"Where?"
Su Ningshuang became curious when she heard Ye Chen say that.
“Someone gave me a castle, so we can go and see it when we travel abroad.”
Ye Chen explained.
"castle?"
Su Ningshuang raised an eyebrow.
Ye Chen's answer further fueled her curiosity.
Just as Su Ningshuang was about to ask more questions, a man in his thirties hurried over.
The man appears to be an instructor at the art academy.
"Professor Ye, I've finally found you."
"The dean would like to see you. He has something he wants to discuss with you."
Upon seeing Ye Chen from afar, the young counselor hurriedly spoke.
"The dean wanted to see me?"
Ye Chen raised an eyebrow.
"good."
Ye Chen nodded.
Ye Chen and Su Ningshuang followed the counselor to the dean's office of the School of Fine Arts at Shanghai University.
"Professor Ye has arrived. Please have a seat."
A few minutes later, in Dean Qin's office at the Academy of Fine Arts, Ye Chen and Su Ningshuang arrived. Dean Qin politely invited the two to sit down.
After Ye Chen and Su Ningshuang sat down, Ye Chen spoke directly:
"I wonder what business Dean Qin has with me?"
As the saying goes, no one visits a temple without a reason, so Dean Qin must have something to say to me now that he's suddenly contacting me.
"Professor Ye is indeed exceptionally intelligent. I did invite Professor Ye here today because there is something I need to discuss."
Dean Qin stopped being mysterious and explained directly:
"Tomorrow, our art academy and the art academy of another university will be holding a competition, and I would like to invite Professor Ye to participate."
At this point, Dean Qin's expression became serious.
"Originally, our school was supposed to send a team led by Professor Bai and two others, but yesterday, Professor Bai was hospitalized due to an accident, so we are one person short. I don't think it would be a burden for Professor Ye."
"The art school of another university?"
Ye Chen noticed that Dean Qin's tone was a little off when he said this short passage.
"What university?"
"The top universities in China, Tsinghua and Peking University."
Dean Qin gave a helpless reply.
If it's a competition with other art academies, then so be it; there's no need to take it so seriously.
But the other party happens to be one of the top universities in China, Tsinghua and Peking University, which makes things complicated.
"The Academy of Fine Arts at Tsinghua and Peking Universities?"
"Isn't this the Tsinghua University North America Institute that was infamous online before?"
Ye Chen was also extremely surprised.
Previously, some professors at Tsinghua University's North American Institute deliberately vilified Chinese people, pandered to the West, and were criticized for their foreign worship and fawning over foreigners, which made them trend on social media.
Ye Chen didn't have a very good impression of it either.
"right."
Dean Qin smiled helplessly.
"The representative from Tsinghua University's North American Institute this time is Professor Zhu Shengkang, who was previously 'highly controversial'."
Because of a few professors at Tsinghua University's North American College who were overly fond of foreign things, Su Ningshuang also had a very bad impression of the college.
Ye Chen fell into thought.
Just then, Ye Chen's phone vibrated.
Ye Chen took out his phone and glanced at it; it was a game challenge.
Ye Chen subtly moved a little bit without making a sound and quietly opened the game.
【bite】
[Challenge issued: I promised Professor Qin that I would represent the School of Fine Arts of Shanghai University to challenge Zhu Shengkang of the North American College of Tsinghua University, and give him a good slap in the face, letting him know that fine arts are an art form, not a way of worshipping foreign things and pandering to the West.]
[Challenge Reward: 5% ownership of Kering Group, becoming Kering Group's fifth largest shareholder]
Challenge Reward: 230 Experience Points
[Challenge Reward: 128 Mall Points]
After briefly reviewing the challenge, Ye Chen immediately turned off his phone when no one was looking.
The challenge was roughly what Ye Chen had guessed.
But the rewards for this challenge are incredibly generous.
A 5% stake in Kering Group is worth two to three hundred billion.
If Ye Chen can acquire it, he can become the fifth largest shareholder of Kaiyun Group.
Ye Chen's status within the Kaiyun Group has risen another step, and his international connections will also improve accordingly.
What are we waiting for?!
"Okay, Dean Qin, I agree."
Ye Chen pretended to think for a while, then agreed to Dean Qin's request.
"That's great, then thank you for your hard work, Professor Ye."
Seeing that Ye Chen had agreed, Dean Qin breathed a sigh of relief.
"Oh, right, there's one more thing."
Dean Qin suddenly thought of something and added:
"This time, Professor Zhu from Tsinghua University's Academy of Fine Arts brought his students, who are the top talents from Tsinghua University's Academy of Fine Arts, and specifically asked to compete with the art talents of our school."
"I wonder if Professor Ye has any disciples?"
Dean Qin asked curiously.
"disciple?"
This is where Ye Chen gets asked.
"I have never taken on any apprentices."
Ye Chen shook his head.
Whether it's fine arts, calligraphy, or anything else, many people want to become Ye Chen's apprentices, but Ye Chen hasn't accepted a single one.
"Professor Ye doesn't have any disciples? That's a bit of a problem."
Dean Qin stroked his chin, lost in thought.
"Should I select someone from the art academy now to temporarily act as Professor Ye's student and compete tomorrow?"
Dean Qin came up with a solution.
But after thinking for a long time, Dean Qin still couldn't think of a suitable candidate, and he couldn't help but sigh:
"The problem is that although our art academy has top talents like Professor Ye, there are no outstanding geniuses among the students."
Beside her, Su Ningshuang suddenly had an idea.
