Chapter 174 Are you ordering food?
Chapter 174 Are you ordering food?
Although my time on Yongyang Island included sunshine, beaches, and beautiful women.
But for Lin Chen, he still preferred the environment and atmosphere of the East China Sea.
The most comfortable and warm place is when you are surrounded by family and loved ones.
Over the next few days, Lin Chen and Chen Xiaoxiao spent a few days of their actual high school summer vacation together.
Every morning, they would gather at the entrance of the residential area and then wander around various parts of the city.
The two left their mark and memories at almost every well-known scenic spot in Donghai.
But happy days are always short-lived. In the blink of an eye, Chen Xiaoxiao's planned trip to Antarctica was about to begin.
At Donghai Airport, Lin Chen came to see Chen Xiaoxiao off.
How long will you be gone this time?
"It will take about 25 days. I will first take a five-star flight to Santiago, and then travel to the Falkland Islands, South Georgia Island, South Shetland Islands and the Antarctic Peninsula. I will have 4 days to spend with penguins and enjoy the pristine ice and snow landscapes. Finally, I will return home from Iguazu."
By the time I return, it will be almost the same time we've gone to Beijing to report for duty.
"It'll take this long? Remember to be careful out there."
Lin Chen gave him a word of advice, still worried.
This was the first time he had been separated from Chen Xiaoxiao for such a long time since they reunited.
If it weren't for the promise that we should each have our own lives, he really wanted to go on a trip to Antarctica with her.
"Don't worry, I'm going with my dad this time! He'll definitely keep an eye on me."
Chen Cheng, standing to the side, also laughed and said, "Yes, Lin Chen, I will definitely keep an eye on Xiao Xiao."
Beside them, Meng Lan, who had come to see them off, pouted and said, "I only feel at ease when you're here. It would be better to let Lin Chen go with Xiao Xiao."
"Look at what you're saying, I'm an adult!"
"Can you cook for yourself? Can you do laundry? Besides studying and doing academic research, what else can you do? I bet Xiaoxiao will be the one taking care of you this time!"
Watching her parents bicker, Chen Xiaoxiao couldn't help but chuckle to herself, then looked at Lin Chen.
"Alright, it's almost time. We have to go. Take good care of yourself. I'll send you photos from now on."
"Ah."
After seeing Chen Xiaoxiao off, Lin Chen sighed.
However, he also made up his mind that during Xiaoxiao's absence, he must get the art project sorted out and then come up with a gift that Chen Xiaoxiao could keep as a family heirloom.
Upon returning from the airport, Lin Chen immediately went to see his art teacher, Cai Hua.
Since the college entrance examination, Lin Chen has not attended Teacher Cai's training class for some time.
However, after returning this time, he first contacted Teacher Cai and asked him to help him with some things.
Upon seeing Lin Chen, Cai Hua immediately greeted him with a grin, "Hey, our top scorer in the college entrance exam and math Olympiad champion is here!"
"Teacher Cai is joking; those are all just empty titles..."
"Don't pretend to be modest with me. Among the students I've taught, I'm afraid I'll never meet a student in my life who scored higher than you on the college entrance exam."
Cai Hua didn't have class today, so he was home alone.
He took out a few sheets of paper from his study and placed them in front of Lin Chen.
"This is the information you asked me to gather for you: art competitions and national-level art certificate exams that will be held in China during this period... Why did you ask me to collect this? You're already a top scorer in the college entrance exam, do you still have interest in this kind of thing?"
"I just wanted to test my abilities."
Lin Chen chuckled and replied, then picked up the competition information and certificate exam materials that Cai Hua had collected and began to look at them.
Actually, he wanted to do these things partly to confirm his own strength, as he said.
On the other hand, it is also to complete this new mission.
Cai Hua looked at Lin Chen and sighed deeply.
Lin Chen's artistic talent is probably the most amazing he has ever seen in his life.
This kid is just too amazing. He has such high artistic talent, and he's also so good at studying.
Otherwise, he would definitely have recommended Lin Chen to study at one of the best art schools.
Just then, he suddenly saw Lin Chen pick up a pen and start ticking things on the paper.
Cai Hua asked curiously, "Lin Chen, what are you doing?"
"Teacher Cai, I want to take all the competitions and certificate exams that I checked. Can you help me register?"
what?
Cai Hua took the paper.
Lin Chen had checked off almost every competition and certificate exam listed above.
Lin Chen even marked almost all the events in some competitions.
He was dumbfounded and said, "Are you ordering food? You want to participate in all these competitions? Do you know how much the registration fees alone cost?"
"Teacher Cai, I have money."
Seeing Lin Chen's confident smile, Cai Hua's gaze suddenly swept past Lin Chen's head and landed on a beverage bottle on the table behind him.
On the bottle, there is a smiling face that is exactly the same as the one in front of you.
I almost forgot this kid's already doing commercials...
He's not really short of money.
Cai Hua said helplessly, "Lin Chen, those competitions aren't something you can just sign up for if you have money. The national competitions you've chosen require at least an intermediate-level art certificate to register for."
You have the skills now, but without a certificate, they simply won't accept your application.
This regulation is normal.
After all, if there were no restrictions on some competitions, the number of people signing up would be too large, and the organizers simply wouldn't be able to accommodate them all.
What troubled Lin Chen was that he only had two months to complete his mission.
Many level exams are usually held twice a year, in spring and autumn.
What should I do?
"Haste makes waste. You don't need to rush into participating in so many competitions at once. Take it slow."
Seeing that Cai Hua couldn't come up with a solution either, Lin Chen had no choice but to accept reality.
He could take his time, but the system just won't let him...
By the time he actually gets those certificates, this mission will have already been completed.
Fortunately, Cai Hua is also a veteran in the art world.
After hearing Lin Chen's idea, he thought about it for a while and planned a route for Lin Chen to register for the competition.
According to his method, Lin Chen will be able to participate in at least one national-level art competition before the end of August.
"That's fine, I don't know what's the rush?"
Go back and prepare well; I'll take care of the registration.
"Thank you, Teacher Cai."
Lin Chen answered weakly.
After much deliberation, he realized he could only participate in one national competition. Even if he won all the awards, he wouldn't get many academic points after the task was completed.
His dream of getting rich overnight was ultimately shattered.
Just as he was about to leave, Cai Hua suddenly called out to him.
"Lin Chen, have you ever been a content creator on YouTube?"
"UP master? How would I, a student, have time to play that?" Lin Chen asked curiously.
"I didn't have that before, but you should have time in the future..."
Cai Hua thought for a moment and explained:
"Lin Chen, I think your current work is quite good, but everyone's aesthetic sense is different when it comes to art. The difference between men and women is even greater."
"Since you're planning to give your girlfriend a piece of art as a gift, you'd better listen to other people's opinions."
“In the past, the only way for us artists to get our work evaluated was to go to the art market and have it appraised. But now with the internet, everything has become much easier.”
"You can take pictures of your work and post them online for netizens to comment on."
"Among three people walking together, there must be one who can teach me. This might help you create better works."
Want to become a content creator (UP)?
That's a good idea...
