The video was connected, and Su Mingrui's face appeared on the phone screen.
"Professor Roland, why did you remember to video chat with me? It's already late at night here in China. You disturbed the old man's sleep. If there is nothing important, I will kill you hard at the next art appreciation conference.
"Dun." Su Mingrui's voice came out.
Everyone craned their necks to catch a glimpse of the screen.
That's Su Mingrui, a legend in the Chinese painting and calligraphy world!
Professor Roland said: "Haha, hello, Master Su. I know this is not a good time, but I do have something to ask you. This matter is related to the reputation of the Lawrence family and is very important!"
"Huh? My old man will not interfere with the affairs of your Roland family and Lawrence family." Su Mingrui said immediately.
Who in the collecting world doesn't know about the trivial affairs of the Roland family and the Lawrence family? Su Mingrui is not well-fed, so how could he meddle in such nosy matters.
"But this matter is related to China. Master Su, do you know a calligraphy asking what love is in the world? Some people say that they hope you can prove that he wrote the calligraphy." Professor Luo Lan said with a smile on his face.
He glanced at Li Xuan with a mocking smile.
Su Mingrui was stunned: "What did you say? What is love in the world! You saw the words!"
"Master Su, do you know?" This time it was Professor Roland's turn to be stunned.
Su Mingrui said nervously and excitedly: "Did you really see it? Is it by your side? Where is it? Come on, show me!"
Professor Roland had an ominous premonition in his heart, but could not refuse, so he could only focus his cell phone camera on the words.
Al quickly raised the words and greeted the camera at the same time: "Hello, Master Su Mingrui. I am Al Lawrence. I met you at the World Art Appreciation Conference last year!"
Su Mingrui didn't hear what Al said at all. His eyes traveled across the mountains and oceans between China and Eagle Kingdom, and landed on the words. His eyes suddenly lit up.
"It's it, it's it, it's it. It went to Eagle Country... What a pity!" Su Mingrui sighed while looking at it.
Professor Roland asked: "Master Su, what are you talking about? What exactly is it?"
Su Mingrui asked: "How did this calligraphy end up in Eagle Country?"
"Uh..." Professor Roland didn't know how to answer. He had already sensed that something was wrong from Su Mingrui's reaction.
Al hurriedly said: "Master Su, this is me..."
Professor Roland, with his quick hands and quick eyes, pointed his cell phone at Li Xuan. He decided not to let Al speak, but to seize Li Xuan's loophole and launch an attack. In short, he must make the water as muddy as possible.
"Master Su, this Chinese man claims that he wrote the calligraphy, and also said that you can help him testify. Is this true?" Professor Roland asked with a smile.
Su Mingrui was stunned. He never expected to see Li Xuan on the video. He was surprised and happy for a moment.
Li Xuan greeted the camera: "Hello, Master Su."
"Li...Mr. Li, why did you go to Eagle Country? Didn't you exchange that calligraphy for that Mickey Mouse?" Su Mingrui felt very puzzled.
Li Xuan said: "This matter is a long story, so you should explain it to Professor Luo Lan first. He is now questioning my identity as the author. I am a soft-spoken person, so I can only ask you to help testify!"
Su Mingrui hurriedly said: "Professor Luo Lan, Mr. Li is the calligrapher I admire and admire the most. He is the one who wrote this calligraphy. This is a true fact. Please show due respect to him."
And courtesy!”
"Master Su, what did you say?" Professor Luo Lan thought he heard wrongly. He was trembling all over, his face was pale, and the word "disbelief" was written all over his face. "Really... was it really written by him?"
"That's right! Mr. Li's other calligraphy is the masterpiece that I reported to the International Art Appreciation Conference some time ago. It has been collected in the Treasure Hall of the National Museum of China and has become a special national treasure!" Su Mingrui said.
What!
Professor Roland was shocked.
Not only Professor Roland, but also Al and everyone present were shocked.
This calligraphy was actually written by Li Xuan?
This young incredible young man?
The one who was most surprised was actually not Professor Roland, but Al.
When buying this calligraphy, Al was actually under a lot of pressure. After all, he didn't even know whose work it was, so he used family treasures in exchange for it. This was a huge risk.
But Al was fascinated by this calligraphy at that time, completely fascinated. He believed that this was a rare work and could be passed down to the day when human civilization ends.
Al also wanted to know the identity of the calligrapher, but the intermediary refused to tell him, and after asking many parties, there was no information.
Al originally thought that this would be a mystery, but he never expected to see the answer to the mystery on the first day he returned to Eagle Country!
The answer is actually a Chinese who is younger than him!
Even if Su Mingrui personally proved it, even if the answer to the mystery was more beneficial to Al, his head was still buzzing and he almost fainted.
In comparison, Professor Roland's biggest emotion was shame rather than shock.
Professor Luo Lan naturally did not dare to question the proof made by Su Mingrui.
In particular, Professor Luo Lan has long known from Su Mingrui that an extremely powerful calligrapher emerged from China some time ago, and a calligrapher he wrote was included in the National Museum of China. He also had to report to the International Art Appreciation Conference and apply to become a calligrapher.
Intangible cultural heritage of all mankind!
There had been rumors about this matter for a long time, and it was of great importance. Su Mingrui would never make a joke about it.
However, Professor Luo Lan could not imagine that this young man Li Xuan was actually the powerful calligrapher Su Mingrui called him.
In fact, not only Professor Roland, but others also didn't believe it.
"I don't believe it...how could he write such good handwriting?" someone questioned.
"I don't believe it either. Master Su, are you mistaken?"
Su Mingrui was furious when he heard this: "Are you doubting my moral character and ethics? If it is, it is, if it is not, it is not. I, Su Mingrui, guarantee with my personality and credibility that everything I just said is true!"
Personality and credibility guarantee?
Su Mingrui has said this, who dares not to believe it?
Everyone's faces were pale, and everyone was dumbfounded.
"I'm sorry, I was wrong just now." Professor Roland knew that the situation was over, so he apologized gracefully.
He obviously wanted to give the Lawrence family a blow, but unexpectedly he was overturned by Li Xuan. On the contrary, Professor Roland's reputation was greatly damaged. From now on, Professor Roland no longer had the confidence to speak loudly when he met Al again.
Li Xuan was too lazy to argue with him and said calmly: "What Master Su just said, yes means it, no means no. I hope you can remember it!"
Professor Roland bowed in shame and apologized, and left dejectedly.
Everyone looked at Li Xuan secretly, and their eyes lit up for a moment.
For such a young calligrapher, with such exquisite works, if I can get his favor and get a calligraphy treasure, I will have nothing to worry about for the rest of my life!
Upon thinking of this, everyone swarmed up and surrounded Li Xuan!
