Xia Zhuozhuo stood in front of the window, her eyes passing through the busy streets, but her heart was peaceful. "She should just be strolling around on a whim, right? After all, there are no valuables worth lingering there." She whispered to herself, with an imperceptible smile on the corner of her mouth.
"Valuables? Oh, those luxury goods? I never take them to heart." Xia Liu's voice was a bit silly, but sincere, "But I am always generous when buying for you."
Xia Zhuozhuo turned to look at Xia Liu, her eyes full of warmth. "Next time she comes, remember to change the password and don't let her in easily. As for now, you should do me a favor first."
Xia Liu didn't ask more, just nodded honestly. Xia Zhuozhuo handed him an address and gave him a few brief instructions. Xia Liu turned and left, with brisk steps, as if to complete a sacred mission.
Just then, Xia Zhuozhuo's cell phone rang, interrupting her thoughts. She glanced at the caller ID and saw that it was Si Shenxing. She frowned slightly, but still answered the phone.
"Zhuozhuo, you didn't forget our appointment, did you?" Si Shenxing's voice was like a low violin, with an irresistible charm.
"Of course I didn't forget. See you at the exhibition site in an hour." Xia Zhuozhuo's answer was concise and clear, without too much greeting.
"Then I'll pick you up now, and I'll bring you a dress by the way." Si Shenxing's proposal was somewhat unquestionable.
"No need, I'm not at home now, I'll go directly there after I'm done." Xia Zhuozhuo refused straightforwardly without any hesitation.
Si Shenxing seemed to have noticed her impatience, and his tone was more compromising. "Okay, call me when you get there, and I'll have someone pick you up."
"Well, I'll hang up first." Xia Zhuozhuo hung up the phone without hesitation and turned to his busy work.
Guzi hurried over with a document in his hand. "Sister Xia, where should I put this information?"
"Put it in the innermost room." Xia Zhuozhuo ordered without raising her head.
Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, there are only twenty minutes left before the exhibition. Xia Zhuozhuo hurriedly finished her work and asked Guzi to take her to the exhibition venue - the Future Realm Exhibition Hall.
Future Realm, one of the most prestigious exhibition halls in Shanghai, countless elites in the art world dream of holding their own exhibitions here. Xia Zhuozhuo has also received many invitations from the curator, but she has never been tempted. Painting, for her, is just a leisurely interest.
At the same time, at the other end of the exhibition hall, Xia Liuli was standing at the door with a little sister who was full of admiration. She was wearing a gorgeous dress and exquisite makeup, as if she was about to step into a grand banquet.
"Liuli, you are so amazing! You can actually let Master Zhao come out to pick you up in person!" The little sister's eyes were full of envy and admiration.
Xia Liuli smiled slightly, with a hint of pride in her eyes. "It's just a piece of cake."
She called Zhao Ti, her voice was a bit coquettish. "Teacher Zhao, my friend and I are at the door."
"Okay, I'll come to pick you up right away." Zhao Ti's voice was gentle and kind, as if a loving father was responding to his daughter's call.
Soon, Zhao Ti's figure appeared in the crowd. His appearance immediately caused a sensation, and people cast their admiring eyes.
"Isn't this the Chinese painting master Zhao Ti? He's here today!"
"He's picking someone up? I wonder who is so face-saving that Master Zhao can personally greet him."
Xia Liuli listened to the crowd's discussions, and a barely noticeable smile appeared at the corner of her mouth. She raised her hand and waved to Zhao Ti, as if a triumphant general was showing off his glory.
Zhao Ti walked through the crowd and saw Xia Liuli. He nodded slightly, and then came to her accompanied by two security guards. At this moment, Xia Liuli seemed to have become the focus of the whole audience, and everyone's eyes were focused on her.
"Isn't this Xia Liuli, daughter of the Xia family? She actually asked Master Zhao to come out and pick her up in person?"
"Is she Master Zhao's last disciple? Didn't Master Zhao stop accepting disciples a long time ago?"
"Xia Liuli must have an extraordinary talent for Chinese painting, so Master Zhao made an exception and accepted her as a disciple!"
"Wait, you mean the Xia family? The bankrupt Xia family?"
"Yes, I heard that the Xia family found their long-lost seventh daughter in the countryside a few days ago, and then Mrs. Xia drove Xia Liuli out."
"What?! The person who can be accepted as a disciple by Master Zhao , the future is limitless! The Xia family actually kicked such a person out of the house? "
"So the Xia family ended up like this, it's all because of their narrow vision. "
"I heard that the six sons of the Xia family are all useless, and I think the daughter who was found from the countryside is not a powerful character. Leaving the treasures and treating the rubble as treasures, the vision is really bad. "
"So, if the Xia family doesn't go bankrupt, who will go bankrupt?"
The discussions in the crowd came one after another, all of which were mocking the short-sightedness and stupidity of the Xia family. However, Xia Liuli didn't hear it, just smiled and said to Zhao Ti: "Teacher Zhao, thank you for saving a ticket for me."
, his ears were a little inflexible, and he didn't hear the discussions of the people around him. He stroked his gray beard and said kindly: "When I saw your painting that time, I felt that you were gifted. It is also my honor that you are willing to come to the exhibition."
"Teacher Zhao is too kind." Xia Liuli responded modestly.
"No prize, you are indeed more talented than your two senior brothers. I am optimistic about you in today's competition." Zhao Ti's words were full of expectation and encouragement.
Xia Liuli nodded slightly, and a warm current surged in her heart. "I will try not to embarrass you."
Zhao Ti smiled, with a smile of relief and pride. "There are many talented people here today, so don't feel too much pressure. Just do your best."
"Well, I know." Xia Liuli responded, with a firm light in her eyes.
Under the leadership of Zhao Ti, Xia Liuli and her little sister walked into the inner field together. The ticket checking time has not yet arrived, and those who are not well connected can only watch them go in with envy.
The design sense of the inner field is stronger than that of the outside. The suspended paintings, the colorful lights, the staggered layout... everything seems so dreamy and mysterious. Xia Liuli and her little sister shuttled through the crowd, admiring these breathtaking works of art.
Suddenly, the little sister pointed at the crowd in front of a suspended painting and exclaimed: "Liuli, look! Mr. Si is over there!"
Xia Liuli looked in the direction of her finger and saw Si Shenxing. He was wearing a midnight blue suit with a full sense of design today, with a shining obsidian brooch on his chest, and the whole person looked noble and elegant.
It is undeniable that Si Shenxing can always attract everyone's attention with his unique charm. But Xia Liuli knew that what she was pursuing was not these superficial glitz and vanity. What she wanted was real talent and strength-just as Teacher Zhao Ti recognized.
She retracted her gaze, took a deep breath, and said to the little sister: "Let's go and appreciate more works."
After that, she continued to shuttle through the crowd with the little sister, as if the scene just now had never happened. However, in her heart, she had secretly made up her mind-she wanted to use her talent and strength to prove to everyone: she, Xia Liuli, is definitely not a thing in the pond. Si Shenxing, no matter where he is, is shining. Even without the halo of the leader of S Group, her appearance alone is enough to captivate people and make them unable to take their eyes off her.
