People who hold great power are indeed different.

When Zhang Yang and Fatty knocked on the door, it was actually the president who opened the door himself. A man in his fifties with a well-maintained figure, fair skin, and a friendly smile on his face, with a strong bookish smell, but there was a vague

There is a hint of reserve during the appointment, which makes people feel comfortable but also reminds you all the time that he is a superior person and you must respect him!

There is no difficulty or snobbery like a brat, no frivolousness or domineering attitude when one is in power, everything seems very natural.

The three of them greeted each other at the door and introduced each other a few words before being taken to the hall.

This is a duplex structure. Zhang Yang visually estimated that the upper and lower floors are about 300 square meters. A house of this size is already very large. A trapezoidal crystal chandelier dropped from the second floor is very unique and atmospheric.

It is full of warmth and does not have that cold feeling. The decoration of the house is mainly in Western style. Occasionally, there are a few Chinese classical handicrafts. The combination is quite harmonious and there is no conflict of cultural concepts. From here, it can be seen that the owner is

A person with certain qualities of cultivation.

The hostess seemed to be a person of few words, with a humble face. She smiled and nodded at everyone, then poured a cup of tea for everyone, then went into the room and never came out again.

Zhang Yang never spoke, just listened quietly, because he knew very well that Fatty was the protagonist, he was just a supporting role, and he must not steal Fatty's limelight.

As Fatty said, the distance between the president and him has become much closer. First they chatted about their families, and then the President learned about Fatty's current situation, affirmed Fatty's business, and talked about some political issues.

Topics of supporting private entrepreneurs.

Of course, with Zhang Yang's position, he still won't understand the meaning of this kind of high-level meeting and conversation. In fact, in a short conversation, the president and Fatty have already determined the general direction of Fatty's future development, that is to say

, as long as it develops in this direction, the country will support it, and of course, the president will support it!

Zhang Yang did not expect that by being a good person once in a while, he would build a strong backing for himself. After this incident, the fat man's career would develop in a way that he could not even imagine now.

There will be countless opportunities in a person's life. Undoubtedly, both Zhang Yang and Fatty are good at seizing opportunities. Zhang Yang can discover through his own observation that a person who is distracted is actually a potential consumer. And Fatty's ability to seize opportunities

No less ambitious than Zhang Yang, he is able to take the risk of failure and listen to the advice of a stranger. What courage does this require?

"Brother Mao, it's a long time coming. How about we take a look at my little brother's calligraphy style today?!" the president stood up and said with a smile.

"Okay, this little brother's talent is not just about writing. I will know in the future. He is really a rare talent!" the fat man sighed.

The president couldn't help but was stunned for a moment. He naturally knew Fatty's identity. It was definitely not easy to get someone who was so respected by Fatty. When Zhang Yang saw the president looking at him, he nodded lightly, neither humble nor arrogant. This made the president stunned again.

For a moment, you need to know that he is considered a big shot in the provincial capital. Most people see him with a humble or fawning smile. This young man does not have that feeling. It is indifferent, as if he is not special because he is the bank president.

The three of them came to the study room on the second floor.

Looking at this large study room, Zhang Yang couldn't help but sigh secretly. When he was a child, he always dreamed of having such a study room. The study room was about thirty square meters, with a row of bookcases against the wall. There was no decoration on the wall, but it gave people a sense of place.

It has an atmospheric feel. There is a computer next to the window, and a large desk inside with the Four Treasures of the Study on it. Behind the desk is a small wooden shelf covered with various kinds of writing brushes.

As a study room, this space is large enough. Under the window, not far behind the computer chair, there is a fabric recliner, which should be a place for the owner to rest after being tired.

Everything seemed perfect, and Zhang Yang discovered that the books on the bookshelf were not new. They should have been read and looked through by someone for a long time. This reflected the owner's self-cultivation, and it was not the kind of outburst filled with books to show off.

household.

"How many years have you been practicing calligraphy, little brother?" After entering the bookstore, the president opened the inkstone and began to slowly grind the ink.

"I started practicing calligraphy when I was five years old. It has been more than ten years. However, it has been neglected for a long time. It has been almost two years since I wrote."

"That's a pity, but my little brother's style is really impressive!"

"Haha, although a book cannot express a person, at least it can illustrate a person's cultural accomplishment. I don't write because many people have reduced calligraphy to the stage of street performance. They are both art, but one art is different from the other.

Why……"

"Hey, my little brother is indeed as Brother Mao said. His talent is astonishing, and his explanation of this art is also profound. This means that those who make movies and those who engage in art are basically two different things."

"Yes, but art and life are inseparable. Being able to express art through life is the highest realm. I am not opposed to using calligraphy as a kind of street art, but that requires a certain realm. I can't do it.

When it arrives, I will naturally stop doing it.”

"Haha, little brother, tell me your opinion on calligraphy?" The president smiled thoughtfully. Obviously, he did not agree with Zhang Yang's reasons.

"The so-called book writers, there are four kinds of people. One kind is for self-entertainment. This kind of people can be ignored, because this kind of people have reached the point where they have nothing to desire and nothing to ask for. There are almost no such people in this world. They will not

When your works are shown to others, they won't be judged. It doesn't matter whether they are good or bad. What's important is that you are happy. Of course, their level is enough. The works are not necessarily excellent. We are just talking about level."

"Yes, this is a man among the gods. Naturally, he can't be found. What's the second thing?" The president nodded.

"Second, people like to read to others, but don't consider other people's feelings when writing. Such people have vanity, but they don't take into account the emotions of the viewers. So, this kind of thing is a failure, but

, Such people can also become gods when they reach a certain level, such as the ancient calligraphy master Mi Fu. Those who can understand his works will naturally say they are good, while those who can't understand them will regard them as garbage."

