You are a star, why do you have all the skills from the underworld?

Seeing Xu Yi admit it in person, Chu Ningning was really surprised.

Based on her preferences, she may not be too interested in popular culture, but she is very interested in new things coming out of this tradition. When watching the first episode of "If National Treasure Could Talk", Chu Ningning was still thinking that this director was very unusual.

Unexpectedly, Xu Yi also contributed.

"Profit! It's really amazing!" Chu Ningning praised sincerely.

Chu Zhengchen, who was sitting aside and drinking tea quietly, saw the two of them chatting happily and couldn't help but interrupt: "Ning Ning, that documentary you are talking about was made by Xiao Xu?"

"Yup!"

Chu Ningning became interested and immediately gushed: "This documentary was jointly produced by the National Museum and the main station. It is a documentary about the historical relics related to our country. It is very well done and very popular among young people. "

Chu Zhengchen: "Oh?"

Xu Yi sat on the sofa, his eyes confused:

Why do you family chat like this?

Oh?

Ok?

"That's why I say Xu Yi is amazing!" Chu Ningning continued to praise, "I have always followed the documentary channel before. Most of the documentaries are narrative descriptions with narration and voice interpretation, so they are a bit boring. However, "If National Treasures Could Talk" is unique, really beautiful and vivid, and it is easy for people to take the initiative to understand the stories behind each cultural relic."

Xu Yi felt very comfortable listening.

Keep going, don't stop.

Chu Zhengchen nodded and said:

"Look for it later, and I'll take a look too."

Xu Yi: I hope you are not looking at it with a critical eye.

After this episode, when Chu Zhengchen looked at Xu Yi again, his eyes became softer. After all, being able to participate in the work of the National Museum is enough to show that the young man in front of him has not been affected by the impetuous and utilitarian atmosphere of the entertainment industry, but still maintains his innocence.

This is very rare.

How did Chu Zhengchen know that Xu Yi was at a dinner party and was in a hurry, so he had no choice but to take on such a job.

If we follow the normal process, the 30 yuan will be passed away at Fat Orange, and it will not be put in front of Xu Yi at all.

"Xiao Xu, how old are you this year?"

This is where the usual clichés begin.

Xu Yi was clear in his heart, but he had to answer honestly: "Twenty-four."

"I heard that you grew up in an orphanage. You must have suffered a lot over the years, right? Being able to survive it and achieve what you have now shows that you are a person who can do great things!"

Chu Zhengchen did not hesitate to praise.

But Xu Yi really couldn't bear the compliment of being able to do great things, so he quickly waved his hand and refused:

"No, I'm just lazy."

"If you ask me to do something small, there may be no problem. But if you ask me to do something big, I definitely won't be able to do it."

He is ready to lie down, what else can he do?

If it weren't for the establishment of Xu Yi Studio, Xu Yi might have settled down long ago, and he wouldn't have postponed his plan to settle down from twenty-four to thirty.

Chu Zhengchen smiled and said:

"Young man, don't be too humble."

"Xiao Xu, you haven't dated your girlfriend yet, right?"

Uh-huh? Lao Chu, what are you trying to do? Are you two so impatient to give your daughter away? In fact, with Chu Ningning's beauty, if she really wants to get married, the people queuing up will probably circle around these four-nine cities.

Xu Yi was unsure what Chu Zhengchen meant, so he had to answer:

"Not yet. At this stage, I still focus on my career."

"That's good." Chu Zhengchen couldn't tell whether he wanted to promote his daughter, and continued: "Young people should really work harder. Ning Ning will be transferred to the General Administration of Broadcasting next year, and you may have more jobs in the future. The more we interact, you are an artist, so if you have time, you should give more guidance to Ning Ning."

Xu Yi: "Huh? Oh, okay!"

Chu Ningning is going to be transferred to the General Administration of Broadcasting?

What kind of shocking news is this?

Doesn't she work in the anti-fraud department of the National Police? Isn't the span between the two departments a bit big?

But on this occasion, it was not easy for Xu Yi to ask Chu Ningning.

"Wash your hands quickly and get ready to eat!" Liu Xiumei's voice came from the kitchen.

It's another family dinner.

Xu Yi actually didn't want to stay for dinner, it was too restrictive. But it was already dinner time, and someone else had prepared a table of dishes. It seemed a bit impolite to leave at this time.

He walked to the sink and saw Chu Ningning following him, so he took the opportunity to ask:

"Director Chu, are you going to work at the General Administration of Broadcasting?"

