Chapter 486: Explosion of the Outer Network

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The outside world was filled with anticipation for “China’s Poetry Meet” and discussed it, but Xia Wanyuan did not care about the netizens’ votes and comments.

Xia Wanyuan had recently read a biography about the only empress in China’s history, and she especially admired her.

A thought of painting a painting for the empress arose in her mind. It just so happened that she had nothing to do for the next few days. Xia Wanyuan was reading and composing at home.

It had been a long time since Yuan Wanxia’s account had been updated. After Xia Wanyuan finished painting, she posted the painting online.

To her surprise, the netizens’ comments were not clamoring but about her participation in the International Youth Painter Exchange.

[ Master, did someone fake your work? ]

[ Master, did you know that your painting was sent to the competition? ]

[ Qing University is amazing. They actually made a mistake with your painting, Master. They sent your painting to attend the youth painter exchange. Master, quickly explain, otherwise, the people abroad will misunderstand. ]

Everyone had always been worried about Yuan Wanxia. Now that they saw Yuan Wanxia post something, they hurriedly cared about his situation. Only after everyone finished commenting did they see the new picture that Yuan Wanxia had posted.

Everyone gasped when they saw it.

Yuan Wanxia’s style had always been cold and carefree. The colors used were mostly dark.

This time, the picture he posted used an extremely bright yellow as the main theme. The color was extremely bold and bright.

The traditional yellow color had always represented honor in China. On the tall steps, the empress was wearing a bright yellow palace gown. She turned around and looked at the world with an arrogant gaze.

Behind the empress were endless mountains and rivers.

Just looking at it made one feel that the entire painting was magnificent.

At this moment, the comments exploded. They finally returned to their original clamoring.

The account “Wanxia _ Yuan” on Fins also updated this picture.

Compared to China, foreign countries were more liberal in terms of culture. There were also many people who liked Yuan Wanxia’s paintings before, but the beauties of China from the ancient and cheongsam departments could not attract the attention of foreign countries.

The domineering aura emitted from the paper had completely covered the cultural difference.

This picture had been reposted more than a million times on Fins, and Yuan Wanxia had completely become famous on the Internet.

People from all countries came because of her name and followed Yuan Wanxia’s account.

Just as his popularity increased and even went onto the trending topic on the Internet…

A foreign marketing account took a screenshot of the activities of the Cherry Blossom painter.

“Not only does China like to make counterfeits, but it turns out that it also likes to make counterfeits when participating in competitions. China is simply a fake country. This Yuan Wanxia is already an old man in his seventies or eighties. He actually used his works to attend the youth painter’s art exchange.”

Originally, because of the Empress Painting, Yuan Wanxia’s popularity was especially high at that moment. This marketing account had many fans. In an instant, the young painter’s exchange, which no one had paid attention to before, became a popular topic.

Everyone went to the official website to look for the works of the contestants. The original picture of Yuan Wanxia’s “King Looks at the World” had been taken away, leaving only a photo. However, Yuan Wanxia’s name was clearly printed on the photo.

Initially, there were only a few dozen comments under the painter from Cherry Blossom Country. In an instant, there were tens of thousands.

[ As expected, the Nation of Counterfeit is the Nation of Counterfeit. Even such a painting and calligraphy competition can be faked. ]

[ Qing University is said to be the top university in China, but they actually did such a thing. China calls itself the heavenly dynasty every day. So it’s self-proclaimed. ]

[ Using such a despicable method when you can’t win the championship is indeed something the Chinese will do. In comparison, Country Han is actually better than them. ]

The resistance to China and the anger towards such fake actions made netizens of various countries stand on the side of Cherry Blossoms and help denounce the international young painter’s competition officials.

The officials were also very confused. The senders of these works were all top universities in various countries. With the guarantee of these universities’ reputation, they had never done much research on the identity of the contestants. They did not expect China to have such a move. This was something they did not expect.

