Chapter 108: Admission Banquet
For a long time, the Si family has been engaged in a drama of competing for favor between little Tang Xu and little Sun Youyou.
In order to balance the relationship between the brother and sister, Tang Chengjia and Si Jiali had to buy a house in the community and move there.
Of course, the wealthy Tang Jia also contributed.
To be precise, it took a lot of effort.
Tang Jia had never calculated the wealth in her hands, but she knew clearly that the amount was considerable.
These things cannot be brought into this world and cannot be taken away from this world, so why not give some of them to improve your family’s living conditions?
Things that can be solved with money are nothing in Tang Jia's eyes now.
Now, right now, at this moment, Tang Jia only has one thing in his mind:
Special recruitment examination for the Alliance’s First Military Academy.
The special recruitment exam for the Alliance's First Military Academy is not easy.
From filling out the application form and preparing the resume to the written test, interview, skills test, portfolio evaluation...there cannot be any mistakes in every step.
After all, there are many eyes staring at her, and she can't let these people leave any handles.
However, there is also good news.
First of all, the special recruitment examination of the Alliance’s First Military Academy can be conducted online.
Secondly, although the exam results will be kept for reference, they will not be made public.
Security and confidentiality are maximized, which is more suitable for people like Tang Jia who are being watched and have a vest.
Therefore, when the results of the special recruitment exam were announced and the name Tang Jia appeared on the admission list of the Art Department of the Alliance's First Military Academy, voices of doubt were heard everywhere, and some people even reported the matter to the Alliance Education Bureau under their real names.
The social impact of this incident was so great that the Education Bureau, under pressure, immediately set up an investigation team to conduct an investigation.
When they saw Tang Jia's application form, the entire investigation team was stunned.
Tang Jia applied for deep avoidance of suspicion from the very beginning and wrote dozens of names in the column of relevant personnel.
More than half of the figures in the alliance's art world are on this list, including but not limited to Master Mi Zhizhi, Uncle Fan Dechang, fellow apprentices, the Mi family, and Cao Hanmo's line.
Just by looking at these rows of names, you can tell that the whole thing is not simple.
But now that I'm standing here, what else can I do?
Of course, keep checking!
As they slowly flipped through Tang Jia's resume, the group of people felt dizzy when they saw the four big characters "Mizhu Hermit" in the alias column.
Nowadays, who in the alliance doesn’t know the name of “The Hermit of Mizhu”?
That is definitely a rising star in the art world, already well-known in the league and heading towards the stars.
Now, you tell me, is this Tang Jia’s vest?
They actually want to look for the Bamboo Hermit?
Are they sure this isn't a trap set by their competitors?
The members of the inspection team looked at each other and began to doubt their lives unconsciously.
When the members of the investigation team saw the private seal belonging to the hermit Mizhu in the resume and the stacks of work registration certificates, their worries finally subsided.
Alright! Mizhu Hermit really came to take part in this damn special recruitment exam!
This is pure dimensionality reduction, okay?
Only if Mizhu Hermit can't pass will they doubt the fairness of this exam, okay?
However, based on the work flow, everyone still watched the video of the online assessment.
First check the three examiners.
Gui Kai, the head of the Art Department of the First Military Academy of the Alliance, Jude Lake, the oil painting teacher, and Renee Parker, the sketching teacher... all had never met Tang Jia before and had no relevant interests.
Then check the exam content.
Test question: There is no difference between sketching, quick drawing and color.
There was no communication between the two parties during the exam.
However, Tang Jia's three works made everyone's eyes shine.
If they hadn't seen Tang Jia drawing stroke by stroke, they would have suspected that this was printed out by Tang Jia.
Especially the oil painting that examines colors, it is so realistic that it is hard to tell the difference between the real thing and the fake one.
I heard that Mizhu Hermit is not good at oil painting, but Chinese painting?
The inspection team was very curious and ordered tickets for Mizhu Hermit's exhibition on the spot.
Everyone turned around to look at the scores given by the examiners and began to feel sorry for Tang Jiaming.
Why is it only 299?
Where did that point go?
Mizhu Hermit’s paintings are only worth 299, so whose paintings are worth 300?
Check! You must check!
Fortunately, the Art Department of the Alliance's First Military Academy can still withstand scrutiny.
Compared with other people's scores that fluctuate around 250, the value of Mizhu Hermit's 299 is gradually increasing.
Although the inspection team still had some complaints, they at least accepted the high standards of the Art Department of the Alliance's First Military Academy.
The next day, the investigation results came out.
The special recruitment examination procedures for the First Alliance Military Academy are legal; the questions are reasonable, unambiguous, and non-biased; the exam procedures are standardized and fair; the invigilators are professional and impartial, there are no interested parties, and there is no cheating during the exam; the results are open and transparent; and the scores are authentic and valid...
With official endorsement, those who doubted Tang Jia immediately disappeared.
At least, that's what it seems on the surface.
As for what some people think or say privately, Tang Jia doesn't care at all!
There are people who don’t like credit points, let alone her!
Isn’t that the old saying?
If you are not envied by others, you are mediocre! She had prepared for so many years and finally got the acceptance letter. Tang Jiacai would not let such a small thing ruin her mood on such a happy day.
Although it doesn't need to be announced to the world, it is still necessary to hold a three-day banquet at home.
Except for Kane Ryan and Caleb Ryan, father and son, all other relatives and friends were invited, even Ms. Sun Nianhan was specially invited back.
The Si family, the Benton family, the Patton family, Tang Hongjia and his wife, Dr. Pine, old Hall, Hai Xinghan... no one can be missing.
There were three tables for the banquet. Mrs. Benton, the dedicated "personal trainer" for six years, sat at the main table, at the upper seat. She was accompanied by Ms. Sun Nianhan, who had taken a special leave to come back. They had to eat and drink well and not leave until they were drunk.
Tang Jia also brought out his best skills, such as the steamed lion's head, which symbolizes good luck and prosperity; the top scholar porridge, which symbolizes academic success; the Dingsheng cake, which symbolizes continuous promotion and academic success; the turtle soup, which symbolizes dominating the first place; the braised carp, which symbolizes a bright future; and the four-happiness meatballs, which represent peace and prosperity in all seasons...
Not only does it have a good meaning, it tastes even better, and it is sure to make everyone come with laughter and chat, and leave with their stomachs full.
Mrs. Barton is indeed a businesswoman, she has a keen business sense.
As soon as the food was served, I figured out a lot of things.
For example, the source of your own recipes.
The Bartons are transparent.
They didn't mind Tang Jia's concealment at all, and even didn't have time to eat, and asked Tang Jia for commercial authorization.
Tang Jia directly put the blame on Caleb Ryan.
Poor Caleb Ryan couldn't even afford a ready-made meal and still had to work for Tang Jia.
Just, feeling aggrieved!
