In his early days, Jin Mu was quite a character, valuing cultural cultivation.
He could tell at a glance that the word Lin Yuan wrote was not an ordinary one.
An average person could not achieve such a standard without a certain amount of practice!
Look at these skillful strokes and the professional demeanor while holding the pen and writing.
The boss must be a master of calligraphy!
Because anyone with a bit of common sense knows that one’s calligraphy can’t leap from a primary school level to a master’s level in a short period of time…
So why were the boss’s words so ugly before?
There can only be one truth!
Lin Yuan was previously intentionally using a primary school font to tease everyone!
His judgement was correct. Chu Kuang, the man who invented the narrative trickery, was playing with the readers, and his heart must be as black as ink upon dissection.
He’s full of bad taste!
“I used to think that the almost perfect boss had a weakness, that his handwriting was as ugly as that of a primary school student, but it turns out the boss was deliberately teasing me.”
Come to think of it, it’s true.
The boss is so good at painting and composing, and he’s proficient in writing novels and scripts, a true all-around artist!
How can such a person lag in the most basic aspect of handwriting?
Most arts require acquired practice, except for handwriting, everyone starts to learn it as soon as they start school.
As expected, the boss has no weaknesses.
Jin Mu thought as he sorted out the books signed by Lin Yuan and sent them back to the publisher.
The next day.
These books were mixed with several batches of newly published goods and distributed through various channels.
At the same time.
Silver Blue Books also followed the same approach as with The Murder of Roger Ackroyd, announcing that Chu Kuang’s signed books were randomly on sale.
There are still a lot of people buying books.
Soon, the first lucky person got Chu Kuang’s signed book.
This lucky netizen, named Jianhui, seemed to be from the Qi people. After receiving the first signed copy of Murder on the Orient Express, he excitedly made a post on his blog:
“Ahhhhh! I got the old rascal’s autograph! I’m going to treasure it like a family heirloom!!!”
What used to be a mundane internet user suddenly became the object of envy for many people!
“I’m so jealous that I want to reveal my identity: my name is Zhang Wei, you can call me Wei.”
“Ha, I got Chu Kuang’s autograph. It’s said that only fifty copies of Murder on the Orient Express are signed. It’s an absolute steal to be able to buy a signed edition.”
“Is it real or fake? No picture, no proof?”
“Are you sure it’s not a scam, is it the real thing?”
“You’re the first one to claim to have a signed book, share a picture, if it’s confirmed I’m willing to offer five thousand.”
The netizen who left this comment is obviously wealthy.
Jianhui looked at the comments, and seeing that quite a few people were doubting him, made another post, releasing nine pictures!
In these nine photos, he showed off the pristine cover of Murder on the Orient Express and the page with Chu Kuang’s signature from all angles.
You should believe now, right?
Jianhui felt smug and took the opportunity to reply to the wealthy netizen:
“I’m not planning to sell it. I’m a fan of Teacher Chu Kuang, I will keep this book as a collection.”
To Jianhui’s surprise, the wealthy netizen replied to him this way:
“I don’t intend to buy it anymore, you seem to have been tricked by an unscrupulous bookseller, this is not Chu Kuang’s autograph.”
Jianhui was stunned.
At this point, more comments appeared, saying the same thing as the wealthy netizen.
“Fake autograph!”
“Chu Kuang’s handwriting is not this beautiful.”
“Last time The Murder of Roger Ackroyd was released, didn’t he also sign? It was definitely a primary school font.”
“Let me show you a picture, someone posted it online last time.”
A netizen posted a signed copy of The Murder of Roger Ackroyd, which was officially approved as a real signature by Silver Blue Books, who even congratulated the lucky guy who posted that picture.
“Did you see that? This is Chu Kuang’s real signature!”
“I feel sorry for the original poster.”
“I’m guessing some bookseller wanted to fool consumers and had someone else sign it. It’s disgusting, you can make a complaint to the bookstore.”
“From what I see, the original poster clearly had no idea.”
“Uh, those who noticed The Murder of Roger Ackroyd signed edition last time would know Chu Kuang’s handwriting is worse than a primary school student’s.”
“…”
Jianhui compared the autograph on the title page of The Murder of Roger Ackroyd and his expression gradually fell.
Although the signature on Murder on the Orient Express was more beautiful, it didn’t seem to be Chu Kuang’s!
If it’s not Chu Kuang’s signature, then there’s no point calling it a “signed copy”.
Thinking this way, Jianhui almost wanted to follow the netizen’s advice and go to the bookstore to demand an explanation.
However, just at that moment, Silver Blue Book’s official blog account mentioned Jianhui and explained:
“This copy of Murder on the Orient Express is personally signed by Teacher Chu Kuang, everyone can stop doubting. As for why the handwriting is completely different from last time, we were flabbergasted when we received the signed books. You should probably interview Mr.Chu Kuang himself (dog head emoji).”
Jianhui: “…”
He felt like he went from heaven to hell, then back to heaven again.
If the publisher says it’s Chu Kuang’s autograph, how can it be fake!?
“Holy shit! It’s real!?”
After seeing the official explanation, the wealthy man quickly messaged Jianhui again:
“Teacher Chu Kuang’s signature is so beautiful this time, if you’re willing to sell, I can offer ten thousand!”
The wealthy guy immediately raised his price.
The other netizens were both surprised and puzzled.
“Is this really Mr.Chu Kuang’s signature?”
“Are you sure the official publisher didn’t make a mistake? Isn’t this Chu Kuang’s signature (screenshot of The Murder of Roger Ackroyd signature)?”
“Huh? Did Chu Kuang have someone else sign for him? Because his handwriting was mocked by the group last time?”
“Um, I’m starting to suspect that Chu Kuang deliberately made his handwriting look ugly last time.”
“The handwriting this time is too beautiful, right?”
“This autograph is even more beautiful than our calligraphy teacher’s writing!”
“…”
In the midst of the comments from the netizens, two more lucky readers who had bought signed books posted pictures of Murder on the Orient Express online.
They were both in cursive!
The handwriting is exactly the same as the pictures Jianhui posted!
Only the font style is slightly different, it seems that the person who signed it had carefully designed it.
Before the netizens had time to ponder, Silver Blue Books rushed over to authenticate:
“These two are also genuine signed books, congratulations to the two book fans for buying Chu Kuang’s signed books!”
Silver Blue Books is really going all out for this signature verification.
Seemingly wanting to help Silver Blue Books share the workload, on Chu Kuang’s Tribe account, amid the shock and confusion of the netizens, a short video was posted:
“Chu Kuang!”
A slender hand, holding a pen, wrote these two words with mature pen movements.
Then, the speed of the hand changed abruptly and wrote “Chu Kuang” again with a different style.
The text that accompanied the short video was: “I’ve been practicing calligraphy recently and have made some progress.”
Only then did the readers and fans realize…
Chu Kuang, this old rascal, is teasing everyone again!