There were more and more discussions about this matter abroad. The news finally reached China. The netizens felt that it was very embarrassing. They surged to the bottom of Qing University’s Weibo and asked the Qing University to quickly give an explanation and not let others have evidence against China.

The usually cold and aloof Qing Da actually responded this time. However, this response poured another ten feet of anger on the netizens.

@ Qing University Official: “The works that we sent in have no problems.. Thank you for everyone’s attention.”

Chapter 487: Yuan Wanxia’s Shield Fell

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

[??? Amazing. ]

[ F*ck, you guys represent the highest academic level in China. Can you not be humiliating? You did something wrong and still have to be so unyielding. Is this the standard of Qing University? ]

[ Why are you all saying that Qing University did something wrong… Yuan Wanxia has never appeared before. Why is everyone so sure that he’s an old man? What if he’s a young man? Perhaps he’s younger than both of us. ]

[ The person in front, let me tell you. This is impossible. I’m from the Arts department of Qing University. Our professor told us that he can’t compare to Yuan Wanxia’s painting skills. Do you know how old my professor is? Our professor is already in his sixties! ]

Hence, under the appearance of the students from Qing University, the only person who had touched the truth was persuaded and joined the team that denounced the Qing University.

After posting this Weibo post, the Qing University did not post anymore. No matter how many comments the netizens sent, the Qing University remained silent.

The Internet was noisy as everyone was paying attention to the matters between Qing University and Yuan Wanxia. When the various marketing accounts began to flood the screen at eight o’clock in the evening, everyone realized that today was the grand finals of “China’s Poetry Meet”.

“Chinese Poetry Meet” had always had high viewership ratings. The grand finals this time occupied 30% of the market as soon as it started broadcasting.

There were a total of six competitors in the finals. They were all winners who had gone through the preliminaries, the group stages, and the semi-finals. Every one of them was erudite and learned.

The other five contestants had performed very well in the preliminaries and semi-finals. At that time, they had also attracted a lot of attention. This time, when the heroes gathered, the audience rubbed their fists and waited to see the Asura Arena that was filled with open and hidden battles.

Considering the previous competitions, the national channel increased the difficulty of the questions in a straight line.

After the beautiful music, the competition officially began with the host’s opening words.

The green bamboo on the stage was hidden, and the petals fluttered. The camera gradually zoomed past every contestant. Everyone was generally more nervous, except for Xia Wanyuan, who had always had a cold expression, making it impossible to tell what she was thinking.

“Alright, now that ‘Chinese Poetry Meet’ has officially begun, it’s the first round. It’s a mixed answering competition. All contestants, please listen to the questions.”

“The sound of firecrackers is one year old. The spring breeze brings warmth into Tu Su.” “Tu Su” here means: Suzhou B house, C Wine D crops. “

Just as the host finished speaking, the six contestants on the scene pressed the lights. Everyone’s answer was C

“Congratulations everyone on answering correctly!”

The judges nodded. As expected of the winners of the semi-finals, everyone’s literary reserves were very deep.

“Please listen to the next question…”

Red lights lit up again, and everyone answered correctly.

Gradually, they had already answered nearly ten questions. Everyone pressed the button instantly. After ten questions, everyone’s score was 100 points. There was no difference.

Before the national television station planned the program, they had already planned out what might happen. Seeing that ordinary questions could not widen the gap, they immediately changed the difficulty of the question bank.

“Which does not exist in the surname of the ‘Hundred Surnames’ A. Wu B. Wú C. Xiao D. Xíao?”

When the question was asked, everyone was stunned. At first glance, they all seemed like they were very common surnames?

While some of the contestants were hesitating, Xia Wanyuan and another person directly revealed their answers.

“Congratulations to Xia Wanyuan and Pang Hui for successfully answering the questions!”

“Next question, the engravings are divided into Yin Wen and Yang Wen Seals. The Beijing Olympic emblem,” China Seal “, is A Yin Wen and B Yang Wen Seal.”

Everyone was silent. The audience on the video platform had already started asking questions.

