When he reached the Nanshan Children’s Welfare Organisation, the kids were drawing. After consuming the Little Intelligence pill, the abilities of these kids had improved significantly.
When he first arrived, those kids have left. It was a pity that he didn’t manage to see them.
The educational level was currently being renovated. The kids were mainly learning how to draw and listening to Grandpa Zhao’s stories about Chinese medicine. They always listened to his stories attentively.
Director Huang said, “Master Lin, what are you doing?”
Lin Fan passed a form to Director Huang, “I saw that there was a Youth Chinese Arts Cup. I wanted to bring these kids to participate in it so that they can improve themselves.”
Director Huang smiled, “That’s a good thing.”
Lin Fan smiled and nodded, “Of course. If not, I wouldn’t have registered them for it.”
Then, Lil’ Fatty rushed over and held Lin Fan’s hand. “Uncle Lin, come and look at my artwork. I was really serious about drawing it today.”
Lin Fan patted Lil’ Fatty’s head and went to the table. When he saw the artwork on the table, he gasped, “Wow, Lil’ Fatty, your artistic skills have improved so much!”
Lin Fan didn’t just say that to motivate Lil’ Fatty. He really drew well. It was as if he had been learning for a few years.
Lil’ Fatty had only been drawing for a short period of time and he produced such a good artwork. It was pretty scary.
The Little Intelligence pill played a part and perhaps Lil’ Fatty was really talented in drawing.
Director Huang smiled, “Master Lin, Lil’ Fatty is really good at drawing. When we saw it, we were shocked too.”
Lin Fan smiled and nodded, “Yeah, Lil’ Fatty is good. He needs to develop it further.”
Lil’ Fatty chuckled. It felt great to be praised. Then, he followed another female student and went to play.
Those workers that came to register the kids were also stunned at their artworks.
They believed that the kids were only five or six years old, with the oldest being about eight years old. However, their artworks were absolutely stunning. It was unbelievable.
Some of the parents that registered their children also brought their artworks along. However, they had never seen any of such quality before.
It had to be said that only a handful of kids could match up to the standard of these children’s artworks.
How did he manage to teach all of them? It was unimaginable.
Of course, with Lin Fan’s gift in drawing, their artworks couldn’t have been that bad.
Lin Fan said, “Sorry for the trouble. There are a quite a number of kids here. You would need some time for this. I’ll go get the money now and pay for their registration.”
Then, they continued working till nighttime. The registration was finally over.
In the end, Lin Fan gave them a total of $18,000 for the registration fees.
An employee said, “Master Lin, the competition will be in three days’ time. 9 am in the morning at the Citizens’ Park. We will be sending the competition documents here tomorrow.”
Lin Fan nodded, “Sorry to trouble all of you.”
“It’s okay. It’s okay.”
Outside.
The workers drove back to their workplace, “D*mn, that was unbelievable. The children at the welfare organization draw really well.”
“Yeah, they’re so young and they’re so good at drawing. If I didn’t see it with my own eyes, I wouldn’t have believed it.”
“Let’s go back now. We have to work overtime today to prepare their documents.”
…
At the welfare organization.
Lil’ Fatty said, “Uncle Lin, why did they record our names?”
Lin Fan smiled, “I registered all of you for the Youth Chinese Arts Cup. You will be going for the competition in three days’ time. All of you have to take it seriously and get a good placing.”
Lil’ Fatty nodded, “Yes, I will work hard and clinch the top spot.”
Lin Fan smiled, “Haha, all the best. I am confident in your ability. Don’t be too nervous, it doesn’t really matter if you don’t win a price. What matters is that all of you are happy.”
Lil’ Fatty replied, “I am very happy but I want to get the first place. My drawing will not lose to others.”
“A confident Lil’ Fatty is the most charismatic.”
When Lin Fan left the welfare organization, it was pretty late already.
…
Three days later.
At the Citizens’ Park.
A few buses were parked outside.
This time, the entire welfare organization was in action. There were a lot of people and it was impossible to take care of all the children. Hence, Lin Fan asked the shop owners of Cloud Street to take a half day off work to help to manage the crowd. After all, there were a lot of strangers and the kids might be abducted.
There were police officers present to ensure that everything ran smoothly because there were going to be a lot of kids and they had to be cautious of the situation there.
When the buses stopped, some adults looked over.
“Hey, where are these kids from? Why are there so many of them? Are they here to draw too?”
“These kids are from the welfare organization.”
“Haha, even the orphans are here for the competition. They can’t even afford food for themselves. How can they be here? Look at that one there, he’s in a wheelchair. Isn’t it a joke?”
Suddenly, the middle-aged man turned to stare at the female teenager.
“What did you say? These kids are from Nanshan Children’s Welfare Organisation. They’re saved from the hands of the human traffickers. Why are you so evil? Can’t you speak nicely of them?”
“What’s wrong? I was just saying.”
“If you dare, say it again. I’ll beat you up.”
The female teenager immediately shut up after seeing the fearsome look of the middle-aged man.
The kids were wearing red costumes and they were being ushered around by the shop owners. Lin Fan got people to make the costumes specially for them. The shade of red was stunning and could be easily spotted.
Lil’ Fatty was being brought around by Lin Fan. “Uncle Lin, I will definitely do my best.”
Lin Fan smiled, “Yeah, all the best. Give it your best shot. Don’t be too nervous.”
Lil’ Fatty smiled and nodded, “Okay.”
Wu You Lan said, “Brother Lin, there are really a lot of children here today.”
Lin Fan replied, “Yeah, the parents are really focused on developing their kids’ interests. Furthermore, Chinese Arts is a national treasure. A lot of kids learn it. However, only a handful pursue it passionately. I wonder how many of our kids in the welfare organization can win prizes.”
Wu You Lan sneakily went beside Lin Fan and whispered, “Brother Lin, you said that it doesn’t matter if they win anything. But you really want them to win something to prove themselves, right? After all, some people think that the children from the welfare organization are pathetic. You want to change their opinions, right?”
Lin Fan gently patted Wu You Lan’s head, “You’re pretty smart. This can be done through Chinese Arts. However, there’s a long way to go. They have to continue working hard.”
Then, Lin Fan shouted with a megaphone, “To all the little warriors of Nanshan Children’s Welfare Organisation, all the best! Give it your best shot. Good luck!”
The kids in red costumes held each other’s hands tightly, “Uncle Lin, we will do our best!”
Then, Lin Fan smiled. At the same time, he wanted to let these kids be more confident in themselves. The main purpose of the welfare organization was to develop their confidence.
The reporters saw what had happened.
Then, they ran over to begin their interviews.
“Hey, Master Lin…”
“Master Lin, did you bring the children here to participate in the Youth Chinese Arts Cup?”
…
Lin Fan nodded, “Yeah, I brought all 365 children from the organization to attend this competition.”
The reporter added, “Do you think they’ll win prizes?”
Lin Fan smiled, “I believe in them. They’ll definitely do their best. Even if they don’t win anything, they’re still the best children in my eyes.”
The reporters looked at Lin Fan’s smile and were speechless.
They felt that although Master Lin was pretty stupid at times, he was also pretty charismatic.
