Chiang Xiao was still grateful, and having accepted the commission from Uncle Lee, she received two thousand yuan. With this, she had enough for the house purchase, but a major renovation and new furniture were needed, and she still had to figure out how to secure that money.
As for what He Jin suggested, letting her deliver a few paintings to his Mingchen Studio for consignment, Chiang Xiao hadn't agreed yet and only said she'd think about it some more.
No matter how much she needed money, she didn't want to sell her paintings all over the place right after winning an award.
Her teacher used to be most upset with her for this.
Not to mention failing to win awards, in her past life she had completely degenerated into a third-rate artist who painted only to sell.
Every single painting was for the money, the money, the money!
This was unforgivable in the eyes of her teacher.
