Chapter 730: 289 The Old Ancestor Leading Their Cause Returns (Second Update)_2
He had played mahjong with Ji Heng a couple days ago, probing for information in a roundabout way.
But he didn’t get any news about Bai Lian and her mastery of the Liang style.
“You needn’t worry too much,” Lao Hu said, choosing his words to comfort, “Miss Bai always has her own way of thinking. Plus, our foreign friends don’t understand our characters. At most, it’s the fans of the Liang style who might have a few more things to say.”
Director Jian also considered that Bai Lian was not a person to act impulsively, especially because…
He had been wondering for a long time whether Bai Lian could use the spear, so could she possibly master the Liang style calligraphy?
That’s why he didn’t reject her when he first saw Bai Lian’s name.

The immense indoor plaza of Cultural Square.
The floor inside the plaza was entirely covered with a red carpet, hosting countless small exhibition stands for calligraphy and paintings, and the central sunken stage area was where the opening ceremony would take place.
All around the stage, fresh peonies and plum blossoms were set up, with pink and red peonies blooming in a gorgeous display of cold elegance and nobility.
There were journalists packed on both sides.
Only four rows of seating, ten in each row, were for foreign guests and VIPs.
Of the Beicheng Writers’ Association, only Zhou Wennan had the privilege to sit in the back row to spectate, while other Beicheng folks, like the journalists, stood around the perimeter.
The Jian family members naturally did the same.
But—
The Jian family members, with their sharp eyes, spotted a young man sitting next to Zhou Wennan in the back row.
“Master,” the old man who followed Jian Zhonghai whispered in shock, “how is young master Jian Zhe sitting there?”
The eyes of the Jian family were all fixed on the central exhibition stage.
At the old man’s mention, they then noticed that the label stuck behind the first seat from the left in the back row bore just two characters—
Jian Zhe.
From the beginning with Director Shu to the present, the Jian family members were becoming desperately curious to know why this was happening.
To be seated here, one must be a master in the field of calligraphy, or someone with significant influence among calligraphers. Jian Zhe… he had no relation to any of this, right?
Old Master Chen was seated in the center of the first row, with orderly media taking photos and filming the entire event.
Bodyguards stood at the sides of the first row.
Outside the cordon, police with weapons were maintaining order.
With Old Master Chen personally attending today, the number of reporters coming and going was double that of yesterday.
