Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations
Regarding the situation on the Internet, Lin Fan wasn’t really bothered. They could discuss whatever they wanted on the Internet. Lin Fan hadn’t taken any backdoors. For Elder Dog to receive the award, it was because of his own deeds that had touched others.
Amidst all this controversy, the day of the award ceremony arrived.
At home.
Lin Fan was dressed formally. This time, although he wasn’t going to be receiving the award, he still had to dress formally. Then, he looked towards the sofa.
“Doggy, how many times have I told you to hurry up and wash yourself up? Do you even want to go?” Lin Fan said.
“Woof woof!”
Elder Dog jumped off the sofa and scurried into the toilet. He cleverly turned on the tap and waited for the water to fill up the sink before lying inside. He added some shower gel to clean himself up. Then, he stood in the bathroom and shook his whole body, shaking himself dry.
The current Elder Dog was already unlike a normal mutt. He was a spirit dog and he possessed certain powers.
Lin Fan looked at the time. It was about time. He gestured with his hand and said, “Doggy, let’s go.”
Shanghai, award ceremony!
The decorations at the venue was similar to a musical award ceremony. There were red carpets and all. Among the Touching China’s Top Ten People, there were some who had been chosen because they had given up their lives for a certain cause. In such a solemn event, perhaps it didn’t feel appropriate for them to be such fancy decorations.
However, these decorations were a sign of respect for the ten of them. They deserved such a grand treatment.
The reporters were all waiting.
Some of the people who had been chosen had come personally. Facing the reporters’ interview, they all smiled. To be able to receive such an honor made them very happy.
Meanwhile, some of them were unable to come as they had already passed away. Instead, their family members came. They had experienced grief in seeing their loved ones pass. Now that they saw the society’s respect for their loved ones, they felt proud of their loved ones’ sacrifices.
Soon, Lin Fan had driven Elder Dog to the venue. Then, he stopped his car by the sidewalk to let Elder Dog and himself enter the venue.
When the reporters who had just finished their interview saw him, their eyes lit up and they scurried over.
“Master Lin…”
The greatest controversy regarding this year’s awards was that a dog had been chosen. This was unacceptable to many people, because to them, it was too unreal. Some people who were even more agitated felt that it was blaspheme.
Lin Fan saw that the number of reporters was increasing. He carried Elder Dog in his embrace and waved at the reporters.
“Don’t interview me today. I’m not receiving the award today. It’s him,” said Lin Fan as he pointed at Elder Dog. “If you want to interview someone, interview him.”
These words made the reporters feel very helpless. This dog couldn’t even speak. How could they interview him?
“Master Lin, do you have anything to say about your dog receiving the award?” A reporter had broken through the large crowd and placed his microphone in front of Lin Fan. Then, he continued, “Right now, the whole country’s citizens are disputing over this matter. Do you think this is a good or bad thing?”
Lin Fan smiled. “It’s not good for me to talk about this. However, you guys will know when the award ceremony starts, won’t you?”
The reporters wouldn’t let him off just like that. “Master Lin, some people on the Internet have said that you manipulated the results so that your pet would get the award.”
Regarding this issue, Lin Fan felt that he had to say something about it. They were slandering him.
“My dear reporter, do you think that’s possible? I don’t have authority, nor do I have money. If I can manipulate the award results, wouldn’t that mean that anyone can do that? I’m just a commoner,” said Lin Fan humbly.
But even though he said this, whether other people would believe it was a separate matter.
