#174 - Chapter 174 The Xu family was shocked!

Xu Zhongting asked, puzzled, "Xiao Lin, is it bad for others to seek you for treatment? If powerful figures seek you out, it could give you a very strong network of contacts."

Lin Chen: "Uncle Xu, my medical skills aren't good enough; on the other hand, Qian Qian hasn't started kindergarten yet, and I want to spend more time with her before she starts."

"If some big shots look for me at that time, asking me to go here today and run there tomorrow, and I'm running around all the time, the time I spend with Qian Qian will definitely be much less."

His system is a 'Dad System,' and if he can't teach Lin Xiaoqian, his skills won't improve.

Compared to improving connections, becoming stronger himself is more important!

"That's true."

"Some people can't easily travel around, and some people's relatives are even lying in the hospital. It's troublesome for you to run around."

Xu Zhongting said.

Lin Chen: "I didn't spend time with Qian Qian before, so now I definitely have to fulfill my responsibility as a father."

"Yes."

Xu Zhongting nodded, "Then, let's just get your medical license later. If you don't have it, you'll have a reason to refuse even if someone comes to your door."

"Okay."

"I'm not in a hurry for it anyway."

Lin Chen said.

In his opinion, his current medical skills are still low. He needs to get his ancient medical skills to the Grandmaster level and Western medicine to the Legendary level at the very least.

By then, his connections will be much stronger than they are now, and some people who aren't important enough won't be able to order him around.

"Xiao Lin, whenever you want it, just tell me. About a week in advance will do."

Xu Zhongting said.

"Okay, thank you, Uncle Xu."

Lin Chen said.

Old Xu smiled: "You were able to cure me, so our whole family has to thank you properly. My condition isn't good for drinking, so Zhongting will have a drink with you at noon."

Xu Zhongting: "My alcohol tolerance is decent, but compared to Xiao Lin's, my tolerance is only good enough for the kids' table."

"Uncle Xu, we'll just take it easy."

Lin Chen said with a smile.

Old Xu: "Lunch will probably take a while. Xiao Lin, why don't you paint a picture? There's a high-ranking leader who really likes traditional Chinese painting. I'll take your painting to show him."

"He probably won't accept your painting, but as long as he sees it, it will definitely be beneficial to you in the future."

Lin Chen nodded.

Old Xu was trying to find him a big backer.

Soon, Old Xu took out paper and brushes.

The paper he took out this time was better than what he usually used.

After thinking for a moment, Lin Chen began to paint.

He painted an old, thousand-mile horse with a knight on its back who was not young but still looked full of heroism.

"Giddy up, giddy up!"

Old Xu and Xu Zhongting were immersed in the artistic conception of the painting.

They seemed to hear the knight's roar and the horse's neighing. Although they were both old, they were still striving hard and galloping thousands of miles.

[Ode to the Tortoise]

[Though the divine tortoise lives long, it still has its end. The flying serpent rides the mist, but eventually turns to dust.]

[An old steed in the stable still aspires to travel a thousand miles. A hero in his twilight years still has a strong heart—]

Lin Chen picked up his brush and wrote Cao Cao's poem on it.

"Huff!"

After he finished writing the poem, Old Xu and the others came out of the artistic conception of the painting.

"Hmm?"

They were stunned. When did Lin Chen write a poem?

They had been immersed in it for so long?

Soon, they began to appreciate the poem written by Lin Chen.

They were once again immersed in the artistic conception of calligraphy.

"Knock, knock!"

Someone knocked on the door.

Xu Mengyao's voice rang outside the door: "Husband, Aunt Huang asked me to call you. Lunch is about to be served."

"Huff!"

Old Xu and Xu Zhongting woke up.

They looked at each other and saw the shock in each other's eyes.

Lin Chen's talent was truly monstrous.

His painting and calligraphy had both reached such a terrifying level.

"Old Xu, we're going out for lunch."

Lin Chen said with a smile.

Old Xu nodded. He took a deep breath and said, "Xiao Lin, I will try my best to get that high-ranking leader to accept this painting."

Lin Chen said, "Old Xu, I'm not giving the painting away. I'm just lending it to you to take a look. You have to return it to me later."

"Write me an IOU later."

Old Xu was stunned for a moment and then laughed, "That's good. You paint well, so there's no problem for us to borrow it to appreciate and study."

Soon, Lin Chen and the others went outside.

"Grandpa, Grandpa, Qian Qian is so amazing!"

Lan Lan said to Old Xu and Xu Zhongting.

Xu Zhongting asked, "Lan Lan, how is Qian Qian amazing?"

Lan Lan: "She hasn't even started kindergarten yet, but she's so fast at addition and subtraction. I can't even beat her. She can also draw, and her drawings are so pretty."

Xu Zhongting glanced at Lin Chen.

Lin Chen was so good at painting, so Lin Xiaoqian must have inherited it.

"Qian Qian can also speak English. I can too, hee hee."

The two little ones began to converse in English.

Lin Chen watched, secretly clicking his tongue.

It was only because he got the system and became stronger that he could now compare. In the past, he couldn't even compare to a child like Lan Lan.

While ordinary people feel too stressed and tired, the children of the rich and powerful have already run far ahead.

"Xiao Lin, Mengyao, Lan Lan has been learning English for a few years, but Qian Qian is so young, yet her English is so fluent."

Xu Zhongting said in amazement.

Xu Mengyao smiled and said, "Although I taught Qian Qian before, Qian Qian's English was average. Reaching this level now is basically thanks to her father."

Old Xu said in surprise, "Xiao Lin, you also know English?"

"A little."

Old Xu, Xu Zhongting: "..."

They didn't believe Lin Chen's 'a little' anymore.

Xu Zhongting: "If you say 'a little,' then it must be very good."

Xu Zhongting's wife asked, "Xiao Lin, Lan Lan's talent in other areas is average, but her language talent is okay. Do you think she has a talent for English?"

"Maybe we can consider letting her pursue a diplomatic career in the future."

For wealthy and powerful families like Xu Zhongting's, their children's future paths can be clearly planned from a young age.

While ordinary people's children are taking detours, their children are already sprinting along the planned path.

"Doesn't a diplomatic career require knowing several languages?"

Lin Chen asked.

Xu Zhongting's wife nodded: "Yes, but we don't know which other foreign language she has a talent for. For now, we'll let her study English well first."

"Lan Lan, follow me and read. Let's see if you can pronounce it accurately."

Lin Chen looked at Lan Lan and smiled.

He began to speak in English.

The sentences he spoke were quite difficult. Even if you had studied English, it wouldn't be easy to imitate and pronounce them without talent.

Two minutes passed, and Lin Chen smiled, "Aunt Huang, Lan Lan has a talent for English. I'll try her with other languages."

More than ten minutes passed, and Lin Chen tried Russian, French, Japanese, German, Arabic, Portuguese, Spanish, and about ten other foreign languages.

"Aunt Huang, I personally think Lan Lan has more talent for French and Arabic. Her talent for the others isn't as good."

Xu Zhongting asked curiously, "Xiao Lin, how many foreign languages do you know?"

"I haven't counted."

"Twenty or thirty, maybe."

Lin Chen said.

Old Xu and the others were completely numb.

It's not easy for ordinary people to learn one foreign language, but Lin Chen actually knew twenty or thirty. This was too monstrous.

"Xiao Lin, you're amazing."

Xu Zhongting gave a thumbs up.

His wife said happily, "Xiao Lin, thank you."

Knowing where her talent lies is much better than learning blindly.
