Chapter 526 Heroine?
This time, Suning brought Hou Chengxue to Japan. According to the plan, they needed to stay in Japan for three days and attend several calligraphy meetings at Waseda University. Suning also brought a reporter from the Seoul Daily for a live interview because Suning believed that this was another rare and good material.

"Mr. Chen, welcome to Waseda University." Ichiro Yamamoto personally came to the airport to greet Suning and others.

"Professor Yamamoto, you are so polite. I am flattered." Su Ning did not expect that Ichiro Yamamoto would come to greet them in person.

"Haha, classmate Chen, please get in the car this way."

"Thank you."

The reporter from the Seoul Daily who came to Japan with them initially thought that this was an order from their boss, but they did not expect that their boss Suning would be treated so courteously by the Japanese, and they could not help but put away their initial contempt.

After everyone boarded a business car, it quickly took them away from the airport. Yamamoto Ichiro then turned to look at Su Ning and explained, "Student Chen, there will be a calligraphy exchange meeting tomorrow morning. Ichiro has invited other good calligraphy enthusiasts to attend. When the meeting comes, you only need to write the 'Duobao Pagoda Stele' again on the spot."

"Sure!" Su Ning nodded with a smile, then turned to look at Yamamoto Ichiro in confusion, "Professor Yamamoto, do you have any plans for today?"

"Student Chen, since you just arrived today, we will mainly arrange for you to rest in the hotel. There will be a welcome banquet in the evening." Yamamoto Ichiro explained with a smile.

"Thank you, Professor Yamamoto, for your hospitality." Su Ning was also surprised by Yamamoto Ichiro's courtesy. Then he thought of his "secretary" Hou Chengxue and asked with a smile, "Can you please cancel the welcome banquet tonight? We have our own activities here."

"Haha, no problem." Yamamoto Ichiro didn't take Su Ning's personal request to heart, and then very considerately took the initiative to say, "Mr. Chen, we can provide you with a vehicle for travel."

"Thank you, Professor Yamamoto."

Because Suning came to the Shinjuku campus of Waseda University in Tokyo, Suning intended to take Hou Chengxue for a tour. As for the welcome dinner that night, forget it. He believed that except Ichiro Yamamoto, no one would believe in his calligraphy level now. It would be more meaningful to wait until tomorrow to show his strength.

Hou Chengxue didn't expect that Suning would take her out shopping as soon as they arrived in Japan. Then she followed Suning in surprise and spent most of the day walking around the entire Shinjuku district.

It was not until very late that Su Ning and Hou Chengxue returned to the hotel arranged for them by Yamamoto Ichiro, carrying large and small bags of clothes and cosmetics, to rest.

The next day, Suning woke up refreshed again. Looking at Hou Chengxue who was still sleeping soundly, Suning felt very proud in his heart. After all, he was only seventeen years old now, but he had achieved so many achievements. He believed that he would definitely shine in this life.

Ichiro Yamamoto's hospitality was indeed very thoughtful. He sent someone to pick them up in the morning, and then the group came to an exhibition hall at Waseda University.

Before Suning and the others arrived, discussions had already broken out at the exhibition hall. A frail old man looked at Yamamoto Ichiro with disdain, "Yamamoto-kun, I heard you specially found a Korean student to exchange calligraphy with us?"

"Yes! Professor Jingxia, Chen Hengjun is a calligraphy genius I met in Beijing, China. His Yan style calligraphy is very exquisite." Yamamoto Ichiro still seemed very polite.

"Tsk! Mr. Yamamoto, are you kidding us again?" Professor Jingxia looked at Ichiro Yamamoto in front of him with disdain.

"Haha, Professor Jingxia, please be patient!" Yamamoto Ichiro looked at Professor Jingxia with a look of disdain on his face, and did not force any explanation. Instead, he smiled indifferently.

Looking at Ichiro Yamamoto's indifferent expression, Professor Inoshita felt very unhappy. As professors at Waseda University, the relationships between them were not as harmonious as they seemed on the surface, and there were still many intrigues hidden underneath.

Soon, Suning brought Hou Chengxue to the scene, and then exchanged a few words with the only familiar person, Yamamoto Ichiro. At the same time, he also noticed that most of the others looked disapproving. Of course, he knew that it was because of his age and lack of experience.

Suning directly picked up the brush and wrote "Duobao Pagoda Stele" on the white rice paper. He quickly wrote 2,026 words. In fact, when Suning started writing "Duobao Pagoda Stele", the indifferent expressions of the crowd had already changed.

