The Little Brat’s Sweet And Sassy - Chapter 1186

1186 Probing

Wei Songze replied almost instantly.

[ Since Sister Li has instructed me, I’ll just have to ensure that I’m free! ]

It was really rare that Sister Li would actually take the initiative to ask him for help.

Shen Li typed.

[ Please help me send a painting to the National Art Association. ]

…

The next afternoon, at the National Art Association.

Shi Yang was sitting behind his desk, reading some files.

The assistant knocked on the door and walked in.

“Mr. Shi Yang, the event you were supposed to attend today has been canceled.”

Shi Yang did not even look up. He only said, “Hmm.”

Recently, the National Art Association had been very busy. As the Vice President, it was even more so for him.

Hence, some of the less important activities were canceled.

However, Shi Yang was not concerned about that.

The assistant asked again, “Also, your horse was sent to the Huayue Racecourse in the Capital yesterday.”

It was a high-end private equestrian club and was a very suitable place where owners could put their horses to be cared for. However, it was very expensive.

Shi Yang said indifferently, “I know.”

There was no emotion in his voice.

“Won’t… you be going to take a look?” the assistant asked hesitantly.

After all, he had spent a lot of money to buy it, and now it had suddenly been delivered to the Capital. He had thought Shi Yang would plan to go there soon.

Shi Yang raised his eyes and glanced at him.

The assistant suddenly felt a chill in his heart and quickly said, “I’m… I’m sorry! Mr. Shi Yang, I didn’t mean anything by that!”

It was up to Shi Yang whether to go or not. He was just an assistant. What right did he have to say anything?

Shi Yang withdrew his gaze and said calmly, “There’s no hurry.”

He had no interest in the horse, but…

When the assistant heard that he was not angry, his heart finally relaxed a little.

“Yes, yes!”

Just then, there was a commotion outside.

Shi Yang frowned slightly.

The assistant quickly said, “I’ll go and see what’s going on!”

As he spoke, he opened the door and saw a few people in the corridor, walking over.

Shi Yang was the vice-president of the National Art Association and a master of Chinese art, so the offices next to him were all related to Chinese art.

At this moment, there were a few people walking over to the door of the office that was diagonally opposite.

The person walking in front was a woman in her forties. She had taken good care of herself and was very elegant.

It was the owner of the office diagonally across from him, Li Zhi, who was also very famous in the field of traditional Chinese painting.

Shen Li was standing beside her.

There was a young and handsome man behind her who seemed to be a college student.

However, he exuded a slight ruffian aura from head to toe, and the commotion from before seemed to have come from him.

Li Zhi smiled and greeted him, “Assistant Song.”

Song Miao hurriedly said, “Teacher Li.”

Li Zhi looked behind the half-closed door. “Is Teacher Shi Yang still busy?”

“Yes,” Song Miao replied.

Shi Yang heard the conversation outside the door, but he did not pay much attention to it. He continued to read the materials in his hand.

Suddenly, a familiar voice sounded out.

“My friend spoke a little too loudly just now. I hope he didn’t disturb Teacher Shi Yang?”

Shi Yang paused and looked up.

Song Miao was standing by the door, so he could not see what was going on outside, but he knew that Shen Li had arrived.

Shen Li’s question made Song Miao feel a little awkward.

That was why he had come over to see what was going on. After all, the people in the National Art Association knew that Shi Yang’s office was there so they would usually pay attention to him.

Who would have known that it would be Shen Li and the boy next to her… Had she said that he was her friend?

He forced a smile and said, “No…”

“No, he didn’t.”

Song Miao had just opened his mouth when a gentle voice came from behind him.

He was shocked and subconsciously turned around. He saw Shi Yang walking over.

Shi Yang nodded to Li Zhi, then looked at Shen Li and said with a faint smile, “I was just saying that the voice sounded familiar.”

“Mr. Shi Yang.” Shen Li nodded politely and said to Wei Songzhe, “This is Mr. Shi Yang. I’m sure you have heard of him.”

Wei Songzhe revealed a bright smile.

“I’ve heard of him! I’ve seen him once from afar in school!”

Shi Yang sized him up.

“This is…”

“This is my friend, Wei Songze. He’s also a student at Xijing Art School.” Shen Li explained.

Shi Yang understood and said, “I remember that Elder Yu didn’t come to the art association today?”

“We’re not here to look for Senior Brother.” Shen Li smiled. “I’m here to ask Teacher Li for some help in looking at a painting.”

Shi Yang noticed that Wei Songze was carrying a picture frame.

Wei Songze scratched his head in embarrassment.

“I have a friend who recently drew a painting and wanted to send it over to the National Art Association to get their help in auctioning it. It wasn’t easy to make an appointment with Teacher Li, but my friend hasn’t been feeling well these few days and has been hospitalized. So, he asked me to make the trip and send this painting over for Teacher Li to take a look.”

This was a necessary process for a painting to be auctioned off by the National Art Association.

Shi Yang smiled.

“I see.”

Shen Li was probably the one who had pulled the strings to arrange for the appointment.

Li Zhi was also very famous in the painting world, so it was not easy to ask for her help to look at the painting.

However, Shen Li was Mei Yanqing’s last disciple, so she was more senior than Li Zhi.

Of course, Li Zhi had to show her respect.

Li Zhi pushed open the office door.

“Ah Li, Ah Wei, please come in. ”

Wei Songze moved closer to Shen Li and whispered, “I didn’t expect to meet Teacher Shi Yang here!”

His voice seemed to be very loud. Even though he had lowered his voice, his words were still clearly heard by everyone present.

The shock and admiration in his words were even more obvious.

That was normal. Many people had the same reaction when they saw Shi Yang.

Shen Li stared at him. Wei Songze finally realized that he was being too boisterous and coughed awkwardly.

“It isn’t… I mean, Mr. Shi Xiang my classmate’s idol…”

Li Zhi saw this and laughed.

“Actually, Mr. Shi Yang is a very nice person. You don’t have to be so nervous. Since your classmate is Teacher Shi Yang’s fan and he’s here, why don’t you ask him to come and take a look?”

Shi Yang was gentle and refined, and he had a good relationship with them, so Li Zhi naturally suggested this.

Shen Li hesitated, “This… isn’t very suitable, right? Won’t it take up too much of Teacher Shi Yang’s time?”

Wei Songze had initially been very excited, but when he heard what Shen Li said, he also became scared.

“Yeah… maybe we should forget it?”

Shi Yang smiled.

“I just need to look at a painting. What’s there to delay?”

Li Zhi waved her hand as she spoke, “I told you Teacher Shi Yang is a good person. He doesn’t put on airs at all. Lil Wei, bring the painting in.”

“Ah? Oh! Alright!”

Wei Songze reacted quickly. He immediately entered the office and put down the painting.

Song Miao looked at Shi Yang, asking for his opinion.

Shi Yang had already walked in.

Wei Songze took out the painting.

Shi Yang looked at the painting and suddenly froze!

Wei Songze said with a smile, “This painting is of a mountain stream in spring. I’ll have to trouble both of you teachers to help me take a good look.”
