Chapter 6 Can I exchange my medal for your fox doll?
As soon as he started dancing, Quan Zhilong changed his state. The leopard print hat and small suit made the judges' eyes light up. A child who dressed so formally to participate in the competition must be very good.
Sure enough, although he is not the oldest among the children, his movements are smooth and his core is stable. He can even get the hang of music that most children think is nothing.
One of the judges nodded and said, "This is really good. The movements follow the rhythm of the music and there is a contrast between strong and weak."
Another judge was writing something on the score sheet and nodded in agreement, "His limbs are long and thin but very strong. He must have learned a little bit."
However, compared with all these, what is more important is the innate swag sense of this boy at such a young age, which is what makes him far superior to other children.
"This kid is very suitable to be an artist." A judge suddenly exclaimed, "He has such a good stage presence at such a young age, it's rare."
This was also the reason why Li Xiuman, who happened to pass by, suddenly stopped.
He had been a singer until he was in his thirties. A few years ago, he finally made up his mind to establish the S/M project. Over the years, he made some money by producing records. However, when he looked at those companies that were seriously training artists, an idea suddenly popped into his mind.
Why can't I also start an entertainment company? The income share of artists is not comparable to that of record production.
From that moment on, his ambition began to surge like waves, and he was confident that his decision would bring a tsunami-like shock to the Korean entertainment industry. The only prerequisite is that he must have enough excellent "artist puzzles" that can be arranged and combined at will.
Li Xiuman approached the judges silently and listened to their discussion.
When one of the judges suddenly smiled and said, "That little girl dancing ballet just now was also very stylish. She must be the sister of the kid on the stage, right?", he turned his head in the direction the judges were looking and his eyes instantly lit up.
There is a saying in China that goes "You can tell a child's future from the age of three." Although the original meaning is that a child's personality is already clear at this age, in the eyes of a discerning insider like him, this saying is more applicable to appearance.
This child has such good bone structure and a delicate appearance that he looks like a little doll. It’s just that at this age… He sighed. He wanted to select a trainee, not apply for a nanny.
But then he thought, if this child can come to his company in a few years, this brother and sister will definitely bring him surprises, right? The company hasn't even been registered yet, but Li Xiu's mind is already filled with imaginations about the wonderful life he will have many years from now.
Finally, Li Xiuman couldn't help but lean over and ask one of the judges, "Are these two children brother and sister? Did that child dance too?"
I didn’t know that the two little kids on the other side of the judges’ panel who were discussing themselves were very excited.
As soon as Quan Zhilong stepped off the stage, he threw himself into Han Lanji's arms, rubbed her coquettishly twice, and boasted in a low voice: "Mom, am I dancing well?"
The feeling of dancing on the stage just now was a little different from that on the show. All the eyes of the audience were on him, making him feel a little light-hearted. Well, just like my dad said, I was drunk, my mind was fuzzy and I just knew that I was awesome!
"Am I great?" His ears were red, but his tone gradually became confident.
Before Han Lanji could answer, Yien beat her to the punch, "Zhilong is awesome! We have two dolls now!"
Quan Zhilong laughed instantly, and with his face buried in Han Lanji's arms, he turned his head to look at Yien, raised his hand and pinched her little face, "Yeen, are you happy because of the Zhilong stick or the doll?"
“Eh?” Ye-eun’s little head was confused for a second, then she answered honestly, “Because Fox is happy!”
The smile on Quan Zhilong's face froze for a second, lost to the camera and then lost to the fox doll.
Don’t blame Yeen, she is still young and at the age where she loves to play. It’s all my fault for asking these questions!
The sound of the two people's whispered discussion was soon drowned out by the host's voice who returned to the stage to announce the results.
“Every kid is great, but a competition is a competition, and only the top three kids can get prizes!”
He glanced around the audience and without keeping anyone in suspense, he started announcing the names directly.
Yien clenched her fists tightly, resting her small fists on her chin. Her big eyes were full of anticipation, and she muttered, "Yeen, Yien, Yien..."
Kwon Ji-yong was more reserved, but he couldn't help but clench his hands, which were originally placed casually at his side, and his eyes turned from Ye-eun to the stage.
"Children whose names are called, please come to the stage. The third place is Jin Mina!"
Quan Zhilong's eyes dimmed a little. Ye-eun, however, was completely unaffected and continued to chant her own name.
"Second place, Li..."
Ye-eun held her breath and silently said to herself, "Ye-eun, Ye-eun!"
His body unconsciously leaned a little towards the side of the stage, as if he was about to rush onto the stage as soon as the words "Ye-en" came out.
Li Zhen thought, I should buy her a small doll after the performance, after all, she was brave enough to dance on the stage.
Although the house is already filled with my daughter’s dolls, what else can I do? I can only spoil her!
Li Zhen, who just turned 30, refuses to admit that she also likes these "useless" things.
