The director of Noble Kindergarten was getting desperate.
She had struggled earlier when she wanted to give Shen Wei 10 million yuan. At present, having Shen Wei come out to divert attention was the best solution.
However, she hadn't expected that Shen Wei, being from a wealthy family, didn't need the money.
10 million was a tempting figure for many people, but Shen Wei had flatly refused it.
At this moment, the director of Noble Kindergarten truly envied Shen Wei a bit.
Only children from rich families could cultivate such confidence.
The two parted ways unhappily.
Shen Wei went back and told Lin Rui about the incident.
Lin Rui immediately said, "If you need money, I can invest in you. Don't ever use her money. That woman clearly has ill intentions!"
Coming from a business background herself, she quickly did the math: "Noble Kindergarten just wants to use 10 million to divert everyone's attention. Right now, they'd have to spend at least 20 to 30 million on advertising, and besides, this whole situation is their own fault."
Then Lin Rui told Shen Wei, "When it comes to money, you can completely rely on me!"
She was a true heiress from a wealthy family. The luxury cars, designer watches, diamonds, jewelry, and various handbags at her home were countless.
Moreover, if the kindergarten needed investment, given Shen Wei's current influence, money wouldn't be an issue at all.
The other party might use this money for who knows what kind of publicity stunt.
Shen Wei said, "Don't worry, I didn't accept the money."
Lin Rui replied, "Good. Oh, and there's another very important matter. I might need your help with it."
"I had previously promised Qi Zhong to organize an art exhibition for Mu Zhixing in the United States. It's all arranged now, at a museum. Why don't you take the child to participate?"
Shen Wei was surprised, "It's been arranged so quickly?"
Lin Rui smiled, "With money, what can't be done?"
She had expedited this matter, and media coverage and various promotions were already in place. Even large billboard advertisements had been purchased.
Qi Zhong had helped her successfully irritate Boss Lu and Shen Qingqing, and she was feeling quite pleased. Spending some money was nothing to her.
Shen Wei quickly shared this good news with everyone.
Especially to Mu Zhixing: "How about we go abroad to participate in an art exhibition?"
Qi Zhong wanted to go too, but he was afraid of flying. There was no way for him to go.
Now it was just Shen Wei accompanying Mu Zhixing.
When Gu Qingyan heard about it, he quickly came forward, volunteering: "I'll go with you!"
He had attended middle school and high school in the United States.
He was quite familiar with the place, and his English level was very high. There would be absolutely no problem with him acting as an interpreter.
When Liu Chef heard about this, he became worried: "What will you eat over there?"
He had a customer who had gone abroad before.
When that customer came back, he ate two pork knuckles in one sitting, which deeply shocked Liu Chef.
The customer looked as if he hadn't eaten for days, and then described his food and accommodation experiences abroad in a way that made listeners heartbroken and observers tearful.
Since then, Liu Chef had a stereotypical impression that there wasn't much good food abroad.
Liu Chef was concerned that Shen Wei and Mu Zhixing wouldn't eat well over there.
He wanted to prepare some food for them to take along.
But Gu Qingyan refused: "It won't get through security!"
Besides, this art exhibition would last 7 days, and they would stay abroad for 9 days. They would manage somehow.
This finally persuaded Liu Chef.
Liu Chef kept cooking various dishes for them. He was determined to give them a good nutritional boost before their departure.
Shen Wei said with a mix of amusement and exasperation, "We can have our nutrition boosted when we come back too."
They had bought first-class tickets.
Mu Zhixing was a bit nervous, as she had never been on a plane before. Shen Wei said, "Don't be afraid, I'll sit next to you."
Originally, Gu Qingyan had wanted to sit next to Shen Wei.
But because Mu Zhixing had experienced trauma before, she still had a faint fear of men.
So Gu Qingyan had to reluctantly sit in the row behind them.
Seeing Shen Wei there, Mu Zhixing felt much more at ease.
Before departure, Qi Zhong couldn't even focus on painting, repeatedly giving Mu Zhixing instructions and reminders.
He also told her to observe carefully at the museum, and to paint whatever she saw when she came back.
Mu Zhixing obediently nodded.
Qi Zhong was truly anxious about the child's departure.
In his heart, Mu Zhixing was no longer just a little apprentice.
She was like his own daughter.
If it weren't for his poor health, he would definitely want to go and see for himself.
Shen Wei could sense his separation anxiety and said, "I'll take care of her, don't worry."
Qi Zhong was reluctant to part: "Then I'll leave her in your care!"
After the two separated.
Qi Zhong turned around and ran into Lin Rui, not knowing how long she had been standing there watching.
The two of them had, after all, put on a show in front of Boss Lu before, so they weren't as unfamiliar as before.
Lin Rui couldn't help but joke, "Oh my, you're so reluctant to part."
Qi Zhong said, "She's my only little apprentice. It's thanks to you that she can go to the United States for this art exhibition."
Lin Rui said, "It's nothing!" She still had a big gift to give Qi Zhong.
However, at the moment, no one except Shen Wei knew about it.
Soon, Shen Wei, Mu Zhixing, and Gu Qingyan boarded the plane headed for the United States.
The first-class cabin was indeed quite nice, with very spacious seating.
They could even lie down. Shen Wei had downloaded several animations for the child in advance.
The little girl neither cried nor made a fuss, and when she got bored, she would take out her pencils and sketch the airplane.
During the flight of more than ten hours, Shen Wei had originally planned to take good care of Mu Zhixing.
But she found that the little one could happily entertain herself.
She didn't need much looking after.
After they arrived, they immediately went to sleep to adjust to the time difference.
The next day, when the exhibition officially opened.
Mu Zhixing's works had already been shipped over.
Now they realized just how powerful Lin Rui's capabilities were. She had directly opened a new painting exhibition in the entire gallery, a place with a daily flow of 8,000 to 10,000 people.
Almost everyone who came would stop by this area.
Although the paintings were ordinary, children's paintings were innocent and full of imagination.
People couldn't help but smile as they looked at them and continued walking. Until they saw Mu Zhixing's works.
Then they understood what it meant to be utterly outclassed.
Mu Zhixing's use of color was excellent, and since learning sketching from Qi Zhong, her line work ability and perspective were at a genius level.
It was hard to imagine that such beautiful paintings were actually created by a 6-year-old child.
People had just finished looking at normal children's paintings. The sudden impact of seeing a genius's work made them gasp in amazement.
So everyone stopped there. Some were taking photos, others were carefully appreciating it. Everyone was muttering, "Unbelievable."
On the very first day, many people saw it.
By the second day, even foreign artists were flocking to see it.
On the third day, television stations began conducting special interviews.
On the fourth day, large advertisements on the walls started playing on a loop.
By the fifth day, all foreign information began flooding into the country, creating another wave of publicity and hype.
Mu Zhixing was truly a genius.
Her first immature work, "Stars," had already been very popular.
Now she was famous even abroad. With such overwhelming publicity, plus outsiders looking at the spectacle and insiders examining the technique, it was truly remarkable.
Her work had already become very mature. Add to that her astonishing age of just 6 years old.
Everyone drew in a sharp breath.
Mu Zhixing had become a sensation.
