The chairman of the Situ Chamber of Commerce, Situ Ye!
He was one of the top businessmen in the whole of Cong Long City. He had great influence in the whole of Cong Long City.
Some people even said that he was a strong contender for the position of the next chairman of the Cong Long City Chamber of Commerce. It could even be said that it was almost certain.
This kind of person was a very important person in the entire Cong Long City. Even compared to the Zhong Xin Marquis, he was an important person who could stand on equal footing.
If it was the Marquis of Zhong Xin's birthday, Situ Ye personally coming would be giving him a lot of face. After all, there were so many nobles in the city. If he had to personally come for everyone's birthday, then he wouldn't need to do anything else in the year. Just continuously attending birthday banquets and continuously giving gifts was enough to tire him out.
Therefore, although the Zhong Xin Marquis had sent an invitation as usual, he didn't think that these important people would come. Being able to send a representative was already very good.
But now, Situ Ye had personally come, and he had even brought his beloved daughter.
Everyone looked at Kong Buyi and felt that today was very strange. These important people actually came one after another.
Kong Buyi was stunned for a moment when he saw this. It seemed that he didn't think that Situ Ye would also come today. But he immediately thought of something and looked at Chu Yunfan. He immediately understood.
This Situ Ye was the same as him. He had also come for Chu Yunfan. If it was just the Zhong Xin Marquis himself, then he wouldn't have such a big face to personally come despite his busy schedule.
It was just that he didn't know where Situ Ye had found out about this.
But after understanding this, Kong Buyi wasn't surprised. He directly sat on his seat and calmly looked at the sky. It was as if all of this had nothing to do with him.
Not long after, a middle-aged man with bright eyes and a young girl in a gorgeous dress appeared in everyone's line of sight.
"Greetings, Chairman Situ!"
"Chairman Situ, long time no see!"
"Greetings, Chairman Situ. It's nice to meet you!"
Along the way, many people opened their mouths, wanting to curry favor with Situ Ye.
From a certain point of view, Situ Ye was even more popular than the Marquis of Zhong Xin. Although the Marquis of Zhong Xin had a high position and authority, how could he be as direct as Situ Ye? He had a golden hand and as long as he gave a few pointers, wouldn't they immediately become rich?
However, Situ Ye only smiled politely and nodded. Then, he walked straight over.
"Matriarch, Marquis Zhongxin!"
Situ Ye said.
Situ Miaoyi called out sweetly, "Greetings, Marquis Zhongxin, Matriarch!"
"Good, good, very good!"
When the Matriarch saw Situ Miaoyi, she smiled happily. She liked Situ Miaoyi to begin with. Otherwise, she wouldn't have gone to such lengths to arrange a blind date between Situ Miaoyi and Chu Yunfan.
He looked at Situ Miaoyi, and then back at Chu Yunfan, and couldn't help but think that the two of them made a perfect couple, a perfect couple.
Situ Miaoyi's smile was like a flower, and it never stopped. On the contrary, Chu Yunfan felt uncomfortable when he saw the Matriarch's strange smile. However, he wasn't stupid, and he quickly understood what the Matriarch was thinking.
Although there was a big difference in age between him and the Matriarch, he looked exactly like the Matriarch's youngest son. Therefore, everyone in the mansion knew that the Matriarch raised Chu Yunfan as her own son.
All mothers in the world had the same idea, and that was to get married and have children as soon as possible.
Chu Yunfan had already experienced this on Earth, so how could he not understand it? However, he didn't plan to expose her. Today was her birthday, and it was fine as long as she was happy.
"Brother Situ, today is my mother's birthday, and I have to trouble you to come!"
Marquis Zhongxin cupped his hands and said. Although Situ Ye didn't have a noble title, he didn't dare to be arrogant in front of Situ Ye. Marquis Zhongxin's mansion and Situ Chamber of Commerce had some business connections, and he had always wanted to rope them in.
"Brother Chu, what are you saying? With our friendship, is there a need to say such things?" Situ Ye hastily said.
On the contrary, Chu Yaowei was a bit dumbfounded. Their friendship seemed to be no more than a nodding acquaintance. If he only listened to Situ Ye's words, then others would think that their relationship was very good.
"Today, I came in a hurry, so I didn't bring any gifts. I only brought a painting. I hope Brother Chu doesn't mind!"
Situ Ye stretched out his hand. The air fluctuated and a painting appeared in his hand. It was an ancient painting with a yellowish paper. On the ancient painting, there was a silhouette of a person practicing a fist technique.
Everyone's vision blurred, and they only felt that the figure actually came to life. In front of everyone's eyes, it directly turned into a figure practicing fist techniques.
This set of fist techniques was earth-shattering, and waves of fist intent rolled back towards them.
They were so shocked that they directly took a step back. Only then did they realize that the illusion in front of them had suddenly disappeared. The painting was just a painting, and it was nothing much.
However, their eyes were all fiery.
"It's a Dao Initiation level painting!" someone cried out in surprise.
There was no doubt that there were thousands of painting scrolls in the world, but the graded ones could be said to be phoenix feathers and unicorn horns. Everyone who could draw graded paintings could be called Grandmasters in the Spiritual Realm, and they were even rarer than Pill Grandmasters.
This kind of person entered the Dao through painting, and they had already reached a kind of magical level.
Ordinary people's highest goal in painting was to draw the form of the painting. This was the first level of the painting path.
And one step higher than this was not only the form, but also the spirit. At this level, it could already be said to be extremely amazing. This was the second level of the painting path.
Above spirit resemblance was the combination of form and spirit. This was because, in a sense, form resemblance and spirit resemblance were two parallel lines. It was not certain which was stronger. Just like on Earth, Western paintings during the Gregorian calendar era mainly focused on form resemblance, while ancient Chinese paintings mainly focused on spirit resemblance.
But when one reached the third realm, having both body and spirit, it was extremely amazing. People who had reached this level could basically be called great, and people called them masters.
Although the works of great masters were precious, it was not enough to make the big shots sitting here go crazy.
The truly precious ones were above the third level, the Dao Initiation Level. At this level, not only was the combination of form and spirit, but it could also integrate one's own Dao into it.
This kind of Dao Initiation Level work was extremely rare because it could help people comprehend the Dao. Even if it was just mountains, rivers, flowers, and birds, its value was immeasurable as it manifested the Dao of the world in front of people.
