Chapter 478: Patriarch
After signing the contract with Jinyuan Liquor, Lingquan Liquor began to be listed in large quantities, and Jinyuan Liquor knew the potential of Lingquan Liquor and invested a lot of effort.
In less than three days, people who are interested in beer in Longmen know that there is a Lingquan brew with a super taste.
Just when Tang Yin continued to receive good news from Director Bai, he received a notice from the Calligraphy and Painting Association that there was a meeting that he needed to attend.
When Tang Yin arrived, he found that it was only a small meeting, and there were not many people, plus he only had seven people.
Sitting at the head of the conference table was an old man with a childish face, who looked to be at least eighty years away.
"Let me introduce, this is the old man of Yuan Kuiyuan, who is currently alive, the oldest member of the Calligraphy and Painting Association, and the honorary president of the Calligraphy and Painting Association!" Seeing Tang Yin coming, Ye Zhiqiu hurriedly introduced Tang Yin.
Yuan Kui!
Tang Yin remembered that someone had talked to him about it.
Yuan Kui was one of the first members of the Calligraphy and Painting Association, and the other members of the same period have all passed away, leaving only the old man alone.
But he is too old after all, so although he is the honorary president of the Calligraphy and Painting Association, he basically does not participate in the activities of the Calligraphy and Painting Association.
Only the most important celebrations will show their faces.
What's going on today?
Seeing Dou Yingjie again, Tang Yin had a guess.
In just a few days, Dou Yingjie has changed a lot, it seems that he has aged a lot, and a large patch of gray hair has appeared on his head.
Not only is it gray hair, but it also looks very haggard.
Tang Yin understands this very well, the falsification of the three papers was exposed, although it was not enough to completely destroy Dou Yingjie's life, but it could destroy at least half of it.
The Calligraphy and Painting Association does not allow the president to have so many stains.
Unless someone has the ability to stand up for him and suppress the matter.
"Good, good, good, a generation of newcomers for the old, can be favored by Xiao Tang, and have a painting master pass, Xiao Tang, you are really a young man!" After the introduction, after Tang Yin said hello, the old man said with a smile.
The little soup in the old man's mouth is, of course, Master Tang, although his art city is not as tall as Master Tang, but his age is far greater than Master Tang.
So he called a little soup, which is also very true.
"Old man, you have won the prize!"
"I'm just telling the truth, humility can make people progress, too modesty is hypocrisy!" the old man continued.
The other five people echoed the words of the old man.
"Xiao Tang, I heard that you and Xiao Dou have some misunderstandings?"
Misunderstand?
Hearing the words of the old man, Tang Yin sneered in his heart, can the matter between him and Dou Yingjie be used to talk about things?
Not a misunderstanding!
It was the two who clashed, and Dou Yingjie failed.
At the same time, he also understood that calling him over today was not to attend any meeting at all, no, it could also be said to be to participate in a mediation meeting.
Dou Yingjie didn't know what means to use to invite the old man out of the mountain and use his identity to suppress Tang Yin.
The purpose is also very simple, after the fraud of the three papers was exposed, Dou Yingjie couldn't resist it in a hurry, and needed a buffer opportunity and a chance to breathe.
"Doesn't seem to be misleading?"
"Xiao Tang, Xiao Dou, both of you are important members of the Calligraphy and Painting Association, one is the president, the other is the honorary vice president, both are your own people, it's nothing to make trouble behind closed doors, don't let outsiders see jokes!"
Don't let outsiders laugh
Words, of course, refer to the three articles that exposed the falsification of the paper, which caused gossip.
"What about what you mean?" Tang Yin looked at the old man.
"It's easy to settle and it's hard to settle the matter!" said the old man.
"Old man, I also know that it is easy to resolve the enemy and it is not easy to settle the matter, but are you willing to vouch for Dou Yingjie? Can you guarantee that he will not trouble me in the future?" Tang Yin asked rhetorically.
He is not a person who does not know how to respect the old and love the young, but sometimes there are some old-timers who do things that are really unacceptable.
Although Tang Yin has not had much contact with Dou Yingjie, he has a clear understanding of his character and is not a broad-minded person.
Now that Dou Yingjie is in big trouble, he may be able to temporarily put aside the grievances with Tang Yin and reconcile Pepsi.
But once he gets through today's difficulties, Tang Yin bets that Dou Yingjie will definitely take revenge on him by any means, there is no doubt about it.
"Tang Yin, don't talk to the old-timers like this!" As soon as he heard Tang Yin's words, Ye Zhiqiu immediately came up to play a round.
"All of you present are smart people, the conflict between me and Dou Yingjie, I believe you all know what is going on, if you dare to stand up and vouch, Dou Yingjie will not trouble me in the future, I will reconcile with him immediately, which of you dares to stand up and vouch?" Tang Yin did not go down the slope at all.
Mediation, sometimes it really solves the problem, but sometimes it is very tricky, like today's mediation.
was asked by Tang Yin like this, Ye Zhiqiu was speechless for a moment.
He entered the Calligraphy and Painting Association earlier than Dou Yingjie, and he knew Dou Yingjie too well, how could he vouch for Dou Yingjie?
"Young man, don't be too narrow-minded!" Tang Yin didn't give face, which made the old man a little angry, and he didn't even call Tang Yin's name anymore, and his tone was a little tough.
He thought that he was here today, and he would be a senior sitting here, and he would be able to solve the matter by saying a word.
Unexpectedly, a little Tang Yin didn't give him face at all, and even questioned him in turn, which made him feel very uncomfortable.
