Rebirth 07: Start adding points from elementary school students

Chapter 161 Do you want to be my master? (Short third update)
In fact, it was not Li Yan who looked for Yang Chengzhang, but Yang Chengzhang who looked for Li Yan.

This story started on Monday this week. Li Yan, who was very self-motivated on Sunday night, went to the office with the notes given to him by Guo Qiwen as soon as the class meeting ended the next day.

He put the notebook containing many high-end newspapers and magazines back on Guo Qiwen's desk and said word by word:

“I want to order all!”

Guo Qiwen thought he had heard it wrong and didn't react at all.

"Teacher Guo, I want to subscribe to all these magazines."

"12 semi-monthly magazines, 27 monthly magazines, 7 half-yearly magazines, 3 annual magazines, a total of 49 books. Do you want to order all of them?"

"Yes," Li Yan saw Guo Qiwen's surprised face and thought that she was greedy, "Well... if it's too much and you have trouble with the funds, I can make up for it..."

"What are you talking about?" Guo Qiwen smiled. "How can the school not afford such a small amount of money? The main thing is... Li Yan, these magazines are very difficult to read, and they are not the kind of literary magazines that you can just finish reading and forget about. I gave you this notebook because I hope you can read it carefully and absorb these profound philosophical thoughts and cutting-edge technologies."

"I think so too."

Guo Qiwen hesitated to speak, and finally patted his head, "It's still my fault. I still treated you as an ordinary student, and I was still worried that you would have no time to study after reading these books..."

“Reading these books is learning.”

"Okay, I'll apply for it later. It's almost 09, so I'll book you a full year."

"Thank you, Teacher Guo!" Li Yan was about to leave with a smile, but heard Guo Qiwen shout "Wait" again.

"You're not going home on New Year's Day?"

"No reply." Oh, another event?
"Yang Chengzhang, do you remember?"

"Of course I remember, Chairman of the Provincial Artists Association."

"He wants to see you."

The aftermath of the art performance has not yet passed? Li Yan was a little surprised. This big man came to see her, probably because he had nothing else to do except painting.

"What do you want from me?"

Guo Qiwen actually made a rare face: "I have no right to know about the affairs of big shots."

Li Yan put on a speechless expression like a dead fish.

"He also said that you still didn't give him your contact information, and you didn't take the initiative to contact him, so he had to pass it on to you through Principal Tan."

"Ah, I've been busy lately."

Even though Guo Qiwen was almost unable to hold back, he felt that there was a thirty-year-old soul living in the body of the junior high school student in front of him.

"Joking aside, Li Yan, get up early on New Year's Day and wait for me at the school gate at 8 o'clock. I will take you to see Chairman Yang."

"I usually get up at six."

"That's great." Guo Qiwen chuckled, "Go back to class."

"Teacher Guo, didn't you also work overtime on New Year's Day?"

"also?"

"Teacher Tao also took Lin Heng and me to record songs on the weekend."

"Yeah, overtime." Guo Qiwen was lost in thought for a moment. "Overtime is full of all kinds of flavors."

So, on New Year's Day in 2009, Guo Qiwen, the head teacher of the Experimental Class of New Taipei No. Middle School, got up early, looked at his wife and children who were still sleeping, bought a bread, drove his red Mazda and left home.

The first day of the new year starts with overtime work.

After leaving the office, Guo Qiwen felt less distant and looked much younger. He even chatted with Li Yan about family matters.

However, Li Yan had little interest in Teacher Guo's story today. He had been guessing all the way about Yang Chengzhang's purpose in meeting him.

Painting is definitely the theme. Is it to test Li Yan's aesthetic taste? Or to ask him to paint a picture on the spot? Is it a gathering of friends of different ages, or to introduce him to some talented people?
While we were guessing, the red Mazda gradually drove into the villa area.

The spacing between the villas is very pleasant, and each one has a unique small courtyard.

"Teacher Guo, does Teacher Yang... live here?"

