A Valiant Life

Nanshan Children’s Welfare Institute.

“Everybody, be quiet. We’re going to learn a tune now.” Lin Fan looked at the children as he taught them patiently.

At the same time, the teachers that he had hired walked along the two sides to help the children make adjustments.

To them, the children of the welfare institute received really high-end education. These children were able to come into contact with all sorts of things. The newly-started piano classes, in particular, made them very surprised.

Mainly, the tunes played by Master Lin had taken their breaths away.

Although they hadn’t listened to famous performers live before, to them, Master Lin’s performance was even more inspirational than those international masters’ performances. This kind of inspiration could not be described with words, it could only be felt with one’s heart.

They saw that these children, after listening to the performance, had been entranced by the piano. Every day, the children would look forward to the piano classes the most.

Jiang Hui was communicating softly with the other teachers, “I feel like these children are very smart. They learn everything exceptionally quickly.”

“Yeah, I feel that too. At their age, addition and subtraction involving hundreds are considered very difficult but after teaching them once, they all understood it. They can even infer many more things from what I teach them. What geniuses!”

“Perhaps this is God’s fairness. He’s given these children clever minds.”

“But I feel like these children are a little too smart.”

With Lin Fan’s current capabilities, he naturally heard their conversation. He laughed in his heart. This was all normal. After taking the perfect-grade little intelligence pills, these children were not like average children anymore. With time, they would definitely become people that the society cannot ignore.

When that happens, countless top-level geniuses would walk out of Nanshan Children’s Welfare Institute. How satisfying would that feel!

Of course, at the moment, the children had to work hard to charge themselves up. In order to spread their wings and soar like eagles, they still had a way to go.

The lesson ended.

The children were deeply interested. But the task hadn’t been completed as of yet.

However, there was no rush. Lin Fan would come whenever he had the time. Right now, he wasn’t really after completing the Encyclopedia’s tasks anymore.

These days were passing by rather comfortably.

Director Huang walked in from outside and came to Lin Fan’s side. She said softly, “Master Lin, a group of people are outside looking for you.”

“Who are they?” asked Lin Fan curiously.

“I don’t know. They seem like celebrities,” said Director Huang.

Lin Fan furrowed his brows. He wasn’t very keen to see celebrities but since they were already here, he naturally had to go and see them. Otherwise, other people would blame him for being impolite. That wouldn’t be good.

The conference room.

Three males and a female sat inside. They spoke a little strangely. It didn’t sound like traditional mandarin but instead, it was mixed with a bit of Hong Kong accent.

“Being able to meet with Master Lin is making me a little nervous,” said a middle-aged man in a jacket. He appeared bold and powerful. He took a look around and felt that the environment here was pretty good.

“Master Lin is very famous in the country. He’s also a young man who’s worthy of respect. Although he’s young, he has done things that most people wouldn’t be able to do in their lifetimes and things that they might not even dare to do,” the only female said with a smile. Her tone was filled with reverence.

As the group of them were chatting.

The conference room door was pushed open.

Director Huang accompanied Lin Fan by his side. “Master Lin, they’re here.”

Lin Fan looked at the four people in the conference room and felt that two of them were very familiar. He couldn’t help but start to recall.

Aren’t these two the famous celebrities from Hong Kong?

Li Meng Hua and Zheng Long.

But before Lin Fan could say anything, the man in the jacket went forward passionately and grabbed Lin Fan’s hand. “Master Lin, nice to meet you. I’m Wang Ke Hao.”

“The very famous director from Hong Kong who directed ‘Police Prison Life’?” Lin Fan was familiar with this name. When he thought about it, he instantly remembered.

Wang Ke Hao smiled. “Yes, yes. For Master Lin to know about me, it is a great honor.”

“It’s nothing. I grew up watching your films!” Lin Fan smiled.

Wang Ke Hao knew how amazing Master Lin was. He was extremely proud but he didn’t show it. Then, he said hurriedly, “Master Lin, let me introduce to you. This is Li Meng Hua, Zheng Long, and my assistant, Miss Zhou Xia Jun.”

“I know. I know these two. I grew up watching their films too.” Lin Fan seemed to only know this sentence. However, it was the truth.

When he had been young, he had indeed watched many of their films. Even now, he could remember many scenes.

Li Meng Hua was all smiles. He extended his hand and said with a Hong Kong accent, “Master Lin, it’s nice to meet you.”

Lin Fan replied politely, “Nice to meet you. Welcome.”

Zheng Long had a curious gaze. “Master Lin, it’s the first time we’ve met. Nice to meet you.”

Lin Fan grabbed Zheng Long’s hand and replied politely as well. Then, he took a look at Zheng Long and couldn’t help but say with a smile, “Mister Zheng’s physiognomy is very good.”

Hong Kong people, in particular, celebrities, were very trusting towards things like fortune-telling and Feng Shui.

Zheng Long was a little puzzled. But Wang Ke Hao explained, “Master Lins is proficient in many things. In particular, metaphysics is one of his specialties.”

Lin Fan waved his hand. “It’s nothing. It’s because it’s my first time seeing celebrities that I’ve only been able to see on television in the past that I’m talking more than usual. But your physiognomy is really very good. You are reserved and humble, kind, upright, and you have good luck. But be careful of vile characters. You have to be alert.”

“Thank you, thank you,” Zheng Long thanked him. But he seemed not to be concerned about Lin Fan’s words. He only responded politely since Lin Fan had praised him.

Lin Fan didn’t bother either. Instead, he asked, “So why are you all here for me today?”

Wang Ke Hao replied, “Master Lin, this is the situation. We are prepared to shoot a film in Shanghai. Because the setting is important, we would like to borrow and use Master Lin’s welfare institute as a setting. Secondly, we’re here to pay you a visit. After all, we will be in Shanghai for a long period of time. Hence, we came to pay our respects to you. If we come across trouble, we’d have to request Master Lin’s help.”

When Lin Fan heard that, he instantly laughed. “Director Wang is too courteous. As long as you do your filming according to the regulations, what trouble would you encounter? Don’t worry, Shanghai is very safe. As for borrowing the welfare institute to use as a setting, it’s possible. However, you have to be careful about the people entering and leaving. After all, this is a special place and we can’t have too many people inside at once. Also, please be mindful of safety.”

“Of course, of course. Master Lin, you don’t have to worry. I will definitely take care of everything. I definitely won’t bring you any trouble,” said Wang Ke Hao.

“That’s good.” Lin Fan was rather easy to negotiate with. Especially to good people, he was easy to communicate with.

Wang Ke Hao said, “Master Lin, would you do us the honor of joining us for dinner tonight?”

Lin Fan was rather interested in this. “Alright, no problem. I shall not reject.”
