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

"Everyone, everyone."

"Don't be impulsive. In fact, I had already reserved Xiao Xu's painting before I came here."

Chu Zhengchen finally squeezed into the first row, and then immediately took the calligraphy that Xu Yi had just written as his own.

Seeing this, other people angrily rebuked:

"Old Chu, what are you doing?"

"What do you mean you made a reservation before you came?"

"My little brother decided to write on the spur of the moment. Did you consult a fortune teller before coming here?"

"Everyone bids, and the one with the highest price gets it!"

"Yes, yes."

Chu Zhengchen finally took over the calligraphy and said nonchalantly: "Whoever pays the highest price will get it. Xiao Xu didn't say that he wanted to sell it! You are buying this by force. Xiao Xu, you said it yourself, this calligraphy is for sale. Or should you leave it here first?"

What else could Xu Yi say? He could only say:
"Then Uncle Chu will make the decision."

After all, he was brought here by Chu Zhengchen, so this face should be given to Chu Zhengchen.

But what Xu Yi didn't expect was that a piece of calligraphy written by himself could be sold at such a high price?

If you can't survive in the future and have no money to use, wouldn't you be able to make a living by selling calligraphy?
Ok……

The all-around craftsman brother is quite reliable sometimes.

After Chu Zhengchen received Xu Yi's positive answer, he immediately put the words away without even looking at them. He was extremely proud of himself: "Haha, today's event is a big harvest, a big harvest!"

There was an old man who couldn't see it, and encouraged Xu Yi:
"Brother Xu, how about you write another one, and I'll pay the deposit first."

"Old man, today is mainly about your communication. I'm here to observe and learn. I was just held up by Mr. Wang, and he made a few strokes casually, and asked Uncle Chu to put it away. Now I don't dare to write anymore."

Xu Yi politely refused.

No matter what it is, once it becomes widespread, it is worthless.

Xu Yi knew this well.

Seeing that Xu Yi stopped writing, some old men who had not had time to appreciate Xu Yi's handwriting began to point their fingers at Chu Zhengchen: "Old Chu, we won't compete with you about the handwriting. But you can show it to everyone." Want to take a look?"

"Isn't it a bit outrageous for you to hide like this?"

Chu Zhengchen stared at everyone cautiously, and then said: "It's an agreement, if anyone tries to rob me, I will fight with him!"

He seemed to be guarding a treasure, his eyes never leaving.

Only then did many old men gather around.

After reading Xu Yi's words, Zhao Yongfu said sincerely:
"The next generation is to be feared! The next generation is to be feared!"

"Brother Xu's calligraphy is far better than mine. He is right, I still have room for improvement. From today on, I will practice calligraphy behind closed doors. If I don't practice to my satisfaction, I will never write in front of others."

If we talk about the calligraphy of Wang Chuan and Zhao Yongfu, they are still imitating the ancient style.

So Xu Yi's calligraphy has been integrated with the ancient style, and it has its own style.

We are all people who know the goods, otherwise we would not have bid one million just now.

After everyone had finished admiring it, Chu Zhengchen carefully put the calligraphy away again.

Baby!
Maybe this thing can be passed down from family to family.

Because of Xu Yi's episode, the rest of the event was somewhat overshadowed. When the show was over, Chu Zhengchen invited Xu Yi to his home for dinner. No matter how Xu Yi declined, he just refused to let him go.

Rice is a must.

Otherwise, we, Lao Chu, would not feel at ease with this calligraphy!
Xu Yi had no choice but to take a look at the Xishan Villa Community.

But this time, it was obviously different from the previous two times. While on the way, Chu Zhengchen called home and asked Liu Xiumei to prepare a good dinner, saying that he had an important guest.

Xu Yi: We are already so familiar. If you flirt with Auntie like this, I won’t be holding you back for a while!
When she arrived home, Liu Xiumei was busy in the kitchen. Chu Ningning also came back early today to help in the kitchen. When Liu Xiumei heard the sound of the door opening, she came out to see where the distinguished guest was.

When he saw it was Xu Yi, he was stunned:

"Old Chu, didn't you say there were distinguished guests tonight?"

Chu Zhengchen said eloquently: "Xiao Xu is a distinguished guest in our family!"

"Xiao Xu is one of our own, not a guest." Liu Xiumei had a different view and directly assigned Xu Yi to her own camp.

She has always been satisfied with Xu Yi.

This young man is motivated, talented, and able to make his way in the entertainment industry without relying on anyone. Young people with this kind of ability and temperament are now rare.

