Spending the Villain's Money to Extend My Life

Chapter 29 – Someone Bought Them For Me (2)

Zhao Xian’s voice stopped abruptly but, quickly, her look with filled with even more sarcasm.

“That much? Did you empty out all of your savings?”

They were only making $4,000 per month during the probation period. And one could easily tell Gu Shishi wasn’t from money from the way she dressed normally.

And suddenly she was able to upgrade to a $20,000 set of clothes?

Liar!

Zhao Xian didn’t even need to think that hard to figure that one out.

“Nope. Someone bought them for me.” Gu Shishi was an honest girl.

“Someone?” Zhao Xian was stunned.

Even Ling Xiaomei couldn’t help but gasp. The store manager and experienced employees all looked in their direction.

“Really, Shishi? Your boyfriend? I didn’t know you are seeing someone?”

“What is the background of your rich boyfriend? Why didn’t you introduce him to us?”

There were a lot of women in the art center, and they all enjoyed gossip.

Work hours hasn’t even started yet, and now all the more everybody had completely forgotten about the employment assessment.

Just the idea of a man who was rich enough and willing to buy designer brand clothes for a girl was enough to make every woman’s blood boil.

Zhao Xian took a look at Gu Shishi’s pretty face and jealousy flashed passed her eyes.

She had just found herself a second-generation rich boyfriend last month and feeling very proud of herself, but now Gu Shishi, the one who was ranked at the bottom of everything she did, also got herself one?

“Nothing much to share, just the engagement that was arranged by my family.” Gu Shishi turned her palms upward and owned up to it.

The truth would come out sooner or later.

She came to work everyday and came into contact with all these people. Sooner or later, they’d find out that she was engaged and living at her fiance’s place.

It’s better to just come clean now rather than when others found that out on their own. She didn’t need rumors that she was a kept woman, say from someone like Zhao Xian, who had nothing better to do.

“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.
