Oh, buy words...
Xie Xihe became interested: "How much?"
Wang Jieqing thought she would refuse and had already prepared his next words of persuasion, so when he heard these words at first, he almost didn't react. When he reacted, he immediately showed excitement.
He stretched out his hand and said, "Fifty thousand... No, eighty thousand! I'm willing to pay eighty thousand for this word!"
As soon as these words were spoken, not only the people present, but even Xie Xihe was stunned for a moment.
He shook the copybook in his hand with some doubt: "Are you sure you want to buy one of my characters for 80,000?"
Wang Jieqing saw the thin paper swaying, swaying, swaying so much that his heart tightened. He quickly reached out and placed a hand under the calligraphy, saying, "Of course I'm sure. Stop shaking it. It would be a shame if it accidentally flew out and got damaged."
Xie Xihe: “…”
I really want to say that if it’s broken, it’s broken. If it doesn’t work, she can just write another one.
But after looking at Wang Jieqing who was still staring at the calligraphy, he finally held back.
After thinking for a moment, he handed the calligraphy to him and said, "Forget it, it's just one character. I'll give it to you."
Wang Jieqing's eyes were shocked and he was deeply moved, but he still shook his head and insisted: "Since you said 80,000, then it's 80,000!"
Xie Xihe again: "..."
In her past life and this life, she had met countless people, but Wang Jieqing was probably the first one who was so eager to give her money.
Is this because there is too much money and nowhere to put it?
Little did she know that she was confused, and Wang Jieqing was even more confused than she was.
She wrote the calligraphy herself, doesn't she even know the mystery behind it?
His eyes swept across the people in the banquet hall who were staring at him, then looked at Xie Xihe and the copybook in her hand. After hesitating, he gritted his teeth, took the copybook from Xie Xihe, turned it over, and showed the back to everyone.
He didn't need to say anything more. After seeing the back of the copybook clearly, everyone was shocked.
Someone immediately exclaimed: "Double-sided post, this is actually a double-sided post!"
"It really is a double-sided copybook, and the fonts on both sides are completely different. This... isn't this Mr. Lin's unique secret technique? How could there be another person in the world who can do this?!"
"Oh my god, it turns out to be a double-sided scroll. No wonder Teacher Wang was willing to pay 80,000 yuan for one character! It's totally worth the price!!"
“…”
Amidst the discussions, Xie Xihe finally understood.
A complex expression flashed across her eyes as she glanced sideways at Wang Jieqing and confirmed, "Is this Mr. Lin they're talking about, Lin Jing'an?"
Wang Jieqing's face was full of respect: "It is Mr. Lin Jing'an."
He lowered his gaze to the calligraphy copybook in his hand again, and said with some emotion, "Mr. Lin once astonished the calligraphy world with a double-sided copybook, but he retired from calligraphy soon after. Countless people came to him, begging for a copybook, but he always refused them, saying, 'The man is gone, so there's no need for the copybook to survive.' This has become a great regret for countless calligraphy enthusiasts."
As he spoke, he suddenly realized what was happening, shook his head and laughed, "Look at me, I'm so excited I've lost my mind. Since Miss Xie can write a double-sided note, she must be someone close to Mr. Lin. How could she not know these things?"
Xie Xihe's eyebrows drooped at some point, and his voice was so low that it was almost inaudible: "I really don't know..."
These were all things that happened after her death in her previous life. How could she know about them?
Wang Jieqing didn't notice her abnormality and showed excitement again: "I thought I would never have the chance to see the beauty of double-sided calligraphy in this lifetime, but I never thought I would actually see it here today."
"Ms. Xie, you must accept the 80,000 yuan. If you really calculate it, I'm the one who got the better deal. If you don't accept it, I'll feel bad." Wang Jieqing said sincerely.
This time, Xie Xihe didn't say anything more. He directly took out the WeChat payment code and handed it to him, saying, "Transfer the money."
She didn't want to take it at first because she thought it was just one word, and she could easily write thousands of them, so selling it for 80,000 yuan was a bit too much.
But now that she knew that Lin Jing'an had made her double-sided calligraphy famous and a masterpiece that would be passed down through the ages, she no longer felt any pressure to accept the money.
At worst, I can give him some of the publicity fee...
Perhaps it was because he accidentally made some money, or perhaps it was because he accidentally heard news about an old friend from his previous life, Xie Xihe's originally somewhat irritable mood suddenly improved a lot.
So he was in no hurry to leave.
After calling Wang Jieqing, he returned to the sofa area and asked around for news about Lin Jingan.
Wang Jieqing told them everything he knew, and the two of them had a very pleasant conversation.
On the other hand, Zhou Wanrou could no longer maintain even the most basic smile.
She looked at her forgotten copybook, and then at the countless people who were looking at Xie Xihe openly or secretly. She felt as if she had been slapped hard in the face again, making her want to just walk away.
But she couldn't...
She had already been defeated miserably in the competition with Xie Xihe, and she absolutely could not get a reputation of being unable to afford defeat!
Filled with remorse and a changing expression, she suddenly clenched the phone in her hand and quickly walked towards the bathroom.
"Sister Wanrou!"
Behind her came Shen Mengyue's worried and self-blaming cry, but she not only did not stop, but instead quickened her pace, and disappeared from everyone's sight in the blink of an eye.
*
Xie Xihe figured out everything that happened to Lin Jing'an after her death in her previous life, and finally let Wang Jieqing go.
Wang Jieqing looked at the girl lazily leaning on the sofa in front of him, hesitated for a moment, and then asked the question in his heart: "Miss Xie, I wonder who is Mr. Lin to you?"
