BXBX NOVEL Chapter 547 - 547 Attainments
However, after a short moment of surprise, Zhou Li recovered. He calmed himself down and went forward to greet Ye Xuan respectfully.
“Hello, Chairman Ye. It’s really a blessing to be able to meet the chairman of the Dinglong Corporation today.”
“Hey, Master Zhou, you’re being too serious. It’s fate that we met. There’s no need to be too polite. Just be casual.”
Ye Xuan replied calmly. His every move and conversation did not have the childishness of a child. Zhou Li observed him and secretly marveled at the education method of the upper-class families.
To be able to teach a seven or eight-year-old child to be so steady, his family must have put in a lot of effort.
Zhou Li’s deduction was logical, but unfortunately, it did not apply to Ye Xuan.
At this moment, CEO Zhang Feng placed his palm flat in front of Zhou Li again and introduced him to Ye Xuan respectfully.
“Chairman Ye, this is the calligraphy and painting master of the Calligraphy Association, Master Zhou Lizhou. He was once the champion of the calligraphy competition for five consecutive years. He is respectfully addressed by the association and the world as the current Wang Xizhi.”
When Zhou Li heard this, he hurriedly waved his hand and spoke politely.
“Hey, don’t mention it. It’s all because everyone thinks highly of me. I was wrongly loved by everyone to get such a title. I’m really ashamed.”
“Master Zhou, you’re too polite. Your calligraphy pieces and paintings are really top-notch in the current era. It’s very rare for anyone to be near the level of Master Zhou.”
CEO Zhang Feng smiled and walked to the wall of the living room. He took down the words hanging on the wall and brought them to Ye Xuan.
“Chairman Ye, take a look. These are Master Zhou’s authentic works.”
Ye Xuan nodded and squinted at the words on the paper. After a while, he nodded slightly and commented.
“This brush technique naturally shows the thickness of the ink. There’s wetness in the dry, and dryness in the wet. There’s faint in the thick, and thick in the faint. It changes thousands of times, making the entire line of words have a rhythm.”
“By controlling the brush on the paper, he creates wide and narrow blank spaces. The wide spaces give people a sudden sense of cheerfulness. Along the way, he changes his brush technique in a suitable manner. The side of the brush gains momentum and seeks changes. While following the requirements of reason and the aesthetic core of the entire world, he uses the embodiment of his personality to make the calligraphy piece divine. It’s really wonderful.”
“The words are staggered and orderly. The beneficial influence of the words is like a rainbow. The enlightenment and the response between the words, as well as the trend between the words, are very reasonable and correct. The level of Master Zhou’s calligraphy is really high.”
“As the saying goes, art is the process of creating conflicts and resolving them. Master Zhou’s accomplishments in calligraphy are indeed impressive.”
After Ye Xuan finished his evaluation, all the CEOs revealed surprised expressions. The calligraphy and painting master, Zhou Li, and his disciples also revealed shocked expressions. Even his sisters were stunned.
No one expected Ye Xuan to have such a deep understanding of calligraphy. His evaluation was even more professional. He had the eloquence of a master. It was really incompatible with this body.
After being stunned for a while, the CEOs came back to their senses and asked Ye Xuan respectfully.
“Chairman Ye, do you know about calligraphy and paintings too?”
When Ye Xuan heard this, he smiled and spoke.
“I don’t know much. I just quite like it.”
Upon hearing this, everyone knew that Ye Xuan was being humble. After all, to be able to provide such a professional evaluation, he was naturally very capable. It was just like the fact that a person who knew what seasonings were added would naturally know how to cook. It was very normal logic.
Hence, CEO Zhang Feng looked around before looking at Ye Xuan to test him.
“Why don’t we trouble Chairman Ye to write an inscription for the resort? With Chairman Ye’s aura, I think this piece will be the best in history and bring glory to the resort. What do you think?”
As soon as he said this, everyone was stunned.
The expressions of Zhou Li and his disciples immediately darkened. After all, Zhang Feng had invited them over to write an inscription for them. They had come all the way here, but now, he was asking someone else to write for them!
Wasn’t he toying with them?
Although they didn’t dare to say it openly, they cursed inwardly.
[What does Mr. Zhang mean by calling me over from afar? Now, is he asking a brat who knows a little about calligraphy to write an inscription? Where am I going to put my dignity?]
[These old fellows are too good at toying with people. They really don’t take my master seriously at all. What kind of words can a child write? I’m afraid he can’t even hold the brush.]
[This is too disgusting. This old fellow is indeed cunning. He used my master as a monkey to curry favor with the Dinglong Corporation. Indeed, all businessmen are cunning. How disgusting.]
[If I had known earlier, I wouldn’t have come. It’s really insulting. After all, my master is the current Wang Xizhi, who is famous throughout the country. The words in question were even auctioned for ten million yuan. These people are really looking down on others. They’re too shameless.]
Although their expressions were not good, Zhou Li and his three disciples did not say anything and stood silently at the side.
At this moment, many CEOs echoed.
“That’s right. Chairman Ye, why don’t you do the inscription?”
“I believe that your calligraphy is definitely top-notch. It’s really a blessing for an esteemed guest like you to write an inscription for this resort.”
“Come on, Chairman Ye, show everyone your skills!”
“Come on, Chairman Ye, don’t hold back. It’s just that the meaning of this inscription will be extraordinary if you are the one who wrote it.”
When Ye Xuan heard the CEOs say this, he hurriedly declined.
“No, no, no. My calligraphy is really not important enough. It’s more suitable for Master Zhou to do it.”
The CEOs turned a deaf ear and spoke again.
“Chairman Ye, why don’t you give it a try? There’s really no more suitable candidate than you.”
“That’s right, Chairman Ye. Since you know calligraphy, come and show off your skills. Write an inscription for our resort to celebrate.”
“Come on, Chairman Ye, don’t hold back. Come on, come on.”
“Come on, Chairman Ye. Everyone is looking forward to your work.”
Seeing how enthusiastic everyone was, Ye Xuan couldn’t argue with them. He smiled in embarrassment and took a step forward.
“Then I’ll embarrass myself.”
With that, he came to the table and picked up the brush he had prepared beforehand to dip it in ink. He was ready to begin.
Meanwhile, Zhou Li and his three disciples behind felt very unconvinced. They thought to themselves.
[He’s just a child. I’m afraid he inherited the entire corporation from his father. After all, he’s the only son among the ten daughters. Does he know calligraphy? He only knows how to give a few comments. Who doesn’t know how to do this? I’m afraid he doesn’t even know how to adjust the brush.]
[A brat was simply complicated, yet he really thinks that he knows calligraphy. At his age, he can only practice calligraphy for two years at most. Can he compare to my master’s decades of cultivation?]
[What a mess. I don’t believe that he can really write at his age. How old is he? Even if he started practicing calligraphy when he was drinking milk, can he compare to my master’s attainments over the past 30 years?]