Just listen to Chu Zhengchen continue:

"Can't one of our own be a distinguished guest?"

"Okay, you go prepare dinner quickly, I'll chat with Xiao Xu."

Liu Xiumei entered the kitchen muttering, and heard Chu Ningning ask: "Mom, who did my dad bring back?"

Seeing Chu Ningning, Liu Xiumei immediately smiled brightly and said:

"It's just Xiao Xu."

"Ning Ning, wash your hands and stop wandering around here. I can do it alone."

"You go out and talk to Xiao Xu."

"Your dad is already this age, what's there to talk about with Xiao Xu?"

When Chu Ningning heard this, she felt helpless.

I don't know what kind of ecstasy soup Xu Yi poured into Lao Chu, but he actually made Lao Chu treat him as a distinguished guest.

"Mom, I won't go out, right?"

"Go, go, go, you are here, just causing trouble for me."

Chu Ningning:? ? ?

That's not what you said just now. You even praised me for my ability! Why did the wind direction change in the blink of an eye, and I became the one causing trouble? You are being unreasonable, Mom!

Chu Ningning was stunned when she was pushed out of the kitchen by Liu Xiumei.

She walked to the living room and said hello:
"Hi, you're here?"

Xu Yi: "Yeah."

"Ningning, go and make a pot of tea. Just take the tea leaves from the third compartment of my bookcase." Chu Zhengchen told Chu Ningning to work.

But Chu Ningning said in surprise:

"Lao Chu, didn't you say you wouldn't let anyone drink the tea in the third box?"

"Why does the sun come out from the west today?"

Chu Zhengchen said with a straight face: "If you are asked to go, you will go. How can you talk so much?"

After sending Chu Ningning away, Chu Zhengchen said:
"Xiao Xu, I really made a mistake this time."

"I really didn't expect that you are not only knowledgeable in calligraphy, but also highly accomplished in calligraphy! Can you tell Uncle Chu who you studied under?"

In Chu Zhengchen's opinion, if Xu Yi could achieve such calligraphy attainments at such a young age, then this master must be very human. He has been in the calligraphy circle in the capital for a long time, but he has never heard of anyone with such a high ability.

Xu Yi was praised a lot by Chu Zhengchen, and he said a little embarrassedly:

"Uncle Chu, actually I am self-taught in calligraphy."

"Maybe it's because I have a better understanding, so I'm familiar with many writing methods, but in terms of calligraphy accumulation, I am definitely far inferior to Uncle Chu."

"Don't be modest!" Chu Zhengchen shook his head, "What accumulation? With my three-legged cat skills, if I give it to them, they may not accept it, let alone sell it for money." "It's not like you. Just a few strokes and it's a million!"

As soon as he said this, Chu Ningning came over with a teapot and asked casually: "What one million?"

"You don't know yet, right?"

Speaking of this, Chu Zhengchen took out the calligraphy written by Xu Yi in East Lake Square from the briefcase on the side, and then spread it out and laid it out.

He cleared away everything on the coffee table, leaving this painting alone on the coffee table.

Then he said to Chu Ningning:
"For this piece of calligraphy, an old man offered me one million. That's not all. If I hadn't been quick, I guess the price could have gone up even more."

Chu Ningning didn't know much about calligraphy and said in surprise:

"one million?"

"Is this word so valuable? Is it an antique?"

"What an antique!" Chu Zhengchen said with a smile: "This word was written today. You don't know calligraphy, so you don't know the value of this word, but the vision of old men is poisonous."

Chu Ningning shook her head and then asked:

"So Lao Chu, you spent one million to buy this calligraphy?"

"hey-hey……"

Speaking of this, Chu Zhengchen became even more proud: "I didn't spend a penny on your father, and he even brought it home. How about it, right?"

With that said, Chu Zhengchen briefly told Chu Ningning what happened in East Lake Square today.

Chu Ningning was surprised when she heard this, and then looked at Xu Yi, puzzled.

Isn’t this too incredible?
Xu Yi is a star in the entertainment industry. He is similar to himself in age. He is already an amazing talent if he can make achievements in music. Now he can actually do calligraphy, and other people have to spend a million to buy the words he writes casually?

Still can’t buy it?

Is this...is this world crazy?

"Don't listen to Uncle Chu's exaggeration. It's actually nothing." Seeing Chu Ningning's expression, Xu Yi knew that the child must be quite surprised, so he said modestly: "This is just a coincidence. If you talk about painting, I don’t know anything about it.”

