"I don't care what the consequences will be, but rather than letting me accept it like a fool, it's better for me to withdraw openly and innocently."
This is Yu Xian’s inner thoughts and original intention.
After tearing up the painting, Yu Xian finally left with satisfaction, but it was just as Fei Yueming expected:
Originally it was just a small-level art exhibition, and the outcome could be decided by one senior director and one deputy senior director.
But because the work was torn up in public, the results that were originally reported changed, and in the end the school leaders were alarmed.
Principal Guangmei went abroad for a meeting, and the person in charge of daily work was Vice Principal Tong Lan.
Generally speaking, when the top leader is away, the second and third top leaders in the unit who take charge of the work do not actually want to make any achievements. Their only purpose is to seek stability.
As long as this period is normal and the same as before, don't let any setbacks occur.
Some problems inevitably occurred, which must be treated with caution, so Du Tonglan came to understand the situation in person.
Tong Lan is in her forties this year. She has the composure and competence of a political leader, but also the elegance and calmness of an artist. She has fair skin and faint crow's feet at the corners of her eyes. She looks like a beautiful middle-aged woman.
When Tong Lan appeared at the "crime scene", many people had already come here after hearing the news, including not only ordinary lecturers, but also professors with professional titles.
It is not difficult to find out the incident, but how to deal with it is difficult.
Guangmei University has been established for decades, and it is true that there are no similar insider stories in private, but it is actually rare to expose them on the table.
In addition, He Yuanchang's background is a problem.
"Principal Tong..."
Yu Xian's class teacher Xiao Yongzhi was also present. She came over as soon as she received the call, and she was firmly on the side of her students.
First, Yu Xian was semi-forcibly signed up to participate by his own troops;
Secondly, Yu Xian is indeed a good seedling. Xiao Yongzhi is a teacher after all, and it is impossible to deal with his own students with others;
Third, Xiao Yongzhi is also a woman. From the perspective of empathy, she does not think Yu Xian has done anything wrong.
He Yuanchang's behavior seemed to be "helping" Yu Xian, but it was actually a kind of "academic harassment."
So Xiao Yongzhi said to Tong Lan: "Yu Xian was a little impulsive and shouldn't have rashly tore up the work, but she also had her reasons. This student is usually very reasonable."
"Is that reasonable?"
Bai Xiaoyang immediately retorted: "Tearing up the selection results in front of us is very reasonable? I think this kind of behavior is contempt for school rules and disrespect for teachers!"
Bai Xiaoyang and Yu Xian didn't know each other, and there had been no conflicts before. However, Yu Xian tore up his rated work in front of him, which made Bai Xiaoyang a little hard to accept.
Another associate professor selected was named Luo Yubing. She was a woman. After understanding the cause and effect, she remained silent.
Probably, when women face this kind of problem, they have a sense of personal experience, or even experienced it personally. However, at the time, they could only accept it silently, and were not as brave and direct as Yu Xian.
"I know this student Yu Xian well. He is frank and honest."
At this time, Fei Yueming also spoke.
Fei Fei was still angry, but he still helped Yu Xian at this time: "When I taught her lessons, she respected me very much. So I think this is the impulsive behavior of the little girl, and I really can't let her draw it again.
The picture is ready."
Re-paint a work, and then it is as if nothing happened, and this small twists and turns will be wiped out. Although dirty water may still be poured on Yu Xian's head, this is already the best way to deal with it.
Xiao Yongzhi cast a grateful glance at Fei Yueming. Unexpectedly, this professor, who had only taught Yu Xian a few classes, was also willing to help.
"Yes, this is just an act of impulse."
Xiao Yongzhi continued to speak for Yu Xian. Anyway, he could not lose in terms of momentum, otherwise Yu Xian would probably be punished.
"Taking a step back, this is her own painting. What's wrong with tearing it up? Professor Bai, why are you only looking at my students? He Yuanchang is the initiator, why don't you criticize him?"
When Xiao Yongzhi said this, he said angrily: "Is it because he is Professor Xia's favorite disciple that you don't dare to do it?"
Xiao Yongzhi was also a sharp-tongued person, and he accidentally exposed the truth that no one mentioned He Yuanchang.
