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

Chapter 112 111. Stay in Beijing? Sorry, I want to see the world! And there are performances!
Han Qing has started the live broadcast.

This time point is already the peak traffic period.

Hundreds of thousands of viewers instantly flooded into the live broadcast room, and then in the blink of an eye the number exceeded 200,000. Then in less than half a minute, the number exceeded 300,000 again, and the growth rate began to slow down.

It seems that these more than 300,000 viewers have become Jiang Chen’s die-hard fans. Every time the show starts, they will immediately flock to the live broadcast room as long as they have time.

The barrage of comments in the live broadcast room exploded.

"I listened to One Night inBJ for a whole day. I think it sounds good no matter how I listen to it. I like it. Lao Jiang is awesome."

"Lao Jiang, are there any performances today?"

"Houhai has become a can, crowded with people, there is no place to stay, I can only watch the live broadcast among the crowd outside."

"Old Jiang seems to have spent quite a long time in Beijing, why don't you live there?"

"Old Jiang, come to my great Chang'an. Chang'an is more fun than the capital."

"Come to the Northeast. Our great Northeast is fun too."

“Come to the northwest to see the desert!”

……

Han Qing started the live broadcast and ignored it. She followed Jiang Chen through the crowd with her phone in hand and came to the backyard.

When Jiang Chen arrived, the food started to be served.

Wang Fei and Li Wenjun once again wore aprons and served the dishes themselves.

Li Wenbin was originally sitting, but when he saw Jiang Chen coming, he stood up, extended his hand to Jiang Chen, and said with a smile: "Jiang Chen, hello! I met you this morning. Let's get to know each other again. My name is Li Wenbin, Li Wenjun's brother."

Jiang Chen nodded, shook hands with Li Wenbin, and smiled back: "Hello, Jiang Chen."

Li Wenbin looked at Jiang Chen and found that Jiang Chen was just like he was in the morning, always calm and composed. Maybe this was the reason why he could become a master of calligraphy and write so many poems that would become masterpieces throughout the ages?

After learning about Jiang Chen's detailed information, Jiang Chen's image in Li Wenbin's mind became much more prominent.

There have been few such master-level geniuses throughout the ages.

Li Wenbin smiled and said, "Please take a seat. Did you enjoy your trip to Beijing?"

Jiang Chen: "It's OK. The capital is indeed very prosperous, not inferior to the Magic City. It also has a rich historical heritage and many scenic spots."

Li Wenbin nodded: "That's right. In terms of economic prosperity, our capital may be a little bit behind Shanghai. However, in terms of historical heritage, there are few places in the whole of China that can compare with Beijing. I heard that you still live in a hotel? That won't work. How about this. I have two empty courtyards next to me. Usually, someone cleans and tidies them up, but no one lives there. Why don't you choose one and move in?"

"You came to our place to play, and we let you stay in a hotel. That means we didn't treat you well!"

After hearing this, Jiang Chen could only sigh that the other person was rich.

Siheyuan are built in groups of several units. They cannot be left empty and need cleaning and maintenance. The maintenance cost alone can bankrupt an average family every year.

Therefore, even if those top-notch luxury cars and mansions are given to ordinary people for use, most people cannot afford them, and the maintenance costs are beyond their ability to bear.

Therefore, Jiang Chen has not thought about buying a car or a house yet, even though he has tens of millions of dollars in his card and is just sitting there doing nothing.

He does not have high material demands for these external things. When he wants to settle down in the future, he just wants a place to live and a car to travel. He does not necessarily need a luxury house or a luxury car.

Hearing Li Wenbin's words, Li Wenjun looked at Jiang Chen expectantly.

Because Li Wenbin's two empty courtyards were also next door. If Jiang Chen moved in, he would be her next-door neighbor.

Jiang Chen shook his head and said, "No, thank you, Mr. Li. I don't plan to stay in Beijing for long, so two days in the hotel will be enough."

