When I arrived on the second floor, I was greeted by two people.

One of them, a middle-aged man in his thirties and forties, perhaps a school teacher, or a counselor, said with a smile, "Shiraba, welcome back to school." There's still half an hour before the speech starts, so you go take a break, have a cup of tea, and make up some makeup. ”

Compared with the politeness of the middle-aged man, the young man next to him did not hide the disgust in his eyes at all.

That expression seemed to say, you actually have a face, and you don't have any self-knowledge at all.

Bai Ye was not affected, so he naturally stretched out his hand, shook hands with the middle-aged man, and responded: "Teacher, I'm sorry for you." How to arrange it, I will listen to it. ”

Hey!

Hearing this, not only the middle-aged man, but even the young man next to Bai Ye couldn't help but look at Bai Ye twice. The look of surprise on the faces of the two was overflowing. Is this still the sharp, unruly white leaf?

Frustration can really make people grow!

In the heart of the middle-aged man, such a thought flashed, and the smile on his face was a little more restrained.

He beckoned, led Bai Ye and the young man, and walked into the lounge.

Ten square meters of space, with simple sofas and chairs.

On the table, tea, snacks, and dried fruits are placed.

After beckoning Bai Ye to sit down, the middle-aged man took the young man away. In fact, I didn't go far, and there was another door in the lounge that led straight to the lecture hall.

Middle-aged people and young people enter the classroom and adjust the audio and camera equipment.

The door was not closed tightly, revealing a gap, and Bai Ye also saw the entire lecture hall, except for a few people who were setting up the scene, there was no one else, and it seemed empty.

It would be embarrassing if there was no one listening to the lecture when the lecture started for a while.

Bai Ye was interested, turned his head and asked, "Do you think someone will come later?"

The young man next to "...... should have" hesitated and chose to tell the truth: "Even if there is no one, there should be arrangements on the part of the school." ”

Bai Ye nodded in understanding.

Well, it's normal.

He stopped talking and sat quietly.

It was the young man who hesitated for a moment, and suddenly said, "Bai Ye, you have changed." ”

Bai Ye raised his head and asked rhetorically: "Have you become handsome, or have you become ugly?"

“……”

The young man was stunned for a moment, and his tone became complicated: "It's like a different person." ”

"Really?"

Bai Ye remained silent: "Then do you think this is a good thing or a bad thing?"

The young man was silent, he did not know the answer.

Maybe this is a good thing, but the changes in Bai Ye are so strange to him.

I don't know why, he felt inexplicably sad in his heart......

Bai Ye was vaguely aware of the young man's mood changes. His heart moved, his eyes turned, and then he spoke: "The previous white leaf is dead. ”

Dropping these words, he closed his eyes and lay down on the couch.

Anyway, what he said was the truth, and as for how the young man understood it, it was the other party's business.

The young man opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't say it.

The lounge fell silent for a while, and after a long time, someone pushed the door in and reminded, "The speech is about to start, Bai Ye, you can enter." ”

Bai Ye nodded, stood up, sulked, and strode towards the lecture hall.

As soon as he entered the door, he found that he didn't know when, but there were many people sitting in the classroom. Sitting in the first two rows, there are about twenty or thirty of them.

There is no doubt that these are basically tories.

It's like a TV station, when recording a program, specially arranged extras.

The reason why Bai Ye dared to be so sure was mainly because he found that after he appeared, these people sitting in the front row had numb expressions and bored looks, and they didn't even look up at him.

It wasn't until he stood on the podium that someone put down their phones.

At first glance, there is a discussion and buzzing below.

"It's really a white leaf. ”

"I thought he wouldn't come, so he ended up on someone else. ”

"I didn't expect that he really came, aren't you afraid of being scolded and embarrassed?"

"Infamy is also a name...... It's called hype, you know?"

