Chapter 105 Young Talents



Ao Li continued, "The Lantern Fish Clan and the Tusk Fish Clan have had dealings. Please ask the Tusk Fish Clan leader to come and explain to them."

Ao Xuan: "Yes!"

Yes, compared to the low IQ of the lantern fish tribe, the pigfish tribe is much smarter and is almost the first group to migrate. Their persuasion should be of some use.

After all, the lantern fish only live far away from the polluted area, not deep. As long as the polluted area spreads, the lantern fish's habitat will soon be destroyed. If they can't find the direction of migration and swim around in the polluted area, the pollution will spread so fiercely that there is a risk of extinction.

If there is any accident, the sea people will say it is because of the inaction of the Jiao people, and will never say that it is because of the lantern fish people's own mistakes.

Ao Xuan also reported some matters concerning the sea tribe and some matters within the Ao Group.

"Let Yu Chijia find time to hold a shareholders' meeting." Ao Li said, suddenly put down his laptop, stood up and went to the refrigerator.

He took a lunch box out of the refrigerator, closed the door, and turned to the oven.

Shui Yiyao was taking things out of her bag while listening to Ao Li's phone call.

She didn't quite understand what happened with the group later, but she heard Ao Xuan mention several names. She didn't know who was who, but just by hearing so many names, she knew it was a complicated matter.

But Ao Li didn't seem to find it complicated. His expression remained normal and he came up with a solution after a little thought.

After a while, Ao Xuan finished talking and hung up the phone.

Ao Li stood in front of the oven and turned to look at Shui Yiyao.

Shui Yiyao was leaning on the table writing and drawing. There was a picture album and a notebook on her table.

The notebook was the one he bought her last time.

Shui Yiyao looked up at him: "Is it over?"

"Yes." Ao Li looked at her sketchbook: "Are you working on a design?"

Shui Yiyao twirled the pen between her fingers and nodded, "Tara has handed in the order, so I have to work on the next one."

There's still a long queue of orders waiting for me. Once I've finished the Tara, I have to start working on other things. I haven't had any materials for the past couple of days, so I can only work on the following designs.

"Are you going out?"

She saw Ao Li adjust his collar.

He nodded. "I'll be out for a bit. The food will be ready soon. There's some already prepared in the fridge. You can heat it up anytime."

Shui Yiyao fell asleep last night and I don’t know when she will wake up, so I prepared some food and put it in the refrigerator so that she can eat it at any time.

Shui Yiyao gestured: "Okay. Thanks."

She moved her nose, and a fresh fragrance filled the air: "I smell the smell of crab porridge."

Ao Li returned to the oven and looked at the countdown: "Wait a little longer, it will be ready soon."

Shui Yiyao: "You go ahead and do your work, I can do it myself."

Ao Li took out the gloves and put them on. He waited for a while. After a while, the oven made a ding-dong sound. Ao Li opened it and took out the food box.

Shui Yiyao laughed as she watched Ao Li holding the food box with big gloves on.

It turns out that dragons are also afraid of being burned.

"Try it." Ao Li put the food box on the table, stood up, took off his gloves, and put them next to the oven.

Shui Yiyao opened the lid of the box, and hot steam came out. Inside, you could see the bright red crab shell, with fresh crab paste and crab roe, and chopped green onions on top.

It looks very appetizing.

Shui Yiyao went to the cupboard next to her and got a spoon and chopsticks. She swam back and looked at the crab porridge on the table. She twitched her nose again and said, "I'm hungry all of a sudden."

Ao Li: "You didn't eat yesterday, but I injected you with an energy shot. Don't eat too quickly, you're not hungry."

Shui Yiyao paused with her chopsticks reaching into the bowl and looked up at him: "...you should leave quickly." He cared whether she was hungry or not.

Ao Li nodded: "I will call you when I get back."

Ao Li left.

After Shui Yiyao watched him leave, she stretched involuntarily: "Comfortable."

