In the M country

The top floor of an office building

The secretary stood outside the president's office door and knocked a few times.

An elderly but deep male voice came from inside.

"Enter."

The secretary pushed open the door and walked in.

"Boss, Mrs. Sonny just called and said she'll come to the company to see you in half an hour. You also have a video conference with the Yatai region in half an hour. Because of the time conflict, do you want to change your work schedule?"

At the desk, an elderly man with white hair, dressed in a sharp suit, hesitated for a few seconds upon hearing his secretary's report.

Mrs. Sunny was a very good old friend of his, and her sudden visit to the company today surprised the old man.

"Let's postpone the video conference for another hour," the old man instructed.

"yes."

The secretary nodded in agreement.

Half an hour later

A tall, elegantly dressed elderly woman took the elevator all the way to the top floor of the building.

The secretary was notified and waited outside the office area in advance.

"Mrs. Sonny, hello. My boss is waiting for you in his office. Please come with me."

The lady wore a polite smile.

He nodded and followed the secretary to the boss's office.

"Boss, Mrs. Sonny is here."

The old man stood up from his desk and looked at the old woman next to his secretary.

"Sunny, your arrival surprised me a bit."

Upon seeing their old friend, the two exchanged a smile.

The secretary left the office, and Sonny walked to the sofa in the lounge area and sat down.

Tebbs personally made Sonny a cup of coffee.

"I have something important to tell you right now. It's really too difficult to see someone as busy as you normally would, so I had no choice but to take the liberty of coming to your company to find you."

Tebus took a sip of coffee, a look of curiosity on his face.

"What could possibly have troubled you, Mrs. Sonny?"

Sonny pulled out a beautifully designed gray-white invitation from his purse and placed it in front of Tebus.

Tebus curiously opened the invitation, and a glint flashed in his cloudy eyes.

"Ye Bai's private art exhibition? Are you sure this invitation was really sent by Ye Bai himself?"

Seeing the contents of the invitation was truly unbelievable.

The great painter Ye Bai, whom I've been searching for so long, is actually going to hold an art exhibition?

This elusive and mysterious man is sought after by people from all over the world, including government officials. Some have even offered exorbitant prices for one of his paintings. However, after his masterpiece "The Other Shore Flower" brought him fame, he did not produce any other works for several years.

Until last year, after "Mountains and Rivers in Mist and Rain" and "Starry Sky" were published in China, many fans of his works went to China to look for him. However, only two works were suddenly published, and no one had actually seen Ye Bai in person.

Tebus, who is over seventy years old, has always been particularly enthusiastic about collecting famous paintings. Ever since he saw Ye Bai's "The Other Shore Flower", he has been obsessed with it.

I've always been passionate about finding Ye Bai.

Initially, I was struck by his work and felt that such a unique piece would surely be remembered for generations.

But when he tried to find Ye Bai through various means, apart from a possibly false name, he was like someone who had never left any trace in this world, completely untraceable.

Sonny took a sip of coffee and said with a smile, "I got this invitation from Jayne."

Upon hearing that the invitation came from Jayne, Tebbs's suspicions gradually dissipated.

Based on his investigations into Ye Bai over the years, although he found nothing about Ye Bai's identity, he was not without results.

As far as he knew, Jayne and Night White definitely knew each other.

If this invitation was personally given to Sonny by Jayne, then it is most likely genuine.

Why would you send me such an important invitation?

Sonny laughed and said, "Although I'd also love to meet Ye Bai in person, I know you need this invitation more."

Tebus laughed excitedly, "Sunny, you truly are the one who understands me best."

The two were lovers when they were young, but they did not end up together because of interference from their families.

But in this lifetime, they became close friends.

No one in the world knows him better than Sonny.

After receiving the invitation and seeing Sonny off, Tebs immediately had his secretary book a flight to China for three days later.

In a private room of a high-end bar in Beijing

Ma Weimin accompanied a middle-aged man with utmost respect.

"Mr. Mu, this jade Guanyin is a new item I recently acquired. It's a genuine Ming Dynasty piece, personally stamped by Mr. Tang at the auction. Knowing that you have always enjoyed collecting antiques, I thought it would be more appropriate to present it to you, an expert."

Mu Qing chuckled and said, "Mr. Ma, you're too kind. I can't possibly accept such a valuable gift."

Although he spoke politely, Mu Qing's eyes were fixed on the jade Guanyin statue.

It is made entirely of white jade and exquisitely carved; it is clearly made of top-quality jade by a master craftsman.

Judging by appearances, this jade Guanyin would cost at least a million.

Ma Weimin naturally noticed the fondness in Mu Qing's eyes.

“I’m just a rough man. It would be a waste for such a fine jade Guanyin to fall into my hands. Everyone says that jade has a lot of spiritual energy, so it’s better to find a more suitable owner for it. Minmin was able to get the endorsement opportunity for Aifu thanks to your help. Consider this jade Guanyin as my way of thanking you.”

"Haha, Mr. Ma, you're too kind. It's just that the group felt that Cai Minmin was a good fit for our Aifu Youth Series products, and I was just going along with it."
