Chapter 726: 288 The most untouchable person in Jiangjing_1

Jian Zhe was never a standout among the Jian Family’s young generation, benefiting only slightly due to being the grandson of Jian Zhonghai.

Yet, he still could not compare to Jian Rong.

Jian Zhonghai, ever eager for quick success and instant benefit, focused all his attention on Jian Rong. The only time he expressed concern for Jian Zhe was when Jian Rong was chosen by the Beicheng Writers’ Association to go to Xiangcheng, and Jian Zhe actively proposed an exchange.

If it weren’t for this trip to Jiangjing, where Jian Zhe came to visit him, Jian Zhonghai would have almost forgotten about this grandchild.

The Dean of the Chinese Department at Jiang University?

“What’s the deal with Jian Zhe, is he planning to apply for a postgrad at Jiang University?” After Professor Feng went to the rest room, Jian Zhonghai turned to Jian’s father beside him, “And who’s that girl with him?”

With just a few lines of conversation, everyone present could tell the girl was very familiar with Dean Shu.

And she introduced Jian Zhe to Dean Shu as well.

“He never told me he was applying to Jiang University,” Jian’s father had always resented Jian Zhe for not being more ambitious; watching Jian Zhe’s retreating back, he had not processed the information, “That girl… She must be the one he often mentions…”

The first day was the opening ceremony, where calligraphers from all corners of the country gathered in Jiangjing.

Waiting for the grand event, some were also hoping to seize the opportunity to show off their talents and become overnight sensations.

It was quite lively.

Meanwhile, at the Mu Family.

Mu Yining had her assistant Wang arrange for a time slot early in the morning; she had learned from Dong Xiaobai the day before that Bai Lian was attending the four-nation exchange event and felt uneasy.

This was a national event, after all.

“I’ve never heard of Miss Bai being proficient in Liang style calligraphy,” the building butler furrowed his brows; he only knew that Bai Lian’s academic achievements were impressive, superior even to those of the past Mu Qiong, “Chen, the old master, will also be present, with media and people from other countries in attendance. Are they really allowing Miss Bai to perform?”

“I don’t know,” Mu Yining made a call to Ji Shaojun.

Ji Shaojun was also unaware of this, “You mean Alian? She has been busy with lab work recently.”

Lab work?

Mu Yining paused for a moment, then hung up the phone.

“Miss Bai went to the lab this early?” The building butler was startled, then remembered something, “I heard from the son-in-law before that Miss Ren practices calligraphy every day, and she is personally coached by people from the Calligraphy Association and Old Master Dong. Miss Bai, she…”

The butler didn’t place much importance on calligraphy; besides Wanxuan, no one else in the Mu Family had ever taken the art route.

This event was indeed not to be taken lightly.

A national affair.

“Assistant Wang, book a private room at Qingxin Building for tonight,” Mu Yining sent a message to Dong Xiaobai, asking him to arrange a meeting with the personnel responsible for filming the event, “And while you’re at it, prepare a generous gift for me.”

Dong Family.

Study room.

“Old Master Chen will be there tomorrow, and there will surely be many others present,” Old Master Dong looked at Dong Xiaobai and Ren Wanxuan, “Xiaobai, when there’s a chance, let Wanxuan make an appearance in front of him.”

Ren Wanxuan, sitting beside them, didn’t know who ‘Old Master Chen’ was, but understood that he must be no ordinary individual.

She remained silent.

“I understand,” Dong Xiaobai responded.

While speaking, he received a message from Mu Yining.

Dong Xiaobai set down his tea cup and stood up, his brows slightly knitted, “Dad, keep talking to Wanxuan. I have to step out for a bit.”

“That urgent?” Old Master Dong looked up, surprised.

“Yining is worried about Alian,” said Dong Xiaobai, “I’ve arranged a meeting with Minister Cai, to minimize her screen time tomorrow as much as possible, avoiding unnecessary public attention.”

Old Master Dong knew about Bai Lian substituting for Ren Wanxuan since yesterday.

Ren Wanxuan was injured and couldn’t appear, so Bai Lian took her place.

And just by coincidence, the person who had injured Ren Wanxuan happened to be a friend of Bai Lian’s; Old Master Dong couldn’t help but suspect a conspiracy.

Hearing Bai Lian’s name, he frowned and set down his teacup, “Isn’t she your competitor? Would she help you?”

“It’s Yining’s initiative,” Dong Xiaobai said.

The Mu Family still had some clout, “I hope nothing goes wrong. You better go now.”

If there was a mistake, it would affect the Dong Family as well.

Meanwhile, Ren Wanxuan, her right hand in a cast, paused when she heard that Bai Lian would be taking the stage, knowing full well that Bai Lian too had some knowledge of the Liang style.

But hearing that Dong Xiaobai was making arrangements for Bai Lian, to reduce her screen time, she lowered her gaze.

After Dong Xiaobai left, Ren Wanxuan finished her tea and left too, her phone vibrating with a message from Cai Xin, an old acquaintance from the Sea of Ink and Brush—

[The person replacing you on stage is acquainted with the one who accidentally twisted your leg?]

Ren Wanxuan slowly replied, [They met in Xiangcheng. Uncle Dong just said he’s going to entertain for her with Minister Cai, to reduce her screen time later on]
