Chapter 11 Part 1

The most conspicuous building at the arts district was the City Arts Museum,

which was also the largest museum in Yang City. The interior of the museum was

designed by a famed designer from Parsons, with green artificial plants arranged

to match the classical white interior color. The inside of the museum was at a very

comfortable temperature, creating a natural exhibition space to showcase works

of art.

Even the reception area of the museum office was decorated in the same elegant

style.

The director of the museum, Yang Zhisong, signed the letter of commitment and

shook hands with Liang Zirao and her brother. Zhou Tingsheng reached out his

hand but showed hardly any expression on his face, somewhat out of sync with

the image of a businessman. It was the first time for Yang Zhisong to meet the

only son of the Zhou family. To show courtesy, he started chatting with Zhou

Tingsheng: "I heard that you were once a student of Xu Zang and was his last

disciple?"

When Liang Zirao heard the name Xu Zang, her face slightly stiffened and she

looked at Zhou Tingsheng.

Zhou Tingsheng didn't answer the question directly, instead he raised his eyes to

ask: "Director Yang knows my teacher?"

"Xu Zang and I were classmates when we were teenagers and we've always been

on good terms. I haven't heard him mention that he had such an outstanding young

man as a disciple." Yang Zhisong had used a few sentences to compliment everyone

involved. Liang Zirao also smiled to go along with the conversation.

Zhou Tingsheng, however, felt that the way director Yang spoke resembled a person

he knew in the past.

He put on a shallow smile: "It was so long ago, my teacher probably has already

forgotten about me."

Liang Zirao tried to give Yang Zhisong a more plausible explanation: "That was over

ten years ago, when Tingsheng was still a young kid. At the time, Mr. Xu wasn't as

famous as he is now and we were fortunate to have him come to our home to teach

my brother. It was a shame that my brother wasn't into it and didn't accomplish

anything. Later on, he joined the army and only retired from the army lately. He's

forgotten all he had learned and hasn't had any contact with Mr. Xu since."

Yang Zhisong was surprised: "That's such a pity. Nowadays, many wealthy families

at Yang City have invited Xu Zang to teach their children, but he has turned them all

down."

Liang Zirao acknowledged it, then changed the subject. After chatting with Yang Zhisong
