"What? You think you can't even admit your own incompetence? Do you even understand? You're obviously someone who hasn't read many books."
"So, do you understand what poetry is? Do you know how many types of calligraphy there are?"
"Kid, let me tell you, there are four types of calligraphy. Didn't you know that?"
"I advise you to get out of here if you know you're not good enough, and stop getting in my way."
The eight elders stroked their beards, looking quite arrogant, and threatened to disrupt the poetry and calligraphy; they certainly had reason to be proud.
But this time, Chen Feng couldn't hold back and burst out laughing.
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Oh my god!
"This is hilarious, four different styles of calligraphy."
Tears were welling up in my eyes. Damn, he had dozens of calligraphy styles in his mind, and this old man was confidently saying he knew only four, acting like he was really something.
"Eight elders, I won't argue with you. How about we make a bet?"
"Since Teacher Sa is here too, how about we change the rules of the variety show and turn it into a competition?"
Sabinen was taken aback and asked, "What insightful opinion does Mr. Chen have?"
"It's simple. Didn't the Eight Elders say I'm just a spoiled brat who relies on his connections, travels around aimlessly, and doesn't do anything productive? How about we use this variety show to create a competition?"
"Contest?"
"How do you want to compete?"
The eight elders asked.
"It's very simple. You eight elders represent Huayu, and I alone represent Fengyu. We will each compete in poetry and calligraphy, judged by professional teachers. Whoever's is better wins."
"Of course, if I lose, you can make any request you want, but if I win, how about you eight elders apologize to me in front of the camera?"
"Ha ha ha ha!"
As soon as Chen Feng finished speaking, a burst of laughter erupted. Even Zhao Anqi, Sa Beining, and others laughed, thinking that Chen Feng had gone mad.
The eight elders were the happiest; this was practically free money for them.
Even if you, a mere greenhorn, possess extraordinary talent in music and painting, poetry and calligraphy are not so simple.
Especially in calligraphy, even if you have talent, it takes many years of practice to achieve great things.
These eight elders have dedicated their lives to the study of poetry and calligraphy, and their achievements are among the best in China.
At that moment, everyone present was laughing happily, thinking that Chen Feng was joking.
"Um... Mr. Chen, you're really joking."
Sabinen said.
"A joke? Does Teacher Sa think I'm joking?"
Chen Feng smiled, but his tone was incredibly serious.
Gaa!
Sabinen was stunned.
"Mr. Chen, you're not serious, are you?"
"You need to understand that you're facing the Eight Elders of Huayu. They've been studying poetry and calligraphy for at least thirty or forty years. The bet you're making..."
Clearly, Sabinin has no confidence in Chen Feng.
“Mr. Chen, it’s fine for young people to have a competitive spirit, but if they knowingly walk into danger, that’s not courage, that’s foolishness.”
Even Zhao Anqi spoke up, her tone full of disdain.
I thought Chen Feng was really that capable, but he's just arrogant and conceited because of his musical talent.
It would be beneath my dignity to have to deal with someone like him personally.
At this moment, Zhao Anqi's opinion of Chen Feng plummeted. She had always thought that Chen Feng was a person who was strong in all aspects, and indeed, seeing him in person was better than hearing about him.
That's it?
"Young man, you're not that old, but you've got quite the big mouth."
"Ignorant fool, do you even know what poetry is? Do you even know what calligraphy is?"
"I must say, this kid is quite clever. He clearly assumes that we are too proud to bully a junior like him and that we cannot agree to his bet, which is why he is so confident."
"Kid, what are we compared to you? You're just talented in music, but in front of us cultured people, you're nothing but a fart."
The eight elders attacked them with their pens and words.
"hehe!"
Chen Feng smiled.
"A bunch of disrespectful old fogies, do you really think you're so capable?"
"If you're capable, then agree to my demands. We'll put on a live show for hundreds of millions of viewers on our program. If you're not capable, then don't bother trying."
"And you all..."
Chen Feng pointed to Zhao Anqi, Sa Beining, and several others.
"Since my debut, I, Chen Feng, have never failed to deliver on any promise I've made."
"I tell you, I am all-powerful, but poetry and calligraphy are nothing more than trivial matters."
That's outrageous! Absolutely outrageous!
The eight elders, Zhao Anqi, and others were shocked.
They had never seen such an arrogant person; they were utterly shameless.
Zhao Anqi shook her head. With her personality, how could she talk any more with such an obsessive person? She returned to her seat and closed her eyes to rest.
Ying Hua and Lin Wei'er also twitched their lips and followed Zhao Anqi back to their seats.
Sabining was embarrassed; he didn't know how to respond to what Chen Feng had just said.
Going along with it feels like I'm going against my conscience; not going along with it feels like I'm offending someone.
All I could do was chuckle awkwardly.
However, the eight elders showed no respect whatsoever to Chen Feng, this junior, and after relentlessly mocking him, they said:
"Kid, since you're so arrogant, so be it."
"I'd like to see what you, a mere brat, are capable of. Calligraphy? You're truly making a fool of yourself."
"I won't bully you. If you lose, just announce your retirement from the music industry in front of the whole country."
"This is a good suggestion, I support it."
After many twists and turns, we finally got back on the right track. Those eight old dogs finally showed their true colors.
Even Sa Beining was dumbfounded. If making someone retire from the music scene isn't considered bullying, then what is?
"It's a deal, I don't care."
After Chen Feng finished speaking, he increased the intensity of the massage chair again and added, "Comfortable."
The eight elders slowly sat down. They hadn't expected that the mission would be completed so easily this time. Indeed, young people are still too young and impatient.
The eight veterans came out of retirement for two reasons: first, Huayu offered them too much; second, they already belonged to Huayu World Group and owned shares, and they were willing to help when their own company's subsidiary ran into trouble.
This time, his return to the public eye is aimed at severely suppressing Fengyu in front of a national audience, letting people know that Huayu is the leader in all industries.
They assumed that Fengyu would invite some highly respected elders to oversee things this time, so all eight elders were mobilized at once.
Unexpectedly, Chen Feng not only participated in the competition alone, but also became incredibly arrogant.
If they had known it would be like this, they could have just sent anyone from the poetry and calligraphy department and that would have been fine. What a hassle.
Soon, the live, on-site variety show "Poetry and Books" will premiere.
Such programs are usually not rehearsed; they are all recorded and broadcast live.
At this moment, the number of viewers on Panda TV, which has not yet started airing, has exploded, attracting half of the country's audience, all because of that one sentence: Chen Feng will participate in this variety show.
Everyone has witnessed the weight and popularity of the name Chen Feng, so Panda TV couldn't possibly let go of such a great promotional mascot.
Once the show was released on the official website, viewers who weren't initially looking forward to it all flocked to it, and even many girls who only liked watching soap operas were caught up in it.