"The second place goes to Li Xiuzhu!" A little boy walked onto the stage with a depressed look on his face, showing no sign of happiness at all about winning the award.
Ye-eun's tears were hanging in her eyes, and she turned to look at Quan Zhilong, "What should I do? There is only the first place left, and it will definitely go to Ye-eun. What should Zhilong do?"
After hearing this, not only Han Lanji and Li Zhen, but even Quan Zhilong and Quan Duomei were stunned.
Where does this self-confidence that is as dazzling as the sun come from?
However, the next moment when the first place was announced, the confident little "sun" instantly dimmed.
"First place, little Kwon Ji-yong!" The host's voice reached everyone's ears at the same time.
Han Lanji covered her mouth in surprise, her eyes full of pride. Li Zhen also smiled with relief, and Quan Damei jumped up excitedly, "Great! My brother is first!!!"
Quan Zhilong smiled shyly.
Everyone was immersed in joy, but Yien's world collapsed. The expression on her face was one of disbelief and a little bit of breakdown. Yien... Yien didn't "win"! How is that possible!
Ye-eun's tears for Quan Zhilong suddenly turned into tears for herself. She sobbed and stared at Quan Zhilong's face as he kept looking back, crying heartbreakingly, "Ye-eun also danced, why isn't the fox Ye-eun's?"
As soon as her daughter started crying, everyone looked over. Li Zhen immediately squatted down, hugged her and gently coaxed her, "Can mommy buy one for Yien?"
Even though she felt sorry for her daughter, she still held her mask tightly, thanking the person who reminded her before. He was indeed experienced, wasn't he?
Kwon Da-mi raised her hand and held Ye-eun's little hand. She couldn't help but pinch the soft flesh under her hand. The little girl who had just excitedly shouted that her brother was first now comforted her: "Ye-eun is great. In Ouni's heart, Ye-eun is first! Zhilong is second!"
Although Kwon Ji-yong, who won first place, felt sad for Ye-eun, he was filled with indescribable joy when he stood on the stage with the other two children and looked at the small firecrackers.
First place! I am the first one!
Quan Zhilong is the youngest and shortest among the three, and he stands between the two of them. But when he looked up and saw the fireworks flying from the cannons seemed to cross the sky and land in front of him, he felt that he was taller than all the children.
The sound of two salutes covered all other sounds, and his joy diluted his previous worry about Yi Eun.
After Quan Zhilong took the medal handed over by the host with a smile, he immediately turned around happily and wanted to run off the stage. He jogged a few steps before he remembered that he hadn't looked at the medal carefully yet. Quan Zhilong held the medal and saw that in the middle of the round medal was the iconic fox statue of this amusement park.
His steps paused and he stopped.
Quan Zhilong turned his head to look at the audience below. The colored paper had already fallen to the ground, and he could see everything clearly. Under the sky was Ye-eun, who was crying in front of him for the first time in two months.
The medals in his mind were gradually replaced by two puppy dolls, and the crying Ye-eun in front of him seemed to have turned into himself crying twice.
He pursed his lips and held the medal tightly in his hand. The little fox image on it felt slightly warm and itchy when pressed against his palm.
The next moment, he decisively turned around and ran back to the stage, "Hey! The kid in second place, can you stop for a moment?"
He spoke so fast, as if he was afraid that he would regret it the next second.
"Can I trade my medal for your fox doll?"
Yien lay on Li Zhen's shoulder, her vision blurred by her tears. When she saw a fox suddenly appear in front of her, she thought she was seeing things.
She tried to open her eyes wide, and as she saw the scene in front of her clearly, she heard Quan Zhilong's childish voice, "Ye Eun, what do you think this is?"
"Fox!" Yien quickly released her hands from hugging the doll and pounced on the doll.
Lying on the doll that was bigger than herself, Ye-en was so happy that she felt like she was sitting on a cloud car and could fly into the sky.
Kwon Ji-yong was originally hugging a fox doll that was not much shorter than him, but when Yi-eun pounced on him, he almost fell down. Fortunately, Han Lan-ji supported him from behind and prevented him from falling.
His chubby little face was full of smiles, "Well, I'll give it to Ye-en. Ye-en, don't cry."
Yi-eun looked up in surprise, her face still wet with traces of tears, "Really? Zhilong is going to give it to me?"
“Yes.” Quan Zhilong’s little face with a bracketed smile was full of innocence, and he did not mention that this was exchanged for his medal, “Because Ye Eun also gave me two dogs.”
Ye-eun hugged the fox doll in front, while Kwon Ji-yong supported himself with his arms outstretched behind the doll. The two of them seemed to be hugging and smiling at each other through the doll. Han Lanji and Li Zhen looked at each other and laughed. She couldn't help but take out her camera and take a picture of these innocent children.
Just as the beautiful picture in the camera was frozen, a man's voice came from the side, "Hello, are you the parents of these two children?"
