PPS Chapter 77
by VolareZhang Haoyu felt this wasn’t right, afraid he might affect Chu Zhaoyi’s image with Professor Qin, but he was also reluctant to give up this good opportunity. It was difficult to get a spot in the public studio, and mainly, their major was quite expensive. If he could save some money… his mom wouldn’t have to work so hard.
He wouldn’t have to find a part-time job and could spend more time on his studies…
Or should he just go less often? Avoid Professor Qin?
“I’ve seen your paintings, and the teacher has too. He said you have a lot of talent. I don’t know if you’re interested in finding a teacher. If you are, give me one of your paintings, and I’ll show it to the other teachers to see if anyone wants you.”
“…”
“!!!”
“Really?!” Zhang Haoyu was about to jump out of his chair!
Any of the teachers in their school were top-notch artists in the field, with a lot of pride. They rarely took on students, and if they did, it was usually before the semester started.
And to put it bluntly, his family’s circumstances were really not good. This field didn’t make much money at the beginning when you weren’t famous. Many people gave up after graduation due to reality and went into other industries, or at least didn’t develop in the art direction.
Most people with not much money went into more commercial directions like illustration or animation design after graduation.
So the teachers at school didn’t take on many students, especially those from less well-off families.
Engaging in art is a dream, and dreams require money to build.
But now Chu Zhaoyi gave him this opportunity. At least his paintings could have a chance to appear in front of various teachers.
“Yeah,” Chu Zhaoyi nodded, this was all true. That day, he saw a painting discarded on Zhang Haoyu’s desk. He thought it was pretty good, but Zhang Haoyu didn’t seem to like it very much and crumpled it up to throw it away.
He directly took it and showed it to Professor Qin.
Professor Qin’s eyes lit up when he saw the painting. Although it wasn’t exactly to his liking, it was still a good prospect.
“Godfather!!!” Zhang Haoyu knelt down in a slippery motion, directly acknowledging him as his godfather.
It should be known that in a male dormitory, the value of this phrase is not generally high.
The commotion here was a bit loud, attracting some attention.
Xie Haoran seemed to have noticed it too, as if he had just seen Chu Zhaoyi come in. He eagerly came over and stood in front of the two of them.
His fair face was full of hypocritical apology.
“Zhaoyi…”
Chu Zhaoyi frowned.
Xie Haoran seemed frightened, took a step back, and hurriedly said, “Sorry, I didn’t pay attention. I won’t call you that anymore.”
“I just wanted to congratulate you on passing the preliminary round of ‘Huì yǐng liúguāng’.”
“Yeah,” Chu Zhaoyi’s reaction was still indifferent, his gaze falling on Xie Haoran’s face, his slow and unhurried manner like watching a clown.
Xie Haoran met that gaze that seemed to see through him. The hand hanging by his side couldn’t help but tighten. Almost everyone in the class was looking this way. He had already come, so he definitely couldn’t let himself be embarrassed.
“I know you don’t like me because of the things on the internet, but that wasn’t my intention. I’ve been clarifying this matter, but everyone doesn’t seem to believe it… Or you could ask Professor Qin to come forward and say a few words for you?”
Xie Haoran’s words undoubtedly pushed the topic’s heat to a climax. If the rumor that Professor Qin was forced by Gu Yusen was false, then why didn’t Professor Qin stand up and say a word?
Didn’t this also prove that Professor Qin was forced to do this?
To the point that he didn’t explain.
“What do you want to say?”
“Are you trying to tell everyone that Professor Qin isn’t coming forward because Brother Sanmu coerced him into accepting me, and he’s angry and unwilling to come forward?”
Chu Zhaoyi still didn’t have much expression, but his tone was exceptionally sincere.
As the saying goes,
For this kind of two-faced person,
Sincerity is the most effective.
