“Director Chen, who’s that guy? Do you know who made this mess? Since our Chinese Arts Association’s establishment, no one has ever said that our competitions are corrupted. That guy is really arrogant, to even scold the judges,” said one of the employees angrily.

“What?” When Director Chen heard this, he said, “That guy even dares to scold the judges? D*mn it, I have to see what this guy is up to.”

Director Chen, filled with rage, went on Weibo. When he saw the discussion, he was completely dumbfounded. This guy was really too despicable.

“Director Chen, what do we do now?” asked the employee.

Director Chen said, “What do you mean ‘what do we do’? Of course, we have to clarify ourselves on the website. What do they know? These drawings have been judged by several teachers. How could those people who don’t even understand Chinese arts know better than our masters?”

The employee nodded. That indeed made sense. No matter what, the important thing now was to quickly clarify themselves. They couldn’t let things continue in the current direction. If things were to continue this way, the outcome of the association would probably be terrible.

The Internet was now already in a ruckus.

“Why hasn’t the Chinese Arts Association come out to speak yet? There’s clearly a problem with these two drawings. The awards should be reversed.”

“Cheh. I feel like Master Lin is the one who’s corrupted. Everyone in his Nanshan Children’s Welfare Institute received awards. If you think about it, it’s definitely not possible.”

“What the person above said makes a bit of sense. Anyway, I’m just a spectator. I’ll sit here and see how things turn out.”

…

At that moment, the Chinese Arts Association came out to clarify themselves on the Internet.

Chinese Arts Association: “Regarding the corruption accusation on the Internet, we guarantee that there is absolutely no such thing. The teachers who judged the Youth Chinese Arts Cup are all cornerstones of the Chinese arts world. People who don’t understand Chinese arts can only see the outer appearance of the drawings. As for masters, they look at the meaning and inner qualities…”

This explanation made everyone a little stunned. They didn’t know who to believe.

Many netizens quickly went to comment on Lin Fan’s Weibo page, “Master Lin, what should we say now? The association has come out to clear themselves, saying that we don’t understand. We really don’t understand but what do you think of this?”

“Why do I keep feeling as if something isn’t right? But I can’t really figure out what it is.”

“I still believe Master Lin. I’ve been humiliated before in the past. I now trust Master Lin unconditionally.”

“Me too.”

” Can’t you guys have your own opinions? I think that the association is right about this. Even the experts have spoken, what problems could there be?”

“Cheh. Master Lin is an expert too, okay?”

…

Lin Fan: “Chinese Arts Association, could you guys be a little less shameless? Alright, you were talking about inner qualities, right? Then let me slowly tell you. This drawing of mountain water…”

Lin Fan immediately explained the difference between the two drawings in detail. If the opposition still decided to be shameless, Lin Fan would really be furious.

This matter had caused a very heated debate.

The Youth Chinese Arts Cup had originally been just a small competition. It wouldn’t have drawn much attention.

However, after the two sides, Master Lin and the Chinese Arts Association, started arguing, the Internet had erupted as well.

Even some people who didn’t know anything joined in.

“Who is this Master Lin? Is he an expert? The masters from the Chinese Arts Association have already spoken, what is he still arguing about?”

“That’s right. One mustn’t be too greedy. You’ve already taken all of the second prizes but you still want the first prize. That’s ridiculous.”

“F*ck. Qingzhou citizen here. Who dares to bully our Master Lin? Do you want to die?”

“I’m a Qingzhou citizen too. Corruption is corruption. Don’t try to defend it.”

“Qingzhou dogs are here. They’re protecting their owner.”

When Lin Fan saw these comments on the Internet, he couldn’t help but shake his head. He had never thought that…sigh…

Wu You Lan cried out angrily, “How can they be so shameless?”

Lin Fan said, “Initially, I thought that the Chinese Arts Association was a good place. Because of Elder Zheng, I joined this association. Now, it seems like things are not as I thought. I quit.”

“What?” Fraud Tian was taken aback. “Don’t be too rash, kid. Why don’t you give the Chinese Arts Association President a call?”

Lin Fan waved his hand. “No need. Now that I think about it, this Chinese Arts Association is even worse than the Chinese Martial Arts Association.”

Xiao Chen looked at the situation online and laughed coldly. This wasn’t something that the opposition could win by saying a few words. Chinese Arts Association would always have their way. Even if those Chinese arts masters on the Internet saw that something was wrong, they wouldn’t dare to say it unless they wanted to go against the Chinese Arts Association.

At that moment, Xiao Chen started typing on the keyboard. He felt that he had to do something, otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to face himself.

Chinese Arts Association Official: “According to our investigations, there has been a dispute about the second prize winner, Lil’ Fatty’s artwork. Hence, his second prize will be temporarily revoked. After the various Chinese arts masters analyze things, the name list will be decided once again. Everyone, please trust us. The Chinese Arts Association does things fairly. There is definitely no corruption…”

“F*ck! This move is too savage, isn’t it?”

When the netizens who supported Master Lin saw this, they instantly exploded in rage. Lil’ Fatty had been removed from the second prize winners list. That was too harsh. It was completely a show of their authority.

Cloud Street.

“They’re absolutely ridiculous!” Wu You Lan was red with anger from seeing this Weibo post.

Fraud Tian said, “F*ck, I can’t take this anymore. I want to go there and kill them. I’ll let them know how powerful Ba Gua Zhang is.”

At that moment, everyone looked at Lin Fan. They were wondering what Lin Fan would do. The opposite party was being completely unreasonable.

Even if they said they were letting masters analyze it, it was needless to say that Lil’ Fatty would lose his prize.

*clatter*

Lin Fan opened his drawer. He took out his Chinese Arts Association Senior Member ID and furiously tore it in half before slamming it onto the table.

Fraud Tian and the rest knew that Lin Fan was angry. And he wasn’t just a little angry.

Weibo.

Lin Fan: “As a Chinese Arts Association Member, I’ve seen today the under-the-table manipulations that happen in the association. The winners of the competition aren’t decided based on the artworks but decided based on various underhanded means. From this day onwards, I quit the association and I will no longer be part of the Chinese Arts Association.”

When this post and the photo were uploaded, everyone cried out in shock.

“F*ck, Master Lin was a member of the Chinese Arts Association?”

“That can’t be. I know that Master Lin knows how to draw Chinese art but I never thought that he was a member. This situation isn’t quite right.”

“Could it be that the association didn’t know that Master Lin was their own member?”

“This…”

Chinese Arts Association.

When Director Chen saw this Weibo post, his expression slowly changed. He felt that something was wrong.

Meanwhile, in another conference room.

Zheng Zhong Shan looked at the crowd below him. “Everyone, a month from now, it will be time for Chinese arts to step out into the world. Right now, we need thirty artworks to be used as exhibition artworks. This time, it’s not just about our Chinese Arts Association. This is about fighting for our nation’s glory. We must all work hard.”

Yue Qiu Ju Shi said, “Elder Zheng, I think that we should invite Elder Lin over to produce an artwork. Just one artwork from Elder Lin would definitely shock the world.”

Elder Zheng said, “That’s for sure. After this conference ends, I’ll give him a call.”

Yue Qiu Ju Shi said, “There’s no need to wait until the conference ends, I’ll call him right now. He’s a member of our association. Besides him, no one else is competent enough for this task.”
