"Ding......ding." Just when Lin Fan was about to pack the sports car outside and sell it as scrap iron, the mobile phone rang.

After looking at the caller ID, I don't know who it is?

"Hey......."

"Hello master, I'm Xiong Baitai, do you remember me?" As soon as I answered the phone, a respectful greeting came.

"Xiong Baitai? Who is it? Lin Fan thought about it for a while, but he really didn't remember.

"Master, I live in the same ward as you in the hospital, the president of the Engraving Association, Xiong Baitai." On the phone, Xiong Baitai's voice was a little sad, but he didn't expect the master to really forget about himself.

And Lin Fan was stunned for a moment, and his mind wandered around, "Oh, it's you, remember to remember, I've been too busy recently, but I'm busy and confused, what's wrong?" “

Xiong Baitai on the other end of the phone, his heart at the moment was like being pricked by a thousand needles, and he couldn't speak in pain.

Master, he really forgot, really forgot our agreement. "Master, I have been discharged from the hospital, so I want to take you to the Engraving Association and hand over the position of president to you in front of everyone." Xiong Baitai said. "The president of the association?" Lin Fan was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly remembered, "Oh, that's okay, where are you now?" Let's go, I don't have anything to do. “

Xiong Baitai was hurt again at this moment, and the master had obviously forgotten about it, and as soon as he was discharged from the hospital, he called, which made Xiong Baitai's heart cold. "Alright, Master, then I'll be waiting for you at the association." Xiong Baitai said. "Okay......."

After hanging up the phone, Lin Fan also said to Lin Dali and others. And left.

Intersection of Daming Road.

This is the headquarters of the Zhongzhou Engraving Association.

Every province has an engraving association, but all of them are led by the engraving association in Zhongzhou.

However, now that the industry is declining, it is not as good as before.

Enter the Engraving Society. There are two kinds of people, one is to make money in the name of the Engraving Association, and the other is to really take carving as a lifelong career.

Although the Zhongzhou Engraving Association is the leader, the engraving associations of other provinces have not looked at it in their eyes, and they are all independent and in charge of one party.

Lin Fan parked the electric car aside. Looking at this engraving association, it is a little shabby, and there is a feeling of lifelessness. At the doorman, an old man with reading glasses sat outside, basking in the sun and reading the newspaper, while a small earth dog next to him lay on the ground. Rest with your eyes closed.

Smell Lin Fan's scent. The little earth dog also barked.

The old man patted the little dog on the head to silence him, then closed the newspaper. "Who are you looking for?" The old man asked.

"I'm looking for Xiong Baitai." Lin Fan said.

"President Xiong?" The old man was slightly stunned, and then looked at him in surprise, "Are you a new member?" ”

"Member?" Lin Fan smiled and nodded, "Yes." ”

"Alright, let's go in." The old man nodded, and also looked at Lin Fan a few more times. It's as if I want to keep it in my head.

"Now very few young people come, alas. It's really declining. The old man looked at Lin Fan's back as he entered, and also shook his head and said.

Lin Fan walked on the road and looked at the surrounding environment, which was different from what he thought.

The flowers and plants in the surrounding flower ponds have withered, the floor tiles on the ground are also cracked, and green grass grows in the cracks, which looks a little deserted.

Not far away is a playground, and the basketball hoop on the playground is also unrepaired and rusty.

Looking at the building in front of me, the four-storey figure-seven building has a dilapidated wall due to the erosion of wind and rain.

What is this special Zhongzhou Engraving Association?

What is this the existence of the leader of the association?

Seeing the scene in front of him at this moment, Lin Fan didn't want to say a word.

Disappointment, really disappointment.

In Lin Fan's view, the Engraving Association should be antique and full of culture, but the scene in front of him at this moment is also a deep lesson for Lin Fan

Soon, Lin Fan saw Xiong Baitai.

Xiong Baitai was standing at the door, and he also saw Lin Fan's figure.

"Master, master......." As soon as Xiong Baitai saw Lin Fan's figure, he also smiled, and hurriedly trotted forward.

Xiong Baitai had just arrived in front of Lin Fan, and he was also excitedly holding Lin Fan's hand, "Master, thank you for your hard work, come, please come inside." ”

"Huh." Lin Fan smiled, and then walked in.

"It's going to be good."

People passing by also greeted Xiong Baitai respectfully when they saw it.

And Lin Fan also noticed carefully that there was not much vitality on the faces of each of these members, but they were lifeless, and they looked like this for the rest of their lives.

And along the way, Lin Fan met more than a dozen people, but there was no young man, and the youngest looked like they were all in their forties, which made Lin Fan very surprised. "Come, Master, seat." Xiong Baitai led Lin Fan into the office, and then personally made tea for Lin Fan. "Master......." Xiong Baitai handed over the tea with a smile on his face.

Lin Fan nodded and took it, "This is the Engraving Association?" “

Lin Fan asked, after all, this was too different from the picture in his mind.

Xiong Baitai was slightly stunned, and then nodded a little embarrassedly, "Master, the bad environment is a little shabby, but the people in our association are all good hands." “

Lin Fan glanced at Xiong Baitai, this Nima is not only shabby, it is simply shabby.

"Didn't you say you had a carving that was placed in the Palace Museum? In any case, for a master like you, this country should at least arrange a better place for you. Lin Fan asked.

"Master, this ...... This one. Xiong Baitai was a little difficult to speak.

"You're not going to lie to me, are you?" Lin Fan asked.

When Xiong Baitai heard this, he immediately waved his hand, "No, no, master, how can I deceive people, it's just that this engraving association is not taking public food, although my work is in the museum, but there is no remuneration." ”

"I didn't say it, you are the headquarters of the national association, but this is too broken, if I didn't believe you, I would have thought I came to an association in a small county." Lin Fan said.

Xiong Baitai smiled awkwardly.

……

At this time, there was a knock on the door, and then a middle-aged man walked in, Lin Fan was slightly surprised, this middle-aged man, the clothes he was wearing even had patches, this Nima was too fake.

"President, the members are already waiting in the conference room." The middle-aged man said.

"Hmm." Xiong Baitai nodded, then reacted and said, "Master, let me introduce to you, this Master Yu Zhengqing Yu, his miniature carving is a must, and it is our doorpost." "Hello Master Yu." Lin Fan smiled. "Hello." Yu Zhengqing was slightly stunned, the president called this young man a master? This made Yu Zhengqing not react for a while. "Master, let's go to the conference room, and I'll announce this matter as well." Xiong Baitai said.

At this moment, Lin Fan hesitated, originally thought it was a beautiful errand, but Nima is now completely a cheat, if he takes over by himself, he will take over a mess.

Even if you're bored and want to play, you can't make trouble for yourself.

Just when Lin Fan was hesitating, the task of the system was raised.

"Ding: Trigger the quest, the rise and prosperity of the Engraving Guild."

"Mission Reward: Shenhao Points +5000."

"Mission Failed: None."

Lin Fan looked at this task, and shook his head helplessly, it was really a pitfall, but after counting 5,000 Shenhao points, it would be difficult to accept it. "Alright, let's go." Lin Fan stood up and nodded.

For this engraving association, Lin Fan only has three words to describe: very broken.

The walls and white walls of this walkway are beginning to crack, the wooden baseboards are rotten, and the ceiling is even uglier to the limit.

I'll it.

Nima, I said how could this Xiong Baitai be willing to take out the title of president of the association as a bet, it turned out that it had already been broken like this, and he came to find someone to collect the stall. (To be continued.) )
