Several girls in the classroom sat together and chatted softly. Even though the class hadn't started yet, students were not allowed to talk loudly in the classroom. It was a rule of the National Academy.
After Tao Wan put out the painting tools, he held his chin in a daze. The ink painting curtain by the window was tied up and the window was open. He turned his head to look out the window and looked at the scenery outside.
Such a good classroom, such a good school environment, behind the coexistence of elegance and luxury, it needed a lot of money to support. The tuition of the National Academy was quite expensive. The original owner's parents were dead, and he had a sick brother. He couldn't afford the tuition here soon. But since Tao Wan replaced him, of course, he would find a way to get the tuition and help him achieve his dream.
The students entered the classroom one after another. Not long after the bell rang, a middle-aged man with a big belly and a round waist, wearing a modified Chinese white shirt, walked in. This was their Chinese painting teacher and the head teacher of this class. His name was Hu Wenshan. He was a rich middle-aged man. Maybe it was because he was a Chinese painting teacher, but he didn't have any ancient temperament, but he liked to wear ancient clothes.
Hu Wenshan sat down behind the podium and looked at the students below. He said, "Before the class starts, I have something to say. The name list of the scholarship winners is out. This year's scholarship and our class scholarship are still won by Xu Shaoyan. Congratulations, Xu Shaoyan. Remember to guard against arrogance and impatience, and continue to work hard to improve yourself. "
"Thank you, teacher. I will work harder." Xu Shaoyan said with a smile and nodded slightly to the students who were looking at him.
Hu Wenshan turned his gaze to Tao Yuan to observe his reaction. He found that Tao Yuan's face was calm, which made him a little surprised. After waiting for a while, seeing that Tao Yuan still had no reaction, he could only clear his throat and say, "Okay, then … um, let's start the class."
Tao Wan's calmness surprised the other students and they glanced at him from time to time.
Hu Wenshan pressed a button on the podium and turned on the control screen on the table. The screen behind him immediately lit up.
Hu Wenshan looked like he was about to start the class, but he didn't want to officially start the class. In the end, he couldn't help but take the initiative to ask, "Du Qingyu, do you have anything you want to say?"
Tao Wan knew what he meant, but he looked at him with a puzzled expression and said, "Should I say something? Teacher, what do you want me to say? "
"Don't you have anything to say about Xu Shaoyan winning two scholarships again?" Hu Wenshan looked at him and asked.
Tao Wan turned his head indifferently and looked at Xu Shaoyan. "Congratulations, Xu Shaoyan."
Xu Shaoyan was also surprised by his attitude. After being stunned for a moment, he replied, "Thank, thank you."
"That's it?" Hu Wenshan thought, "What's wrong with him today? Why is he so calm?"
"I already congratulated him. What else do you want me to do?" Tao Wan said.
"Hmm … very good. Your attitude shows that you have grown up." After Hu Wenshan came to his senses, he knew that his performance was too obvious. In order to hide his guilty conscience, he showed a gratified expression.
"Today, we are going to talk about the combination of mountains and water …" Hu Wenshan finally started the class, but he couldn't calm down. He was waiting for Tao Wan to argue with him so that he could give him a third demerit for disrespecting the teacher.
At this moment, the person who was more surprised than Hu Wenshan and more regretful that Tao Wan didn't make a scene was Xu Shaoyan, who won the scholarship. Because he knew what the original owner's family situation was, he also knew that if he didn't get the scholarship, he wouldn't be able to pay the tuition for the next quarter. If he couldn't pay the tuition, he would have to voluntarily withdraw from school. But why was he so calm? This made Xu Shaoyan very confused and puzzled.
Xu Shaoyan thought, "Could it be that he doesn't lack the money to pay the tuition?" But he always paid attention to his movements and didn't find any other sources of money. Also, he recently offended someone at his workplace and was about to lose his job. He also had a sick brother and needed a lot of money to buy medicine. Why was he so calm?
If the original owner was sitting here, there was a high possibility that he would argue with Hu Wenshan. But at this moment, the one sitting here was Tao Wan. How could he know the other's purpose and still argue with him?
The original owner was arrogant, but his temper was a bit impatient. Especially after his father went bankrupt and became sick, the pressure of life and school made him more impetuous and impulsive.
