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

Chapter 171, Finalists, Coincidence, Notice of Studying Abroad
Jiang Zhe was certainly happy to hear that his work was shortlisted, but because he had similar experiences before, he did not show any emotional fluctuations when expressing his gratitude to Wang Zhen.

Wang Zhen asked, "Why do I feel like you don't care about this at all? Do you know that the percentage of candidates who make the cut is less than one in ten?"

Jiang Zhe said: "Of course I am concerned, but there is no point in being anxious."

"Okay, okay, I can't argue with you, let's get down to business." I heard from a judge that your work was selected by luck, and you were almost eliminated.

Jiang Zhe asked: "What do you need me to do?"

Wang Zhen described the situation she learned: "According to the judge, the review went through several rounds of elimination, and your work was on the edge until the last round, when several teachers from the organizing committee and heads of relevant departments felt that your work could reflect the changes of the times, so it was kept.

No matter what, the next step is to win the award. I suggest you come to the provincial capital as soon as possible, and we can find a chance to meet the judges. "

When Jiang Chao heard Wang Zhen bring up the old matter again, he still used the same excuse to refuse.

Wang Zhen continued to persuade: "As long as you are shortlisted, there is hope of winning the award. Even if the hope is slim, you have to work hard."

Jiang Zhe looked at his watch and saw that class was about to start in a few minutes.

Wang Zhen didn't hear a response, so he immediately changed the subject: "There is another piece of news. In order to expand the influence of the event, the organizers have joined forces with several departments to hold an invitational exhibition. The exhibition will feature works by famous Russian artists. Do you want to come and see it?"

When Jiang Zhe heard the news, he thought that if he wanted to see the exhibition, he could go to the provincial capital. "Well... let me check the time."

Wang Zhen said unhappily, "Do you have time to see the exhibition?"

Jiang Zhe was not embarrassed at all: "This is a learning opportunity, it's different."

"I'll send you information about the exhibition." Wang Zhen said, "When you get to the provincial capital, remember to participate in the event."

Jiang Zhe said vaguely: "Let me take a look at the exhibition information first."

"Well, that's it for now." Wang Zhen was about to hang up the phone.

"Don't worry." Jiang Zhe hurriedly stopped him and said, "Um, is there any news about the college students' joint calligraphy and painting exhibition?"

Wang Zhen said: "No news. According to convention, most of the student works recommended by your art college will be shortlisted. Although there will be a review process, it is only to eliminate works of too poor quality. As for the subsequent selection, it depends on the level of each individual. After all, the effort is beyond the painting.

Jiang Zhe understood what Wang Zhen meant and expressed his gratitude again.

End the call and return to the classroom for class.

This week's professional course is art appreciation. After the teacher finished the class, he assigned an assignment to write a paper.

At noon, Teacher Hu gathered the students majoring in oil painting in the studio and announced a temporary notice.

"There is an important exhibition in the provincial capital this weekend, featuring a group of Russian and Chinese painters and the works of the Itinerant School. The department has decided to organize a group trip to the provincial capital to see the exhibition. We will leave on Friday evening and return to school on Sunday night. Because it involves accommodation and meals, participation is voluntary. If you are willing to participate, please go to the class monitor to sign up."

Jiang Zhe didn't expect that the school would organize an exhibition, which would save him a lot of trouble.

While the other students were discussing, Teacher Hu found Jiang Zhe and Fu Min separately. Because both of their works were included in the college students' calligraphy and painting joint exhibition, he suggested that they must participate in the event.

Jiang Zhe immediately said that he would participate in the event, and Fu Min also said that she would definitely go.

According to statistics by the class monitor, most of the students in the class will participate, except for a few students who have personal reasons.

According to the activity arrangement, they will depart by train on Friday evening, arrive in the provincial capital in the evening, visit for a day on Saturday, participate in activities on Sunday morning, and then take the bus back to school so as not to delay next week's classes.

Teacher Hu announced the discipline requirements and preparations needed to be made before going out.

The students were very happy to take part in this kind of group activity for the first time after arriving at university and began to make their own preparations.

Jiang Zhexian returned home and told his parents what happened.

Jiang Yi and his wife naturally supported him and told him to be careful.

Jiang Zhe returned to school and told Chen Yan the news.

Chen Yan also wanted to go, but because this outing was a group activity, she gave up the idea. In the afternoon, Jiang Zhe took out some cash to pay for the outing. At that time, the means of payment were not so convenient.

When he was walking to the studio, he happened to meet two students from the Chinese Painting Department. They had met each other when they were sketching, so they greeted each other politely when they met again.

One of them was more talkative: "Jiang Zhe, do you want to go to the exhibition on the weekend?"

Jiang Zhe said: "Go. Our teacher suggests that everyone who can go should go, so most people in our class will go. What about you?" He suddenly thought of something.

A student majoring in Chinese painting said, “Our class is still counting.”

Jiang Zhe said, "Please help me call Lan Xin. I need to return the information I borrowed to her."

"okay."

Jiang Zhe thought about Lan Xin's difficult life and wondered if she would have a headache because of the money issue.

Soon, Lan Xin came from the other direction of the corridor.

"Jiang Zhe, what do you want to talk to me about?"

The previous few contacts gradually changed the relationship between the two people.

Jiang Zhe asked, "We're going out to see an exhibition this weekend, do you want to go?"

Lan Xin said, "Go."

Jiang Zhe said, "I heard that you were not going, so I came to ask."

Lan Xin was stunned for a moment: "Who sent the message?"

Jiang Zhe confirmed: "It seems that you really are not going."

"I have something going on at home, so I won't be attending."

Jiang Zhe took out his wallet, counted out 800 yuan and handed it to Lan Xin.

Lan Xin stepped back: "What are you doing?"

Jiang Zhe said, "Take it. You have to participate in class activities, otherwise people will think you are not sociable."

"I have money." Lan Xin refused.

Jiang Zhe said, "Take it. I'll lend it to you. When you have money, return it to me."

When Lan Xin heard Jiang Zhe say this, her attitude softened.

Jiang Zhe stuffed the money into her hand and said, "I heard that this time when we go to the provincial capital, we can not only see foreign exhibitions, but other exhibitions are also good."

Lan Xin said: "It won't take that much."

Jiang Zhe said, "The poor family is rich on the road, go and pay the fee quickly, otherwise it will be difficult to book a ticket. I'll go back first." He felt that since he had gained skills from Lan Xin's gift, this little help was really nothing.

Lan Xin saw Jiang Zhe was about to leave and said, "I will pay you back as soon as possible."

Jiang Zhe said: "Don't be too tired, don't be anxious."

Lan Xin watched Jiang Zhe walk away and disappear around the corner of the stairs before she turned and walked towards the classroom.

After paying the tuition in class, Jiang Zhe returned to the dormitory to prepare to go out.

He had enough money at that time and didn't need to bring too many things. If he really needed something, he could buy it when he arrived in the provincial capital, so he only prepared one suitcase.

On Friday evening, Jiang Zhe left the dormitory with a suitcase on his back. Before leaving, he specifically asked his three roommates to take good care of the little black cat.
