Li Renshi saw that everyone was talking about it, and was afraid that the matter would get worse. He glanced at Old Lady Su, and when he saw her nod, he quickly came out and said:
"I wrote this 'Self-Portrait' on the spot while watching Zhou Yi at the Fengxian Cultural Center. There is nothing false about it. I also sealed it myself and sent it to Jinghai."
When everyone saw Li Renshi come out and say that it was a work he had witnessed with his own eyes, they stopped talking.
They all knew that Mr. Li's preference for literature and calligraphy was deep-rooted, and he could not tolerate any injustice, and would not tolerate such a black sheep entering the literary world.
Qin Yue was also dumbfounded and stood there in a daze.
She didn't know that this time it was Mr. Li who went to Fengxian to collect manuscripts. If she had known, she would definitely not question the authenticity of the works, because she was also very clear about how serious Mr. Li was about literature and calligraphy.
The host also knew that it was not good to embarrass the Qin family, so he quickly called on everyone to return to the awarding area. Because this was the first calligraphy competition this year, the Su family had increased the prize money.
When everyone heard this, they all returned to the award ceremony area. That was the Su family, and they all wanted to see the Su family's handiwork.
The host obviously knew that the best way to make everyone forget a topic was to bring up another one. Sure enough, the Su family's extra reward successfully attracted everyone's attention, and no one cared about the previous episode anymore.
The host also quickly got straight to the point:
"This year, in addition to the already known bonuses of 100, 200, and 300 yuan for the top three, the Su family generously gave out an additional 3,000 yuan as a bonus to the top three, which are 500, 1,000, and 1,500 yuan respectively."
As soon as the host finished speaking, the crowd exploded.
"As expected of the Jinghai Su family, they are really generous!"
"Yeah, if I knew the Su family had extra bonuses, I would definitely practice hard at home."
"Who says it isn't? Feng County has been in the spotlight this year."
"That's right, I'm just too lucky."
"But those two works are indeed of a very high standard. I am convinced."
... ...
Some are envious, some are jealous, but most still approve, after all, the work is there.
The three of them went up to receive the award. Qin Yue had a dark face the whole time, even when the reporters were taking pictures.
Zhou Yi was also happy. With the bonus plus her original two hundred yuan, she had more than 2,000 yuan. At that moment, she was definitely a rich woman.
The reason for her joy was that she finally had money to give to the garment factory so that she could make more ready-made clothes. She was very confident that she could definitely open up the ready-made clothes market.
"Congratulations, Xiaoyi." Zhou Yi came down to receive the award, and Tang Xiaoqing smiled happily.
At this time, Liu Shengpei also came over and said to Zhou Yi with a smile: "Congratulations, Miss Zhou, you have brought honor to our Feng County."
Zhou Yi had a good impression of Liu Shengpei. He had the elegance of a scholar and also had a sense of life. He looked like a down-to-earth person.
"Congratulations to you too, Mr. Liu. Let's bring honor to Fengxian County together. And thank you for speaking up for me just now." Zhou Yi said with a smile.
"It's my duty, and I'm just stating the facts." Liu Shengpei said with a calm smile, then said goodbye: "I have to catch a bus back to Fengxian, so I'll leave now. I hope to see you again next time."
"Mr. Liu, have a safe trip. There will be a chance." Zhou Yi said with a smile.
Zhou Yi and Tang Xiaoqing were about to leave when they saw Old Lady Su, Master Li Renshi and Qin Qin coming over.
"Xiaoyi, congratulations, you deserve it." Qin Qin spoke first.
"Thank you, Aunt Qin." Zhou Yi smiled slightly, neither arrogant nor impatient.
Li Renshi also congratulated Zhou Yi, then turned to Tang Xiaoqing and said:
"Ms. Tang, I heard from Teacher Su that you'd like to try out for a position at the Calligraphy Association, right?"
"Yes, Mr. Li, please give me more guidance in the future." Tang Xiaoqing said calmly.
"That's great! I originally wanted to invite you and the little fat girl to the calligraphy association, but the little fat girl refused to come no matter how much I persuaded her. Luckily you agreed. So when can you come and start your trial work?"
"I'm available anytime. I'll follow the arrangements made by Teacher Su and Mr. Li."
"Okay, then we'll start work tomorrow?"
"OK."
In this way, Tang Xiaoqing's job was settled.
Zhou Yi looked at the sky outside and said goodbye to the three of them: "Mrs. Su, Grandpa White Hair, Aunt Qin, we have something to do and we have to leave first. Let's talk next time we meet."
"Don't forget what you promised to cook for me." Old Mrs. Su blinked and looked at her.
"Don't worry, I'll remember it. I'll come to your house the day after tomorrow, or at the latest the day after tomorrow." Zhou Yi smiled, "I really have to leave."
"Just remember it. Go ahead, go ahead." Old Mrs. Su said with a smile.
Teacher Li Ren looked at the interaction between Old Lady Su and Zhou Yi in surprise. Did this little fat girl win over Teacher Su?
Zhou Yi ignored Li Renshi's grinning face and pulled Tang Xiaoqing out of the Calligraphy Association.
Just as they walked out of the calligraphy association, Tang Xiaoqing excitedly grabbed Zhou Yi's hand and said, "Xiaoyi, am I dreaming?"
"Ah~ Xiaoyi, why are you pinching me?" Tang Xiaoqing cried out in pain.
"Does it hurt? It proves that you are not dreaming." Zhou Yi smiled mischievously.
"So I really have a job? And the salary is 80? That's twice as much as the workers in those factories in the county." Tang Xiaoqing was still a little bit unbelievable, but she knew that this job was introduced to her by Zhou Yi, and then she said, "Xiaoyi, thank you."
"Sister-in-law, I'm really angry if you say that." Zhou Yi pretended to be angry.
"Don't be angry, sister-in-law will buy you something delicious later." Tang Xiaoqing was really happy.
