"Qi Mingli? What are you doing here?" Lu Zhiwei walked to the sofa and was quite surprised to see him personally visiting the Lu Group.

Qi Mingli took off his sunglasses, revealing a devilishly handsome face: "I heard that you still haven't found a female spokesperson. Shen Jingmo gave me a strict order to find someone from my company for you. Take a look at these people behind you, is there anyone you like?"

Lu Zhiwei glanced at the actresses; they were all rising stars in the entertainment industry, and also familiar faces.

"Hello, Ms. Lu." They all greeted her with smiles.

Lu Zhiwei carefully scanned the actresses. Although they all had good looks and temperament, she felt that something was missing.

Qi Mingli could tell that she probably hadn't taken a liking to him, "Wait a minute, I'll call those big stars who are filming out of town back for you."

He had just taken out his phone when Lu Zhiwei immediately stopped him, "Don't make yourself look like a brothel madam. I'm not here to choose beauties."

Qi Mingli scratched his head. "So, do you want these people or not? Make a decision quickly so I can go back and report."

If these actors are selected, he, as the boss of Qi's Entertainment, can take a cut, and he can also take another 10% from Shen Jinmo. He gets kickbacks from both sides, so he can make a profit without losing money.

"I don't want any of them, take them all back with you." Lu Zhiwei refused Qi Mingli's offer.

Qi Mingli was puzzled: "You're not refusing it because it's a kind offer from that brat Shen Jinmo, are you?"

"Of course not, he can't affect my work." Lu Zhiwei shrugged and smiled.

Qi Mingli had just stood up when there was a knock on the office door.

An Yang then brought in several actresses from outside.

Suddenly, the office resembled a large-scale talent show, with wave after wave of popular actresses arriving.

"Did you bring this again?" Lu Zhiwei asked Qi Mingli.

Qi Mingli shook his head: "No, none of these belong to my company."

"Mr. Lu, we were introduced by Brother Ji Zhou, and we'd like to try and get an endorsement deal with your company." The actress who spoke was a rising star in the entertainment industry, in her early twenties. She debuted early and was adored by male fans for her sweet looks.

Upon hearing that it was brought by Ruan Jizhou, Qi Mingli didn't want to leave.

I want to stay and see whether Lu Zhiwei chooses the person recommended by Shen Jinmo or the person recommended by Ruan Jizhou.

To everyone's surprise, Lu Zhiwei still refused outright: "Thank you for your support and trust in Lu's Group. I already have a suitable spokesperson in mind."

Lu Zhiwei didn't give face to anyone, which made Qi Mingli somewhat relieved, at least Shen Jinmo wouldn't feel unbalanced.

After finishing work that afternoon.

Lu Zhiwei drove to Cuizhu Garden and then to the Shen family's old residence.

They didn't stay long before leaving.

Shen Jinmo, who was still working overtime at the Shen Group, suddenly received a text message from Shen Jiarui informing him that Lu Zhiwei had visited the Shen family's old residence.

Shen Jinmo thought she had come to the Shen family's old house specifically to thank him, but he found out too late.

On the way back to the Shen family villa, Shen Jinmo recognized Lu Zhiwei's car at a glance.

He ordered Lin Jing to follow.

The car sped along and arrived at a quaint and elegant qipao studio.

Shen Jinmo knows this place very well.

Because the old lady likes to wear cheongsams, he comes here every year to personally customize a cheongsam for her.

Over time, Yun Ruoyu became familiar with him.

The car was parked in the yard.

Lu Zhiwei was personally greeted by Yun Ruoyu's assistant.

Lu Zhiwei introduced herself and requested to meet Master Yun Ruoyu.

The assistant quickly returned, said something to Lu Zhiwei, and then slammed the door shut.

Lu Zhiwei stood outside the door, only to be turned away.

Shen Jingmo got out of the car and walked up to Lu Zhiwei. "Want to come in?"

"You have a way?" Lu Zhiwei asked, somewhat surprised when she saw him.

“Master Yun Ruoyu is not someone anyone can just meet whenever they want,” Shen Jinmo comforted her.

His words sounded like a sarcastic remark about Lu Zhiwei.

She turned around and walked away.

“But there is one path you must take, and she will have to see you.” Shen Jinmo stared intently at her.

Lu Zhiwei turned around, intrigued by his words: "But this path will be a bit difficult."

"I'm not afraid."

"Okay, follow me."

Walk through the front yard and down a small alley.

Shen Jinmo led her to the front hall of Yun Ruoyu's studio.

There was a round fan in the front hall. The fan was embroidered on both sides, but a small part was missing, so it was not a complete painting.

Next to the round fan were needle and thread tools.

The fan has many needle holes, and many people have probably tried to embroider it, but none of them have succeeded.

Even if someone can embroider double-sided, they may not be able to embroider so vividly and perfectly match the original image.

Just because someone can draw doesn't mean they can do double-sided embroidery.

This challenge was undoubtedly tailor-made for Lu Zhiwei.

She confidently picked up the needle and thread, sat on the stool, secured the fan, and began embroidering.

Her mother was Yun Ruoyu's last disciple and had received Yun Ruoyu's true teachings and favor. She did not neglect this skill while she was abroad. Whenever her mother was in better health, she would take the time to learn from her mother.

Lu Zhiwei was very focused on her embroidery.

Shen Jinmo, who was standing to the side, watched her intently and occasionally poured her a glass of water.

"Why are you staring at me?" Lu Zhiwei didn't want to be in the same space as him.

"This isn't your home. There's no rule that says you can stay here and I can't. I heard you went to Cuizhu Garden and the Shen family's old residence. Was it to find me?"

"Don't be narcissistic, no."

"You just like to be stubborn."

Shen Jinmo raised an eyebrow and didn't argue with her anymore.

An hour and a half later, the missing part was embroidered.

Lu Zhiwei used the round fan as a visiting card and finally got in touch with Master Yun Ruoyu.

Yun Ruoyu was an elderly woman in her sixties. Due to her age, she had presbyopia and wore a pair of metal-rimmed glasses.

Yun Ruoyu was both surprised and delighted to receive the fan presented by Lu Zhiwei. It had been so long since she had seen such a talented young girl.

"You came to see me because of your mother, right? My master-disciple relationship with her is over. I don't have a disciple like her who has disgraced the family."

Yun Ruoyu put down her fan and turned to go back inside.

Lu Zhiwei caught up with her, "Master Yun, my mother has never forgotten your kindness while she was abroad. You personally taught me how to thread a needle, double-sided embroidery, Suzhou embroidery, and other techniques. She said she felt ashamed of her lack of gratitude for your teachings and that she was forced to leave without a word back then."

"She's already climbed into someone else's bed, and she still calls it being forced?" Yun Ruoyu trembled with anger. Every time she thought of her apprentice Su Wan, she felt a pain that pierced her heart.

What a promising talent, ruined by a man.

"Whose bed did she sleep in?" Lu Zhiwei pressed for an answer.

"On the bed of the man next to you's father."

These words were spoken.

The silence was deafening.

Lu Zhiwei looked at Shen Jinmo in disbelief.

Shen Jinmo's face suddenly darkened, and his hands, which were hanging at his sides, clenched into fists.

He wouldn't allow anyone to tarnish his father's reputation; no one was allowed.
