Chapter 477 If there is any secret, it is that hard work can make up for weakness.
"There's nothing wrong with it, it's good, it's good -"
The old gentlemen who got what they wanted were immediately beaming.
At their level and age, money and power are actually not very attractive to them, but when it comes to bookends, they are very keen on leaving their names in history.
Originally, they weren't too interested, but when they heard that this magazine would be issued at least thousands of copies per issue, it was really a bit crazy.
Seeing that the matter was resolved, Kong Yingda walked back a little embarrassedly and showed an embarrassed smile to Wang Zi'an. Then he glared at the old guys in the room with a tigerish face.
"Bah - now you get what you want? Are you satisfied?"
Although he was yelling fiercely, there was a smile on his face.
"Brother Zhong Mi, if you don't just do it, look at how quick Zian is at doing things..."
Wang Zi'an glanced at Kong Yingda speechlessly, then looked at the group of old men with almost white hair in the room, and secretly rolled his eyes.
Old man, people like you who study and do knowledge are really not suitable for acting. This quarrel was a bit exaggerated and fake...
Seeing the group of old men enjoying themselves immediately, to be honest, Wang Zi'an was really impressed.
No matter in the past life or in the present, these people who are bright and ignorant, immersed in learning and technology, are a group of relatively pure people in comparison.
He was just sighing in his heart when he saw Kong Yingda glared angrily at Lao Song who was teasing him.
"Although I hold the position of editor-in-chief, this magazine is owned by me after all. Is it my decision to recruit so many more editors?"
Having said this, Kong Yingda smiled at Wang Zi'an with some embarrassment.
"These old men are stalking me so hard that I can't do anything about it..."
"This is a good thing - since all the old men are willing to participate in this grand event, it would be great..."
Seeing Wang Zi'an say this, Kong Yingda was visibly relieved. He was really afraid that the child would be angry because of this and delay the important matter of publishing the magazine.
This is a great opportunity to promote the doctrine and become a family!
"Zian, since you are here today, why not just write an inscription for this magazine..."
As soon as Kong Yingda said these words, the old man in the room suddenly became excited.
"Yes, yes, yes, Zian, this inscription is definitely yours..."
"Isn't it inappropriate for a junior to ask this question?"
Who would have known that before Wang Zi'an could say anything, he was blocked on the spot by Lao Song and other old men.
"There is no one more suitable than you! You ran this magazine and you recruited the people. What's more, now you are famous in Beijing and your calligraphy is superb. If you are not suitable, who is suitable!"
Seeing that Wang Zi'an was still hesitant, Kong Yingda and several old men began to encourage him.
"Zian, write it, only your words can match our magazine!"
Is this us?
All right!
Wang Zi'an was originally worried that he was too young and not qualified enough, but seeing how supportive everyone was, he didn't hesitate.
He immediately stood up and walked to the desk.
"Come, come, Zian, I'm here to stretch the paper for you——"
I haven’t seen Wang Zi’an write for a long time. This angle is the best angle for observation and learning.
When they saw Kong Yingda, an old man, rushing to stretch the paper, everyone reacted.
"Let's stretch the paper together..."
"I'll study the ink..."
"..."
Before Wang Zi'an could pick up his brush, a group of gray-haired old men came over and huffed.
Those who didn't get a job could only stand around and watch reluctantly.
Wang Zi'an's calligraphy has been hanging in the Imperial College for some time. Who among you hasn't taken the time to copy it?
This can no longer be described as a calligraphy master, it is simply a skill that is close to the Tao!
Now that I can see Wang Zi'an writing with my own eyes, can I pass up this opportunity?
Wang Zi'an originally thought that he would be a little nervous, but who knew that as soon as he got the brush, his whole spirit changed.
The glitz goes away, and calmness arises.
"Datang Nature Magazine——"
A few words, written in one swipe, jumped out on the paper, completely natural and not out of the ordinary.
A group of old men watched for a long time before reluctantly looking away from the words. They all looked at Wang Zi'an with complicated eyes and sighed silently in their hearts.
"There are indeed geniuses in this world. I often boast that my calligraphy has reached its peak. Even compared with Yu Shinan and others, it is only slightly inferior. Now that I see Zian's calligraphy, I realize that the aura comes from itself. My level is not as good as my own.
It’s really a bit ridiculous…”
An old man almost lost his mind.
"Tao is natural and leaves no trace - Zi'an's calligraphy skills are close to Tao. Throughout the ages, I am afraid no one can surpass him!"
A group of old men sighed for a long time before coming back to their senses. They all looked at Wang Zi'an with bright eyes.
"Zian, you are no more than a weakling, but you have mastered this word to this extent. I wonder if you have any secrets——"
Before an old man finished speaking, he realized that he was a little presumptuous and hurriedly added.
"If you are willing to give me some advice, I would like to be a disciple..."
Seeing this question, everyone's eyes suddenly lit up.
If I can really get Wang Zi'an's guidance, maybe I can really hope to improve my calligraphy. Even if I can't reach the level of transcendence like Wang Zi'an, I can still reach the level of that old man Yu Shinan!
Wang Zi’an:……
Looking at this gray-haired old man who was as old as his own grandfather, Wang Zian couldn't help but feel a toothache.
You old gentlemen, don’t you have any shame?
There is Sun Simiao in front, and you are behind!
He complained in his heart, but couldn't help but smile bitterly on his face.
"The old man has already said this. If there is really any secret, the junior must know everything about it - but the junior himself doesn't know how to practice it..."
Seeing everyone's suspicious eyes, they seemed to be a little unconvinced.
Wang Zi’an:……
I just got to this level by chance, but if I tell you, you probably won’t believe me either!
How disturbing!
He tried to make his smile as sincere as possible.
"If there is any secret, I think it is perseverance. To be honest, I have always believed that hard work can make up for weakness, so I have to practice a few strokes every day..."
Everyone:…
This bitch should be beaten to death!
Are you saying in front of us old men that the trick is to persevere and that diligence can make up for weakness?
We have been persevering for decades. We have been working hard to make up for our shortcomings for a lifetime, but we have not been able to make up for it!
But everyone also knows that this kid is really not an excuse. Everyone has been writing for a lifetime, so naturally they know that practicing calligraphy really requires talent.
Everyone looked at each other and shook their heads with a wry smile. We can only attribute Wang Zi'an's situation to his extraordinary talent.
