Chapter 72 - Change Of Competition Rules
Panda Novel
“Jiang Man has already made her move. Is there any suspense in this competition? The first place will definitely go to Jiang Man! Think about it, hasn’t she won the first prize in every competition before?”
“Yeah, you don’t know about the paintings that she has drawn. It’s simply amazing! At that time, when I took a look, I felt that it wasn’t something that a human could draw!” If the first place isn’t Jiang Man, I would have killed my way to the judges’ house and see if they can treat their blindness!”
There seemed to be a hint of a smile in Jiang Man’s eyes. As she listened to the praises around her, she felt a little smug in his heart.
‘Heh, Jiang Li!’
‘Just watch how I bring your painting onto the stage!’

‘Who asked you to be so stupid? You clearly have a good painting technique, yet you want to waste it!’
‘Do you think that your little disciple can really beat me?!’
The principal continued to speak, “However, the rules this year are slightly different from those of the previous years. This year, in addition to these draft submissions from the auditions, there will also be live impromptu finals. All the judges will be present. The time will be half a month later. The students who are selected can prepare.”
Hearing this, Jiang Man’s eyes widened slightly.
She clenched her fists tightly and gritted her teeth, refusing to make a sound.
‘What the hell is going on!?’
‘A competition on the spot?!’
Meanwhile, the voices praising her in the surroundings gradually increased.
“It’s on the spot! How can our Jiang Man be afraid with her drawing skills?”
“Let’s wait for Jiang Man to amaze everyone with one move. When that time comes, her beauty will also be exposed. Won’t those people go crazy?”
…
During class, Hu Miao took the opportunity to slip in front of Jiang Li with a nervous expression.
“Teacher, teacher, what should I do in the finals?”
Jiang Li comforted her as he stroked her hair. “Do your best. Don’t put too much pressure on yourself. You will definitely win the prize.”
Hu Miao’s drawing skills in recent days were already very high.
“Heh, with your skills, you still want to win the prize? You’d better wash up and go to sleep!”
“That’s right. Why don’t you take a look at what’s in your head? What’s the thing you’re drawing? How dare you compare yourself to Jiang Man with such a stupid thing like you? Do you really think that there’s no one else in our school?”
“In my opinion, why don’t you place a bet and compete to see who wins and who loses? If Hu Miao loses, why don’t you make her kowtow and apologize to Jiang Man?”
“I don’t like her. She locked Jiang Man up in the studio earlier, and now she’s still so brazen?! Is she worthy? Doesn’t she know that Fox is a famous artist? Someone like her…”
Before they could finish flattering and trampling, they were interrupted by Jiang Man.
Jiang Man pursed her lips, her eyes revealing a bit of determination.
“I don’t really want to participate this time. After all, I’ve won many awards before. There are even city-level and provincial-level awards. I’ll give them to the newbies this time.”
After saying that, she smiled at Hu Miao, but there was a hidden meaning in her words. “After all, if I don’t make a move, I’m sure the newbies will have many more opportunities.”
When Jiang Man said that, it seemed as if Hu Miao really won the awards because she had backed down.
The people around her obviously did not understand her intention of rejecting to participate. Instead, they shouted even louder.
“How is that possible?! You are much better than her. How can you not participate? Did she threaten you?”
“Don’t worry. If she threatened you, I would definitely beat her up! Manman, don’t be afraid. You just have to be yourself! If you win the award this time, you will bring honor to our class!”
“Exactly, unlike Jiang Li! Her heart has always been toward outsiders! That’s someone from another class, yet she tutored her so intimately! However, Jiang Li’s own drawing skills aren’t that good, how can she compare to you?”
Amidst the crowd’s praises, Jiang Man clenched her palm tightly and gritted her teeth.
“Okay, I’ll participate.”
Her words were forced, and those who did not know would think that she was competing with the person who killed her father.
Jiang Li smiled at her. “Then I hope you won’t give yourself away when the time comes.”
In the following period of time, Jiang Li spent more time tutoring Hu Miao.
She taught Hu Miao’s drawing skills after school every day, so she was more strict with Hu Miao.
As for Jiang Man, she signed herself up for a crash course in drawing skills.
Although her original drawing skills weren’t as good as Jiang Li’s, they weren’t bad either. After all, it was a skill that the Jiang family had built up with money. Thus, her foundation was pretty good.
During this period of time, she had been painting crazily, trying to make up for her shortcomings.
When Jiang Man’s parents saw how hard Jiang Man was working, they were proud and showed off to everyone.
“Let me tell you, the champion this time will definitely be my daughter! My daughter has won so many championships before, so she will definitely do the same this time!”
