A song from Chengdu revived a closed-down pub.

Su Fan and the "Preface to the Orchid Pavilion" are still trending on social media.

Therefore, as soon as Yang Chunsheng posted this Weibo post, it instantly ignited the comment section.

"I have a question. The one next to Su Fan is Chairman Yang, but who is that other old gentleman? He certainly has an extraordinary air about him!"

"That old gentleman is the former president of the calligraphy association, President Yang's old boss. He retired many years ago and rarely appears in public!"

"What?! The former president?! Good heavens, he was a titan in the calligraphy world! My mentor spoke of him with utmost respect!"

"My God, this is incredible! A former president of the Calligraphy Association, a current president, two titans, and Su Fan is even in the center position! Just how influential is Su Fan?!"

"It's confirmed! Officially certified! Su Fan is indeed that mysterious master. Chairman Yang has personally endorsed Su Fan this time!"

……

Originally, those so-called masters wanted to keep targeting Su Fan.

But to everyone's surprise, Su Fan first showed off his true skill in writing calligraphy in four different styles: Yan, Ou, Zhao, and Shoujin in a video.

Following that, another piece, "Preface to the Orchid Pavilion," brought the beauty of calligraphy to every household.

In addition, the current and former presidents of the calligraphy association both took a photo with Su Fan this time.

After this series of combined blows, those so-called masters who were previously making a lot of noise were completely silenced.

It's not that they don't want to speak out, but now they have become the target of public criticism.

Previously, there was at least some basis for the debate between tradition and innovation, with both sides sticking to their own arguments and engaging in back-and-forth exchanges.

But Su Fan directly labeled those bizarre writing styles as a form of acrobatics in the video.

Coupled with the immense popularity generated by Su Fan's series of actions, the definition of this kind of juggling has been accepted by more and more people.

The wind direction has completely reversed.

"Ever since Su Fan said, 'This isn't calligraphy, it's acrobatics,' I finally have a precise term. From now on, whenever I see those hair-flipping or water-spraying acts, only two words will come to mind: acrobatics!"

"I used to think those people were doing alternative art, but now I realize they were just street performers trying to attract attention; they had absolutely nothing to do with calligraphy!"

"This is called the right to define. Su Fan used his absolute strength to redefine what calligraphy is and what acrobatics is. Now everyone recognizes this line, and those people have been completely kicked out of the calligraphy circle!"

……

Online, the comments of those so-called calligraphers are rampant and remain highly popular.

With such a commotion, Jiang Wenli naturally took notice.

At first, he was just surprised. This Su Fan was really never quiet. Wherever he went, he could make a fuss.

But just as he was watching Su Fan's antics with great interest, his gaze suddenly fell on the group photo of the three of them.

Jiang Wenli's expression froze instantly.

He stared at the old man in the photo, looking at it again and again, and the more he looked, the more suspicious he felt.

He then got up and went straight to Lin Chongguang's office.

Lin Chongguang took the phone, glanced at the photo, and his brow twitched slightly.

"I'll make a call and ask."

As he spoke, he dialed Grandpa Lin's number.

The call connected, and Lin Chongguang said, "Uncle, what's going on? You're with that Su Fan? I see the photos were taken at your house. How did you two meet?"

"I met him through playing chess."

"Play chess?" Lin Chongguang was taken aback.

"Yes, we're chess buddies."

"How did you two become chess friends?" Lin Chongguang was even more puzzled. "Besides, he's in the south and you're in the north, you're practically strangers. How did you become chess friends?"

"He lives right next door to me. We met that day when we had breakfast together."

"Wait, how come he lives next door? Isn't that the Ye family's house?"

"I asked him about it, and he said it was a gift from his fans."

"Nonsense," Lin Chongguang blurted out, "Which fan is so brainless as to give away such a courtyard house?"

"How dare you talk to me like that?" Grandpa Lin said, somewhat annoyed.

Lin Chongguang quickly explained, "Hey, Uncle, I was talking about that kid, not you."

Grandpa Lin snorted: "That's what I said back then, but that kid changed the subject afterwards."

Next, Lin Chongguang patiently asked about the ins and outs of how Grandpa Lin and Su Fan met, in great detail.

I asked them everything, from how they ate breakfast to how they played chess and how they wrote their characters.

Finally, Grandpa Lin lost his patience: "Hey kid, are you checking my household registration today? Asking such detailed questions, are you ever going to stop?"

After saying that, she hung up the phone with a snap before Lin Chongguang could say anything more.

Lin Chongguang held his phone, listening to the busy tone, but was still pondering the strangeness of the situation.

After a long pause, he ordered, "Go and investigate what exactly happened at that courtyard house."

Jiang Wenli listened to the entire conversation between the two and naturally understood what Lin Chongguang wanted to investigate.

Therefore, Jiang Wenli personally investigated the matter.

When Jiang Wenli discovered that the Ye family's courtyard house had indeed been transferred to Su Fan's name, he was taken aback.

He immediately returned to Lin Chongguang's office.

"Have you found out?" Lin Chongguang asked.

"We've found out." Jiang Wenli's expression was solemn. "That courtyard is indeed currently registered under Su Fan's name. It was transferred to him privately by the Ye family a few days ago."

Lin Chongguang and Jiang Wenli exchanged a glance, both seeing disbelief in each other's eyes.

"The Ye family..." Lin Chongguang pondered, "Why would they give away an ancestral property to Su Fan out of the blue?"

Jiang Wenli hesitated before speaking, "Could it be that the Ye family is trying to bribe Su Fan?"

"That's unlikely." Lin Chongguang shook his head. "Putting aside that kid's character, just look at his temperament. How could a few houses buy him off? Besides, the Ye family is a family with such a background and foundation. They would never give away such an ancestral home so easily for no reason."

Jiang Wenli then remembered something and said, "I heard that a girl from the Ye family was in a car accident and fell into a coma. It was Master Zhang who helped treat her. Could it be that the Ye family sent this generous gift to Master Zhang to express their gratitude?"

"That's possible. It's understandable that they're using this as a way to thank their disciple and repay a favor to their master. However, the Ye family's generosity is excessive. A courtyard house in the capital is no small sum. Is it really necessary to go to such lengths to express their gratitude?"
