Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 2907: Chapter 2843: Infatuation

Ding Haijing immediately reacted, ”So that letter was very likely sent by someone from one of these organizations?”

”Yeah.”

”Got it.” Ding Haijing glanced at it, folded the sheet of paper, and slipped it into his pocket.

Jiang Xiao leaned back in her seat.

Ding Haijing looked at her again and said, ”I don’t think you’re happy because the investigation made this bit of progress, are you?”

”Mm, I got a call from Brother Xinian. He’ll be back in a few days!”

Hearing that Meng Xinian would be coming back on schedule, Ding Haijing and the others were also really happy.

Ding Haijing even let out a breath of relief.

”That’s good. With Commander Meng back to keep an eye on you himself, we won’t have it so bad.”

”How are you guys having it bad?”

”We have to worry all the time about what kind of trouble you’ve stirred up again, don’t we? This heart of ours is pulled tight all the time, there’s never a moment to relax.”

”Tch.”

Jiang Xiao went home, and then went to the art academy again.

Her exhibition was going to run for three consecutive days.

”There are still a lot of visitors coming now. They all really like your works this time. Also, up to now, six of these paintings have already been reserved.”

Director Jin poured Jiang Xiao a cup of tea and said, ”Just like in the agreement we signed before, private collectors will pay according to your outside prices. For some public-interest galleries, or institutions like schools or libraries that want to acquire works, we’ll give them a very big discount.”

Jiang Xiao had already agreed to this before.

Besides, the academy would take a cut from each painting; that was perfectly normal.

She already had it pretty easy—she didn’t have to worry about anything, the academy would handle everything perfectly for her.

”Alright, I’ll leave these things for you to decide, Director Jin.”

”Right, Xiao Chiang, what about that previous painting?”

”It’s fine, I’m dealing with it,” Jiang Xiao didn’t want to say much to Director Jin about that painting.

Director Jin nodded and didn’t ask further.

After the exhibition ended, Jiang Xiao invited a lot of people to eat at Fuxi Restaurant. Most of them were employees of the Capital Art Academy, and of course, there were also Ji Qin and the dean of the art school.

When they had all finished eating and come out, Jiang Xiao stood at the door watching them leave one by one. Once only she was left, she was just about to head toward the parking area when someone suddenly appeared from who knew where and blocked her path.

When Jiang Xiao saw who it was, her expression inevitably turned a bit cold.

Dai Zhongwen.

”Miss Chiang, I’ve been waiting for you for two hours,” Dai Zhongwen said.

Jiang Xiao frowned. ”Sorry, did you need something?”

”I just can’t figure it out—why did Miss Chiang have someone replace me? Was it because my photography skills aren’t good enough? But I consider myself much better than Brother Guo.”

”No reason. Maybe it’s because there are some habits of yours that I don’t really like.”

”What habits? If you don’t like something, Miss Chiang, you can just tell me directly. I can change for you,” Dai Zhongwen said as he stepped closer to her, eyes burning with intensity. ”Really, no matter what you want me to change, I can do it.”

Is this guy nuts?

Jiang Xiao stepped back two paces and said coldly, ”Stop. If you come any closer, I won’t be so polite.”

”Miss Chiang, I really like you a lot. I only went to the Capital City Pictorial Society so I could have a chance to interview you! Why are you treating me so coldly? And tonight you treated them to dinner—why didn’t you invite me?”

”Are you sick in the head? I’ll invite whoever I want, what the hell does that have to do with you? Get out of my way.”