"Haha, little brother is indeed an expert. Haha, just this evaluation can already put the calligraphy world to shame."

"Haha, it's funny. Thirdly, he is the kind of person who only gives to others without caring about his own feelings. Even if I don't say anything about this person, I must know that Cai Jing, his calligraphy is purely for others to see, and he can give it to others.

People feel a kind of comfort and shock, but they themselves cannot experience happiness from it, because calligraphy is just a tool for him. He has reached the pinnacle of creating happiness for others. He can also be regarded as a successful calligrapher.

Jia, the only shortcoming is that he cannot experience the joy of calligraphy by himself, and he never uses calligraphy to express his feelings."

"What about the fourth type of person?" The president couldn't help but think thoughtfully.

"The fourth type is the highest state except for the first type. We cannot comment on the work of the first type, so it is a myth that does not exist. Therefore, this fourth type is what we can see.

, Yan Zhenqing, Yan Zhenqing was an upright person, and his calligraphy was as good as his own. One of his works, "Memorial Notes for Nephews", can express the author's shocked mourning face, angry and sighing heart..."

"Writing is like acting. Although Chaplin's comedy performances make people laugh, it is rare to see him laughing. Most of them are cold, reserved smiles or even bitter smiles. This kind of implicitness is just like the light clouds covering the moon and the willow hiding.

The artistic conception of parrot is endlessly evocative. Real actors have been pursuing this realm all their lives. Although there are similarities and differences, this realm is not suitable for calligraphy because calligraphy uses words to express catharsis.

and expressions, rather than movements and facial expressions. Therefore, the highest state of calligraphy should be that when you are happy, the works you write can make the viewers happy, and when you are sad, the works you write can make the viewers sad too. This is a calligraphy artist

Lifelong pursuit, of course, this is also my pursuit..."

…

There was a silence in the study room, and the fat man heard it in confusion, and the president's hand that was polishing ink stopped, as if he was thinking about an important issue.

Finally, the long silence ended.

"Little brother, thank you. Okay, that's it for today. I won't delay your rest. Brother Mao, I hope I didn't misjudge you. I think that in my life, although I am not a person who can destroy great evil, I am not a person who can destroy great evil.

He is a good person, but the funny thing is that I actually want to pursue the highest realm of calligraphy... Haha... Little brother gave me an enlightenment today, thank you! If you wait until I reach the realm you mentioned, I will come to your door in person.

I’m going to visit my little brother and ask him to fill in these words!”

"..." The fat man was stunned for a moment, looking at the "glorious hall" spread out on the desk. He didn't understand what happened, but after all, he still didn't say anything. The host had clearly said goodbye.

.

"Zhang Yang, what on earth did you say? Why didn't I understand?" Fatty walked downstairs with Zhang Yang inexplicably and got into the car, and couldn't help asking anymore.

"Haha, it's nothing, I just told him the principles of life." Zhang Yang said lightly.

"The principle of being a human being?" The fat man was stunned.

"Yes, from the moment I walked in, I could see that the owner is a person who pursues perfection. He can intersperse Chinese artworks with European style. This shows that he is a person who pursues perfection. From the layout of the study room

Look, he is a cultivated and high-quality talent. However, that recliner tells me that he is also a person who loves to enjoy himself. Therefore, it is impossible for him to achieve a perfect state in the pursuit of calligraphy.

Yes, first of all, he asked me to make up for the calligraphy work today and fell behind. Just imagine, how could my mood when I was writing to you be the same as my mood when I was writing to you today? If I added it, it would be superfluous...

…”

"Ah...then...will that affect our future cooperation?" The fat man suddenly became anxious.

"No, what he said to you is that he hopes that starting from you, he can start a new life, and hope that you can give him a voice. I think the main reason why he has this idea is because he did not accept a bribe from you.

So, he hopes that your business will succeed because of his help. I think if he really has that idea, he may strengthen cooperation with you. After all, you own a very large private enterprise.

With your help, he can easily rise to the top, now, it’s up to you.”

"Don't worry, little brother, I, Mao Renguo, have been through all the ups and downs for so many years. This little setback cannot break me. As long as the money in the bank is in place, the company will be able to get out of the woods soon."

"Yeah, I hope you can achieve greater success, brother. Now your position in the paper industry is almost the number one in Asia. Try to become the number one in the world, and then the number one in the universe..."

"Haha, thank you little brother for your kind words!" The fat man laughed.

…

"I'll get off the car right here!" Zhang Yang saw the neon sign of the private hotel. Zhang Yang didn't want this brand-new Mercedes-Benz to be delivered to the door of the hotel. It was too eye-catching. After all, few people would take a Mercedes-Benz.

Stay in a low-end hotel like that.

"Well, little brother, do you need my help?" The fat man stared at Zhang Yang closely.

"No need, I can handle it." Zhang Yang shook his head.

"Haha, I know that your personality will not accept favors from others. However, I believe in you, little brother. Your achievements will one day surpass my brother. Don't forget to recognize me by then."

"Then I have to thank my brother Ji Yan. If I achieve my brother's achievements that day, I will send him a private jet with three words spray-painted on it..."

"What word?" The fat man was stunned.

"Send it to Zhang Yang!"

…

"Hahaha...Okay, I will wait for that day. If you give me a plane, I will give you a yacht. It will be spray-painted on the boat. Mao Renguo will give it to you!"

"Hahaha……"

"Hahaha……"

Naturally, the two of them didn't know that it didn't take long for the current joke to come true, and that the plane and yacht became the targets of all the media, so that the two of them had to hide the plane and boat, not daring to use it at all.
To be continued...
