328 President Liu

Beside him, Liu Wei also pulled up her skirt and squatted down. She leaned over and whispered, "Little Xuan, what's wrong with these words? They look quite good to us. Why can't these words be placed here?"

Ye Xuan said, "That's not what I meant."

Wang Jing also came over and smiled. "Little brother, you're spouting nonsense. You angered everyone this time." As she spoke, she even took the opportunity to pinch Ye Xuan's smooth little face. "Thankfully, my grandfather is one of the organizers. Otherwise, if the owner of this piece heard this, he would definitely chase you out."

Then, there was a commotion behind them. Everyone turned around and happened to see another group of people enter the room.

Looking at that group of people, everyone began to whisper.

"Wow! Why are all these big bosses here? The people who came in are the president and vice president of the Jinling Calligraphy Association. There's also the president and vice president of the Hanghuai Painting and Calligraphy Club. Eh? Who's the man standing at the front…?"

Everyone was also puzzled. Who was the man in the lead? Why was he surrounded by so many famous presidents and vice presidents?

Many people discussed this animatedly, guessing the man's identity.

After discussing it for a long time, someone finally said the answer. "This is President Liu. His name is Liu Haikang and his family business is not small."

"Liu Haikang? Isn't he the collector of those pieces from just now?"

Everyone was shocked.

While Liu Haikang walked in front of everyone, the others had flattering expressions.

"President Liu, that piece of calligraphy has truly returned to original purity and simplicity. The artistic conception is eternal."

Then, the president of the Calligraphy Association said, "Have you thought about it? Can't you exchange it for a piece by Mi Fu?"

Without thinking, Liu Haikang said, "No."

"How petty," said the president in a low voice. He was obviously in a very low mood. "What about if I add another piece by Dong Qichang?!"

Liu Haikang remained silent.

The president said dejectedly, "How did this happen…"

At this moment, Wang Jing leaned over and said, "Grandpa, you're here."

At this moment, the president pulled himself together a little and said, "Aiyo, my good granddaughter, why are you here?" Then, the president pulled Wang Jing's hand and touched her head. He complained to her like a child, "Let me tell you, Uncle Liu is especially petty. I wanted to give him a piece by Mi Fu, but he was unwilling to exchange it for a piece that he collected."

Wang Jing asked, "Is it the calligraphy piece in the exhibition center?"

"That's right. That's a rare masterpiece in modern calligraphy," said the president.

Then, Zhang Feng walked up and said, "Hello, Grandpa Wang."

"Ah, you are…" The president turned to look at the vice president beside him.

The vice president nodded and said, "It's my useless youngest son, Zhang Feng."

The president smiled and said, "Zhang Feng? Not bad, not bad. I heard that you won many newcomer awards from the Calligraphy Association, right? The young people these days are not bad."

The vice president knew that Zhang Feng had won the award because others had given him respect. At this moment, he did not dare to reply.

Then, Zhang Feng scratched his head and said, "Hehe, it's alright, it's alright. Ah, right, Grandpa President, I saw the calligraphy piece you mention just now. It's probably very difficult to find a comparable masterpiece in this century, let alone in the next ten years. However, you don't know that someone actually questioned this calligraphy just now."

Upon hearing this, Liu Haikang also looked over and asked curiously, "Oh? What did he say?"

"President Liu, it made me angry just now. A brat actually questioned how this calligraphy piece could be hung here. From his disdainful expression and tone, people who like calligraphy will be angry." Zhang Feng tried his best to add fuel to the fire.

"Can this piece be placed here?" Zhang Feng even imitated Ye Xuan's tone. His imitation was very lifelike.

The surrounding people also echoed, "That's right, that's right. I wonder which brat was running around and even spouting nonsense."

"What a spoilsport. You're interrupting our enjoyment of the masterpiece!"

"That's right. Which family's child can speak like this? Don't you know that this is a place that belongs to cultured people? It's fine if a child doesn't understand the value of this master's calligraphy and painting, but why did the adults let him run around?"

Then, Zhang Feng took the opportunity to pretend to answer the surrounding crowd, but in fact, he deliberately pointed at Ye Xuan and said, "It's him!"

Liu Haikang's gaze followed Zhang Feng's finger and looked at Ye Xuan.

When Liu Haikang saw Ye Xuan, his expression suddenly changed and he strode towards Ye Xuan!

Meanwhile, Wang Jing knew that something was wrong and quickly went forward to block Ye Xuan. "President Liu, he didn't mean it. That's not what he meant. Children are insensible and straightforward. If they think of something, they'll say it. Don't take it seriously."

Liu Haikang moved aside and wanted to walk around her, but he was blocked by Liu Wei again.

Liu Haikang looked at the president of the Calligraphy Association helplessly.

At this moment, Wang Jing quickly ran to the president and said, "Grandpa, quickly help me tell President Liu. Ye Xuan is just a child. He can't be taken seriously!"

The president looked at the child, then at the painting he badly wanted to obtain in exchange.

Although it was a child, he could not help but feel a little uncomfortable that the child had mysteriously mocked the divine work that he admired.

Just as the president was hesitating if he should help his granddaughter, Ye Xuan walked out himself.

At this moment, Liu Haikang also walked quickly to Ye Xuan and smiled warmly. "Chairman Ye! You're actually here! Why didn't you tell me in advance?"

In an instant, everyone present was stunned.

The people behind Liu Haikang were stunned, Zhang Feng was stunned, Wang Jing was stunned, and the Liu sisters were also stunned.

Chairman Ye?

Wait, was Liu Haikang calling that child Chairman Ye? He even looked so enthusiastic.

They didn't know what the title of "Chairman Ye" meant, but there was a hint of admiration in the enthusiasm on Liu Haikang's face. There was also a hint of respect in his flattery. He didn't seem to be joking at all.

"President Liu, did you make a mistake?" At this moment, Zhang Feng stood rooted to the ground, feeling as if his feet were filled with lead.

He couldn't believe the scene in front of him. Liu Haikang was actually so enthusiastic about that little boy and even called him Chairman Ye.

This was impossible!

"That's right, there must be a mistake, right? Why is President Liu so enthusiastic about a child? Could it be that he's the child of a rich person?" The surrounding passers-by were also discussing. Why was this rich president suddenly so enthusiastic about a child?

However, Liu Haikang did not reply to Zhang Feng and the passersby. In his ears, these people's words were like white noise.

Seeing Liu Haikang's attitude, Zhang Feng suddenly felt like he had fallen into an ice cave. He had a bad feeling.

Right on the heels of that, Wang Jing looked at Ye Xuan in shock. "Little brother, you know President Liu?"
