I started to become more self-disciplined at the age of 30

Chapter 100 99. Is that him? A calligraphy master? So young?
actually!

There are many people coming to Houhai Street every day, most of them are local Beijingers, and some are tourists from other places.

However, the bars on this street are mainly based on style, targeting a clientele such as the petty bourgeoisie and literary young people. They are not like the bar street in Sanlitun, which mainly features DJs, beauties and alcohol sales.

So, Wang Fei has been running a shop here for about two years, and has never seen so many people suddenly flocking in.

The petty bourgeoisie and the literary youth usually don’t hang out in groups or make a lot of noise, and most of them put on airs.

"Boss, is there still room?"

A group of people rushed in from the door and shouted towards the bar.

Wang Yang came to help today and acted as the boss. He responded loudly: "It's full. Let's go to the next door."

A group of people were unwilling to leave like this. They all heard the name of this bar in Jiang Chen's live broadcast room. This is a place where they can see Jiang Chen live, so they suggested: "Boss, can you add some seats? Just a seat outside the door, and we can sit outside."

You can sit outside...

It's raining today, so the bar has prepared a lot of chairs and benches. They are occasionally placed outside, but most of the time they are not used because people who come here generally don't like to sit outside. It would be like eating at a roadside stall, which is not in line with the bar's taste.

Now that someone has taken the initiative to propose it, Wang Yang greeted, "Okay, as long as you don't mind."

The young man hurriedly said loudly: "No, no, no."

Wang Yang asked several waiters to move the chairs, and then simply moved all the chairs and benches out. Then he went back to his sister Wang Fei and said, "Let's go. I'll go out and take a look."

Wang Fei shook her head. She was looking down at the video about Jiang Chen on the Internet. She was in shock and said softly, "I'm not going. You mean, such an awesome person is friends with Li Wen, and Li Wen and her band are accompanying Jiang Chen, and then they are traveling together?"

“Are you on your way to our store now?”

She read some ancient poems written by Jiang Chen and saw some familiar faces on them.

For example, Qin Hanming, Qin Xuerong, He Xianzhang, Huang Wenqing and others, she is familiar with them, and has met some of them in real life.

She knew that this was definitely not a fake character created by hype.

No one in the entertainment industry can invite these people to help promote their personalities, and it is even more impossible for anyone in the circle of internet celebrities to ask them to give up their dignity and tell lies.

and so!
This is absolutely true.

A talented middle-aged man named Jiang Chen really appeared, but she knew nothing about it.

Wang Yang looked at his sister and said with a smile, "Now you know how powerful he is, right?"

Wang Fei sternly rebuked: "Stop talking nonsense and answer my question."

Wang Yang shrank his neck and said, "Of course, didn't I tell you that he and Xiao Wen will be here soon? It will probably take no more than half an hour."

Wang Fei nodded, and looked at the poem "Drunk in the Flower Shade" written by Jiang Chen in the video again, and said softly: "This poem is almost entirely written from a female perspective. It is very well written."

Wang Yang: "That's absolutely amazing. Every single one of his works is amazing."

Wang Fei: "Go to the kitchen and ask Lao He to take out the best ingredients and old wine that are stored there."

Wang Yang shook his head: "Lao Jiang doesn't drink or smoke!"

Wang Fei turned to look at his brother: "You know so much?"

Wang Yang: "Yes, I have watched his live broadcast for a week recently, and also reviewed his previous live broadcast videos. He just turned 30, and has already started to stay healthy. He doesn't smoke, drink, or stay up late. He goes to bed at 10 o'clock and gets up at 6 o'clock! He is a bit like grandpa..."

Wang Fei was speechless after hearing this.

Is this a thirty-year-old?

She is also 30 years old and has developed an early to bed and early to rise pattern, but even if she goes to bed early, she will not go to bed until after 12 o'clock. How can she go to bed at 10 o'clock?
Buzz!
The phone rings.

Wang Fei picked it up and took a look. He was slightly startled. Lin Shuang's name was displayed on it. He answered the call curiously: "Professor Lin, do you want to talk to me suddenly?"

She and Lin Shuang have known each other since childhood. They are both talented girls in their respective fields. They are friends, but not very good friends.

This is the Beijing circle. Almost everyone in the upper circle knows each other. There are circles within circles, and in fact, each circle is not very big.

Lin Shuang smiled and said, "Oh, Professor Wang, please don't say that. Just call me by my full name. I have something to ask you. I want to bring some friends to your bar. Please save a table for me."

Wang Fei's eyes flickered. Thinking of what she had just found out, the Chinese Department of Peking University Shuimu had assigned homework about Jiang Chen's works, she knew the purpose of Lin Shuang's coming here and asked, "Do you want to come and see Jiang Chen?"

Lin Shuang smiled and said, "Yes, I know you are well-informed. I didn't expect that you could invite Jiang Chen to your store, Professor Wang, you are amazing!"

