Everyone in their third or fourth year there began to feel like they were completely overwhelmed at the thought of still fighting for domestic awards while their junior classmate was already participating in international competitions.
Li Jia seemed to be the most upset and struggling the hardest to accept this reality.
She always knew Xu Zhenguo had a Van Gogh Award recommendation slot in his hands.
She deeply understood his personality; even if it was his closest student, if their skills weren't up to par, he wouldn't recommend them!
But now, he'd actually recommended Yuanya!
Could it be that Yuanya's skills were even higher than his closest students?
That was simply impossible!
It was apparent to her that he had done this only to spite her after she had snatched away Yuanya's competition slot. That must be it!
Li Jia didn't even say goodbye to Xu Zhenguo. She just grabbed her painting and left without looking back.
