Outside the floor-to-ceiling windows of the apartment, the neon lights turned into hazy spots in the rain.
Sister Liao was wearing a nightgown, sinking into the sofa. The wine in the crystal glass beside her reflected the software page on the computer screen.
She looked at the computer screen from time to time, waiting for the video to start.
The moment the icon vibrated, she caught a glimpse of the note "Teacher Jiang" jumping on the screen and clicked the mouse with her fingertips.
Then sit facing the camera.
"Sister Liao, can you see me?" Jiang Zhe's voice and video interface appeared one after another.
The background of his video is a study.
"Yes. Can you see me clearly?" Sister Liao clearly remembered the furnishings and items inside, and it seemed that nothing had changed since the last time they met.
"I can see it." Jiang Zhe said, "It's a little thin there, no, it's a little dark."
Sister Liao wanted to laugh, so she turned the camera to the night view of the city outside the window. "It's raining in the provincial capital."
"Are you drinking?" Jiang Zhe saw the wine glass through the video.
"I'm drinking the bottle of champagne you gave me." She looked at Jiang Zhe's eyes that suddenly lit up on the screen, and suddenly remembered the first time she met him. This young student had the same look in his eyes when he saw her, so hot that it made people want to step back, but they couldn't help but get closer.
"Why is your hair wet?" She took a sip of wine and calmly found the right angle. Against the background of the V-neck silk nightgown, her shoulders and collarbones were faintly visible. This was an angle she carefully calculated, charming enough but not frivolous.
Jiang Zhe's Adam's apple rolled noticeably: "I just went to take a shower. You look so beautiful today."
Liao Qingyi's fingertips unconsciously stroked the rim of the cup and she deliberately changed the subject.
"Have you made your choice?"
Jiang Zhe said, "I'm still thinking about it. Sit back a little and let me take a look at you."
"The resources and connections of a top university can save you ten years of detours." Sister Liao said the same old words, adjusting her seat naturally. Her calves overlapped and separated under her silk skirt, and this action made Jiang Zhe's eyes widen on the other end of the video.
Sister Liao chuckled. Her usual impeccable words and mature demeanor at work were gone. If someone familiar with her saw this scene, they would be surprised that Director Liao actually had this side.
“If all goes well, three years later…” She tucked her long hair behind her ears, revealing her pearl earrings. “Wait until you get your doctorate degree and return home, maybe…” The last syllable gradually faded away.
What would happen after three years? The French window reflected her expression at the moment, a gentleness that was a mixture of doting and restraint, which even she herself felt unfamiliar with.
"Wait a minute..." Jiang Zhe said suddenly.
"What's wrong?" asked Sister Liao.
A few seconds later it rang, and she saw Zhang's newly completed sketch on the video screen.
The strokes are concise but vividly depict the silhouette of a woman in a nightgown under the dim light.
Sister Liao looked at the sketch for a while, then tilted her head back and drank the remaining wine in the glass, a drop of liquid slid across the corner of her lips.
She never dared to face it, and recommended Jiang Zhe to Columbia University for many reasons. She wanted to see him soar, and she also hoped that the distance across the ocean would create some opportunities, or dilute this inappropriate heartbeat.
"Teacher Jiang, your painting skills are getting better and better..."
Hearing certain words, Jiang Zhe smiled happily.
The sound of rain is getting heavier, the lights and private words...
the next day.
Jiang Zhe came out of the art building with a backpack on his back. The afternoon sun was a bit dazzling. He put on sunglasses.
The phone continued to vibrate in my trouser pocket.
I took it out and took a look, and it was a number with no remarks.
Since the second work was auctioned for over a million, he has been flooded with calls. So he simply doesn't answer them.
On the way to the parking lot, he often met students from the same school. When he met someone he knew and they greeted him, Jiang Zhe would respond one by one. If the other party took the initiative to greet him and he couldn't pronounce their name, he would just smile and nod in response.
As the news of his postgraduate entrance examination and the auction of his works spread around the school, he once again became one of the topics of conversation.
He saw from afar Lan Xin and two girls walking towards them, talking and laughing.
"Jiang Zhe!" The girl who was majoring in Chinese painting saw Jiang Zhe looking at her and the others. She slowed down her pace and nudged her classmate Lan Xin with her elbow.
Lan Xin had already seen Jiang Zhe, but she didn't dare to show it too actively. After receiving a signal from her classmates, she immediately walked towards Jiang Zhe, her ponytail bouncing happily with her steps.
Another girl followed her two companions, holding a sketchpad.