Unexpectedly, Chu Zhengchen did not agree with Xu Yi's statement:

"What exaggeration?"

"It's not an exaggeration at all, okay? Who are those old men? They are all very mature. Xiao Xu, I tell you, you have to be more careful in the future. Maybe at some point, they will come to your door and ask for help. Please ask for words."

Xu Yi was surprised: "Isn't that true?"

"It's so serious!" Chu Zhengchen seemed to have seen through everything and said: "The calligraphy you wrote today is only a few feet long, but they dare to bid one million. I wonder how they will get close to you later!"

"Anyway, you listen to me on this matter, it's absolutely right."

Xu Yi had no choice but to agree verbally.

Not long after, Liu Xiumei announced that the meal was about to begin. Unlike the last time when she had dinner, Chu Zhengchen was too enthusiastic about Xu Yi. The dishes were piled in front of Xu Yi. If Xu Yi was slow to eat, he would Chu Zhengchen said it was not to his taste.

Therefore, Xu Yi had no choice but to eat as hard as he could.

This was probably the most full meal Xu Yi had ever had at Chu Ningning's house. He was so full that he couldn't hold anything in after eating.

"Uncle Chu, Aunt Liu, I have something to deal with tonight, so I won't bother you any more."

"Okay, busy with you. By the way, Ning Ning, give Xiao Xu a gift."

"No, no, no, I know the way, I can just go out on my own."

"How about that? Ning Ning, give it a try."

This time it was Chu Zhengchen who spoke.

After the two of them left, Chu Zhengchen said to Liu Xiumei: "I think Xiao Xu is really a good kid. We Ning Ning would be a good match for him."

"Didn't you say before that it's wrong to be a misfit?" Liu Xiumei choked.

Chu Zhengchen was not ashamed at all, but said matter-of-factly:
“Before was before and now is now.”

"After observing and testing Xiao Xu these few times, I feel that this guy is reliable!"

"I just don't know if he has that intention for our Ningning."

Hearing this, Liu Xiumei immediately said proudly: "We would rather not be bad at all. If you hadn't stopped me, all the matchmakers in the capital would have been queued from their homes to outside the community."

"How can those dandy boys be worthy of my daughter?"

Chu Zhengchen looked upright.

While he emphasized the importance of being in the same household, he also blocked all the families who were in the same household from the door.

There is no way, the child is too disappointed.

No matter how well matched you are, it won't work!
Meeting Xu Yi made Chu Zhengchen change his mind a lot.

Seeing that her husband was relieved, Liu Xiumei couldn't help asking: "Old Chu, Xiao Xu has no parents. If we both think it's okay, I think it wouldn't be a bad thing to let Ning Ning take the initiative."

"That won't work, that won't work."

Although Chu Zhengchen admired Xu Yi, he could never accept his precious daughter chasing a man. Just listen to Chu Zhengchen say: "Let's follow the process. This kind of thing must be the man's initiative."

"If Xiao Xu has this intention, it would be the best."

"If he doesn't have this intention for the time being..."

"Then let's create more opportunities for them to get along. As they get along for a long time, the relationship will naturally heat up."

Liu Xiumei didn't say anything, but she said in her heart:

You don't want your daughter to take the initiative, but you are taking the initiative here!
But she didn't point it out.

In short, for the sake of the two children, parents should take the initiative.

……

Outside Xishan Villa.

After Chu Ningning sent Xu Yi out of the community, she said: "No matter what, you are still very powerful. I have never seen a young man who can impress Lao Chu."

"How can it be so exaggerated?" Xu Yi smiled.

Then he asked: "By the way, how is the new job?"

"It's okay, I'm adaptable."

"That's good. If there's any wind direction above, you have to ventilate it for me in time!"

Xu Yi made a joke.

Chu Ningning stared at Xu Yi and said deliberately: "As long as you don't frantically test the situation on the verge of breaking the law, no matter which direction the wind blows, it will definitely not blow over your head."

"Then it's not allowed. We definitely can't do anything illegal."

Xu Yi seemed to have remembered something again and asked Chu Ningning: "By the way, the main station is about to launch a new music variety show. If you are free, you can check it out to pass the time."

"The Voice of China?"

"You know it all?"

"No, I saw the filing by chance. What, you want to participate in this show?"

Xu Yi shrugged and replied: "No, I planned this show. Of course, although I will not participate, my contracted singers should participate. Maybe you can still hear my music by then."

Hearing this, Chu Ningning nodded and immediately agreed:
"Okay, you said so, then I will definitely read it." (End of Chapter)
