Chapter 1429: In Modern Day (27)

"..." For a moment, I'm at a loss on how to respond to Anderson Hood.

I'm afraid that I would end up quarreling with him the moment I open my

mouth.

After a few seconds, I finally find a relatively euphemistic solution.

"Oh, you're even able to paint?"

The receptionist eagerly says, "Heh, he knows a lot of things. He

originally came to our country to learn banter, claiming that he's

proficient in all kinds of things."

*That sounds like sarcasm... The receptionist and this foreign teacher

don't seem to be on good terms... I wonder if he's speaking the truth or

just joking...* Although I'm not particularly good at observing

people, his behavior is a little obvious.

"Haha, if you wish to learn banter, I can teach you as well," Anderson

Hood says with a well-enunciated Chinese accent.

"We'll see?" I'm a little confused about the current situation, and I

have no choice but to say something perfunctory like "I'll check my

schedule."

After watching Anderson walk into the office, I turn my head and ask the

male receptionist, "Can I not sign up for his class?"

"That's one of your rights." The male receptionist looks excited. "A

wise choice!"

He then gives me a thumbs up.

"T-this... foreign teacher---Anderson... Is he that bad?" I glance in

the direction of the office.

The male receptionist chuckles.

"To be honest, he's very capable. His only flaw is..."

He pauses.

"What is it?" I can't help but ask in response.

The male receptionist turns solemn.

"That he's not a mute!"

"Hahaha." I laugh, half-sincere and half-polite.

Then, I ask curiously, "Do people sign up for his classes?"

"Yes, quite a lot." The male receptionist curls his lips.

"Aren't they aware that you can't withdraw from classes and switch

teachers after signing up?" I take the opportunity to gather more

details.

"No." The male receptionist quickly corrects me. "We have one trial

lesson. If you're not satisfied, you can switch to another teacher."

He pauses and laughs.

"Well, you know, some people just like to get mocked and trampled on."

It sounds like they have a special fetish... I stop asking

further.

"Then I'll sign up for your principal's class. Are there weekend

classes?"

"Yes." The male receptionist quickly does the introductions.

I don't waste any time. After paying 6,666 yuan, I sign up for the Dream

Tutoring Classes' weekend business English class.

After leaving the Dream Tutoring Classes, I don't leave the building.

Instead, I find a quiet corner and take in the feel of the air

conditioner. I then make a record of today's events.

To be a commercial spy, one has to act like a commercial spy. I have to

live up to Miss Huang's payment!

Done! I casually tap my phone and look at the department chat

to prevent myself from missing any important notices.

Rozanne: "Take note, take note: CEO Huang is bringing a VIP over to

visit. Everyone, please be more professional."

*VIP... Oh, that client named Zaratulstra. Heh heh, I actually missed

him again. Looks like we aren't fated to meet...* I hold my

phone and consider what to do next.

It's rare for me to have free time in the afternoon on a non-weekend

day. I can't waste it.

*Hmm, I'll go catch a movie. There shouldn't be a lot of people at this

time.* With that thought in mind, I immediately head to the

larger mall next door. Then, I take the elevator to the fourth floor and

start searching for the cinema.

Eh, there's a signing event... Looking around, I see many

people lining up at the entrance of a large bookstore.

It's obvious that a famous author is here to do a fansigning event.

With some level of curiosity, I deliberately pass by and see a few

poster stands.

*Romance Queen... Slacker Without a Dream... This pen name, heh, the

authors nowadays really have weird pen names...* I don't know

the author of the fansign event, nor do I have any intention of joining

in the fun.

Of course, I'm still a little curious as to what the author looks like.

After all, the few poster stands that aren't blocked mainly introduced

the Romance Queen's new book without any pictures.

I'll come take a look after the movie... I mutter to myself

and follow the road signs to the other side of the mall. At the end of

the road, I find the cinema.

Because I haven't thought of what to watch, I stay in the lobby and look

for something that piques my interest from the promotional pictures.

Suddenly, I feel the light in front of me dim.

A tall man appears beside me!

He's so tall. He's almost two meters... I look at him from the

corner of my eye and realize that he looks like a basketball player.

*Wait, he seems to be wearing the junior high school uniform near my

neighborhood!*

Holy sh\t, he's only in middle school and he's already two meters

tall?*

What do children nowadays eat?

A-and he dyed his hair brownish-yellow...

*Does he need to attend classes? Well, it's summer vacation

now.*

*But why are you wearing your school uniform during the summer

vacation?*

As I lampoon, I take a stealthy step in the opposite direction, in case

the child makes me look like a dwarf.

Meanwhile, I find the movie that I'll be watching. I don't have to wait

too long.

"The Pirate 3: Crazy Adventurer"

In the corresponding promotional pictures, a man in a top hat and trench

coat is standing between lightning, waves, and storms with three retro

pirate ships surrounding him. And at the bow of each ship stands a

beautiful female pirate.
