The next day!
Fraud Tian looked at Lin Fan, who was busy working, and couldn’t help but ask, “What are you doing? Where are these words from?”
Lin Fan had already mounted up the calligraphy works and was about to hang them up in the shop to give it a little literary feel. Although he didn’t understand this field very much, putting up a front couldn’t be bad.
“How are these words? They’re all written by me. Aren’t they just grand and magnificent, like the world’s best calligraphy?” Lin Fan praised himself delightedly. These were great works by himself and it felt good to place them in the shop.
“They’re alright, just slightly worse than mine.” Fraud Tian was a crude man. How could he have known how to appreciate these things?
Lin Fan glanced over at Fraud Tian and said, “What do you know? Take a look at these two paintings. Not bad, right? They’re drawn by two masters of Chinese traditional arts and they’re probably worth several tens of thousands on the market.
“Who are you trying to fool? I, Tian, have never even seen any famous paintings in my life. You’re saying that this painting is worth several tens of thousands? I wouldn’t want it even if you gave it to me.” Of course, Fraud Tian didn’t believe it. How could this kid know any masters? Even if I tell a ghost, the ghost wouldn’t believe me!
Zhao Zhong Yang said, “That’s true. It was really drawn by masters.”
He had witnessed the whole scene for himself. When Brother Lin had won over the two masters with his supreme art skills, Zhao Zhong Yang had been completely astonished. He couldn’t quite figure out how Brother Lin was so brilliant. He was simply too brilliant.
Fraud Tian waved his hand and said, “I don’t trust you all. I don’t even trust a single punctuation mark in what you just said.”
Lin Fan and Zhao Zhong Yang made eye contact for a moment, then burst into laughter. Fraud Tian could doubt them if he wanted to but if he really knew how much this was worth, he would definitely worship the paintings like his ancestry.
Lin Fan didn’t know what had happened to the calligraphy that he had given to Zhao Ming Qing the previous day either. But meanwhile, Zhao Ming Qing was in his study room, studying the ‘Various Types of Typhoid Illnesses’. He frequently looked up once in a while at the calligraphy work that was mounted on his wall.
‘老当益壮’. Old but vigorous.
Why did it feel a little strange when he looked at it?
But it was a gift from his teacher. Even if it was even stranger, he would still have to mount it in his study room. If he didn’t do that and it was discovered by his teacher, he wouldn’t be able to face his teacher. If his teacher got angry, he would really be tragic.
Ring ring
Zhao Ming Qing’s phone rang.
The voice on the other end of the call was rather polite and respectful. “Elder Zhao, you haven’t been to the academy in two days. Did something happen?”
Zhao Ming Qing had been completely absorbed in the ‘Various Types of Typhoid Illnesses’. When he received this call, he suddenly awoke from his daze. It seemed that he had indeed not gone to the academy for two days straight. Including the current day, it had been three days.
“It’s nothing much. I’ll be coming in the afternoon,” said Zhao Ming Qing after thinking for a moment. The Chinese medical knowledge in ‘Various Types of Typhoid Illnesses’ was plentiful and he needed some time to digest it. He had gradually started to understand some parts, which he hadn’t understood before, after his teacher’s guidance but he still needed a deeper understanding to get a thorough grasp of it.
After hanging up, Zhao Ming Qing saw that it was still early and continued to immerse himself in the writings.
Zhao Ming Qing’s wife had long gotten used to his current lifestyle of being absorbed in his work. As long as he was happy, it was fine.
In the afternoon.
Lin Fan drove his car towards Nanshan Children’s Welfare Institute.
At that moment, he saw that quite a number of people were gathered at the roadside far up in front. He could roughly make out a person lying down on the ground in the middle of the crowd.
He thought for a moment, then looked at the weather.
Since he had already come across this, he should stop to take a look.
He stopped his car at the side.
Lin Fan broke through the crowd and saw a middle-aged lady lying on the road. He saw that the lady had been overworked and because of the hot weather on top of that, she had fainted onto the ground.
