After Divorce, Bewitching Female CEO Pursues Me - Chapter 28

As soon as the words fell,

 

Chen Ping lifted a corner of the xuan paper, shook it slightly, and then blew a breath toward the four characters.

 

He looked at Mayor Zhang, “Take a look now!”

 

“Huh? What is this—”

 

The next moment,

 

Zhao Tianyi let out a gasp of astonishment,

 

which caught Mayor Zhang’s attention. He immediately looked over.

 

To his surprise, the four previously unremarkable characters

 

suddenly seemed to come alive.

 

With just one glance,

 

each character seemed to be jumping, stepping, spinning around…

 

It was as if they weren’t just characters,

 

but four living people

 

showcasing their extraordinary talents.

 

“This… how is this possible?”

 

For a long while,

 

Mayor Zhang exclaimed in shock.

 

“Shh!”

 

Zhao Tianyi immediately made a silencing gesture,

 

bent down to one side, lowered his body, and looked at the four characters at eye level with the paper,

 

instantly, he beckoned to Mayor Zhang.

 

Curious, Mayor Zhang walked over and imitated Zhao Tianyi’s posture.

 

From this angle,

 

the four characters “Pī Jīng Zhǎn Jí” (“Clearing the thorns and brambles”) looked different again.

 

They appeared to be four humans climbing mountains and hills, ascending to greater heights.

 

“This… this…”

 

Mayor Zhang was so amazed that he didn’t know what to say.

 

At this moment,

 

Zhao Tianyi moved to another corner and observed in the same manner.

 

“Mayor Zhang, come and look from here!”

 

Hearing this, Mayor Zhang hurried over to observe.

 

It was as if he had entered a dense forest,

 

where four people were wielding knives and axes, cutting through the vegetation to clear a path…

 

“This… this…”

 

Mayor Zhang was so shocked he became incoherent.

 

“Mayor, Master Zhao, come and look from my side!”

 

Suddenly, the mayor’s secretary spoke up.

 

Mayor Zhang and Zhao Tianyi immediately went over.

 

From this angle,

 

the four characters transformed into two different states.

 

“Pī” and “Zhǎn” were dynamic,

 

while “Jīng” and “Jí” were static,

 

one moving, one still, distinctly separate,

 

creating a completely different visual effect.

 

It was unlike the dynamic scenes from before.

 

“Let’s go see the last corner!”

 

Zhao Tianyi and Mayor Zhang hurried over.

 

From the final corner, the view was indeed different again.

 

The four characters rose and fell in succession,

 

seeming to have a rhythm to them.

 

“Seen from the front, they form ridges; from the side, they form peaks. Viewed from near or far, high or low, each aspect is different. The true face of Mount Lu is unknown, simply because we’re in the mountain!”

 

Zhao Tianyi shook his head in amazement, “It’s divine! Absolutely divine. Different perspectives reveal different meanings! These four characters are unparalleled, unprecedented, and never to be matched again! A masterpiece of the ages…”

 

The more Zhao Tianyi spoke, the more excited he became.

 

Even though he had studied calligraphy for decades, the most he could achieve in a piece was two different meanings, but Chen Ping had created four distinct meanings.

 

Such a prodigy had never existed before!

 

Mayor Zhang was also in awe, completely shaken, and after a long pause, he managed to utter two words— “Incredible!”

 

He never expected that something that initially seemed ordinary could be transformed by Chen Ping’s simple action into a masterpiece.

 

Unbelievable!

 

Chen Ping appeared to be only thirty, just reaching the prime of life, yet his calligraphy skills were so advanced.

 

Given time, he would surely become a world-renowned calligraphy master!

 

No wonder Chen Ping said that Master Zhao Tianyi’s calligraphy was a bit lacking. It turns out he wasn’t just talking nonsense but actually had real talent!

 

At this moment, I really misjudged him!

 

“What? Mr. Chen’s calligraphy has been recognized?”

