Chang Shuying thought about it seriously for a moment and replied, "I drew what I wanted to draw, Teacher Wen, is there a problem with that?"
Wen Suiyang gripped the newspaper tightly, his temper flaring up unexpectedly. His face was cold as he snapped, "This is wrong of you..."
Suddenly, a pair of hands grabbed him from behind, pulling him to the side by the back of his collar.
Director Ning snapped, "Who are you, kid? What do you want?"
"Mom! Grandpa Ning!"
Chang Shuying's tense expression immediately relaxed, and she threw herself into Zhou Hongyu's arms.
Zhou Hongyu glanced at Wen Suiyang, who was clearly very unhappy, and hugged her daughter tightly. What's wrong with Teacher Wen?
Shuying winning the award should have been a happy thing, but instead his tone was full of criticism, and he seemed very unhappy.
Zhou Hongyu stroked Shuying's head tenderly. Her daughter deserved praise for winning the award, not these unwarranted accusations.
Wen Suiyang shook off Director Ning's hand, staring at him with murderous intent, and questioned, "Are you her new teacher? Do you know that teaching like this is misleading a student!"
Wen Suiyang was furious. With Chang Shuying's talent and his guidance, she would surely stand out in the industry and become a rising star.
Instead of listening to the slander of this incompetent new teacher and going in the wrong direction.
"Not bad, you've got some skills," Director Ning said thoughtfully, stroking his chin.
It turned out that he was Chang Shuying's former teacher, so Director Ning knew the reason for his impulsiveness.
"Come here, let's talk over there!"
"Hmph, what's there to say? You're misleading the younger generation!"
Oh dear, this kid is so ungrateful!
Director Ning was displeased: "You say I'm misleading students? Kid, do you even know what a teacher should be like?"
Being stubborn and disrespectful of students' ideas... these are all unacceptable.
Wen Suiyang snorted coldly: "In any case, it won't be like this. From now on, I will personally teach Shuying. You don't need to interfere in her affairs..."
Chang Shuying lifted her head from Zhou Hongyu's embrace and said loudly, "No! I want to continue learning to paint from Grandpa Ning!"
Grandpa Ning is very kind. He tells her to draw whatever makes her happy, unlike Teacher Wen who is extremely strict and only allows her to draw according to Teacher Wen's ideas.
She found Teacher Wen's expectations of her strange.
In that state, she seemed like a tool to fulfill Teacher Wen's wishes.
Wen Suiyang turned his head and said loudly, "Shuying, don't let him brainwash you. Your talent shouldn't be wasted!"
Director Ning's smile grew even more charming: "Waste? What do you mean by waste? Shuying, let me ask you, were you happy when I taught you to paint?"
Chang Shuying nodded emphatically and said, "Teacher Wen, I'm very happy learning to paint with Grandpa Ning. You don't need to worry about me. You can continue teaching the other students!"
"From now on, I will only teach you!" Wen Suiyang said coldly.
"I..." Chang Shuying suddenly didn't know what to say.
"As long as I'm here, I won't let anyone ruin your future!" Wen Suiyang stared at the composed Director Ning, wishing he could devour him whole.
Director Ning chuckled and shook his head: "Kid, you're still too green. Your thinking is too simplistic and crude. What makes you think that what I'm doing is a waste of Shuying's talent? Or should I ask you what kind of person you want to mold Shuying into?"
Wen Suiyang was taken aback: "I did it for her own good..."
Director Ning retorted, "For her own good? Don't make excuses for your own selfish desires. Shuying isn't a three-year-old child. She has her own thoughts and the ability to discern right from wrong!"
Wen Suiyang retorted: "She's new to the industry and clueless. She doesn't know anything. I've been painting for over twenty years, and I certainly won't let her repeat my mistakes! Her career is bound to be bright!"
Director Ning chuckled, sharing some recently gathered information: "Kid, your master is Master Huang from the Academy of Fine Arts, right? You used to listen to your master a lot, didn't you?"
Wen Suiyang was speechless for a moment. Although he was his master's youngest disciple, he was also the most talented. He was arrogant and unruly, and he didn't bother to listen to a word his master said.
He went to work as a teacher at an ordinary middle school because he was feeling down and wanted to escape his master's nagging, which his master found annoying most of the time!
but……
Wen Suiyang looked at the composed Director Ning. Why did he know so much about his background?
Director Ning smiled gently, stroking his beard, and advised, "Do not do to others what you would not have them do to you. I believe you have heard this saying more often than I have!"
Looking into Chang Shuying's resolute gaze and recalling her timidity not long ago, Wen Suiyang felt a sense of clarity and his mind reached a new level.
He understood—
Wen Suiyang respectfully cupped his hands and thanked him, saying, "Thank you, senior. I understand!"
The path he chose for Chang Shuying may be smooth and easy, but it will never lead to growth. In the end, the so-called success will not be Chang Shuying's success. Chang Shuying will only be left far behind until she is eliminated!
He's the one who's misleading and corrupting people—
Director Ning smiled with satisfaction: "When you get back, please give my regards to your master, and I also wish you good results in the next competition!"
Wen Suiyang is famous overseas at a young age. He has the right to be arrogant because of his talent. Not long ago, he was defeated in a competition held in Southeast Asia. After the competition, he had a disagreement with Master Huang. He left in a fit of loyalty and came to this ordinary middle school to work as an art teacher.
Wen Suiyang gave Chang Shuying a deep look, the person he was trying so hard to mold into a muse, before looking away and leaving.
Chang Shuying smiled happily as she listened to her mother's praise, but when she turned around, Teacher Wen was already gone.
At this moment, Director Ning advised her: "You have only passed the preliminary round. The higher you go, the stronger your opponents will be. If you don't work hard, even if you have talent, you may not be able to go to Shanghai to participate in the finals!"