"That's right, he himself started by hype, and he was a genius who was hyped. Later, something happened and disappeared for more than half a year, and now I must seek a comeback...... Hehe, I just don't know, who is so stupid and will be fooled. ”

"There are so many liars in the art world, there shouldn't be enough fools. He has been exposed, and if the fool's brain enters the water again, it will be impossible for him to fall into the pit again. ”

"Yes, yes. ”

A bunch of people are either whispering or discussing openly.

While exchanging heads, some people also took the opportunity to look at Bai Ye and observe his face. It's just that to the disappointment of some people, Bai Ye's expression has not changed at all in the midst of criticism.

Hmph, it's so thick-skinned.

"Everyone, be quiet. ”

At the same time, the middle-aged man next to him picked up a microphone and introduced: "Today I am very honored to invite the gold medal winner of the 6th Rising Star Art Competition, the first prize of the youth group of the 13th National Art Exhibition, and Mr. Bai Ye, who has the reputation of a cutting-edge force in the art world and is known as a genius artist......"

The words of beauty are also a bit golden.

It's just that the group of people below pouted one after another, with a little disdain.

"Now I would like to invite Mr. Bai Ye to bring you a wonderful speech, and everyone applauds and welcomes. ”

The middle-aged man put down the microphone and took the lead in clapping his hands to guide.

It's a pity that no one at the bottom buys it, and they don't even bother to pretend.

For a moment, only the lonely applause of the middle-aged people echoed in the empty classroom. Bai Ye didn't feel anything, but the middle-aged man was embarrassed by himself, and felt that he couldn't get off the stage, and his face was naturally gloomy.

Bastard stuff......

The middle-aged man secretly hated and glared at everyone below.

The student council is arrogant and uncooperative. All of them were withdrawn, and a group of people who knew how to cooperate came to power.

"Thank you, teacher. ”

Bai Ye spoke, which can be regarded as helping the middle-aged man to break the siege. He stood on the podium and was ready to speak. Outside the classroom, there was a commotion. Immediately afterwards, a group of people poured in from the door, in twos and threes, scattered and sat down.

The lecture hall is not small and can accommodate several hundred people.

It turned out that there were only twenty or thirty people sitting, and the classroom seemed relatively empty.

But now, at once, a large number of people poured in, and they were scattered and sat down in different positions. There are still many vacant seats, but there are almost no seats in each row. At first glance, it seemed as if the entire classroom was full.

What's going on?

A group of people in the front row were stunned, no wonder in addition to them, the school also arranged other nurseries?

Bai Ye also had similar questions, and couldn't help but look at the middle-aged man next to him. Surprisingly, the middle-aged man also understood Bai Ye's eyes, and he shook his head blankly, indicating that he didn't know either.

Not arranged......

That's voluntarily.

Bai Ye was a little strange, and then a little relieved. Maybe these people just want to see jokes.

He smiled, didn't care, and continued to speak: "Thank you school, thank you teacher, for giving me this opportunity." It is an honor to stand on this podium and share with you some of my experiences. ”

"What is the experience, the experience of failure?"

There was an abrupt voice from below.

Everyone was stunned, and then there was an uproar.

Tear down the stage in person.

It's exciting.

I like it......

Many people were inexplicably excited and entered the theater mode.

“…… Don't be impulsive. ”

On the edge of the podium, the young man's face turned pale, and he unconsciously clenched his fists. He was angry in his heart, hating that he couldn't strangle the troublemaker, but he knew better that in this place...... The ivory tower of the art world.

Being sprayed and provoked can be resolved wittily, and it must not be dealt with roughly.

Endure the calm for a while.

The question is......

Why should I put up with it?

Bai Ye raised his eyebrows and looked around, "Who was talking just now?"

The classroom fell silent, and no one responded.

Bai Ye smiled and sneered: "Hide your head and show your tail, villain's behavior." I am disappointed that there is such a villain in my alma mater. ”

“…… I said it. ”

In the corner of the front row, someone suddenly rose.

A male student, righteously, stood up and greeted everyone's attention.
