Chapter 71 Collapse

When Jiang Wu was having lunch, he received a complete set of pens, ink, paper and inkstone sent by Han Zhong. Han Zhong even allowed him to use his study as long as he could hand in his homework tonight.

Jiang Wu, who wanted to use this as an excuse, looked at the whole set of equipment and cursed it as cunning, then took the things into Han Zhong's study.

This was the first time Jiang Wu had entered Han Zhong's study after moving in. There was nothing special about it. It was decorated in the same modern and simple style as the living room, mainly gray and white, with a touch of haze blue. The tall wooden bookshelf on the wall reached the ceiling and was filled with all kinds of books. Jiang Wu only recognized the Chinese books, and he had never seen books in other languages.

On the desk in the middle of the room was a computer, a folder, and two simple ornaments. Everything was neatly arranged. Apart from a water cup, there was no other clutter. It was clean and tidy.

Jiang Wu looked around the study and saw a covered photo frame in the corner of the bookshelf. He picked it up and saw the person in the photo.

That was the sixteen-year-old Han Zhong, and Jiang Wu recognized him at the first sight.

He was almost identical to Yan Zhong whom he had first met at Qiling Mountain, the only difference being that he was taller. His figure was still slender and tall, but not as strong as it is now. His handsome face was tinged with youthfulness, his deep brows and eyes were full of smiles, and he was wearing a light-colored casual suit. He looked at the camera with high spirits, without any trace of the coldness and weirdness that he had shown more than ten years later.

Jiang Wu poked the person in the photo and felt an indescribable feeling. Although he had learned calligraphy in those days, he could not learn to paint at all. As a result, he could not even draw a portrait after Yan Chong's death, let alone Yan Chong at the age of sixteen.

I have to say that the modern age is still good. Not only do we have high-tech products that can record people's voices, appearances and smiles, but we also have a complete and terrifying "Criminal Law".

Jiang Wu used his mobile phone to take a photo of the sixteen-year-old Han Chong, then put out pen, ink, paper, and a thick copy of the Criminal Law and began to copy.

Half an hour later, Han Zhong received a calligraphy masterpiece that could rival that of a master. It was smooth and free-flowing, and had an air of immortality, if the content was not all about the provisions of the Criminal Law.

He ruthlessly sent a message: No searching for artistic words on the Internet is allowed.

Jiang Wu: What artistic calligraphy? I copied this!

Someone's dissatisfaction can be felt through the screen, and it seems to be genuine. Han Zhong was very surprised. Although he did not know calligraphy, he knew several veteran artists from the National Calligraphy Association, and his family also collected many authentic works of ancient masters. Naturally, he could see the value of this calligraphy, which could not have been written without decades of practice.

And it was these words that really made him match Jiang Wu, not only in appearance, but also in his unique temperament.

He stared at the calligraphy for a long time, then took out the calligraphy that Jiang Wu gave him in the morning and placed it on the table for comparison. There was indeed a huge difference.

Lisa happened to come over to deliver some documents. When she saw the draft book on the table, she laughed and said, "You scared me! I thought I brought my nephew's homework book here!"

Han Zhong: “…”

"Ahem." Yao Ping coughed lightly, "This was written by Mr. Jiang."

Lisa's smile froze, "...Sorry, Mr. Han, my nephew's handwriting is actually OK, but he's not very good at it."

"He's just not good at using a marker." Han Zhong glanced at her calmly, then held up the calligraphy on his phone, "He also wrote this."

Lisa was amazed and said in amazement: "I am a layman, but I know this word well. This must have been practiced since childhood. It's really talented."

Han Zhong raised his eyebrows, but said calmly, "It's OK. He is already very good, but he just doesn't like to brag."

Lisa couldn't help but flatter him, "Of course, this calligraphy is one of the best in the entire calligraphy world, not to mention the entertainment industry. If it were to participate in a competition, it would definitely be number one in the country!"

