Chapter 420: Drawing On the Spot to Prove Her Identity
Xia Wanyuan’s words were like a bolt of lightning that struck the office.
Other than Professor Zhang, the other three people had shocked expressions. They had seen all sorts of storms before, but facing such a young and beautiful lady, saying that she was Master Yuan Wanxia, they still felt that it was a fantasy.
“Hello, may I know your name?” The leader was a leader after all. The shock on his face quickly disappeared as if nothing had happened.
“Principal Yang, this is Master Yuan Wanxia, whom I strongly recommended to the school.” Professor Zhang stood up and introduced her.
The head of the Literature and Arts department stood up and looked at Xia Wanyuan in surprise.
“Old Zhang, are you sure this young lady is Yuan Wanxia?” Even though Principal Yang did not believe Xia Wanyuan, he believed Professor Zhang.
“I’m sure.” Professor Zhang swore.
Principal Yang forced a smile and reached out to Xia Wanyuan. “Then please sit.”
Xia Wanyuan sat at the guest table graciously.
The school leader still did not come back to his senses. He sat closer to take a look. Yuan Wanxia was too beautiful. Furthermore, from her age, she was not older than 25 years old. How could she be a master-level talent that the literary and art departments had just fought over?
“May I know your original name?”
“Xia Wanyuan.”
“It seems to coincide with the name of a female celebrity in the entertainment industry.” Principal Yang laughed, wanting to ease the awkward atmosphere in the office.
“I am that female celebrity.” Xia Wanyuan’s words lowered the atmosphere in the office to the freezing point.
“Oh, oh, oh?” Principal Yang was a little stunned.
He had never paid much attention to the entertainment industry. The reason he knew Xia Wanyuan’s name was because he had heard this name last night when his wife was educating his son that was chasing after stars.
His rebellious son was in his adolescence. He had bought a large pile of posters of Xia Wanyuan at home and was nagged by his mother every day.
Now that this female celebrity was sitting in front of him and even told him that she was the respected Chinese arts master, Yuan Wanxia, Principal Yang felt that this matter was unreal.
“It’s like this.” Principal Yang received the hint in the eyes of the two deans and coughed lightly. “To be honest, Miss Xia, you’re too young. Yuan Wanxia’s literary skills, calligraphy, and painting skills are quite profound. We have to confirm if you’re really Master Yuan Wanxia.”
“Of course.” Xia Wanyuan nodded.
“Okay, let’s go to the painting and calligraphy room in the building next door. There are all the tools there.”
With that, Principal Yang stood up and led them to the next building.
When they arrived at the painting room, there were all kinds of tools. “Miss Xia, do you mind if we watch here?”
“You can watch.” Xia Wanyuan put down her bag and walked to the table.
The ink on the table had been grinded and the Xuan paper had been spread out. Xia Wanyuan looked around and saw extremely beautiful lotus flowers blooming outside the window.
Picking up the brush, she dipped it in ink and dropped it on the paper.
The head of the art department widened his eyes. To draw without drafts or even concepts, either Xia Wanyuan did not know how to draw at all, or her foundation was extremely deep and she did not need these things.
Looking at Xia Wanyuan’s young and exquisite side profile, the art dean could not believe that she was the latter.