In order to get the scholarship this quarter, the original owner put in a lot of effort because he wanted to use this scholarship to pay the tuition for the next quarter. Originally, he thought that even if he couldn't get the annual scholarship, as long as he got the class scholarship, at least his tuition fees would be covered. His burden would also be reduced. However, his classmate was Xu Shaoyan, who had gotten the annual scholarship, so he would definitely get the class scholarship.
If Xu Shaoyan really got the scholarship with his own ability, the original owner had nothing to say. After all, he couldn't be compared to him and could only accept his fate. However, the original owner of the body had a higher score than Xu Shaoyan in his cultural studies. His painting skills were also not lower than Xu Shaoyan's. But every time, his painting results were severely suppressed. And Xu Shaoyan, whose painting skills were slightly lower than his, always scored much higher than him.
Because the major's score was higher, the original owner's total score was lower than Xu Shaoyan's. Then, Xu Shaoyan took away the scholarship.
This wasn't the first time such a situation had happened. The original owner couldn't help but look for Hu Wenshan to argue with him twice, but he was rebuked on the grounds that Xu Shaoyan's works were more artistic, so his score was higher. After infuriating the original owner, the original owner was given a demerit on the grounds that the original owner didn't respect the teachers.
The original owner had already been given a demerit twice. As long as he had three demerits, he wouldn't be able to participate in the Youth Cup Chinese Art Competition at the end of the semester.
Hu Wenshan and Xu Shaoyan both knew that the original owner's standard of Chinese art was higher than Xu Shaoyan's. Usually, Hu Wenshan could suppress his score. But for that kind of important competition, the works would be sent over and judged by the masters. It would be very difficult for Xu Shaoyan to win against the original owner.
This competition was very important to Xu Shaoyan. So, he asked his father to bribe Hu Wenshan to find a way to make the original owner unable to participate in the competition. But Tao Wan's calmness and calmness were completely out of their expectations. They were secretly anxious. If they missed this opportunity to anger him, they could only think of other ways.
Hu Wenshan was absent-minded during the lesson. He couldn't calm down because of Tao Wan's performance. Xu Shaoyan looked like he was listening to the lesson seriously, but he was also absent-minded.
Tao Wan looked calm and expressionless, but he was very disdainful of Hu Wenshan's teaching. A teacher who only knew the basics of Chinese art and had no achievements in artistic expression actually suppressed the original owner's score because the original owner's work wasn't artistic. It was really ironic.
But if Hu Wenshan's artistic expression was high enough, he wouldn't be a teacher here. He would be a master whose work was comparable to a villa.
Artistic expression mainly depended on talent and inspiration. It was very difficult to reach a certain level with hard work.
After one and a half hours of class, Hu Wenshan couldn't help but glance at Tao Wan when he was packing his things. He deliberately slowed down his movements and anxiously waited for Tao Wan to question him.
Tao Wan had already packed his things, but if Hu Wenshan didn't leave the classroom, the students couldn't leave first. So he sat and waited for Hu Wenshan to leave.
Hu Wenshan spent a lot more time packing his things than usual. Seeing that Tao Wan didn't intend to question him, he could only reluctantly leave the classroom with his art box.
Seeing that Tao Wan stood up and was about to leave, Xu Shaoyan immediately called out to him in a low voice, "Qing Yu, let's go together. I want to talk to you about lending you money."
"Thank you for your kindness, but I didn't ask you to lend me money. You don't have to take the initiative to lend me money." Tao Wan didn't even look at him and directly walked out.
"I know you don't want to ask, and I know you really need money now. You don't have to be polite with me, really." Xu Shaoyan carried his art box and followed him.
Tao Wan walked to the corridor, stopped and turned around to look at him. He said seriously, "I didn't take the initiative to ask you to lend me money. Is it because I didn't satisfy your vanity? After all, you used to ask me to lend you money, and you lost a lot of your self-esteem with me. You know I'm in need of money now, and you think it's a good opportunity to get your self-esteem back, so you have to lend me money. Am I right? "
Tao Wan completely said Xu Shaoyan's inner thoughts, not a single word wrong. Being exposed in front of other students, Xu Shaoyan felt very embarrassed, but he still said innocently, "What are you talking about? Why do you have to think of me in such a bad way? I think we used to be friends, so I really want to help you. "
"Then I'm sorry," Tao Wan said, "Whether it's your self-esteem or your vanity, I don't want you to be satisfied with me. So no matter what you say, I won't accept your help. I'm just so narrow-minded. Are you angry with me for being so narrow-minded? If so, that's the effect I want. "
