Tuesday,
Dulwich College Yangon.
Mona stepped into the door of the professor's office building and paused briefly in front of the floor-to-ceiling mirror at the corner of the stairs on the second floor.
She looked at the figure in the mirror.
The self in the mirror is meticulously dressed.
The long hair is combed into a neat hairline on the back of the head. On her feet is a pair of shiny dark leather shoes. The collar of the white school uniform shirt is tight above the curved and slim chest. A sky blue bow tie held it in place.
Beautiful and capable.
"Come on. Miss Sandenou, you can do it and leave a good impression on Professor Cruz."
She gently moved the tie around her neck. , making sure that it was exactly in the center, he nodded with satisfaction, clenched his fists, and whispered encouragement to himself in the mirror.
Mona held a thick folder under her arm, which was a portfolio of her work in preparation.
She is going to pay an early visit today before the start of classes, the legendary new professor Mrs. Adriana Cruz.
The wife of this internationally renowned artist will start a six-month giftedaaataented class in school.
Having the experience of studying with Mrs. Sakai is a rare and precious opportunity for every Dulwich international student.
Precious means rare.
Of course it is impossible for a large group of people to take this kind of course with the master personally teaching by his side.
There are only five places in the school.
The selection criteria for the improvement class are based on the oil painting class assignments during the winter vacation. Mrs. Sakai will select the five students who she thinks have the highest degree of completion of their works to enter her own small class. .
Mona judged that based on her painting skills, she could not be considered the worst among her classmates, but she was not among the top ones either.
At least not as good as Gu Weijing.
Many times, she knew in her heart that it was only with the help of her little boyfriend that she could get such a good rating as an A for her past courses.
Even if she received guidance from a private tutor for this holiday homework,
Mona was not sure she would be among the top few.
She didn’t want this precious opportunity to come before her, but she didn’t grasp it.
Opportunities always come to those who work hard.
Mona plans to work harder.
She is the president of the school's female student union and knows where every teacher's office is.
Taking this opportunity, Mona wanted to visit Mrs. Sakai in advance.
She even prepared an envelope, which contained her own self-introduction, detailing her main painting direction and transcripts of some outstanding subjects in the past.
This matter is easy to say, please contact the university in advanceIt is common in both East and West to visit a favorite mentor with the expectation of receiving preferential treatment during the interview.
Even a little too much,
A Dutch university once had a female student who slept with the entire tutor group in 2000. After it was finally exposed, one-third of the students It is such outrageous news that a teacher in the department was packed and expelled from the school.
But for high school students who are still in a relatively simple ivory tower, it is very smart to have such emotional intelligence and to be willing to do such sleek and sophisticated things in the "adult" society.
After all, art is a personal subjective evaluation.
Leave a good impression on the other party in advance.
If nothing else, at least it gave Mrs. Sakai some impression of the name of the female student "Monasandanu".
If we can recruit you or not, you will have an advantage over other students.
"I am not the kind of guy who is irresponsible for himself."
Remembering that annoying person, Mona shook her head unhappily and drove his image out of her. mind.
Maybe Kou Kou is right.
I might really like Gu Weijing.
However, the world is big and there are many outstanding boys.
Mona never thought that she had to hang herself from a tree in Gu Weijing.
It is too stupid to give up the exquisite life in the future for the sake of vain love.
Sometimes, if you broaden your horizons, you will find many better opportunities.
Just like the KFC in front of my home when I was a child, the little girl thought it was just some delicacy when she first ate it. When she grew up, she saw the feasting and feasting in the colorful world, and then she realized that it was just a boring fast food. .
This time Mrs. Sakai’s advanced class is an opportunity that is so lucky that it is hard to find it even with a lantern.
The sky in Yangon is too narrow compared to truly developed countries.
If I could become Mrs. Sakai’s student, I would even get a letter of recommendation from her.
The good wind uses its power to send people to the blue sky.
Thus entering the real upper-class art circle.
Then when Mona looks back on this period of her life one day, she will burst into laughter. Gu Weijing is just an ordinary KFC.
"Hello, Professor Cruz. This is the portfolio I have prepared. I really want to take your class."
Mona rehearsed her words in her mind again. He took a deep breath and walked towards the teacher's office.
Boom, boom, boom
There was a knock on the door.
"Please come in."
A woman's voice came from behind the door.
Mona opened the door.
She was surprised to find that Mrs. Sakai was not the only one in the office.
In addition to the blond Spanish professor, there was also a young Asian who looked to be in his twenties.man.
"This Saturday, I will take Katsuko back to Japan for Kwon Ji-dragon's concert at the Tokyo Dome. I will fly back on Monday, what do you think?"