As a veteran of the Calligraphy and Painting Association, every time he went to the Calligraphy and Painting Association, all he heard was flattery, and what he saw was only submissive behavior.
For the first time in so many years, someone dared to contradict him.
"Old man, I respect you as an old-timer, I don't want to say more, but the conflict between me and Dou Yingjie, please talk less!" Tang Yin pushed back unceremoniously.
"The surname is Tang, the members of our calligraphy and painting association need to pass the moral test, and they don't respect the old-timers, do you want to be expelled?" Dou Yingjie was happy in his heart, even if the old man was successful in mediation, it was not as good as Tang Yin's confrontation with the old man.
"What kind of character does an academic cheating person talk to me about?" Hearing Dou Yingjie's words, Tang Yin was even more polite.
"Slander, that's all slander!" Dou Yingjie is most taboo to hear now, when someone mentions his academic fraud.
This kind of person also knows this, so although he is very disdainful in his heart, no one will say it in front of Dou Yingjie.
But Tang Yin doesn't care, beating people, of course he has to slap his face.
"Do you think everybody is stupid?"
"For a person like you who has a corrupt character and does not respect the old-timers, it is not easy for my Calligraphy and Painting Association, I propose to expel Tang Yin!" Of course, Dou Yingjie knew that everyone was not stupid, so he directly changed the topic without mentioning academic fraud, and directly proposed to expel Tang Yin.
As president, he has that power.
In the case of an ordinary member, he has every right to be expelled directly.
The problem is that Tang Yin is the honorary vice president, and he only has the right to propose and vote, and needs the consent of at least two of the multiple vice presidents.
"I agree!"
actually raised his hand to make a statement.
As the patriarch of the Calligraphy and Painting Association, he has the title of honorary president, and he votes for the title of vice president.
Now as long as one more vice president agrees, Tang Yin will be expelled, and the other four people present are all vice presidents.
The vice president of the Calligraphy and Painting Association, according to Tang Yin, in addition to the honorary vice president, there are six executive vice presidents.
The two Tang Yin who didn't come also knew that the two who didn't come were members of the Elite Association, and they would all look towards Tang Yin.
Tang Yin knew this, and of course Dou Yingjie also knew, so when he mediated today, he didn't notify the two vice presidents at all.
"Wait, there are seniors like the old man, there are presidents like Dou Yingjie, and the Calligraphy and Painting Association is just a place to hide filth and dirt, I am ashamed of you burly, I don't need you to expel you, I will withdraw from the association myself!" Tang Yin stood up and finished speaking, then turned around and walked out.
"It's not like words, it's too unlike!" the old man trembled with anger.
"Old man, don't be angry, a morally corrupt person like this is not worth your anger at all, don't be angry!" Dou Yingjie hurriedly pretended to comfort.
The other four vice presidents, you look at me, I see you have a complicated complexion.
Tang Yin's temperament was strong, which was beyond their expectations, but now Tang Yin was simply leaving, but it made them very embarrassed.
"Old man, have you thought about one thing?" Finally Ye Zhiqiu spoke, and he couldn't help it a little.
"What do you think?"
"Tang Yin is a person with a grandmaster pass, and its progress is fast, according to my estimates, there is at least a seventy percent chance that he will become a grandmaster-level painter within ten years!" Ye Zhiqiu said.
"What's the matter with us?" Dou Yingjie spoke, he had a bad premonition, what Ye Zhiqiu was going to say next was probably a little unfavorable to him.
"If he really becomes a grandmaster-level painter, and he walked out of our Longmen, but he is not a member of the Calligraphy and Painting Association, but on the contrary, he automatically quits the Calligraphy Association, so what do the people of the entire Huaxia think of our Longmen Calligraphy and Painting Association?" Ye Zhiqiu looked at Dou Yingjie.
He knew the cause and effect of the incident, Tang Yin was completely passive and counterattacked, and everything was provoked by the Dou family's father and son first.
It's just that the father and son of the Dou family didn't expect the Tang people's counterattack to be so sharp, the son was forced to leave his hometown, and Lao Tzu was also in trouble.
That's why Dou Yingjie invited the elder, and the veteran and Dou Yingjie's father are old friends, so they came out to help Dou Yingjie.
Maybe it was because he was old and the patriarch's thinking was not very agile and clear, which eventually caused Tang Yin to quit the meeting in anger.
If this matter spreads, it will definitely become the biggest laughing stock of the Longmen Calligraphy and Painting Association and be laughed at by outsiders.
"That's right, the Calligraphy and Painting Association will definitely become a laughing stock at that time!" Dou Yingjie had to nod, he couldn't deny this possibility.
But things have developed to this point, he and Tang Yin are on opposite sides, he must not retreat, otherwise he will fall into the abyss.
"Then what are you going to do?" Ye Zhiqiu looked at Dou Yingjie.
"Do you mean that I invited the surname Tang back?" Hearing Ye Zhiqiu's words, Dou Yingjie frowned.
Between him and Tang Yin, this life can only be an enemy relationship, and there is no possibility of shaking hands and making peace.
"Besides, do you have any other good ways?" Ye Zhiqiu asked rhetorically, asking Tang Yin to rejoin the Calligraphy and Painting Association and give up the idea of automatically quitting, in his opinion, the only way.
Except for the old man, everyone else nodded one after another, and it was unexpected for them to make such a fuss, they thought that the mediation would be successful, at least temporarily, but they didn't expect Tang Yin's reaction to be so strong, and he automatically withdrew from the Calligraphy and Painting Association with a flick of his sleeves.
