Fame and Career
The first bird to stick its head out gets shot.
If she cannot hide her weakness before she has enough strength to protect herself, she will inevitably face bloody storm - after losing her magic power, she is just an ordinary girl with no background, and the intrigues and hypocrisy in this world are always more than she can imagine.
Xunzi said: "Human nature is evil, and those who are good are fake." The flower of evil is buried deep in everyone's heart. The higher the position one holds, the more likely he is to be jealous of others' talents.
Yu Zhi knew her true talent. She did not have the ability to create a new school. Her advantage came from her long life and rich experience. She stood at a height that no human had ever reached, looking at the world with the eyes of a god, and had enough time to hone every technique.
Even the greatest genius cannot transcend the shackles of time.
The development of art is often accompanied by money and business operations. She, who has no background, is like the most beautiful flower in the garden, and is often the first to be picked.
Yu Zhi has always been confident about her paintings. She is sure that this painting will definitely create a stir in the art world. She is too lazy to spend time dealing with complicated interviews, money transactions, and interpersonal relationships.
In the past, she had a pursuit of painting, and was eager to make a name for herself through painting, to bring a decent income to her family, and to be respected by others. Interviews and interpersonal communication... were what she longed for.
Unfortunately, she no longer needs these things to give herself confidence. The "money" that artists despise has become her only need.
She needed a large sum of money, a sum that would set her and her parents free.
Wang Shuyue graduated from a top art academy and studied under a famous domestic painter. At a young age, she became a teacher at the city's top high school and is also a shareholder of a large art studio. How can an ordinary high school teacher have such power?
Wang Shuyue's studio needs "reputation". The louder the reputation and the more awards they win, the higher their status in the circle can be, thus exchanging for more benefits. And she can use Wang Shuyue's power to reduce troubles, concentrate on painting, and get rewards quickly.
This is a win-win deal. No studio would reject someone who has a great chance of winning a top award but does not reveal his identity and gives all the fame and fortune to the studio.
This is also a gift from Yu Zhi to Wang Shuyue - to thank her for her care and help over the past year.
Of course, people are always greedy, and even if Wang Shuyue is kind-hearted, we cannot rely on her kindness for everything. When necessary, Yu Zhi will not hesitate to rely on the help of her classmates to solve some problems. As partners and friends who have spent a hundred years together, they are not stingy in giving each other any help as long as they can.
Just as Yu Zhi had judged, Wang Shuyue had no reason to refuse her proposal. Instead, she fell into deep guilt because of her identity as a teacher and Yu Zhi's lack of pursuit of fame and fortune.
As a teacher, you should put students first. Why do I feel like she is taking advantage of me now?
If Yu Zhi was willing, this painting alone would be enough to make her famous in the circle.
What on earth did this child go through? How come he suddenly became so mature and independent-minded in such a short period of time?
In the past, even if her tone was gentle, she always communicated with Zhi as a teacher. But now, their identities were placed on the same level, no longer "teacher and student", but "collaborators".
This sudden change of identity was really strange. Wang Shuyue was a little dazed, and the look in her eyes when she looked at Yu Zhi became more and more complicated.
"If you're willing, come with me to the studio at noon. I know you don't want to expose yourself, so I'll ask them to draft a contract and a confidentiality agreement in advance. I won't accept this painting for now. When you think the contract is fair enough for you, give it to me."
When she spoke again, Wang Shuyue's tone changed drastically. She looked into Yu Zhi's eyes and handed the painting back to her with grace and grace.
How could Wang Shuyue not know the value of this painting? But facing Yu Zhi, who might change her mind at any time, she did not show any greed or reluctance. Instead, she showed pure trust as a collaborator and a teacher's undisguised appreciation and joy for her student.
Yu Zhi's sculpture-like holy smile deepened a little, a barely perceptible light flashed in her eyes, and the whole person suddenly seemed to become a lot more lively.
"Teacher, please keep this painting first." She handed the painting out again: "I believe you will keep it for me."
Seeing Yu Zhi's attitude, Wang Shuyue did not refuse this time. She carefully took the painting without saying anything. The silent understanding made the two of them smile at each other, and everything was said without words.
...
Another political lesson.
When he walked into the classroom as a political teacher again, Rui Hang was much calmer than the nervousness on the first day.
He placed the lesson plan he had been working on all night on the podium and looked around the classroom.
"Attend class."