Isn’t this a poetry meet?? What are these questions??

However, Xia Wanyuan successfully answered him again without any hesitation.

In the following matches, due to the increase in the difficulty of the questions, the Asura Arena that everyone thought they would see did not appear. Instead, only “Congratulations Xia Wanyuan for successfully answering the question! Ten more points!” ran through the entire venue.

Some bored netizens specially squatted and counted. The host said a total of fifty times, “Congratulations to Xia Wanyuan for successfully answering the question!”

Netizen: “Take a rest. I think you’re exhausted.”

Xia Wanyuan’s performance had gone too smoothly. The other five contestants were not ordinary people. Amongst them were university professors and professional scholars.

The questions that even they felt were very difficult were as simple as chopping carrots for Xia Wanyuan. The comments online completely exploded.

[ I knew there was a conspiracy. ]

[ That’s too fake!! I didn’t even have time to finish reading those questions when Xia Wanyuan’s answer came out. ]

[ How much did Star Creation Entertainment spend to promote Xia Wanyuan? Oh my god, can’t they at least hide it? Why are they cheating so openly? Do they treat others as idiots? ]

In the final outcome of the competition, Xia Wanyuan undoubtedly won the championship of the grand finals. There was no suspense.

At that moment, phone calls from the national television station were exploding. Everyone was here to complain that the program was shady.

The staff looked for the Station Leader in a panic. Who would have thought that the Station Leader would smile mysteriously? “Hang the phone at the side. Let them call. They won’t be able to call in now.”

The staff looked at the mysterious station leader with a confused expression. What does this mean??

The continued fermentation of public opinion on the Internet had alerted the department in charge of national television. The higher-ups had specially sent people over to ask, and the answer they received was that public opinion would disappear at night.

Time passed slowly. That night, at eight o’clock, another “Focused Figures” program on national television began to broadcast. The guests for this episode had not been forecast before. Only when the program began did everyone see from the announcement column.

The guest for this episode of “Focused Figures” invited Yuan Wanxia, who had donated nearly twenty million dollars to the Northwest Forestry Engineering Project.

The host first introduced the situation in the northwest desert, then introduced Yuan Wanxia’s work and her contributions in the northwest forest building project.

Some attentive netizens noticed that when the words on the television station pointed at Yuan Wanxia, they were using “her”. They were about to say why the national television station was so imprecise.

Then, the camera turned.

“Let us welcome today’s guest, Yuan Wanxia.”

A stunning face appeared on camera..

Chapter 488: Yuan Wanxia Appears for an Interview

The guest was wearing a simple white shirt, but her beautiful face had already brought color to the entire studio.

The host was stunned for a moment and hurriedly pressed the emergency button. ‘Did the wrong person come?’

However, the producer’s affirmative answer came from the earpiece. “She’s Yuan Wanxia. Continue the program and don’t stop.”

The host used the greatest professional emergency ability in his life to control his facial expression.

“You’re Master Yuan Wanxia?” The host stood up.

“Hello, I am.” Xia Wanyuan nodded and smiled politely, stunning the host.

“To be honest, I didn’t expect the legendary Master Yuan Wanxia to be so young. It’s incredible.” The host pulled out a chair for Xia Wanyuan.

“Art doesn’t care about age.” Xia Wanyuan was calmer.

After exchanging greetings, the program entered a normal interview program.

“I’m very impressed by you. To be able to donate all your painting and calligraphy into the Northwest Forest Creation Project, I would like to ask how you felt about investing this money? You have to know that twenty million dollars is not a small number.”

“Twenty million is fine. It’s bearable. At that time, I wanted to donate money, so I casually chose one,” Xia Wanyuan replied especially honestly.

“…” The host laughed dryly, thinking, Can’t you say something more polite? “No matter what, with the help of kind people like you, the construction of forests in the northwest can be done better.”

Then, the host chatted with Xia Wanyuan about some other questions.