When Ichiro Yamamoto saw the sudden change in the expression of the calligraphy enthusiasts around him, he felt very proud. After all, his insistence on inviting Suning to visit Waseda University had caused some controversy within Waseda University.

In fact, the first place in the China-Japan-Korea Calligraphy Exchange Competition at that time was not very important in the eyes of these calligraphy enthusiasts. They believed that there was some "political" meaning in it and it was an ordinary activity for mutual communication and friendship. Therefore, they were quite dissatisfied with Yamamoto Ichiro's fanfare.

Everyone knows that strength determines everything, so after seeing Suning write the "Duobao Pagoda Stele" in Yan style regular script in one go, everyone present began to be convinced of Suning.

When Professor Jingxia saw Su Ning's true level, his heart tightened and his expression suddenly changed. When he saw the people around him praising Su Ning's calligraphy, his expression also became unnatural.

Although Suning had no grudge against Professor Jingxia, he had a deep grudge against Ichiro Yamamoto. Recently, when he was competing for the position of director of the History Department of Waseda University, he lost to the more popular Ichiro Yamamoto.

"Mr. Yamamoto, it seems you have won again." Professor Jingxia said, trying his best to control his anger.

"Haha, Professor Jingxia, this classmate Chen Hengjun is a guest I invited with great difficulty. Let's not be rude in front of him." Looking at Professor Jingxia with a grim expression, Yamamoto Ichiro said with a meaningful smile.

"Hi! I'm grateful for your advice." After understanding what Ichiro Yamamoto meant, Professor Jingxia immediately responded in a low voice.

"Student Chen, your calligraphy has improved again." Seeing that Professor Inoue understood what he meant, Ichiro Yamamoto looked at Su Ning who had finished writing with a smile on his face.

"Haha, Professor Yamamoto, you're too kind."

"Student Chen, Mr. Yamamoto is not exaggerating. Your Yan style regular script is truly at the master level." At this time, a white-haired old man also looked at Su Ning with a smile.

"Haha, I haven't been learning calligraphy for a long time. In fact, I'm just a calligraphy student." Suning did not lose himself in the praise. Instead, he responded to others' flattery very humbly.

"Student Chen, this is Professor Yoshida from the University of Tokyo, and he is also a master in the Japanese calligraphy world." Ichiro Yamamoto pointed at the white-haired old man and introduced him to Su Ning.

"Haha, I don't even dare to call myself a master! Especially after seeing Chen's calligraphy skills, I feel even more ashamed."

"Professor Yoshida, since this is a calligraphy exchange meeting, why don't you show us your calligraphy skills?" Yamamoto Ichiro said to Professor Yoshida with a smile.

"Okay! Then I'll show you how ugly you are."

The calligraphy exchange meeting that day was very successful. The calligraphy enthusiasts invited by Ichiro Yamamoto were completely amazed by Suning's calligraphy level, and then they all extended invitations to Suning.

In this way, what could have been resolved in three days at most forced Suning to stay in Japan for more than ten days. During this period, Suning visited several Japanese universities in succession, and then returned to Seoul full of honor.

However, at this time, public opinion in South Korea had been ignited by Suning's whereabouts. South Korea is a small country and is also the most keen on various honors, so Suning's appearance became a hero in their hearts.

"Hyunwoo! Young Master Hyungjun has brought honor to our Republic of Korea again." Mother Shin looked at the newspaper with a smile on her face. "Yes! Mom, I find that Young Master Hyungjun is getting more and more handsome."

"That's right! Young Master Hengjun had very small eyes when he was young, but now they have suddenly become much bigger." Looking at the photo in the newspaper, Shen's mother also agreed with her eldest son's point of view.

"Mom, Master Hengjun is amazing. Although he is from a wealthy family, he doesn't have the arrogance of a wealthy family."

"Well, Xuanyou! You will definitely have a bright future if you work behind Master Hengjun in the future."

All of the public opinion in South Korea is under Suning's control. Every day, his honor trip to Japan will be reported back to the "Seoul Daily" in the country by his close reporters, and then it will be put on the front page headlines at the first time, becoming the most talked-about news among the Korean people.

However, no matter how popular a topic is, it will have a timeliness and periodicity. Soon, Suning’s journey of honor was overshadowed by another explosive news, and it was news that Suning had never expected.

Seeing the content of the latest edition of the "Seoul Ilbo" front page headline, Suning immediately couldn't help but became furious. It was not because the information published was no longer his own, but because the news on it was about the Ukrainian aircraft carrier.

