If it turns out bad, what if your future father-in-law doesn't like it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao De made a bitter face, \"Big bro, I don't even know how to start painting.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why not go ask a master from the painting club to do it for you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao De replied, \"The president of the painting club is his disciple. If I were to ask someone from outside, it would cost at least a few thousand. Big bro, just paint one for me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Zhao De's persistent requests, Qin Hao nodded and agreed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Big bro, I've prepared everything.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, Zhao De took out some items and placed them on the table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Hao stood there, unsure, as he didn't know what landscape painting to create.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What's the matter, big bro?\" Zhao De, seeing him motionless, asked curiously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Hao: \"I'm thinking about which one to do. They didn't have any specific requests, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, just paint anything.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After thinking for a bit, Qin Hao reached into his pocket and pulled out some money. He looked through it and then took out a twenty Xuan Country Coin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The back of the coin featured a Xilin Mountain and Water landscape painting. The mountains were mystical, the waters picturesque, with an elder rowing a boat and an osprey perching majestically.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Hao: \"How about I paint this one?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Big bro, you're so talented...\" Zhao De was thoroughly impressed, figuratively throwing himself at Qin Hao's feet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Hao placed the coin beside him as a reference.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He picked up the brush and began painting directly, the image from the back of the coin already fully outlined in his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao De knew better than to disturb him while he painted, so he stood by quietly, watching without making a sound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In less than half an hour, a landscape painting vividly emerged on the paper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao De was stunned when he saw it because the landscape painting Qin Hao created was incredibly beautiful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mountains were vividly portrayed, the rivers were winding, the fisherman wore a straw raincoat, and the osprey stood tall on a bamboo pole.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To Zhao De, everything looked so lifelike. He felt as if he was in the scene, itching to visit that place for himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Holy crap, big bro, is this what you meant by 'not having painted much'?\" Zhao De's eyes were glued to the painting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This painting was far more beautiful than the landscape paintings hung on the walls of Xu Lu's home.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And those were all made by famous artists!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he knew nothing about painting, Zhao De could still tell what was visually appealing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Hao took a look and felt quite satisfied too: \"Taking it out shouldn't be too embarrassing, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao De: \"Embarrassing? Big bro, your stealth boasting is deadly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ping, hearing their conversation, grew curious and came over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked at the landscape painting: \"Big bro, did you just paint this? It's so beautiful. You can paint too?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A bit.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Hao had acquired painting skills in the past but didn't think they were useful, so he had never upgraded them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Big bro, just add my name to it,\" Zhao De said with a cheeky grin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Hao picked up the brush and swiftly, in two characters written in Small Seal Script, finished the signature in the bottom left corner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Big bro, what did you write here?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Hao: \"This is Small Seal Script, the text from the Qin Dynasty.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...Big bro, everyone has spinal discs, why do you have to stand out?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Get lost, you're the one with the disc issues. I'm perfectly fine.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, Zhao De's phone suddenly rang. He took it out, glanced at the two, then answered, \"Hello, Lu Lu, what's up?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Lu's voice came through: \"Keep boasting in front of my dad, now you regret it, don't you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao De confusedly said, \"What boasting? When did I boast?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Lu: \"Still pretending in front of me? You can paint? If you upset my dad, we really might not end up together. Why don't you just admit you were wrong?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao De, smiling, said, \"Admit I was wrong? That's absolutely out of the question. I just finished the landscape painting, and tomorrow we'll go see your dad and let him see just how overflowing my talent is.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He'll know tomorrow just how outstanding a boyfriend his daughter has found.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ping and Qin Hao both wore speechless expressions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ping usually thought Zhao De was the most straightforward, but he didn't expect him to be so shameless at times.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Indeed, the power of love is great!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You didn't pay someone to paint this, did you?\" Xu Lu asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao De: \"I wouldn't do something that silly, don't worry, your dad will definitely be satisfied when he sees it tomorrow.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After hanging up the phone, Zhao De smiled and said, \"After this goes through, I'll treat you guys to a meal.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The meal isn't important, just be happy,\" Qin Hao said with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm back.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fatty's voice came through before he even entered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked somewhat tired, but there was a smile on his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had just come in when he noticed the landscape painting on the table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who bought this painting? It's pretty nice,\" the fatty curiously asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao De quickly guarded the painting, fearing the fatty might accidentally damage it: \"Hao painted this just now. I need to take it to my future father-in-law tomorrow to see if Lu Lu and I can make it happen based on tomorrow.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hao can paint too?\" The fatty was momentarily stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao De: \"Of course, you underestimate who Hao is—a once-in-a-century young genius, a future pillar of the nation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the way, Hao, do you have a car? Can I borrow it to drive tomorrow? Although it's already autumn, it's still a bit hot out.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Hao laughed speechlessly: \"Cut out the flattery, I'll have someone bring the car to you tomorrow. We can't lose face of our 301 dorm.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thanks, Hao. If this works out, I'll treat everyone to a meal,\" Zhao De gratefully said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Hao looked at the fatty and asked, \"What did you do all day today?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fatty took a sip of water, sat down on a chair, and said, \"Today, Xiao Cui and I went shopping and talked a lot. Hao, I've decided I'm going to start a business; otherwise, I'll drift further and further away from her, and I don't want to lose her!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ping and Zhao De looked at him in surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Hao asked, \"So, what kind of company do you plan to start? Do you have a target yet?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fatty shook his head: \"No, Hao, you have experience. What kind of company should I start?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Hao: \"That depends on what industry you understand and which you're interested in.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don't know,\" the fatty said awkwardly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Hao: \"If you don't know what kind of business to start, you should think about it carefully.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fatty nodded, his mind harboring entrepreneurial ideas, but he was still unsure what to pursue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xie Cui's family dealt in electronic products. He initially wanted to go into that, but later reconsidered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next morning\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Hao and three others left the dormitory, Zhao De still holding onto a scroll of painting that had dried after last night's inking, which he had framed a bit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn't long before Qin Hao saw six girls walking toward them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fatty curiously asked, \"Hao, which one is your girlfriend?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao De: \"The prettiest one in the middle.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hao, you've got good taste,\" Chen Ping remarked as he saw Xu Lu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, Xu Lu and her group approached.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao De began, \"Lu Lu, let me introduce you. These three are my buddies. This is Qin Hao, Wang Yanghua, and Chen Ping.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Lu smiled and said, \"Hello, I'm Xu Lu.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Nice to meet you, sister-in-law.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Lu's cheeks turned slightly red. Was it alright to address her so directly?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her roommates snickered. These freshmen sure talked interestingly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But they weren't much interested in Qin Hao and the others—they weren't handsome and didn't look like they were rich.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To them, Zhao De, with his tall and handsome appearance, seemed the most handsome, followed by Qin Hao, Chen Ping, and Wang Yanghua.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Update has arrived!]\u003C\u002Fp>",1445,"2026-06-10T07:14:19.655Z",1,"novelbin.me","3f563116ab0b320ac9abb31d4adf47c52921290183c4538da06164c9b2b4cb51","urban-god-level-youth-chapter-219","urban-god-level-youth-chapter-217",1372,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Furban-god-level-youth-cover.jpg"]