Xia Wanyuan felt that those she could answer, she replied honestly. However, those she did not want to answer, no matter how the host tried to coax her, he could not get a word out of her.

After the program, Xia Wanyuan was as calm as before, while the host felt tired, as if he had just fought a battle.

There were also many politicians on this program. They were also good at Tai Chi [1. Tai Chi is a type of martial art in China and it signifies the art of pushing back and forth, beating around the bush], but the host felt that he had never seen anyone who could Tai Chi to Xia Wanyuan’s level.

Xia Wanyuan could push back all the questions and he could not find any breakthrough points. The host was about to cry.

At the end of the program, according to usual practice, the host made a request to Xia Wanyuan. “Everyone has said that Master Yuan Wanxia’s painting is excellent. I wonder if our program will be lucky enough to receive one of Master’s calligraphy pieces?”

“Sure.” Xia Wanyuan nodded. The host hurriedly got the staff to bring up the brush, ink, paper, and inkstone.

Many painters had come to this program before. When they drew, their posture was extremely serious. The host was about to say that he would retreat to the side to give Xia Wanyuan a good creative space when he saw Xia Wanyuan pick up a brush and hurl it over the paper.

Her actions were too direct and carefree. For a moment, the host wondered if Xia Wanyuan really knew how to draw.

“Alright.” Xia Wanyuan was very fast.

The host leaned forward. “As expected of Master Yuan Wanxia!!” Now, he really believed that this young woman in her twenties was the famous Master Yuan Wanxia domestically and abroad. ”

Xia Wanyuan covered the bottom with a dark yellow color. The paper was covered in bleak yellow sand. In the yellow sand, there was a faint greenness. At first glance, the entire painting gave off a bleak and hopeless feeling. However, on a closer look, it was filled with vitality and hope.

This coincided with the core meaning of the Northwest Forest Creation Project and brought hope to the Northwest Desert.

The audience of this television program was usually middle-aged people. After the program ended, it did not cause much of a commotion. Only half an hour later, the viewership ratings of this program exploded..

Chapter 489: Xia Wanyuan Fell Off Weibo Collapse

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Young people rarely watched television programs anymore, especially interview programs. However, there were always people who could not snatch the remote control from their parents. They had no choice but to watch it with their parents.

Someone was playing games when he heard the television introduce Yuan Wanxia. He habitually looked up and he had even forgotten to play the King’s Advancement Tournament. He watched the entire scene with his parents in a daze.

His parents were not familiar with this person, but as surfers on the Internet, the youngster was too familiar with this trending topic, so he took a picture and posted it on Weibo.

“That’s amazing. Am I seeing things?? Quick, go and see the interview on National Channel 1. The guest for this episode is Yuan Wanxia!!!! You definitely won’t be able to guess who she is!!! Come back and repost my Weibo post after watching it.”

There were still many people who liked Yuan Wanxia on Weibo. Some people were very interested and wanted to see what Yuan Wanxia looked like. After all, she had never shown her face before.

Then, after everyone watched the replay online, they knelt down and reposted the Weibo post that had first posted Yuan Wanxia’s interview.

[ F*ck! F*ck! F*ck! Saying three f*ck words consecutively represents my f*cking mood! ]

[ I’m back. I just want to say if this is true?! ]

[ Those who didn’t see it, go and take a look!! All of you will kneel down and repost this Weibo post! ]

[ What are you guys talking about so mysteriously? Why can’t I understand? What’s wrong with Master Yuan Wanxia? ]

More and more netizens were intrigued by the mysterious comments under this Weibo post. They swarmed to watch the interview replay.

The moment they switched on the video, the entire screen was filled with ‘F*ck’. Even the host’s face could not be seen.

After the host announced the guest’s name, the screen was already filled with “High energy in front!!!!”

The netizens thought, Isn’t he just a master with amazing painting and calligraphy? How high can it be?

Then, a face that everyone was very familiar with appeared on the screen.

A clear voice sounded. “Hello, everyone. I’m Yuan Wanxia, Xia Wanyuan.”

