Interstellar arena

Pushing open the door of the ward, Mr. Cheng had already come to his senses. When he saw Liu Fei, Mr. Cheng's eyes, which were haggard and dull, suddenly brightened, and his spirit became hale and hearty.

"Xiao Fei, here we come, sit down."

"En." Liu Fei nodded, and sat on a metal stool that Chenchen brought for him, facing Mr. Cheng.

"Show me your work." Cheng Lao glanced at the paper box in Liu Fei's hand.

"Ah."

Liu Fei opened the packing box and put the wood carving into Cheng Lao's hands.

"Not bad, Xiao Fei is the most talented woodcarving artist I have seen these years. I believe that if you can develop in this area, it is only a matter of time before you surpass Rodin."

Cheng Lao praised, and a pair of withered hands gently stroked the wood carving of "Eagle Spreading Wings". This kind of casualness and solemnity not only shows the dynamic feeling of an eagle wanting to fly, but also shows the domineering arrogance of the king of birds. beyond the bounds of the norm.

Looking at Mr. Cheng's hopeful eyes, Liu Fei didn't answer. If he hadn't seen the battle between embroidery needle-111 and the black fighting mecha, Liu Fei would at least consider whether to use wood carving as a means of making a living. , but now, this possibility is zero.

Now, mecha is Liu Fei's dream, and entering Zall Mecha University is Liu Fei's only goal.

"Hey!" Looking at Liu Fei who was unmoved, Cheng Lao let out a long sigh. He is a man who has experienced a lot of weather, and he has a clear understanding of the world. Naturally, he has seen that Liu Fei is determined and will never be tempted by the outside world. And if you shake your own decision, you don't have to force it.

There was a long silence in the ward.

Liu Fei really wanted to say a few words of comfort, but for a while, he was at a loss for words, and couldn't find suitable words to comfort this important figure in the sculpture industry.

"Xiao Fei, do you know why I haven't paid you a high salary?" Cheng Lao broke the silence and said slowly.

"It's already very high." Liu Fei shook his head. He didn't think that the remuneration he got for his hard work was not proportional. On the contrary, he thought that the salary that Mr. Cheng gave him was far beyond his imagination.

"No, it's not high, but very low. The price of each of your works is enough to pay for all your four-year university fees. In order to prevent you from developing an impetuous and eye-catching mentality, so, I I have always only paid you one-tenth of what you should be paid, and now, Cheng’s Woodcarving is about to close down, and this centuries-old ancestral business will also be defeated by me..."

Cheng Lao had a sad expression on his face, maybe he was a little tired, but he paused at this point, as if he was reminiscing about the past.

"In these years, I also have some savings. Later, Chenchen will pay you the salary you deserve..."

"No need!" Li Fei shook his head, resolutely refusing.

"Listen to me first, Xiao Fei, although you are extremely talented in wood carving, I know that your ambition is not here, and I don't expect you to continue the Cheng family's business, hehe, this is not a career , Cheng's woodcarving has a history of hundreds of years. Although he is well-known, there has never been a master-level figure. This career, don't forget it...cough cough...cough cough..."

"Grandpa, let's rest first." Chenchen hurried to the bedside and patted Cheng Lao on the back lightly.

The old man coughed violently, and his face was blood red from coughing.

"It's okay, it's okay, hehe, if you don't say it now, you won't have a chance to say it later, it's okay, you sit down first."

Cheng Lao waved his hand and signaled Chenchen to sit down, but Chenchen couldn't stand her grandpa, so she had to sit on the edge of the bed.

"Liu Fei, time is running out. Except for Chenchen, there is nothing I can't let go of. Chenchen's parents died since she was a child, and she didn't get the love of her father and mother. She looks soft and weak on the outside, but in fact she has a persistent and strong personality. I I'm really worried..." The old man looked in love
