#37 - Chapter 37 Mengyao, buy this calligraphy!

After Chen Xinhan left, Jiang Xuesong logged onto Weibo. He had his own account, but he rarely updated it.

"I'm fortunate to have acquired a piece of calligraphy from 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 it didn't take long for them to see the Weibo post.

"Old Jiang is a calligraphy master himself. For him to call someone else a master, who exactly is this Lin Yu?"

"I know him. Chairman Gu has liked his posts before. I didn't expect even Old Jiang to think so highly of Lin Yu's calligraphy. It seems Lin Yu's skill is truly high."

"I thought Lin Yu was just good at signatures. I was being shallow. Lin Yu's signature isn't his full ability."

Comments flooded in under Jiang Xuesong's Weibo post.

Many of his followers were from the calligraphy world, including some highly skilled individuals. They were all surprised when they saw the photo.

"Old Brother Jiang, I'm coming for tea."

"Old Jiang, the photo isn't very clear. I'll be right over. You have to prepare good wine and food."

"I've written the Preface to the Orchid Pavilion Collection countless times, and I'm still not as good as him. I'm buying a plane ticket to come and learn."

Big names in the calligraphy world left messages one after another upon receiving the news.

The news spread quickly.

With the development of online media today, news travels fast.

"Editor-in-chief, the website traffic has increased!"

"The sales of Master Lin Yu's books are also showing a very obvious upward trend."

Someone in the Tongxin website editorial department said excitedly.

Originally, the book sales curve was continuously declining, but now it was rising sharply at a fifty or sixty-degree angle.

"Good, that's great."

A thick smile appeared on Chen Xinhan's face.

Helping Jiang Xuesong buy things from Lin Chen was not a waste of time. Jiang Xuesong's influence was indeed significant.

"Master, Old Jiang posted a Weibo update, and many people have liked and forwarded it. The news has exploded, and book sales have now seen a considerable increase."

Chen Xinhan sent a message to Lin Chen.

"Okay."

Lin Chen replied simply.

He wasn't too surprised.

He had already bought a house and wasn't short of money. Whether the books sold well or not didn't have much impact on him.

Compared to that, skills were much better.

Lin Xiaoxi often brought him even greater surprises.

"Daddy, I want to cry."

Lin Xiaoxi woke up from her nap with a pout.

Lin Chen quickly comforted her, "Xiaoxi, did you have a nightmare? Or do you miss Mommy?"

"Daddy, I wet the bed again."

"I'm not a good baby anymore."

Tears vaguely glistened in Lin Xiaoxi's eyes.

"Xiaoxi, you haven't wet the bed in a long time, you've been great. There's a waterproof pad on the bed, Daddy will just wash the pad."

Lin Chen quickly changed Lin Xiaoxi's clothes.

Over at Tongxin website, Chen Xinhan was filled with emotion.

A big shot is indeed a big shot.

If other authors' book sales increased, they would definitely be very happy, but Lin Yu was so indifferent.

"Master, many people are asking for your contact information. Some of them want to buy your calligraphy. We will definitely keep your information strictly confidential."

Chen Xinhan sent another message.

Lin Chen finished changing Lin Xiaoxi's clothes.

His phone rang. He picked it up and looked at it, "Editor-in-chief, thank you."

……

Xu Mengyao returned to her office after a meeting.

"Eh—"

Xu Mengyao scrolled through short videos.

Big data pushed Lin Yu-related news to her.

"Preface to the Orchid Pavilion Collection."

Xu Mengyao zoomed in and looked at it carefully.

She wasn't particularly knowledgeable about calligraphy, but the Preface to the Orchid Pavilion Collection written by Lin Chen was very pleasing to the eye.

"Who is Jiang Xuesong?"

Xu Mengyao muttered to herself.

She searched for him and was amazed by the results. Jiang Xuesong was actually the former president of the Calligraphy Association, with very high calligraphy attainments.

"Dad, how is this piece of calligraphy?"

Xu Mengyao sent a photo of the Preface to the Orchid Pavilion Collection written by Lin Chen to Xu Guofeng.

It was midnight in the United States.

Xu Mengyao didn't expect to get a reply immediately, but Xu Guofeng wasn't asleep at the moment and saw the message.

Xu Mengyao wasn't good at calligraphy, but Xu Guofeng's calligraphy skills were good. He had put a lot of effort into this aspect.

Moreover, compared to calligraphy, Xu Guofeng's appreciation level was even higher. He had money, and he had seen many top-notch works.

"Preface to the Orchid Pavilion Collection."

"Too many people have written this, it's not easy to stand out."

Xu Guofeng muttered to himself.

He clicked on the picture and looked at it carefully.

Five minutes passed, Xu Guofeng finished reading it, and he was surprised. This work was obviously new, but he couldn't think of anyone who had such a high level of skill today.

"Whose work is this?"

"As long as the price doesn't exceed one million, buy it."

Xu Guofeng sent a message to Xu Mengyao.

A look of surprise appeared in Xu Mengyao's eyes, "Dad, you're really willing to spend that much. This isn't a cultural relic, it's a modern work, 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 one million to buy it."

Xu Guofeng urged.

"This was displayed by Jiang Xuesong, Old Jiang. He must have bought it from someone else and definitely won't sell it to us."

Xu Guofeng was very regretful, "That's a pity. Old Jiang is very fond of calligraphy, he definitely won't part with it."

Xu Mengyao muttered to herself.

It would be simple if Xu Guofeng wanted it.

She could buy it from Lin Chen in the future. If she didn't have that much face, she could still ask her daughter for help.

"Dad, rest early."

"You sent me this thing, how can I fall asleep anytime soon? I'll take a closer look and study it."

Xu Mengyao muttered, "Lin Chen, how much more are you hiding?"

Cooking, calligraphy, painting, fairy tale creation, Lin Chen is at the top level in everything, and he also knows several foreign languages.

"Knock knock!"

The sound of knocking on the door rang.

"Come in."

Xu Mengyao said. Shen Qing pushed the door open and came in, "President Xu, it's not easy to see you now."

Xu Mengyao said helplessly, "There are too many things in the company. Many things have to be handled by me personally. It's still good for you, you don't lack money and you don't have anything to do."

"Anything this afternoon? Want to go shopping?"

Shen Qing asked.

Xu Mengyao looked at her watch, "I have a meeting in forty-five minutes, I have to meet with 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. If you don't advance, you retreat. If the company goes bankrupt, my parents and I can still live well."

"But so many employees in the whole company."

"Many employees have been following my dad since he started his business. What will they do if the company goes down?"

Shen Qing sighed softly, "What you said is also true. Your family has such a big group company, you can't relax."

"Mengyao, I heard that Zhang Tianyu is pursuing you?"

Xu Mengyao: "I'm not interested in him."

Shen Qing said with a solemn expression, "Mengyao, he's not a good person. If he's rejected here, will he do something unfavorable to Lin Chen and Xiaoxi?"

Xu Mengyao's face turned cold, "Dare he!"
