"What? Young man, are you not afraid? Of course, if you’re willing to apologize to , that would be enough."
Cai Shaojun noticed Xu Yan’s silence and felt that Xu Yan was overwheld by his calligraphy ultimate skill, making him even more proud.
Humph! A young brat who doesn’t know anything about calligraphy; he was just scared speechless by my two little tricks.
"I was just wondering, you’re already so old and yet your writing is still this bad, truly remarkable."
Xu Yan looked at Cai Shaojun’s raised mouth corner and sneered.
"You...you stubborn duck, well then, let see your masterpiece!"
Cai Shaojun’s face turned ugly, and he said coldly to Xu Yan.
"Ah! Truly like a stubborn mule! Mr. Cai’s work is already in front of him. Yet he hasn’t given up?"
"Humph! There are always so overconfident fools. He’ll soon realize how laughable his actions are.
"Yes, indeed. He thinks he can compete with Mr. Cai after just a few days of practice. Naive."
So people, although watching Xu Yan, didn’t seem to be dying, kept making sarcastic comnts one after another, especially Cao Kuangcuo whose face was the ugliest.
Zhou Jiang remained silent, mistakenly thinking Xu Yan had fooled him. Zhang Guohua beca increasingly interested in Xu Yan. Perhaps he would surprise him.
"Miss Cao, could you help prepare the ink?"
Xu Yan smiled and said to Cao Siyu, who stood in the pavilion.
For a mont, all the spectators were silent, their eyes captivated by the four large characters.
A truly talented individual.
Cao Siyu was shocked, uncontrollably. He was truly shaless yet proud of his talent.
Lu Yuanlong and Mayor Zhou Jiang were both shocked. Xu Yan could write such perfect characters, which was completely unexpected. They were all eye-catching.
Zhang Guohua’s eyes shone brighter, watching Xu Yan without knowing what he was thinking.
Although Master Cao was a chef, he could see that Cai Shaojun’s words were on a completely different level from Xu Yan’s words. At that mont, the "color" on his face seed distant.
Cai Shaojun’s face was the most dazzling as he was first shocked, then incredulous, and muttered to himself:
"This...this can’t be possible. How can it be possible?"
He couldn’t believe that these four characters were written by a "brat", but the facts were right in front of him.
"Master Cai, I wonder if my masterpiece has caught your attention?"
Xu Yan put down the brush and looked at Cai Shaojun’s expressions.
"This...this..."
Cai Shaojun’s face turned pale, unable to speak for a long ti after hearing this sarcastic comnt.
How can he deny it in death? His old face would be truly lost if everyone compared their works. What would his be? Trash?
Thinking about the sarcasm he directed at Xu Yan earlier, he felt so angry that he wished he could dig a hole and bury himself in it.
"Oh! I underestimated the entire world. This young man is indeed capable of these four words. I lost."
In everyone’s eyes, he couldn’t possibly go back on his word. He sighed for a long ti, speaking with a world-weary tone, aging several years in an instant.
"Crack!"
At this mont, a round of applause rang out as Zhou Jiang clapped and said appreciatively:
"Good handwriting! Truly good handwriting!" Earlier, my colleagues saw it too. Master Cao, please bring out your ultimate skills. Today, I invite Zhou Jiang to make up for my brother’s oversight.
As a major of the city, he was not like those novels where jealousy would suppress the protagonist’s writing. He had a temperant, tolerance, and acknowledged talent.
"Mayor Zhou is very polite, but earlier I made a bet with my brother. It seems I’ve lost. Later, my brother will dine here for free. So let invite Cao Lixiu over, let’s have a al together today."
Master Cao was rough but upright; he imdiately admitted defeat and accepted the bet.
"Alright, then I’ll have a al with my brother." Zhou Jiang Ween smiled at Xu Yan jokingly.
"Ladies and gentlen, it’s my turn to conclude!" Zhang Guohua suddenly said loudly.
People looked at him confusedly, not knowing what he wanted to say.
Zhang Guohua looked at Xu Yan thoughtfully and politely said, "Brother, I invite you as the dean of Song Mountain Art Academy, to be my honorary calligraphy professor. I wonder if you would appreciate it."
We all took a breath of cold air, looking at Zhang Guohua in disbelief.
To know Xu Yan’s age, he looked at most in his twenties. Inviting him to the Song Mountain Art Academy as an unknown professor, even if it’s just an honorary professor, what an honor!
Song Mountain Art Academy is a famous university in China, cultivating many art talents, incomparable to those third-rate schools.
Knowing that Xu Yan is the calligraphy professor at Song Mountain Art Academy, Cai Shaojun was utterly shocked. He wanted to refute but, seeing the four characters, he couldn’t say a word.
Xu Yan was also stunned, thinking, Cao! Being a professor? A labor worker and managent worker could be a professor? But I graduated in psychology, okay?
"Brother Xu was shocked by this decision and didn’t imdiately agree, which is a good thing."
Lu Yuanlong saw Xu Yan was stunned and hurriedly ran to remind us, such a thing cannot be missed.
"Thank you, Mr. Zhang." Of course, I will not hesitate, but don’t call younger brother so politely. My na is Xu Yan. Just call Xiao Xu.
Xu Yan reacted quickly and agreed. He felt a bit excited about not becoming a professor.
But more because of Song Mountain Art Academy! All handso guys and beautiful girls, and even handso guys, most importantly the beautiful girls!
"Hahaha, good, Xiao Xu. I’ll prepare the contract tomorrow, and we’ll discuss the treatnt during it."
Zhang Guohua laughed, clearly very pleased, and took Xu Yan’s phone number on the spot.
"Well then... Xu...Master Xu, I have an unpolished request. I wonder if I may add these words to my collection."
At this mont, Big Beard Cao Lixiu suddenly beca bashful and said.
Cao Lixiu and Cao Siyu went to the kitchen, and the rest of the people sat by the table.
During that ti, several people beca quite interested in Xu Yan, asking Lu Yuanlong one after another.
However, Lu Yuanlong didn’t know much, so naturally didn’t say much, but Xu Yan wasn’t easy to describe.
Everyone knew Lu Yuanlong. A monk from Song Mountain said Xu Yan wasn’t simple. In summary, surely not simple.
So, naturally, everyone had good will, and Xu Yan cooperated well. It could be said the conversation was very pleasant.
Over half an hour later, the dishes were ready. Cao Siyu invited them to the restaurant. Cao Siyu never dared to look directly at Xu Yan.
The dining room had a large round table, covered with a yellow embroidered tablecloth, reaching the floor, appearing luxurious.
As for why there was only one table, it was Master Cao’s rule to serve only one table per day.
The dishes on the table were even more attractive, "colors" full of fragrance, the vegetables looking more vibrant, and the pastries were variously appealing.
"Mayor Zhou, please take a seat."
Because Zhou Jiang held the highest position, he took a seat first and everyone else followed. Xu Yan deliberately sat next to Cao Siyu.
Cao Siyu saw Xu Yan sitting beside him. The deer crashed into him, making him feel very uncomfortable.
"Co on, gentlen, it’s fate to know each other. To your cheers."