The undergraduate courses in art colleges are different from those in ordinary colleges and universities. There are only 1,000 freshmen in each class of art colleges, so teachers will have more energy to teach students.
Especially in the third stage of sophomore year, professional course teachers will even select two or three talented and hard-working students to focus on.
Gradually, a training method was formed, just like graduate students or doctoral students in ordinary universities, with "teachers" as the link.
Normally, the "teacher-student relationship" is much deeper than the "teacher-student relationship". Let's take Chen Zhu as an example:
His class teacher when he was an undergraduate had long since stopped contacting him, but his boss (supervisor) when he was a graduate student would still visit him occasionally when he remembered.
After all, I have given one-on-one guidance, which may be the traditional meaning of "preaching, teaching, and solving doubts."
Fei Yueming had previously thought of waiting for Yu Xian's sophomore year to recruit this student and train him well.
First, he hopes that his ideas will be passed on;
The second is that if she does well in the future, she can also reflect on herself, and at worst, she can brag to others in the future:
Did you see that Ms. Yu, who is currently holding an art exhibition in Kowloon, Hong Kong, and whose works have been sold for millions, was taught by me back then.
Following the setting in the fantasy novel, that is, from an outer disciple to an inner disciple, his status in the sect is completely different.
If your master is strong and protective, you may even ignore some sect rules.
He Yuanchang, who is in his third year of college, has a strong tutor. His professional course teacher is Professor Xia Rucai, the dean of the Guangzhou Academy of Painting.
Hearing Xiao Yongzhi suddenly mention Xia Rucai, Tong Lan frowned and interrupted: "Don't talk nonsense, what does this have to do with Professor Xia?"
In fact, everyone knows how it could be okay.
Professor Xia admires He Yuanchang very much, and once publicly said that He Yuanchang is the hope to break through the blockade of GOME and Central America.
The first prize winner of this "White Stone Cup" is none other than He Yuanchang.
Therefore, it is a bit tricky for Tong Lan to deal with it, because Professor Xia Rucai is not only a master's degree supervisor, but also a doctoral supervisor, a subject leader, and an old professor who has a strong voice in Guangmei.
Nowadays, there are several important titles in the country, just like the Iron Hat King of the Qing Dynasty, which are very respected by people.
For example, academicians, Yangtze Scholars, Distinguished Young Scholars, Outstanding Young Scholars...etc., if there are professors with these titles in a university, they will have some obvious advantages in rating, funding or application projects.
The next best thing is the "discipline leaders". Although they are selected by the school itself, being selected also shows its influence in the industry in South China.
If it were anyone else, Tong Lan would have already played fifty games each, and He Yuanchang would probably be a little more serious.
After all, in a certain sense, if Yu Xian hadn't torn up the work in the end, she would have always been the victim.
In this situation, Tong Lan thought for a while and said, "I'll call Principal Yang for instructions."
Tong Lan could vaguely feel that this matter was not just about tearing up works, but also about how to define academic harassment and consider the face of a professor.
In fact, this was in 2007, and the Internet was not very developed, so this was the way it was handled.
If it were placed in 2024, once it was exposed, He Yuanchang would die 100 times without turning around.
When Tong Lan went out to make a phone call, Xiao Yongzhi looked worried.
Needless to say, Principal Yang will definitely side with Professor Xia. After all, he is a great professor, and Yu Xian is likely to be solely responsible for the final result.
But Xiao Yongzhi is very unwilling, why?
Don’t ordinary people who have no power even have the right to defend their innocence?
"Professor Fei."
Xiao Yongzhi hurriedly walked to Fei Yueming. After all, this was the person who had just spoken to Yu Xian, and he was just a lecturer, while Fei Yueming was a senior professor.
Xiao Yongzhi said worriedly: "Is there anything you can do? I feel that the situation will be unfavorable to Yu Xian."
"I?"
Fei Yueming smiled bitterly. There is a gap between "professor" and "professor". Xia Ru is the respected senior. What can I do?
unless……
Fei Yueming looked at Xiao Yongzhi's anxious face, thought about his expectations and appreciation for Yu Xian, hesitated for a moment and finally took out his phone.
But I couldn't help but murmur in my heart, Yu Xian, you must join my school when you are a sophomore, and you must achieve good results, otherwise you will not be sorry for my call today.
Teacher Guan, she usually ignores people.
