The Daughter of the Enchanted in the Modern Age

Chapter 67

Although Jun Shiling said he would not take her, he brought strawberry cake when he returned to the manor.

After dinner, Xia Wanyuan lay on the sofa and ate her sweet cake. He's in a good mood.

"When are you going to take over Xia's family shares?" Jun Shiling had exited the study at some point and walked towards Xia Wanyuan with a stack of documents.

"Scheduled next Tuesday. Why?"

"The Xia family company mainly caused a series of follow-up reactions due to the outbreak of their funds. There are not many problems with the industrial system. I asked someone to do an evaluation. I'll lend you 60 million dollars. It will be transferred to your account next Monday."

"okay."

Xia Wanyuan kept the cake and took the evaluation report from Jun Shiling.

Jun Shiling naturally sat beside Xia Wanyuan and explained to her.

Xia Wanyuan had basically read all the books and magazines Jun Shiling had read in the manor. Moreover, Jun Shiling would explain things to Xia Wanyuan from time to time. Xia Wanyuan herself was a very intelligent person.

Subconsciously, Xia Wanyuan's many ideas were already in line with Jun Shiling's. He was even more professional than many of the brilliant self-proclaimed financial professionals.

After informing Xia Wanyuan about the organizational structure of the Xia family company, she picked out some of the Xia family's main projects and told him about them.

The more Xia Wanyuan listened, the more she felt that even if Jun Shiling did not take over the Jun Corporation, with his abilities, it would be a piece of cake for her to create a business empire again.

Two hours passed and the complicated company matter became clear and thorough under Jun Shiling's explanation. Xia Wanyuan had basically understood the core information of the Xia family company.

"You're amazing."

After understanding the basic situation of the Xia family company, Xia Wanyuan praised Jun Shiling from the bottom of her heart.

After hearing Xia Wanyuan's words, Jun Shiling's eyes flickered unnaturally. The corner of his lips slightly curved up, but he deliberately pressed down on it.

"I guess."

"No, I think even if you don't do business, you'll still succeed at something else." After living two lives, Jun Shiling was truly the person Xia Wanyuan admired the most.

Seeing the obvious admiration in Xia Wanyuan's eyes, the corner of Jun Shiling's lips, which he had just suppressed, could not help but warp.

Jun Shiling usually had a cold expression on his face, but Xia Wanyuan had never seen him smile before.

But at this moment, the corner of Jun Shiling's lips curved slightly, forming a beautiful arch. His deep eyes had a gentle glow, as if they were filled with a gentle moonlight.

Jun Shiling had excellent facial features to begin with. The smile on his face made him look much softer.

There was a burly bandit guy and knew how to look like a star.

Seeing Jun Shiling's smile, Xia Wanyuan suddenly did not dare to look directly into his eyes and shifted his gaze unnaturally.

"Mom, you ate the cake secretly and didn't bring me!"

Just as Jun Shiling was about to speak, the little boy suddenly ran down from the top floor with an accusatory and sad expression on his face.

Jun Shiling glanced at his son, and Xiao Bao suddenly felt a chill run down his neck.

Xia Wanyuan glanced at the half-eaten cake on the table. It's too late to cover it now.

"Boohoo, ma'am, you told me to go to bed while you secretly eat cake here."

Since Xiao Bao had cavities some time ago, the dentist had instructed him not to let the little boy eat sweets, so everyone in the manor had packed Xiao Bao snacks.

It's been a long time since he's eaten a sweet cake. Xiao Bao had already craved it, but when he woke up, his mother secretly ate the strawberry cake behind his back. Xiao Bao felt so guilty that he would cry.

Xiao Bao pouted his fat little face and there were even tears on his long eyelashes. She pouted her little mouth and looked extremely pitiful as if she was going to cry the next second.

"I didn't eat it, it's your father." Xia Wanyuan could not bear to see Xiao Bao like this. He found it funny and heartbreaking. In a moment of despair, he pointed at Jun Shiling.

Before Xiao Bao could stop crying, he looked at Jun Shiling in shock.

"Dad, you're evil!!!"

Sensing Xiao Bao's accusatory gaze, Jun Shiling glanced at the innocent Xia Wanyuan and snorted lightly.

"When will you stop having cavities so you can eat cake?"

"Hmph, bad father," Xiao Bao muttered furiously.

Jun Shiling stepped forward and picked up the little boy, "Sleep."

Xiao Bao struggled for a while with his short legs, but to no avail. He resigned himself to fate and leaned on Jun Shiling's shoulder.

It was just that his thirsty gaze was fixed on the strawberry cake on the table, looking extremely pitiful.

Seeing Jun Shiling and Xiao Bao climb onto the second floor, Xia Wanyuan guiltily took the rest of the cake on the table.

"Mm, that's delicious."

After eating, Xia Wanyuan returned to the room.

That night, a faint strawberry scent stuck to the tip of Jun Shiling's nose, making him feel captivated.

***

Since Elder Zhong did not have to attend classes that weekend, he agreed to meet Xia Wanyuan at home.

Xia Wanyuan went there early. There was still an hour before his meeting with Elder Zhong, so he spent his time strolling around the campus.

Xia Wanyuan inevitably walked to the education block. The teachers in the class may be preparing for the class. They teach in empty classrooms, occasionally writing a few words on a blackboard.

Xia Wanyuan stood quietly at the back door, listening to the teacher talk about literature and history.