I haven't had a good night's sleep in a long time.

Fortunately, the White Tara statue was finally finished, otherwise we really couldn't afford to waste this time.

After stretching thoroughly, Shui Yiyao picked up her chopsticks and started eating.

Actually, I didn't feel hungry all day. But the porridge was really delicious.

·

After finishing her meal, Shui Yiyao tidied up and started drawing the design.

She has been taking orders for a year and a half, about ten of which were completed. She submitted a first draft when she accepted the orders, and these all needed to be refined.

I finished the design draft for the next order, which is about Guan Yu. It took me an entire afternoon to finish it.

I was just about to take a picture of it with my mobile phone and send it to the owner. After confirmation, I had to go back and make an electronic version on the computer.

As soon as she picked up her phone, she saw the WeChat message 99+.

She joined several groups of jade carvers. Some of the large groups were very active, with 99+ participants every day, but later she set them all to not remind her.

Why are there so many news suddenly?

She first sent the picture to the owner of the order, and then opened WeChat to take a look.

It wasn't a group message. Almost everyone in her contact list sent her a message, neatly arranged.

-Nanyi: Congratulations, big boss!

-Zhao Mingjue: Congratulations on winning the gold medal.

-Lu Guoliang: Teacher Shui, your White Tara statue is worthy of participating in the Tiangong.

-Lu Jiayu: [Picture]

Gold Award.

Are the results of the Qinghuo Competition out?

Shui Yiyao clicked on Lu Jiayu's message and took a look.

-Lu Jiayu: The results are out, gold medal, congratulations.

-Lu Jiayu: The moment we read all the entry materials, we knew that there would be no other gold award except your White Tara, but due to the confidentiality system, I cannot tell you in advance.

-Lu Jiayu: Your level is more than enough to sit on the judges' panel.

-Lu Jiayu: Why didn't you participate in the competition before? What a pity.

-Lu Jiayu: My grandfather said that if you had joined Tiangong earlier, I would not have a place on the judging panel now.

-Lu Jiayu: When will you get the certificate and trophy?

- Lu Jiayu: [Picture]

It was a photo of a gold medal certificate and a glass trophy with the winner written on it: Chengdao Jade Carving.

Shui Yiyao responded to those who congratulated her one by one.

I thanked Lu Jiayu, chatted with her for a while, and confirmed the time to go back and get the certificate.

Bai Gege also joined in the fun and sent her blessings.

Bai Gege: Yaoyao! I saw the news! You won the gold medal in the Green Fire Competition! You're the youngest Green Fire Gold Medal winner!

-Bai Gege: Congratulations!

-Bai Gege: Hey, I posted on Weibo [Weibo link - Bai Gege's Weibo]

Shui Yiyao clicked on it.

Bai Gege: The youngest gold medal winner in the history of the Qinghuo Competition! A woman! @Shuiyiyao, I declare that from today on, you are my idol! The list of winners is out, and the gold medal winner is only 23 years old! This Weibo post was only posted two minutes ago, and it's already in the four-digit comments.

-Congratulations!

-Happy! This is our Yuyu's prize!

-Gold Award.

-It seems that Gege and Yuyu have a really good relationship, as they sent their blessings so quickly.

-Surprisingly, he is the youngest winner. Looks pretty impressive.

-That’s amazing. Although he has retired, he is much more pleasing to the eye than when he was still in the circle.

-My retirement wasn't just hype; I really did go into jade carving... and even won an award! I even set a record for being the youngest person to win a gold medal. Amazing!

Shui Yiyao read a few posts, then exited Weibo and returned to WeChat to post messages.

-Shui Yiyao: Thank you.

-Bai Gege: I won the gold medal, aren’t you very happy?

Happy? Not really. After all, she had been a judge at the Tiangong Competition and had won the Tiangong Award several times.

