Traveling through the Republic of China to become a special agent, the system is very easy for me

Su Xiwu's favorite running script is Wang Xizhi's "Lanting Xu", which is known as the best running script in the world. After years of copying and studying, Su Xiwu has gained a lot of experience. Yuan Ye praised him for his deep understanding of Wang's style, which made him very happy. At the same time, he also felt that Yuan Ye was a person who knew how to appreciate and should have studied calligraphy.

Yuan Ye's compliments made Su Xiwu feel very happy. He said with a smug look on his face:

"Shi Kai, you're exaggerating a bit, but it seems that you have a good appreciation for calligraphy. I'm sure your handwriting is pretty good. Write one for me to appreciate."

"Teacher, I only know a little bit. I can't compare with your calligraphy, so there's no need to show off."

Su Xiwu did not feel anything was wrong with Yuan Ye's humility. The entire city government was full of talented people, but Su Xiwu believed that no one's calligraphy could surpass his. Yuan Ye was still very young, and even if he had practiced calligraphy, his attainments should be far from his own.

"It doesn't matter. There are no outsiders here. Just write a picture here and let me have a look. We can learn from each other."

Seeing Su Xiwu's insistence, Yuan Ye stopped being humble. In fact, his humility was just a show. He also wanted Su Xiwu to see his level. So he bowed and said:

"Teacher, I am just showing off my skills in front of an expert."

After that, he spread out a piece of rice paper, picked up the brush, dipped it in ink, thought for a moment, and then wrote it in one stroke. After finishing, he put the brush on the pen stand next to him and said respectfully:

"I'm sorry for my poor performance. Please give me some advice, teacher."

Su Xiwu smiled and nodded. He walked closer and saw that it was also a work of running script, with four large characters written on it:

"The truth is simple."

Su Xiwu was amazed when he saw it.

These words are free and unrestrained, with long waves and big hooks, ups and downs, twists and turns, and full of charm. They are as good as Xizhi's "Lanting Preface" and almost as good as Yan's "Sacrificial Essay for My Nephew". It is truly a masterpiece!

Su Xiwu's smile immediately disappeared, and he felt that the calligraphy he had just written was immediately dwarfed by the others. He secretly sighed in his heart, this person is so young, but his calligraphy attainments are even better than mine!

Yuan Ye knew that he had reached the level of a calligrapher, but he didn't know what level a real calligrapher was at. After writing these words, he was completely amazed.

Su Xiwu exclaimed:

"You are really young and promising. Your calligraphy is extraordinary and a rare masterpiece. I never thought that after studying calligraphy for so many years, I am not as good as a young man like you. I am really ashamed."

"Teacher, you don't have to be so modest, or you will embarrass your students."

Yuan Ye said respectfully.

"I'm not being too modest. It's true. Your calligraphy is so advanced. I wonder who your teacher is? He must be a famous calligrapher."

Su Xiwu was very curious.

Yuan Ye smiled secretly in his heart. He was attending an interest class and the teachers were all unknown little-known figures. There were no famous teachers. His abilities were completely given by the system. Naturally, he couldn't tell Su Xiwu about this.

"Teacher, I have been learning calligraphy since I was young. To be honest, I don't have any famous teachers to guide me. I just like to study on my own. Besides, my handwriting is not as good as the teacher's."

"Shi Kai, what is your teacher's name?"

Su Xiwu naturally didn't believe it and asked.

"Ji Zixing."

Yuan Ye mentioned the teacher of his interest class, but Su Xiwu probably had never heard of him.

"Ji Zixing?"

Su Xiwu shook his head in confusion. He thought he knew many great calligraphers, but he had never heard of this person. He believed Yuan Ye's words, which showed that this young man was extremely talented and had a strong understanding. He was not simple at all. He looked at Yuan Ye with a new respect, and Yuan Ye's status in his heart was much higher.

Su Xiwu said in a more cordial tone:

"Shi Kai, come sit with me when you have nothing to do and learn calligraphy. I'll introduce you to a friend of mine when I was a student at Waseda University in Japan. His name is Iwai Yuichi, the vice consul of the Japanese Consulate General in Shanghai and the owner of the Iwai Mansion. He studied at the Shanghai East Asia School when he was young. He likes Chinese culture, especially Chinese calligraphy and Go, and has a high level of attainment. I believe he will be very happy to meet you."

Yuan Ye was secretly delighted. This was exactly what he had been wanting. If he could get close to the head of this spy agency, perhaps he could obtain more valuable information in the future.

Yuan Ye did not show his joy, but said with an uneasy look:

"Consul Iwai is a big shot. He is so good at calligraphy. How could I catch his eye?"

"Don't be too modest. His level may not be higher than yours. I will take you to learn from him next time. He has always been conceited. Let him experience the level of my students."

Su Xiwu laughed out loud after he finished speaking.

"I will never embarrass the teacher."

Yuan Ye also said with a smile.

"I just started working here. Are you getting used to it? Are you busy?"

Su Xiwu changed the subject and asked about Yuan Ye's work.

"I'm not busy. Section Chief Chai asked me to familiarize myself with the work. The other people in the section are quite busy."

"What are you busy with?"

It seemed that Su Xiwu asked casually, but in fact Yuan Ye knew Su Xiwu's intention. He was trying to find out about Fu Quanan's movements indirectly. After all, the Secretary Section was directly serving Fu Quanan.

In order to further gain Su Xiwu's trust, Yuan Ye decided to tell him what Fu Quan'an had arranged.

"Mayor Fu requires that the houses and businesses in the concession are not allowed to hang the blue sky and white sun flag, but must hang the five-color flag of the reform government, so he asked Corey to draft a circular and submit it to the concession authorities in the next few days. Teacher, don't you know about this?"

Yuan Ye asked this question deliberately to provoke Su Xiwu. A secretary general, second only to the president of the municipal government, didn't even know about this matter. Wouldn't that make people laugh?

He just wanted to stir up Su Xiwu's anger towards Fu Quan'an. Once the anger reached the critical point, it would explode, and Su Xiwu might even attack Fu Quan'an. Moreover, his backer Iwai Yuichi was going to be the consul general soon, so Su Xiwu would definitely be ready to make a move.

Fu Quan'an was a person whom the Military Control Commission wanted to get rid of as soon as possible, but the security was too tight and they never had the chance to do so.

It would be best if we could use Su Xiwu to get rid of the traitor Fu Quan'an.

After hearing what Yuan Ye said, Su Xiwu looked embarrassed, but it disappeared in an instant.

"It's just a small matter, why should I know about it?"

Su Xiwu said it seemingly calmly. In fact, his hatred for Fu Quan'an was once again aroused in his heart. This hatred had been buried in his heart for a long time, and Yuan Ye was just exposing his scars.

A few months ago, Fu Quan'an took away his mayoral throne, which was a great humiliation for someone like him who was greedy for power.

What can a gentleman endure? But he believed that to achieve great things, one must endure what ordinary people cannot endure. Gou Jian slept on firewood and tasted gall to destroy Wu, and Han Xin endured humiliation under the crotch to achieve the kingship. He often used these two people to warn himself, so he endured it, because he was waiting for an opportunity, and now this opportunity is about to come.

He needs to get ready.