"Yes." No... Li Yan thought of some not-so-nice things. He might have to reconsider whether to keep a distance from Yang Chengzhang.

Seeing Li Yan's tangled face, Guo Qiwen laughed:
"What are you thinking about, Li Yan? Are you scared?"

"Seriously, yes, a little bit. I'm not too happy about this."

"What are you touching, hahaha, now you look like a freshman in junior high school."

What do you mean by like? It is obviously.

Guo Qiwen slowly stopped the car in front of a three-story villa and motioned Li Yan to get out.

"Before becoming the president of Linjiang Academy of Fine Arts and the chairman of the Provincial Artists Association, Teacher Yang was first a famous painter." Guo Qiwen rang the doorbell of the iron gate of the wall.

After a few seconds, the mahogany door of the villa opened, and Yang Chengzhang, wearing a down jacket, walked in quickly and energetically.

As soon as the door opened, Yang Chengzhang nodded to Guo Qiwen and immediately held Li Yan's hand: "Li Yan, you are so cold. I have shown my sincerity many times, but I can't get even one text message from you."

Li Yan was so embarrassed that he could only laugh dryly.

Of course, Yang Chengzhang was not really looking for trouble. He just joked a few words and invited the teacher and student into the house.

The decoration of the villa is very classic, with all mahogany furniture in a mainly Western style, but the paintings and ornaments are all Chinese style, a typical mix and match - the rich people of that era loved to do this.

Li Yan looked at the chandelier above her head that looked like a crystal palace, and felt a little nervous.

You show off your wealth. Isn't that a bit too noble, brother?

"Teacher Yang, are you home alone today?" Guo Qiwen tried to find something to say, which made it difficult for Li Yan to speak.

He originally planned to go straight to the point with Yang Chengzhang if he entered the room alone: ​​Tell me, Old Yang, what do you want to see me about?

"As soon as the New Year's Day holiday came, my heart was wandering. My grandson kept clamoring for his parents to take him out to play, so grandma went with him." Yang Chengzhang made some tea and pushed a few pieces of shaqima over. "Have you two eaten? I made this shaqima myself, try it."

Guo Qiwen nodded, and even though he had already eaten the bread, he still opened one.

Li Yan waved her hand and said, "I didn't eat, so I don't drink tea, but I don't like shaqima, so I don't eat it."

Guo Qiwen almost choked.

Yang Chengzhang laughed and took out a box of cookies from under the coffee table. "What about this?"

"That's fine, thank you, Teacher Yang."

"This boy is really special, I really like him very much." Yang Chengzhang's hair was not combed, flying wildly, and his face was full of wrinkles from smiling, making his temperament look a little subtle.

After chatting for a while and Li Yan eating a few cookies, Yang Chengzhang finally got to the point.

He invited the teacher and student to go up to the third floor - this entire floor was Yang Chengzhang's painting warehouse.

As expected, he wanted me to give another appreciation of the paintings. Li Yan curled his lips. He would just be an honest child today. He would be praised when necessary, but no one should be allowed to praise him when he shouldn't.

When Guo Qiwen was in this situation, he naturally remained silent.

Yang Chengzhang listed all the paintings like the back of his hand - no, this is Jiazhen - pointing here and there and clicking on the representative works, then turned around and came to a painting dominated by white tones.

Obviously, this painting is of snow, snowy ground, snowy mountains, and heavy snow all over the sky.

The painting is not big, only one meter square, and is framed in a solid wood and leaning against the wall.

"Li Yan, take a look at this picture of 'Whiteness' and give your comments."

At first glance, Li Yan thought this painting was... ordinary. After looking at it a few more times, he felt that there was nothing amazing about it. Just as he was about to speak, he heard Yang Chengzhang say:
"This is a small test from me. If you can pass it, I will accept you as my last disciple."

Guo Qiwen's eyes widened and his mouth opened slightly.

Wow, you want to be my master?
Li Yan swallowed the words that came to her lips. It was indeed a test. She had to look more carefully...

Criticism must be based on reasons!

　Final exams are coming soon, winter break
