33 Hard To Compete!
Almost as if he was reading her mind, her phone rang and seeing it was an unknown number, her brows furrowed slightly but she still picked up.
“You! Have you forgotten that you picked up a master huh?” Master Wang Shu’s voice rang out as he scoffed at her disobedient nature.
As the elder, he had waited for more than two days hoping that he would get a call from her but she hadn’t even called to tell him she had seen the number.
Yet, even though he was angry, in his house currently, there were two old men jealous at the raw prospect of their friend’s student.
“She’s too good.... It’s almost as if it’s a master’s work.” One of them sighed.
“You didn’t give me your number.” Rong Yue replied without bothering to be polite. Initially, she had the thought to call him to let him know she had seen the number but realized that she didn’t have the number.
Consequently, she had forgotten about the old man and was enjoying his money on the other hand.
Realizing that what she said was true, master Wang’s temper reduced slightly.
“But that means that you don’t even understand the meaning of having a master. You should have gotten my number on that day.
.....
If you know how much people want this position that I have given to you, you would become a devoted student immediately.” He added arrogantly.
He was someone that even the capital elites were hoping that he would pay attention to and even though when it came to the capital, he wasn’t the biggest artist, his skill was still within the best and his words still weighed a lot in the industry.
Other than him and that other old man, everyone else had so many students, yet he had none!
One could know from this that his taste was incredibly high.
“I have yet to accept you as my master. Surely you can’t be expecting that I have to pay respects to you all day right?” Rong Yue replied as she wondered if this man was worth it.
If she had to call him every time, wouldn’t that be a burden?
Master Wang Shu was stumped for words as he heard her reply and immediately patted his chest for having the tact to come to his inner room to make this call.
He couldn’t imagine the embarrassment that he would have gotten if he had made the call in front of them after he had introduced her work as his student’s work.
“How can you be so unreliable and not stick to your words in this manner?” He asked with his breath increasing.
“This master has even added your name to the association as my student. How can you be like this?” As he spoke, his breathing became labored and it was almost as if he was about to faint and lose his breath.
Rong Yue immediately panicked as she imagined that he was someone that was hypertensive.
“I was just casually asking, of course, you are still my master, why are you panicking?” She managed to say through gritted teeth.
Fine! She would accept for this period of time, after this call ended, she would just block his number. She was sure that after seeing her work, there was no way he would accept Tong Yang with her old works.
“Humph! You said it yourself now, you are my student, I have recorded this call so don’t have any thoughts of changing your words later.” The old man said immediately, gone was any trace of someone that was sick and was about to have an attack.
Rong Yue was shocked and outraged.
This man had tricked her!
Wasn’t he too old for something like that.
“Dear student, you have gotten so obedient? Okay, I’ll be going off now, you can just call me when you are free..” master Wang added and the ended the call.
Rong Yue gritted her teeth in anger, although she had nothing to lose if he was her master, she was angry at being played like that.
“Don’t you worry, I’ll get back at you without minding that you are an elder.” She swore as she went back to her work.
Master Wang on the other hand was beaming and full of smiles. He had finally settled that girl. He would now go and make the registration while also pay a visit to her.
As her master, I have to find my student and make sure that she has no difficulty with learning right? As the thoughts were running through his mind, he already made a call to his first grandson.
Not only was she talented, his student was also an outstanding beauty, if he could get this single brat to accompany him, he could get a grand daughter in law and student all in one.
“How nice would that be.” He murmured excitedly. He had always wanted his descendants to pick up the art and enjoy painting and yet it had seemed like all of them had decided to not pick up the genes. Not even one of the younger generations was interested.
At most, one of them had picked calligraphy as a side passion. Now that he saw an opportunity, he was definitely going to try to snatch it up perfectly.
As he kept on thinking, Rong Yue who had gotten back to work suddenly sneezed twice and her face scrunched up in anger.
“I’m sure it’s that old man that’s talking about me again.” She muttered as she browsed through webpages.
After replying to all the work she had accepted, she switched off her computer.
She had heard from one of the cleaning women that they had a gym in the building and although she preferred outdoor training, training in the gym still had its own benefits and then for someone like her current self that still had terrible stamina, it was more appropriate.
She took some already bought gears and changed into them before leaving their house.
The gym was on the bottom floor, but instead of taking the elevator, she simply used the stairs and by the time she had gotten to the bottom floor from the 14th floor, she was panting heavily.
A young man and a lady that seemed to be his wife or maybe partner seemed like they had plans of moving in and were making enquiries. As the man saw Rong Yue’s face that was glistening with sweat and her panting slightly so she could catch her breath. His feelings were arosued as he walked to her mindlessly.
“Have some water.” He said kindly as he stretched his bottle to her. From where he was, he hadn’t seen her features very clearly but as he moved closer, he was stunned.
“So beautiful!” He thought in surprise.
It was hard for anyone to see Rong Yue and not have this thought. In fact, her face had made her stay at home a lot in the past and even made it that she didn’t have a lot of friends as she wanted since most of them were always worried about how she would make them pale in comparison to her if they went out together.
She had also left her modeling career early on when everyone seemed to think she was some vixen and had many tabloids call her a slut.
Out of exhaustion, she had given up and went back to just designing the clothes instead.
“No thank you.” Rong Yue declined politely and then stepped out beside him so she could continue where she was going.
Although he had been taken by her beauty the first time that but seeing how she rejected him, the man who was already sided to having girls throw themselves at him immediately felt vexed.
However, before he could say anything the girl that had come with him already made her way over. At first she is she see who her man was talking to as Rong Yue’s frame was small and was only seeing that it was a woman from the head that poked out.
Upon getting closer and seeing her figure and beauty, she immediately felt threatened and aggressive.
“This is a living area, why are you walking around here in clothes like this.” She scolded, her gaze fierce and aggressive.
“Darling, I just wanted to offer her water.” The man murmured as he shot a look of disdain at her.
Rong Yue looked at the two of them confused. She didn’t know if their brain was damaged as their actions felt abnormal.
“Humph! You are the kind one trying to offer help to a seductress like her! See how she’s dressed, it’s not hard to see that she’s here to seduce people and has set her eyes on you.” As the girl talked, she dragged her man with her while Rong Yue just walked to the side door that led to the gym.
As she walked, the young master kept glancing back at her subtly but was extremely cautious. Clearly, he didn’t want the woman beside him to see that he was looking at her.
“Let’s not stay here, if they have so many women like this here, it would be hard to have my friends come here with their partners, after all, it would be messy if she managed to seduce one of their men.” She said with self righteousness when in reality, she was also afraid that her own man would be seduced. After all, women like that didn’t even exist in the entertainment industry.
It was hard to compete!
