Qu Jian'er pouted.
She remembers.
Except for her.
Zuo Chen is the kind of person who likes to imitate.
She looked at Zuo Chen's notebook, which he hadn't hidden; there were several pages filled with tally marks.
Although she didn't know the purpose of the character "正" (zhèng), she knew clearly that this font was modeled after her handwriting.
The world is full of wonders.
It cannot be ruled out that someone has an exceptional ability to imitate, but the reason she asked Su Rong a question was simply to embarrass her.
But before she could continue speaking...
Several contact numbers called, requesting an emergency broadcast.
These people were simply calligraphy masters who had attended the event, and they specifically requested a Q&A session via video link.
One of them happened to be someone Qu Jian'er recognized.
Surprisingly, the person in the projection was one of the appraisal masters who had appeared on Lan Xiaonan's variety show. She was also a member of the antique appraisal group chat.
Qian Qian could not hide her anger.
She was Teacher Qian's student, and since she was an orphan, she could be considered Teacher Qian's half-child.
After Teacher Qian was hospitalized.
In order to take care of the elderly, Director Qian of their Cultural Relics and Antiques Bureau handed over all the big and small tasks of the bureau to her.
However, because she trusted a villain, the original work ended up in the hands of the calligraphy association.
If the calligraphy association is as honest and upright as it appears, and does not use the authentic works of anonymous masters as a marketing tool.
She probably wouldn't want to pursue the matter.
But now.
A masterpiece by a renowned artist has been reduced to being used in the entertainment industry, becoming a selling point and a source of controversy.
This circle is a big melting pot, and not everyone is as clean as Qu Jian'er.
Just as Qian Qian's projection appeared and she was about to speak frankly, she noticed Qu Jian'er.
At first glance.
She smiled.
When you want to greet someone.
The calligraphy association members were unimpressed and sneered repeatedly, "We've heard about this from a hundred thousand miles away. Why do laymen always try to show off in front of experts? Do they really think they're omnipotent?"
He waved a provocative banner.
Deep down, I'd love for someone to question me.
He likes to use his expertise to refute his opponents.
Qu Jian'er sat in the chair, propping her head up with her hand, and asked, "Do the two masters also think this is an authentic work?"
She repeated what she had said before.
If they still believe it to be an authentic work.
That's when things get much more fun.
A member of the calligraphy association said, "This is the original."
Qu Jian'er: "..." Genuine works? Tsk, I can produce three sets of genuine works for you in a minute.
The president of the calligraphy association declared through a virtual screen, staring proudly at Qu Jian'er: "I offer my life's honor as proof that if it is not an authentic work by an anonymous master, I will resign from my position as president of the association and hand over the position to her!"
In their efforts to find the anonymous person who released the original, they even contacted a grey market website at a high price.
Unfortunately, it has been impossible to find any trace of it.
A person cannot simply disappear into thin air.
He assumed that person was no longer there.
Since they're gone.
Isn't it up to them to decide the provenance of the genuine article?
Don't embarrass yourself. You are excellent, but you are not omnipotent. When you encounter areas you are not good at, just keep a low profile and don't make things so awkward.
Stop talking. That person is used to being arrogant and has no idea what being low-key means.
Why are the cookie fans silent? Haha, waiting for that cookie to be proven wrong by the master.
[A perfectly good event turned into this; I wonder how traumatized Director Hu is.]
Cookie never does anything without being sure of success. When has she ever boasted?
[You might be the ones blinded by a single leaf! I'll always believe in Cookie, so just wait and see.]
[Look, look! She's stood up. Is she too ashamed to apologize? Too late!]
Qu Jian'er straightened her clothes and glanced at the president of the calligraphy association: "Remember your words."
The president of the calligraphy association: "..." Are you sure you want to be this arrogant?
Qian Qian: "..." You're the one who can really roast people.
Su Rong: "..." You're making me lose confidence.
Qu Jian'er glanced at the virtual tools prepared by the staff, but skipped over them and picked up the actual calligraphy tools.
In today's world.
Everything can be virtualized or digitized.
The downside of advanced science is that civilization is not fully passed down and intangible cultural heritage is not valued.
Even calligraphy now has a virtual version. Even if the handwritten lines are not beautiful or grand, there are back-end machines to correct and optimize them, giving people a visual enjoyment.
Seeing that Qu Jian'er had chosen the most difficult one.
Qian Qian reminded him, "This is difficult. We're showing our faces today for no other reason than to avoid pressure."
Qu Jian'er nodded emphatically: "Yes, don't worry, I know a little calligraphy."
He says he only knows a little bit.
But he chose the most difficult tool.
She is not that great, nor can she change everyone's preconceived notions.
It's just a simple leading role.
She hopes that this seemingly dull and boring but actually valuable and meaningful thing can be widely spread.
But others clearly couldn't understand Qu Jian'er's behavior, and didn't understand the meaning of her suicidal stubbornness.
They immediately started making sarcastic remarks.
[If you don't even need a virtual writing assistant, do you think you're a master?]
Please, have some self-awareness! Do you think everyone is some great figure like the anonymous master?
[We won't name names, but some people just love to show off. They can't write well, so they refuse to admit defeat and insist on putting on a show, treating calligraphy like a joke.]