???????

!!!!!!!

After watching the video, the netizens wanted to return to Weibo to see what was going on, but they realized that,

Weibo broke down. It was being squeezed by everyone.

The top trending topic was “Xia Wanyuan, Yuan Wanxia” followed by a huge ‘EXPLOSIVE’.

When the programmer finished dropping the last strand of hair, everyone could finally click on the trending topic interface.

[ Can anyone tell me what’s going on???!!!! Am I hallucinating or is this world fantasy? ]

[ Master Yuan Wanxia is Xia Wanyuan? Oh my god, I wonder if I’m crazy. ]

[ I watched the program seriously… Xia Wanyuan is really Yuan Wanxia (Master)… For a moment, I don’t know if I should call her Master… ]

A video of Yuan Wanxia appearing on Weibo was reposted. Even if they did not believe it, they had to believe it when they saw these real videos. They had always thought that a 60-70-year-old Chinese arts master was actually a celebrity in the entertainment industry.

Furthermore, she was an extremely beautiful celebrity in the entertainment industry in her twenties!?

With such hot news, the marketing accounts searched desperately for everything about Yuan Wanxia.

Hence, before the netizens could recover from their shock, an even bigger piece of news was revealed by the marketing accounts.Chapter 490: What Should I Do? Pamper Her

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

A marketing account used Yuan Wanxia as the keyword and searched through a large number of Weibo posts. Then, they found a Weibo post that the Qing University had posted back then.

“You only notice that Yuan Wanxia is Xia Wanyuan. Have you forgotten that the officials of the Qing University announced Yuan Wanxia as their dual professor of literature and art?”

Everyone was blinded by Yuan Wanxia’s appearance. It was only when they were reminded by the marketing account that they remembered. That’s right! Back then, the Qing University had officially announced Yuan Wanxia’s professor status.

Now that Yuan Wanxia was Xia Wanyuan, that meant that Xia Wanyuan was the professor of Qing University!!!

[ I’m stunned… This world is so fake. Oh my god, what kind of god is this? 22 years old, a dual faculty professor at the Qing University. ]

[ Oh my god, I take back my original words. It turns out that Xia Wanyuan is really so amazing. She can really make Qing University invite her to be a professor. Amazing. ]

[ That’s why everyone denounced “China’s Poetry Meet” so much. It was actually Xia Wanyuan’s original performance. She’s a professor in the literature department at Qing University. It’s normal for her to answer all the questions correctly. ]

[ I just want to ask Nuwa if she has a heart!! When she pinched Xia Wanyuan, she pinched her with her heart. When she pinched me, she probably pinched me with her feet. ]

At this moment, the doubts about “Chinese Poetry Meet” disappeared, but the viewership ratings of “Focused Figures” on national television rose extremely quickly.

A large number of netizens flooded to Xia Wanyuan and Yuan Wanxia’s Weibo. No matter how they looked at it, it did not look like the same person’s style. Everyone uniformly scrolled through Yuan Wanxia’s Weibo and said, “Master, you hid it from us so hard!”

The Internet exploded. After Xia Wanyuan attended the interview, she left the recording hall very calmly.

There was still a familiar car parked outside. Xia Wanyuan sat in it and was pulled into Jun Shiling’s arms.

“Are you tired?” Jun Shiling kissed Xia Wanyuan’s forehead.

“I’m hungry.” Xia Wanyuan’s voice was filled with fatigue. She had just finished recording “China Poetry Meet” when she went to record “Focused Figures”. Now, her stomach was very uncomfortable.

“You didn’t eat?!” Jun Shiling felt that something was wrong when he heard her voice.

“Mm,” Xia Wanyuan replied and leaned lazily in Jun Shiling’s arms.

“Eat some bread first.” Jun Shiling took out a bag of bread.

“I don’t want to eat this.” Xia Wanyuan shook her head. As a very traditional Chinese, she still liked rice more. When one was hungry, eating bread had no taste.