Winning the Qinghuo Award wasn't exactly a piece of cake, but I wasn't exactly thrilled either. However, winning the award was still much more satisfying than not winning the gold medal.

-Shui Yiyao: Happy, happy.

-Bai Gege: Help you celebrate? I'll treat you to dinner tonight. I happen to have time!

When Shui Yiyao saw it, she smiled and sent a voice message.

"I'm busy tonight, let's do it next time. Thank you very much, I'll treat you next time."

Bai Gege also sent a voice message: "Okay then. By the way, Yaoyao, I heard that 'Young Talents' invited you to be on the show. Have you received the news?"

Young talent?

Bai Gege sent another message: "They might contact your previous agent. You can think about it first, they've already made the decision. This is a CTS program that focuses on positive energy role models. The previous guests invited were young painters and pianists, just like you."

"A lot of people in the industry want to be on this show, but they don't have the chance. The threshold for this show is to win an award, and the threshold is at least second prize. They don't care about anything else, just the award."

It sounds quite valuable.

"But does my Green Fire Competition count? It's just a small event."

"That's because you think it's small. This is a national competition, okay? It's quite prestigious. It's not a local competition, it's a national competition!"

Bai Gege: "And the pay is not low. If you're on the next episode, Ao Yun will also be participating. He recently won the Best Actor trophy and was invited. I heard the news from him that the production team planned to invite you. Since it's the same episode, the production team told him about the plan."

"Okay, I understand. I'll think about it carefully." Shui Yiyao sent a voice message: "Thank you for telling me. I'll have to think about it carefully."

Young talent, contact her former agent, Sister Yu?

Sister Yu hasn't contacted her yet, probably because she hasn't received the message yet.

She didn't want to get involved in the entertainment industry, but this program sounded okay; it was just a simple interview program with money to pay.

She is short of money now.

Thirty million must be paid in ten days.

However, she also has that much in savings, but after paying it, there won't be much difference in her savings. There are still so many installments to pay later.

White Tara completely delivered on the order and even won the gold medal. The owner had promised her a seven-figure reward after winning the gold medal. During this time, she also contacted a "Golden Taoist Priest" on the dark web to sell mermaid tears. As usual, she sold one a month, and after selling several, she saved the money.

This experiment is still ongoing, and there are many places where money will be needed, so save it first.

Shui Yiyao continued to draw the design.

When I was having dinner in the afternoon, I received a call from Sister Yu.

"Sister Yu?"

"Yiyao. It's me. Congratulations! I heard you won the gold medal in the Qinghuo Competition! Xiaobei also knows about it and said he'd buy you some crayfish to celebrate."

"Thank you, Sister Yu. No need for the delicious food, I'm not at home. Just let her focus on filming."

"Is that so? Okay, I understand. Oh, and there's one more thing."

"you say."

"I received an invitation from 'Young Talent' today to appear on their show. They're quite familiar with me, so they asked me to be the initiator. I'm wondering if you have time and would like to participate? By the way, the pay is 800,000."

"What time is it?"

"Probably next week. This show is a weekly broadcast. Actually, I think it's okay. This is just an interview show. It's not too troublesome, and it doesn't count as hype."

Knowing that Shui Yiyao doesn't like the troubles of the entertainment industry, Sister Yu specifically emphasized the nature of the program.

Shui Yiyao: "I can."

"That's good." Sister Yu suddenly laughed. "I was afraid you wouldn't agree, so I didn't even dare to accept the referral fee."

Shui Yiyao also laughed: "Are you making a profit from the price difference as a middleman?"

Sister Yu smiled again: "Don't worry, I won't make any profit from the price difference."

Shui Yiyao: "If they want to give it to you, just take it. You deserve it."

Sister Yu: "Haven't I earned enough from Xiaobei? I'm still short of your introduction fee. If you're sure you want to go, I'll reply to them."

"Okay, go. Thank you, Sister Yu."

"It's okay, we're still talking to each other, it's polite."