Suning realized that there must be a problem somewhere, so he immediately ended his trip to Japan and took the earliest flight back to Seoul. At this time, Takahashi Iwaichi was already waiting for him at the airport.

After Su Ning and Hou Chengxue got off the plane and got into the car, Gao Qiao Yanyi wanted to explain something to Su Ning, but was stopped by Su Ning, "Uncle Gao Qiao, send Chengxue home first, and then we will go back to the company."

"Huh? Okay."

Su Ning and Gao Qiaoyanyi first patiently sent Hou Chengxue back home, and then went to the Seoul branch of Su's Eternal Capital. As soon as they arrived at Su Ning's office, Su Ning couldn't wait to ask Gao Qiaoyanyi, "Uncle Gao Qiao, tell me what's going on!"

"Hyungjun, I just saw the news this morning and was immediately shocked." In fact, Takahashi Iwaichi was also confused.

"Uncle Takahashi, what exactly went wrong? Was it the information revealed by Natasha and the others?"

"Hengjun, I don't think it was Natasha and the others who leaked it, because all the information published in the newspaper is false information we put on the surface." Takahashi Iwa explained, shaking his head.

"Well, Uncle Takahashi, which newspaper was the first to report this news?"

"Seoul Daily."

"Oh? It seems I need to call Min Bucheng and ask." Suning was also a little surprised.

"Hengjun, why don't we ask Min Bucheng to stop reporting this news directly?" Takahashi Iwaichi suddenly suggested to Suning.

"No! This news can't be stopped at all." Suning said with a wry smile and shook his head.

Suning knows the mentality of Koreans too well. A Korean gaming company suddenly bought back two aircraft carrier hulls. Korean citizens must have gone crazy, and it was definitely widely reported by the Korean media.

However, after the aircraft carrier entered the Yellow Sea, it suddenly made a sharp turn and headed for Dalian, which would be unacceptable to the Korean people. At that time, anyone who had any connection with this gambling company would be the first to bear the brunt.

However, Suning could not withstand the pressure of public opinion at that time. Not to mention entering the Korean "main forum", it might even be drowned in the spit of Korean people, so Suning must resolve this matter as soon as possible.

"Uncle Takahashi, now we need to throw this hot potato away." Suning quickly made his own decision.

"Huh? Hyungjun, what do you have in mind?"

"I'll first ask Min Bucheng where he got the information, and then I'll rush to Hong Kong as soon as possible. Now only Mr. Huo can take over."

"Mr. Huo?" Gao Qiaoyan couldn't help but be a little surprised, then thought of the relationship between Suning and the Huo family, and nodded in agreement and said, "Well, Hengjun, you are right, Mr. Huo does have this ability."

As soon as Su Ning and Gao Qiaoyan separated, he immediately went to the Seoul Daily to find Min Bucheng, and asked Min Bucheng directly, "President Min, where did you get the information about the hull of this aircraft carrier?"

"Master Hengjun, there's no way you can hide something as large as an aircraft carrier from the media."

"President Min, what I mean is, where did you get the buyer's information?" Seeing that Min Bucheng didn't understand what he meant, Suning asked again in detail.

"Master Hengjun, our Seoul Daily also has information sources in Ukraine. Our newspaper bought it from a Ukrainian shipyard at a high price. I am also planning to do a live report on the aircraft carrier's hull." Min Bucheng looked at Su Ning with an expression of seeking credit and reward.

"Live broadcast?"

"Yes! It means that important information about the aircraft carrier hull is updated on the front page every day." Min Bucheng explained with a forced smile.

"Huh?" Su Ning didn't expect Min Bucheng to be so ambitious, and he felt quite helpless. "That's a good plan. Let's do it this way."

"Thank you for your support, Master Hengjun."

"Yeah." At this moment, Su Ning accidentally saw Min Bucheng's family photo and picked it up. "President Min, is this your daughter?"

"Yes! My daughter, Min Jingxian, is also seventeen years old this year and is currently studying in the United States." Min Bucheng looked at Su Ning who was sitting in his seat and introduced her.

"Oh? You're the same age as me, and you're so pretty. I guess I'll have to get to know you someday."

"Master Hengjun, I will definitely let you know when Jingxian returns to the country."

"Alright!" Su Ning's face slightly lifted, and then he patted Min Bucheng's shoulder with a smile, "President Min, you've done very well. I hope you can keep up the good work."

"Yes! Young Master Hengjun." Min Bucheng said excitedly.

After Suning left the Seoul Daily, he immediately bought the earliest flight ticket to Hong Kong, and then went straight to the Huo Mansion in Mid-Levels to meet Mr. Huo.
