Chapter 324: Chapter 324: Business Comes Knocking
Seeing Jiang Xue coming over, Manager Yang was quite surprised, and asked, "Jiang Xue, can you predict the future? I just happened to need to find you today, and here you are, saving me a trip."
"Manager Yang, what do you need me for?" Jiang Xue smiled and asked. She wasn’t an Immortal, how could she predict things? She was just paying a visit to the right place at the right time.
However, Jiang Xue didn’t directly say that she had something to discuss with Manager Yang; instead, she waited for Manager Yang to explain why he was looking for her.
"Jiang Xue, it’s like this. A friend of mine heard that your calligraphy is quite good and wants to buy your work," Manager Yang said with a smile. Someone wanting to buy Jiang Xue’s calligraphy made him happy, even if he was just playing the matchmaker.
"Really? I wonder what kind of piece they want? Should I just write something freely, or is there a specific request?"
Hearing that someone wanted to buy her calligraphy, Jiang Xue was also delighted. There were plenty of completed pieces in her space, so if the buyer didn’t have special requests, she could provide them anytime.
"They didn’t specify, so perhaps I should call and ask?" Manager Yang hadn’t inquired much before, but now that Jiang Xue asked, he thought it necessary to find out.
Thus, right in front of Jiang Xue, he made a call to the other party to clarify the requirements, and then he told Jiang Xue. The other party did indeed have their own ideas about the piece. Luckily, Manager Yang asked, otherwise, if Jiang Xue had given them a pre-made piece, they might have turned it down.
Jiang Xue noted down the buyer’s requests and mentioned the delivery time before she finally mentioned her reason for visiting Manager Yang.
"Manager Yang, there’s something I’d like to ask you."
"What is it? Just say the word," Manager Yang beamed at Jiang Xue. As long as it was within his capacity, he would do everything he could to help Jiang Xue.
"Manager Yang, it’s like this: I want to buy a mobile phone but don’t know where to find one. I figured you have a wide network, so I came to ask you."
"You want to buy a mobile phone?" Manager Yang was taken aback and asked Jiang Xue, "What made you think of buying a mobile phone?"
Mobile phones were a new thing, and most people just thought of using a phone line. Those who actually bought a mobile phone were rare. Honestly, even though he knew where to buy them, he hadn’t purchased one for himself.
"It’s for convenience in communication. As you know, I’m planning to start a handwriting class. In the future, I’ll definitely need to be in touch with students’ parents, so I decided to get a mobile phone."
"I see. I do know where to buy one. How about I accompany you after work?"
"Thanks for the help." Jiang Xue didn’t stand on ceremony. She had a favorable impression of Manager Yang and genuinely wanted to be friends with him, so there was no need for excessive politeness.
Manager Yang still had work to do, and Jiang Xue didn’t want to interrupt his duties. Considering that the library was nearby, she said to Manager Yang, "Manager Yang, I’ll head to the library to read some books first, and I’ll come back when you’re off work."
Upon hearing that Jiang Xue wanted to go to the library, Manager Yang didn’t stop her. Although it wouldn’t have been a problem for her to wait there, his office was still a workplace with people coming and going, likely making Jiang Xue uncomfortable staying there.
The library was a much better option. It was spacious, offering the opportunity to read books, and it wasn’t far from where they were.
Jiang Xue went directly to the library. Before entering, she made a quick stop at the restroom, took out the self-study books and notebooks she previously put in her space, and then headed to the library with them in hand.
