"Haven't you read the media reports? Everyone speaks highly of that sculpture!"
Lu Xue was so exhausted that she lay on the table and simply couldn't be bothered to respond.
Seeing Lu Xue's reaction, Yan Hua thought she hadn't read those reports and didn't know how the critics had commented on it.
Determined to make Lu Xue recognize her own value, he simply pulled a chair over and sat down beside her, then patiently started to persuade her.
"Maybe you just casually repaired that exhibit at that time and didn't take it too seriously. But you don't know that the final effect of the exhibit is really good! The company has now discovered your potential artistic talent and thinks it can cultivate you well."
"I think I'll make a detailed list of further - education courses for you later. You should sign up for the right courses and learn what you need to. I'll also invite one or two famous teachers to guide you, and then assign you to our company's project team for in - depth cultivation..."
Lu Xue interrupted Yan Hua, "Can I take a rest now?"
Yan Hua got anxious, "I don't understand why you're not at all tempted! This is such a great opportunity. Maybe from now on, you'll be able to showcase your talent in the art field!"
Lu Xue thought she probably couldn't get her nap. She stood up and walked straight out, with Yan Hua chattering behind her.
"Don't be so skeptical. Although you haven't achieved much yet, it doesn't mean you'll always be a nobody. Everyone's life has the possibility of a turning point!"
With a "bang", Lu Xue closed the door. Yan Hua, who was following behind, almost got his nose hit.
He stood outside the door, looking a bit aggrieved, and silently sighed in his heart.
It seems that it's really hard to manage interns these days. Young people are too proud and haven't experienced the harshness of society.
...
In a remote mountain village, a strange girl had suddenly appeared and was knocking on doors one by one.
A vegetable vendor, carrying a shoulder pole and just returning from the county town, passed by the girl and couldn't help but take a second look.
The girl's outfit was really out of place. Compared with the simple and old clothes of the other villagers, this girl was wearing a spotless, extremely shiny white dress from head to toe, with a few glittering jewels at the collar. It was obvious that she didn't come from an ordinary family.
But their village was extremely remote, and basically only villagers came and went.
What on earth was a girl like this doing in their small village?
The girl had knocked on the door of the third house. There was a dog in the yard of that house. As soon as she knocked, the wolf - dog started to growl ferociously, scaring Ding Muyun outside quite a bit.
Soon, the people inside the house walked through the yard and opened the door.
The person who opened the door was stunned to see a wealthy - looking, exquisitely and stylishly dressed girl standing there.
"Little girl, what do you want from our family?"
"Hello, I'm here to ask you about someone." Ding Muyun spoke politely and gently.
"Do you know the little girl who used to live in the yard at No. 52?"
The other person glanced in the direction of that yard and immediately understood.
"Oh, you mean Lu Xue! I know her. We're neighbors living in the same alley. We often bump into each other when we go out."
Ding Muyun's eyes brightened slightly.
"Then how much do you know about this Miss Lu Xue?"
Perhaps because Ding Muyun's attitude was a bit too eager, the homeowner felt a slight sense of wariness. He sized Ding Muyun up and down and asked,
"Why do you suddenly come to ask about Lu Xue? Who are you to her?"
Ding Muyun smiled and quickly replied, "Don't misunderstand. I'm a friend of hers. I came all the way from a far - away place to visit her this time, but unexpectedly, I found she wasn't at home. Do you know when she'll be back?"
The homeowner shook his head, as if recalling something, and said, "I'm not sure about that. She left more than half a month ago and hasn't come back yet. But this kind of thing happens often, so you don't need to worry too much. If it doesn't work out, you can come back later."
Ding Muyun kept smiling on the surface, but in her heart, she memorized all the information the homeowner had said.
She tentatively asked again, "Does Lu Xue often stay away from home for a long time? Do you know where she goes? Does she go alone or with someone?"
The homeowner shook his head, "We don't know about that. Although we live close to each other, I don't keep track of other people's business every day."
Ding Muyun wanted to ask a few more questions to get more information from the homeowner.
But at this moment, the water boiling in the homeowner's house started to steam. The homeowner was in a hurry to go back and didn't entertain Ding Muyun anymore. He just waved his hand and said, "Anyway, she won't be here for a while. You can go back this time and come again later."
Ding Muyun was a bit disappointed. Seeing that the homeowner had quickly closed the door and gone back to do housework, she had no choice but to turn around and knock on the door of the fourth house.
