Chapter 684: Chief!!
g handed them each a slip of paper one after another.Just as Hao Ren thought that the parent-teacher meeting would end then, Luo Ying returned to her desk and suddenly said, "The important points abou...Chapter 684: Leader!!
The principal, who had just returned from an educational forum abroad, arrived.
No sooner had he returned to the school than someone reported to him that one of the school's clubs was holding an activity and had occupied an entire floor of the library, seriously affecting students' access to it.
Since it was raining today, there should not be many students at the library borrowing books. However, describing its impact as seriously affecting students' use of the library might be exaggerated; nevertheless, given that the library is a crucial building on campus, it's generally not used for individual clubs' activities, so he decided to personally look into the matter. As luck would have it, he encountered Lu Qing rushing there in anger and called out to him.
The school has always adopted an encouraging attitude towards club development and supports students engaging in diverse extracurricular activities.
For this reason, the principal never supported large clubs that merely pursue numbers. He wanted students to actively participate in club activities and expand their unique skills instead of simply being pulled into a hollow organization.
Hence, when he heard that it was a newly established 500-member large club holding an activity inside the library, his mood soured even further.
This was sheer nonsense! Gathering over five hundred students and occupying the entire library!
In the principal's mind, he preferred clubs like Lu Qi's Go Club, which, although small in scale, was a distinctive high-quality club maintaining top-notch standards domestically. Occasionally, when he was feeling good, he would drop by for a game or two.
He marched furiously into the main entrance of the library, only to be greeted with a framed calligraphy piece of Tang poetry - "Ascending the Stork Tower."
The sun sets behind the mountains; the river flows to the sea. To see a thousand miles further, climb another storey.
Twenty large yet powerful characters struck his eyes like a waterfall cascading from the hanging scroll, immediately arresting his steps.
“Excellent! What great calligraphy!”
The principal couldn't help but exclaim aloud and clap hard, almost forgetting to enter.
This framed piece of calligraphy hung at the entrance like a traditional courtyard screen wall, warding off ill omens from outside; although it was suspended with silk threads, there was an imposing presence about it!
The principal studied it for several seconds but couldn't fully appreciate its depth. Suddenly spotting Lu Qing standing beside him, he cleared his throat and sidestepped past the calligraphy towards the hall.
“This...”
The principal's eyes had just started to glow when his mind was completely stunned.
The hall was adorned with hundreds of elegant and flowing calligraphy pieces, making it seem like stepping into a paradise for calligraphy lovers!
"This is the玄秘塔碑! This is...the多寶塔碑!"
After examining several pieces, the principal's legs were nearly rooted to the spot. If not for the fact that these papers were new and had dates and names written at the bottom, he would have suspected that they were rubbings directly from the original steles!
The library was warm and cozy; the calligraphy pieces hung at various heights, at least several dozen centimeters off the ground, vividly displayed around the principal.
Just by slightly moving his body, the principal's movements caused the air to stir, making these works of art gently rotate as if they were floating in mid-air!
"Does the principal mean for them to move this exhibition elsewhere" Lu Qing asked.
"No, no!" The principal suddenly snapped back to reality and vigorously shook his head. "Let it be here! Let it stay right here!"
He was so excited that he almost wanted to shout out loud.
The newly established club turned out to be a calligraphy society! As the principal, he never would have imagined there were so many talented calligraphers in his school!
If not for these students forming a calligraphy society, how could their passion and talent converge How could they showcase their abilities
The principal was deeply fond of Chinese traditional culture. He enjoyed both Go (weiqi) and calligraphy. But he never would have thought that in an era when most students no longer used brush pens to write, his Donghai University still harbored so many talented students gifted with calligraphic skills!
No...this wasn't just a matter of talent; these were calligraphy prodigies and masters!
The principal's eyes, not young anymore, sparkled with intense excitement. He grabbed Lu Qing's wrist: "Who set up this society"
"It was initiated by Hao Ren," Lu Qing replied with a smile.
Hearing the name "Hao Ren", the principal suddenly recalled that he was none other than Hao Zhonghua and Yue Yang’s son!
The incident of the fight in which Hao Ren had been disciplined still left an impression on him. At the time, since he wasn't in Donghai City, he hadn’t gotten to know the details; he'd handed over the matter to Lu Qing for handling. He never would have thought that this Hao Ren would establish a calligraphy society!
Just as he was stunned by this revelation, it suddenly struck him—the Tang poem displayed at the entrance had been labeled with Hao Ren's name.
