Kong An had come this time, of course, for Lin Yuan’s issue.

Lin Yuan had single-handedly lifted the sketching level of the entire art department!

Such talent, Kong An had long made a secret resolution to transfer him to his own art department—

Keeping Lin Yuan in the composition department was a waste of talent.

However, Kong An hadn’t planned to approach Shi Cheng so early. After all, transferring departments was quite a troublesome matter, and this semester was about to end.

He had already waited for several months and didn’t mind a little longer.

But today, the end of the semester exam in the painting club made Kong An change his mind!

He couldn’t wait any longer!

He must bring Lin Yuan to the art department now, to avoid further complications!

Why?

Because in this semester’s final exam of the Art Department, there was a mind- boggling result—

The whole Art Department!

Among the top fifty students in sketching, forty-two of them were taught by Lin Yuan in the painting club!

This proportion was even more exaggerated than the last major exam of the Art Department!

Kong An had anticipated this, but it wasn’t enough to stir his emotions. After all, Lin Yuan’s sketching teaching level was acknowledged by even those sketching tutors in the Art Department.

The truly frightening thing was that it wasn’t just in sketching.

This time, even in the Gouache exam, among the top fifty students, thirty- three of them were also taught by Lin Yuan!

Sketching was one thing.

Kong An had not expected that Lin Yuan’s Gouache teaching ability would be so formidable.

It seemed that Lin Yuan’s blackboard newspaper last time did not display his full potential in Gouache!

This was a double brilliance in Gouache and sketching!

So Kong An could not hold himself back anymore and directly found his old friend Shi Cheng, he had to bring Lin Yuan to the Art Department whatever it took.

 

Speak, what is your request.

 

Shi Cheng and Kong An were sitting across from each other drinking tea, the atmosphere was ripe for making requests.

Kong An smiled and said, “I didn’t lie to you, for you this is indeed a trivial matter, I am interested in one of your composition department students, and want to bring him to our art department.”

 

That’s it?

 

Shi Cheng was in a very good mood at the moment, he replied directly: “Don’t just talk about one student, even if you want three students, I would agree. However, regarding the parents’ side, you have to handle it yourself. After all, this concerns the student’s future, it’s no joking matter.”

 

You said it, I will deal with the parents.

 

Kong An said seriously: “It’s for this student’s future that I have the audacity to ask you for him. The painting talent of that student in your composition department is extraordinary. Once he comes to our art department, I intend to teach him myself!”

 

Do you rate him that highly?

 

Shi Cheng was genuinely surprised. Considering Kong An’s status in the field of painting, not any ordinary student would attract this old friend’s interest.

 

Then I must help you!

 

Shi Cheng said very seriously, if he didn’t help with this favor, he himself would feel guilty: “What’s the name of the student you want, I will call him over, and you can talk face to face.”

 

You probably don’t know him, after all, there are too many students in your composition department, that kid is from class five.”

 

Class five…

 

Shi Cheng’s heart skipped a beat, and then felt that he was making a mountain out of a molehill.

What were the chances, right?

He still had a smile on his face: “I didn’t ask for the class, say the name.

 

Kong An uttered two words: “Lin Yuan.

 

Shi Cheng’s smile froze on his face.

Kong An didn’t notice Shi Cheng’s expression.

He took a sip of tea, laughed and patted Shi Cheng on the shoulder: “Still, my old pal, you are easy to talk to, I thank you in advance for this. With you, the head of the composition department, speaking up, Lin Yuan surely won’t refuse.”

Shi Cheng said: “Did I agree?”

Kong An was taken aback: “You did agree.

 

Shi Cheng waved his hand: “Don’t blabber nonsense, brother is brother, about the transfer, when did I agree?”

 

That’s not playing fair.

 

Kong An wasn’t happy: “Keeping Lin Yuan here is a waste of talent.

 

Shi Cheng suddenly felt enraged on hearing this: “Lin Yuan going to your Art Department is wasting his talent!”

 

What! You’re getting riled up now?” Kong An stood up.

Shi Cheng also stood up: “What about me? You are clearly the one crossing the line, asking me for Lin Yuan as soon as you open your mouth, I’m telling you Lin Yuan is not available to you!”

