…………

Seeing Henry Zhang stepping on the paper with the word 'challenge' written on it, facing the door of the Calligraphy and Painting Alliance, everyone around him was shocked and wiped his eyes subconsciously. The first feeling was that this must be an illusion.

.

In this street, in this field, no one has ever seen anyone dare to challenge the Calligraphy and Painting Alliance.

Is the mantis trying to act like a chariot?

Does a fly shake a tree?

Hitting an egg against a stone?

Almost the same idea flashed out of their minds, and everyone looked at the Shanhe calligraphy and painting group facing the Calligraphy and Painting Alliance with strange expressions, and started talking about it.

"Weird things happen every year, especially this year. Shanhe Painting and Calligraphy is just a one-star painting company, but it dares to challenge the Painting and Calligraphy Alliance. This is really shocking."

"It's probably because of the hype, but the hype also creates a bad reputation. The leaders of Shanhe Painting and Calligraphy probably had their heads smashed before they thought of such a move. It's really a stupid plan!"

"Look, someone from the Calligraphy and Painting Alliance has come out. The middle-aged man in a suit is a high-level person in charge of the Pearl Branch of the Calligraphy and Painting Alliance. His name seems to be Li Wen. The old man in Tang suit beside him...ah, isn't that the Pearl?

Zhou Shidian, the only four-star painting master in the branch? He rarely appears here and usually rests at his home in a suburban villa. Unexpectedly, when Shanhe Painting and Calligraphy came to challenge today, he was actually present. I have to say that Shanhe Painting and Calligraphy was a challenge.

It’s really unlucky.”

The voices of discussion gradually weakened as the people from the Calligraphy and Painting Alliance appeared. Everyone around them looked ahead, watching this interesting scene.

Li Wen frowned slightly. Today, he invited old man Zhou Shidian to discuss the specific competition matters for the Pearl Division of the Calligraphy and Painting Competition. Unexpectedly, he heard a report halfway through that someone had set up a ring at the door of the Calligraphy and Painting Alliance to challenge the Calligraphy and Painting Alliance.

Li Wen didn't want to pay attention to such nonsense. If a random cat or dog wanted to challenge the Painting and Calligraphy Alliance, and the Painting and Calligraphy Alliance all went out to fight, then the Painting and Calligraphy Alliance would be extremely busy. However, when Li Wen wanted to wave his hand away,

When the security guards went out to kick out the Shanhe Calligraphy and Painting people, old man Zhou Shidian stopped them.

"How dare you go to Liangshan without twos and threes." Zhou Shidian's eyes showed strong interest, "Those who dare to challenge in front of the Calligraphy and Painting Alliance, with this courage, we should go out and take a look. In order to avoid the eyes of outsiders, we

It gives the impression that the Calligraphy and Painting Alliance has become petty and petty.”

Li Wen and Zhou Shidian walked out side by side.

The two people's eyes immediately fell on the two big characters at Henry Zhang's feet...

"Challenge." The old man Zhou Shidian smiled softly and stroked his beard. He had a certain air of immortality. He nodded slowly and said, "The handwriting is vigorous and powerful, the brushstrokes are sonorous and resolute, and the sharpness is clearly visible. It can be seen that these two words are written

The young man with the Chinese character has great ambitions. Looking at people by the Chinese character, he is full of a heart that dares to challenge and make progress. He is a good, very good young man." As soon as Zhou Shidian came out and saw these two words, he was surprised by everyone.

He praised it, which immediately made everyone around him puzzled. However, some people said that this was reasonable.

"Although Mr. Zhou Shidian holds a high position and plays an important role in the Pearl Branch of the Calligraphy and Painting Alliance, he has always set himself as a painter. And he appreciates and often supports new people. Now he praises these two words. It seems,

The young painter at Shanhe Calligraphy and Painting really has some potential."

"However, the younger generation will always be the younger generation. In front of old man Zhou Shidian, they will always be the master of their own game."

"Young man, did you write these two words?" Zhou Shidian raised his head and asked Xiao Yang.

At this time, Ximen Lang stood up humbly, "It was the clumsy writing of the boy Ximen Lang, which made Mr. Zhou laugh." When he saw Zhou Shidian coming out, Ximen Lang wanted to curl up those two words.

