[✓]Spending the Villain's Money to Extend My Life

Someone Bought Them For Me

“Engagement?”

Zhao Xian was initially shocked, but most of her jealousy quickly disappeared from her eyes.

A regular family’s engagement with a prominent family?

She almost busted out laughing.

Then, it was either the rich man’s second marriage, or it was someone old and ugly.

Or, Gu Shishi made it all up!

“Wow! You mean you have a fiancé now?!” Ling Xiaomei, who was simple-minded, was envious, “Do you have a picture? Show us quickly!”

“Ugh.... I don’t.”

Gu Shishi didn’t even have the boss’s WeChat, never mind his picture.

“Well then is he going to come pick you up from work afterward? We want to see!” Even the experienced employees were getting excited.

“Ugh, maybe sometime in the future... eh, should we start the assessment?”

The boss picking her up from work?

She’d be happy if he didn’t get rid of her.

Zhao Xian saw the dodginess in Gu Shishi.

She found that very amusing. Just when she was about to point that out, she was interrupted by the store manager Liu Li.

Liu Li looked at the time, clapped her hands, and said, “Okay, we can continue this chat during our lunch break. Class is going to start at 10:00. Let’s start with our assessment before it’s too late.”

Once she said that, everybody else refocused themselves.

“We want to see how much you have improved after three months of hands-on experience.

“Today, we would like you to each draw a picture using the client’s favorite flower subject and do a mock session.

“Your target audiences are new students with no background.”

Liu Li explained the subject for the assessment.

The few experienced employees all found a seat in the classroom and sat down, playing the role of students.

“I’ll start!” said Zhou Xian matter-of-factly.

The first contestant usually got the best impression. It’s important for a teacher to be passionate and assertive.

Liu Li nodded.

Ling Xiaomei wasn’t the type who’d fight over anything, and Gu Shishi had no experience teaching students with no background, so she decided it was best for her to start from observing.

“Watercolor is a type of painting that uses a mixture of water and translucent paints....” said Zhao Xian, talking like a real teacher.

“Let me first demonstrate by drawing a lotus, so I can go over the different type of techniques with you.”

Liu Li, the store manager, and the other experienced employees all nodded in approval.

Zhao Xian’s explanation was concise and clear, and the way she drew was also very skilled. She was able to complete her drawing of Lotus in The Summer Time in less than 10 minutes.

Four to five bingdi lotuses, pink in color contrasted by their bright green leaves. It was, indeed, a simple foundation drawing and very suitable for someone with no background.

“Thank you, everyone,” said Zhao Xian as she walked away from the board and cast a glance over at Gu Shishi in an instigating way. “Would you like to go next, Shishi? There’s still a lot of white space left on my piece of drawing paper, you can just use the same one.”
