Chapter 156 Summer Valley (2)

Go Hoon had just finished his interview and was in the hallway.

Mr. Writer.

You go ahead. Ill talk to that guy and then leave.

Okay.

Henri Marso, who had sent Arsen to Michelle Platini who was alone, approached Go Hoon.

What are you doing?

Go Hoon looked up at Henri Marso and turned his head away without answering. He was colder than when they first met.

Why is he acting like this?

He had said he didnt hate him, but he changed his attitude in a day and it was hard to figure him out.

What are you doing?

What does it matter to you what I do?

This kid.

Are you done?

Cha Si-hyun, who had been listening to Henri Marso, came over. The boy looked up at Henri Marso and admired him.

Cool.

Who?

Yeah. This man is Henri Marso, right?

He couldnt understand the conversation between the two boys, but he could tell the atmosphere by the look of envy in their eyes as they mentioned his name.

Is this kid a fan of mine too?

What did you say?

Hes your fan. He speaks English, so tell him yourself.

At Go Hoons words, Henri Marso scanned Cha Si-hyun.

He was well-educated, judging by his ability to speak multiple languages at a young age.

But he didnt seem to come from a wealthy family, wearing a Haymarket check shirt and shoes made by Blake method.1)

Im not a fan. Im Cha Si-hyun. Im Go Hoons friend.

Cha Si-hyun bowed his head, but Henri Marso didnt even look at him. He felt no interest when he said he wasnt a fan.

Right now, his mind was full of thoughts of competing with Go Hoon in the French National Art Association contest.

Do your best.

What for?

The contest.

I will.

Be prepared to die. I wont let you off if you lose to those losers.

Go Hoon shook his head.

He couldnt understand why he kept repeating what he should do on his own.

Mister.

Cha Si-hyun looked up at Henri Marso and said.

Please dont bother Go Hoon.

What?

Why do you keep bothering and making Go Hoon miserable? Youre an adult. You shouldnt do that.

He tried to tease me with the grandfathers painting.

Really? How can you do that with a gift? Youre really mean, mister.

Go Hoon vented his resentment and Cha Si-hyun agreed with him.

Henri Marsos temples throbbed.

Why dont you just say you want to play with Go Hoon if you do? Even elementary school students are embarrassed to tease and bother someone they want to be friends with.

Well done.

Go Hoon cheered Cha Si-hyun on with a grunt.

Say that again.

Henri Marso glared at him with bloodshot eyes and threatened him with a face that looked like he was about to pounce on him.

Cha Si-hyun, who had gathered courage for his friend, met his gaze and stuck out his tongue.

Whiiing.

But he was scared when a much bigger man glared at him as if he was going to kill him and he ended up crying.

Go Hoon hugged Cha Si-hyun and comforted him.

Its okay. Its okay. Hes nothing.

Waaah!

He felt relieved as his friend comforted him, but his resentment surged.

Whats going on?

Isnt that Go Hoon and Henry?

Whats going on?

Who is that kid crying?

The attention of the people who were moving around the Seoul Art Museum lobby was drawn to the center.

They stopped walking and looked at Henri Marso and the two boys.

Did he make him cry?

Hey.

Wow.

Where are the kids parents? Hes crying so sadly.

The reporters who had caught the strange signs also gathered one by one, and Go Hoon blamed Henri Marso, who was still angry.

What are you doing, not calming him down!

Why should I calm him down?

Whiiik.

You made him cry!

He started it!

Waaah!

The camera shutter sound started and soon the Seoul Art Museum staff came over.

Whats going on?

Its nothing. Its okay. Dont cry. Its okay.

Huh. Huk. Hup.

Sniff.

Huk. Hic. Hic.

Lalalala. Peekaboo.

What are you doing?

Im calming him down.

Im not a baby.

Go Hoon wiped Cha Si-hyuns tears and the people who watched the scene felt sorry for him.

What happened?

I dont know. He was talking to Henry and suddenly he started crying.

He told Henry not to bother Go Hoon, but Henry told him to say it again. He glared at him.

He must have been scared.

I didnt see it that way, but he was too much.

Yeah. The kid didnt say anything wrong.

The reporters split up and approached Henri Marso and Go Hoon.

What happened?

Is it true that you made the child cry?

What did you talk about!

He was annoyed by the 3,000 pieces of trash who announced their withdrawal from the association, Go Hoon who suddenly changed his attitude, and the brat who scolded him.

And then the reporters came running and Henri Marso finally exploded.

Yeah! I made him cry!

The reporters who were continuing their questioning hesitated.

What? Teasing and bothering someone you want to be friends with is something even elementary school students dont do? Who said I wanted to be friends? I bothered him? Me? This Henri Marso?

Some of the people who understood Henri Marsos words murmured with their companions.

Henry must have been bothering Go Hoon, so the kid told him to stop.

But why did he cry?

I wonder. Why did he bother Go Hoon? Werent they friends?

He wanted to be friends. You know. Kids tease and bother someone theyre interested in.

Oh my. Oh my.

Henri Marso looked around.

He didnt like the sight of people giggling and laughing.

Hey, whats wrong with them?

I dont know.

