The auditorium is still relatively large, with more than 500 seats, which can accommodate even more people.

The students of the art academy, but more than 100 people, only filled less than one-third of the seats in the front.

Several teachers sat in the front row.

At the very front of the auditorium is a wooden platform with several steps on either side of the platform to walk up to the platform.

On the high platform, there is no decoration, and it looks unpretentious.

At the end of the semester, after the ceremony, it will be a holiday, and many students from other places can also go home. Therefore, most students, no matter what their grades are, no matter how well they have practiced this semester, are a little excited.

Not only because you can have a good rest for a few days during the holidays, but also because you can do whatever you want during the holidays, and because you can go home to see your relatives during the holidays, and you can have a lively New Year with your relatives.

All the students relaxed, got on good terms, sat in adjacent seats, and talked.

Although there are some students who are worried about their grades, most students are still full of expectations at this time.

Regardless of the grades of entering the art academy. After all, it is obvious to all how difficult the entrance examination of the academy is and how fierce the competition is.

These students, no matter what their grades are in the art academy, in their own families, in their hometowns, they are all proud figures.

After studying in the painting academy for a semester, I not only saw the prosperity of Junyang, but also the painting level of most people has improved to varying degrees.

Finally, Dean He Pingyong entered the auditorium with a steady pace.

Wu Liancheng stepped onto the podium.

"Students, it's about to be a vacation. Are you happy?"

"Happy ......" many students echoed loudly.

"This semester, the students are working hard. Compare efforts. So they have achieved relatively good results. This semester, not a single student received a bad grade. Wu Liancheng said loudly.

After listening to Wu Liancheng's words, many students relaxed.

As long as you don't get bad grades, even if it's a middle, middle and Canadian grade, it's reasonable, and you can give an explanation to your family.

Wu Liancheng continued, "This semester, there are two other things that are very surprising. One is Yuan Yuan, who successfully stepped into the realm of painters. The other is Zhang Xiangfeng. Successfully stepped into the realm of painting apprenticeship. ”

Listening to Wu Liancheng's words, the students immediately burst into discussions.

Everyone knew about Yuan Yuan's entry into the realm of painters, so they had nothing to be surprised about.

However, Zhang Xiangfeng was silent and stepped into the realm of painting apprentices. It surprised many people.

Especially those students who have some friendship with Zhang Xiangfeng on weekdays. They all looked at Zhang Xiangfeng.

Zhang Xiangfeng also looked at the students who looked at him with a little smile and a little satisfaction.

Qi Xiaozhi's hand clenched tightly.

He didn't expect that there would be someone better than him.

Zhang Xiangfeng. Naturally, he knew it. When sketching, they ate barbecue together and drank wine together.

He remembered that Zhang Xiangfeng was only fifteen years old, and he stepped into the realm of painting apprentices. Years before him.

Qi Xiaozhi's frustration in his heart is simply indescribable.

Originally, a Yuan Yuan was like a boulder in front of him. It already made him very unhappy, but he didn't expect Zhang Xiangfeng to pop up again.

"Quiet, quiet. Students, please be quiet. Wu Liancheng waved his hand and said, "They have achieved such an achievement, of course, because of their talent, but more importantly, because of their hard work. ”

"As far as I know, Yuan Yuan's time schedule is full, and in addition to eating, he is cultivating every day. Zhang Xiangfeng also worked very hard to study painting. Therefore, learn from them. Perhaps, the next person to step into the realm of painting will be you. ”

After listening to Wu Liancheng's words, all the students began to sigh.

Stepping into the realm of painting apprenticeship seems like an unattainable dream for most students.

Most of the students here will study in the academy for nine years, but they will be kicked out of the academy because they have not stepped into the realm of apprenticeship.

After all, the lucky ones are still in the minority.

After nine years of study at the academy, they will leave the academy and return to the family, and then support the family affairs.

Live a life that may be dull, perhaps passionless, but peaceful.

If they are lucky enough to reach the realm of painting apprentices, they will be recommended by the dean to enter the Zhongpin Painting Academy in Qingyang, and then a new chapter in their lives will be opened.

However, most students have no chance of such a life.

At this time, those students looked at Yuan Yuan, and Zhang Xiangfeng's eyes were full of envy.

Yuan Yuan happened to be sitting with Zhang Xiangfeng. Therefore, Yuan Yuan couldn't distinguish these gazes, those were for him, and those were for Zhang Xiangfeng.

Wu Liancheng stopped and shouted loudly, "Students, please be quiet and ......"

The students fell silent.

Wu Liancheng continued, "This semester, we are going to present two encouragement awards. One is Zhang Xiangfeng and Qi Xiaozhi, whose grades in a semester have been summarized and obtained excellent and subtracted results. The academy will reward each of them with 300 spirit stones. ”

After listening to Wu Liancheng's words, the students began to talk about it again.

