Disliked by everyone? She is clearly the most beloved one in the rich family!

Hearing this, Meng Yingnian felt a bit unbelievable. Was this really Mr. Wang? Could he have made a mistake?

This person also has the surname Wang, but he is not the leader of the Southern faction who is so powerful that he can kill everyone.

The feeling when this person spoke was exactly the same as that woman's, except that he didn't have the obvious aura of a superior, but instead had the feeling of a scoundrel at the bottom of society.

"Mr. Wang is right. Your family is so big and powerful, so it's probably easy for you to come up with 40 yuan."

Yu Zhi saw that Meng Yingnian was speechless. He didn't know what was going on with this Mr. Wang, and he had never heard Meng Yingnian say anything about him. However, the person who could make Meng Yingnian take the initiative to greet him should not be an unknown person.

Let them talk about their business affairs in the business world, but the most urgent task now is how to get the rights of the little girl into their own hands?

After seeing Mr. Wang, the woman seemed to have a backer and returned to her domineering attitude. The behavior that had just softened disappeared again.

"In just a few minutes, you paid me 40 yuan?"

There was no significant change in Mr. Wang's voice, but the woman shuddered noticeably when she heard it.

"But it doesn't matter. 40 is just a small amount of money. Just consider it as compensation to this little girl and as the prize money for this competition."

Mr. Wang did not make a big deal out of this matter, it seems that he still has a lot of power.

The little girl thought that she had just been bullied, and now she got 40 yuan. This pie-in-the-sky good thing made her hands tremble with excitement.

Mr. Wang casually signed a string of numbers on his check slip and handed it to the little girl.

"Mr. Meng, the next time we meet, it won't be in such a gentle setting."

Mr. Wang said something incoherent and then took the woman to the front seat.

Only then did Yu Zhi realize that he was also one of the judges. Why did he hold this sculpture competition? Yu Zhi felt that the fog in his mind seemed to have been cleared.

Why was that woman so afraid of the sculpture competition being disrupted? It must be because Mr. Wang was the organizer of the competition. If she messed up his plans, he would definitely retaliate, and she might even lose her financial sponsor.

Meng Yingnian was looking at Mr. Wang in front of him and was also deep in thought. He didn't expect that the first time they met would be in such a place and in such a strange story.

It's just that this Mr. Wang is completely different from the person Meng Yingnian imagined in his mind, not even a little bit. Logically speaking, Mr. Wang should be that kind of decisive and career-oriented strong man, not the somewhat wretched middle-aged man in front of him.

Meng Yingnian had some doubts about his own thoughts, but there was definitely no way to solve the current doubts. He could only wait for further investigation before making a decision.

The little girl held the check tightly in her hand, feeling her palms sweating. She wanted to put the check in her pocket, but was afraid of losing it accidentally.

This money can support her for a long time and can also quickly improve her family's life.

"Thank you so much. If I hadn't met you today, I would have nothing."

The little girl is a grateful person. She knows that whether it is the ranking in the sculpture competition or the money she won today, they are all related to Yu Zhi.

It was precisely because of Yu Zhi's existence that everything went so smoothly for her, otherwise today would have been a day of Mercury retrograde for her.

"It's okay. It's fate that we met. Your sculptures have their own unique style and characteristics. If you work on them more, you will definitely achieve great results."

The little girl loves to listen to Yu Zhi talk now. As soon as Yu Zhi opens his mouth, she can't help nodding her head with stars in her eyes.

Seeing the little girl's expression, Meng Yingnian felt a little jealous and vaguely blocked Yu Zhi behind him.

Yu Zhi felt helpless when he saw Meng Yingnian's actions, so he secretly put his hand on his waist and pinched it.

After watching the excitement, the judges over there began to quickly calculate the scores.

They have already reviewed almost all the entries and have a rough idea of the scores, but some minor details still need to be adjusted.

In order to ensure the fairness of the competition, the scoring process is kept completely confidential.

The host stepped onto the stage and read out the rankings. The girl's work wasn't ranked particularly high, somewhere in the middle, but she was already very satisfied with the result.

Almost all the rankings have been announced, with only the second and first place results yet to be announced. Currently, only Yu Zhi and the first contestant who presented are left.

At this point, no matter who gets first place, Yu Zhi can actually accept it.

Because he really couldn't find any fault with that work, and it had a very unique style, which made it easy for the judges to remember it at a glance. Moreover, it was presented at the beginning of the competition, which was eye-catching.

"The second place in the competition is Fenghua. The first place in the competition is Yuzhi."

Hearing this result, Meng Yingnian immediately hugged Yu Zhi into his arms. He knew that his baby was the most powerful person, and no matter what talented players appeared, they would not be able to compete with him.

Yu Zhi was both surprised and delighted to hear the result. After all, everyone wanted to win first place in a competition like this. Being able to defeat strong opponents and gain the judges' approval actually gave Yu Zhi more confidence in his sculpture.

"Young Madam is truly amazing."

Seeing the two of them hugging each other excitedly, Chen Xun tactfully pulled Meng Yu back a few steps to avoid interfering with their celebration.

