Chapter 974 - 375: My Sister Is Reborn (Part 19)
The gallery’s Teacher Feng was also very supportive.
He had once collaborated with a gallery in Paris for a joint exhibition, and they were trading partners, so he gave He Tiantian the contact information of the gallery owner.
Although it wasn’t a famous large gallery, it was still a legitimate one, with several somewhat renowned painters under contract.
If He Tiantian could sign with such a gallery, it would be considered as having one foot in the Paris art circle.
He Guotai and Tian Shumin, the married couple, started shopping for all sorts of things, wishing they could pack up the whole house for their two daughters.
Tian Shumin even suggested more than once: "How about I take you to Paris, rent a place for you, and make sure you settle into school smoothly before I come back?"
He Tianxin and He Tiantian both objected, "Mom, you can’t even speak French, you’d be of no help if you went!"
They were at least better than their mom, with no language barrier at all.
"How about I contact an agency? They specialize in these things, they’ll definitely know what to do!"
Tian Shumin, unwilling to give up, proposed another suggestion.
He Tiantian & He Tianxin: ...
We’re not going to some substandard university, why would we need an agency?
Besides, thanks to the connections with Teacher Lu and Teacher Feng, He Tiantian already knows a few people in Paris.
Big issues might be inconvenient to ask for help with, but renting a place or finding a host family shouldn’t be a problem.
After much persuasion from the sisters, they finally dispelled Tian Shumin’s various unrealistic ideas.
After the Spring Festival, He Tianxin’s application was approved, and she received an OFFER from the Third University.
So, the sisters packed their luggage, took their prepared passports and checks, and headed directly to Paris.
Everything went smoothly on the plane, and they even met another student heading to Paris for their studies.
Having lived two lifetimes, He Tianxin had become a social ace, while the young man named Cheng Daqi was also a talkative person.
The two of them started an animated conversation across the aisle.
They exchanged contact information, and Cheng Daqi even added He Tianxin to a group for Chinese international students.
He Tiantian: ... Amazing, my sister!
They hadn’t even arrived in Paris yet and were already mingling with the locals.
"... Your sister seems quite quiet, is she also studying language and literature like you?"
He Tiantian silently commented but didn’t expect to be the topic of conversation herself.
He Tianxin shook her head, full of pride: "My sister is a painter, graduated from the Central Academy of Fine Arts, now going to Paris for further studies!"
"Impressive! An artist indeed!" Cheng Daqi’s eyes lit up.
These days, more and more students are studying abroad at their own expense, and generally speaking, their families aren’t exactly poor.
But, paying one’s own way and still letting children study the expensive field of art indicates more than just "not being poor"; it’s a sign of a wealthy family.
Not to mention, this family sent not just one child, but two.
Without some family assets, it couldn’t be done.
Of course, the Cheng family wasn’t short on money either, but meeting people from the "same social class" was still quite pleasing.
In the future, for any gatherings or exclusive events, inviting the other party would be quite fitting.
"It’s just good fortune, that’s all!"
He Tianxin resembled those "humble" parents, saying "it’s just good fortune" while actually exuding an air of pride.
Cheng Daqi: ...
This response made it awkward to continue the conversation.
However, Cheng Daqi still had a good impression of the He sisters.
They seemed quiet and their family had some money, so befriending them wouldn’t involve much trouble.
With the intention of building a good relationship, Cheng Daqi also wanted to learn more from the veteran student, leading to an increasingly harmonious conversation between them.
From Cheng Daqi, He Tianxin learned about the pros and cons of renting a place and staying with a host family.
It seemed renting a place was the way to go.
Firstly, for transportation, and secondly for more personal space.
After all, the He Family wasn’t short of a few hundred Euros in rent.
There are many details to heed when renting a place.
Having been in Paris for two years, "senior" Cheng Daqi indeed had a lot of experience.
"You can look for Chinese international students to share the rent; the group I added you to often has posts about shared or available rentals."
Cheng Daqi explained carefully and kindly asked, "By the way, do you have someone to pick you up when you arrive? If not, I can help!"
He Tianxin was about to shake her head, but He Tiantian spoke up: "Yes, we do!"
Before the flight, she received a text from Teacher Feng.
Recently, Teacher Feng had been vigorously recommending He Tiantian to the Paris gallery owner.
He praised her as being unparalleled on earth, as if she were a rare genius.
The key was that He Tiantian had a selling point for "hype" — young, pretty, and a female painter.
The gallery owner named Paul didn’t quite believe Teacher Feng’s praises but was nonetheless somewhat intrigued by He Tiantian.
As he had a couple of free days, Paul decided to pick her up at the airport to observe He Tiantian up close...