Three hundred spirit stones, although most students gritted their teeth and could take them out, they were also a lot of assets.

With these three hundred spirit stones, add some spirit stones, maybe you can buy a good set of brushes.

With these three hundred spirit stones, maybe the paper used in an academic year can be purchased.

Although it is not much, it is not bad for most students who are a little strapped for spirit stones.

Especially to the envy of the students, Zhang Xiangfeng actually won this award with Qi Xiaozhi.

Qi Xiaozhi was born in one of the three major families in Junyang, and has always been known for his outstanding talent.

It can be said that he received such an award as expected by most students.

But Zhang Xiangfeng surprised many people.

Zhang Xiangfeng has an outgoing personality, is also lively, and has a little friendship with many people.

Although the junior classmates also knew that Zhang Xiangfeng's grades were also good on weekdays, they didn't expect Zhang Xiangfeng to receive this award.

However, think about it, if Zhang Xiangfeng didn't work so hard and his grades weren't so good, how could he step into the realm of painting apprenticeship like this?

Thinking of this, most of the students showed a clear expression.

"Next, please Zhang Xiangfeng and Qi Xiaozhi come to the stage to receive the bonus. Ask the Dean to come up and give them the prize. Wu Liancheng continued.

Zhang Xiangfeng and Qi Xiaozhi walked onto the podium.

When Zhang Xiangfeng passed by some classmates, many people said, "Congratulations, congratulations." ”

Zhang Xiangfeng nodded again and again, with a smile on his face. Although this reward was unexpected, it was obvious that he was also very happy.

Qi Xiaozhi was a lot more flat, it was not the first time he had won this reward.

Because of the different positions, the two walked from the high platform to the high platform.

As they walked towards the center of the platform, their eyes collided before their bodies.

Zhang Xiangfeng congratulated his classmates a lot, and returned the gift to these people with a smile.

The expression on Qi Xiaozhi's face looked relatively calm. But his gaze is a little more complicated.

When he went out to sketch, when he was together, he didn't pay too much attention to this ugly young man, but paid more attention to Yuan Yuan. But, now, he must face up to the teenager.

This boy is five or six years younger than him, but he has already stepped into the realm of painting apprenticeship.

In the future, he will also become his own competitor.

Qi Xiaozhi secretly clenched his hands: I won't admit defeat. Whether it is Yuan Yuan or Zhang Xiangfeng, it will become a goal for me to surpass and get rid of in the future.

In an instant, Qi Xiaozhi seemed to have made up his mind, and then his expression became calmer, and his eyes were clear and shining.

He Pingyong also stepped onto the high platform. From the painting book, he took out two red cloth bags containing spirit stones, two red covers, and something like a certificate.

First, he handed a bag of spirit stones to Zhang Xiangfeng, then opened the certificate, showed it in front of his classmates and teachers, and then handed the certificate to Zhang Xiangfeng.

Zhang Xiangfeng took the certificate happily, bowed to He Pingyong, and looked at the certificate. There are some words written on it with red paint, "There is a student Zhang Xiangfeng, the results of the whole semester are summarized, the results are good or minor, and the certificate and the reward of three hundred spirit stones are issued for encouragement." Dean of Junyang Painting Academy: He Pingyong. ”

Then, He Pingyong gave Qi Xiao a bag of spirit stones and a certificate.

Qi Xiaozhi took the thing and gave He Pingyong a salute.

He Pingyong looked at Qi Xiaozhi and Zhang Xiangfeng, and stroked his beard, "You two are very talented." Work harder in the future. In the future, you may meet in other places, such as Qingyang Zhongpin Painting Academy, you must remember that you are all from Junyang Painting Academy. Your first cultivation time was spent at the Junyang Painting Academy. You are brothers from a painting academy. Support each other and help each other. ”

Qi Xiaozhi and Zhang Xiangfeng hurriedly nodded in response.

Wu Liancheng said loudly, "Everyone come to applause, celebrate and celebrate ......"

Suddenly, the auditorium burst into thunderous applause.

Qi Xiaozhi and Zhang Xiangfeng both bowed to the bottom of the high platform.

Under Wu Liancheng's gesture, they retreated from the high platform.

Wu Liancheng continued, "There is another student who has obtained excellent results from the summary of his grades throughout the semester. The Academy will reward this student with 500 spirit stones......"

Suddenly, the students below were even more excited. The atmosphere is also more enthusiastic.

Most people looked at Yuan Yuan because they knew that no one was eligible for this award except Yuan Yuan.

The middle and senior students, although they are not in class with Yuan Yuan, have heard a lot about Yuan Yuan's good grades in every class.

Yuan Yuan's expression was quite calm, but his heart was not so calm.

Under the eager gaze of so many classmates, it really made him a little cramped.

Wu Liancheng continued, "Next, please invite Yuan Yuan to come to the stage. (To be continued.) )
