But having said that, if Jieyingshe doesn't apologize to Du Ning, Du Ning's "Bamboo Stone" will be quickly published in "Nanping Wenbao". By then, all the poor students in Nanping Prefecture will expand the matter infinitely, and then

Cause greater reputational damage to Jieyingshe.

"Brother Wang, no, we are all powerful people. How in the world can a powerful person apologize to a humble family? It's really ridiculous!" someone retorted.

Wang Run said slowly: "I know you are dissatisfied, but having said that, Du Ning's "Bamboo and Stone" is indeed well written. It can temper the minds and courage of scholars, so it should be donated to the imperial court."

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone suddenly realized that this was a Hongmen Banquet.

"Bamboo and Stone" can sharpen one's mind and refine one's courage, and is of great use to scholars. Holding the manuscript in hand can even create the power of instant literary courage. If this thing is left with Du Ning, it will not be of any benefit to Jieying Society.

If Du Ning donated "Bamboo and Stone" to the court, Wang Run would have many ways to benefit from it.

If Du Ning refuses to hand over "Bamboo and Stone", everyone can point their fingers at him and scold Du Ning for being a scholar, not a human being, and selfish.

This kind of title attack has a greater impact than "Tong Sheng Arrogance".

"Brother Wang Run is really a great person. Du Ning tore Zhao Dongcheng Wen Palace apart, but you came out to apologize and turned the hostility into friendship. This kind of magnanimity is really a role model for our generation of scholars." Someone said with admiration.

"The reason why our Jieying Society is called Jieying Society is because we are all children of powerful people. We want to share the worries of the court and benefit the people of the world."

"Well said! We students of Jieying Society should be broad-minded and should not worry about trivial matters."

"Brother Wang Run has a lot of great talents, and he is indeed a gentleman."
