"A unique piece? Does that mean there's only one copy of this painting? Does Mr. Guo mean this painting is authentic?"
"No way, didn't Zhong Yiren just keep saying it was a fake? Isn't this a slap in the face? Is what Old Guo said wrong?"
"Is there something we don't know about?"
Mr. Mei said somewhat impatiently, "Old Guo, stop being so mysterious, you're making me so anxious! Tell me quickly, how is this painting considered a unique piece?"
"Brother, do you admire the calligrapher Shi Kai the most? This is a painting she painted herself, and it's the only one. It was created for your birthday banquet, and she won't be painting anymore. So this is the only painting by Shi Kai in the world! It's a great blessing in my life that I can personally witness this painting today!"
Old Master Guo already knew that Yun Xinyan was Shi Kai, and that he liked Yun Xinyan very much and wanted to take her as his disciple. He pleaded with her for a long time, but she only gave him a light reply that she would consider it. She also assigned him the task of delivering a birthday gift to Old Master Mei and sending her regards.
Guo Bao: Who is the real teacher?
However, to meet someone as talented as Yun Xinyan in one's lifetime is a blessing. Even if he could just become friends with her, let alone take her as a disciple, it would make him happy. The calligraphy world has such a person, which means there is a worthy successor.
Mr. Guo's words indirectly proved the value of the work, and no one dared to question its worth anymore.
"Then this painting is a unique work of art in the world!"
"This piece is priceless! Mr. Mei is so honored; what gift at his birthday banquet could compare to this?!"
"If I could get my hands on this treasure, I would definitely treasure it!"
Grandpa Mei and Shi Kai had never crossed paths before, so why would Shi Kai suddenly make an exception and paint a picture for him? It was simply unbelievable, and there must be something he didn't know.
Madam Mei's curiosity was piqued, and she said anxiously, "Tell me quickly, why is Shi Kai willing to send such a generous gift?"
Everyone was also very anxious. Shi Kai's identity was already very mysterious, and all her works sold for higher and higher prices. She was practically a cheat code in the calligraphy world. Everyone was full of curiosity about anything related to her.
"Could it be a gift from Mr. Mei's grandson? After all, he's his grandfather, so it's only right that he would give such a generous gift. Besides, Mr. Mei's grandson has a wide network of connections."
Mr. Mei's grandson said somewhat embarrassedly, "The birthday gift I gave to Grandpa was also carefully selected, but it can't compare to this one."
If it's not Mr. Mei's grandson, then who could it be?
Everyone was so curious that they couldn't sit still any longer.
Everyone couldn't help but ask, "Old Guo, just tell us, why did Shi Kai send us such a painting?"
Mr. Guo looked around for a moment before noticing Yun Xinyan sitting at the banquet. He said with a friendly smile, "So you're here. I've been looking for you for so long. Now that you've come yourself, why do I need to vouch for you?"
Everyone's faces showed great surprise. If they weren't mistaken, the legendary dark horse calligrapher that Mr. Guo mentioned could be—
"Could Shi Kai be the female companion that Mr. Fu brought?"
