Chapter 674 Funding
Shen Nianxu looked at the little boy with pity and expectation in her eyes and tender gaze.
She bent down slightly, carefully admiring the little boy's painting, her fingers gently touching the paper, feeling the power in his brushstrokes.
“This child is very talented. If he can receive better training, he will definitely achieve great things in the future,” Shen Nianxu said softly to Gu Tingyu.
Gu Tingyu nodded in agreement: "That's right, we can't let children like this lose the opportunity to pursue their artistic dreams because of family poverty."
So they decided to provide the child with a full scholarship and living allowance.
They found the boy's parents in a simple, cramped house, where a damp and impoverished atmosphere permeated the air.
The walls were peeling and the furniture was old and worn, but the little boy's paintings covered the walls, adding a touch of brightness to this gloomy space.
Gu Tingyu and Shen Nianxu sat on the worn-out chairs and sincerely said to the boy's parents, "Your child has an extremely high talent in art. Our art training center hopes to provide him with a full scholarship and living allowance so that he can study art with peace of mind."
Gu Tingyu's voice was calm and sincere, hoping to make the parents feel their sincerity.
Upon hearing this, the boy's parents' eyes flashed with a hint of surprise, but it was quickly replaced by worry.
"This... how can I accept this? Our family is not well-off, and we never thought our child would have such an opportunity."
"But won't this cause you too much trouble?" The parent nervously twisted their hands together, their face showing hesitation and unease.
His gaze shifted back and forth between Gu Tingyu and Shen Nianxu.
Shen Nianxu quickly replied, "No, we hope to help talented children like yours realize their dreams."
This is also the responsibility of our training center.
Upon hearing the news, the little boy's eyes welled up with tears of excitement: "Thank you, older brother and sister! I will definitely study hard!"
His voice was clear and crisp, and his hand gripped the paintbrush tightly.
However, this decision has drawn criticism from some other parents.
The atmosphere at the parents' meeting at the training center was tense yet enthusiastic.
A parent stood up; he was dressed in designer clothes and had a disgruntled expression on his face.
"Why give that child special treatment? Our children are also studying here; this is unfair to them!"
Shen Nianxu stood up and explained with a smile, "This parent, that child comes from a poor family, but he has extremely high artistic talent."
We provide funding so that every child with a dream can have the opportunity, and this will not affect the learning of other children.
Our training center is committed to cultivating outstanding artistic talent, and we hope everyone can understand this.
Her voice was soft and patient, her tone full of sincerity and expectation, trying to calm the parents' anger.
But the parent wasn't impressed. He snorted and said dismissively, "Talent? Who knows if it's real?"
Maybe you're being biased and trying to get special treatment.
He gave a mocking smile.
Gu Tingyu frowned, stood up, and looked at the parent, saying, "We made this decision based on the child's actual situation."
Our training center has limited resources, and we hope to use them where they are most needed.
If that child receives funding, he will definitely make contributions to the arts in the future.
We also hope that other parents will teach their children to care for and help others, so as to create a positive learning environment together.
Other parents also began to discuss the matter, with some expressing support and others taking a wait-and-see approach.