 

Wen Xue’er, who was covering her eyes, slowly moved her hand away upon hearing this and looked towards Mayor Zhang and Zhao Tianyi. Both had expressions of shock and were looking at Chen Ping with admiration.

 

“This…”

 

Wen Xue’er was dumbfounded, unable to believe it. This man was skilled in martial arts, knowledgeable in medicine, adept at carving, and now his calligraphy was also unique. He was truly mysterious. What other secrets did he have that she didn’t know about?

 

Wen Xue’er’s eyes sparkled with anticipation.

 

“Young friend Chen, could you… could you give me these four characters?” Just as everyone was still in disbelief and hadn’t reacted, Zhao Tianyi suddenly looked at Chen Ping expectantly.

 

“Give them to you?” Chen Ping was taken aback.

 

“Yes. I have been immersed in calligraphy for decades, and such a divine stroke as young friend Chen’s is unheard of. I would love to study it if you’re willing to part with it,” Zhao Tianyi explained.

 

“Master Zhao, your words are inappropriate, aren’t they? The rice paper and ink are from the Mayor, and this is the Mayor’s office. Besides, the four characters ‘Overcome All Obstacles’ were the Mayor’s request. Logically, the calligraphy should belong to the Mayor,” the Mayor’s secretary quickly intervened, fearing that Zhao Tianyi would take the calligraphy.

 

“Xiao Wang, how can you speak to Master Zhao like that?” Mayor Zhang frowned. “If Master Zhao likes it, let him have it. What’s the fuss? Have some magnanimity! Apologize to Master Zhao now!”

 

Upon hearing Mayor Zhang’s words, Zhao Tianyi felt a bit embarrassed for being so eager and waved his hand, saying, “Forget it. It was presumptuous of me. These four characters hold great significance for the Mayor, and it would be wrong for me to take them.”

 

“Master Zhao, you’ve already written one for me. If you really like this one, just take it.”

 

“Thank you for your kindness, but I really can’t take what is not mine. Let’s just leave it.”

 

“Master Zhao, please listen to me and take the calligraphy.”

 

Wen Xue’er watched in disbelief. For a piece of Chen Ping’s calligraphy, the Mayor and the calligraphy master were being so polite to each other. If she hadn’t seen it with her own eyes, she wouldn’t have believed it. 

 

A man like Chen Ping, Su Wanyun lived with him for four years without noticing anything. Su Wanyun’s judgment was truly poor.

 

This was for the best; Su Wanyun divorced Chen Ping, and now she had a chance.

 

Wen Xue’er was overjoyed inside.

 

At this moment, Chen Ping suddenly spoke, “It’s just a piece of calligraphy. What’s there to argue about? I’ll just write another one.”

 

“Huh?” Hearing this, both Mayor Zhang and Zhao Tianyi looked at Chen Ping simultaneously. “Young friend, are you serious?”

 

“Yes!” Chen Ping nodded.

 

“What are we waiting for? Secretary Wang, quickly put this calligraphy away, send it to the Ministry of Culture for framing, and bring another piece of rice paper for young friend Chen to write a new one for Master Zhao,” Mayor Zhang ordered excitedly.

 

Chen Ping: “…”

 

As expected of the Mayor, his outward demeanor was impeccable.

 

Shaking his head, Chen Ping didn’t mind. Soon, the Mayor’s secretary brought a new piece of rice paper and laid it out on the table.

 

“What characters would Master Zhao like?” Chen Ping asked.

 

“How about ‘What More to Seek in Life’?” Zhao Tianyi suggested.

 

“Those are good characters,” Mayor Zhang praised. “Young friend, please begin!”

 

“Yes, young friend, please bestow us with your work!” Zhao Tianyi respectfully invited Chen Ping.

 

“Knock, knock!”

 

At that moment, there was a knock on the door.

 

“Come in.”

 

Hearing Mayor Zhang’s voice, a middle-aged man holding a document walked in. As soon as he entered, he noticed Zhao Tianyi, Mayor Zhang, and the Mayor’s secretary all respectfully looking at a young man…