"Congratulations. We all heard that you sold another painting." said Lan Xin's roommate.
"I heard that you are going to the United States?" Lan Xin also said congratulations, and then asked about another thing.
Jiang Zhe politely responded with a thank you, and then said, "It hasn't been decided yet."
Lan Xin's classmate said, "I heard that Columbia University's art history research project only recruits a few people worldwide each year. This opportunity is so rare, why are you still considering it?"
Jiang Zhe quickly changed the subject: "I need to think about it. How are you guys?"
After a few words of small talk, both parties had something to do, so they said goodbye politely.
"Jiang Zhe is so lucky. He can choose whatever he wants and doesn't have to worry about the cost." The three girls chatted as they walked.
"I have no chance of passing the postgraduate entrance examination. I don't know if I will have another chance in the future." A girl said a little frustrated.
Lan Xin became silent. She was too embarrassed to discuss some issues with Jiang Zhe in front of her classmates, so she could only plan to find another opportunity.
Jiang Zhe got in the car, put down his backpack, unscrewed the lid of the water cup, and took a sip of tea.
Looking at the watch, it seems that it will take some time for Chen Yan to join us.
He looked out of the car boredly, and the conversation that had taken place in Professor Qin's office came to his mind.
"Take a look at this." Professor Qin handed a handwritten document to Jiang Zhe.
Jiang Zhe flipped through it silently.
This is a handwritten note by Professor Qin. From the changes in the color of the paper and the ink as well as the text content, it can be seen that this note has been compiled several years ago. It contains the growth experiences of well-known painters in the domestic art circle. Some of them are successful, and some are failed. Behind each case, there are comments and summaries by Professor Qin. Some of the content is sharp and even utilitarian. Looking at this document, you can see that Professor Qin is definitely not a professor who only studies academic subjects.
“Art is not a closed-door study.” Professor Qin stood up and walked to the window. April catkins came in with the wind. “If you want to grow, you need nutrients, environment, and platform—such as Columbia University’s East Asian Art Database, the Restoration Lab, and the art market.”
He turned and looked at Jiang Zhe, with a young man's light dancing in his eyes.
-
Jiang Zhe turned on the car music, played Xu Wei's music, then adjusted the seat back and leaned back comfortably.
The walnut trim of the BMW SUV glows warmly in the afternoon light, and the fragrance of tea slowly emanates from the cup holder next to the handbrake.
Just as Jiang Zheren's thoughts were wandering, his cell phone rang again.
He frowned, picked up the phone, and saw that it was Wang Zhen's number.
"Great painter, are you busy now?" Wang Zhen's voice came.
"You're so polite? I'm fine now."
"Your worth is different now~" In the background of Wang Zhen's voice, there was the sound of a door closing.
"We just received a collector from Singapore. This gentleman came to the gallery and after the greetings, he asked directly if we had any works by Mr. Jiang."
Jiang Zhe held the phone between his shoulders and regained a comfortable position: "How did you answer?" Knowing those valuations...
"Of course there is, but it has been bought." After joking, Wang Zhen also asked about Jiang Zhe's choice of postgraduate studies.
Hearing that Jiang Zhe was still considering it, she persuaded him again: "I heard a senior practitioner say something in New York. In the art market, academic pedigree is as good as gold."
"Think about the painters in China, why they value the master-disciple relationship, and then think about the masters' experience studying abroad."
She waited for a while before continuing, "I know you don't want to stay abroad. When you come back with a doctorate from a prestigious university, you will find that your work will have better value conversion." She suddenly chuckled, "As for your girlfriend, she will also benefit from your fame."
-
Not long after Jiang Zhe finished talking to Wang Zhen, he saw Chen Yan coming out of the car door.
"Have you been waiting for a long time?" Chen Yan opened the car door, letting in a gust of warm air. She put her shoulder bag in the back seat, and her silk scarf swept across Jiang Zhe with the scent of orange blossom.
Jiang Zhe said: "Where do you want to eat?"
"I'll listen to you." Chen Yan said. "I've decided to follow your advice and go to the gallery for internship first. My parents also support it." Jiang Zhe said: "No change?"
"I won't change it."
"Okay, I'll call Wang Zhen and arrange it right away." Jiang Zhe picked up the phone.
……
Jiang Zhe opened the window of the study and looked into the distance.
Today, Chen Yan got her first job after graduation with just one phone call. Chen Yan was very happy to have decided on her career path.
This job is not as good as the civil service exam or the career path, but with Wang Zhen's care, it should be better than working in an ordinary company.
