Daniel pondered for a few seconds and said, “Well, let"s not sell these paintings first. I have two of your previous paintings. Later, you can draw a few more paintings, and then we will hold a personal painting exhibition.”
Shen Qinglan had no opinion. Anyways, Daniel would be taking full charge of the exhibition. She didn"t need to do anything.
Daniel carefully collected the paintings, and then sat down, “By the way, Qinglan baby, someone was asking about your relations.h.i.+p with me recently.”
What Daniel said was ambiguous.
But Shen Qinglan suddenly recognized his meaning, “Shen Xitong?”
Daniel curled his lips uninterestedly. “Baby Qinglan, women are not likeable if they are too smart.”
“That"s better than being stupid.” Shen Qinglan said in a clear voice.
Daniel was speechless.
“Qinglan baby, how come Shen Xitong suddenly started to become interested in us?”
“Probably because of the birthday present.”
Daniel knew that Shen Qinglan recently drew a picture to congratulate her on her birthday and gave it to Shen Qian. As soon as she said so, Daniel understood.
“A few days ago, I received a phone call from a friend asking me if I knew a person called Shen Qinglan, and to also ask about my relations.h.i.+p with her. I guess it"s someone else"s asking something for another person, so I told her that we had a good relations.h.i.+p. Then I asked her who asked. At first, she hesitated and refused to say. Later, I asked her again and again before she would tell me it was Shen Xitong. How about it? Qinglan baby, aren"t I very smart? I wouldn"t have been able to deal with you so perfectly without also being advanced. I"m a genius.”
After only three seconds, Daniel showed his true colours.
Daniel didn"t know much about the Shen family, but Shen Xitong was the adopted daughter of the Shen family. He knew about their bad relations.h.i.+p with Shen Qinglan.
“Don"t mind her. And thank you for this.”
Daniel smiled, “Qinglan baby, do you need to be so polite?”
In the beginning, Daniel and Shen Qinglan were only coworkers, but now they have become friends.
Shen Qinglan slightly hooked her lips, “It"s not necessary.”
“Qinglan baby, returning to our main topic, you"re Leng Qingqiu"s business, could it be that you plan to cover up the truth about Leng Qingqiu"s business for a lifetime?” Daniel asked. At the same time, he was also a little curious. If it were someone else, it would have been announced all over the world long ago. Why did she have to hide the real situation, even to the point of not telling her family?
“Now is not a good time. We"ll talk about it later.” Shen Qinglan did not intend to hide it from them for the rest of her life but now was not the time.
However, Shen Qinglan would not have thought that the right time would come so fast.
Daniel didn"t stay here for long. He took the paintings and left. They were all of high value so he wanted to deposit them in a safe at the bank.
Shen Qinglan also left Shangya Park after Daniel left. Instead of going back to school, she went to the airport to meet somebody. At noon, she received a message from Yu Xiaoxuan that she had come back from Jinning City.
“Qinglan, I"m back!” At the airport, Yu Xiaoxuan, wearing a pair of sungla.s.ses, came running excitedly.
Shen Qinglan took her luggage and smiled, “Is everything going well?”
“It"s going well. I"ve finished. The director is sure of my performance. I"d like to tell you some good news.” Yu Xiaoxuan paused and approached Shen Qinglan. “I have officially signed a contract with Shengxuan. Now I"m an artist under Shengxuan. Starting next month, the company will give me special training.”
Yu Xiaoxuan was very happy, and Shen Qinglan was also happy for her. “Congratulations, I"ll treat you in the evening to celebrate your success.”
“Good, good, but this time I have to pay for it. I"ve already got the movie pay. Although it"s not much, it"s enough for a treat. I"ll call Shangtong and Wuqian. We four will have a good meal.”
“Good.” Shen Qinglan agreed, then asked casually, “Is it fun to star in a play?”
Yu Xiaoxuan nodded and shook her head, “At first I thought it was fun, but then I found that It was really tiring. In particular, Director Li Liqun was strict and had us start all over again sometimes. At the start, I was always scolded by him because I was nervous. I was scolded several times, and I wanted to give up.
But then I thought, this is my chance. If I miss it, maybe I won"t have such a chance in my life again, so I stuck to it.”
"I studied the script as soon as I had time, and I also consulted other people on the production team. Fortunately, the people in our production team were very nice, and they were willing to teach me when I went to consult them."
Shen Qinglan listened carefully and thought of the scene she saw in Jinning City. “No one on the set is bothering you?”
Yu Xiaoxuan shook her head. “No, the people on the set are all very nice. They know that I am a layman and I don"t understand many professional terms. They would explain it to me, especially Sister Anyue. Although we were only acting as friends, she would actually play with me. Qinglan, you know me, I was really happy and almost fainted. An Yue, she"s the best actress.”
Yu Xiaoxuan never mentioned being beaten on the set. Whether she forgot or didn"t want to make her worry, Shen Qinglan could only pretend not to know.
“Xiaoxuan, if you suffer any grievances, you can tell me. Although I can"t help you too much, my shoulder can always be lent to you.”
Shen Qinglan seldom said such provocative words. It wasn"t easy for her to say such words today.
Yu Xiaoxuan was moved, she hed Shen Qinglan"s arm and rested her head on her shoulder. “Qinglan, I"m glad to have been friends with you in this lifetime.”
Shen Qinglan smiled lightly, and the stars shone in her beautiful eyes.
Back in the dormitory, Fang Tong was not there, only Wu Qian, she was still lying in bed, there was no sound, and she seemed to be sleeping. There was still a meal on the table. It was already cold.
Yu Xiaoxuan pointed to Wu Qian"s bed and looked at Shen Qinglan with a puzzled face.
Shen Qinglan shook her head. She didn"t know what was going on.
“Wu Qian, are you asleep?” Yu Xiaoxuan gently let out a cry.
Wu Qian did not respond.
Yu Xiaoxuan wanted to shout again. Just then, Fang Tong came back. She was very happy to see Yu Xiaoxuan.
“Xiaoxuan, you are back.”
Yu Xiaoxuan nodded, “Uh-huh, you miss me?”
Fang Tong rolled her eyes. “Who would miss you.”
She suddenly noticed the unopened lunch box on Wu Qian"s table that was still where she had left it at noon. “Wu Qian, didn"t you eat at noon?”
Wu Qian"s quilt moved. Her voice came from under the quilt, depressed. “I had no appet.i.te at noon, so I didn"t eat. I"m sorry, I wasted your kindness.”
Fang Tong didn"t mind and she didn"t care, “Wu Qian, is your body still uncomfortable? Shall we go to the clinic?”
She didn"t have lunch, and she figured it was just Wu Qian"s period reacting a bit too violently.
