[Chapter 443 Chapter 442 About Graduation Assignment]
Taking advantage of the old emperor's enthusiasm for movies and electric lights, Shen Yuyao often exchanged good things from him.
She usually asked for some secret recipes and skills, and occasionally asked for some works of famous literati and painters from Wushuang Country that she liked very much.
For other noble families, these things may be the foundation of their family and will never be passed on to outsiders. However, for the emperor, they are nothing.
Once he issues an imperial decree, who would dare not hand it over?
The old emperor knew very well that the goddess wanted these things back in order to develop China.
But as long as it’s not used in Wushuang Country, what does it have to do with him?
So he gave generously, and Shen Yuyao was happy to receive it.
It can be said that both parties are very satisfied.
Shen Yuyao did not hide these things after she brought them back.
She was not very good at dealing with those high-ranking officials and did not want to get involved in those matters, so she just gave it all to her husband.
It is up to Cheng Liyan to decide how to use those things and how to reveal them.
Shen Yuyao did not ask how to donate or how to explain it. As long as the money can be put to good use, it’s good enough.
Cheng Liyan has also become accustomed to his wife's irresponsible behavior, and he enjoys following her around to patch up the holes.
Anyway, Shen Yuyao didn’t know where those things were finally handed in. She only knew that the school leaders looked at her with increasingly softer eyes.
Later, when he faced her, he was so loving to her!
Time passed day by day, and in a blink of an eye, a year had passed in Shen Yuyao's college life, and she was promoted to the second year of graduate school.
This class of graduate students is unique in China's history.
First, it is its admission standards, and second, it is its duration.
Shen Yuyao and her classmates only study for two years, which means that they will face graduation assignments from the moment they enter their second year of graduate school.
Shen Yuyao's class is different from other classes in the college.
Others can study Chinese painting or oil painting and continue their studies if they have strong abilities or talents in the future. However, Shen Yuyao and her classmates knew from the day they entered school that they would become teachers at a university in two years.
There is absolutely no chance for further study.
The country is now in great need of technical talents, especially high-level professional and technical talents like Shen Yuyao.
Therefore, everyone in their class will not worry about not having any college to accept them, nor will they have to worry about finding a place to live.
You can enjoy quite good treatment after graduation.
However, people always yearn for better.
For example, if we are in the same class, who would not want to stay in Beijing and in our school in the future?
Everyone had already started discussing it in private, saying that two quotas would be allocated to their class in the Arts and Crafts Department.
As for who will be chosen, it’s hard to say now.
No matter how people who know this news behave, whether they pretend not to care or try their best, there is no one who is not tempted.
Since people are interested, they will pay more attention to it.
For example, some people began to evaluate the whole class one by one, trying to calculate the individual probability first.
This is quite a big deal.
Almost everyone realized that Shen Yuyao would definitely take one of these two places!
Some people agree with this perception.
After all, Shen Yuyao was the first person to be accepted as Professor Wei's closed disciple.
Although she doesn't like to hang out with others and isn't very noticeable in class, her grades are always among the best.
Another thing is that she has always lived in the staff quarters of the Institute of Arts and Crafts, and all her neighbors are teachers.
Even if you just use your face, it will be easier for you to gain the teacher's favor than other students.
This can be seen from the fact that any school leader will take the initiative to greet her and behave very kindly when they see her.
Apart from Shen Yuyao, who else can make all the school leaders know her?
After word of this spread, more people began to feel jealous.
At some point, the news that Shen Yuyao had been selected slowly spread.
Shen Yuyao knew nothing about all this.
In fact, those students’ guesses cannot all be considered groundless.
The leaders had indeed already decided on Shen Yuyao.
After all, the things she donated over the past year have brought a lot of benefits to the school.
Especially regarding those calligraphy and painting works she donated later, the dean went to the Ministry of Culture to argue with him and even slammed the table with the deputy minister in charge!
In the end, he managed to recover quite a lot, and the director of the Beijing Academy of Fine Arts who went with him was so angry that he could only stare blankly.
When everyone came back to talk about this, they all knew that they had benefited from Shen Yuyao's help.
If it weren't for Xiao Shen, it would be hard to say whether they could have competed with the Academy of Fine Arts with their qualifications.
Therefore, it is necessary to keep Shen Yuyao!
The students' private rumors gradually reached Professor Wei's ears.
The old professor, who had too much experience, didn't care much about such a small matter. He didn't even tell Shen Yuyao about it.
But Shen Yuyao suddenly found that the teacher had higher expectations of her and was holding her accountable more strictly.
First, Professor Wei took away her earliest painting, "Military Painting in the Snow," saying that he was going to participate in a competition.
Then she was assigned several homework assignments in a row, all of which required very high completion standards.
Because of this, Shen Yuyao was so tired that her hair fell out and she had no energy to pay attention to the noise outside.
After working like this for half a year, all kinds of good news came one after another in the second half of the year.
First, Shen Yuyao’s earliest “Clothing Album” was reprinted. This is the third reprint.
She received another substantial sum of royalties.
Soon after, her painting "Military Scene in the Snow" won an award in a national competition and was selected by a certain calligraphy and painting academy to be included in its collection.
Shen Yuyao held the collection certificate, feeling a little reluctant but also a little proud.
Then, the assignments she had submitted before also received good feedback, some won awards in various competitions, and some were collected by the school.
In short, in more than half a year, Shen Yuyao had made great progress and became famous in the calligraphy and painting circles across the country. A newspaper even approached her school to interview her.
This enthusiasm lasted for half a year, and then their class was finally about to graduate.
