Super Rich Man by kiang Chapter 89

I am Mr. Luke

It seemed that Kyle attached great importance to this calligrapher, Martin.

Otherwise, he would not be promoting it to Carlo.

All the people from the calligraphy circle were present, even Carlo were here; he nodded and replied, “Yes. After dinner, ask the waiter to bring us a table and let the little brother to write a word on the spot.”

Carlo was also interested on calligraphy and painting. He said that if this young man introduced by Kyle have a good talent on calligraphy, he would even allow the boy to learn more under him.

At this time, Martin was excited and his adrenaline surged up.

“This is a great opportunity! If I can get to Carlo’s good side, then I can have a backing inside the Jones Family!”

“Calm down, I need to be steady!”

Martin reminded himself not to misbehave again as to not repeat what had happened yesterday.

Now that he’s facing Carlo, he warned himself: ‘we have to be calmer, even when we act, we have to do it discreetly as to not make suspicion’.

On the other hand, Leon was still composed. His heart was tranquil and relaxed, he would not allow other people to easily change his state of mind.

At the wine table, Martin was very lively and was on the limelight.

The crowd gave a toast to Carlo and another one to the young calligrapher; it was not long before the two bottles of wine were consumed.

Leon was not ignorant on social etiquette; he would not put on the airs of a wealthy gentleman and instead acted as an ordinary person.

First, he raised a toast to Carlo; the relationship between the two are naturally good after this period of time spending together.

Then Leon politely went to proposed another toast to the calligrapher Kyle.

However, it was politely declined by Kyle.

Kyle put the glass down and placed it back on the table; he shook his head and said, “I’m sorry. I am little dizzy, so I cannot drink more.”

Let’s just say that Kyle lost an opportunity to brag something in the future.

If he took the glass of wine, he could tell to his future grandsons that their grandfather also had a good time. After drinking the wine offered by the ruthless man, it can be boasted for three generations.

Obviously, Kyle did not take such honor and not seized the opportunity in front of him.

When Martin saw Leon got refused and was embarrassed, he was very proud.

Five minutes later, Martin raised his glass and made a toast to the calligrapher Kyle.

That was a special provocation to Leon, it was telling him that he is more popular than Leon.

To everyone’s surprise, Kyle actually drank it. Five minutes ago, Kyle was still dizzy and refused Leon, but now he didn’t say no to Martin.

Thus, it can be seen that in the eyes of Kyle, the status of Leon was far inferior to that of Martin.

He did not drink Leon’s toast, which means he doesn’t gave Leon face and looks down on him.

It’s obvious that he slapped Leon in the face!

It was obvious on Martin’s eyes, he could not hide his excitement. Coupled with the strength of the wine, blood rushed to his head.

Kyle’s approached was also an affirmation that he attached great importance to Martin’s. This made Martin a little elated.

However, this time Martin was always reminding himself that he must not be so irrational as he was yesterday that in the end, he was set to collapsed.

Now that he has already graduated, he cannot change the story during his schooling days. But today is about his future in the calligraphy world. He has to pay strong attention to his every action and always reminds himself that he should not be careless before being affirmed by Carlo. Martin was secretly overjoyed when he saw Leon looked a little lonely.

Finally, after three rounds of wine, both Carlo and Kyle have eaten and drank well.

“It’s time, Martin. Ask the waiter to fetch a table.” Kyle said to Martin.

There was no need to need to bring the materials needed for calligraphy, Martin already brought it here. He originally intended to show his skill, otherwise how could he find the opportunity to join the provincial calligraphy association; today is a great opportunity to do so, not only to get into the Calligraphy Association, but also to win the appreciation of Carlo. He must show his full skills and strive for success, that was Martin’s aim.

And Leon, who has been sitting on the sidelines knew that Martin was going to show off his skills but he didn’t arouse his desire to compete with him; he didn’t have the slightest mood in his heart.

Was he indifferent to fame and wealth? Does he have no competitive spirit?

‘No, and no!’

Neither of the two!

There was only one reason why he doesn’t want to show his skill.

Leon sat firmly at the wine table and watched Martin show off his calligraphy. This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

The brush, ink, paper and inkstone have been arranged, and Martin had picked up the brush.

Carlo was very focused on watching, he wanted to see if how good was this young man’s calligraphy was, was he really as good as Kyle said?

And Kyle also wanted Martin to be successful, he had planned to train Martin as an apprentice.

He was well aware of Carlo’s position in the cultural circle. So, he knew that if Martin wanted to move up and grow, he needs to perform well today.

“Master Williams, let me write the Landscape paste of Mr. Luke. I like this post very much. It has the strengths of everyone in walking the path of the calligraphy, and it can be called the master of the art of writing.”

Martin brushed confidently and showed his calligraphy skills. He majored in jingle writing, especially “landscape stickers”.

He studied calligraphy for more than ten years but he has practiced “landscape stickers” for four years, which was the longest book post he have ever practiced.

Indeed, Martin’s “landscape paste” was fluently written in one fell swoop.

There was still a long way to go to achieve the charm of the original post, but in the eyes of spectating people, this character was already beautifully written.

After raising the brush, Martin became more confident.

He gave all his skills to that performance, he then returned his tools inside the box and just waiting for praise from Carlo and Kyle.

Kyle examined the post and nodded with satisfaction and praised, “Although there is a gap between this landscape sticker written by Martin and the original, it has already mastered the essence in it. Over time, maybe five or ten years he will certainly be able to achieve something in the field of writing!”

Martin felt proud to be able to recognized by Kyle, but he can’t relax yet until Carlo speaks.

After some time, Carlo spoke, “As Kyle said, there is still a gap between the level of Martin’s and the original work but the walking script written by Martin is already one of the best from his generation. If it is cultivated well, it may reach thirty percent of the skills of the original post made by the Mr. Luke in ten years’ time.”

Hearing Carlo’s praise again, Martin was finally relieved.

To be able to get thirty percent of the skills of the Mr. Luke ten years later was not to be underestimated but to it was something to be proud of.

Because Mr. Luke have always been a legend in modern Chinese calligraphy.

That calligrapher, who was very mysterious came out of the world six years ago; but his name became famous but nobody saw him. He did not take part in any activities in the calligraphy world, so his identity was still a mystery; there was also a rumor that he was a very old man.

However, his calligraphy which have the advantages of all other style of writing have formed its own style. He has not joined any association, but he was a legend known to all in the circle.

If someone can reach fifty percent of the standard of his calligraphy, he would be eligible to join the Kyoto calligraphy Association.

Martin was happy in his heart, he does not mind whether it was thirty percent in ten years or fifty percent in thirty years. As long as he could join the Kyoto calligraphy Association before the age of fifty, it will be a great honor for his family!

“Thank you for Mr. Williams’s and Mr. Kyle’s praises. Calligraphy culture needs to be passed on. I hope I could live up to your expectations before I reach eighties. There is still time and hope in the future. I hope that when I am eighty years old, I can also achieve the attainments of Mr. Luke.”

Martin was high-spirited and feeling smug at the moment

However, Leon looked confused and dumbfounded.

“what the heck! Am I eighty years old? “
