This was a rather plump woman, who, after a brief conversation, seemed not to carry much of the gentleness normally associated with women from the Jiang Zhe riverside towns. On the contrary, she was very capable, the picture of a workplace elite.
There were many people participating in the event. After a few remarks, Cheng Feng moved to entertain other guests. Li Shi and Mi Wei proceeded into the hall.
"Li, your painting is at booth 21, want to take a look?"
What could be the point of looking at his own painting? This time, he came to see others' works.
Li Shi shook his head: "Let's browse the exhibition first."
Mi Wei followed him: "Sure, let's go together."
After a few steps, having glanced at a couple of paintings, Li Shi felt someone was watching him. Upon closer inspection, he realized they were actually looking at Mi Wei beside him.
It was then that he momentarily shifted his attention from the exhibition to the foreign girl, whose Mandarin was rapidly improving.
