Chapter 19: Being Appreciated



"Who is it?" Everyone asked listlessly.

Lin Ke tutted and patted the podium. "It was Mr. Luo and Mr. Luo. When I went to hand in my homework, I happened to see Mr. Luo and Professor Tao discussing buying some calligraphy and paintings at a high price and then sending them to a charity for auction!"

Upon hearing this, everyone lost all sleepiness instantly except Qiao Ruoxi who didn't raise her head as she was sleeping soundly in the afternoon nap. However, they soon lost interest again.

"Mr. Luo is one of the three giants on Wall Street. He has very high standards. How could he be impressed by our calligraphy? Professor Tao's calligraphy is just so-so. It doesn't matter to us."

"If that's the case, how could I say it's great news?" Lin Ke smiled mysteriously.

Lin Ke stood up straight and coughed lightly. "Grandpa Luo said that he would select a calligraphy piece from our living room assignments to auction off for charity. He also said that our young people's calligraphy is vigorous and energetic, which is also worthy of recognition. This is to encourage us!"

The classroom suddenly exploded with excitement. This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Not only would they receive a handsome reward, but more importantly, they would gain the appreciation of Mr. Luo.

To put it bluntly, the charity auction held by Mr. Luo is a preparation for returning to China for development. Several major families in China's upper class circles have long wanted to win over Mr. Luo.

Therefore, anyone who is well-known in China will definitely go to this auction!

If their calligraphy could be exhibited and auctioned in such an occasion, the selling price would definitely be high. This would be a great opportunity to increase their value!

Shen Suyun clenched her fingers under the table, her heart surging.

If she could gain the appreciation of the Luo family, then no one would be able to challenge her position in the Shen family. Even if the fact that she was not the eldest daughter of the Shen family was exposed, Old Lady Shen would still pamper her because of this relationship!

And her marriage with the Pei family was a natural outcome!

"Squad leader, has Mr. Luo taken a fancy to any of our calligraphy?" someone asked excitedly.

Shen Suyun immediately pricked up her ears, staring at Lin Ke's lips with red eyes, waiting for him to utter her name.

Lin Ke also felt Shen Suyun's gaze, and her cheeks flushed: "Is there any need to think about it? It must be classmate Su Yun!"

Shen Suyun stood up excitedly, her eyes burning.

At this moment, she seemed to see that Mr. Luo not only praised her calligraphy, but also admired her appearance and conversation. He even told Mr. Luo to pursue her and make her the granddaughter-in-law of the Luo family.

When the Pei family found out, they rushed over with a betrothal gift worth hundreds of billions, asking her to marry Pei Junyan immediately.

Old Mrs. Shen was overjoyed and gave her the Shen family heirloom, the Millennium Tears, as a dowry, allowing her to have a grand wedding!

Although the other students were disappointed, it was also within their expectations. After all, Shen Suyun had been the top student in their calligraphy department for two consecutive years.

Even Professor Tao said that Shen Suyun has a foundation in calligraphy and has been influenced by it since childhood, so her starting point is different from those of them.

"Class monitor, did Mr. Luo tell us how much it would cost to buy Su Yun's calligraphy? Let us broaden our horizons!" A classmate asked curiously.

Shen Suyun also came back to her senses at this moment, lifted her hair, and smiled sweetly: "Money is not important. No matter how much Mr. Luo is willing to pay for my calligraphy, it is an affirmation of me. I will donate half of the money to Hope Primary School. Please be a witness!"

When everyone heard this, their jealousy towards Shen Suyun disappeared.

"Su Yun is a fairy, right? If I had this money, I would definitely spend it on eating, drinking and buying bags, but Su Yun only thought about giving to charity. This is the difference between people!"

"People are divided into different classes. Some people donate money to charity, while others sell their bodies to make dirty money. How can they be the same?" Many people praised Chen Suyun while not forgetting to step on Qiao Ruoxi.

Looking at Qiao Ruoxi again, she was still sleeping soundly. I don’t know what she was dreaming about, but there was a slight curve at the corner of her mouth.

The golden sunlight shining through the window fell on Qiao Ruoxi's fair face, as if she was the angel who had fallen into the mortal world.

Realizing that he was staring at Qiao Ruoxi in a daze, Lin Ke immediately retracted his gaze and despised himself for a second.

But don't be fooled by Qiao Ruoxi's face, her goddess is only Shen Suyun!

Lin Ke cleared his throat again: "Mr. Luo said he is willing to pay one million for our classmate's calligraphy!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the classroom exploded again!

One million, an ordinary person can’t earn so much money in his entire life, even Shen Suyun was stunned.

She originally thought that a piece of calligraphy would be worth at most a few hundred thousand yuan, and she said that she would donate half of it just for the sake of face, so she reluctantly said it.

You have to know that her monthly pocket money is only 20,000 yuan. Although the Shen family is a wealthy family, the housekeeper is still Old Lady Shen.

The old woman said that she would only give the Shen family's children 20,000 yuan in pocket money every month, saying that she was worried about raising a playboy. In Shen Suyun's opinion, this old woman was stingy!

One million! The watch she had her eye on before was worth one million, but she had been reluctant to buy it!

"Su Yun is so kind! She actually wants to donate 500,000 yuan to Hope Primary School. Not everyone can do that!"

"Yeah, if it was Qiao Ruoxi who got this money, she would definitely not spend a penny, and might even use it to buy a bag!"

"What kind of bag should I buy? A fake bag to take turns carrying?"

Everyone started to cheer and laugh.

Shen Suyun smiled gently on her face, but she was gritting her teeth in her heart. What's the point of donating a full five hundred thousand to those dirty and smelly little brats? It's simply dirty money!

The discussion continued until the end of lunch break.

A little girl from the art department next door came over and knocked on the door: "Excuse me, who is Qiao Ruoxi?"

Qiao Ruoxi vaguely heard her own name, raised her head sleepily, and looked at the little girl at the door: "It's me."

The little girl was stunned for a moment and blurted out: "So beautiful..."

Qiao Ruoxi scratched her wavy hair, walked towards the little girl step by step, tilted her head and asked, "Miss, do you have something to talk to me about?"

The little girl's face immediately turned red, and she stammered, "Yes, it's Professor Tao, please come over."

Qiao Ruoxi rubbed the little girl's head and said, "Thank you. Can you tell me where Professor Tao's office is?"

"Of course, of course, I'll take you there! Ruoxi, can I ask you to be the model for my graduation project?..."

Everyone looked at Qiao Ruoxi's departing back:...

“Why didn’t Professor Tao ask classmate Su Yun to go to the office? Why did he ask her?” Tong Xiaomei said indignantly, and only after she finished speaking did she realize that Shen Suyun’s face was very ugly.

Lin Ke patted the podium and said, "What do you know? Qiao Ruoxi was called in by Professor Tao to get scolded. She did her homework so perfunctorily, how could Professor Tao let her go?"

When the students heard this, they immediately thought it made sense.

Shen Suyun also felt relieved.

It was ridiculous. She was actually nervous for a moment just now. She had seen Qiao Ruoxi's handwriting, and it was far inferior to hers!