She recommended When I walked in, I happened to hear the man's enthusiastic suggestion.
G-Dragon’s concert in Tokyo
I flew to Tokyo on weekends during my school days just to watch a concert, and then flew back on Monday.
Is this the life that Miss Sakai Katsuko lives?
It’s really luxurious and nice.
Mona could not hide her envy.
"It depends on what Katsuko wants. If she is willing to go, I have no objection, but Katsuko has been busy recently."
Mrs. Sakai replied lightly first, and then asked Mona.
"What do you want?"
"Hello, Professor Cruz, this is the portfolio I have prepared"
"Sorry, Miss, I am I have something to discuss, and I’m afraid I don’t have time to look at your portfolio.”
Mrs. Sakai’s indifference exceeded Mona’s expectations.
She interrupted Mona without even raising her head, and waved her hand, indicating that she had no time to talk to her now.
"Oh, okay."
Mona was a little disappointed.
It seems that the time of her arrival was not very good. She was full of prepared words and did not even have a chance to say them.
There is a sense of disappointment that comes from being filled with enthusiasm on cotton.
"Professor, my name is Mona Sandenou. I just want to take your advanced class. This is my self-introduction. I'm sorry that I won't disturb you now."
She could only briefly mention her name and put the envelope on the coffee table in the office. Turn around, open the office door, and prepare to leave.
"Miss, please wait a moment."
Mrs. Sakai seemed to be touched by this name.
She stopped Mona who was about to leave.
"You are Sandenu, the president of the female student union who was given flowers at the opening ceremony"
Mrs. Sakai raised her head, her tone was quite playful.
The blond woman looked Mona up and down from head to toe and said, "She is indeed a pretty little girl."
"Quite heroic, now Do boys like girls with this style?"
She asked the young man on the side in a critical tone, "But I think Katsuko is cuter."
Taro Komatsu just returned to Myanmar this week.
I don’t know what evil possessed my “fiancee” Sakai Katsuko, but she wanted to write a bullshit paper with that bullshit poor boy from Burma.
What makes Komatsu even more annoyed is.
Faced with Katsuko’s outrageous nonsense, the Sakai couple actually agreed.
Kosatsu Taro wanted to inquire about the specific content of the paper several times.
As a result, even those who have always supported themselvesHis wife, Mrs. Sakai, declined.
Professor Kazunari Sakai expressed even more directly, "This is an important discovery. It is not convenient for outsiders to know before the paper is published."
Listen,
This is human talk
Let’s not put aside what great discoveries can be made in a remote country like Myanmar.
When did Taro Komatsu become an outsider compared to this young indigenous painter in Yangon?
The only thing that may be called good news is.
Mrs. Sakai invited herself to Myanmar to serve as a teaching assistant in the advanced class of Miss Katsuko’s school.
This at least shows that in Mrs. Sakai’s heart, she should still be facing herself.
However, he could feel that
Even Mrs. Sakai seemed to be less enthusiastic about him than before.
If it had been half a year ago, Mrs. Sakai would have persuaded Shengzi and herself to go to the concert, but now the answer has become "Let's see what Shengzi means."
This gave him an indescribable sense of crisis.
Hearing Mrs. Sakai’s question, Taro Komatsu’s eyes casually glanced at Mona’s body curves wrapped in school uniform.
She is indeed a very beautiful girl,
especially her whole body, from head to tail, from brown hair to lace stockings, everything is neatly and meticulously taken care of.
Both beautiful and heroic.
Somewhat like a youthful version of a strong woman,
This makes the female student union president look a little more charming, like a cold glass of The martini cocktail made Komatsu Taro feel a little itchy in his heart when he looked at the other person.
However,
Faced with the question of the sudden death of his "mother-in-law", Taro Komatsu was not stupid enough to not know the correct answer.
"Just a little girl from Yangon, there is no comparison with Miss Shengzi."
He shook his head.
These words may be a bit hurtful, but Komatsu Taro did it on purpose.
It’s not like he hasn’t seen beautiful girls before.
As the future heir to Komatsu Gallery, the competition among agents of large galleries to grab famous painters is notoriously fierce.
In the art circle, there are many characters like the great painter Picasso, an old scumbag surrounded by half a dozen lovers.
Sending a beautiful male or female model can only be regarded as one of the basic methods.
Komatsu Taro has been influenced by it since he was a child and has long been a leader in the Fengyue Field.
This kind of female student who wants to please Mrs. Sakai and build a relationship is not worth mentioning in Komatsu's eyes.