Professor Zhang held a public lecture that was open to the rest of the country. He is preparing for the lesson seriously. In the midst of his passionate talk, he suddenly saw a person wearing a mask standing at the back door of the classroom.

"Student, what's wrong?" Professor Zhang stopped his lecture and asked curiously.

"I'm just passing by. I see that you teach well and want to learn from you, "answered Xia Wanyuan humbly.

"Then go in and sit down." As this public lecture was about to be distributed to everyone, Professor Zhang waved at Xia Wanyuan. Xia Wanyuan did not refuse and entered the classroom to find a seat.

With the students sitting down, Professor Zhang spoke with more enthusiasm.

Furthermore, this student somewhat exceeded Professor Zhang's expectations. After listening to her class, she gave many constructive opinions. According to this student's question, Professor Zhang revised his thesis.

"Where are you from the faculty?" Professor Zhang did not expect that students from other faculties had such high literary and artistic achievements.

"I'm not a student. I'm just passing by."

Professor Zhang would continue to ask Xia Wanyuan questions when the teacher's door was suddenly pushed open.

"Professor Zhang, the school leaders are asking you to leave immediately."

Professor Zhang put down his speech and rushed to the school office. When he returned, the class was empty.

When they arrived at Elder Zhong's house, he had something at the last minute and had yet to return. Madam Zhong was waiting for Xia Wanyuan at home.

Madam Zhong was a very gentle woman. Xia Wanyuan chatted with him very happily. Originally, Madam Zhong had received Xia Wanyuan at home due to Old Master Zhong's instructions.

After drinking tea with Xia Wanyuan for a while, she fell in love with this obedient little girl in front of her.

"Old Zhong, let me tell you. I was just in class. There was a very talented young man. It was unfortunate that the leader suddenly looked for me. I forgot to ask the young man's name."

"Don't bother about that talented young man of yours for now. I'll introduce you to a young man later. That's real talent."

After Elder Zhong finished with his work, he saw that it had already passed the agreed time with Xia Wanyuan, so he rushed home. He had not expected to meet Professor Zhang on the way home, so he brought him back.

"I think Old Zhong is back. Let's go out and take a look." Madam Zhong was chatting happily with Xia Wanyuan when Old Zhong's warm laughter came from outside.

"Sister-in-law, I'm here to load again." Professor Zhang greeted Madam Zhong when he saw her.

"Huining, is Xia's friend here?" Elder Zhong looked around but did not look at Xia Wanyuan.

"Older Zhong." A slender figure walked out from behind the door. Xia Wanyuan appeared before everyone like a lotus.

The first thought that came to Professor Zhang's mind was that he was startled by the appearance of the little girl. When she regained her senses and saw what she was wearing, she looked into her beautiful eyes again.

"You're the student from the class just now ?!" Professor Zhang exclaimed.

"Yes, hello." Xia Wanyuan was also a little surprised. He had not expected to meet the professor who had just given a lesson here.

"Old Zhang, the talented young man you mentioned earlier is Xiao Xia?" After hearing Professor Zhang and Xia Wanyuan's words, Old Zhong laughed.

"What a coincidence. The youngster I will introduce to you is also Xiao Xia.

"Come, come on, let me introduce you." Elder Zhong pointed at Professor Zhang. "This is Professor Zhang, a core professor in the Qing Dynasty's Art department."

"Old Zhang, this Xiao Xia is a talented young man I want to introduce you to." Elder Zhong stopped. "He drew the boneless painting."

Professor Zhang had seen all kinds of storms in his life, but this time, he was completely shocked.

In his view, it was impossible to draw that boneless painting to that extent without foundation for at least thirty to forty years. How old is Xia Wanyuan? How could he draw such a painting?

However, Elder Zhong never lied. Having just been in the classroom, Professor Zhang also felt that the young lady in front of him had deep knowledge.

"The new generation completely surpasses the old! I really didn't expect that the person who drew the painting would be so young."

Professor Zhang's admiration for Xia Wanyuan overflowed.

"In previous Chinese Art competitions, your work won the championship." Professor Zhang paused for a moment and looked at Xia Wanyuan regretfully. "Your standards are already high enough, but it's a pity that your qualifications are too low. Otherwise, I'll directly agree to let you go to the visiting professor from the Arts major."

Elder Zhong admired Xia Wanyuan and thought for a moment. "Old Zhang, why don't we ask Xiao Xia to submit some paintings anonymously first? When he becomes famous, we can recruit him to Qing University. What do you think?"

Professor Zhang thought for a moment and felt that Elder Zhong's suggestion was worthy. "I'll be going to the Painter's Association in a few days. Let me bring you the painting you made."

Elder Zhong had a complete set of ink and paper at home.

For the Eldest Princess from her previous life, playing zither, chess, calligraphy, and painting were commonplace. Therefore, there is no need to prepare anything. Xia Wanyuan dipped the brush in ink and started writing on paper, not even needing to draw a line.

He knew that Xia Wanyuan wanted to draw a black bamboo.

The first step of drawing a bamboo pole determines the layout of the scene. Xia Wanyuan used his brush to draw bamboo stems straight and clean, without pause.

Just by looking at Xia Wanyuan's punching strength and posture, Professor Zhang had already started nodding repeatedly. From this small bamboo pole, he could already see Xia Wanyuan's skill in painting and calligraphy.

After Xia Wanyuan finished painting, Professor Zhang looked at the painting on the table with an excited expression.
