Reborn as a great painter, with a system, you can be willful

Chapter 123, Report, School of Art, Professor Qin and his Apprentice
At 9 o'clock in the morning, Jiang Zhe stood at the bus stop on the east side of the Art College, waiting for his parents to join him.

The weather was too hot, so he waited at the station for a few minutes and then ran to the shade of a nearby tree to cool off.

There was no new bus appearing in the distance, so he turned to look at the college entrance.

Today is still two days away from the scheduled reporting time.

Jiang Zhe has already inquired about it. Freshmen can report in advance. Because dormitory management is relatively relaxed, students who arrive early have the opportunity to live in a dormitory with better conditions.

In order to make himself more comfortable, he decided to report in early.

At this time, a bus pulled into the station.

Jiang Zhe saw his parents get off the car and hurried over. "Dad, you and mom don't have to come here. I can report by myself."

Jiang Yi said: "If it's too far, it's fine, but your school is so close, how can I not come and see you off.

When Jiang Zhe saw the excitement in his parents' eyes, he understood that sending him as a gift was just one of the reasons.

Xu Li looked at Jiang Zhe's clothes and saw that he was only carrying a schoolbag, so she said, "Why are you only carrying so little?"

Jiang Zhe led his parents towards the school gate and said as they walked, "Report first. If you need anything, you can always come out and buy it."

When the guard saw the posture of the family of three, he knew that they were new students reporting in.

He looked at Jiang Zhe's notification letter and told him where he should report.

Because the official reporting work has not yet begun, Jiang Zhe needs to go directly to the college's student affairs office to handle the formalities.

Jiang Zhe came to the office building of the Academy of Fine Arts, and Jiang Yi and his wife stayed outside the building waiting.

He went upstairs by himself, found the student affairs office, knocked on the door, and when he heard someone inviting him to come in, he pushed the door open and entered.

There are four desks in the student office, and two people are chatting. One of them is Teacher Jin, whom Jiang Zhe knows. There is also a young, thin female teacher.

Jiang Zhe greeted politely.

Teacher Jin stood up and said with a smile, "Jiang Zhe, you're reporting in so early?"

Jiang Zhe replied: "I want to get familiar with the environment in advance."

Teacher Jin said, "That's great. Let me introduce you." She pointed at the young female teacher and said, "Jiang Zhe, this is the instructor of your oil painting class, Teacher Hu, who is also your head teacher."

Teacher Jin said to Teacher Hu: "I told you about Jiang Zhe's situation, and now you have seen him in person."

Teacher Hu looked at Jiang Zhe with a smile on his face: "Welcome. I have heard of you. You are the first in the oil painting major and the first in the cultural courses of the Academy of Fine Arts."

"Hello, Teacher Hu." Jiang Zhe greeted Teacher Hu again. He took the opportunity to observe. This teacher had short hair, was very thin, had dark skin, and looked very energetic.

Teacher Jin looked at Jiang Zhe's notification letter and told him that the formal reporting procedures had not yet begun. According to the procedures, he could first settle down in the dormitory and then collect his belongings.

Teacher Hu said to Teacher Jin, "Jiang Zhe is the first one in our class to report. I will take him to the dormitory."

"Thank you, teacher."

When Jiang Zhe and Teacher Hu walked out of the office building, Jiang Yi and his wife hurried over to inquire about the situation.

Jiang Zhe introduced Teacher Hu to his parents.

Teacher Hu greeted them warmly and led the three of them to the dormitory.

The dormitory buildings of the School of Art are located in different areas of the school.

Teacher Hu introduced himself as a graduate of our school and stayed on as a counselor.

Jiang Zhe could tell that Teacher Hu was proud of being a teacher at the Art Academy.

Since he stepped into the campus, he also felt that the campus environment is very good. Jiang Yi and his wife don't talk much, but they are always smiling. So far, they are very satisfied with the school.

At a crossroads, Teacher Hu stopped and asked Jiang Zhe: "You have two choices for freshman dormitories. One is more cost-effective, with a one-year accommodation fee of 650 yuan. It is a six-person room with bunk beds, and each person has a desk and a wardrobe.

There is another one, which is a bit more expensive, and the annual accommodation fee is 860 yuan. It is a four-person room with an upper bunk and a lower table. Which one do you want to stay in?"

Do we still need to choose? Jiang Zhe said: "Students choose the one with more money."

Haha~ Teacher Hu heard that Jiang Zhe was paraphrasing a line from the TV series Journey to the West. He thought to himself, this student is not that kind of nerd.

"Come with me." Teacher Hu led Jiang Zhe to an old dormitory building. She told Jiang Zhe that the Art College originally had two male dormitories and two female dormitories. This year, a new female dormitory was built, and the original female dormitory building was vacated and converted into a male dormitory.

"You came early, so you can choose the building that was originally the girls' dormitory. The conditions there are better."

She took Jiang Zhe to an old 5-story building.

The dormitory was built ten years ago. Due to the terrain, to enter the dormitory gate, one has to cross a concrete bridge, which looks like a suspension bridge at a city gate.

They walked across the concrete bridge and entered the dormitory gate.

There is an administrator's room on the first floor.

A bald man was sitting in the administrator's room. When he saw Teacher Hu, he stood up quickly and said with a smile, "Teacher Hu is here."

Teacher Hu said, "Master Qu, I will bring the students from our class to the dormitory."

"Okay, I'll register you." Master Qu checked Jiang Zhe in while chatting with Teacher Hu.

