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

Chapter 347, School Announcement, Opportunity to Take Off

On Monday morning, Jiang Zhe arrived at school a little earlier than usual.

Yesterday, I received a notice from Professor Qin that the school has agreed to award Jiang Zhe the Dean's Scholarship this semester, and will also announce his winning news to the entire school and try to get it published in newspapers.

He estimated that the news had already spread, so in order to avoid excessive courtesy, he decided to make as few appearances as possible.

It feels good to be the center of attention, but being too outstanding can easily lead to being hated.

The small canteen had just opened for business when Jiang Zhe came in to buy breakfast.

He brought breakfast for two people back to the car, intending to have breakfast in the car. At the same time, he asked Chen Yan to find him in the car.

After waiting for a while, I saw Chen Yan walking towards the parking lot entrance.

He rolled down the car window and waved to Chen Yan.

Chen Yan sat in the front passenger seat. "So early today? When I came here, I passed by the bulletin board on purpose. The school didn't post the good news. I guess most people will post it after they start work today."

Jiang Zhe handed over the breakfast.

"Thank you!" Chen Yan opened the breakfast, smelled the fragrance, and then said, "I guess by then, many people will come to see you."

Jiang Zhe said: "Fortunately, I should be able to have some peace and quiet during breakfast time."

Chen Yan chewed a bun in her mouth and said: "Although there is no good news, the news of your winning should have spread. Yesterday, people in our class and even in the dormitory asked about you. I feel that you should be able to become famous."

Jiang Zhe understood that the previous auction success, plus this award, would be enough to increase his popularity, but it would also inevitably bring troubles.

After dinner, he asked Chen Yan to go to class first.

I kept track of the time and walked towards the classroom.

On the way, I saw teachers and staff from the Academic Affairs Office walking towards the bulletin board.

A teacher recognized Jiang Zhe and pointed to a roll of posters in his hand: "Look, there's good news about you."

"Thank you, teacher." Jiang Zhe responded.

He arrived at the classroom just as the bell rang and entered the classroom with the teacher.

The teacher smiled and said, "Jiang Zhe, I heard about your good news. Congratulations." He knew Jiang Zhe, and after hearing the good news, he had a deeper impression of this student.

Jiang Zhe expressed his gratitude. He attracted a lot of attention since he entered the classroom.

In the past, those people who were chatting noisily would not care about anyone else except the teacher.

Jiang Zhe faced many eyes, chose an empty seat, and sat down quickly. He was able to face this situation calmly.

"We heard that you won the award. Is that true?" A student nearby came over and asked in a low voice.

Jiang Zhe nodded: "Yes, I won the award."

"Awesome!" A student in the back row also whispered, "Several teachers and graduate students did not win the award, but you won first." He was not shortlisted, so he felt very relaxed when talking about this matter.

He was actually happy to see Jiang Zhe surpass several teachers and graduate students.

The teacher coughed lightly, signaling those who were chatting to quiet down. Then everyone fell silent and pretended to be listening to the class.

Jiang Zhe finally calmed down and could concentrate on listening to the lectures, taking notes, and accumulating knowledge.

During the break between classes, Jiang Zhe ran to get some water and turned on the water. When he returned to the classroom, several classmates immediately surrounded him.

"Jiang Zhe, we saw the announcement. Congratulations."

"Brother, please support me in the future."

More students gathered around to congratulate him. Some were slow to react or too embarrassed to do so and could only envy him. Of course, some people were jealous.

Regardless of their mentality, many people had a vague feeling that Jiang Zhe might take off this time when they heard that he won the silver medal in such an international competition.

Many people’s success has an opportunity.

We all know about art history. Many artists started to take off with an opportunity that was insignificant at the time.

Jiang Zhe was very proud of the numerous congratulations, but he was also a little annoyed by the constant politeness. However, he had to do it. In the following time, whether it was during the break, lunch break, or after school in the afternoon, classmates came to Jiang Zhe one after another to congratulate him.

In the afternoon, when Jiang Zhe was about to leave school, he saw some people gathered in front of the bulletin board.

He was too embarrassed to go over and read the content.

Chen Yan used Jiang Zhe's camera to take a picture of the announcement as a souvenir.

Jiang Zhe glanced at the content and felt a little embarrassed.

That night, Jiang Zhe returned to the studio and opened the honor value page again.

Today, I have received so many blessings that my honor value may have reached its peak.

The experience value cursor shows signs of moving, but unfortunately it has not reached the maximum level.

On Tuesday and Wednesday, the popularity of Jiang Zhe's award gradually decreased.

After all, students are more concerned about their own lives. They are envious on the first day, still talking about it on the second day, and become indifferent on the third day.

Jiang Zhe saw the honor value cursor and never reached the end.

On Wednesday evening, Wang Zhen called Jiang Zhe.

"Jiang Zhe, come to my gallery when you have time. Christie's sent the auction catalogue."

Jiang Zhe agreed to meet at the gallery as soon as possible.

He drove to the gallery and saw staff leaving get off work one after another.

He found Wang Zhen and said, "I am here to bother you again."

Wang Zhen took out the catalogue and said, "Look, the printing quality is really good."

Jiang Zhe picked up the catalog and flipped through it quickly.

This auction mainly features works by American painters, but there are also a small number of works by painters from Europe, South America, and Asian countries.

Jiang Zhe found pictures of his works.

Because of printing, the picture is reduced in proportion, but it is very clear.

Jiang Zhe examines his work. Looking back now, he is still very satisfied.

He then saw the following introduction. In addition to the work information, there was also an estimated price: US$2.5 to US$4.

Jiang Zhe compared his own work with other lots, and couldn't help feeling a little proud.

In the catalogue, there are more than a dozen pieces of work by famous American painters, with an estimated value of $10 or even higher.

Jiang Zhe remembered that he had seen their works before the art exam, but he did not expect that just one year later, his works would be listed in the same auction as theirs.

Although there is still a gap in the estimates, with the help of the system, I can surpass them.

"Compared with others, we still have a gap in auctioning." Wang Zhen talked about another topic.

"What do you mean?" Jiang Zhe asked.

"Publicity, the operation of painters and works. Today, Christie's staff contacted me. After your work won the award, they immediately followed up with publicity. In addition, they contacted some customers who may be interested in your work.

I heard that many people were interested in your work at the preview. They are now predicting that the actual auction price may exceed the number printed in the catalog. Let me explain it to you.

"I understand." Jiang Zhe said.

Wang Zhen said: "If there is a chance, I would like to go and learn."

Jiang Zhe said: "Let's find an opportunity and go together."

Wang Zhen said: "I feel that this auction may be an opportunity for you to take off."
