After the exhibition began, the organizers took to the stage to give their speeches, which were nothing more than the usual official rhetoric, thanking everyone for attending—remarks that no one was particularly interested in. What came next, however, was the introduction of the exhibiting teachers...
Xi Fangli was arguably the most esteemed artist at this exhibition, and everyone was looking forward to his appearance.
According to the original schedule provided by the organizers, Xi Fangli should have been the first to take the stage. Somehow, at the last minute, the schedule was changed, and he was moved to the very end.
"This organizer sure knows how to create suspense, deliberately putting Master Xi at the end to whet everyone's appetite," someone commented.
"I wonder how Tang Wan is feeling right now; she must be very nervous."
