RETURNING FROM THE IMMORTAL WORLD

Chapter 226 - Chapter 230

Chapter 226: Proficient in Numerous Skills

"As long as you don't mention that request again, I'm fine with whatever you want to say. But if you ask me again, we might as well be strangers."

Huang Jie was angered. "Why are you so stubborn? I offered you a professor position in our Regal Classical Music Academy. This is a position that many long for even in their dreams. Why do you always refuse it?"

"I've already answered to this question. So I'll repeat it again, and this time is the last time. I really am not interested in music. I may play music occasionally when I'm the mood, but immersing myself in music for my entire life, is something that I can't do. I have my own dreams. I hope you can respect this choice of mine." Tang Xiu said.

"You..." Huang Jie was short on breath.

The woman beside her was astonished. Sizing up Tang Xiu, she pulled Huang Jie's sleeves, "Sister-in-law, is he the music genius you told me about?" And then said with a smile, "Hello Tang Xiu, I'm Zhu Xinmei, Huang Jie's husband is my big brother. I've heard a lot about you since she talks about you all day everyday recently. I didn't expect to encounter you in Tianjin City as well."

Tang Xiu nodded at her indifferently and then said, "Huang Jie, I've given you my answer. Anyways, I have to bid you farewell. Professor Hu, let's go!"

Professor Hu looked at him with a strange expression, whereas Le Baiyi and Mu Wanying also stared at him with foolish expressions. Even in their dreams they had never imagined that Tang Xiu would so blatantly refuse such a good offer of becoming a professor in the Regal Classical Music Academy. They all knew this famed institution, for it could be ranked in the first three music academies throughout the country. Numerous singers had graduated from there, many of whom were greatly famous.

To think he was offered a professor position! Could it be that his accomplishments in music were as equally high as his painting skill?

Bai Yu squinted her eyes and said with a smile, "Mr. Tang, Zhu Xinmei is our Lotus Blossom's VIP. She's also very knowledgeable in painting just like her brother. Since her sister-in-law is your friend, how about also inviting her to sit with you? Ah, please wait a bit. I also have something I need to talk to her."

Tang Xiu frowned. He looked straight at her and asked, "Her Brother? She's surnamed Zhu, and the guy before also has the same family name. Is she Zhu Xiang's sister?"

Zhu Xinmei was surprised. "Tang Xiu, do you know my little brother?"

Tang Xiu rolled his eyes and averted his head.

Bai Yu hesitated for a moment, as she then told everything that happened before. In the end, she solemnly emphasized, "Xinmei, I know you. You have a good integrity and attitude, but your little brother's character is kinda very difficult to deal with. That's why I already announced that he's forbidden from visiting our Lotus Blossom House again in the future."

"What a damn prick! I knew that he'd cause trouble because of his attitude sooner or later. Manager Bai, Tang Xiu, I really must thank the both of you for what happened, giving him a lesson today. This will blow his arrogance greatly, saving him from future trouble. Don't worry though. If he doesn't send the "Sailboats and Pavilion" painting, I'll make sure to break his legs when I go back home."

Upon seeing Zhu Xinmei's sincerity, Tang Xiu also earnestly nodded. But, he shook his head and sighed, "Doesn't matter if something is good or bad, it takes all kinds to make the world. This remark is indeed justified! Please don't thank me. As long as your little brother keeps his promise to send the painting, everything is fine!"
