Chapter 40 Her Dream (1)

The third day of Li Weiyi's second time travel was uneventful. Because both she and Zhang Jingchan had to go back to school.

At around 5 p.m., Zhang Jingchan called her and asked her to go to a coffee shop.

There were not many people in the cafe at this time. Zhang Jingchan was wearing a school uniform, with his sleeves rolled up to his elbows, sitting with his arms wide open. As soon as Li Weiyi saw him, she had the urge to prostrate herself and call him "eldest sister".

Zhang Jingchan said: "You sit at the table behind the screen. I have an appointment with your parents. They will be here soon."

"Make a special appointment to talk?"

"You don't want to hear it?"

Of course, that's what he thought. Li Weiyi gave him a silly smile: "Mr. Zhang is really thoughtful."

Zhang Jingchan put one arm on the table and hooked his index finger.

Li Weiyi obediently leaned forward.

Zhang Jingchan's face was very calm, and he bent his index finger and flicked her forehead. It was neither light, nor heavy, nor painful.

Li Weiyi covered her forehead: "What are you doing?"

Zhang Jingchan seemed to have done nothing and continued drinking tea without explaining.

Li Weiyi felt that he was actually a little different from what she had imagined before.

Not long after, Father Li and Mother Li walked into the coffee shop. Blocked by a screen, they only saw their daughter.

Father Li and Mother Li were very confused: "Weiyi, why did you call your parents here? Don't you have to study late at night?"

Zhang Jingchan: "Tomorrow is the monthly exam. I will take an early vacation and will not study in the evening. I have something very important to say to you, which is related to my life and future."

Father Li and Mother Li showed a little fear.

Their reaction made Zhang Jingchan soften his tone. He said: "Over the years, you have trained me, taken care of me, and given me a good living and learning environment. I have also been working hard to get into a good university.

I have lived up to your expectations. But I have been thinking about which path is better and more suitable for me."

Father Li and Mother Li: "..."

No, my daughter, who is usually carefree, suddenly became calm and mature today, as if she had a new brain?

Mother Li: "Daughter, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"

Li's father: "Have you encountered any difficulties? My parents only want you to get into a good university and get a good job in the future. You... don't think too much about it."

Zhang Jingchan: "..."

He was not used to being interrupted in such a rational and systematic conversation. He ignored the two people's digressions, held his slightly rounded chin with the back of his hand, and continued to talk at his own pace with dark and calm eyes.

: "Do you know what the average salary is for an average bachelor's degree graduate now?"

"How much?"

"4,000 to 6,000."

Father Li and Mother Li looked at each other, a little lower than expected, but okay.

"Generally young people only have a few options for their future. I have no ambition and a weak personality, so the possibility of starting a business is ruled out."

Li Weiyi cut lightly.

He continued: "The second way is to work. I go out early and come back late every day. I am under a lot of pressure, work overtime, and stay up late. I heard that many young people die suddenly and get cancer. I don't want to live such a low-quality life. And I grow up.

She has to be pretty cute, but she is weak and petite, and easily suffers from the unspoken rules of the workplace."

He took a sip of tea and uttered three words: "I'm scared."

Li Weiyi:......

Boss, do you look like you are scared?

Moreover, she has been working for three years and has never been subject to unspoken rules or encountered even the slightest bit of workplace harassment! Her male boss just wants her to work hard. She has no gender in the eyes of her boss. She is just a donkey!

But she still wanted to laugh. Zhang Jingchan actually said that she was cute, weak and petite. But she immediately realized that he was commenting on her, so there was no obstacle in her heart.

Li Weiyi pursed her lips and said, "Fuck you, straight man."

Mother Li: "Weiyi, you say that, mom is so worried, we... don't understand either."

Zhang Jingchan finished scaring them casually, but stopped talking. He took out a few paintings from his schoolbag and placed them in front of them: "These are my recent paintings. Take a look."

Li Weiyi poked her head through the gap in the screen. Unexpectedly, he found all these from her room last night.

"Is the painting good?" he asked.

Li's father and Li's mother didn't understand, but they could see the good news and nodded quickly.

Zhang Jingchan: "Yesterday, my art teacher took a photo of my painting and sent it to a well-known professor at the Chinese Academy of Fine Arts. The professor said that I was very talented. He heard about my results in cultural classes and strongly welcomed me to apply. This is the professor

The teacher has forwarded the reply text message to me, you can read it yourself."

Li Weiyi was startled for a moment.

Father Li and Mother Li read the text message carefully. Even they had heard of the name of the Chinese Academy of Fine Arts. What's more, he was a great professor, a figure they had never come into contact with in their lives.

Mother Li smiled: "Does that mean...you are more likely to be admitted to the Chinese Academy of Fine Arts?"

"certainly."

Li's father frowned: "But, do you want to be a student specializing in art?" Li's mother also became confused at once.

Li Wei's heart tightened - in the eyes of parents who follow the rules, there is a prejudice against learning art. They think that only those who are not good at learning should learn their talents.

Zhang Jingchan leaned back and was about to cross her legs, but she put it down midway and said, "Do you know how many college students will graduate this year?"

The two shook their heads.

"More than 6 million, nearly 7 million. This number will increase every year. By the time I graduate from college, it will exceed 10 million, and it will be even harder to find a job. Our family has no power, and I am stupid and don't know how to interact with people.

Sometimes I’m afraid I won’t be able to find a good job. It’s hard to support myself, so how can I support my brother-in-law?”

Father Li and Mother Li looked embarrassed. Father Li: "Don't talk nonsense!" Mother Li: "Why are you saying this again? Didn't your parents tell your sister to break up with that person..."

Li Weiyi was pleasantly surprised. Why did her parents switch sides overnight? She realized that Zhang Jingchan must have done something. It turned out that the dignified Mr. Zhang was also capable of sabotage.

Li Weiyi suddenly felt a sense of sympathy for each other.

"Learning to paint is different." Zhang Jingchan changed the topic, "If you have a skill, as long as you are willing to work hard, you will never be without food in the future, and your income may even be higher than that of ordinary graduates. The professor said that now is the Internet era.

In the future, the demand for this talent will be increasing. You can draw illustrations, draw movie posters, or go to animation companies to do design. If you want stability, with my academic performance, you can study for a master's or doctorate in the future and stay in the United States.

It’s not difficult to be a teacher in a college. Even if it’s a little bit close, becoming an art teacher in a high school would be quite suitable for me.”

These last few words spoke to the parents' hearts, and the two of them nodded quickly: "That's okay!"

Li Weiyi was stunned. She didn't expect that he thought more and more concretely about the future than she did.

Zhang Jingchan: "Then this matter is settled?"

Father Li and Mother Li: "Ah?"

Li's mother has been completely fooled, and her eyes are shining with smiles. Li's father is still hesitating: "But if you don't become a student specializing in art, you can also take the postgraduate entrance examination and study for a Ph.D. in the future, and stay in a university to become a teacher..."

Zhang Jingchan lowered his eyes: "My current results are that I am ranked 72nd in my grade. When I get to university, only the top few will be able to stay in school."
