The Daughter of the Enchanted in the Modern Age
Chapter 237
Xia Wanyuan held onto the brush and drew happily on Xuan's paper.
In order not to interfere with Xia Wanyuan's work, they sat a bit away from her. They could only see his smooth actions and not the scene on paper.
However, it had to be said that when Xia Wanyuan drew, her posture and spirit were admirable.
"Old Zhang, if not for your strong assurance, I wouldn't believe that such a young girl was actually a master that made two department directors fight over her."
"Chief School, I didn't believe it at first either, but you'll know if he believes after seeing his job."
"I hope so."
She had thought it would take half an hour to an hour, but before she could finish her tea, Xia Wanyuan had already put down her brush.
"Done?!" School Head Yang and the two deans walked to the table in surprise.
A living lotus water painting was placed on the table. The ink has not dried yet, making the water droplets on the lotus petals look like they will drip. The smooth and moving aura reflected in the painting.
“Good painting!! Very good calligraphy!! That's great!" The head of the art department praised in order.
Not only was his painting lively, but his painting skills were also profound.
It was the work of Master Yuan Wanxia.
The director looked at the painting and then at the beautiful Xia Wanyuan beside him.
“This is too hard to believe. Master Yuan Wanxia was actually a young woman. The waves in the back completely exceeded the waves in the front. Young miss, your future is unlimited.”
At that time, School Head Yang also believed that Xia Wanyuan was Yuan Wanxia.
“We believe in you. Let's go and chat now.” Principal Yang brought people back to the office.
The head of the literature department walked beside Xia Wanyuan and discussed some questions with her. Xia Wanyuan's mind was clear and her point of view was unique, giving her a lot of inspiration. When he arrived at School Head Yang's office, he was already very confident with Xia Wanyuan.
"Like this. Miss Xia is indeed talented. ” Principal Yang looked at the others awkwardly.
“But he doesn't have enough experience. In addition, Miss Xia's age and appearance will probably cause a lot of controversy.”
Although the two department directors wanted to recruit Xia Wanyuan, what Principal Yang said made sense. After all, in his age, appearance, and status in the entertainment industry, hurriedly introducing him would definitely cause a commotion.
"What do you think?" Professor Zhang thought for a moment.
“Let's do the procedure first and let Yuan Wanxia participate in the school research project, curriculum writing, and so on. He will not participate in the teaching for now. Everyone has seen his talent now. As long as we give him time to gather some experience, we can openly let him teach in school when he gets results.”
As Professor Zhang said this, the two deans were excited. After all, they were busy right now, and the curriculum and research projects were severely lacking in people. If Xia Wanyuan could participate, it would greatly reduce their pressure.
Principal Yang thought for a moment.
"Miss Xia, what do you think?"
"No problem." Xia Wanyuan nodded.
"What department should he be in?" Both directors were worried. They both want this guy.
"If Miss Xia doesn't mind, you can sign both."
"I don't have a problem." In Xia Wanyuan's eyes, literature and art were one, so she didn't feel any difference.
"Okay, then we can sign the contract now." Principal Yang took out the contract he had prepared and placed it in front of Xia Wanyuan.
Both sides laid their hands on the signing area and the contract officially went into effect.
"Welcome, Professor Xia." School Head Yang put aside the contract and stood up to reach out to Xia Wanyuan. Xia Wanyuan returned her hand.
The blue sky outside the window and the white clouds within the room were filled with the scent of books. With both contracts officially in place, Xia Wanyuan has officially become a visiting professor at the highest institution in China.
"Professor Xia, we will be co-workers in the future." Professor Zhang sent Xia Wanyuan out.
“Professor Zhang, you must be kidding. If there is something I do not understand in the future, please guide me.” Xia Wanyuan smiled humbly.
“Your future achievements will probably be much higher than mine. I dare not teach you.” Professor Zhang smiled and said,
“I still have something, so I'll send you here. Qing University welcome you.”
"Okay bye."
After separating from Professor Zhang, Xia Wanyuan sent a message to Jun Shiling to tell him not to pick her up.
He returned to the manor directly.
The driver is still on the road.
The clear sky just a moment ago, suddenly darkened. It was summer and there was heavy rain. The pedestrians on the street were afraid of being drenched by the rain and hurriedly ran over.
Strong winds lifted the dust on the ground. A white car slowly stopped beside Xia Wanyuan.
"Sister Wanyuan, why are you here?"
"I'm here to do something." Xia Wanyuan was confused. Why do I meet Wei Zimu every time I wait for a car?
"Go in the car first. Rain will soon fall.” Before Wei Zimu finished his sentence, rain began to fall from the sky. Wei Zimu opened the front passenger seat door. Xia Wanyuan looked at the location of the driver. It's still a little far from him.
He opened the car door and entered.
"Why are you here too?" Xia Wanyuan glanced at Wei Zimu, who was still wearing an official suit.
“I graduated from Qing University. It was a school birthday and they asked me to come back and give a speech. I just got out of school and saw you.” Wei Zimu's voice was soft.
"Let me send you back."
"Okay, then send me to the west town apartment." Seeing the rain getting heavier, Xia Wanyuan did not want Wei Zimu to send him to the manor directly, so she told him the address of her apartment.
"certain." Wei Zimu started the car.
“I went to Continent M for a business trip a few days ago. The hamburger was delicious. I brought some for everyone. There's another bag next to your chair. Take it back and eat it.”
"Do you really like to buy snacks?" Xia Wanyuan looked at the bag beside her.