After Jiang Zhe paid the fee, Master Qu took out a notebook, turned over the cover, pointed to the house number on it, and said to Jiang Zhe.

"The ones that aren't checked are empty dorm rooms. You can choose."

Jiang Zhe didn't know what to choose, so he looked at Teacher Hu. There was someone familiar with the situation, so why not ask for advice?

"Teacher Hu, could you please recommend one?"

Teacher Hu just stayed at the school as a teacher this year and really likes being asked for advice. "I've lived here before, let me show you. Room 309, not too high or too low, this room is not bad, a little far from the bathroom, but the orientation is good, it's well ventilated, and it's not directly facing the stairs."

Jiang Zhe said, "I'll listen to you and choose 309."

Master Qu took out the key and led the few people upstairs.

The staircase of this building is in the middle, the corridors on the left and right are symmetrical, and there are 16 dormitories on each floor, ten facing south and six facing north.

They came to the third floor, and Jiang Zhe saw the house number 309. The dormitory door was an old-fashioned wooden door.

Master Qu gave Jiang Zhe the key. Jiang Zhe used the key to unlock the door, pushed the door open, took a look into the room, and immediately held his breath and stepped back.

Others also saw the scene in the dormitory.

The ground was littered with discarded items and garbage.

"The bathroom is on the balcony, take your time to clean it." Master Qu instructed and turned to leave.

Jiang Zhe thought, this place, isn't it a girls' dormitory? Why does it look like this?

He turned to his parents and said, "Don't go in yet. I'll open the door and window for ventilation."

Teacher Hu was unwilling to enter. Jiang Yi and his wife wanted their son to behave well in front of the teacher. So, the three of them did not move.

Jiang Zhe carefully entered the dormitory and opened the door to the balcony. The balcony was open, which was convenient for ventilation.

He borrowed cleaning tools from Master Qu, swept all the debris out the door, and then checked the water and electricity.

The dormitory is temporarily open to people, and Teacher Hu suggests that Jiang Zhe go and collect his belongings first.

The school distributes a set of daily necessities to students, packed in a large three-color woven bag, including bedding, sheets, and a set of military training uniforms.

Jiang Zhe looked at the items he received and felt like he was back in the 80s. The military training uniform was even more exaggerated, without any decorations, very plain, just the Type 65 military uniform.

He moved his things back to the dormitory and saw a school store on the way. He immediately bought a few bottles of drinks and let Teacher Hu choose first.

Teacher Hu was indeed a little thirsty, so he didn't hesitate to pick up a bottle of drink and started drinking.

When Jiang Yi and his wife saw Jiang Zhe taking his things back, they wanted to help him pack up, but were stopped by Jiang Zhe.

Teacher Hu’s cell phone rang.

She picked up the phone, listened for a moment, and then said, "Okay, I understand."

She turned to Jiang Zhe and said, "Jiang Zhe, Professor Qin, I heard that you are here to report, so he asked me to take you to his office."

When Jiang Yi and his wife heard this, they immediately said, "Xiaozhe, go quickly. We'll be waiting for you here."

Jiang Zhe wiped his sweat with a towel and said to Teacher Hu, "Teacher Hu, shall we set off now?"

"Let's go."

……

Teacher Hu led Jiang Zhe to the graduate building of the Academy of Fine Arts, where the teachers' offices and professors' studios were also located.

They came to the second floor, and Teacher Hu knocked on the door of an office. "Teacher Qin!"

"Please come in!"

Teacher Hu pushed open the door.

Jiang Zhe followed behind and walked into the office.

This office is very large and is divided into two areas: the studio and the office.

A gray-haired old man stood up and looked at Jiang Zhe.

"Hello, Professor Qin." Jiang Zhe greeted politely.

He heard from Teacher Hu that Professor Qin was the leader of the oil painting major and also Teacher Hu's master's supervisor.

"Jiang Zhe is here, welcome." Professor Qin responded enthusiastically and motioned for Jiang Zhe and the other man to sit down and talk.

The three of them sat down in the reception area.

Professor Qin was very thin, with sunken eye sockets. He wore a sweatshirt and shorts and old-fashioned sandals.

"Jiang Zhe, how is your report today? Are there any difficulties?"

Teacher Hu went to make tea and Jiang Zhe helped.

He poured tea for Professor Qin and Teacher Hu, and said, "The school is very thoughtful. There is no difficulty."

"Okay, settle down as soon as possible. If you have any difficulties, come to your teacher Hu. I also heard that your work won an award in the United States, and another work was shortlisted in a competition in the United States?"

Jiang Zhe said: "Yes, maybe I am lucky."

Teacher Hu's eyes lit up and he stared at Jiang Zhe.

Professor Qin said, "This is not luck. Many students from the college also participated, but in the end, they didn't make the shortlist. Instead, your work was shortlisted."

He took a sip of tea and continued, "I called you here first to congratulate you. Secondly, I also want to advise you to study hard after you come to school and participate in these activities. However, don't let some social activities take up too much of your energy."

Jiang Zhe said: "I remember it, thank you for your guidance."

"If you have any confusion in the future, you can always come to me."

"Thank you, Teacher Qin." Jiang Zhe quietly changed his address.

"Okay, go and get busy." Professor Qin smiled and let go.

After Jiang Zhe left, Professor Qin asked Teacher Hu.

"Look, what's his family situation like?"

Teacher Hu said: "Jiang Zhe's parents are both honest ordinary workers."

Professor Qin said: "It's interesting that I can't tell what his background or connections are. He may have won the award based on his own strength.

Please help me keep an eye on this student."
