Reborn as the group's favorite, becoming the favorite of the rich boss

Liang Wanqing frowned when she heard the word Lin Ning, and finally remembered that her own Ah Qie had said before that her mother later remarried into the Lin family and gave birth to a daughter named Lin Ning. Although Jiang Qie had not mentioned Lin Ning much, perhaps because of his bad impression of Zhou Qian, Liang Wanqing did not like Lin Ning either.

Although he didn't like this girl, Liang Wanqing nodded and said, "Hello, thank you for liking me." Then he turned around and headed to the lounge.

How could Lin Ning miss such a great opportunity of the day, he said quickly: "Teacher Liang, please stay! Teacher Liang, I...I hope to become your disciple. I know it may be a bit abrupt for me to say this today, but I mean it. I am also participating in this competition, I hope you can take a look at my works and consider me." He bowed as he spoke.

Liang Wanqing frowned. She understood what Lin Ning meant, but she no longer accepted students. Even if she did, she would not accept Lin Ning.

"I'm sorry Miss Lin, I'm no longer accepting students. You should visit other Chinese painting teachers. Maybe they will be willing to accept you."

The smile on Lin Ning's face froze. Although she had expected to be rejected, she had never expected Liang Wanqing's attitude and outright rejection.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Liang. I'm sorry for disturbing you."

Liang Wanqing felt sorry for the girl when she saw her lost look. Although she didn't like her mother, she couldn't be too cruel. She said, "Good luck in the competition."

With that, he left the corridor and walked towards the lounge.

In the lounge, Aliang and Jiang Qie had been waiting there early. As Liang Wanqing entered the room, he saw the two sitting on the sofa, one of them was holding an idiom dictionary with an impartial look, and the other was scribbling with a sad face.

Aliang had sharp ears and heard the sound of the door opening immediately. He looked towards the door immediately. When he saw the person coming, his worried face immediately grinned, as if he had seen a savior.

"Teacher Liang! You are finally here. Let me pour you some water." He stood up and poured water. Seeing the person coming, Jiang Qi also stood up and respectfully called out, "Teacher."

After that, he looked at the diligent A Liang beside him and said expressionlessly: "You got six out of ten idioms wrong. You haven't been reading your books carefully recently. Don't hide it. I saw it a long time ago. Next time I will dictate to you, and you have to copy ten times for each wrong one."

Ah Liang immediately had a sad face and looked at Jiang Qie. He knew it was useless to beg her, so he had to change his target and pulled Liang Wanqing's hand, "Teacher Liang, please take care of Sister Jiang. She always punishes me to copy books. How can I finish it?"

Liang Wanqing knew it was about reciting the book again when she saw the two bickering. But she knew that Ah Liang would always recite the book after he went back, and he understood Jiang Qie's good intentions. In this society, it is always a good thing to read more books and have more culture.

Liang Wanqing sat down on the sofa and said jokingly, "Aliang, I can't help you with this. You'd better just memorize it obediently." Jiang Qie nodded at Aliang seriously.

After hearing that, what else could Aliang say? Besides, he was just joking, so he scratched his head and smiled. Jiang Qie and Liang Wanqing also lowered their heads and smiled.

The three of them exchanged a few pleasantries, and Liang Wanqing suddenly remembered meeting Lin Ning in the corridor, and felt that he should still tell Jiang Qie about it.

"Aqie, I just met a girl in the corridor. Her name is Lin Ning. To me, this name sounds like your mother's...daughter?" As he spoke, he looked at Jiang Qie's face and continued when he saw no change.

Jiang Qie had known for a long time that Lin Ning would come to participate in this competition, so it was not surprising that Elder Liang would meet her. The person Lin Ning talked about the most in the Lin family was Liang Wanqing, and he wanted to become her disciple, but Lin Ning's calculation was wrong.

He took the magazine beside him and said calmly, "Yes, it's her."

Liang Wanqing shook his head, sighed and said, "No wonder, this little girl, I don't know why, I just don't like her when I see her, she's too cunning and too scheming."

"That's not deep scheming, it's just black-hearted." Ah Liang took a bite of the apple, her tone full of disdain. She wanted to say something, but she saw Liang Wanqing winking at her, then looked at Jiang Qie beside her, shut up awkwardly, and laughed, "Jiang Jie, this is your first time participating in the competition in a year. How about it? Are you excited indescribably?"

Jiang Qie looked up at Aliang, turned the page of the magazine in his hand, and said, "I'll be excited when you have memorized the entire idiom dictionary." This sentence directly blocked Aliang from saying the next thing, and he took a big bite of the apple.

After a while, the competition was about to begin, Jiang Qie stood up, said goodbye to the two, and went downstairs. Liang Wanqing, the judge, was also about to go on stage, so he took the dedicated elevator next to him and went downstairs.

In the hall on the first floor of the exhibition hall, all the works of the contestants were placed together. Those whose numbers were called walked onto the stage with their paintings. Lin Ning's number was about to be called. Zhou Qian and Lin Hongkun were both present. Zhou Qian touched Lin Ning's head, adjusted her hair and collar, and after confirming that everything was correct, she smiled and said, "My Ning Ning is so beautiful. Come on, don't be nervous. Mom believes you will definitely get a good ranking."

Lin Ning took a deep breath and glanced at Lin Hongkun, who nodded at her. Lin Ning came on stage, and the judges began to score the works on stage.

Although Liang Wanqing didn't like Lin Ning, he still gave a fair evaluation and took the average score. However, the overall score did not reach the value that Lin Ning expected. Finally, the judges spoke. One of the male judges cleared his throat, considered for a while, and finally said:

"Lin Ning, your work is well done." But it was just well done. What is most needed in painting is spirituality, which is the soul that the painter gives to the painting. However, Lin Ning's painting has no soul, which is why the score is not high. Lin Ning has heard the meaning of the judges' words, forced a smile, bowed and left the stage. Zhou Qian and Lin Hongkun were anxiously waiting at the other side of the hall, and hurried forward when they saw Lin Ning coming out.

"Ningning, how are you?"

Lin Ning reported a score, and Zhou Qian and the others remained silent. Even if they didn't understand, they could tell from their daughters' faces that the score was not very ideal.

Zhou Qian looked at Lin Ning with some worry. She knew that Lin Ning had made a lot of preparations for this competition during this period of time. She wanted to say something to comfort her, but Lin Ning interrupted her.

"Mom, I'm a little tired and want to take a rest."

"Okay, okay, come on, mom will take you to the lounge to rest."