It seemed that every time he met Wei Zimu, he would give him some snacks.
“I promised a friend a long time ago that if I travel the world in the future, I will bring back all the delicious things for her. I bought it as a habit. Wherever I go, I'll see what's good first.” Wei Zimu was driving steadily as he spoke to Xia Wanyuan.
"Maybe," Wei Zimu said without reason and stopped talking. The rain was getting heavier and the water pillar smashed into the car window, letting out a crackling sound.
Shortly after, the car arrived at the apartment. Wei Zimu held the umbrella and opened the door for Xia Wanyuan.
With the umbrella in hand, Wei Zimu picked up the hamburger bag on the chair and sent Xia Wanyuan upstairs. The umbrella, which was originally enough to accommodate two people, covered Xia Wanyuan's head under Wei Zimu's deliberate tilt.
“Alright, Sister Wanyuan, I will return first. I still have something to do in the company. This is for you." Wei Zimu handed the snack bag over to Xia Wanyuan.
"Okay, thank you for sending me." Xia Wanyuan nodded, her gaze landing on Wei Zimu's soaked right shoulder.
"Thank you back. You are my sister.” Wei Zimu smiled warmly. He lifted the umbrella and walked into the rain again.
Xia Wanyuan shook off the rain from her and waited in front of the elevator.
“Aiya, why is it raining so hard?! Take a look at the limited edition bag I just bought. It's soaking wet. You as a manager cannot do that. I'll have to cut your bonus, you know right?”
“Yes Lord, is rain something I can control? If you want to cut my bonus, you have to walk over my corpse first.”
The two bickering people stood beside Xia Wanyuan, waiting for the elevator to arrive.
“Huh, I starve to death. Is there something wrong with that group of reporters?! Who saw me seduce that trash, Huang Tu? Is she even worthy of being seduced by me?! I'm so mad. I'll eat a big pot of meat to vent my hatred.”
Hearing this voice, Xia Wanyuan felt somewhat familiar. He looked and saw. Wearing hot pants and suspenders, she was as striking as a blooming rose. Isn't he "Medusa" An Rao from the entertainment industry whom I met after the awards ceremony last time?
Sensing the person beside her judging herself, An Rao glanced to the side and met with beautiful eyes that had ice in them.
An Rao exclaimed, "Eh?" This guy looks a little familiar.
It was like a child celebrity who took the initiative to give me a business card and wanted to use my popularity?
ding!
The elevator opened and Xia Wanyuan walked in.
An Rao followed.
The two of them went to the 16th floor, and the floor slowly rose. An Rao held back for a long time, but this little celebrity did not speak to him. He glanced at the calm Xia Wanyuan and thought to himself, Did I recognize the wrong person?
That's not true. I live alone on the 16th floor and this guy doesn't press the floor. He's gonna follow me. Other than that little celebrity, I can't think of any other reason.
An Rao took off his sunglasses and glanced at Xia Wanyuan.
"Who? Last time, you took the initiative to give me your business card, but now you're stalking me? What's wrong with you little celebrity? Why are you so immoral to gain popularity?"
Xia Wanyuan glanced at An Rao, who was feeling very comfortable with herself, and took down her mask and sunglasses.
"It's not to gain popularity."
An Rao frowned. Not likely? This guy is beautiful. I just said it casually. Could he really like me?
“This is to take advantage of your confidence.” After Xia Wanyuan said this, she walked out of the elevator.
An Rao reacted and looked at his manager.
“Did he say that I was narcissistic?”
The manager nodded seriously.
“Small girl, she's not the only one saying that. Actually, I also think so.”
An Rao rushed out of the elevator to explain things to Xia Wanyuan, only to see that she typed in the password to enter.
"You're the tenant on the left?" An Rao was stunned.
Didn't anyone come to live in this flat? He thought that he was the only tenant on the 16th floor.
"Is there a problem?" Xia Wanyuan turned to look at An Rao, her eyes cold.
An Rao was stunned. The aura of this little celebrity was quite strong.
"No problem." An Rao was a little embarrassed by his own wishful thinking and flickered unnaturally.
Xia Wanyuan walked in and closed the door. An Rao stood outside for a while before walking towards his door.
“Um, little lady, you are neighbors. If you want to be friends with him, please.” The manager followed An Rao in.
"Who wants to be friends with him??” An Rao glared at his manager. Unfortunately, she was too beautiful, and even her gaze looked seductive.
“I'm a great person. Can I humble myself to be friends with a B-list celebrity like that? Are you kidding me?"
The manager laughed.
Half an hour later, An Rao held onto a fruit plate and looked at his manager with a conflicted expression.
“Do you think it's appropriate for a big man like me to lower my status and send someone a plate of fruit?”
“He's your neighbor. So what if a neighbor gives you a plate of fruit?”
"That's right." An Rao took out a plate of fruits.
'Is he not just a neighbor? What difference does it make if I express my concerns to my new neighbor?'
As he opened the door, he saw Xia Wanyuan standing outside.
"What are you doing at my door?" An Rao placed a plate of fruits behind him.
“Will you sit at my place for a moment? Thank you for the last time.” Xia Wanyuan smiled.
"Who cares?" An Rao had just finished his sentence when he saw Xia Wanyuan's cold and spiritless expression. He suddenly turned around and looked extremely reluctant.
“I'll go and see it. I am always tired of renovating this house. I'll go and see your renovation.”
With that, he followed Xia Wanyuan to the neighboring house with a basket of fruits.
