In the evening, she attended a social event to meet the bigwigs of the Art Association and finally confirmed that they wouldn't use self-media for promotion.
The old artist said it wasn't suitable for media promotion, as her painting style leaned towards the abstract, which wouldn't be appreciated by those unfamiliar with art and didn't need deliberate promotion for those who understood it.
Out of boredom, Leh Ying took out her phone to browse WeChat and composed a message: "Mr. Xu, I met with people from the Art Association today, and the face-to-face meeting went smoothly."
She added an emoji of a kitten scratching its tummy, looking pitiful.
She wanted to test what Xu Jingxi's stance was, but she had overestimated how indulgent Xu Jingxi was with girls. His profile picture remained silent in her contact list, and he didn't reply.
By the next afternoon, still no response. That settled it, he was mad at her, with his pointed disregard.