It's no wonder that Hao Yuan's son has such talents! Seeing that the principal was tightly gripping Lu Qing's wrist, he quickly let go and immediately put on a calm expression.
"Hehe, Hao Ren is indeed quite talented. However, as they say, big trees attract wind; many students are envious of him..." said Lu Qing.
"We must support this kind of club! It represents the spiritual height of our students!" The principal immediately stood up straight and declared.
Just when his gaze flickered slightly, he suddenly noticed Zhao Guang in "Forest of Calligraphy".
The principal was taken aback; he didn't expect that this school's club activities would attract Zhao Guang to come over. Zhao Guang’s Tomorrow Group had provided a lot of sponsorship for Donghai University, especially the new campus which was almost entirely funded by him.
Zhao Guang could visit Donghai University anytime due to his status, but given his busy schedule, he usually wouldn't come. This time, however, Zhao Guang came on his own accord, causing some alarm in the principal.
However, the principal quickly thought that Zhao Guang and Hao Zhonghua had a good relationship. If Zhao Guang came to check out Hao Ren's club activities, it was probably just out of concern for his "nephew"...
The principal felt a sudden pang in his heart... He was glad he personally came over rather than having someone cancel the event.
Ring-ring!
The sound of the dismissal bell rang outside.
Students immediately gathered on the square in front of the library. Although Hao Ren's club activities were not promoted at all, mainly using the library space to gather members and facilitate communication among them.
However, some students still managed to get word of it and came over for a look. Zhao Jiayin and Zhou Liren just got up from their dorm room right around this time and decided to drop by.
"Holy cow! Hao Ren's handwriting is so beautiful!"
Even before Zhou Liren appeared, his distinctive loud voice could be heard outside the library door.
He entered from the entrance, about to continue shouting when he saw both principals looking at him; he quickly covered his mouth with both hands and ducked down.
Following them in were some students who had just dismissed class or were on their way to another one, coming over to see the calligraphy club's activities.
When they saw these densely packed nearly a thousand pieces of calligraphy works, they were thoroughly stunned; they had never seen so many works of calligraphy in their lives!
Hao Ren's club has over 500 members. In order to enrich their first showcase, most of the members wrote more than two pieces of calligraphy based on their personal characteristics.
Although these dragon cultivators live in cities, they have not forgotten how to write with a brush. Especially for those "young cultivators" who just came out from the mountains, they are already over 100 or even 200 years old!
In history, no calligrapher has lived such a long life! But this is still considered young age for dragon cultivators.
Such level of calligraphy skill naturally can be compared with the masters in history!
Zhao Jiayin looked up at these pieces of hanging calligraphy, which resembled wind chimes. His mouth was wide open as if an egg could fit inside.
He didn't expect that Hao Ren's recruited club members were so powerful! He originally wanted to join Hao Ren’s club for fun but now he sees how dare he hang out with them!
In addition to Zhao Jiayin, the other students' expressions also filled with shock.
Who would have thought that their classmates or roommates could write such impressive calligraphy! There are experts among us all!
Even those who know nothing about calligraphy can feel how formidable these works of art are!
The publicity effect quickly spread... Regardless of whether they liked calligraphy or not, hanging over a thousand pieces in the grand library hall was already a shocking beauty!
Whoosh! Whoosh! The drizzle turned into heavy rain.
But this couldn't dampen the students' enthusiasm. They carried umbrellas or wore raincoats and came to see how magnificent the library was!
In no time, the bustling scene in the library far surpassed last week's personal painting exhibition of Jiang Yuan at the art building!
Among the students coming here to visit were also many female students from the Art College. Some students majoring in Chinese Painting had to practice calligraphy anyway; when they saw Hao Ren’s and his members' works, they instantly admired him very much!
This was the level of a master!
Handsome and talented with leadership skills… They regretted not pursuing him before!
Now seeing Hao Ren wearing a white shirt standing among elegant calligraphy pieces, chatting and laughing with the principal and vice-principal, they felt... Huang Xujie was trash compared to him!
"Hahaha... Chairman, sorry I'm late..." Xu Ke, who wore sports clothes and had messy hair, walked through the hall to Hao Ren. He said shyly.ghting here wasn't very bright and she avoided being noticed by 郝仁.She swiftly retracted her hand and somewhat awkwardly said, "Uncle Three, how do you know I'm here""Who is Uncle Three It's not hard...
