Lin Fan heaved a sigh of relief after the journalists left . It was just a game of table tennis, was there really a need for the journalists to come?
Wu You Lan, on the other hand, was elated . "Brother Lin, you are really amazing!"
Lin Fan waved her away with a calm demeanor . "It's alright . My opponent wasn't any good anyway . "
For Wu You Lan, she simply adored Brother Lin too much . She definitely would have watched the program the previous night .
As one of Lin Fan's most loyal fans, she definitely had to watch the program . At the start, she was seething with rage, seeing that the Japanese competitor was just so cocky . After seeing Brother Lin thrash him, her heart was filled with joy .
Fraud Tian looked at Lin Fan suspiciously . The more he looked at him, the less he understood him . This brat was just too strong, it was almost insanity .
At the same time, he admired him for doing what he did on the program . The Japanese competitor was just too arrogant .
Lin Fan opened his Weibo to find that a few netizens asked Lin Fan to play table tennis professionally . This caused him to feel a little helpless, and so he replied .
"My fellow people, please stop teasing me . If I were to play table tennis professionally, I would bag all the gold medals, and the sport wouldn't be fun anymore . Forget it . "
Countless netizens almost vomited blood after seeing Lin Fan's reply .
"Damn, I just realized that we can't ever praise him, otherwise he'll just become too cocky . "
"If it were anyone else other than him who was cocky, they would have been brought down by us . However, this is Master Lin we are talking about, so I concede . "
"Master Lin, well played . Consider my your forever loyal brain dead fan from now on . "
Lin Fan chuckled after seeing all those comments . Thereafter, he closed his Weibo . His table tennis thing was just to add flavor to his life and he wasn't going to take it seriously .
At that moment .
His phone rang .
"Who on earth is calling me?" Lin Fan asked suspiciously . Recently, he had been getting a lot of calls from unknown numbers .
"Hello, who is this?"
"Hello, Master Lin . I am Cui Guo Bin, you know who I am right?" the person who was talking over the phone had a friendly tone, and his voice was lively .
He turned to the member who was next to him, making it clear to him that Master Lin definitely knew who he was .
He asked Master Lin if he knew who he was so he could let his members know that he was someone that was well known .
Lin Fan was stunned after he heard what the person over the phone asked . He absolutely didn't know who the other person over the phone was . It was awkward when other people knew who he was personally but he didn't know who they were .
He wasn't someone that would let other people feel awkward .
"Oh, oh…" Lin Fan stammered . "You're that guy, that… who came…"
Jeering!
Laughter could be heard over the other end of the phone, and the people were going crazy .
Lin Fan sounded a little awkward, "I'm sorry, who are you?"
Cui Guo Bin felt a little hurt . He thought that he was someone that was rather famous, so how did Master Lin not know who he was?
"Master Lin, I am the coach of the table tennis national team, and this is a little awkward . "
"Oh, yeah I remember you . Sorry about that just now, I couldn't recall your name for a moment, Coach Cui," Lin Fan said, sounding a little awkward and apologetic over the line .
On the other side of the phone .
"Haha, how embarrassing Brother Cui . "
"Didn't I already say? Master Lin surely wouldn't know who you are . "
"All to one side," Cui Guo Bin said, thereafter in a friendly tone, talked into the phone .
"Master Lin, I really want to thank you for what happened yesterday . You really redeemed our situation . "
"No problem . We are all Chinese nationals . We shouldn't let a Japanese person step all over our pride, no matter who," Lin Fan chuckled .
"Yes, that is absolutely correct . I also want to thank you on behalf of Xu Song . His performance in the Asia Table Tennis Competition hasn't been good due to his old injury . The stress on him was immense and it hasn't been easy on him after the defeat, but thanks to you, you solved the problem . "
For them, it was indeed a really stressful period .
Table tennis was the national sport and they couldn't afford to lose .
Although it wasn't explicitly stated, all the members knew that a loss was almost unforgivable .
Every time when the competition came, the members of the national squad would be extremely stressed .
It was especially so for the Asia Table Tennis competition . The competition was held in the nation and the stress was even higher .
Lin Fan chuckled, "Coach Cui, this is something that I should do as a Chinese citizen . How is Xu Song's injury?'
"Eh, it's manageable . It's an old injury, so it's probably untreatable," Cui Guo Bin said .
"How about this; if you guys have the time, you should bring Xu Song over to Shanghai . I can assess his injury and maybe cure it," Lin Fan said .
At this moment, Cui Guo Bin's tone became even more excited, "Right, Master Lin . You are the godly doctor as well . It wouldn't be much trouble for you if you personally see him, would it?"
"What trouble? Don't even think about it . My location is on Cloud Street, when you guys arrive, just give me a call," Lin Fan said .
For the people in the national team, Lin Fan was someone that was friendly and humble . He was unlike most athletes who only cared about getting a high salary and looked for model girlfriends .
"Great . Some of my members here are just itching to pit their skills against you too, but I hope that you'll go easy on them . "
"Sure thing, sure thing . Rest assured, I'll go easy on them . "
"HA HA!"
After talking for a while more, both of them hung up .
The national team .
"Master Lin is really friendly!"
"That's for sure . If you paid attention to the news, Master Lin has actually done a lot more good things, and he usually does them voluntarily without getting paid . He likes to poke his nose into things a lot . Remember the case about the foreign workers who didn't get paid? If it weren't for Mater Lin, those foreign workers would have had it bad . "
"I've seen that case before, but I didn't really pay any attention to it . It looks like Master Lin is a good person . "
"Alright, you guys better buck up in your training . When we go to Shanghai, you guys are going to pit your skills against Master Lin and learn from him," Cui Guo Bin said .
"What about you, Brother Cui?"
Cui Guo Bin blinked, "I… I am not sure where I stand against him . "
The crowd all started laughing . They had analyzed Master Lin's playing style .
There was only one verdict .
He wasn't human .
There was no way to play against him .
In a random food street in Shanghai .
A foreigner was carrying his luggage bag as he looked around . He was a Frenchman, and he was a food critic working for Michelin Company . His mission was to look for delicious food in Shanghai .
Shanghai's Michelin Guidebook was in the process of being created, and he was looking around for good food .
He had searched for a long time but nothing in Shanghai had satisfied his taste buds .
For a food establishment to earn Michelin Stars, they had to meet a very strict set of criteria which was almost impossible to meet .
However, despite his futile search thus far, he was still full of hope . With a city like Shanghai, he looked forward to eating everything, from snacks to gourmet food .
The only thing was that everything that he had tried so far had left him disappointed .
None of them could meet his expectations .
In terms of food, none of the places that he had tried could meet his level of expectation .