Isnt he going to stop crying?

Go Hoon ignored Henrys words and comforted Cha Si-hyun.

Henry got angry again and was about to yell when Arsen and Michelle Platini came to him.

Michelle, who had roughly understood the situation, smiled and looked at the reporters and spectators.

You must be surprised, right? Mr. Marso was just playing a little prank on Go Hoon because he wanted to be friends with him. Hes just flustered. Right, Mr. Marso?

What are you talking about?

Michelle turned her head and smiled sweetly.

Right?

But her eyes were full of malice.

She meant that she wouldnt spare him if he didnt fix the situation right away.

Henri Marso snorted and turned his head. Michelle whispered softly enough for only him to hear.

Ill tell your mother.

Henri Marso blushed at that.

What happened?

A reporter asked.

Henri Marso had no choice but to give in to his lovers blackmail.

You heard it! Why do you keep asking?

[Hoping to be friends? Henri Marsos lovesickness, I want to be friends with Go Hoon]

Yesterday, there was a small happening at the Seoul Art Museum where the exhibition Daehan by the painter Go Soo-yeol was held.

Cha Si-hyun (9), the eldest son of EI Sugars CEO Cha Jae-woo, burst into tears while talking to Henri Marso (33), a famous French painter.

The people who were there said that Henri Marso got angry and spoke to Go Hoon, the writer, and Cha tried to stop him, and Henri Marso shouted and scared him.

According to the interview, Henri Marso told Go Hoon to do his best in the French National Art Association contest at the time.

Michelle Platini, the representative of Marso Gallery, explained that it was a misunderstanding due to Henri Marsos rough speech and apologized to the Seoul Art Museum and the spectators.

Henri Marso also said that he sent an apology letter to Cha.

Cha also said in an interview, If you want to play with Go Hoon, lets play together, and the incident ended warmly.

Meanwhile, Henri Marso is currently revising the Salon and the subsidiary contest hosted by the French National Art Association.

It is expected that there will be a hitch in the plan due to the opposition of 3,000 critics and artists belonging to the association.

Im going crazy, seriously

Henry is so cute

Did you want to play with 10-year-old and 11-year-old kids? Did you? Coochie coochie coo.

Did the reporter go crazy Lovesickness

It got nasty at the end.

The French Art Association has a lot of influence. What are they doing to oppose 3,000 people?

Theyre having a contest in November to get a special exhibition qualification for the Salon. Theyre getting rid of the judges there.

Then whos going to judge?

Theyre eliminating the judging altogether and doing it by voting. By the spectators.

Its like a competition program.

But is there a reason to oppose that? Competition programs also have experts as panels.

Theyre not doing that either. They said it creates misunderstandings between the works and the spectators.

But isnt that insulting to the docents and stuff? Theyre the ones who try to convey the artists intention as objectively as possible.

Henri Marso doesnt seem to think so.

?

He thinks his work is perfect. He thinks its insulting to him to have to explain something hes already made perfectly.

Oh, I guess that makes sense.

Im so gullible that I dont know whos right whenever I hear these stories I understand the docents and experts positions and Henrys words seem right too.

Cant they just split the ratio evenly? Like judges percentage and votes percentage.

Henry doesnt like that

But no matter how much Henri Marso dominates the association, he cant ignore this.

Yeah. I looked at other articles and the number of people who opposed it kept increasing. Its not good to make enemies.

[Link][The crisis of the venerable Salon]

This article says that the Salon of the French National Art Association is the oldest among the existing Salons, but it has been ruined by Henri Marso in the last four years.

They wrote it so aggressively. They said the association was being manipulated by a rich tycoon.

It seems like a big hit to his image. There are a lot of articles like this right now.

Its okay. My brothers reputation cant get worse.

What are you talking about.

It cant get worse than this.

Wow an article came out.

[Link][Henri Marso, orders the expulsion of 3,000 members of the French National Art Association]

Wow. Look at the wording. The more garbage, the more it stinks.

What happened? Henry is good at talking, but hes not a liar.

Yeah.

Henri Marso clenched his teeth as he read the article that quoted the Korean article.

He was known as the person who bothered Go Hoon because he wanted to be friends with him.

He yelled at Michelle, who made the situation this way.

What are you going to do!

What are you going to do!

Henry was surprised by the unexpected scream.

Do you have any idea? No?

What.

What are you going to do with the people you cut off? Are you going to exclude everyone you dont like? Do you have anyone you like?

You.

Im serious right now.

Michelle took a breath and glared at him. Henri Marso buried his back on the sofa. He closed his eyes and paused for a moment before opening his mouth.

Why do we have the Antermittent?

Michelle calmed down and sat down at his serious attitude.

Its to help the people who cant do art because of their livelihood.

Then why are there only 140,000?

Michelle couldnt answer.

In France, the number of people who work in performance and art jobs increases every year, and as of 2028, 580,000 people are registered in the Antermittent.

But only 140,000 of them were eligible for the Antermittent system, which provides the minimum living expenses for artists.

Henri Marso said firmly.

Its because of the garbage.

If you look at what the people in the association do to calculate their working hours, youll feel sick.