He doesn’t mind stepping on the other person’s dignity to show his loyalty to his mother-in-law.
Hearing the young man call her a country girl in front of her face,
Mona blinked her eyes hard, still maintaining an implicit and respectful smile on her face.
In Indian family education, society is a ladder of distinct levels.
At home, she is a high-caste lady in the eyes of the servants.
In the relationship between men and women, it is natural for Gu Weijing to stand on tiptoe to have the right to hold her hand as a better self.
And Mona only needs to consider whether she can reluctantly give him a little love.
But in front of the superior Mrs. Sakai,
she is nothing.
A letter of recommendation from the other party can easily make her future bright and accessible to schools that she would have never dared to think about.
This is a big shot far away.
If she really wants to make a good impression on Mrs. Sakai, no matter how uncomfortable she feels, there is nothing Mona can do in the face of offense. It's just a polite or even flattering smile.
"There's no need to say that."
Mrs. Sakai was very satisfied with Kosatsu Taro's attitude, but she was a professor in the school after all, and it was indeed a bit rude to comment on the students like this.
"You want to be my student"
Mrs. Sakai raised her eyebrows
"I am very eager for this opportunity, Professor Cruz, I would like to ask you I promise, I will be a good student," Mona said respectfully.
"Well, in that case, let's take a look at your portfolio."
Because of Gu Weijing,
Mrs. Sakai Not a good impression on Mona.
Actually
It’s not a bad impression at all.
She was just a little curious about her daughter’s sweetheart’s rumored girlfriend at school.
If Mona is really good at painting,
Mrs. Sakai is not stingy enough to kick this female student out.
"Okay, Professor. Please give me some advice."
Mrs. Sakai took the folder.
After just a few casual glances, she shook her head in disappointment.
In her opinion,
none of these works are outstanding.
Not to mention comparing with his daughters Sakai Katsuko and Gu Weijing, even the younger Sakai Tsunamasa has better writing skills than this Miss Mona in her collection of works. At least an order of magnitude stronger.
Perhaps by the standards of Myanmar students, it is not so bad.
But for Mrs. Sakai, who is accustomed to the high standards of artists, mediocrity itself is a mistake.
If judged by artistic standards,
This little girl and Gu Weijing are not from the same world at all.
"Well, I'm sorry. Miss Shantanu, to be honest, these works are really ordinary. If you want to take my advanced class, you can only expect your classmates to draw more You're worse."
She lost interest in continuing to talk to Mona and shook her head.head.
"Oh."
Mona bit her lip and forced herself to smile sweetly, "Thank you for your advice, madam."
"Take your self-introduction back as well, I don't have time to read it."
Mrs. Sakai's status in front of Mona makes it unnecessary for her to be perfunctory.
Komatsu glanced at the cover of the portfolio and curled his lips.
The cover of Mona’s portfolio is a photo printout of a self-portrait she once showed to Gu Weijing.
Using a self-portrait as the main work of your portfolio is generally not a wrong choice.
In the field of painting, self-portrait can be used as a test of one's painting level. Many famous painters like to paint a self-portrait regularly.
There is nothing wrong with the composition of this self-portrait, but the clothes are too gorgeous, which makes it look artificial and put the cart before the horse.
"Auntie, you came to Myanmar just to waste your time teaching students of this level."
When Mona closed the door,
behind her was Taro Komatsu. A sniffy, disdainful comment.
Gu Weijing found Mona who was silently wiping her tears under the shade of the trees in the playground.
"I just saw you coming out of the office building and you have been crying. What's wrong?"
He sat next to the girl and looked at Miss Mona's face. Unstoppable tears.
"It's none of your business, just go away"
Mona turned her face away, unwilling to let Gu Weijing see her current appearance.
Leave the office.
Walking alone in the quiet corridor, her tears of grievance finally shed uncontrollably.
No matter how strong I am, I put a smile on my face.
After all, she is just a little girl who has not yet grown up.
The condescending and hurtful tone in the office was like a sharp carving knife, which hurt her heart.
"You went to see Mrs. Sakai because she is in a higher class. She is not an easy person to deal with."
Gu Weijing picked up the one with a sticker on it at Mona's feet. Envelope with a note addressed to the Honorable Professor Adriana Cruz.
Looking at the words above, Gu Weijing burst into laughter.
Mrs. Sakai is not used to being a gentle woman.
"It's Professor Cruz, Mrs. Sakai, are you familiar with me? And you don't need to worry about my affairs."
Mona snatched Gu Weijing's hand. envelope, with a sneer on his lips. Please remember to collect it, the latest and fastest website is free to read without anti-theft
