Chapter 609: Chapter 264: Professional Freeloader_2
The ethnic track had begun with Li Ziqi and had developed vigorously. It started entering an explosive phase with the 144-hour transit visa exemption policy and began spreading worldwide. Su Huai had naturally followed this development.
Today, he was prepared to spend money to find a Yunjin master.
"Hello, I am looking for Director Liu. My surname is Su, and I have an appointment."
The guard made a phone call and quickly allowed him inside.
Su Huai arrived at the office of the deputy director, who had opened the door wide and was already waiting at the entrance.
"Eh? Are you... Mr. Su?"
"Yes, Director Liu, it’s a pleasure."
Su Huai stepped forward and shook hands with the slightly bewildered Director Liu. n𝚘𝚟𝚙𝚞𝚋.𝚌o𝚖
"Ah! Mr. Su, please have a seat, please sit down!"
After sitting down, they exchanged pleasantries for a while. Su Huai got straight to the point, "Director Liu, I particularly like the Yunjin art from Jinling. Seeing Teacher Zhou winning honors for our country in Milan excited me beyond words!
I have limited abilities, but I am also willing to do my part to protect and pass on our cultural heritage. Could you give me an account number? I’ll transfer the donation right away..."
Director Liu was willing to meet with Su Huai because of this matter.
If it weren’t for the 2 million donation that Su Huai promised, who would have the patience to deal with this childlike behavior?
Director Liu’s expression suddenly became very pleasant, enthusiastic, joyful, gratified, satisfied...
He exclaimed sentimentally, "Good, good! Our young people in Huaxia are starting to value cultural heritage and ethnic arts. This makes me happier than any amount of money. Thank you, Mr. Su. Your support has instantly revitalized my confidence in Yunjin!"
Seizing the moment, Su Huai asked, "Would I have the honor to meet Teacher Zhou Shuangxi?"
"Of course, no problem!"
Without a second thought, Director Liu agreed, "Old Zhou would surely feel gratified to see such youthful energy, wouldn’t he?"
Hehe, mission accomplished!
Yes, Su Huai had paid such a high price just to meet Zhou Shuangxi.
Teacher Zhou is the foremost person in the Yunjin heritage, not only renowned internationally but also a cultural master of the entire Jiangsu Province.
Such a status, combined with his perennial efforts on the front lines, truly made him a difficult person to meet.
Moreover, his works were not sold outside; the Yunjin Research Institute only sold ordinary Yunjin fabrics, which were exceptionally good but clearly did not meet Su Huai’s standards.
After a roundabout solution, the difficulty was easily overcome, and Su Huai effortlessly met Teacher Zhou Shuangxi.
"Teacher Zhou, hello hello, student Su Huai, I have taken the liberty to visit to pay my respects and bow to you!"
Su Huai was particularly observant of etiquette, bowing deeply, hurrying forward, and slightly bending as he extended both hands...
It wasn’t just to purchase his works, but also from a genuine admiration for the master.
The resurgence of Yunjin could not be separated from Teacher Zhou’s dedication, nor from his tireless pursuit.
An art that was nearly lost had been grandly revived by him, and no amount of praise or respect for this venerable old man could be considered excessive.
Teacher Zhou was a humble person. While Su Huai showed deep respect, he did not accept it outright.
Moving slightly aside, he quickly supported Su Huai, smiling gratifiedly, "No, no, I should be honoring you instead, Su. Thank you for your support for Yunjin art, which lets me see new hope in the new generation..."
Gou Huai usually didn’t resort to flattery, but when he did, it was truly lethal.
"Teacher Zhou, I especially admire your innovative thinking, taking Yunjin beyond our borders, allowing our magnificent Huaxia cultural treasure to shock and awe the Western powers once again after centuries, and making the whole world recognize what Huaxia luxury means. You have boosted our national prestige and strengthened our confidence; it’s truly wonderful!"
Teacher Zhou, often flattered, blushed a bit today.
Mainly because he had never been flattered by such a young kid before; the kid was so handsome, just like Yunjin.
So beautiful, with big eyes clear as day, full of admiration and affection, oh, unbearable!
"Enough, enough, it’s not that exaggerated..."
Teacher Zhou hurriedly waved his hand in modesty, but his favorability rating instantly maxed out, and he was about to take Su Huai to visit the exhibits.
"Come, Su, let me show you our institute’s treasures!"
Most of Teacher Zhou’s work was collected in various major museums, and the institute didn’t have any top-tier items like dragon robes or huge masterpieces, but it still greatly broadened Su Huai’s horizons.
Seeing Yunjin up close in reality, it was damn beautiful.
Its color brilliant and splendid, as beautiful as clouds in the sky, immediately giving off an aura of ’luxury.’
—luxurious in terms of splendor, not in terms of money.
Su Huai thought: How beautiful would Gu look if she wore a horse-face skirt made of this?
Indeed, the gift that Su Huai thought of in a moment of inspiration was Hanfu.
In this era, Hanfu was just starting to emerge but hadn’t yet established a broad base and was considered ’exotic attire.’
Generally, girls who loved beauty would choose Lolita fashion more often.
Su Huai had specifically searched online yesterday, and there was almost no discussion about horse-face skirts, but the fights over Lolita fashion easily had thousands of layers of comments.
The horse-face skirt, as the most classic women’s wear of the Ming and Qing dynasties, had completely vanished in the present day, only to be rediscovered by Hanfu enthusiasts years later, sparking a craze that couldn’t be stopped.
It could be magnificent, cool, or even aloof, almost described as versatile.
Gu couldn’t wear a Tang suit; she just couldn’t pull off that kind of gorgeous and charming temperament, but Pei Shuyu certainly could.
