BXBX NOVEL Chapter 126 - 123 Farewell_i
Qin Continent Art Academy.
Summer vacation is nearing, and in one of the large classrooms of the sophomore composition department, mentors are busy scrutinizing students’ annual assessment pieces.
At this moment.
A commotion suddenly echoed from the entrance: “I’ve heard that Qin Art is teeming with talents. Director Shi shouldn’t mind our group of East Art professors coming over to your composition department to learn a few things…”
East Art?
The teachers in the large office lifted their heads simultaneously upon hearing the voice at the door, turning their attention to the entrance.
The full name of East Art is East Qin Art Academy.
It is the second top ranking art school in Qin Continent.
It’s said that originally, East Qin Art Academy also wanted to be known as “Qin Art”.
But, it was not feasible.
Qin Continent Art Academy was stronger, hence the title “Qin Art” belonged to Qin Continent Art Academy.
East Qin Art Academy could only be abbreviated as “East Art”.
East Art held a long-standing grudge about this and has been eyeing the position of elder brother Qin Art for many years.
The mentors were aware that East Art intended to visit Qin Art today.
But they hadn’t expected that the composition department of East Art would actually show up halfway through, an unexpected hint of confrontational intent.
“Everyone.”
The leading figure in Qin Art’s composition department, Shi Cheng, and the professors, were ushering the team of East Art composition professors into the room.
Once inside, Shi Cheng announced loudly, “Ladies and Gentlemen, please welcome Professor Zhang Wenwu and the East Art composition teaching team to visit our composition department!”
Clatter, clatter.
The professors on Qin Art’s side start clapping.
“You are all too kind.”
East Art’ s Professor Zhang Wenwu laughed,” Being a century- old institution, Qin Art has produced an abundance of talent. Our East Art’s visit today is purely to learn from your experience.”
Everyone applauded again, all the while thinking: I don’t believe a word you’re saying!
“Please, continue with your reviews.”
Shi Cheng gestured for calm, then addressed Zhang Wenwu and others, “Over here, please. You can sit down and have some tea first.”
“Thank you.”
After Professor Zhang Wenwu and other professors from East Art sat down, they began to chat with Shi Cheng: “Are you reviewing your students’ annual assessment pieces today?”
Shi Cheng nodded.
Zhang Wenwu laughed, “We finished reviewing our students’ work yesterday. In fact, we invited the leader of the Dazzling Silver Glow Composition department over for a while. It turned out that Dazzling Silver Glow signed one of our sophomore students on the spot, even asking the student to come in on the weekends to work.”
Shi Cheng’s eyelids twitched.
He had been long time rivals with Zhang Wenwu and they understood each other very well. The moment they interacted, he could guess the other party’s intention.
No wonder Zhang Wenwu didn’t follow the rest of their school team and insisted on visiting Qin Art’s composition department.
Turned out, he came to brag in front of him.
Inevitably.
Being contracted with one of the top three companies in Qin Continent during sophomore year and also having the benefit of working on the weekends was not something an ordinary person could do.
“By the way.”
“Did you also invite someone from the entertainment companies?” Zhang Wenwu asked, feigning concern.
Shi Cheng nodded, “We invited the composition department of Starlight.”
Zhang Wenwu sighed, “Qin Art’s influence is indeed powerful.”
Shi Cheng shrugged, “The feeling is mutual.”
Zhang Wenwu laughed, “I wonder if I could listen to some of Qin Art’s outstanding student works later, just to see how big the gap is between our East Art and your esteemed academy.”
Shi Cheng smiled, “Of course you can.”
He summoned an assistant, in front of Zhang Wenwu, and instructed the assistant to collect the top students’ work from the reviewing teachers and bring them over.
After the assistant had left.
Zhang Wenwu assumed a more comfortable position and spoke, “Instead of sitting idly, I thought I might share with you the best piece from our sophomore composition department. After Dazzling Silver Glow listened to this song, they signed the student on the spot. Would you like to listen to it?”
Shi Cheng responded, “I’d be delighted to.”
He was intrigued to find out, what kind of work could make Dazzling Silver Glow sign someone on the spot.
Zhang Wenwu sent the song to Shi Cheng and the composition professors of Qin Art.
They all put on headphones to listen to the song.
Only halfway through the song, the expressions on Shi Cheng and others’ faces had changed.
Zhang Wenwu tasted his tea with hidden pride gleaming in his eyes.
Exactly!
He had come today to stir up Qin Art.
Why should Qin Art receive such high educational resources every year?
East Art’s overall abilities were not much less than those of Qin Art!
After listening to the entire song, Shi Cheng fell silent.
The professors of Qin Art behind Shi Cheng were stunned.
Was this a piece composed by a sophomore student?
“What do you think?” Zhang Wenwu asked, appearing humble and eager to learn.
Shi Cheng’s eyelids twitched, he swallowed his pride and said, “Impressive, truly a commendable masterpiece.”
Zhang Wenwu looked at the professors of Qin Art.
The professors of Qin Art could only follow suit and say, “Indeed it’s a good song.”
As professionals, they couldn’t deny that East Art’s song was of commendable quality. But considering the competitive atmosphere between the two schools, they felt somewhat uneasy.
“Ha, ha.”
Zhang Wenwu and professors of East Art laughed, “Professor Shi, why not guess who composed this song?”
Shi Cheng was taken aback, “Do I know this person?”
Zhang Wenwu answered, “Zou Yu, does it ring any bells?”
Shi Cheng’s face darkened instantly.
He knew about Zou Yu.
Zou Yu’s father, Zou Wen, was a widely acclaimed Maestro in Qin Continent, a member of a prestigious musical family!
As the saying goes, “Like father, like son”.
Under his father’s guidance, Zou Yu was lauded as a composition prodigy since his childhood. When he was a high school senior, he composed popular pieces.
Later on.
Zou Yu topped the National Higher Education Entrance Examination two years ago, and the news of his talent shook the industry. All institutions in Qin Continent extended an olive branch to Zou Yu.
