Moreover, anyone who has been there hasnāt said anything bad about the teahouse, because everyone who has been there knows that the tea and pastries there are truly worth the price!
"But donāt go around telling others about this discount, okay? Otherwise, the whole school will come asking me for this discount, and Iāll be at a huge loss."
"We wonāt tell, we promise!"
"I didnāt bring the vouchers today. Iāll bring them tomorrow. Whoever needs them should register with Jin Lei," Jiang Xiao said, conveniently assigning Jin Lei a task.
When Liu Guoying started class, he was surprised to find that Jiang Xiao, who wasnāt often at school, seemed to get along quite well with her classmates.
It seems his studentās personal connections are pretty decent.
After two classes, Jiang Xiao immediately rushed to the office to find Liu Guoying.
"Teacher!"
"Why are you so frantic?" Liu Guoying was startled.
"I want to see that painting from before, the one Ye Wanqing brought, and the line of text on the back. Can I see it again?"
"Why do you suddenly want to see that painting?"
Although Liu Guoying asked this, he still went to get the painting.
Jiang Xiao finally saw the line of text on the back.
The handwriting was delicate; if the writing reflects the person, then Qingshuang must be a gentle woman.
Qingshuang.
Luofeng Institute.
Jiang Xiaoās gaze fell on the words "Luofeng Institute."
Is this the personās residence?
"Teacher, do you know where Luofeng Institute is?"
"Director Jin said itās a welfare institute. It used to exist, and he should know the address. Why donāt you call and ask him?"
"Okay, can I use the office phone?"
"Go ahead."
Jiang Xiao immediately called the Capital Art Academy, but no one answered the phone.
"Director Jin might be out," Liu Guoying glanced at her and asked, "But why are you suddenly looking for this person?"
"Because the person Iām looking for has the same name, so I want to see if sheās the one." Jiang Xiao picked up the painting, "Teacher, can you give me this painting?"
"... Are you a robber?"
Just give it away?
Jiang Xiao laughed cheekily and ran out with the painting.
"Jiang Xiao!"
Liu Guoying also knew she had changed her name on her student record and heard she made her classmates change how they addressed her, so he figured he might as well do the same.
Jiang Xiao acted like she didnāt hear his calling, holding the painting as she returned to the classroom, walked up to Jin Lei, and asked, "Jin Lei, let me ask you, have you heard of Luofeng Institute?"
"Luofeng Institute? I think I heard my dad mention it when I was little. He said itās a welfare institute, and that it was originally the home of a wealthy person. There are big maple trees planted in the yard, so it was named Luofeng Institute, and later it was taken over by the government to be a welfare institute."
"Do you know the address?" Jiang Xiao was suddenly delighted; she didnāt expect Jin Lei also knew about it.
Jin Lei shook his head, "I think itās quite far from here. I only know itās in the suburbs, but I donāt know the exact location."
"Does Director Jin know?"
"My dad? He might know."
"Is Director Jin not home today?"
"Oh, he went to the countryside for a few days. He said heās doing some activity to bring art to the mountain village and wants to see if there are any amateur painters in the village. Itās an event organized together with the Capital City Art Association."
He went to the countryside?
"When will he be back?"
"I donāt know either. Iāll have to go home and ask my mom."
