Chapter 169 From then on, Qin Guan was in endless trouble . People who lay down with dogs woke up with fleas . Being around unreliable people made him seem like a bandit himself, which made the graceful Teacher Rong extremely dissatisfied .
She hit Qin Guan's legs and arms with a thin rubber stick . "It's only been a few days, and you already look like a Hutong idler . Behave yourself! Sit straight and stand still! Where is your elegance? You are not a very good student . Real grace is in a person’s very core . Behavior reflects one’s spirit . You’re either noble or vulgar . Nobility maintains one’s countenance even when they fall down . " Qin Guan felt a chill as he imagined those two guys being taught by Teacher Rong . That day, Qin Guan began his lyre-playing, chess, calligraphy and painting courses . They were all supposed to help his consistent good behavior . Actually, Qin Guan had been reading cursorily about all these skills except for painting . He could play Chinese chess, Chinese checkers, five-in-a-row, aeroplane Chess and military chess . Teacher Rong engaged in I-go though . She made a cross on Qin Guan's papers . If his ancestors knew that Qin Guan considered writing with a pen calligraphy, they would have laughed their heads off . Qin Guan couldn’t talk about a hard-tip pen to Teacher Rong for fear that she would make fun of him forever .
He had also considered playing the harmonica at primary school music class the same as Iyre-playing, which was even more absurd . Wonderful! Now he had to spend all his spare time at Teacher Rong's house . Time flew by . Busy people always felt that days speeded by . In October, the TV play "The Legendary Swordsman" finished its final editing, but it was just a simple page in Qin Guan's busy life . He turned that page easily . Qin Guan refused all other small parts in TV shows and films . John kept sending him emails from the other side of the ocean . He sent him four emails a month . He would occasionally share interesting fashion news and trends from Europe and the US . As Qin's best foreign friend (which was what he called himself), he was preparing Qin Guan for the frontline of the fashion industry . Actually, Qin Guan wanted to tell him that no Chinese model could get a work visa . There were more shows and opportunities overseas though, and many Chinese models would work abroad illegally with tourist visas . If they were invited to release conferences of top brands, their social status soared when they returned to China . Long after the Capital Fashion Week, Cabben sent a notice to Sister Xue about the accident backstage . They also invited Qin Guan to their next show in China .
It was a compensation in disguise, which they would both benefit from . The nine brands of the Fashion Week had all become long-term clients of Sister Xue’s . Qin Guan turned down several offers in other provinces and focused on Beijing . The KTV club was flourishing . The two tough guys knew it would take them at least two years to get their capital back . The three small shops were phenomenally profitable though, which aroused Qin Guan's desire to make money that way . The "Daming Palace", which he had become famous for, had been replaced by the hit show "Legend of Dagger Lee" . Similarly, the leading actor’s classic hairstyle and handsome looks had attracted another group of crazy girls . Fans were always forgetful . Except for some loyal fans stuck on Qin Guan, most girls had been attracted by the charming, dagger-wielding man .
Qin Guan seldom showed his face, except during shows . His harvest those six months were Teacher Rong’s lessons and his full pockets . In the past, Qin Guan had only been interested in his figure, not his spirit . After being trained by the good tutor though, he had changed a lot . People always said that nobility could be cultivated in three generations, but Qin Guan was absorbing manners that should have been fostered in childhood . He had become a gentleman by then . His movements had become as elegant as paintings, and there was a lingering charm in his gestures and expressions . Cong Nianwei’s reflection was the best encouragement for him . When they stayed alone, she would get lost in thought as she looked at her educated boyfriend . The memory of how he used to be was vague . He was getting more and more shining in time, and she was drowning in his spoiling love . A smile was on her face . She hoped those days would never end . By the time Qin Guan was done with all his private affairs, 2000 had nearly ended . The new year would begin soon . The decorations for his new house in the capital had been finished, but there would be a model gala soon, so Qin Guan could not return to his hometown for the Spring Festival . His parents decided to celebrate the Spring Festival with their son in Beijing instead and see the new house . Qin Guan picked them up in his car, which surprised them even more . They were both conservative people, and they saw their son on TV and the fortune his modelling jobs had earned him . They were worried that Qin Guan would be lured by the entertainment circle and abandon his profession . For people their age, flowers blooming in the entertainment circle were like passing clouds . Their son might be handsome for some years, but that kind of success was like rootless duckweed . It had no solid foundation . Getting a steady job was more important, even if the salary was not as high as it was in the entertainment circle . That kind of career choice would reassure them . They felt relieved when Qin Guan told them about the certificates and his part-time job as an accountant . Our son is a dependable young man . He really is our child . Their mentality was not quite the same though .
