Chapter 505: The National Scholar
Ever since Myriad Mountain Embroiderer had replied to the seller called S, he’d been in an excited state.
He sent a message to his marketing group, saying that his popularity would rise again.
The other party was too stupid. Not only did they not know how to pretend to be dead, but they also jumped up to fight against him.
What good would it do to fight back? At that time, they would only be attacked by his fans until their Weibo account was removed. This was not the first time it had happened.
There were other marketing accounts in the group who asked him, “You are so confident, and the other party’s voice is also quite strong. If their embroidery is real, won’t you be finished? You even used your account as a bet. Why so impulsive?”
Myriad Mountain Embroiderer replied sarcastically, “You think too much. Even if you are not in this industry, you should still have some common sense. Do you know what Tang Embroidery is? It’s simply a non-existent thing. After it has disappeared for hundreds of years, you tell me how someone can use it now. Who are you kidding? I’ve already asked the Embroidery Union. They clearly said that no one has a successor for Tang Embroidery. This person is just putting on an act. They’re just bragging and struggling.”
Hence, he felt that the outcome was decided.
Initially, he thought that it would be good if the topic became popular. Unexpectedly, at noon, a talent show singer named Su Cha suddenly liked S’s Weibo.
Myriad Mountain Embroiderer knew Su Cha. She was one of the top ten contestants in the recent popular talent show Dreams in Progress. She was very popular among the contestants. Although he was a little surprised to see her Like this, he was undoubtedly even more excited. Wasn’t this popularity achieved for nothing?
It saved him the money to buy trending searches!
Celebrities were indeed powerful. With just a Like, they brought this topic to the trending searches.
Besides, it would have been fine if she had just liked him, but she had chosen the phrase where S had asked him to wait for it. This made Myriad Mountain Embroiderer feel disgusted. This female celebrity had no intelligence. She was simply sending herself to be mocked.
However, he considered how the other party had had rumors about her spread on Weibo last time. It was said that the person who spread the rumors was still in the midst of being sued. It was said that they had to bear some responsibility.
The embroiderer thought of the other party’s fans and did not make a move.
When the dust settled, he would secretly post on Weibo about a female star, Diss.
The development of the matter was beyond the expectation of Myriad Mountain Embroiderer. Throughout the afternoon, the trending topic became more and more popular, directly reaching number one.
Although the higher the popularity, the more it could make him popular, he had a subtle feeling in his heart, but he could not explain why that was.
More importantly, a true nationalist master in the embroidery world finally came out to support him.
Wu Kailan @S: “Young one, don’t speak nonsense. Tang embroidery is a treasure in our country’s history. Even though it has been lost, it cannot be made use of as a joke. This is a blasphemy against national treasures. I’ve watched your video. Even the needlework is not standard. How can you embroider a perfect work?”
Who was Wu Kailan?
He was a famous embroidery master in China, a male.
He was good at embroidery and had the reputation of a master embroiderer. What that meant was that what he embroidered was like a painting.
Of course, his status was not comparable to the peak of Cloud Embroidery like the Cloud Ancestor, but he was still quite famous.
As soon as he came out, this matter went out of control and exploded.
The center of the debate was still S and Myriad Mountain Embroiderer. As only a Liker, Su Cha was not the center of attention of the gossipy masses who really wanted to see the results of the war. The only ones who really paid attention to her were those loyal anti-fans.
Chapter 506: Fu Mo’s Information
This war also allowed many bystanders to understand some general knowledge about embroidery.
For example, embroidery was divided into many factions: famous cloud embroidery, Xiang embroidery, Shu embroidery, etc…
Embroidery was not just limited to needles. This greatly increased the knowledge of many onlookers.
Su Cha had a basic performance theory class in the afternoon. The teacher in the class was not Jing Yilan, but another famous teacher. Halfway through her lesson, she suddenly changed the topic. “I know that some of the students here have already started to take off. They are not on the same level as others, but I hope that everyone knows what the true meaning of acting is. You are all students of the Imperial Capital University. Other than learning how to act, you also have to be yourself and know how to be a person. Only by acting can you make the audience and others admire you. In the current entertainment industry, some of the trends are very bad. Don’t follow them; those are not examples to learn from.”
Su Cha listened to the class and paused.