Wang Fei knew that Lin Shuang might have misunderstood something, but he didn't explain. He looked at the people sitting inside and outside and said, "Originally there were no seats left. It's packed inside and outside. But if you come, I'll give you the box I reserved."

Wang Fei has two private rooms reserved all year round. They are usually not used. Even if the room is full, she will not let anyone in. This is to reserve them for acquaintances, elders who come suddenly, or friends she invites for dinner.

Now is the right time to use it. Wang Fei asked, "Who else is coming? You are definitely not the only one, right?"

Lin Shuang: "There is also our Lao Huang, Lao Huang from Lao Huang's family, Professor Zhang, and Li Wenjun, you should know them all!"

Wang Fei was stunned for a moment, and thought for a second: "Director Huang Bo? And Director Huang's father, Mr. Huang Wenqing? Professor Zhang Shuwen?"

These people are all well-known and authoritative figures in the circle of Chinese studies.

As for Li Wenjun, he is also a genius of the younger generation, and has an amazing appearance and temperament. Wang Fei has also seen him.

Lin Shuang: "Yes, you guessed it."

Wang Fei: "You often talk nonsense like this, I'm used to it. When will you arrive? I'll have someone prepare food and drinks for you."

Lin Shuang: "Hehe, we are on the way now and will be there soon."

Wang Fei: "Okay, be careful on the road."

hang up the phone.

There was a flash of shock in Wang Fei's eyes.

Although she was shocked by the video about Jiang Chen on the Internet just now.

However, she did not expect that Huang Bo, the director of the Chinese Department of Peking University, and his father, Mr. Huang Wenqing, one of the top calligraphers in the country, would come to see Jiang Chen in person.

This further illustrates that Jiang Chen's position in the domestic literary world at this time is absolutely unique.

but.

Before she had even recovered from her shock, the phone rang again. The name on the phone was Dad. She answered the call out of curiosity: "Dad?"

Wang Xuefeng's urgent voice came from the phone: "Fei Fei, I heard that Jiang Chen is going to your store?"

amount……

Dad is doing this for Jiang Chen too?

Wang Fei's father, Wang Xuefeng, is a professor in the Chinese Department of Shuimu University, and her mother works at the Central Conservatory of Music. Her family has a long history of scholarship and was a standard scholarly family in ancient times, and a top-notch scholarly family.

Wang Fei agreed: "Yes, it was arranged by my brother. We will be here soon. We will just come here for a simple meal and then leave."

Wang Xuefeng: "Okay, please reserve a private room for me. I will come with a few friends to meet Jiang Chen."

Wang Fei: "Dad, Lin Shuang has also booked a private room. She brought Director Huang and Director Huang's father, Mr. Huang Wenqing, to meet Jiang Chen. They are already on their way."

Wang Xuefeng: "Okay, I get it. We are leaving too! Old Huang is faster than us this time. Feifei, how about this? You ask them to go back and say there is no room."

Wang Fei said helplessly: "Dad, I promised Lin Shuang first."

Wang Xuefeng sighed: "Okay, I'll be there right away!" and hung up the phone!

Wang Yang beside him said with emotion: "With Jiang Chen's arrival in Beijing, it feels like the entire academic circle in Beijing is no longer peaceful. The only calligraphy master in the country, whose literary talent is unmatched, it would be strange if the two universities didn't scramble for him."

Wang Fei nodded, and a hint of anticipation flashed in his eyes.

What kind of person is Jiang Chen who can attract the attention of the two best universities in Beijing and even in the whole country?

At this moment, the piano sound in the middle stopped.

The doll-like blonde girl came down and sat down next to Wang Fei. She smiled and said, "Professor Wang, how was my performance of this piece?"

Wang Fei praised truthfully: "Very good, your playing skills have reached perfection! When you reach my age, you will definitely be better than me."

Wang Yang asked curiously: "Sophia, with your ability, you don't need to come to China as an exchange student, right?"

The Central Conservatory of Music is definitely the leader among classical music schools in China, the undisputed leader.

However, it is only ranked among the top 50 in the world.

There are more than forty famous classical music schools in the world that rank higher than the Central Conservatory of Music!

Sophia is a talented student at one of the top three classical music schools in the world. Her talent is absolutely world-class. It stands to reason that it is impossible for her to come to China as an exchange student. If she wants to go, she should go to one of the top ten schools in the world, so that she can make progress.

Among all the exchange students from Europe and America that CAFA has accepted in the past decade or so, Sophia has the strongest ability and talent. The exchange students who came to CAFA before were relatively ordinary students with relatively low upper limits.

Sophia took a sip of water and spoke fluent Chinese: "You should know from the fact that I speak Chinese so well that I have loved your Chinese culture since I was a child. When I went to college, I wanted to go directly to your Central Conservatory of Music, but my mother did not allow it. So I could only come to China as an exchange student to study for two years and experience the cultural heritage here."

"I have to say that China's cultural heritage did not disappoint me. It is not at all as chaotic and backward as the foreign media portrays it to be. It is very clean and safe. There are a lot of delicious food and many different cultural characteristics. The people here are very friendly and polite. This is simply a paradise."