“Eat a little to fill yourself first. Otherwise, you’ll feel uncomfortable.” Jun Shiling opened the bag, broke off a small piece, and brought it to Xia Wanyuan’s mouth.

]Xia Wanyuan tilted her head and buried herself in Jun Shiling’s arms. “No.”

Sensing Xia Wanyuan’s furry hair rubbing against his chest, Jun Shiling’s eyes were filled with a smile. “Fine, don’t eat. Why are you acting so coquettishly?”

Since Xia Wanyuan did not want to eat, Jun Shiling did not force her and threw the bread aside.

At that moment, the car was driving to the middle of the street. Jun Shiling looked out of the car window. There was a restaurant that Xia Wanyuan liked to eat at, so he got the chauffeur to stop the car.

“I’ll buy you something to eat.”

Business in the Hundred Flavour Hall was excellent, and every table was filled with people. The dining hall was bustling with activity.

The restaurant owner leaned on the front desk happily and calculated the day’s bill. It was another day where he had earned a lot. Happy!

Gradually, the boss realized that the surroundings seemed to have quietened down. There was no sound of talking at all.

The boss looked up and did not notice that the bill in his hands had fallen.

Everyone’s gazes were on Jun Shiling, who was slowly walking over.

“This, this, and this one.” Jun Shiling gently ordered the menu.

“Oh, oh, oh!!! Okay!! We’ll prepare it immediately.” The boss was stunned. Isn’t this the head of the Jun Corporation, Jun Shiling?!!

When the news reached the kitchen, the chef prepared the food and handed it to Jun Shiling as quickly as possible.

The entire restaurant was silent from the moment they realized that Jun Shiling had entered. It was only when he disappeared at the door that the sound in the restaurant resumed.

Soon, the trending topic “Jun Shiling’s Hundred Flavour Hall” had climbed to below “Xia Wanyuan Yuan Wanxia”.

Jun Shiling carried the food into the car and sat beside Xia Wanyuan, who leaned on him habitually.

Looking at the fatigue on Xia Wanyuan’s face, Jun Shiling’s heart ached. He opened the box and fed Xia Wanyuan spoon by spoon.

“I’m full.” Jun Shiling usually didn’t let Xia Wanyuan eat greasy food. Just now, at the Hundred Flavour Hall, he had specially instructed them to put less oil and salt, so the food was very light. Xia Wanyuan didn’t want to eat it after a few mouthfuls.

“Why did you eat so little?” Jun Shiling put down his chopsticks and stroked Xia Wanyuan’s hair.

“This is too bland. I want to eat spicy food, spicy boiled fish, saliva chicken.”

“Your stomach isn’t good to begin with.” Jun Shiling frowned and was about to continue when he met Xia Wanyuan’s resentful eyes.

“I don’t care. I want to eat that, okay?” Xia Wanyuan did not realize that she had actually raised her temper back when she was a little princess in her previous life in front of Jun Shiling.

Jun Shiling looked at Xia Wanyuan’s lively eyes and fell silent.

“Can I, Jun Shiling? I haven’t eaten that in a long time.” Xia Wanyuan’s voice was usually extremely cold, but now that it had softened, it had a hint of gentleness.

]Xia Wanyuan leaned on Jun Shiling’s shoulder and subconsciously drew circles on his arm. “You’re too much. You didn’t even let me eat what I wanted to eat.”

Jun Shiling felt Xia Wanyuan’s fingertips moving across his arm, as if they were electric, leaving a ripple on his arm.

“That’s enough.” Jun Shiling suddenly grabbed Xia Wanyuan’s hand. “I’ll call Uncle Wang to prepare now, but only this once this month.”

“Okay, Jun Shiling, you’re the best.” Xia Wanyuan smiled.

“Hmph!” Jun Shiling snorted coldly and wrapped her in his arms helplessly.

He sighed in his heart. What could I do? This person was becoming more and more coquettish.

Other than pampering her, what else could I do?