Now, I have to make a choice myself.
He returned to his desk and read the three notifications over and over again.
Florence Academy of Fine Arts, Ecole des Beaux-Arts, Columbia University. The letter of appointment was being held down by a paperweight, with the corners curled up slightly.
Scenes of myself going to three schools appeared before my eyes.
The best first impression is Florence, the Uffizi, the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore, the dome, the sculptures, the Renaissance frescoes, and the cobblestone roads that have been walked by countless masters...
Jiang Zhe opened a sketchbook and stopped at a landscape sketch.
This was created when I was walking with Jacques along the Seine. Jacques said at the time: "Here, tradition is meant to be broken."
The heritage of that academy and that city is so rich, so rich that it seems a bit heavy.
Finally, he looked at the notice from Columbia University.
Thinking back to the conversation with Professor Kerry again...
When he heard the familiar system prompt tone, Jiang Zhe still found it difficult to make a choice.
He sighed and opened the system page.
After receiving notifications from the three schools, he checked the system's challenge tasks several times.
However, the task did not respond at all. The notification had been received and the task should have been completed.
It is detected that you are facing an important decision. Please be reminded that this choice is related to your development direction. Please choose carefully.
Once you have made your selection and replied to the school to confirm, you can submit the task.
Your choice will randomly add the following special art inheritance to the mission rewards.
1. Advanced Classicism (Activate the "Master's Brushstroke" talent.
2. Unlock the "Vanguard Thought" module.
3. Academic system construction (opening new branches)
It turned out to be the case.
Jiang Zhe understood why he couldn't submit the task.
The rewards prompted by the system look very special. I don’t know what the actual content is, but just looking at the names, they seem to be very good.
It would be great if I could get them all.
Jiang Zhe didn't want to hesitate any longer and made a choice finally.
After a while, he informed his parents of his choice over the phone.
Jiang Yi and his wife both supported it.
Jiang Zhe edited the reply content according to Columbia University's notification requirements.
After confirming repeatedly, look at the screen, take a deep breath, and then click Send.
Sent successfully.
After making the choice, the pressure was released, and Jiang Zhe was left with only joy and longing for the future.
After he completed the formalities, he was eager to share his joy with others.
Call your parents, call Chen Yan, call Wang Zhen, Sister Liao, and call all the friends who care about you...
After receiving congratulations from everyone, he calmed down. He thought Professor Kerry should still be working, so he called his number.
Professor Kerry quickly answered the phone.
“I bet you’ll call me today.
Because I had a lot of things today, I drank two cups of coffee, but I was waiting for your call. Tell me, your choice. "
Jiang Zhe stated his choice.
"I finally heard the good news. Congratulations.
One of my Chinese students five years ago is now an excellent curator. You are better than him. Professor Kerry smiled happily: "I look forward to your coming to New York as soon as possible."
……
The moment the phone screen went dark, a system notification sounded:
The conditions for completing the challenge task are met and the task can be submitted.
Jiang Zhe finally got the long-awaited reward.
He didn't rush to open the system.
Go wash up first, then lie on the bed, open the system, and find the challenge task in the task page.
The moment he pressed the confirmation button to submit the task, the task prompt came as expected:
You got accepted to three schools and made an important choice.
The system comprehensively considers your efforts and results in completing the task, and evaluates your completion of the task as - Excellent.
Based on the evaluation, the system gives the following rewards
1. Honor value increases by 10% of the current level, unlocking more network nodes that gain honor value.
2. Reward funds. When you go to study in a foreign country, you may need a comfortable living environment and creative space. The amount of the reward funds will be displayed when you go to study in New York.
After looking at the first two rewards, Jiang Zhe found it funny that the amount of the prize money was actually starting to change this time.
Anyway, we will know when the time comes, and the bonus is inevitable.
He quickly turned his attention to the last reward.
Reward 3: Construction of academic system (opening new branches).
Jiang Zhe saw that after winning this award, he felt a little regretful that he failed to get the first two awards, especially the Master's Stroke.
He comforted himself that the system's rewards were endless and there would be more opportunities in the future.
Now, he is looking forward to what academic branches will be opened.
Click to receive the reward. I didn't feel much about the first two rewards.
After accepting the third reward, Jiang Zhe saw an additional academic page in the system.
The page shows the academic categories of his current knowledge. It also indicates that new branches have been added: art history research (theory) and art appraisal and restoration research.
In the future, there will be more content for learning accumulation and rewards. (End of this chapter)