The urge to come back and the fighting spirit that had arisen before disappeared completely. Because Zhou Shidian had such a profound influence on him. Growing up in Mingzhu, how could he not have heard of Zhou Shidian, who was known as the number one calligrapher in Mingzhu.

If Zhou Shidian's love for calligraphy had not reached a feverish level and he neglected painting instead, he would definitely have been rated as a five-star painting master, because the evaluation of this famous artist is a comprehensive score of calligraphy and painting.

When it comes to calligraphy alone, Zhou Shidian definitely deserves his five-star rating.

Zhou Shidian nodded, with a hint of appreciation in his eyes, "Young man, you have potential. If you come to the Calligraphy and Painting Alliance, I guarantee that you will get the best and most complete calligraphy and painting guidance."

As soon as he finished speaking, many people around him showed envy in their eyes.

This is equivalent to being directly recommended by the old man Zhou Shidian to enter the calligraphy and painting alliance, and the salary will definitely not be low.

At this time, Henry Zhang raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at Zhou Shidian with a smile, "Old sir, you seem to have chosen a bad time to poach someone."

Now Shanhe Painting and Calligraphy is challenging the Painting and Calligraphy Alliance. If Ximenlang is directly poached in public, wouldn’t it be a slap in the face for Shanhe Painting and Calligraphy. This would be even more embarrassing than losing.

Ximen Lang shook his head at the same time, "Thank you, Mr. Zhou, for your kindness, but I am having a good time at Shanhe Calligraphy and Painting, and I don't want to leave."

Zhou Shidian couldn't hide the regret in his eyes. He believed in his own vision. As long as Ximen Lang came to the Calligraphy and Painting Alliance and received good resources to train him, he would definitely become a pillar in the calligraphy and painting world. If he stayed in a small place like Shanhe, he would very likely be buried.

of his talent.

Zhou Shidian shook his head and said, "You are the one who wants to challenge the Painting and Calligraphy Alliance today?"

"Of course not." Ximen Lang looked at Xiao Yang with a bit of respect, "It is Mr. Xiao Yang, the chief guest of our Shanhe Painting and Calligraphy, who challenges your calligraphy and painting alliance."

"Zhou Yang?" Zhou Shidian glanced at Xiao Yang.

Henry Zhang cupped his hands and said, "Please enlighten me."

At this time, Li Wen, who was standing next to Zhou Shidian, looked a little downcast and embarrassed, "Xiao Yang, right? Today, Shanhe Calligraphy and Painting came to challenge our calligraphy and painting alliance for no reason, which caused great public opinion and crowds, which directly affected the calligraphy and painting alliance.

Normal operations. So, don’t blame me for not warning you in advance. After this game, I will definitely hold you accountable.”

Li Wen is different from Zhou Shidian. He is a businessman who always focuses on a profit.

"Of course, if you win at Shanhe Painting and Calligraphy, we, Mr. Li, will definitely appreciate you and let bygones be bygones." Someone in the Calligraphy and Painting Alliance camp laughed and teased, which immediately caused a burst of laughter. Even Li Wen couldn't help but chuckle.

He smiled, seemingly acquiescing.

Shanhe calligraphy and painting wins?

Such nonsense, in fact, can only be heard as a joke.

With Zhou Shidian at the helm, a small one-star painting company like Shanhe Calligraphy and Painting was simply trying to hit a rock with an egg, without overestimating its capabilities.

Ye Sang looked at the unbridled laughter of everyone in the calligraphy and painting alliance, and couldn't help but feel anger rising in his heart. He subconsciously wanted to rush forward, but was immediately stopped by Jun Tieying.

"Tieying, these arrogant guys should be taught a lesson." Ye Sang's eyes were cold.

“Don’t worry, Henry Zhang has a solution.” Jun Tieying said calmly.

Before the game even started, he was laughed at without restraint.

Many people in Shanhe Calligraphy and Painting couldn't help but blush, and even wanted to dig a hole and bury themselves in it. No one argued, because in their own eyes, this was also a game without suspense.

Henry Zhang looked calm, as if he couldn't hear those harsh sounds at all, and glanced in front of him with a smile, "Leave a line in everything so that we can meet each other in the future. I don't know if you lose in the end, will you be so embarrassed that you want to

Hang yourself. Or continue laughing without shame. To be honest, I'm really looking forward to your expressions."

Li Wenbu smiled.

