"Oh, a big businessman, a wealthy merchant." Liu Guoying nodded slightly towards Hu Xiangyong, with a hint of that intellectual disdain for merchants.
If Chiang Xiao were here, she would certainly think this old man had a flair for acting.
After all, if he truly looked down on businessmen that much, how could he agree to let her open a tea house while still in school, and even have his wife help watch the shop?
"This is Master Liu Guoying, a renowned painter in our country, known for landscapes, and his teaching skills are also quite high. As you see, Chiang Xiao is now under his tutelage and is a rising star in the art world with a promising future."
"Master Liu, it's a pleasure." Hu Xiangyong stood up and extended his hand to Liu Guoying.
Liu Guoying seemed to casually shake hands with him.
For a moment, he felt as if his hand was pricked by something, leaving a slight numbness in his fingers.
But once he let go, it felt normal again.