"Stand up." Class monitor Su Mingya shouted reflexively, and everyone stood up at the same time and shouted loudly: "Hello, teacher——"
After a day, the students have apparently adapted to their student identities and no longer habitually put on a high-handed attitude all the time, which makes people want to punch them.
After letting the students sit down, Rui Hang looked around the classroom: "First, let's do a small statistics. Those who are in charge of or rule a country in Parnaki, please raise your hands."
After a moment's silence, five hands were raised.
"Very good," Rui Hang nodded, motioning them to put down their hands. "Unlike Earth, Parnaqui has a total of five eras. The 'Ancient Era' when the God of Creation created the world and created 24 gods; the 'Chaos Era' when the gods created races and all things were born with intelligence; the 'Ice Era' when the gods disappeared and civilization began to emerge; the 'Silver Era' when civilization developed rapidly; and the 'Glorious Era' when human civilization reached its peak and continues to this day. Intelligence began to awaken in the 'Chaos Era', and by the 'Ice Era', the transition from primitive society to slave society had been completed."
At this point, Rui Hang turned around and wrote a line on the blackboard: "The development and evolution of social systems"
"Social system refers to the general term for various systems that reflect and maintain a certain social form or structure." Rui Hang said: "Remember to mark it, it will be tested."
Class 9 student: "...Yes."
"I will not elaborate on the concepts of 'primitive society' and 'primitive society' here. They are all in the book. Remember to memorize them." Rui Hang continued to write on the blackboard: 'feudal society', 'capitalist society', 'communist society'
"In the Ice Age, slavery was born along with civilization. Today, Parnaqui has a total of four social systems: feudal society, capitalist society, and communist society. However, the birth of the latter two is not an inevitable product of the evolution of civilization, but comes from us." Rui Hang looked at the students who had just raised their hands: "We brought a brand new social system and ideas, and established a brand new system. We traveled back to Earth from Parnaqui in the 2377th year of the Glorious Era, which means that after 17,377 years, Parnaqui has not yet completed the transformation from feudal society to capitalist society and communist society. On Earth, the emergence of ancient Egyptian civilization marked the birth of human civilization, but it has only been more than 5,500 years."
"In Parnaki, due to my identity, I don't have time to give all of you systematic lessons. But as I said yesterday, you and I cannot predict future developments. Whether we return to Parnaki or not, we must be prepared for both situations." Rui Hang rested his hands on the podium: "Today, the only two capitalist countries and communist countries in Parnaki were established by our classmates. The development of the times tells us that feudal society is a product that is bound to be eliminated. It is not 'scientific' enough. But in fact, whether it is the 'Free Federation' dominated by capitalist society or the 'Lint Republic' dominated by communist society, their development has not far surpassed other feudal countries. Among the countries dominated by humans today, the most powerful one is still the 'Holy Roman Empire' led by classmate Owena."
At this point, Rui Hang's eyes lit up with a smile: "You are arrogant enough to change 'Saint Malo' to 'Holy Rome'."
"That's right." Sun Jingshu, the deputy secretary of the Youth League branch of Class 9, who led the 'Lint Republic', couldn't help but envy her: "If I had known you would do this, I wouldn't have continued the name of the Lint Kingdom and directly changed it to 'Huaxia' or 'Soviet'."
"Don't say that." Ouwenna lifted her hair and said, "I wanted to change the name to 'Great Qin Empire' at first, but those stubborn nobles firmly disagreed." When talking about her country, Ouwenna was no longer as lazy as yesterday. It was as if there was a ferocious lion hidden in her eyes. Her eyes were as sharp as torches and her momentum was as strong as rainbows. She even changed her self-proclaimed name from "I" back to "I": "How can I allow these losers to question my decision?"
"Didn't you change it to Rome later?" Gao Shu complained.
Ouwena glanced at him: "That's why I told you to learn more about liberal arts and stop spending all day on your math problems. The Book of the Later Han Dynasty: The Western Regions refers to Rome as 'Da Qin'. This name not only alludes to 'Qin', but also implies the Roman Empire, and it doesn't seem abrupt. Only this name is worthy of my country. Besides, Saint Malo and Saint Rome sound similar." At this point, she raised her chin, full of confidence: "One day, my cavalry will trample it flat..."
Owena paused, and said reluctantly, "Except for your country, all the backward and ignorant feudal countries in Panaki have accomplished the feat that Saint Malo XIV, who created the glorious era, could not accomplish!"
Student from Class 9, Grade 2: "..."
However, I don’t feel at ease at all!