Han Zhong was moved by her words and turned to look at Yao Ping, "Find out when the National Calligraphy Competition is held and help him sign up."

Lisa was confused, so she asked, "Are you really going to join? Is this necessary to be in the entertainment industry?"

Yao Ping had long been accustomed to his CEO's unusual behavior when facing Mr. Jiang, and calmly asked, "Does Chinese painting need it?"

Han Zhong then lowered his head and asked Jiang Wu if he knew Chinese painting. Jiang Wu felt that his weakness was exposed and sent a voice message to him, telling him to get out.

Because it was an office, the voice message was being broadcast out loud, and Lisa could clearly hear the angry and frustrated "get out" coming from the other end.

However, their president acted as if he hadn't heard it, and looked up and said to Assistant Yao, "He won't."

“…”

Lisa was dumbfounded. My goodness, you just listen to what he says and then try to understand his meaning, right? Is your president so flexible in love?

Yao Ping turned around and went to register Jiang Wu, leaving Lisa standing in front of the desk and talking about another thing, "Tang Lin from Hengyu Film and Television asked when you are free and wants to meet you."

Han Zhong looked at the calligraphy by Jiang Wu on his phone and said without turning his head, "Find a reason to postpone it."

Lisa thought for a moment and said, "I have rejected it before, but the other party reacted strongly. Considering Mr. Jiang's profession, I came to tell you."

"Rejected." Han Zhong lowered his head and enlarged the words on the picture, and said lightly, "Mr. Jiang only needs to consider me, not others."

Lisa was shocked by this sentence, and couldn't help shouting in her heart, "Fuck, is this the strength of a domineering president?" Then she replied calmly, "Okay."

After Lisa left, Han Zhong remembered that he had something yet to tell Jiang Wu. He moved his fingers and sent a message: It's well written, check it out online.

Jiang Wu: What are you looking at?

Han Zhong: The power of law.

"What's all this mess?"

Jiang Wu opened Weibo with a puzzled look on his face, and then fell into a melon field.

During the two days when he and Han Chong were fighting each other in a battle of wits and courage, a lot of things happened on the Internet. First, Zhou Haiying, whom he had met that day, apologized online under her real name to the artists who had been cyber-bullied, including Jiang Wu, which led to a wave of condemnation against Ke Xingyan himself and his fans on the Internet.

The main force of the condemnation came from fans of an artist named He Yunxing. Jiang Wu searched this person's profile and found out that he was one of the two male protagonists in "The King's Avatar" with Ke Xingyan.

When the drama was first aired, both of them became very popular, and there was even a CP super topic called "Yan Xing Yi Ji". However, not long after the drama was over, it was revealed that Ke Xingyan had a girlfriend and was trying to hype up the CP with He Yunxing. After the fans of both sides argued for a while, this CP was completely over.

Since then, the two have been at loggerheads with each other. Whenever one of them comes out with negative news, the other will add insult to injury. Netizens jokingly call the two the most undignified pair of male protagonists in domestic entertainment.

In the last makeup scandal, only a few of He Yunxing's fans participated, but this time in Zhou Haiying's incident, they came in a mighty way, and their accusations seemed to wish that Ke Xingyan would be banned from the entertainment industry. It was obvious that they were organized and had a purpose.

If it was just online violence by fans, strictly speaking, Ko Hsing-yen could not be implicated. However, just when Ko fans were whitewashing their idol, it was suddenly revealed that Ko Hsing-yen was suspected of tax evasion and money laundering.

At first, Ko Hsing-yen's fans were controlling the comments and fighting against fake news, but the next day an official notice from the tax bureau came out, stating that Ko Hsing-yen's studio had committed tax evasion and had been strictly ordered to pay the taxes.

In addition, the film "Summer in the Forest" in which Ke Xingyan participated is suspected of money laundering, and his studio, crew and other partners are under investigation.

This heavy blow made Ke Xingyan's fans speechless instantly.
