Chapter 4246

Zheng Hong then told everyone to attend the welcome banquet for Secretary Su tonight, and they naturally cheered in agreement.

During the day, everyone was very sensible and no one went to Su Xinghui's home to report any work. Su Xinghui also rested well at home for a day and played with the two children, Xiao Feng and Long Long, for a day. Although they were only half a year old, they recognized their father and were incredibly happy in Su Xinghui's arms.

In the afternoon, Su Xinghui also went with Lu Xiaoya, taking Niuniu and pushing Xiao Feng and Long Long in a stroller, to the newly built Chunshan Park in Linshan.

Chunshan Park was completed at the end of last year and was located on a small hill in Linshan City—Chunshan. The designer cleverly built it according to the mountain's terrain, and combined with a small river at the foot of the mountain, this Chunshan Park had the charm of a Jiangnan garden.

It was now late spring, and the mountain was full of flowers and trees, while the small river at the foot of the mountain was lined with weeping willows. The entire park was filled with beautiful pavilions and towers, making people feel relaxed and happy.

Su Xinghui pushed a double stroller with Xiao Feng and Long Long lying inside, while Lu Xiaoya and Niuniu followed beside them. The family walked across an arched bridge over the small river and strolled up the mountain along the mountain path, amidst the flowers and trees.

There were many tourists in the park who had come to play in Chunshan Park. In this season, in the north, it was the most suitable time for spring outings in the park. Today's weather was also good, with clear skies for thousands of miles, so there were particularly many tourists today, making the park look very lively.

Volume 7 Linshan_Chapter 1190: Writing Fee?

In the few years Su Xinghui had been in charge of Linshan, Linshan City had already built five or six parks, such as People's Park, Liberation Park, etc. The completion of these parks gave Linshan citizens many good places for leisure and entertainment and also improved the citizens' satisfaction.

Su Xinghui heard several tourists saying: "This park is really beautiful. Last year I went to the south, and this Chunshan Park is no worse than the gardens there."

"Yes, look at these small bridges and flowing water, as well as those pavilions and towers, it really has the charm of a Jiangnan garden. In our north, being able to have such a park is really great."

Several girls were holding selfie sticks, finding the scenery they thought was the most beautiful to take selfies. In this late spring season, they were already wearing all kinds of beautiful dresses, and they themselves were the most beautiful scenery in this park.

Children were running on the riverfront square north of the small bridge. Some children were holding kite strings, and under the gentle spring breeze, the kites were flying into the sky, which made the children burst into happy laughter.

The kites in the sky included swallows, Sun Wukong, falcons, big dragons, and even the Shenzhou VII spacecraft. So many kites decorated Linshan's sky, making it look colorful.

There were also elderly people who were practicing Tai Chi under the weeping willows in this beautiful park, dancing square dances on the square, spinning tops, and singing, making the park full of vitality.

It was also Su Xinghui's first time coming to Chunshan Park. The beauty of Chunshan Park exceeded his expectations, and this scene of joy and harmony among the citizens also made him feel comfortable.

Lu Xiaoya and Niuniu were naturally very happy too. Opportunities to play in the park with Su Xinghui were really rare now, and they all cherished them very much.

Su Xinghui's family strolled from the mountain path to the mountain and walked to a pavilion. In front of this pavilion, several workers were hanging a plaque on the pavilion. Su Xinghui looked closely and saw the three big characters "Chunshan Pavilion" written on the plaque, and the signature was the two characters "Guoguang."

The three characters "Chunshan Pavilion" were written quite well, vigorous and powerful, but they were still far from Su Xinghui's calligraphy and couldn't be called a masterpiece; they could only be said to be good.

Lu Xiaoya laughed and said: "It's Liang Guoguang's calligraphy again!"

Hearing Lu Xiaoya's words, Su Xinghui's brows furrowed. Going out today, he seemed to have felt that he had seen Liang Guoguang's calligraphy many times.

