The problem is that Lin Rui is the most important piece of the puzzle in the plan to seize the sea. If Lin Rui is restricted, the progress of the plan may be greatly hindered, and all the arrangements made by Li Donglai and others may collapse.

Therefore, Chen Bin dared not gamble on whether Luo Guo would give Lin Rui more time to grow, and neither did Li Donglai and the others!

It's not a complete ban, but restricting the international development of an artist with limited influence is really nothing to Luo Guo!

Lin Rui remained silent.

It is quite difficult to quickly make a name for oneself through the World Arts Games, because even winning a gold medal in a certain event may not necessarily cause a big stir, but at least it can give you some breathing room.

After all, even if the Luo Kingdom were incredibly audacious, they wouldn't dare to take drastic action against a World Arts Games gold medalist before the dust had settled from their victory.

The problem is, Lin Rui is not a contestant!

Therefore, hoping to gain more time through medals is clearly unlikely.

Perhaps guessing Lin Rui's thoughts, Chen Bin said thoughtfully, "Mr. Lin, there is actually another award at each World Arts Festival."

"This award can be obtained without being a participant, and its prestige surpasses that of any other award."

Lin Rui pondered for a moment, then looked at Chen Bin: "Most Outstanding Contribution Award?"

"right."

Chen Bin nodded: "The evaluation criteria for this award are very special. It is not determined by judges, but by a global vote."

"This award is extremely difficult to win, and those who have won it in the past are all people who are very important in the world."

Is this what you call extremely difficult?

This is hellish difficulty!

Even if Lin Rui had the reserves of a parallel world, he might not be confident that he could compete with those top international public figures in such a short time.

This is not a matter of strength or lack thereof, but rather a matter of the accumulation of public support.

To put it bluntly, if given another year, Lin Rui would be absolutely confident that he could compete for this option, or even win it!

“In the past, Mr. Lin might not have been able to win this award.”

"But things are different now. This World Arts Festival is being held in China, which has the largest population in the world."

"This is an award that relies on popularity."

"And in this election, everyone in China is eligible to vote."

Chen Bin said seriously, "Of course, this only means that Mr. Lin has the qualifications to compete with those top figures overseas, but it is not enough to determine whether he will have the last laugh. Therefore, Mr. Lin still needs to do one more thing to add more weight to his position."

"What is it?" Lin Rui immediately became interested.

"work."

Chen Bin hesitated for a moment before asking, "Mr. Lin previously submitted hundreds of entries. What do you think of the quality of these works?"

"They're all pretty good."

"Do they have the strength to win the championship?"

This question stumped Lin Rui.

After thinking for a moment, Lin Rui continued, "A small number of works have the quality to compete for the championship."

"Mr. Lin, can I understand that even though you have submitted hundreds of works, in your opinion, these works do not actually belong to the top tier?"

Seeing Lin Rui nod, Chen Bin continued, "Then may I assume that you have even higher quality works in your possession?"

"yes."

After a moment of silence, Lin Rui nodded again.

“Mr. Lin, I have an idea. If the events in which Chinese athletes win championships are mostly your creations, then they are likely to be the result of your work.”

"Then I'm 90% sure I'll win the Best Contribution Award at this World Arts Festival."
