After Chen Xinhang left, Jiang Xuesong logged into Weibo. He had his own account, but he rarely updated it.
"It was my honor to acquire a Calligraphy Masterpiece by Master Lin Yu. I, Jiang, have prepared some tea and sincerely invite a group of old friends to come and appreciate and discuss it."
Jiang Xuesong posted a Weibo update.
He also included a high-definition photo he had just taken.
Many people followed Jiang Xuesong, and they quickly saw the Weibo post.
"Old Jiang is a master of calligraphy. He actually calls someone else a master. Who exactly is this Lin Yu?"
"I know him. President Gu has liked his posts. I didn't expect that Old Jiang would think so highly of Lin Yu's calligraphy. It seems Lin Yu's skill is really high."
"I thought Lin Yu was only good at signatures. I was being shallow. Lin Yu's signature isn't his full strength."
Jiang Xuesong's Weibo was immediately flooded with comments.
Many of his followers were from the calligraphy world, including some highly skilled individuals. They were all astonished by the photos.
"Old Jiang, I'm coming over for tea."
"Old Jiang, the photos aren't very clear. I'll be right over. You better have good wine and food prepared."
"I've written the Preface to the Orchid Pavilion Poems countless times, and I'm not as good as him. I'm buying a plane ticket to come and learn."
The calligraphy world's big names all left messages as soon as they heard the news.
The news spread rapidly.
With today's advanced online media, information travels very fast.
"Editor-in-chief, the website traffic is up!"
"The sales of Lin Yu's book are also showing a very obvious upward trend."
Someone in the Tongxin Website editorial department said with surprise.
Originally, the book sales curve had been constantly declining, but now the sales curve was rising at an angle of fifty to sixty degrees.
"Good, great."
Chen Xinhang's face showed a deep smile.
Helping Jiang Xuesong buy things from Lin Chen wasn't in vain; Jiang Xuesong's influence was indeed considerable.
"Big boss, Old Jiang posted a Weibo, and a lot of people liked and reposted it. The news blew up, and the sales of the book have now increased significantly."
Chen Xihan sent Lin Chen a message.
"Okay."
Lin Chen replied simply.
He wasn't overly excited.
He had already bought a house, and he wasn't short on money now. Whether his books sold well or not didn't affect him much.
Compared to that, skills were much better.
Lin Xiaoxi often brought him even bigger surprises.
"Dad, I want to cry."
Lin Xiaoxi woke up from her nap, her mouth downturned.
Lin Chen immediately comforted her, "Xiaoxi, did you have a bad dream? Or are you missing Mommy, right?"
"Daddy, I wet the bed again."
"I'm not a good baby anymore."
Tears shimmered in Lin Xiaoxi's eyes.
"Xiaoxi, you haven't wet the bed in a long time; you've been doing great. There's a waterproof pad on the bed, Daddy will just wash it."
Lin Chen quickly changed Lin Xiaoxi's clothes.
Over at the Tongxin Website, Chen Xinhuan was filled with emotion.
An expert is an expert, indeed.
Other authors would be thrilled if their book sales increased, but Lin Yu seemed so nonchalant.
"Boss, a lot of people are asking for your contact information. Some of them want to buy your Calligraphy Masterpiece. We will definitely keep your information strictly confidential."
Chen Xinhang sent another message.
Lin Chen had just finished changing Lin Xiaoxi's clothes
His phone rang, and he picked it up to see the message: "Editor-in-chief, thank you."
Xu Mengyao returned to the office after a meeting.
"Huh——"
Xu Mengyao scrolled through the short video feed.
The algorithm had pushed some content related to Lin Yu to her.
"Preface to the Orchid Pavilion Poems."
Xu Mengyao zoomed in for a closer look.
She wasn't particularly knowledgeable about calligraphy, but Lin Chen's Preface to the Orchid Pavilion Poems was still very pleasing to her eyes.
"Who is Jiang Xuesong?"
Xu Mengyao wondered to herself.
She did a search. Looking at the results, Xu Mengyao was astonished. Jiang Xuesong turned out to be the former chairman of the Calligraphy Association, and his calligraphy skills were very high.
"Dad, how's this calligraphy?"
Xu Mengyao sent the photo of Lin Chen's Preface to the Orchid Pavilion Poems to Xu Guofeng.
It was the middle of the night in America.
Xu Mengyao didn't expect an immediate reply, but Xu Guofeng wasn't asleep. He saw the message.
Xu Mengyao wasn't good at calligraphy, but Xu Guofeng had a good foundation. He had put in a lot of effort in this area.
Moreover, compared to calligraphy itself, Xu Guofeng's appreciation skills were even higher. He was wealthy and had seen many top-tier works.
"The Preface to the Orchid Pavilion Poems."
"A lot of people write this. It won't be easy to stand out."
Xu Guofeng muttered to himself.
He clicked on the picture and examined it carefully.
Five minutes passed, and Xu Guofeng finished looking. He was astonished. This piece was clearly new, but he couldn't imagine who currently possessed such a high level of skill.
"Whose work is this?"
"Buy it, as long as the price is no more than a million."
Xu Guofeng sent a message to Xu Mengyao.
Xu Mengyao's eyes showed surprise: "Dad, you're really willing, huh? This isn't an antique; it's a modern piece, and it hasn't been written for long."
"Mengyao, you don't understand, it's worth a million. Don't dawdle, just offer the other party a million to buy it."
Xu Guofeng urged, "Hurry up and take a look."
"This is something Old Jiang Xuesong showed us. He bought it from someone else, so he definitely won't sell it to us."
Xu Guofeng was disappointed. "That's a pity. Old Jiang really loves calligraphy; he definitely won't part with it."
Xu Mengyao was thinking to herself.
It would actually be simple for Xu Guofeng to get it if he wanted to.
She could buy it from Lin Chen later. If she didn't have enough pull, she could always ask her daughter for help.
"Dad, you should get some rest."
"You sent me this thing, how could I possibly sleep right away? I'm going to take another close look and study it."
Xu Mengyao murmured, "Lin Chen, just how much have you been hiding?"
Cooking, calligraphy, painting, and fairytale writing – Lin Chen was at the top of his game in all of them. He also knew several foreign languages.
Knock, knock!
A knock sounded at the door.
"Come in."
Xu Mengyao said. Shen Qing pushed the door open and entered, "It's not easy to see you these days, President Xu."
Xu Mengyao said helplessly, "The company has too much going on. Many things still need to be handled by me personally. You're lucky, you don't lack money and don't have much to do."
"Do you have anything planned for this afternoon? Want to go shopping?"
Shen Qing asked.
Xu Mengyao glanced at her watch. "I have a meeting in forty-five minutes. I need to see a leader from a government department."
Shen Qing pouted. "Can't you work less and earn less?"
Xu Mengyao shook her head. "It's not as simple as you think. It's like sailing upstream; if you don't advance, you retreat. If the company collapses, my parents and I can still live well."
"But there are so many employees in the whole company."
"Many employees have been with my father since he started the business. If the company goes down, what will they do then?"
Shen Qing sighed softly. "You're right. Your family's such a big group, you can't afford to relax."
"Mengyao, I heard that Zhang Tianyu is pursuing you?"
Xu Mengyao: "I'm not interested in him."
Shen Qing's expression was grave. "Mengyao, he's not a good person. If he fails with you, won't he try to harm Lin Chen and Xiaoxi?"
Xu Mengyao's face turned cold. "He wouldn't dare!"