Don't want to stay long?
Just two days?
Wang Fei and Li Wenjun, who were serving the dishes, paused at the same time and looked at Jiang Chen in surprise. They felt reluctant and uncomfortable, as if they had lost something most important.

Jiang Chen means that he is leaving soon?
Many local Beijing viewers in the live broadcast room were also shocked.

"Old Jiang is leaving soon? Don't go. I haven't seen your live performance yet. Wait for me. I will go to Houhai to wait for you at midnight tonight."

"Old Jiang, can't the capital keep you? Why don't you take a look at the two beauties serving you food? This is the first time I've seen such beauties in my life. They personally serve you food, but you turn a blind eye? Even such beauties can't keep you, Old Jiang, do you like men?"

"Old Jiang, the capital needs you!"

"Old Jiang, don't go..."

……

Wang Yang couldn't wait to say, "Jiang Chen, no, Brother Jiang! Don't leave. You've only been here for two days and have only visited the Forbidden City and the Great Wall. There are still many good places in our capital. If you visit one place a day, it will take at least ten days or half a month to get a general idea. If you want to visit carefully and eat some delicious food everywhere, it will take several months."

Li Wenbin asked: "Jiang Chen, is it my sister and Wang Fei who failed to entertain me well?"

Jiang Chen glanced at Wang Fei and Li Wenjun, shook his head hastily, and said with a slight wry smile: "Of course not, you are all very enthusiastic, so enthusiastic that I can hardly bear it."

The dishes are served.

The dishes are all Jiang Chen’s favorites, and they tend to be light and healthy.

Wang Fei sat down and said softly, "Many people wanted to visit you these past two days, but my father and I turned them down for you. We know you don't like being surrounded by so many people. We all hope that you can live comfortably here, stay longer, and preferably stay."

Li Wenjun nodded and said, "Yes. In the past few days, people from the Beijing Calligraphy Association, the Writers Association, as well as Beijing University, Shuimu University, Central Conservatory of Music, Renmin University, and other major universities all want to meet you and invite you to participate in their activities. For the time being, we have helped you decline and put down the request."

Jiang Chen was stunned for a moment, then said: "Thank you, to be honest, I am really afraid of these trivial matters! Fortunately, you helped me to block them."

At the same time, Jiang Chen became more determined to leave the capital as soon as possible.

This is the cultural center of China. He is now the only master of calligraphy in China and has written so many excellent ancient poems. Here he is like a bright light in the dark night sky. People around him want to see him!
If he really settled in the capital, he would sooner or later be involved in the social activities of various associations and schools...

and so!
Jiang Chen no longer had any intention of settling down in the capital.

Han Qing, Pu Yuexi, Chen Xiaojia, Li Wen, and Wang Jing all sat down to eat. None of them spoke. No matter what decision Jiang Chen made, they would just support him. Moreover, they believed that with Jiang Chen's personality, it would be impossible for him to stay in one place for a long time.

Wang Fei said in a positive tone: "You're welcome. Don't worry, we will help you turn down these things and won't let you worry about these social engagements."

Jiang Chen ate his food and said softly, "Thank you for thinking of me so much. But I still have to say sorry. I just came out of the Magic City and it has only been a few days. I still have many places I want to visit!"

Li Wenbin: "It's the same even if you stay a few more days before leaving!"

Jiang Chen stopped talking and just ate quietly.

In the box next to them, Yang Wenjie, Huang Bo and several other people from the two universities were eating while looking at Jiang Chen and his friends outside through the window. When they heard that Jiang Chen was about to leave, they all felt reluctant and depressed.

Now the only calligraphy master in China just passed away from them...

They always feel very unwilling.

If possible, they really wanted to kidnap Jiang Chen and keep him in Beijing and not let him leave.

Huang Wenqing ate his food while whispering, "This is probably why he can become a master. He has his own persistence and ideals. He is not affected by money, nor is he tempted by beauty."

After hearing this, several people were speechless and felt a little ashamed.

If they put themselves in Jiang Chen's shoes, they would realize that if they were in his position, they might not be able to make such a firm decision.

