Chapter 47: Jiang Tingting

Wan'er was in the process of exercising and studying at the same time, and ushered in her first competition since she went to college.

Hoxton School of Design is a world-renowned school, and many excellent designers have come out of this school, so it has the reputation of "designer's paradise".

For many people with design dreams, Hoxton School of Design is the place they yearn for. It is said that it is extremely desirable, then it must be because the conditions for its enrollment are extremely harsh.

Not to mention the family background, the grades must be in place, and the number of students enrolled in Hoston every year is not large, so the admission score is ridiculously high every year. In addition to the grade requirements, Hoxton's tuition fees are not affordable for the average person.

Wan'er was able to enter this school because of her money from her part-time job day and night and the scholarship she won over the years to barely make up enough tuition for a year there. But fortunately, although Hoxton's tuition is very expensive, the scholarship is also very generous, and for people with excellent grades like Wan'er, it is harmless.

In such a school where design masters gather, the annual design competition is very important. At this time, the school will invite some powerful seniors in the design industry to be judges for the contestants, so this opportunity is a once-in-a-lifetime learning opportunity for students like them.

In addition to receiving a high prize of 500,000 yuan, the winner of the competition will also have the opportunity to meet with well-known designers. And it just so happened that this year's school invited Hawthorne, one of Wan'er's favorite designers. It can be said that a large part of the reason why Wan'er chose to embark on the road of interior design is because of this Hawthorne teacher.

That was when Wan'er was in elementary school, and she often went to the small bookstore next to the school with Lin Chen to read books after school. The owner of the bookstore also knew that the two of them were orphans, so he allowed the two of them to stay in the bookstore and read books for free.

At that time, Wan'er liked to draw very much, and often looked for some books about painting in the bookstore. Although no one taught, through those books in the bookstore, Wan'er gradually understood more things.

It wasn't until she was eight years old that the little orphanage was funded by Gu's, and Wan'er and Lin Chen also had their first pocket money. Although it was not much, it was already a huge amount of money for them at that time. And Wan'er thought about it for a long time, so she took the money and bought a box of 12-color colored pencils and a stack of sulfuric acid paper in the bookstore, which was the kind of transparent paper that was used to copy. It was the first drawing tool she had since she was so old, and it made her so happy.

Since then, every time she goes to the bookstore, she will pick up some books, find some beautiful illustrations, and slowly copy them little by little according to the lines on them. With Wan'er's continuous persistence, her painting skills have gradually improved, but at that time, she just felt that the process of painting could make her happy.

It wasn't until one day that she saw a book written by Mr. Hawthorne in a new batch of books that she had just entered the bookstore, and she knew for the first time that there was a profession called "designer" in this world.

In that book, she saw what it meant to be a "one-of-a-kind design." Each design in the book has its own soul, and the reason why it is called unique is that Mr. Hawthorne can always find the connection between the house and the people, and design a house for them that belongs only to them.

It is also because of such a unique design that Wan'er unconsciously found out all the books about Teacher Hawthorne, but unfortunately, there are not too many books with such connotations in the bookstore next to the elementary school, so Wan'er only found two books in the entire bookstore. And these two thin books are still a little difficult for Wan'er, who is still in elementary school, to understand, but it doesn't prevent her from liking it.

The kind-hearted bookstore owner saw that every time she came, she went straight to the two books, so she simply said that she would give them to Wan'er, after all, they were only two books that no one reads. Wan'er didn't have no hypocrisy, she just happily took the book back to the orphanage, if it was in normal times, Wan'er might still refuse, but the temptation of those two books was still too great for her.

She looked at it over and over again, and she didn't feel bored in her heart, but she felt a different feeling in her heart every time she watched it. By the time she graduated from elementary school, she had turned over those two books more than a hundred times, and the original brand new books had become a little wrinkled due to frequent reading.

As Wan'er grew older, her love for design grew. The previous small bookstore could no longer satisfy her desire and need for design, so she took Lin Chen everywhere to go to other bookstores and libraries, just to find more related books. Although Lin Chen couldn't understand why she liked her so much, he was still willing to accompany her to various libraries.

In this way, Wan'er was admitted to the Houston School of Design with full of enthusiasm, and she thought that she would only be able to meet the teacher named Hawthorne when she achieved something. But who knew that she was so lucky, in the year she first entered the school, Teacher Hawthorne became a guest of the competition. After knowing the news, she was so excited that she didn't close her eyes all night, and she could get the guidance of Teacher Hawthorne, such a picture Wan'er felt excited just thinking about it.

Therefore, she must squeeze into the final of this competition. Only by successfully reaching the finals can she get the guidance of Mr. Hawthorne. With this goal in mind, Wan'er has been working hard for more than a month.

The day before yesterday was the deadline for the submission of works in the preliminary round, and she kept revising it several times before submitting it at the final deadline. Wan'er is extremely serious about every work, whether it is her usual homework or some other competitions.

The results of the preliminary round will come out at twelve o'clock at noon today, and as soon as Wan'er walked out of the classroom after class, she heard the surrounding students discussing the topic of who had passed and who had not passed. At this time, Ji Nuan, who was standing at the door of the classroom waiting for her to get out of class, also came over: "Wan'er Wan'er, can you quickly check if you have passed the preliminary round?"

"Is it out so soon?" Wan'er didn't expect the results to come out so quickly, "Wouldn't it be better to wait for the school to announce it in a few days?"

"Oh, I'm curious. Don't you want to know the result earlier?" Ji Nuan looked at the girl in front of her excitedly, hoping to see emotions other than calm on her face, but to no avail. Without waiting for Wan'er to speak, Ji Nuan said again: "I can't say I don't want to, I know you are very confident in your own design, but let's keep a low profile, so as to give this preliminary competition a little face." Come on, come on, check it out!"

couldn't stand her best friend's death gaze, so Wan'er had no choice but to unlock the mobile phone in her hand, and then found the entrance point of the query. A few clicks of her slender fingers on the small phone popped up the page where the results were announced, and before she could read the words on it, the phone disappeared from her phone.

Then, Ji Nuan's girl's scream sounded next to her: "Ah!"
