Chapter 323 - Am I the type that listens to others? (1/2)

A whole month!

It was so far away.

But there was no choice. He could only wait patiently.

Lin Fan’s remarks during the interview had caused waves on the Internet. Fortunately, he was someone with diehard fans. Although he was arrogant… No, it wasn’t arrogance, it was just speaking the truth. After all, sometimes, even the truth would offend people.

However, for him to change this natural instinct of always speaking the truth was absolutely impossible.

When Lin Fan was bored, he opened his class’ WeChat group.

It had been a long time since anyone had spoken in the group. The last recorded message in the group was from a month ago when some people had started some chatter.

In order to liven up the atmosphere, Lin Fan sent a smiley face to the group.

Of course, in the end, it was ignored by everyone.

Lin Fan couldn’t help but be annoyed. This bunch of corpses!

However, what Lin Fan didn’t know was that in this WeChat Group, each of the account owners’ expressions became grave when they saw that ‘smiley face’. Then, their fingers which were hovering above the reply button were lifted up. After that, they pretended not to have seen the message.

At that moment, an uninvited guest entered the shop.

“May I ask who is Master Lin?” A middle-aged man in a well-ironed suit entered with a calm expression on his face.

Lin Fan studied him for a moment. Then, Fraud Tian raised his hand and said, “That’s Master Lin.”

The middle-aged man looked at Lin Fan and nodded. “I’m Song Bing Wen from the Shanghai Sports Association. We’ve noticed your performance at the World Championships and we’d like to have a chat with you.”

Song Bing Wen had been in the Sports Association for a period of time. He had seen numerous talented athletes but this was the first time he had seen someone like Lin Fan. His running speed while carrying the video camera had been simply too fast. In the World Championships, he had gained many people’s notice.

There was a petition online to appeal to the Sports Association to bring this man in. Of course, whether the Sports Association would bring him in or not was not decided by public opinion.

Lin Fan looked at Song Bing Wen with a surprised look. Then, he smiled and said, “Please take a seat.”

“Mmm.” Song Bing Wen nodded and sat down. Wu You Lan went to prepare some tea. By asking him to sit down, Lin Fan was clearly agreeing to chat with him, hence, he was a guest.

“What is Leader Song here to find me for?” asked Lin Fan. Initially, if the task hadn’t been completed, he would’ve really gone to join a few races to raise his reputation and complete the task. But now that the task had been completed, he wasn’t very interested. This joining of races was just a waste of time.

Song Bing Wen took a look around him and then said with a resonant voice, “After our discussions, we think that you possess great talent in the track event.”

Lin Fan smiled. “So you want me to become a national athlete?”

However, despite what was said above, even though the task had been completed, going to compete with people from all over the world and bringing glory to the country was not a bad thing either.