Chu Ningning nodded: "Follow the organization's arrangements."

Why does it sound like you're still a little reluctant?

Xu Yi immediately flattered him:

"Then I hope Director Chu will take care of me in the future!"

"If you do evil and bring in private goods, don't expect me to give you the green light." Chu Ningning said seriously, "Besides, I don't have that much power. I'm just a small clerk under the General Administration."

Xu Yi didn’t see it that way:

"You will reach that position sooner or later, trust me."

With the Chu family's network resources and Lao Chu's management over the years, although it is not easy to send Chu Ningning up, it will definitely not be too difficult.

Chu Ningning didn't answer.

That's what it sounds like...

During the dinner, Liu Xiumei enthusiastically served Xu Yi some food and said that Xu Yi must come to her house for dinner often in the future.

Xu Yi couldn't let go.

He really didn't want to understand, what happened?

With his own background and status in the entertainment industry, it is definitely not enough to attract the favor of a behemoth like the Chu family. So, what is the problem? Where is Uncle Zhong? Or the National Museum?

Xu Yi couldn't guess.

I simply didn’t bother to guess.

The formal meal finally ended with a polite meal. Xu Yi didn't eat too much. It felt a bit like eating Western food with Meng Xiling before, just a small taste. Well, after going out for a while, I still have to find something to fill my stomach.

"Come on, come on, Xiao Xu, come over and drink tea."

After eating, Chu Zhengchen took Xu Yi to the tea room next to the restaurant. Although the Chu family's small villa looks small, the functional rooms inside are fully equipped. Except for a few places for entertainment, it can be said that everything else is available.

Xu Yi wanted to escape.

Even if he was staying with familiar elders, he felt uncomfortable; what's more, it would be even more uncomfortable if Chu Zhengchen was a completely unfamiliar elder.

"Do you usually drink tea?"

"a bit less."

"Drinking tea is good. Drinking tea keeps you healthy. Of course, milk tea does not count."

"Yes~" Xu Yi smiled.

Xu Yi doesn't know whether milk tea is good for health, but it is true that drinking too much will make you gain weight.

Chu Zhengchen tasted the product and suddenly asked:

"Xiao Xu, have you ever thought about working in an organization?" "Ah?"

In fact, Xu Yi already had the answer to this question.

However, he still pretended to think about it for a while, and then said: "Uncle Chu, I have thought about this issue before. But I gave up later. I am a lazy person, and I will probably run into obstacles when I join the organization. He doesn’t say anything about the work he’s doing well, and he offends people everywhere.”

"So, I'd better work on the areas I'm good at first."

Chu Zhengchen nodded when he heard this and said: "Well, your idea is right. If you can achieve success in your own field, you may not necessarily join an organization. However, you can consider taking a job or something."

"For example, if you go to a unit such as the National Repertory Theater or the Beijing Performing Arts Theater and take a job, you can still be regarded as half of the organization."

Xu Yi's heart moved.

This operation... is not impossible.

In this way, it is equivalent to having an official status, and it will be more convenient to do things in the future.

"Well, I will seriously consider it. Thank you Uncle Chu for your suggestion."

Xu Yi accepted it humbly.

It is a good thing to work in a national unit.

The two of them chatted intermittently about work, future, and career plans. Not long after, Chu Ningning came in with an invitation letter, knocked on the door, and said: "Old Chu, there is an invitation letter for you. He is a calligrapher." It was sent from the association.”

"Take it and take a look."

Chu Zhengchen seemed to be interested all of a sudden.

Only then did Xu Yi suddenly discover that there were several calligraphy works hanging on the walls of this tea room.

When he first came in, he thought it was just a decoration to cultivate one's moral character and cultivate one's sentiments. Now think about it, Chu Ningning's father is also a calligraphy enthusiast?

Chu Zhengchen opened the invitation, glanced at it, and then said cheerfully:

"On the 14th of next month, they are holding a calligraphy appreciation party and invited me to write a calligraphy."

"Haha, I made you laugh, Xiao Xu."

"Uncle Chu, I usually don't have any other hobbies. I just like to write a few random words. After all these years, I have gained some experience, and the words I write can still be read."

Xu Yi echoed: "These on the wall are also Uncle Chu's handwritings, right?"

"Yes!" Chu Zhengchen couldn't hide his pride, but he was extremely humble, "They are all daily practice works. If they are displayed, they will make people laugh, so I have to display them in my home to encourage myself to do the best. keep it up."

