"Boss Xu is so elegant!"
As soon as I entered the door, I saw Xu Jia writing calligraphy.
Ye Chen immediately said loudly.
"Mr. Ye, please wait a moment!"
Xu Jia said without turning his head. Ye Chen smiled and walked over.
On the rice paper, Xu Jia had already written the words "If he can achieve his lofty ambitions in the future".
When Ye Chen walked to the side, he had just written the word "志". "Mr. Ye, what do you think of my writing?"
Xu Jia paused and looked up at Ye Chen. "Very good, very grand!" Ye Chen nodded and smiled. He had reached a person of Xu Jia's level.
He dares to show off rice paper and goat-hair brushes in the office, which shows that his calligraphy is definitely very good.
Being pretentious is often the forte of businessmen and celebrities, especially celebrities of Xu Jia's level, who will inevitably spend a lot of time and effort studying calligraphy.
Well, it is just that the coal king of western Shanxi, Zhao Qian, had little education and did not finish junior high school. Otherwise, he would have definitely taken up calligraphy long ago. However, it was because of his low education level and the fact that he did not finish junior high school that he did not dare to pick up the pen to touch calligraphy, so as to avoid making a fool of himself.
But different from Zhao Qian, who were just peasants, Xu Jia was a top student. When it came to elegance, he definitely had the qualities of a scholar. So Ye Chen's "magnificent" voice was not a compliment, but Xu Jia's calligraphy really had some strength.
"Haha, it's magnificent, isn't it?'
Xu Jia exhaled and shook his head, then said, "Mr. Ye, would you like to write the remaining line?"
As he spoke, he handed over the sheep-hair brush. "Shall I write?" Ye Chen was quite surprised.
Xu Jia nodded with a smile.
"Okay, then I'll show off in front of Mr. Xu!" He didn't try to be pretentious or humble.
Ye Chen took the brush out of inertia.
After coming to the center of the desk, he put his left hand behind his back and held the pen in his right hand and dipped it in ink.
This posture made Xu Jia's eyes slightly strained.
Without decades of calligraphy skills, who would dare to do such a move?
But soon, something even more surprising was yet to come.
I just dipped the goat-hair brush in ink appropriately.
Ye Chen immediately began to paint smoothly on the rice paper.
One vertical stroke, one horizontal stroke, one left stroke, all done in one go! Dare to mock Huang Chao for not being a man
The seven characters are neatly arranged in the format of Xu Jia's "If he can achieve his lofty ambitions in the future"!
But in terms of grandeur, it seems to overwhelm the words "If he can achieve his lofty ambitions in the future" written by Xu Jia!
Moreover, the tension and relaxation of these seven characters in calligraphy, which were completed in one go, are perfect, and there is nothing wrong with them!
It seems that every word gives people a natural feeling.
In comparison.
If he can achieve his lofty ambitions in the future, these words, not to mention that they cannot be compared with those written by Ye Chen, it is not an exaggeration to say that they are not worthy of being put together with those written by Ye Chen!
this
Is this the calligraphy skill of a young man in his twenties?
I'm afraid that the reputation of the current calligraphy association is hard for anyone to achieve!
"Mr. Xu, I am sorry for showing off my poor performance!" He put down the goat-hair brush.
Ye Chen said to Xu Jia with a smile.
"If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would not have believed that this was the result of a young man's calligraphy skills. I, Xu Jia, have been practicing calligraphy for decades, but I don't know until I compare myself to this. It's hard to describe how shameful it is!"
Xu Jia shook his head in astonishment. "Even compared to those contemporary calligraphy masters, it can be said that he is even better than them. This level of calligraphy skill is not only superb, but also the pinnacle!"
"Mr. Xu, you're too kind!" Ye Chen said with a smile.
Putting aside the treasures of moderation left over from the five thousand years of Yanhuang, as for myself now, in front of a person like Xu Jia, although I don't have to hide my shortcomings, I still have to be more or less humble.
"I'm not flattering you, but with your calligraphy skills, if you enter the calligraphy world and become famous over time, it's not impossible for the price of your calligraphy to become the highest in the contemporary literary world!"