Dozens of students in the classroom looked at Su Cha.
Obviously, among the students in this batch, Su Cha was the most famous, which was what the teacher was referring to when she mentioned taking off.
Besides, it’s not like no one was paying attention to what was happening on Weibo.
Their acting department needed to pay attention to the entertainment industry’s dynamics, even if this was not supported by the older generation.
But as for the younger ones, who would not go online?
Everyone knew what Su Cha had done.
The teacher was obviously reminding her. It seemed that she was dissatisfied with her actions.
The teacher only said that much and did not specifically name her. After saying that, she went back to class. Su Cha did not show any expression.
She listened to the teacher’s lecture calmly until class ended.
Fu Mo came to her with a book in her arms. She said timidly, “Classmate Su, I saw what happened online. They bashed you very badly.”
“It’s nothing.”
Su Cha raised her eyebrows, unbothered. “I considered that this would happen when I Liked that post. It’ll blow over.”
Fu Mo was surprised. “Do you know that S?”
Otherwise, why would she give her a Like?
Su Cha shook her head. “No. Just treat it as a mistake.”
Fu Mo nodded. Su Cha said to her, “I’m going back now. What do you want? You don’t have to interfere with what’s happening online. My company knows what to do.”
“Okay.” She was a little hesitant. “The contract said that the salary would be settled from the day of the contract signing, but you didn’t ask me to do anything for you these past few days…”
“You can take whatever salary you want.”
Su Cha smiled lightly. “I already said that I don’t have much to do usually. I have to wait until I finish participating in the competition before I really get busy. Study well for now. If anything happens, I will definitely call you.”
After she said that, Fu Mo stopped talking. After sending Su Cha out of school, she returned to school and prepared to eat dinner at the canteen.
Halfway through, she suddenly received a message.
X: “That person will return home today. The plane will arrive at the airport at 6:30 pm. Go pick that person up and arrange everything. I will go to the Imperial Capital tomorrow.”
Fu Mo bit her lips.
She bit so hard that she seemed about to make herself bleed. She stood at the same spot and looked at the message for a long time.
It was as if she wanted to bore a hole into the phone.
After a few minutes, she put her phone away and turned around to leave the school.
Chapter 507: A Waterdrop’s Kindness Should Be Repaid with a Spring
Returning home, Su Cha saw Bo Muyi in his black pajamas.
It was rare for him to be so lazy before sleeping.
Leaning against the chair in the study room, he rested his forehead on his hand and occasionally typed on the laptop, looking a little casual.
When Su Cha entered the room, he looked over. It was like an ancient and mysterious spell. She felt that there was an unfathomable light in his eyes.
Su Cha put down her bag and walked towards Bo Muyi. “Why are you home today?”
Seeing that she was in a much better mood, Bo Muyi smiled. Su Cha walked over and crossed his legs, sitting directly on him. He had already reached out and gently hugged Su Cha. “I’ve been at home since I woke up. I just woke up.”
Su Cha buried her head in his arms and relaxed. “You sound exhausted.”
“It’s okay.”
Bo Muyi lowered his head and kissed her forehead. “Why are you involved in this?”
As he spoke, he turned the laptop screen and Su Cha glanced over.
It was the Weibo page with the trending search #Su Cha likes S#.
This was a big matter, so how could he not know?
“I…”
Before Su Cha could speak, Bo Muyi chuckled and said, “You are S?”
Su Cha lifted her head slightly and looked at him. Looking into his deep and silent eyes, she blinked. “How did you guess it?”
“I’ve seen you embroidering at home. Cha Cha, do you think I’m blind?”
“Ah… It’s been too long. I forgot.”
As long as Bo Muyi saw her, it would be easy for him to guess that she was S.
“So you want to make this matter as big as possible? Naughty girl.”
There was no impatience in his doting tone.
“Have you thought about how to deal with this person?” Bo Muyi asked her.
He knew that she had a plan, so he did not intervene for the time being.
If this person had fought with Su Cha recklessly, he would have dealt with them long ago.
“Do I need to fix it?”
Su Cha smiled mockingly. “I don’t need to do anything. He was the one who sentenced himself to death. When the time comes, I just need to ask the Chinese Embroidery and Culture Center for an appraisal. My embroidery skills are real.”
