No wonder she was able to win the first prize in the G Province provincial painting competition!
At this moment, Yu Hang even felt that it was possible for Chiang Xiao to win the first prize nationally or even globally!
Let’s not talk about whether or not this painting has some top-quality wild medicinal herbs added to it, just this painting alone, giving such a vivid and lifelike sensation, how could it possibly be bought for a thousand, two thousand yuan?
He felt that these prices would insult the painting.
No wonder Chiang Xiao had the confidence to quote a price of a hundred thousand!
Yu Hang suddenly felt that Chiang Xiao had moved another step away from him.
She is so impressive!
He had only scored one and a half points more than her on an exam, how could he feel pride in front of her!
He looked at Chiang Xiao, with eyes burning bright.
Chiang Xiao, what should I do now that I like you even more?
Unfortunately, in Chiang Xiao’s eyes, he is still a adolescent boy of sixteen or seventeen. No matter how intense his gaze, she doesn’t receive it.
Yu Hang would never know the gap of more than a decade that lay between him and Chiang Xiao.
"Have you finished looking? Put it away." Seeing their stunned looks, Chiang Xiao simply rolled up the painting herself, placed it back in its case, and tied it up.
Yu Hang noticed that even the painting case bore Xiao Chiang’s mark, hand-painted with an Orchid.
Chiang Xiao didn’t compromise at all; she attended to every detail, and made sure they were perfect.
Before even seeing the painting, just by looking at the case, he had already caught whiffs of the Orchid’s faint fragrance. He suddenly thought, could it be not the scent of the case, but from the painted Orchid itself? Or perhaps there was no fragrance to begin with, and the sight of the Orchid just led him to imagine it.
Xi Minghui, who had originally nicknamed Chiang Xiao the "Chiang Bluff Master", now held the painting tightly, refusing to let go.
"Chiang Xiao, today has really been an eye-opener, I’ve learned something new! You are too amazing! I’ve decided, no matter if this painting is useful or not, I believe in your painting, and will never say you’re bluffing again!"
Chiang Xiao smiled faintly, "I don’t mind whatever you call me, but there’s one thing now; you need to write me an IOU."
Only then did Xi Minghui remember the sky-high price of the painting he was holding, and his face immediately soured.
"I’ll write it." Yu Hang took the paper and pen handed over by Chiang Xiao.
"We’ll give a thousand yuan now, and the rest will be paid over five years!" Yu Hang said while writing, "Chiang Xiao, you haven’t charged us interest?"
Xi Minghui nearly wanted to kick him.
Who asks for interest voluntarily?
Chiang Xiao hadn’t mentioned it; a hundred thousand was already making it hard for him to breathe, let alone with interest – that would be the death of him!
Chiang Xiao saw Xi Minghui’s subtle movement and laughed secretly, "Forget it, let’s not include interest."
"Thank you, thank you, thank you for the mercy of Master Xiao Chiang!" Xi Minghui immediately showed a grateful and broad smile.
Right, from now on let’s call her Master Chiang!
Yu Hang handed the IOU to Chiang Xiao, "Take a look, is there anything wrong with it?"
Chiang Xiao took it, glanced at it, and put it away.
"Alright, take the painting and be prepared mentally. Think about how you’ll earn money in the future!" She waved her hand, smiling, "Take it slow, no need to see you out."
Hearing her words, Yu Hang and Xi Minghui didn’t know why, but they felt calmer inside.
Since Chiang Xiao was preparing them to earn money and repay the debt, wasn’t she very confident that the painting would achieve the effect they were hoping for?
They exchanged a glance, clutched the painting, and rushed out.
How could they wait any longer?
They had to hurry and deliver the painting back.