"I think it's well written."

Xu Yi complimented casually and perfunctorily.

From the moment he walked in, Lao Chu didn't hesitate to praise Xu Yi. As courtesy was reciprocated, Xu Yi finally returned some favors.

Anyway, nice words don’t cost money.

Unexpectedly, when Chu Zhengchen heard this, he immediately asked:

"Oh? Xiao Xu, you also know calligraphy?"

So what can I say? The master-level calligraphy skills that my friend acquired before have never been put to use! Who would have thought that it would be used on this occasion! Xu Yi said modestly:

"I just know a little bit about it."

"It's already great to know a little bit. Come and take a look. What do you think of my work?"

Chu Zhengchen pulled Xu Yi and walked to the calligraphy work hanging on the wall on the left.

Xu Yi knew it well.

At this time, you must not look at it with a critical eye, but with an appreciative eye.

He carefully looked at this work, and there was indeed something remarkable about it.

Of course, the flaws are also obvious.

Chu Zhengchen asked with some anticipation:

"How about it?"

"Well..." Xu Yi thought about his words again and said slowly: "This calligraphy...Uncle Chu, if I say something wrong, don't blame me. This calligraphy is sharp and sophisticated, especially in horizontal lines. There seems to be a bit of the Wei and Jin Dynasty legacy in the strokes of folding and rolling, which are very elegant."

"The only flaw is that there seems to be a break behind the word 'Yue', making the whole word a little less coherent."

Xu Yi finished briefly.

If you want to appear competent when you praise someone, you can't praise them all at once. In the praise, pointing out some trivial problems will make it appear that the praise is sincere and valuable.

As expected, after hearing Xu Yi's words, Chu Zhengchen had a smile on his face.

"you are right!"

"When I was writing this word, when I was writing the word 'Yue', an important phone call suddenly came, so I had to stop writing. I didn't expect that you could see this. Xiao Xu, you are indeed knowledgeable. Most people can’t see this.”

Xu Yi attributed his vision to luck:

"It just happened, it happened."

"If you ask me to say something else, I won't be able to say it."

"You're too modest!" Chu Zhengchen was in a good mood, "Come on, Xiao Xu, come and take a look at this picture again."

It is rare to meet a junior who understands the art of calligraphy. Chu Zhengchen will not let Xu Yi go so easily. Then you have to pull the sheep and pull out the wool hard. Xu Yi had no choice but to follow Chu Zhengchen to the calligraphy works on another wall.

This work is a banner work.

What he copied was a poem, wild and wild.

It's a pity that when Chu Zhengchen wrote, he still restrained himself and hid his edge in his strokes, which was slightly lacking.

"How's it going? Did you see anything?"

"Uncle Chu..." Xu Yi tried, "I guess the reason why you copied this poem at that time was because you wanted to express your ambition. But when you wrote it, you seemed to have some concerns, so the whole word looked like Some... feeling of hiding?"

“I don’t know if that’s right or not, but that’s my intuitive feeling.”

After hearing Xu Yi's words, Chu Zhengchen's eyes widened.

Absolutely amazing!

Why does this kid seem to have installed a surveillance camera in his study? The state and mental process when I wrote this painting are exactly the same as what Xu Yi said, without any discrepancy.

How can this be seen?

Even if Taishan, an older generation in the field of calligraphy, looks at it, he may not be able to see these things, right?

This doesn't even belong to calligraphy anymore, it belongs to being able to pinch and calculate.

Thinking of this, Chu Zhengchen couldn't help but ask:

"Xiao Xu, has Ning Ning told you about my writing before?"

Xu Yi didn't notice, shook his head and said: "No!"

Chu Zhengchen: "So you really relied on your own eyesight to see what happened when I wrote these words?"

Xu Yi nodded, pretending to be relaxed and said:

"Yes, I just told Uncle Chu that he still knows a little bit about calligraphy!"

"You know more than just a little bit?" Chu Zhengchen marveled, "With your eyesight and appreciation ability, you are more than enough to be a judge in professional calligraphy competitions. Yes, do you have time on the 14th next month? Yes. If so, I’ll take you to see it together.”

Xu Yi frowned: "Should..."

"Should there be? That means there is." Chu Zhengchen didn't even wait for Xu Yi to finish, and immediately made the decision: "In this case, I will pick you up on the 14th of next month, and the two of us will go to see this calligraphy appreciation party. Maybe there are some rare and orphan items that can be picked up and returned." (End of Chapter)
