Charming Little Demon Lord

Chapter 430 - 428: So What If I Deceived You


Indeed, this is the last line of wild cursive calligraphy written by Su Chen.


He wrote five characters.


Do not bully the poor just because they're young!


Thirty years on the west bank of the river, thirty years on the east, do not bully the poor just because they're young.


This line once appeared in a wildly popular web novel.


It was the innermost cry of a young man.


Although this web novel was not the first place where this line was used.


It resonated with countless young people harboring dreams, unwilling to settle for mediocrity.


Now, Su Chen is that young man.


He seems to be just a small company employee.


Perhaps reaching the position of sales manager would already be his limit in this life.


But...


Who can definitively say that he will only be a salesman for life?


Only a sales manager?


Do not bully the poor just because they're young!


He is still young, with plenty of time, he can do many things.


Maybe, in the near future, he will be an existence that everyone present looks up to.


Of course, this is just what these people present are thinking.


In reality, Su Chen is already a man to be admired.


He didn't write these five characters to show off.


But to help Qin Keren.


After all, he is only pretending to be Qin Keren's boyfriend.


It's even less likely that he will marry Qin Keren.


In the future, Qin Keren will still face such situations.


He wants to use these five characters to tell these influential relatives of Qin Keren.


Not to look down on any young person.


Qin Keren looked at Su Chen somewhat absentmindedly.


She only hoped that Su Chen could write a good piece of calligraphy that would impress her father.


But she did not expect Su Chen to perform so brilliantly.


Directly astonishing everyone.


"What a pity, what a pity, if it weren't for this line, this painting would definitely sell for a high price!"


Yet some felt regret.


After all, by adding this line, Su Chen had disrupted the overall atmosphere of the calligraphy work.


Moreover, it was tantamount to telling others directly that this work was a replica.


"That may not be the case, I think, because of this line, it could actually help the painting sell for a high price!"


"That's true, if people knew the reason and environment this piece of calligraphy came into existence, perhaps some major collectors would spend a lot of money to buy it, especially female collectors! They are the most sentimental."


Female collectors are indeed very sentimental. The things they collect not only have historical significance but often, there is a heartbreaking or beautifully romantic story behind them.


And this piece of calligraphy by Su Chen.


Its time of creation, place, and scene, were enough to move some female collectors.


"What a powerful statement, 'Do not bully the poor just because they're young'!" After a long silence, even Qin Youwei nodded heavily.


His gaze towards Su Chen had changed.


No longer with the contempt and disdain from before.


It had become solemn.


Someone who could write such a piece has the right to say 'Do not bully the poor just because they're young'.


After all, not just anyone has the right to say this.


Only those young people with talent and ability, who just haven't had their breakthrough yet, deserve to say it.


Ordinary People saying this would indeed be just seeking attention.


Su Chen had conquered him with his ability.


"Old Qin, didn't expect it, did you? That you could misjudge someone," laughed one of Qin Keren's uncles.


Qin Youwei's gaze fell on Su Chen.


At this moment, Qin Keren was absolutely nervous.


Because what Qin Youwei was about to say was practically deciding her life.


If she had to choose between a man from Dongyin and Su Chen, without a doubt, Qin Keren would rather choose Su Chen.


Qin Youwei and Su Chen looked at each other for a full minute.


Finally, he slowly spoke, "Do not bully the poor just because they're young? So what if I bully?"


So what if I bully?


Indeed, in Qin Youwei's eyes, Su Chen was a promising prospect.


Even a genius.


But what of a genius?


If they haven't grown up yet, they are of no use.


Moreover, in today's era, calligraphy has ultimately declined.


What's valuable are only those masterpieces passed down from ancient times.


Su Chen writes well, one work might sell for millions.


But as a contemporary calligrapher, he won't be taken seriously.


Maybe at first, one work could sell for millions.


But later, no one will care.


After all, many collectors, when collecting calligraphy and paintings, are concerned not just with how well the works are written.


But with the creator's identity.


Like Tang Bohu, Wang Xizhi and others.


Hearing the name, everyone knows.


Su Chen?


Who recognizes him?


Or rather, only after Su Chen becomes a renowned calligrapher known throughout the country will he have the qualifications to be taken seriously by Qin Youwei.


But how long will that take?


Ten years? Twenty years?


So, he said.


Do not bully the poor just because they're young, but I'll bully anyway, so what?


Qin Keren was frozen.


She didn't expect that, even with Su Chen performing so excellently, he still didn't receive her father's recognition.


"Calligraphy, after all, is a thing of the past. Relying on such a small skill to marry my daughter, you're far from good enough!" Qin Youwei, with his hands behind his back, spoke with a superior tone.


"Oh? Then, uncle, what do you think I should do to marry Keke?" Su Chen asked calmly.


Qin Youwei glanced over Su Chen, tauntingly saying, "Young man, I admit, I underestimated you. But alas, it's still not enough."


"If uncle has any conditions, just state them," Su Chen said unpretentiously.


"Good, lad, you've got guts, so I'll be straightforward. The person that Keke is to marry, that's someone who can bring huge benefits to our family business. As long as Keke marries into that family, our clan's strength will double! Can you do that?" taunted Qin Youwei.


"I can't do that," answered Su Chen.


Qin Youwei shook his head.


"Since you can't do it, stop pestering my daughter. As a member of the family, it is her duty to make some small sacrifices for the family!"


"See the guest out!" Qin Youwei finished speaking, seemingly not wanting to say more to Su Chen, and waved his hand.


Actually, he quite appreciated Su Chen.


After all, Su Chen knew calligraphy.


Too bad he was born in this profit-oriented era, and everything was destined.


"Mom, can you please persuade Dad? I really don't want to marry someone from Dongyin..." Qin Keren pleaded, looking towards her mother.


A look of reluctance flashed across Qin's mother's face, but she did not speak.


She was also helpless.


After all, this wasn't something she could decide.


If Qin Youwei wanted to continue to be the Clan Leader, then Qin Keren must marry into that family.


"Young man, why aren't you leaving?" Qin Youwei realized that Su Chen had not left.


A smile curved at the corner of Su Chen's mouth as he said: "Indeed, I cannot double the strength of the Qin Family, but I can increase it two-fold! Even four-fold!"