There were several pavilions in this Chunshan Park that had inscriptions by Liang Guoguang, and Su Xinghui saw the frequency of his inscriptions being very high.

Who was Liang Guoguang? He was the director of the Linshan City Culture Bureau.

This gentleman didn't have a high degree; he was just a technical secondary school student. Because he liked to dabble in writing and painting, he went to work at the cultural station in the township below when he was young. In the cultural station, his work performance was good, and he carried out the work of that cultural station vividly, making the cultural life of that township colorful.

His prose, poetry, and calligraphy and painting works were often published in municipal and county newspapers. Although it was very rare for his works to be published in provincial newspapers, he could be considered a cultural celebrity in Linshan City.

Because of this, he was appreciated by a municipal leader and was promoted from the cultural station to the county culture bureau, and later to the municipal culture bureau. During Su Xinghui's tenure, his performance was still not

bad, so he was promoted to the director of the municipal culture bureau two years ago.

In the past two years, his performance had been okay. The development situation of Linshan City's cultural cause was very good, and the cultural cause of the entire Linshan City was vivid. This year, they were also planning to hold a calligraphy and painting competition, an opera competition, a singing competition, etc.

In short, Su Xinghui was quite satisfied with Liang Guoguang's performance.

However, this Liang Guoguang was inscribing everywhere, wasn't that a bit too much?

Su Xinghui's own calligraphy was written very well and could be called a calligrapher. However, he hadn't been inscribing everywhere in recent years. The last time he inscribed was to write the school name for Baozhou University. After that, no matter who asked him to inscribe, he refused.

Why do this? That was naturally because Su Xinghui didn't want to open this door and didn't want to give others a chance to curry favor with him and bribe him in disguise.

In this day and age, corruption was also changing its tricks, and corrupt officials were becoming smarter. Just speaking of the bribery methods Su Xinghui knew, there were bosses who asked leaders to buy some antiques, buy fake antiques at the price of real antiques, and let experts write an appraisal certificate for the fake antiques, so this money became legal income. And there were even more cases of leaders earning writing fees by inscribing.

Su Xinghui had been sent writing fees many times. If he was willing to accept them, these writing fees could be called legal income. But how could Su Xinghui accept such money? So his works rarely flowed out now, and he kept them all himself.

This Liang Guoguang was inscribing everywhere; how much writing fee did he collect? Su Xinghui couldn't help but ponder.

However, listening to Lu Xiaoya's tone just now, she seemed to know something about this. So, Su Xinghui cast an inquiring look at Lu Xiaoya and said: "Xiaoya, is Liang Guoguang inscribing everywhere now?"

Lu Xiaoya smiled and nodded: "Yes, if you walk around Linshan City now, including the counties and districts below, his calligraphy is hanging everywhere. Many office walls are hanging his inscriptions, and the signature of the two characters 'Guoguang' is everywhere."

Su Xinghui asked: "Then do you know how much writing fee Liang Guoguang gets for one piece of calligraphy?"

Lu Xiaoya said: "Probably 1,500 to 2,000 yuan per square foot."

Su Xinghui was shocked. Generally speaking, calligraphy works were not as valuable as traditional Chinese paintings. It would be very good if one square foot could be 500 to 800 yuan. Many well-known calligraphers' works were at this price. But Liang Guoguang's writing fee was actually so high?

Liang Guoguang's calligraphy level was still a long way from famous calligraphers.

After Su Xinghui pondered for a long time, he asked again: "How do you know about this?"

Lu Xiaoya said: "I also heard it from others a few days ago. Liang Guoguang has been inscribing for others very frequently during this period. I asked, and others told me Liang Guoguang's inscription price, which is clearly marked and non-negotiable."

Su Xinghui calculated that 1,500 to 2,000 yuan per square foot, so if a piece of calligraphy had five or six square feet, it would be almost 10,000 yuan.