Don’t say anything else!

It was just Wang Fei and Li Wenjun who prevented the others from leaving. They were simply unable to resist such a beauty trap.

However, Jiang Chen could just ignore the two of them and leave without hesitation.

They all had to admire this. Zhang Shuwen said: "Jiang Chen is a true scholar, and he will definitely publish a masterpiece in the future."

Yang Wenjie, Huang Bo, and Wang Xuefeng all nodded in agreement after hearing this.

They saw in Jiang Chen all the spirit and qualities of a great writer.

And in another private room.

Li Zheng was having dinner with two middle-aged men.

Both of them were quite respectful towards Li Zheng.

One of the middle-aged men said to Li Zheng, "Mr. Li, there are too many collectors who want to buy Jiang Chen's works. I have received many offers. As long as we can buy it, we will be given a commission of 2 million. I didn't dare to accept it. Last time in Mount Tai, the colleague who wanted to buy Wangyue offered more than 20 million but failed. In the end, he paid the employer a penalty of 1 million."

These two middle-aged men are both intermediaries who specialize in buying and selling items for collectors.

Li Zheng hopes to hire them to buy Jiang Chen's works.

However, the middle-aged man in the lead had no choice but to refuse.

They were also jealous of the huge commission, but Jiang Chen refused to sell it.

Li Zheng smiled and said, "I don't want any liquidated damages. When you buy it, come to me. The commission is three million, and there is no liquidated damages!"

When they heard this, their eyes lit up.

If there is no penalty for breach of contract, they would dare to take it. After all, there is no loss in giving it a try. If it succeeds, they can earn a commission of three million.

The middle-aged man in the lead said, "Okay, let's give it a try. Is there any work that Mr. Li particularly wants?"

Li Zheng looked at the other party and said, "Haha, can you customize it? Which one of the paintings I want can you buy? Then I want the painting of Wang Yue and Lang Tao Sha Ling. Either of the two paintings will do, and the price must not exceed 40 million."

The last time I saw it in Jiang Chen’s live broadcast room, someone offered more than 20 million for Jiang Chen’s Wangyue on Mount Tai. Li Zheng knew that if he wanted to buy Jiang Chen’s work, 20 or 30 million would definitely not be enough, so he gave a budget of 40 million.

Spending 40 million to buy a young man’s work is truly a sky-high price!

After hearing this, the two middle-aged men also agreed with the price. This was a price negotiated by many intermediaries in the collection industry, and it might be able to impress Jiang Chen.

but……

Li Zheng wanted the painting Wang Yue or Lang Tao Sha Ling, which made them smile bitterly.

These are Jiang Chen’s two representative works. If they can really be put on the market, the price will definitely go sky-high, and even 40 million may not be enough to stop them.

The middle-aged man shook his head and said, "Mr. Li, you are joking. We can only try to contact Jiang Chen. We are not sure whether we can buy any of the works. If he is willing to sell, we will try our best to buy Wangyue and Langtaoshaling."

Li Zheng nodded: "Okay, then I'll leave this matter to you."

"it is good!"

The two of them nodded in agreement at the same time, and prepared to follow Jiang Chen for the next period of time, find ways to contact Jiang Chen, and try to buy works from Jiang Chen. If they can convince Jiang Chen to hand over the works to them for operation and sale, then they will be rich.

Li Zheng picked up the wine glass and took a sip, then glanced at Jiang Chen outside, then glanced at Li Wenbin, muttering in his heart - the Li family was willing to spend money to give such an outstanding daughter to Jiang Chen.

However, Li Zheng changed his mind and thought that if he had an outstanding daughter or granddaughter, he would definitely try to get in touch with Jiang Chen.

Since ancient times, businessmen have tried to become members of scholarly families so that they can enter the upper class of society.

It is still the same today!
Li Wenbin's family and Li Zheng's family are both wealthy families, but their cultural heritage is a little lacking.

