Chapter 733: 290 spears pierce through the wind and waves, holding a pen to test the sharpness_2
But today, she heard something shocking in Dong Xiaobaiâs tone.
âI didnât hear Shaojun and the others mention it,â Dong Xiaobaiâs reaction meant that Bai Lian hadnât made any mistakes this time, which allowed Mu Yining to breathe a sigh of relief, âThen Minister CaiâŠâ
She narrowed her eyes slightly.
The Mu family was keeping a low profile these days, not actively provoking anyone, but not afraid of trouble either. Minister Cai could refuse, but that might prompt Mu Yining to approach someone else.
However, after agreeing and then creating obstacles when the program was truly underway, Mu Yining wouldnât let it go just like that.
Beside them, Dong Chuan was also very surprised. After having dinner at the Mu familyâs home last time, he had heard Dong Xiaobai mentioning Bai Lian.
At that time, he knew that Bai Lian was an outstanding student at Jiang University.
However, it was only today that he found out she was also skilled in calligraphy.
Before he could react, a member of the Calligraphy Association came over, âMr. Dong, the president is looking for you!â
âThe president?â Dong Xiaobai gathered his thoughts, âHeâs looking for me at this time?â
Despite his confusion, Dong Xiaobai told Mu Yining to take Dong Chuan and Ren Wanxuan out for a stroll while he went to the back lounge to meet the president.

The lounge.
When Dong Xiaobai arrived, the president of the Calligraphy Association was standing respectfully on one side, with Minister Cai and others present.
The atmosphere was very quiet.
Only an elderly man was sitting in the chair at the center.
As soon as Dong Xiaobai entered the lounge, he felt the solemn atmosphere and quickly bowed respectfully, greeting, âElder Chen.â
Elder Chen lifted his eyes to ask for his name and his position in the Calligraphy Association.
After a few questions, he finally said, âIs Bai Lian someone your Dong family recommended?â
âShe is also my niece,â Dong Xiaobai said.
âNiece, ah, good, very good. At such a young age to have such strength, to have suchâ Elder Chen looked at him, his gaze much more amiable, âYou all have done an excellent job this time.â
The president of the Calligraphy Association then smiled and spoke up, âNot only that, she herself has brought a lot of attention. Itâs been less than an hour since the event, and the internet is full of her short video clips. Weâve decided to frame her calligraphy and set up a separate booth for her in the center to attract more young visitors to the exhibition.â
In the room, everyone realized that the organizers greatly appreciated Bai Lian.
Of course, among the younger members of the Calligraphy Association, no one else could compare to her.
A group of people were discussing enthusiastically.
The president of the Calligraphy Association remembered Minister Cai and laughed, âLittle Cai, you did well this time too, getting the shots of Bai Lian just right!â
Minister Cai was smiling, but his entire demeanor was rigid.
He had a conflict of interest with the Dong family. With Elder Chen from the Chen family present at this four-nation exchange meeting, if Bai Lian showed even the slightest mistake, or if her writing was just a little poor, causing Elder Chen and the organizers to be slightly dissatisfied, the industry would reassess the Dong family.
He had high hopes and had Cai Xin repeatedly inquire.
Bai Lian hadnât gone to any rehearsals from the beginning, especially since Dong Xiaobai and Mu Yining personally brought gifts to persuade him to reduce Bai Lianâs on-screen presence.
He believed it to be true, unaware that Bai Lianâs calligraphy was not something to hide; rather, it was of the highest quality!
Having more camera shots of Bai Lian made her even more popular.
Now the media were promoting this yearâs âInk Sea Bai Lian.â Who would know there was also Cai Xin, who shared the stage with her, whose writing was not bad either?
He previously waited for a comparison with Bai Lian, hoping to build a reputation for Cai Xin.
If he had known it would turn out this way, he would never have given Bai Lian an extra shot.
Now, not only had he not gained anything, but Mu Yining was not someone to be trifled with. If Bai Lianâs performance on stage hadnât been ideal, the Dong family would have been too busy to deal with their own issues, leaving Mu Yining with little time to cause trouble for them.
But now, not only did she have time, but the Dong family had likely made a good impression on the Chen family as well.
Minister Cai was no longer relaxed; he started looking for someone to contact Mu Yining.

The conference ended.
Qiu Xuezheng got busy with Xiangchengâs small exhibition booth; the Calligraphy Association said they would add another booth for Xiangcheng.
Jian Zhe and Dean Jian walked outside.
He had exams in a few days, and since Qiu Xuezheng didnât assign him any tasks, he needed to familiarize himself with the examination venue at Jiang University.
Dean Jian couldnât find Bai Lian. She didnât reply to his messages, and he asked Jian Zhe where she had gone.
âBai Lian? Well,â Jian Zhe recalled for a moment, âshe has to go to the laboratory with Ning Xiao this afternoon.â
Ning Xiao still had a class in the morning and would go to Academician Maâs laboratory with Bai Lian in the afternoon.
âIs she in such a hurry?â Dean Jian nodded. No wonder she hadnât been responding; she didnât bring her phone into the lab.