 

Why not?

 

 

No reason.

 

 

What gives you the right to say that?

 

 

He’s a… Anyway, you don’t understand, Lin Yuan is a talent in our composition faculty. Without him, we wouldn’t even compare to East Art!

 

 

I’m getting aggravated with you!

 

Get aggravated for all I care. You can have anyone but Lin Yuan. Even if you argue until the end of time today, I will not give him up!”

 

Shi Cheng was visibly agitated.

What a move, asking for Xian Yu the moment you start speaking. 01′ Kong, are you trying to cut off the lifeblood of my music composition faculty?!

We’ve been brothers for so many years and I can’t even ask you for someone?” Kong An glared at Shi Cheng.

 

Shi Cheng yelled back: “Blood brothers always settle things clearly, have you considered my feelings when you asked me for Lin Yuan?”

Kong An threatened: “If you don’t give him up, I won’t be your brother anymore!”

Shi Cheng smirked: “Then we shall cease being brothers!

 

Kong An was dumbfounded.

Are we no longer brothers?

Enraged, he blurted out: “Are our years of friendship less important than Lin Yuan?”

You should ask yourself why you want Lin Yuan. I even suspect you’re a spy sent by East Art, who has been secretly infiltrating our school all this time. After all, Lin Yuan belongs to my composition faculty, no one can take him away!

 

“You…

 

The argument between the two became more and more fierce.

Their assistants rushed in to break it up, but instead, they got scolded and sent out.

Left alone, they both sighed:

 

Should we call the principal?

 

 

There’s nothing else we can do.

 

Ten minutes later, Principal Shi Huainan rushed over, and as soon as he entered the door, he asked, “What’s going on here? Weren’t they as close as brothers? Why are they suddenly arguing?”

The two assistants chuckled bitterly: “If you didn’t come, they might be physically fighting by now.”

Shi Huainan was exasperated: “Ridiculous!

 

He pushed the office door open, only to see Shi Cheng and Kong An glaring at each other, neither of them paying any attention to the other.

Defeated, he asked: “What’s the matter?

 

Both of them were part of the school leadership, and Shi Cheng was even his relative. As the principal, he couldn’t just start scolding without making sure of what had happened.

 

It’s about Lin Yuan.

 

Kong An irritatedly said, “I mentioned to the principal last time that Lin Yuan from the music composition faculty is an artistic genius. If he can join our faculty of art, I can confidently elevate our school’s art faculty!”

 

That talented?

 

Shi Huainan was astounded. He remembered that Kong An had highly praised the student named Lin Yuan last time, but he didn’t expect his praise this time to be even higher!

Is he still a student?

 

I am not exaggerating.” Kong An insisted.

Shi Huainan glanced at Shi Cheng: “So…

 

Shi Cheng cut him off: “Cousin.

 

Shi Huainan waved his hands: “Stop, call me Principal.

 

Shi Cheng’s chest heaved slightly, and he whispered a few words into Shi Huainan’s ear.

Shi Huainan’s face changed: “What? Is it true?

 

Shi Cheng asserted: “Absolutely! 01′ Zhou told me himself!

 

Shi Huainan’s expression fluctuated rapidly, finally bursting into a hearty laugh.

Why is he laughing like that?

Kong An suspiciously asked: “Is the principal being biased?

 

Shi Huainan would have liked to punch him: “Am I that kind of person?

Kong An hummed but remained silent.

After a moment’s thought, Shi Huainan said: “Let him stay in the composition faculty. Kong, you said so yourself, Lin Yuan teaches painting in the art club even though he’s in the composition department.”

“But…

Shi Huainan brought down the gavel: “No buts, I make the rules in this school. However, Shi Cheng, you better watch out. If Lin Yuan makes any kind of mistake in your department, you’re done.”

 

You can count on me, Principal!

Shi Cheng’s chest thudded with determination.

Just when Kong An wanted to say something, the principal had already hurriedly left. Who knows why he was in such a hurry?

 

No need to escort.

Shi Cheng didn’t even spare Kong An a glance.

Kong An snorted: “Just you wait.

 

He stormed off.

The ship of friendship had capsized.
