There was silence all around, and then there was the sound of gasping for air.
Pairs of eyes all fell on Fan Tingting and her four children.
It's just that they are too young to avoid attracting attention.
The Southeast Province Youth Calligraphy and Painting Competition is held every three years.
Because of the title of youth, there is naturally an age limit for the contestants.
The upper limit is twenty-seven years old. Anyone who is older than that will be disqualified.
There is no age requirement for the lower limit, because those who made the rules thought it was unnecessary.
Because as long as you sign up for the competition, you must have one work participating in the shortlist review.
The shortlisting review itself is a threshold. Without certain calligraphy and painting skills, you are not even qualified to be shortlisted.
In order to have the calligraphy and painting skills required to be shortlisted, the contestants cannot be too young.
After all, the skills in calligraphy and painting require accumulation over many years and cannot be achieved overnight.
So under normal circumstances, the contestants are all over ten years old.
Of course there are those below, but not many, and they are usually over fifteen years old.
There has never been anyone under the age of fifteen, not to mention that Sun Xiaoqi, the oldest among the four of them, is only twelve years old.
It doesn’t matter if one of them is young, but four of them appear together, which is even more unbelievable.
It is true that it is unbelievable, but the commonly used QR codes cannot be faked.
Passing the verification means that the four people have indeed passed the shortlisting review in an upright manner.
Fan Tingting frowned and whispered: "These people are so annoying, they look like they have never seen the world!"
The staff member was right next to her and could hear her clearly.
She couldn't help but blush, feeling very embarrassed.
Because it was she who questioned Fan Tingting's identity before, doesn't it mean she has never seen the world?
Many people in the crowd had made sarcastic remarks just now, and now their faces were all green and red.
However, each one of them was still very unconvinced and looked strange.
"So what if the verification is passed? It's all reviewed online anyway. Who knows if there's any fraud?"
"That's right, this is a formal on-site audition.
Those who have to hand in their works within the stipulated time will be eliminated if they fail to do so!"
"To take a step back, even if there is no fraud, passing the verification only means that they have the qualifications to be shortlisted.
Maybe I just crossed the line and couldn’t pass the audition!”
The crowd immediately became lively again, chatting with each other.
"You can't blame the children for this. After all, they are young, how much can they understand?
This is all the responsibility of adults who want to use children to become famous."
"This method is so despicable! It is equivalent to consuming the child's talent.
Not only is it not beneficial to the child’s growth, it will also mislead the child and harm the child!”
"This kind of bad behavior must be resisted, just like how many parents use their children to take videos.
They have not considered the impact on the children at all, and it is completely selfish!"
Yang Haoran was speechless. He originally thought that this kind of scene mostly happened on the Internet, but he didn't expect that it was the same in reality.
These guys are typical keyboard warriors and trolls, and they are mindless.
"Have you said enough? Each and every one of them said it with great righteousness, as if they were noble!
In fact, it’s not bullshit at all. Have you ever understood the situation?
These four children are all my students, and I will be fully responsible for them.
And I dare to say it bluntly in front of everyone, there are not many people here who can surpass these four students like me! Fate Novel
So you are qualified to make irresponsible remarks, so shut up!"
Yang Haoran directly attacked him, leaving everyone in the group stunned.
After hesitating for a while, someone recovered and sneered.
"Who can't tell lies? So you are the shameless teacher!
You actually used your own students as a gimmick, I don’t think you have any real ability, bah!”
"Toad yawned, your tone is not small!
Why don't you say let them all enter the top 100 of this competition? Wouldn't it be even more shocking?"
The crowd groaned, full of ridicule and criticism of Yang Haoran.
Yang Haoran has seen this kind of scene too many times, it's just a bunch of hot chicks.
Whoever takes it seriously will lose and will eventually be slapped in the face by the facts.
Fan Tingting and the others are younger, but they are not as calm as Yang Haoran.
Sun Xiaoqi was the first to stand up, her face flushed.
"What qualifications do you have to question Teacher Yang?
Compared with Teacher Yang, you are all a bunch of rubbish.
Teacher Yang can kill all of you instantly just by taking out a piece of work!"
Liu Zijun pushed out her small breasts with a proud look on her face.
"Looking at how hopeless you all are, you have grown so old in vain.
Is the top 100 in the competition very powerful? Let me tell you, the lowest goal for the four of us is to be within the top 100!
My senior sister’s goal is to be in the top 30 in the competition!”
It's okay not to say it. After saying it, there was a burst of laughter all around.
Some people with a low point of laughter even laugh forward and backward.
“Sure enough, you must choose your teacher carefully, otherwise you will really mislead your students.
At such a young age, he actually learned to speak wildly and unrealistically.
Are they sure they don't want to laugh us to death and pass the level?"
"Little brother, I'm afraid you don't have any idea about this competition.
Still in the top thirty, do you know what the top 100 players in the competition represent?
Is there any kind-hearted person who can educate him about this so that he will not be kept in the dark by her liar teacher?"
As he said this, all the playful eyes were directed at Yang Haoran.
At the same time, a young man in his twenties stood up, looked around, and smiled.
Then he looked meaningfully at Liu Zijun and Sun Xiaoqi, and sighed.
“Little brothers and sisters, it’s so pitiful that you were deceived at such a young age!
Listen to my brother's advice and leave this liar quickly. He is not worthy of being a teacher at all!
Let me tell you something about what it means to be among the top 100 in this competition!"
As he spoke, the young man straightened his clothes and looked serious.
"This is the Southeast Province Youth Calligraphy and Painting Competition. It is the top competition in the Southeast Province calligraphy and painting circles.
According to incomplete statistics, there are more than three million applicants for the competition, but only about 100,000 people can be shortlisted.
To be shortlisted is just to get a pass, and you have to go through further auditions. One hundred thousand people and a maximum of ten thousand people will enter the preliminary round.
Only by entering the preliminaries can you truly participate in the competition.
The works in the preliminaries will be comprehensively evaluated, and only 1,000 people from the 10,000 can enter the finals.
As long as you can enter the finals, it can be regarded as an entrance into the competition, and your work can be sold.
If placed in the cities below, all of them would be able to enter the Painting and Calligraphy Association!"