He has seen many people who are good at talking.

"Xiao Yang," Zhou Shidian's expression did not show laughter or any teasing expressions like the rest of the calligraphy and painting alliance, but was calm and natural. An excellent calligrapher and painter has an extremely important state of mind. He said softly, "If you insist on competing.

, I can agree to it, but there is a condition."

Henry Zhang simply said, "Say."

"You come here to challenge for no reason. If you lose, you have to pay a price." Zhou Shidian chuckled, "I won't make it difficult for you. If you lose, then terminate the contract with Ximen Lang and let Ximen Lang switch to the Calligraphy and Painting Alliance.

.”

Zhou Shidian really developed a love for talents.

In his opinion, Ximen Lang's rejection of his invitation just now should be bound by a contract with Shanhe Calligraphy and Painting. Therefore, he wanted to take this opportunity to put forward this condition.

Henry Zhang’s answer was equally straightforward, “I promise you.”

Ximen Lang's face changed slightly, and he looked at Henry Zhang, his expression showing a burst of anxiety. He really wanted to stay in Shanhe Painting and Calligraphy Company.

"It's just that I also have a condition." Henry Zhang then spoke.

Li Wen frowned and was about to speak out about his duties, but Zhou Shidian waved his hand to stop him, "It's normal for each person to have one condition."

"Since it is a competition, there are winners and losers." Xiao Yang smiled and said, "If Shanhe loses, we must do what Mr. Zhou said. On the contrary, what if the calligraphy and painting alliance loses?"

As soon as he finished speaking, many of the Calligraphy and Painting Alliance and loyal supporters of the Calligraphy and Painting Alliance present couldn't help laughing.

"This guy really came here after having his head smashed, and he actually said such idiotic things."

"It's good if it doesn't look too ugly to lose, but you still want to win?"

"Hurdle over Liu Xiang first, and then let's talk about him taller than Yao Ming. Haha!!"

"What conditions do you have?" Zhou Shidian said directly and quietly, without any self-esteem.

"My conditions are of course very simple." Xiao Yang said, "Shanhe Calligraphy and Painting has applied repeatedly to become a two-star painting company but failed. The reason for the rebuttal is that there are no two-star painters in Shanhe Calligraphy and Painting. If I am lucky enough to win, I will also invite Mr.

Give me a certificate as a two-star painter, so that our Shanhe can be successfully promoted to a two-star painting company."

"Two-star painter?" Zhou Shidian was startled.

Some couldn't laugh or cry.

If Henry Zhang can really defeat himself with his strength, he will not only be qualified as a two-star painter.

If this becomes a fact, it will really be a huge irony for the Painting and Calligraphy Alliance.

A painter who is as good as a five-star painter can't even get a two-star painter certificate. Isn't this ironic?

"No, a two-star painter?" Zhou Shidian suddenly frowned and looked at Ximen Lang, "With Ximen Lang's calligraphy skills, it is more than enough to test a two-star painter."

Ximen Lang smiled bitterly, "Mr. Zhou, I have taken the exam no less than ten times this month, and every time, your review agency judged me to have failed."

Hearing this, Zhou Shidian's face suddenly darkened. He seemed to have realized something, and at the same time he felt a slap in the face. Ximen Lang was unable to pass the review of the two-star painter. For him, it was a severe slap in the face to the review agency of the Calligraphy and Painting Alliance.

!

No wonder Ximen Lang doesn't have the slightest fondness for the Painting and Calligraphy Alliance.

Zhou Shidian shook his head and turned to look at Li Wen, "It seems that the people in the review agency need to go through the selection process."

Li Wen's face looked a little ugly. Hearing this, he nodded stiffly.

"This is not a condition at all." Zhou Shidian waved his hand, "I can guarantee that regardless of winning or losing, Shanhe Calligraphy and Painting will be awarded a certificate from the Two-Star Painting Company immediately."

Henry Zhang smiled and nodded, feeling somewhat fond of this upright-tempered old man, "Then I'll thank you, Mr. Zhou."

Zhou Shidian turned around and ordered a person in charge to prepare a certificate for Shanhe calligraphy and painting, and then looked back at Henry Zhang, "In that case, without further ado, let's start the competition! Calligraphy and painting, you have to compare both together, or choose one."

"Compared with calligraphy." Henry Zhang replied without hesitation.
