Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

Cloud Street!

Lin Fan was really very angry. He had never expected anyone to be so unbridled. They were simply behaving lawlessly. If Lin Fan hadn’t been so tough, this corruption would definitely have eaten him up.

Moreover, it seemed that the opposition was clearly trying to eat him up. They weren’t letting anyone else have a say in this.

The opposition was made up of people from the Chinese Arts Association who were in charge of the Youth Chinese Arts Cup. Even if outsiders were not convinced, the outsiders couldn’t do anything. The Chinese Arts Association was suppressing everyone with their authority.

*Ring ring*

At that moment, the phone rang. Lin Fan answered it without even looking.

Yue Qiu Ju Shi said eagerly, “Elder Lin, this is Elder Yue. There’s an overseas exhibition next month and our Chinese Arts Association will be putting up thirty art pieces. Everyone has discussed this and we’ve decided that you should draw the final artwork.”

“Draw my a*s. I’ve already quit the Chinese Arts Association. I’m hanging up,” Lin Fan shouted angrily. He immediately hung up. He had a very bad opinion about the Chinese Arts Association now. He didn’t even want to care about Yue Qiu Ju Shi and the rest.

“Huh?!” On the other end of the call, Yue Qiu Ju Shi was dumbfounded. Then. He looked at everyone around. “What happened to Master Lin? Why does it seem like he’s very angry?”

Suddenly, Yue Qiu Ju Shi cried out in shock, “Oh no! I just heard Master Lin say that he’s quitting the Chinese Arts Association. What’s going on?”

Everyone was taken aback. They looked at each other in puzzlement, wondering what was the meaning of this. Why would Elder Lin say something like that?

Zheng Zhong Shan felt that something wasn’t right. He hurriedly asked, “What’s going on, Elder Yue? How did Elder Lin say it just now?”

Yue Qiu Ju Shi said anxiously, “Elder Lin just said that he’s leaving the association.”

When Zheng Zhong Shan heard this, he instantly exploded. He quickly snatched over the phone. “What’s going on? What is Elder Lin doing? He can’t leave the association. Even over my dead body, he can’t do that.”

Tao Shi Gang said calmly, “Don’t be anxious, Elder Zheng. There must be something that we don’t know. Otherwise, Elder Lin wouldn’t talk about quitting the association. But what exactly happened?”

Zheng Zhong Shan waved his big hand. “I don’t care what is going on. Elder Lin absolutely must not quit the association.”

After saying that, he immediately called Elder Lin. But to his disbelief, Elder Lin didn’t answer the call.

This...

Zheng Zhong Shan was stunned. This left him at a loss. He had no idea at all about what had happened. Even if there had been any displeasure, Elder Lin should at least have given a reason. This situation left everyone confused.

Tao Shi Gang said, “Elder Zheng, no one answered your call?”

Zheng Zhong Shan nodded. “Mmm.”

At that moment, Tao Shi Gang felt that this situation was probably complicated. For Elder Lin to not even answer Elder Zheng’s call, he must have gotten involved in an exceptionally infuriating incident. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have behaved like that.

Then, one of the masters suddenly cried out in shock, “I think I know the reason.”

Everyone’s gazes shifted over. Elder Zheng asked anxiously, “What’s the reason?”

After a long while, the master said, “You’ll know if you look at Weibo.”

...

Cloud Street.

Lin Fan saw the incoming call and knew that it was Elder Zheng’s number. However, he was in a very unpleasant mood. He didn’t even want to answer Elder Zheng’s call.

The situation on the Internet had split into two sides. The netizens who were on Lin Fan’s side were maniacally supporting Lin Fan while the trolls made up the majority of the netizens.

“Haha, I’m dying of laughter. This guy has been shamed into a rage. He even tore his certificate and wants to quit the association. I think the association probably didn’t agree with his requests, so he wants to cause trouble for them.”

“He wants to cause trouble? Do you think that’s possible? I think this Chinese Arts Association is very fair and that guy probably wanted to make a shady deal because he was a member of the association. However, the association refused.”

“That makes a lot of sense. But this Master Lin really thinks too high of himself. The world doesn’t revolve around anyone. Does he think the association would feel threatened just because he’s quitting? He’s just dreaming.”

Hey, troll, you don’t know sh*t. Master Lin knows that the association is corrupted, that’s why he isn’t willing to be part of them.”

“That’s right. I support the guy above.”

...

At the association.

Director Chen was now a little nervous. Sweat kept on dripping from his forehead. He had not expected this guy to be a member of the Chinese Arts Association as well. He had never seen this guy before.

A staff member said, “Director, that guy is actually a member of the association but he’s saying that the association is corrupted. I remember that our association has a written rule that the association’s interest comes above everything. No matter what, members are not allowed to talk badly about the association publicly.”

“Is there such a rule?” asked Director Chen suspiciously.

The staff member nodded, “There is. I remember it.”

Director Chen heaved a sigh of relief. “That’s good. As a member of the association, this guy said on the Internet that the association is corrupted. This is completely tainting the association’s reputation. According to the rules, we have the right to revoke his membership rights.”

Zheng Zhong Shan had been looking at Lin Fan’s Weibo the whole time. Everyone had unpleasant looks on their faces.

Bam!

At that moment, Zheng Zhong Shan slammed the table furiously. “What the heck is going on?!”

Yue Qiu Ju Shi was silent for a moment before saying, “Elder Zheng, I know now. Recently, we organized a Youth Chinese Arts Cup. It was for children below the age of fourteen. Elder Lin manages a Children’s Welfare Institute, right? He must have sent them all to participate. Now, he’s comparing the first prize winner and the second prize winner’s artworks. That’s probably what made Elder Lin angry.”

Zheng Zhong Shan had seen all the posts on Weibo. “I don’t care what’s the situation. I just want to know who manages our association’s official Weibo and who were the judges of this competition. Just what kind of problems were involved?”

One of the Chinese arts masters said, “Elder Zheng, Elder Lin said that there’s corruption in the judging. Why don’t we look at the two artworks?”

“There’s no need to look. I trust Elder Lin. What I want to know now is who had the ability to say such things on behalf of the association? If Elder Lin really leaves the association because of this, I’ll f*cking skin him alive.” Ever since Zheng Zhong Shan had started specializing in Chinese arts, his temper had changed significantly. He had become less reckless and rash. However, because of this incident, everyone could tell that Elder Zheng was on the verge of exploding in rage.

“I think Xiao Chen handled this incident. The association’s official Weibo has always been managed by him,” said Tao Shi Gang.

At that moment, Zheng Zhong Shan stood up. “All of you, come with me. I want to see who gave him permission.”

Looking at Elder Zheng’s rage-filled expression, Yue Qiu Ju Shi pulled on Tao Shi Gang. “Elder Zheng is going to go mad. Things are looking dangerous.”

Tao Shi Gang had a very unpleasant look on his face. “Go mad? Even I want to kill somebody.”

“Er!” Yue Qiu Ju Shi was startled. “Calm down, Elder Tao, calm down!”