Although Li Wenbin's family has some background in the capital and is a native of the capital, they are not a family of scholars like Wang Fei's family and Huang Bo's family.

Therefore, in order to increase the cultural heritage of the family, they have been studying with masters of Chinese studies since childhood and have established good relationships with many masters of Chinese studies in the Beijing circle.

The girls Li Wenbin dated all came from scholarly families. He once wanted to marry Wang Fei, but was unfortunately ignored by Wang Fei.

Now if Li Wenjun can be with Jiang Chen, then Jiang Chen, the only calligraphy master from a grassroots background, will become the representative figure of the Li family in the cultural field.

Then the status and level of the entire Li family in the Beijing circle will be different.

If Jiang Chen achieves greater success in the future, the entire Li family will also benefit, and it is not impossible for them to become a top scholarly family. Coupled with the wealth in their hands, it is possible for them to become the top family in the entire China.

If Li Zheng had such an opportunity, he would not refuse it, even if it meant sacrificing the happiness of his descendants of the Li family.

Unfortunately……

Li Zheng had just heard that Jiang Chen would not stay in the capital and would leave in the next two days, which meant that neither Li Wenjun nor Wang Fei could get Jiang Chen to stay for them.

"The beauty trap has no effect on Jiang Chen, and Jiang Chen doesn't care that much about money, so what does Jiang Chen like?"

Li Zheng was thinking in his heart.

……

Jiang Chen had a simple meal in the courtyard, only eating until he was 50% full. It is not advisable to eat too much for dinner.

Wang Fei, Li Wenjun and Wang Yang were all in low spirits because they knew Jiang Chen was about to leave.

Wang Fei and Li Wenjun had their own thoughts, so they were reluctant to let Jiang Chen leave, and Wang Yang just wanted to continue performing with Jiang Chen, so he was reluctant to let Jiang Chen leave. Performing with Jiang Chen made him feel the charm of music and the atmosphere of the scene.

Seeing that Jiang Chen was determined to leave, Li Wenbin didn't say much. He just sighed slightly and glanced at his sister. This was the first time his sister took the initiative towards a man at her age, but she was ignored.

He knew the reason why his parents did not take any action and allowed Li Wenjun to get close to Jiang Chen. After he got to know Jiang Chen clearly, he also supported this.

If Jiang Chen really got together with Li Wenjun, he would be willing to give these three courtyard houses as a dowry...

From now on, whatever Jiang Chen needs, he will help him get it done immediately.

Unfortunately!
Li Wenbin felt a little regretful.

Seeing that Jiang Chen had stopped eating, Wang Yang quickly finished his rice and said to Jiang Chen with shining eyes: "Jiang Chen, are there any performances tonight?"

Several people looked at Jiang Chen.

Pu Yuexi, Chen Xiaojia, Li Wen, and Wang Jing all looked at Jiang Chen with great anticipation. What they enjoyed most was performing live with Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen took a sip of tea and said without thinking or hesitation, "There is a performance!"

Jiang Chen wanted to take out all the excellent works from parallel worlds in his memory and show them to everyone.

Therefore, if there is an opportunity to show and perform, Jiang Chen will not refuse.

Wang Yang immediately jumped up excitedly: "Hahaha, great! I'll go clean up the venue and prepare things."

Chen Xiaojia also smiled and said, "Let's go too!"

Pu Yuexi, Chen Xiaojia, Wang Jing, Li Wen and others followed Wang Yang out to clean up the venue and prepare equipment and musical instruments.

Li Wenbin smiled and said, "I'm lucky today, I can see Jiang Chen's live performance. It's a pity that I missed the One Night in BJ live performance last night. I watched the video more than ten times today, it was amazing."

Jiang Chen smiled modestly and said, "Thank you..."

It's getting lively outside.

As soon as Wang Yang, Chen Xiaojia, Pu Yuexi, Wang Jing, and Li Wen went out and started to clean up the venue and move the musical instruments and equipment, everyone knew what was going to happen and cooperated very well.

A space was cleared at the entrance of the bar to be used as a stage.
