Chapter 74 – A mysterious buyer
She sent the nouveau riche 111 a private message on her way home.
[Hi, as the painting that you have purchased needed time to frame and dry, I will be sending it out in 2-3 days.]
111 responded quite quickly. [No need to frame. We can do it on our end.]
Eh?
Gu Shishi paused for a second.
Perhaps, sensing her hesitation, 111 sent over a new message.
[Oh, you framing it is fine too. Do I need to pay anything extra?]
Nouveau riche, indeed!
“No, no need. That’s included in the $30,000 and shipping as well.” Gu Shishi quickly responded.
The other end responded swiftly as well.
[Okay.]
Gu Shishi let out a sigh of relief.
This nouveau riche was pretty nice. His temperament seemed pretty mild as well.
She thought about it for a second and sent him her new WeChat account information and a link to her channel.
“I’ll be posting my new work in this friend’s circle. Sometimes I stream when I paint. Do visit me again.”
The other end responded with a [Mmm.] He was certainly a man of few words.
Gu Shishi didn’t think much of it. She then sent her new WeChat information to MeowMeow.
She had promised her she’d do that today.
After she had everything taken care of, she went back to the mansion and rushed into the dining room like a Tasmanian devil and started enjoying her late dinner.
This was the second day that she could stomach rich food again.
Uncle Chef seemed to particularly have her in mind when he cooked and prepared her favorite dish from a while back – bacon and spaghetti with white sauce accompanied with baked lamb chop.
The sizzling fat drizzling from the golden brown and crispy lamb chop and the spice on top of it that was dancing around visibly to the naked eyes….
She rolled a fork-full of spaghetti that was covered in white sauce and radiating the most delectable aroma that could make one drool.
SLOOO~~
With a roll of the fork, Gu Shishi started to feast on her dinner.
She had been having nothing but porridge for the last 2-3 days from her stomach issue. Now her taste buds that had been hibernating had finally been awakened.
Every mouthful was delicious. And every mouth full brought about the melodious sound of life being added.
Eating was indeed the number one happiest event in life!
“Ooooh, so happy~~”
She swallowed a mouthful of food and started taking pictures of the food in front of her.
As she was happily snapping away, she saw Siyi walking past her.
“Good evening, Siyi,” Gu Shishi greeted happily.
Yet Siyi merely nodded at her stiffly.
Gu Shishi blinked and noticed a corner of a dark brown shirt outside of the dining room.
The boss?
Yikes….
She stood up immediately and peeked.
Sure enough!
Huo Sishen was standing outside the dining room with his hands behind him, expressionlessly.
He was tall and well built. His presence was undeniable even when he was just standing there.
Gu Shishi thought about it for a second and immediately walked over with her fork in an attempt to brown nose him.
She had just received an amazing gift from the boss yesterday.
She must show her appreciation properly!
“Mr. Huo, have you had dinner yet? Would you like to join….”
She was halfway through before Huo Sishen frowned at her.
“No need. I don’t dine at the same table as others.”
In fact, as she was approaching him, the icy cold don’t-get-close-to-me aura was already radiating from him.
“Alright.” Gu Shishi did not push the issue.
She did, however, smiled at him before she turned back.
“I really like the giant teddy bear. I felt so complete with it. I even feel luckier! I sold my painting today in no time flat and fetched a good price at that.”
She was genuinely happy when she said that.