Hearing what Chen Qun muttered, Meng Yu couldn't help but nodded.

No matter in what field, as long as you can reach the top, you are the strongest talent.

At this time, Meng Yu thought to himself: In what areas can he show his talents?

He felt like he had always been an ordinary person, without any shining points. He also wanted to one day stand on the stage like Meng Yingnian or Yu Zhi, feeling the spotlight and realizing his own ideals and values in life.

"Everyone has their own unique shining points, including you."

When Meng Yu heard Chen Xun's words, she realized that Chen Xun was trying to comfort her.

Sure enough, Chen Xun is very good at capturing human nature and can detect other people's emotions without interruption.

"Thank you."

Meng Yu said this in a low voice. He didn't know if Chen Xun heard it, but he was indeed grateful.

Yu Zhi's face flushed red as he was hugged by Meng Yingnian. He could feel everyone's eyes on him, but Meng Yingnian seemed unaware of it. He didn't care about other people's eyes at all. There was only this person in his eyes.

"Now, please come up to the stage to receive your awards."

Calling it a prize is actually a bit sloppy.

Because they only made some trophies, they have no other use except for their ornamental value and being able to show the honors they have won.

However, the fundamental purpose of this competition is not to win any prize money, but to become famous among these business tycoons and famous sculptors. This will enable them to quickly accumulate capital and go further and further in the sculpture industry.

When they stood on the podium, Yu Zhi and Feng Hua stood shoulder to shoulder.

Fenghua is also very tall, with a very standard figure, a bit like a model. He also has a very distinctive appearance, with a rather aggressive look.

Yu Zhi looked at him and thought to himself, if Fenghua didn't become a sculptor, being a model would be a good choice.

"Your work is very well portrayed, especially the eyes, which are very lively and easy to capture the emotions. I really lost this competition and I am ashamed of myself."

Fenghua stood beside Yu Zhi and spoke abruptly, but the meaning behind her words was very clear.

He did not speak nonsense just because he lost to Yu Zhi. Instead, he expressed his thoughts very sincerely.

Yu Zhi felt that his humble attitude towards learning would surely help him shine in the sculpture world.

"Your work is also very unique. The combination of Chinese and Western cultures is very clever. I feel that it can open up a unique artistic space. I think your future achievements will be greater than mine."

Hearing Yu Zhi's words, Fenghua smiled gently.

As soon as he smiled, his appearance changed immediately, as if a wolfdog suddenly turned into a soft kitten.

After the two received the awards, Fenghua followed Yu Zhi directly.

"I couldn't say this on the podium just now, but I really wanted to ask you, is there a prototype for this work? Or did you come up with it out of thin air?"

This kind of question did not involve any secrets, so Yu Zhi was very calm.

"I created this work because I was able to accurately capture the old lady's expression that day. I think it has great creative significance and value, especially because I can depict her likeness in a sculpture and let more people see it and resonate with more people. I think this is the true meaning of sculpture."

Yu Zhi's words made Feng Hua nod continuously. He agreed with Yu Zhi's idea.

Fenghua wanted to say something else, but his cell phone suddenly rang. He looked at the name displayed on it, smiled apologetically at Yu Zhi, and walked aside.

"Hello? Teacher."

"You little brat, is the game over yet? Why haven't you called to report it yet?"

Opposite him was Fenghua's teacher, Master Yi, who had a rather bad temper.

This was the first time for his little apprentice to go out and participate in a competition. He was feeling confused and uncomfortable at home, and he still hadn't received any news. This time, he couldn't hold back any longer and called.

"After the competition, teacher, I won second place in this competition. I'm sorry to have brought shame to you."

Although she said so, there was no trace of embarrassment in Fenghua's tone. Instead, she sounded quite righteous.

Master Yi was a little puzzled when he heard that Fenghua only got second place.

Because he had also seen Fenghua's works. In fact, with his level in the country, if there were no very master-level people participating, he would almost certainly take the lead. Master Yi couldn't think of any newcomer who could compete with Fenghua.

"If you lose, you lose. Your sculpture skills are just so-so anyway. I told you to just study hard, but you insisted on going out to participate in some competition. Now you've ruined my reputation."

Master Yi's mouth was like a barrage of cannons, leaving Fenghua unable to get a word in.

"By the way, who did you lose to in this competition? I don't remember those old guys taking in any apprentices recently."

"Yu Zhi."

Fenghua clearly remembered Yu Zhi's name, or perhaps he would never forget it in his life.

"what?"

Master Yi didn't hear clearly what Fenghua was saying.

"Yu Zhi."

Fenghua repeated it again, and Master Yi finally heard the name clearly, but he had never heard of this name before.

"What is this man's background?"

Fenghua paused, looking at Yu Zhi, who was chatting with Meng Yingnian in the distance, and sighed. "He's a very young kid, probably still in college. If I'm not mistaken, he must have taken systematic courses on his sculptures from a university teacher, and the rest are his own creations."

"What? There are actually geniuses like this now. I'm telling you, hurry up and pin it to me. Send me the location and I'll rush over right away."
