At the Youth Chinese Arts Cup .
At the Shanghai booths .
This time, there were a lot more children that partic.i.p.ated in the compet.i.tion . It was at least two times more than the past years . Initially, they weren't going to hold the compet.i.tion here but this time, the number of people hit 500 and the previous small area couldn't contain so many people . Hence, they could only settle for this place .
The shop owners were waiting outside and they were talking among themselves . Each of them was in charge of two children .
"How did Little Boss train them? They're so good at drawing at such a young age . It's impressive . "
"What else? Little Boss is not a simple man . It's probably easy for him to educate these kids . "
"I hope they can get a good placing . "
"They'll definitely be able to . Didn't we go there and see the children draw before? They're good at it . "
"Yeah, that's true . "
. . .
Wu You Lan smiled, "Brother Lin, are you nervous?"
Lin Fan smiled and replied, "Why would I be nervous? I'm not nervous at all . "
He was definitely not nervous . Especially when Lil' Fatty was so gifted in Chinese arts . He was much better than the others and what he did wasn't just based on practice .
According to the modern perspective, a genius is equivalent to 99% hard work and 1% talent .
However, the truth is, the 1% talent is much more important than the 99% hard work .
The 365 children definitely had no problem clinching the second and third prize . The commendation prizes were not out of reach either . Lil' Fatty looked to be the most confident to clinch the top spot .
The compet.i.tion had a three-hour time limit .
The compet.i.tion ended at 11 am and the kids walked out .
"Let's go and fetch them," Lin Fan smiled and said .
There were a lot of children from the welfare organization and Lin Fan was standing at the exit, watching the shop owners bring them out . When Lil' Fatty walked out, he heaved a sigh of relief . Finally, the last child was out and there weren't any missing ones .
The other parents asked how did the compet.i.tion go .
"Dad, it was difficult . I didn't draw very well . "
"I didn't even finish drawing when it ended . "
"Mum, I drew pretty well . I drew a lot of flowers . "
The kids were explaining to their parents but they were already very happy to be able to partic.i.p.ate in it .
…
Lin Fan said, "Let's go back to the welfare organization . "
Although everyone was out, the main cook was still at the welfare organization . They would be able to eat an awesome meal after returning back .
To the children, they were still ecstatic .
Lil' Fatty held onto Lin Fan's hand, "Uncle Lin, I was really serious today . I drew exactly what I wanted to draw . "
Lin Fan smiled, "Really? What did you draw?"
Lil' Fatty replied, "I saw it in the books . It had mountains and waters . There were people carrying boats and there were a lot of mountains . I remember it very clearly . "
After consuming the Little Intelligence pill, the memory of the kids had drastically improved . Although they couldn't remember everything, it was much better than a lot of people .
Lin Fan complimented, "Not bad . Lil' Fatty is awesome . "
Lil' Fatty was elated after being praised . To a kid, the best feeling in the world was to be praised . Kids wouldn't know the meaning of modesty .
After returning to the welfare organization, the kids gathered around and talked about what they had drawn .
The shop owners smiled, "Little Boss, we're here at the welfare organization again . Could you cook some dishes to let us satisfy our stomachs?"
Lin Fan replied, "I saw that all of you were extremely hard working today . I'm afraid it was all because you wanted me to cook, right?"
The shop owners smiled, "Little Boss, since you already know the answer, you don't have to ask us . Your culinary skills are really amazing . If you were to open a restaurant, it would definitely be the most famous one in Shanghai . "
"Not just Shanghai . It'll be the best in the nation . You'll forget all your troubles after eating his dishes . "
Elder Liang interrupted, "Can you guys be more courageous? It'll be the best in the world . Do you remember the 1998 Sichuan spicy sauce? Even that mesmerized the foreigners here . "
"Haha, it was just sticky chili bean sauce with some added sugar . With Little Boss' abilities, he'll be internationally renown . "
Lin Fan quickly stopped them from praising him, "Alright, alright . It's just cooking some dishes for you . No problem . Is there really a need to praise me so much? However, there are a lot of people here . I'm a little tired so I'll only cook a table of food . "
Although he had law-defying culinary skills, he hadn't cooked in a long time and he wanted to satisfy their needs .
When Lin Fan went to the kitchen, the shop owners gasped .
"I wonder which girl would be lucky enough to be with Little Boss . "
"Yeah, who would leave Little Boss? He has such impressive culinary skills . "
"I think Wu You Lan has the luck . "
Wu You Lan blushed, "Don't say that . That's not true . "
"Look, she's blus.h.i.+ng . But You Lan, Little Boss is really decent . If you don't hold onto him, you'll regret in the future," everyone chuckled .
Although Wu You Lan didn't reply, she listened to their advice . She had to work hard for it . If not, the opportunity would slip away .
Wu Tian He sighed . He had finally secured his daughter's life . However, he knew that his daughter was going to be in a love triangle . It wasn't going to be a smooth journey .
He didn't want to interfere with it as his daughter deserved to live her own life .
After a while, Lin Fan brought out a few dishes .
"It's here, it's here to fulfill your requests . You guys are too much . I can't cook so many dishes," Lin Fan chuckled . He just wanted everyone to be happy .
The crowd smiled, "Little Boss is awesome . "
"I finally get to try Little Boss' food again . I didn't live in vain . "
"Haha…"
Until 2 pm in the afternoon .
Everyone packed their things and were prepared to return to Cloud Street . Lin Fan was going to stay at the welfare organization and teach the children .
Drawing wasn't just a small part of their lives . The compet.i.tion was just for the kids to see the world . He didn't really care if they won any awards .
…
At the Youth Chinese Arts Cup .
The compet.i.tion had ended and the judges were preparing themselves .
There were five judges and they were going to shortlist artworks to be judged by another panel of judges .
The judges were experienced Chinese Artists . If they weren't experienced, they wouldn't have dared to be judges .
In a large basketball court, the tables were filled with artworks .
"Hey, looking at these children's arts are really torturous . "
"You can't say that . Chinese Arts is a national treasure . It's a good thing for the older generations to like it . "
"That's true . "
"Look, this drawing looks like a scribble . What is he trying to draw? It's too messy . "
"This is not good too . It's literally children's drawing . "
"Hey, this is pretty good . It's a pa.s.s . "
The other workers were following the judges and they would seal up the artworks when the judges said that they were good .
"Fail . "
"Average, fail . "
"This is decent . I didn't expect to see a good one after only a few pieces . "
"This is decent too . Looks like he was serious about learning it . Although his strokes aren't as crisp and firm as adults, it is really decent . "
