Chapter 295: Delayed Retribution
The next day was Saturday. Liu Lan overslept. When she woke up and looked at the time, it was already ten forty!
Oops!
She never stays up late again!
Liu Lan hurriedly washed, changed clothes, and went to find Professor Su.
Old people always get up early and go to bed early. During the days on the "business trip", Liu Lan got up early every day and had breakfast with Professor Su in the hotel restaurant.
Professor Su's room was not closed, but half open for ventilation. Liu Lan knocked gently on the door from outside.
"Come in."
Liu Lan walked in and saw Professor Su wearing reading glasses and looking at his cell phone. On the table in front of him were this morning's newspaper, a few medicine bottles, and a glass of water. Even in the hotel, he strictly followed his usual routine.
Professor Su seemed to be in a good mood. He took the initiative to ask her how the model photo shoot went yesterday and whether the Weiyang Palace Film and Television Base was fun.
...
...
Liu Lan simply told him what she had seen and heard at the film and television base. When Professor Su heard that she had met the screenwriter and that he had kindly invited her to be an extra, he was delighted.
"Being a minor character is such an interesting thing, why not agree to it? I also want to be a minor character! At worst, we can go back to the capital a few days later."
Liu Man: “…”
Su Yi was of course joking, he said, "Let me tell you an interesting story as well."
The so-called calligraphy symposium is a tea party where a group of calligraphy friends who are familiar with each other and have good relationships get together to chat, drink tea, eat fruits and snacks.
At the tea party yesterday, someone told Su Yi that Suchue Town is in bad luck now.
In fact, as early as the day when Su Xuezhen was disqualified as a judge, a loser who was suspected to be at the scene posted a Weibo online to gossip about this scandal, but it did not go viral. First, this person’s Weibo account had few fans and his title was not eye-catching enough; second, Liu Lan and Zhou Budai attracted all the traffic at the same time, and everyone paid more attention to the Hanfu goddess and the young calligrapher, so who cared who Su Xuezhen was; third, the public relations department of the Calligraphy Association later discovered this Weibo and used their connections to delete all the negative information related to the calligraphy exhibition.
The day before yesterday, Xizhen Academy was suddenly investigated and punished by the joint law enforcement of the Education Bureau and the Industry and Commerce Bureau. Someone reported that Xizhen Academy did not have the qualifications to recruit students, its recruitment advertisements were suspected of false propaganda, its teachers were of low quality and misled students. The school is now in the process of closure and rectification.
Yesterday, when the calligraphers were drinking tea and chatting, they expressed their opinions on the topic of "Who is the whistleblower?" Some said it was the loser who posted a Weibo online before. This person was not convinced that his Weibo was deleted, so he turned his attention to Xizhen Academy and took the formal path of defending his rights.
Some people also speculated that he was an insider of the Calligraphy Association. Su Xuezhen has been too arrogant and boastful in recent years. He made a lot of money by calligraphy and opening a college, but he also offended many people and made many people jealous.
Calligraphers who hold this view have a basis. Given the working nature of the relevant departments, they simply ignore reports from ordinary people. It is impossible to solve the problem so quickly and efficiently, and there is no "joint law enforcement". The reporter is most likely a person of status, and many members of the calligraphy association are actually officials.
In the ancient capital, and even in the entire northwest, there were not many decent calligraphy training institutions before. Many parents wanted to cultivate their children's interest in calligraphy, but they were troubled by not being able to find a suitable teacher. The emergence of Xizhen Academy solved their urgent needs. Moreover, the dean is the famous calligrapher Su Xuezhen, a member of the Calligraphy Association, and an authority in the calligraphy world. This alone is enough for parents to trust Xizhen Academy.
So much so that nowadays, when people say their children want to sign up for calligraphy interest classes, the first thing they think of is Xizhen Academy. It is conceivable that Suchuezhen has made a lot of money from running schools. He has almost monopolized the calligraphy enlightenment business in the entire Northwest, and has touched the cake of many people.
What is even more interesting is that the entire investigation process by the relevant departments was very low-key. It was not reported in the newspapers, and the online media was also unaware of it. It seemed calm. Insiders had not even heard that Su Xuezhen colluded with Wang Qinghai to take advantage of the calligraphy exhibition and help his son commit fraud. If he was not a member of the Calligraphy Association, it would be impossible for him to maintain the reputation of the association in this way.