Xu Jia said again, "It would be a pity...what a pity if this calligraphy doesn't enter the calligraphy world!"
"Boss Xu, what's the pity about this? Selling calligraphy is not as profitable as selling flawless cream, right? It's okay to write it for fun, but forget it if you make a big deal out of it!" Ye Chen said.
Forehead..
Xu Jia burst out laughing.
Indeed, selling flawless cream is much more profitable than selling calligraphy! - He smiled bitterly.
Xu Jia looked at the two lines of words on the rice paper again, "Mr. Ye, do you know why I thought of writing these words?"
"I'm all ears!" Ye Chen smiled softly.
"In the 1990s, I was still a wage earner. I created the first project for my group to enter the real estate industry. This project later brought a net profit of 200 million yuan to my group. In the second year of my implementation of this project, I only had a monthly salary of 2,000 yuan. I wanted to negotiate a salary increase, but unfortunately it failed. I resigned in anger! I remember that the first thing I did after stepping out of the group headquarters was to turn around and look back at the high-level office where the group boss was. The only thing that popped into my mind was that if I could achieve my lofty ambitions one day, I would dare to laugh at Huang Chao for being a coward. He was a coward, too cowardly, haha!"
From the sigh at the beginning, to the resentment in the middle of the conversation, to the laughter at the end.
Xu Jia directly released three emotions.
However, Ye Chen didn't seem to be too upset.
After all, Xu Jia's experience is so different from his previous life!
"So Mr. Xu should thank your boss at that time. If he had promised you a high salary and status, there would probably be no Hengda today, and no Chairman Xu with all the honors he has today!" Ye Chen said with a smile.
"Yes, maybe this is destined. To be honest, I believe in fate. I believe it very much! I firmly believe that all the opportunities and setbacks in life will come unexpectedly!"
While talking.
Xu Jia walked around.
Facing the large bookshelf behind the desk.
It's called a large bookshelf, but it's more like a large honor exhibition stand.
In addition to the collection of books, there are also a large number of various certificates of honor and medals, as well as those glittering football trophies lined up in a row.
The bookshelves reveal the reputation behind them. Without a doubt.
Xu Jia is undoubtedly a legendary leader among modern businessmen!
"You know what? Every time I see something on the bookshelf, I feel a surge of pride. That kind of pride cannot be bought with any amount of money. But I also know that although money cannot buy this pride, this pride is built on the foundation of money! If I hadn't resigned in anger at that time, my life might have taken a different direction. Maybe I would have become a well-known figure in the upper class, but I would definitely not be like this now!"
Looking at the bookshelf with deep eyes, Xu Jia exuded an aura of domineering power.
However, looking at Xu Jia's hair, he had a lot more white hair than when I first met him a few months ago, and his face looked much more haggard than the high-spirited look he had last time.
Look at those symbols of honor on the bookshelf.
Ye Chen couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
I'm afraid that these honors will soon become the background of the legend's fading years.
It even has an ironic background.
However, Ye Chen would definitely not say these things.
"So, just as you said, Director Xu, everything is destined. It's like you are destined to be the spokesperson for writing legends. You should be proud of yourself today. No matter what is behind your pride or what it is based on, it doesn't matter! What's important is that you do have the capital to be proud, just like you have become a household name!"
Ye Chen followed up the conversation without rushing to ask Xu Jia why he came to see him.
"A household legend? Haha!"
Xu Jia shook his head and laughed, but a fleeting trace of exhaustion and fatigue flashed in his eyes.
That's all.
Turning around, he said, "Let's not talk about this anymore. As the saying goes, the waves behind push the waves ahead. With your potential and strength, Mr. Ye, you will definitely be the next one to write a legend. And your legendary journey is so great that I am afraid I can't even catch up with you!"
After saying that, without waiting for Ye Chen to respond, he smiled and stretched out his hand to make a gesture of invitation towards the sofa area, "Okay, Mr. Ye, don't stand, hurry up and sit down on the sofa, let's talk about business!"
Creation is hard, cheer me up!