“The people at the Cultural Center are all arrogant. You can look for Grandma about this. She knows some people who can help you.”
Su Cha’s eyes lit up. “How do you know?”
Bo Muyi: “She likes those things and has connections with these people.”
This also had something to do with the identity of the Bo family. If it were someone else, would they be able to casually interact with a group of national masters?
The old lady had a good impression of her. With the old lady’s help, this matter would probably be resolved much easier. She thought of an excuse and could not help but smile. “Thank you, Muyi.”
As soon as she finished speaking, she stood up to leave. Bo Muyi immediately reached out and pulled her back, forcing her to turn around again.
The man stared at her. “How are you going to thank me?”
Su Cha kissed his thin lips without hesitation.
Bo Muyi was still pretending to be obedient after a successful bargain. “Not enough.”
Su Cha poked his forehead. “It’s enough that you take advantage of me all the time, and it’s enough for now. Grandma might not agree to it. I’ll thank you properly after I settle this matter.”
Bo Muyi: “… No. A drop of water should be returned with a spring. A kiss is not enough.”
Su Cha: “…”
Did your language teacher tell you that?
Chapter 508: Bribing the Old Madam
Since the old lady had dealings with them, it proved that she liked embroidery.
Su Cha did not expect this. After all, she would not ask about such things when she had nothing to do.
Since she was going to ask the old lady for help, Su Cha had an idea.
It was not difficult for her to make embroidery as soon as possible, but time was too tight. She still had to embroider a piece for the people in the Cultural Center to appraise. After thinking about it, she decided to embroider a handkerchief for the old lady.
The Chinese regarded the peony as a precious flower. Although it was tacky to use it often, it would definitely look good when embroidered.
Hence, Su Cha wanted to make a peony-embroidered handkerchief.
She went to buy a piece of white silk and cut a small piece, which was enough to make a silk handkerchief.
After spending a day in school, Su Cha avoided others to embroider in the classroom alone. When someone came by, she could quickly notice it and pretend to be studying. No one would find it problematic.
After school, the handkerchief was embroidered.
The peony on it looked lifelike, as if it could move with a light breeze.
The color was just right. It was exquisite and beautiful. Beside the peony, there was a blue butterfly dancing.
The white handkerchief was dazzling.
It looked very expensive.
After putting away the handkerchief, Su Cha went to the old lady after school.
The old lady was sitting in the Lookout Pavilion, drinking tea leisurely. She was surprised to see Su Cha.
“Oh, you have time to visit me today?”
Su Cha smiled. “Grandma, can’t I come to see you?”
The old lady smiled gently. “You don’t visit unless you need something. Tell me, what’s the matter?”
She raised her hand and asked the servant to brew a cup of tea for Su Cha.
Su Cha did not beat around the bush and smiled. “I can’t hide it from you, Grandma.”
As she spoke, she took out a carefully packaged wooden box and handed it to the old lady.
The old lady was a little surprised to see her taking out the box. “Why are you giving me this?”
Su Cha held her cheeks and smiled. “Didn’t Grandma say that I don’t visit unless I need something? Of course, I have to bribe you before I ask you to do anything.”
“You child…”
Her straightforward teasing made the old lady feel better. If Su Cha had dilly-dallied, the old lady might not have had the patience. She could just speak directly without beating around the bush.
Although she was surprised that Su Cha would seek her help, the old lady still took the box and pressed the button on it. The box opened.
The neatly folded handkerchief was in the box. The old lady looked at it and took out the handkerchief.
It had not been opened yet, but she saw that the material was good. It was high-quality white silk, but it was a basic item for them.
However, when the old lady opened the handkerchief and saw the peony and butterfly pattern on it, her eyes flashed with amazement.
She seemed to be surprised. She carefully touched the needle and thread on it and looked at it for a long time. She could not help but say lovingly, “Master Yun’s new work? But the style doesn’t seem to be the same. Which master’s new work is it? And how did you get it?”
The Cloud Ancestor was the pinnacle representative of Yun Xiu. The old lady’s tone suggested she was familiar with that person. It was obvious that she was on good terms with the other party. Su Cha did not mind and smiled. “Grandma, you are overthinking. I embroidered this handkerchief myself. I want to ask you for help, and it has something to do with it.”
