Transmigration of the Famous Cyber Star-Chapter 164: Calligraphy Exhibition

Still, no other staff in the cast dared to post clarifications. Only Yang Huayue dropped likes on both of Tang Tu’s posts, and she also forwarded his second post.

She also commented: “Your apology didn’t come too late!”

Tang Tu’s two apologies and Yang Huayue’s interaction with him proved, once again, Hanfu Goddess’s innocence and Shen Mozhen’s helplessness.

“Tang Tu must feel very guilty towards the two girls.”

“Yeah. Tang Tu must’ve apologized because he realized his confession caused such huge trouble for the Hanfu Goddess.”

“He also owed Shen Mozhen an apology. He started liking the Hanfu Goddess when they were still in a relationship.”

“So he wanted to make it up to these two beautiful girls, and he sent both Qiao Xin and Zhang Daqiang into the jail.”

“Through his actions, we can see Tang Tu is not completely a playboy. He still steps up and takes his responsibility as a man.”

“Maybe he grew up because of this. He clearly understood his mistake and that he has to stop dragging down both girls.”

…

The original low-key “Sound of the Wind” cast encountered these messy things continuously. It was amazing that the reputation of the film itself had not received any damage, and it was a blessing in disguise for it. Many netizens were very curious about this “Sound of the Wind.” They wanted to see what kind of role the Hanfu Goddess played in it, the interaction between her and Tang Tu in the movie, and also because this was the last movie in Qiao Xin’s acting career.

The weekend came very quickly.

On Saturday morning, Liu Man, like usual, went to Professor Su’s office to continue studying calligraphy.

As soon as Su Yi saw the injury on her right hand, he worriedly asked her about it.

The right hand was needed in both playing the instrument and writing. If Liu Man couldn’t write anymore because of her injury, Su Yi probably would’ve felt more pain than she did.

Liu Man explained, “It’s only a scratch, and my bones did not get wounded.”

“That’s good, that’s good,” Professor Su relaxed, “Your hands are your treasure. Make sure to protect your hands the next time you play the Guqin.”

Although Professor Su was eighty-four years old, he was trendy and experienced in being a netizen. He spent around one hour online every day to browse through the news and scroll through Wei Bo.

He also saw the video of Liu Man’s performance, and he also understood the causes and consequences of the whole scandal. Su Yi felt that there was no big deal. Young people must fight and be involved in farces when they can. Or else, when they get old, they would never have the mood to make trouble.

Su Yi not only followed Princess Man’s Wei Bo but also liked her performance video!

Knowing that Professor Su was paying attention to her, Liu Man quickly opened Wei Bo and looked for Professor Su from her list of more than 2 million fans.

Professor Su’s Wei Bo name was “Professor Su Yi”; his account was at a normal tier, and he had not gotten authenticated. There was only one sentence in his profile description: “I’m an old man who teaches calligraphy and Chinese studies.” Professor Su’s profile picture was a calligraphy work written by himself.

Professor Su had only 30k fans, and most of them were students of Capital University. Because Professor Su put his Wei Bo account on the last page of the courseware PPT, every time in class, when students saw it, they would naturally follow him.

Liu Man also decisively followed “Professor Su Yi”.

Professor Su took into consideration the fact that Liu Man couldn’t write with her hands. In today’s class, he taught her history and Chinese studies.

He first checked whether Liu Man had memorized the book he lent her seriously. He casually said the titles of a few Tang and Song poems, and he asked Liu Man to recite the full text.

Liu Man could recite it all by heart, and she didn’t choke at all.

Professor Su was very satisfied. He was also testing Liu Man’s learning attitude. After all, she was talented, but she would never succeed if she got impetuous.

“It is estimated that around August, the Chinese Calligraphy Association will organize a national exhibition of calligraphy and seal cutting works. I plan to send your works to participate in the selection. I have been a judge of several exhibitions before, and I am very familiar with the judging rules. From the perspective of the judges, I think your seal script is highly likely to be awarded. Do you want to participate?”

Su Yi thought well, but he still had to ask Liu Man for her own opinion.

“Is there any prize?” Liu Man asked sincerely.

Su Yi didn’t expect her attention to be on this matter, and he smiled, “Yes, but only the top three get prizes. The first-place has a prize of 100,000 RMB, the second-place has a prize of 60,000 RMB, and the third-place has 30,000 RMB.”

Liu Man resolutely said, “I will participate!” Of course, she couldn’t miss such a great opportunity to make money.

Su Yi smiled, “Then I will report your name first. The works can be divided into two parts: calligraphy and seal cutting. You belong to the calligraphy part. There are about two months for you to prepare. You don’t need to worry; only consider what you want to write.”

Liu Man nodded. Her face was calm and peaceful, for she didn’t worry about whether she would be able to enter the top three.

Su Yi had a feeling that his young apprentice would surprise everyone on the exhibit.

He wanted to see how envious and jealous his old friends would be after learning that he had such an excellent student.

Usually, on Saturday afternoons, the “Happy Guo Guo” team would be filming “Shi-Senpai.”

But Sun Weiwei and He Qisi did not notify Liu Man beforehand, and the “Happy Guo Guo” group chat was also quite silent.

Due to courtesy and her concern, after Liu Man left Professor Su’s office, she sent a WeChat message to ask Sun Weiwei, “Are you guys still filming ‘Shi-Senpai’ today?”

Sun Weiwei did not immediately reply to her, so Liu Man found a narrow path shadowed by tall trees in Capital City University’s campus and sat down on a bench. After a while, Sun Weiwei finally replied: “The ‘Shi-Senpai’ project will be pausing for a while. Thank you for all your previous help.”

Liu Man felt surprised and hurriedly sent an emoji with a question mark.

Seeing Liu Man’s cute emoji, Sun Weiwei sighed. They could’ve easily become the most popular series online. They had already got here, and now they were giving up. She couldn’t accept this resignation at all.

“I’m going to be honest with you. ‘Happy Guo Guo’ might soon get disbanded.”

Liu Man directly typed: “Why?”

“Fang Hao and Wang Sheng are both quitting. Fang Hao says he’s very busy right now and doesn’t have the time to help us edit. Wang Sheng is becoming a senior next semester, so he has to start looking for a job. He doesn’t have time either.”

Sun Weiwei helped the two boys make up two great excuses for their quitting. Of course, Sun Weiwei wouldn’t tell Liu Man that they left because of her.

To be fair, when the rumor online regarding the Hanfu Goddess reversed, Fang Hao had already regretted his words and actions, but he felt too awkward to apologize. After all, he did quit in front of so many people, and now he wanted to return? He thought about how “Happy Guo Guo” never earned a single penny until now, so he felt like he didn’t receive any loss even if he quit.

Wang Sheng was finding a job. His grades were not at all prominent in the Chinese major, with so many skillful and talented students. He had no hopes of getting a postgraduate recommendation, he wasn’t good enough to pass the postgraduate examination, and he didn’t have the money to study abroad. His only choice was to start looking for a job.