"I'm thinking about applying to the school to stay. I don't want to go back."

Sophia's eyes were filled with joy and longing.

Wang Fei's eyebrows twitched, and he said, "If you want to stay, it's very simple. With your strength, talent, and status, I don't think Yangyin will reject you."

She knew that Sophia came from a noble family, had lived in a castle since she was a child, and had received the highest quality private one-on-one family education resources when she grew up. It was not until she took the college entrance examination that she entered a top university in the world for the first time. She was a very simple, talented, and noble-born girl.

If Sophia expressed her desire to stay, Yangyin would definitely help her solve all the procedural issues.

If Sophia says that she likes Chinese culture and wants to continue her studies in this area, then she can choose between Kyoto University and Mizuki University.

There was a gloom in Sophia's eyes: "My mother won't agree."

Wang Fei didn't dare to say much about this, but just said: "It all depends on your own wishes."

At this time, there was a noise outside.

"Old Jiang is here."

"Wow……"

“Finally I saw Lao Jiang in person.”

"Old Jiang, Beijing welcomes you."

"Mr. Jiang, I'm treating you today..."

……

Wang Yang listened carefully and knew that it was Jiang Chen who came, and hurriedly said, "Old Jiang is here!"

After saying that, Wang Yang walked out.

Wang Fei also hurriedly followed him out, knowing that Jiang Chen was the most important person today and could not be neglected.

Sophia was surprised when she saw this and asked, "Who is here?"

Wang Fei explained as they walked, "He is a very talented person. Don't you like Chinese calligraphy and ancient poetry? Then he will give you a surprise. You will know it by searching Jiang Chen on the Internet later! He has just become the latest calligraphy master in China, and the only calligraphy master in China now."

Sophia's big blue eyes widened.

She has been learning multiple languages ​​since she was young and is very familiar with Chinese. She started practicing calligraphy after coming to China and has only practiced for one year. Although she has average talent, she enjoys it and loves it very much. She has also memorized many excellent ancient Chinese poems and can be said to be a foreigner who is proficient in Chinese culture.

So, she knows very well what a master of calligraphy means.

There are only a handful of masters of Chinese calligraphy in the whole of China, and even in the whole world.

There is one in the neighboring island country and one in the new city in Southeast Asia!
Yes, on the surface, there are only these two. Maybe there are some masters who are not interested in fame and fortune in secret, but there will definitely not be more than two, and the total number will not exceed one.

The calligraphy master from the island country is actually a native of the island country. Although it is rumored that his ancestors were Chinese who went to study in China a hundred years ago, he is now also a genuine native of the island country.

Although the calligraphy master in Xincheng is also a genuine Chinese, he is no longer a Chinese citizen!
Therefore, China has not had a calligraphy master for more than ten years.

These two calligraphy masters who are still alive are already very old, one is 70 years old and the other is 72 years old. They may pass away at any time.

However, there are only these two calligraphy masters in these two Chinese cultural circles. The younger generation of calligraphers, like China, has also lost its heritage.

and so!
Not only in China, but in the entire Chinese cultural circle, calligraphy masters are extremely rare.

Many people in the calligraphy world have predicted that after the two calligraphy masters, Daoguo and Xincheng, passed away, there might no longer be any Chinese calligraphy masters in the world.

But now...

A new calligraphy master has appeared in China?
Sophia's face was full of surprise. She had no idea about this. Her heart was full of surprise and anticipation. She immediately quickened her pace and followed Wang Fei out to see this master of calligraphy.

As soon as you walk out of the bar.

Several people immediately felt the lively atmosphere outside.

The entire Houhai Street was filled with people, as if it was a super star's concert. The atmosphere was explosive, everyone was very excited and cheering.

Not only Wang Fei's bar, but all the other bars had chairs and benches filled with people in front of them. Now all these people stood up, and the streets were full of people. Most of them were holding their phones and broadcasting live.

not far away!
A group of people walked over among the crowd.

Leading the group was a young man in simple casual clothes. He had an upright figure, steady and powerful steps, a handsome face, and a sunny and gentle temperament. Beside him followed five fairy-like women with different temperaments.

"Old Jiang is here!"

"Lao Jiang..."

"Old Jiang is so handsome..."

"Lao Jiang is even more handsome than in the live studio."

"Xiao Qingzi and the others are also better looking than those in the live studio."

"Lao Jiang..."

……

Wang Yang whispered, "Sister, that's Jiang Chen."

Wang Fei looked closely at Jiang Chen and agreed, "I know. I just watched his video! Besides, Xiao Wen is right next to us. I'm not blind. Let's go and greet him and have dinner in our backyard."

Wang Yang nodded: "Yes, I asked the kitchen to prepare the food, it should be ready by now."

Sophia blinked her big blue eyes and stared at Jiang Chen, feeling somewhat puzzled - was it him? A calligraphy master? So young?
