As Secretary Zhang arrived at the familiar principal's office, as soon as he entered the door, he heard an impatient voice coming from behind the screen.
"Mr. Wei, I've been waiting for half an hour. Do you respect a young man so much?"
The voice is old, but loud and powerful.
But the key is that this is not Wei Hongshu's voice.
In other words, are there other guests in the principal's office
Immediately afterwards, Wei Hongshu's apologetic voice came out.
"Mr. Zeng, it's rare for you to come to our Bailu City. If you miss such talents, you may never see them again in this life."
"What kind of peerless genius is he? Is he as amazing as you say?"
While the two were discussing, Secretary Zhang had already led Ye Hong around the screen.
"Look, here it comes."
Wei Hongshu clapped his hands and waved to Ye Hong happily: "Our genius Ye Hong has finally arrived.
Come on, let me introduce you to a literary giant. "
Secretary Zhang saluted everyone and exited the inner room.
As Ye Hong walked towards the futon next to Wei Hongshu, he looked at the person opposite Wei Hongshu.
That was an old man about the same age as Wei Hongshu.
On his slightly dark, square face, his white eyebrows were raised upward, like a pair of sharp scimitars.
His sharp eyes swept around Ye Hong's body, as if he wanted to pierce through Ye Hong's body.
He has a broad frame and is wearing a black antique robe, sitting squarely on the futon.
Wei Hongshu and Wei Hongshu, who is wearing a white scribe's robe across from him, are like black and white evil spirits, each with his own merits.
Different from Wei Hongshu's elegance, this person's first impression on Ye Hong was that of a stern teacher.
"Ye Hong, this is my best friend for more than thirty years, the writer, calligrapher, and litterateur [Zeng Taoyin] Zeng Gong from Anchang Province."
The series of titles surprised Ye Hong.
An Trang Province is located next to Zhongyuan Province and has been the cultural center of Yanguo since ancient times.
Since then, countless literary celebrities have emerged.
Ye Hong had also heard about Zeng Taoyin.
I mainly learned about it from Fu Huaiyong’s mouth.
Fu Huaiyong loved calligraphy. Before Ye Hong left Anming County and came to Bailu City to develop, he gave Ye Hong a pen with the four characters "Strive for Excellence".
That calligraphy is still hung in the hall of Tianhe Garden by Ye Hong.
Almost no one recognized the guests who usually visited Ye Hong's house.
But if they recognized it, they might be frightened and faint on the spot.
The calligrapher Fu Huaiyong most admires in the contemporary calligraphy world is Zeng Taoyin, the calligrapher Zeng Feng from An Chang Province.
In the literary world, Zeng Taoyin has written many literary masterpieces.
But his literary achievements and his calligraphy achievements must be far inferior.
Zeng Taoyin had an eccentric temper and had a strange habit of destroying written words on the spot.
Therefore, there were very few calligraphy works left by Zeng Taoyin at that time.
This also makes his works more and more valuable.
At the same time, Zeng Taoyin was withdrawn and did not like to communicate with others.
I don’t know how many dignitaries, wealthy businessmen wanted to ask Zeng Taoyin to write inscriptions, but they were rejected.
Gradually, Zeng Taoyin's words became difficult to find.
Ye Hong runs the world's largest underground black market, Haishi, and has seen people selling Zeng Taoyin's calligraphy works.
However, after his discerning appraisal, they were all fakes.
But even so, it was still priced at a high price and attracted many buyers, which shows how popular Zeng Taoyin's calligraphy is.
