Chapter 283 Becoming Friends
Wu Qu said guiltily, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have slandered you."
"It doesn't matter. If I were you, I would have the same association. Anyway, the matter has been resolved. We both advanced. No one has lost anything."
The more tolerant Liu Lan's attitude was, the more Wu Qu felt that he was a villain. He judged others by his own standards. As a middle-aged man, he thought he had met enough people and experienced enough things.
But Liu Lan and her actions today made him realize that his knowledge was too narrow. It turned out that there were such kind girls in the world, and this kindness was not stupidity, but a noble demeanor.
Wu Qu couldn’t understand how a girl like this could become an internet celebrity!
He had learned about the Hanfu Goddess from Weibo before. He sometimes taught himself calligraphy on the Internet, so he followed many calligraphy-related bloggers.
In Wu Qu's old opinion, internet celebrity is not a good profession. It is a group of evil people with all kinds of monsters. Generally speaking, most of them are of low level and lazy.
After all, he is older and there is a generation gap between him and the young people of today. People of their generation have elderly parents and young children to take care of and are very busy, so they don't have time to pay attention to internet celebrities.
He then thought: if all internet celebrities were like Liu Lan, who used being an internet celebrity as a way to show themselves, and were positive, talented, and full of positive energy, that would be great too, and would be a good role model for children.

Wu Qu took out his phone and silently followed Princess Qie Man's Weibo, and liked her recent Weibo posts one by one...
At the same time, the face-to-face review of Group 9 officially began.
The 9th group is the cursive script group. Except Zhou Budai, all others are over 30 years old. Zhou Budai, a young and handsome man, stands out among them.
However, he proved with his strength that being young does not mean being incompetent.
Mo Qi, a judge of cursive script, commented on the origin of his name in his exhibition work "Tao Te Ching" "Independent and unchanging, circulating without end", and exclaimed:
"It's my temperament, I'm full of energy and vigor."
With the exception of Liu Lan, this is the only positive comment Mo Qi made about the author today.
The question and answer session for Zhou Budai was set by Chen Jianqiu. He asked Zhou Budai to talk about his experience of the style of the "Two Wangs". The "Two Wangs" refer to Wang Xizhi and Wang Xianzhi.
This topic is very broad. The same question was also included in the question bank that Su Yi gave to Liu Lan, but in the column for the answer it said: "Omitted." Everyone's experience is different, and there is no cookie-cutter answer, so the people who set the questions from the Calligraphy Association were too lazy to post the answer.
Zhou Budai talked a lot, eloquently and citing classics, from Wang Xizhi's running script classic "Lanting Preface" to Wang Xianzhi's "Nine Posts of Cursive Script", and even wrote a professional paper on calligraphy on the spot.
Liu Lan believed that Mo Qi would definitely not leak the questions in advance like Wang Qinghai, and Zhou Budai could not memorize the answers in advance like her. He was truly improvising.
Wu Qu also admired Zhou Budai very much. The students of famous schools were not as ignorant as he narrowly believed. On the contrary, they were all geniuses. Besides, if they were not geniuses, the famous schools would not accept them. They were indeed related families, but what they feared most was that people with more connections than him were more talented and worked harder than him!
In the last on-site writing session, unable to resist the request of the four young judges, Su Yi personally asked the question, "Please write a sentence about the classics of the Jin and Tang dynasties in your mind."
The question is not difficult. Suyi is not Suxue Town, which is blatantly making things difficult for people.
Zhou Budai wrote about the famous line from Wang Wei's famous poem "Zhongnan Bie Ye": "When you reach the end of the water, sit and watch the clouds rise."
In the end, Zhou Budai won the first place and advanced successfully thanks to this poem.
After the face-to-face review, Zhou Budai happily sat back next to Liu Lan. Wu Qu felt a little embarrassed to face him, so he left first. Before leaving, he and Liu Lan exchanged WeChat accounts.
"Do you feel pressured after seeing my performance?" Zhou Budai asked Liu Lan with a smile.
She smiled and said, "The pressure will give me more motivation to win you."
"Hey, we are rivals now, but I still want to be friends with you."
