"What’s up, bro? Just tell me what you want to drink, and I’ll order it for you!"
"No, it’s not that, bro..."
"What’s up? You’ve got a weird expression there."
Shen Yan swallowed hard, pointing to the computer, "Bro, take a look, am I hallucinating?"
Xiao Li put some force into his step, the chair with wheels scooted forward, and a line of text came into view.
Passing by, Luo Lin saw their shocked faces, and her little heart began to thump irregularly.
"What’s wrong? That little ancestor hasn’t caused trouble again, has she?"
She’s run off to the Great Northwest, how can she still be causing trouble? This girl must be trouble personified!
Now she was genuinely scared, getting anxious at the slightest stir.
Shen Yan and Xiao Li looked up at her, shook their heads, "It’s not anything bad, it seems like a really good thing?"
"But... it’s not easy to handle―"
Even more confused, Luo Lin took a couple of steps to stand behind them and looked at the computer herself.
The page was Tang Shu’s personal Weibo account for "Give and Take."
This was what Tang Shu had handed over to Shen Yan to manage before she left, as she would not be able to live stream for the next three weeks, and he was to explain the situation to the fans.
Now, there were clearly a few red dots in the private message column, indicating unread messages.
One of them was already open, and the sender’s heading was quite striking, deliberately highlighted with a yellow VIP font:
[National Calligraphy and Painting Association]
That title was quite formidable.
Looking at the content, good lord, it was even more intimidating than the name.
"The Calligraphy and Painting Association is planning to hold a national competition soon, inviting ’Give and Take’ to be a judge?!"
Damn, where did this come from? It’s absolutely terrifying!
Shen Yan blinked, exchanging a glance with Xiao Li, good, they weren’t seeing things.
"That’s the situation. The other party sent the message half an hour ago, indeed inviting ’Give and Take’ to be a judge. How should we... reply?"
If this were a message from another fan, they could reply if they could, or pretend they didn’t see it if it was too difficult to respond to, but they couldn’t be careless with an official message .
But Shen Yan wasn’t the one involved.
The three of them were at a loss, pondering for a moment without coming up with a proper decision.
"Logically speaking, this should be a good thing, the Calligraphy and Painting Association! It’s such a prestigious place, home to some of our country’s most treasured individuals."
The fact that they’ve sent us an invitation, we should be lighting incense and praying.
But being a judge isn’t something just anyone can do, especially since Tang Shu is only a 19-year-old girl.
"This... Perhaps they don’t know ’Give and Take’s’ real identity?"
Otherwise, they wouldn’t be asking a young girl to join a circle of old professors with an average age of over fifty, to work together.
Sister Luo had a very complex train of thought, and just by reading this message, her mind automatically played out the pros and cons of announcing the news.
But when she thought of Tang Shu’s way of doing things, she immediately dismissed all thoughts thoroughly.
That person’s way of doing things was not something others could interfere with.
"Forget it, I can’t handle this. Just send the message directly to Tang Shu and let that little ancestor deal with it!"
When the archaeological team arrived near the Ancient Tomb after driving all morning, Tang Shu’s phone vibrated several times.
She opened the message and stared at it for a while before she understood.
The whole affair started with the landscape painting she had drawn during a live stream, which, after being delivered to the "Little Housekeeper of Painting" in the same city, was collected by an elder.
