After asking the question, the phone fell silent for a moment.
Hua Jian frowned and took away the phone, but Jiang Ruiming didn't hang up.
"curator?"
"Hmm? Sorry, I was distracted." Jiang Ruiming's voice suddenly dropped. "Yishuang was considered an upperclassman of mine. I only found out that Yishuang was her stage name after she passed away."
Hua Jian paused. He didn't expect Yi Shuang to be a woman.
"I'm sorry, Director, for bringing up your sad story."
Jiang Ruiming smiled wistfully. "Nothing. Come to the gallery and see me when you're free someday. I'll show you her other paintings."
Hua Jian asked, "Director, was this Ms. Yi Shuang a student in the Art Department of Imperial Capital University?"
Jiang Ruiming was shocked: "How do you know? No one should know about this except me."
Hua Jian's face was heavy. "Don't be nervous, Director. I'm just guessing. Didn't you just mention that several members of the Purton family provided scholarships to the Art Department of Imperial University? I suspect the Purton family leader might have a connection with Ms. Yishuang."
In the original novel, Shu Yao interviewed the head of the Purton family, who mentioned that he offered the scholarship because the woman he once liked studied at Imperial Capital University.
And now the head of the Purton family is so interested in Yishuang's paintings.
Yishuang is also a woman.
All these coincidences made Hua Jian suspect that the head of the Pulton family had a relationship with Yishuang.
Why did the head of the Purton family go to Haicheng to look for his biological child instead of going to the imperial capital?
There is only one possibility, that the head of the Purton family does not know Yishuang's real name.
Hua Jian: "Regarding the cooperation with the Purton family, my opinion is not to cooperate for now."
This was the first time that Hua Jian, as a major shareholder of Liangchen, explicitly rejected the proposal.
Jiang Ruiming was silent for a moment and then said, "I understand. I will refuse them."
The two talked for a few more words before hanging up the phone.
The old man is both good and evil. He even sent Candy, whom he trained as his heir, to prison.
Hua Jian didn't want to have any deep involvement with him.
A certain family head who had just boarded a private plane felt a slight chill on his back.
The housekeeper quickly turned up the temperature a little.
"Master, the Bo Group hasn't responded yet. Has the cooperation plan been handed over to the Xie Group as planned?"
"Alright, someone has to think of something to do, so just send it to Xie Cheng."
"Yes, Patriarch."
The housekeeper finished his work and looked up at the head of the household.
His profile was very gentle, his expression was expectant and excited, as if he had encountered something very interesting.
The butler hadn't seen him with such a mischievous expression for many years.
His scalp went numb and he quickly looked away, not daring to look again.
I don’t know whether it will be the Xie family or the Bo family that will be unlucky this time.
Or is it the outstanding-looking Hua Jian?
"How's the acquisition of Yishuang's paintings going?"
"Liangchen has already refused."
The butler didn't expect that someone could refuse such a high bid.
"Refuse?" The head of the Purton family was a little surprised, and his fingers kept rubbing.
The butler said softly, "Liangchen has teamed up with many Chinese organizations to hold an exhibition. As a donor to the Imperial Capital University Art Department scholarship, we have already received an invitation. The exhibition will be in a week, which is just in time for your schedule."
"Yeah?"
A painting was displayed on the huge display screen in front of the head of the Purton family, and the signature in the corner was Yishuang.
This is Yi Shuang's posthumous work, which has never been seen before, and was brought out by Jiang Ruiming during Liangchen's last exhibition.
He likes it very much.
It’s like seeing a familiar old friend whom I haven’t seen for a long time.
"Continue to communicate with Liangchen and triple the purchase price."
The housekeeper was shocked. It would not be an exaggeration to call the price sky-high after it doubled.

After Bo Lin picked up his luggage, he soon saw Jiang Kai at the exit.
"Boss Bo!"
"How's the company?"
Jiang Kai took the suitcase from him and reported solemnly, "Everything is normal. We are short of a few mid-level positions. We have followed the procedures and will first recommend internal personnel and then recruit externally."
Bo Lin nodded: "If you have the right qualifications, you can start working directly."
"Yes, Mr. Bo, you asked me to keep an eye on the Pulton family. I just received news that the private airport in the northern suburbs of the imperial capital has applied to the Air Traffic Control Bureau for a landing route this afternoon. I checked the landing time and it is 6 pm. The flight time is 11 hours, which is the same distance as the flight from Country F."
Bo Lin paused, and Jiang Kai stopped behind him and said, "According to your instructions, I have been delaying the cooperation project with the Pulton family. You see..."
Bo Lin sneered, "No rush. Arrange someone capable to keep an eye on him. I want to know his every move after he gets off the plane."
"Yes, Mr. Bo."
After getting in the car, Bo Lin finished reading all the documents Jiang Kai brought that needed his personal attention before saying, "Take me to Hua Jian."
"Okay, Mr. Bo."
It was still early, and although it was getting dark, the street lights in the imperial capital had not yet come on.
The back seat was dark, with only the faint light from Bo Lin's phone illuminating it.
Just after Hua Jian finished sending the message, Shen Mo called.
"Hello, Shen Mo."
"Did Jiang Kai pick you up? I'm telling you, I know who the person who texted you is, but he's hiding it pretty well."
Bo Lin's eyelids jumped: "Who is it? Shu Yao?"
"no."
Shen Mo quickly said a name, and Bo Lin's expression relaxed for a moment.
He was a little surprised but also took it for granted: "So it was him."
Shen Mo said: "It seems that you know him. I will contact you when I find him."
After hanging up the phone, Bo Lin was obviously depressed.
The message from Hua Jian was still displayed on the page: [I'm still at the company. What's wrong? Can I video chat with you when I get home?]
He was thinking about himself too.
Thinking that he would be able to give Hua Jian a surprise later, Bo Lin felt a little better.
The black lorry sped towards the imperial city.
After Hua Jian replied to Bo Lin, he went to check the live broadcast data.
Xie Zhiyan's condition has been getting better and better in the past two days, and the number of people in the live broadcast room has stabilized at 10,000.
Xie Zhiyan looks very cute, but his musical performance is very wild.
The contrast attracted many fans.
While he was busy, the assistant came close to him and whispered, "Boss, someone is looking for you outside. They say it's your friend."
Hua Jian turned around and asked, "Who?"
The assistant shook his head: "I haven't seen him, but he's quite handsome. He looks very anxious. I asked him to wait at the door."
Hua Jian frowned. He glanced at Xie Zhiyan through the lens, then said a few words to the others before leaving the room.
On the way, Hua Jian asked, "Didn't he tell me his name?"
The assistant was a little embarrassed: "I was busy just now. He came suddenly and I forgot about him in my haste."
Hua Jian casually hummed and didn't care much.
His company is not big. Apart from a few live broadcast rooms, the company's main entrance is across the corridor.
Hua Jian looked over casually, slightly surprised.
"Why is it you?"
