Chapter 163: Chapter 163: Essay Works (1)_1

Gao Lin nodded with a smile, "Yes, Anan has been producing very few works in the last couple of years. It took me a lot of effort to get this one."

"It indeed deserved to be a work of a master, it’s incredibly beautiful!"

"Anan is my idol! But she’s so mysterious. We don’t know her schooling, age, real name, or nationality. Many companies are scrambling to buy her work. It baffles me, why is her work so scarce? Do you think she is not short of money?"

"..."

Suddenly, everyone in the room gathered around Gao Lin and the jewelry she was wearing.

Even Xiaochen who was next to Xia Wan’an couldn’t help studying Gao Lin’s jewelry. "Wan’an, look at the set of jewelry on Mr. Gu’s fiancee. It’s really beautiful!"

Having eaten and drunk her fill, Xia Wan’an leaned lazily in her chair, closing her eyes to rest, as if all the distractions surrounding her had nothing to do with her.

"Anan’s work is truly girly. I really like it!"

"Wan’an, do you know? My dream is to own a piece of Anan’s work in my lifetime!"

Xiaochen had a loud voice and spoke incessantly beside Xia Wan’an. The noise gave Xia Wan’an a headache. She couldn’t help but retort, "Enough, Miss Chen, calm down. It’s just a third-rate work. Is it worth getting so excited?"

Xia Wan’an intended to say this to Xiaochen alone, but the moment she started to speak, everyone in the room happened to be quiet. Although she didn’t speak loudly, everyone in the room heard her.

The atmosphere in the room turned awkward once again, with everyone’s gaze falling on her.

Damn, why was she the only one talking at that moment?

Xia Wan’an felt awkward for a moment, then stiffly began to explain in an attempt to ease the atmosphere. "You see, Anan has a strange habit. Only her third-rate works are available for sale in the market. As for her top-notch works, she often gifts them to friends, or displays them at some jewelry exhibitions, such as in ’Years’ and ’First Love’. The piece of jewelry Miss Gao is currently wearing is just a work of Anan’s whim, and cannot be considered one of her classic pieces."

The atmosphere remained tense and even more awkward than before.

Gao Lin’s face turned pale with a bit of green; she was originally boasting, but now her jewelry was said to be third-rate work. Worse still, it was just matter-of-factly sketched!

Gao Lin smirked and said, "This colleague certainly knows how to talk nonsense seriously that makes her seem to really know Anan and seen Anan’s first-rate works!"

Uh... what should she respond to this?

Xia Wan’an paused momentarily before admitting, "To tell the truth, I have indeed seen all the first-rate works of Anan."

With her words, the room burst into laughter.

They didn’t believe her? Xia Wan’an looked at her laughing colleagues and blinked, then said earnestly, "I’ve even seen Anan’s discarded drafts."

The laughter in the room became even louder. Everyone thought Xia Wan’an was amusing and decided not to quarrel with her. They started packing up and leaving.

"Ms. Xia, your jokes are getting bigger and bigger. If you’ve really met Anan, why are you working as a small employee under Mr. Gu?"

"Haha, is Xiaoxia giving us some post-dinner entertainment after eating? But overstating the entertainment is not interesting anymore, it’s getting late, and we have to work tomorrow, so I’m going to leave first."

"Wait for me, I’m leaving too."

"In this era, no one has to pay a cent to brag. People just open their mouth and start!" said Gao Lin. Like others, she didn’t believe a word that Xia Wan’an said. She gave Xia Wan’an a cold glance, picked up her bag and turned to Gu Yuzhi, "Azhi, let’s go, too."

"..."

Before long, the entire private room was empty, leaving Xia Wan’an alone.
