Chapter 61: She’s a Saint
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Hong Minhua’s grandson was very disdainful and had no interest in it.
Hong Minhua’s grandson was very tall. He was very athletic and was particularly good at playing basketball. Girls would often come to watch his games. Some of them would even give him gifts. He was always surrounded by girls, and he felt like they were too noisy. Even his username was ‘Women Are So Annoying’.
When his father found out about it, his father had laughed at him, saying that he did not know how to enjoy his high school life.
Lin Xiaowan added Xiao Han’s contact information before she sent in a message. To show her friendliness, she even sent him a cat emoji.
[LinXiaowan: Hello!]
[Xiao Han: Hello. Teacher has already told me about your situation. When is it convenient for us to meet?]
[Xiao Han: You don’t have any foundation at all, right?]
Although Hong Minhua had said that Xiao Han was patient and had a good temper, Lin Xiaowan still could not help but feel a little nervous when she saw the second message. She was worried that the other party would despise her lack of foundation. What if the other party did not want to teach a stranger?
Lin Xiaowan’s back was very straight as she typed her reply.
[Lin Xiaowan: That’s right. I have no foundation…”
[Xiao Han: That’s fine. Let’s start by understanding different types of painting media. Do you have time tomorrow?]
‘Hm? His attitude is really good!’
To begin with, texting was not as good as communicating face-to-face, but when Lin Xiaowan saw the latest reply, she relaxed immediately.
[Lin Xiaowan: Give me a minute. Let me check.]
Lin Xiaowan had not been to the set for two days. The last time she called Gu Yuwu, she learned that she might be filming her scenes soon. She quickly called Gu Yuwu to check her schedule.
Gu Yuwu had not heard from Lin Xiaowan for a few days so she asked, “What have you been up to the past two days?”
Lin Xiaowan told Gu Yuwu about Huo Zheng finding her an art teacher. She laughed and said, “My teacher asked one of her students to teach me the basics. The student asked if I have time tomorrow.”
“Don’t worry. We definitely won’t be filming tomorrow. Today’s Friday… Hmm, I’ll speak to the director and arrange for you to come on Monday. At that time, you’ll try on your costumes and makeup so we can see if there’s any problem. You can get a feel for things first…”
“Okay, then keep me updated!”
“Alright.”
After ending the call, Lin Xiaowan replied to Xiao Han. They agreed on a time and place to meet. He asked her where she was staying and if it was convenient to meet at Nanhu Road.
[Xiao Han: Shall we meet at the studio on 77 Nanhu Road?]
[Lin Xiaowan: Okay! What should 1 bring?]
Lin Xiaowan had seen art students carrying huge bags with their easels and painting supplies in the past. She wondered if she should buy more art supplies.
[Xiao Han: It’s fine. Just bring yourself.]
After that, Lin Xiaowan had nothing to do so she searched Hong Minhua for more information. When the results returned, she was shocked.
As it turned out, the teacher Huo Zheng found for her was one of the heads of Shangxia Artist Association. She was also the vice president of Shengjing Art Association, and she had her own teaching and research office in Shengjing Academy of Fine Arts.
Apart from personal information, there was also a long list of Hong Minhua’s credentials.
Lin Xiaowan’s eyes widened in shock. The article listed Hong Minhua’s works that won numerous awards. The list of awards she had won was seven or eight lines long. Her works were exhibited both locally and internationally. There was a link to the photos of her paintings.
‘She’s a big boss!’
After looking through Hong Minhua’s works, Lin Xiaowan’s heart thumped heavily. She really did not expect Huo Zheng to find her such an outstanding teacher. She sighed when she thought about how terrible her painting was today. She did not even know how to hold a brush properly. She wondered what kind of benefits Huo Zheng gave Hong Minhua to make I long Minhua accept her as a student. Moreover, Hong Minhua even praised her.
Lin Xiaowan felt crying as the pressure on her grew. At the same time, she felt incredibly lucky. Fortunately, Hong Minhua had entrusted her student to teach her the basics first. 0then-vase, she would feel incredibly nervous about being taught the basics by someone like Hong Minhua.
Lin Xiaowan felt like she had taken advantage of Hong Minhua. Her students were all talented and likely fought hard to become her students. However, she was given a shortcut.
Lin Xiaowan closed the browser page and felt that sometimes people should not be too curious. Before searching Hong Minhua, she only thought that Hong Minhua was a very good person for accepting her as a student. However, knowing what she knew now, she wanted to cry but had no tears. She thought that Hong Minhua was not just a good person, she was practically a saint for accepting her as a student.
After a while, Lin Xiaowan thought about searching Xiao Han’s name, but she quickly dismissed the idea after two seconds and put her phone down.
‘Forget it. What if I find information 1 can’t accept again…’
Lin Xiaowan was supposed to meet Xiao Han at 9 AM.
After having breakfast with Huo Zheng, she suddenly transferred tens of thousands of yuan to him.
Huo Zheng looked at the amount of money she transferred him before he looked at her with question marks above his head.
Lin Xiaowan coughed and said, “This is your service fee. I hope you’ll continue to work hard.”
Huo Zheng did not know whether to laugh or cry when he heard these words.
‘Continue to work hard? What am 1 supposed to do? Find you more art teachers?’
Lin Xiaowan had transferred Huo Zheng the exact amount of money that she would be paid for her role as the goddess. However, she had yet to receive her salary. After all, she had not even begun filming yet. The money was transferred from the daily card Huo Zheng gave her. To put it bluntly, she had transferred Huo Zheng’s money to Huo Zheng.
Lin Xiaowan did not sound very confident as she said, “You can use the money to buy something for yourself to eat…”
Huo Zheng did not refuse her and accepted the money. At the same time, he decided to buy some cakes for her before coming home later..
