This is outrageous.
Immediately afterwards, the car was driven away and no one got out, so Mr. Sun attended the party with his son's lover.
The two of them were still arm in arm, and later TV dramas would not dare to play it like this.
"What's going on?" Yu Yao asked Gu Qing subconsciously.
Gu Qing shook his head, also very puzzled. He really gained a lot of knowledge after this trip.
There was no time to think too much, Yu Yao had already prepared for today's situation.
She took out the contact lenses she had prepared earlier. If the pupils were different, the look in their eyes would change, and the possibility of them revealing their identities would be much smaller.
"You two, what are you doing, flirting with me at my door?" Ding Jue looked a little unwell, but he still forced a smile.
"Mr. Ding, did you go out to steal last night?" Yu Yao asked knowingly.
Because Ding Jue and Manager Shi had doubts about her soft decoration company before, Yu Yao decided not to just fight for face, but to treat this matter as a serious career. Not only did she write the plan herself, she also insisted that these two partners work together.
These two had never done anything like this before, and they were in an unfamiliar field. Wouldn't it be like being drained of money in a few days?
Ding Jue looked at her with resentment, "Alright, come in quickly. In order not to lose to Miss Shanshan, I specially found a chef from Yangcheng to come over and make lunch."
He looked at her and felt that Miss Shanshan was even more charming and seductive today than before. Although he didn't know why he had such a feeling, he still couldn't help but envy Shen Shengming for being so lucky to have such a beauty.
"Cough." A light cough was heard.
But after just a few more glances, Mr. Shen noticed her. Ding Jue chuckled a little uncomfortably, "Everyone loves beauty, so why don't you let others see it?"
Gu Qing warned quietly, "Watch your eyes."
Ding Jue just couldn't understand how someone who was so gentle in front of Miss Shanshan could be so cold in front of others.
Fortunately, probably because he knew that he had no ill intentions, Ding Jue could also feel that he had no ill will towards him. Thinking of the huanghuali wood box in his hand, Ding Jue couldn't help but slap his mouth, "What a stinky mouth!"
Even though they had only been together for a few days in total, Ding Jue had already seen that Mr. Shen held a grudge, and it was not just an ordinary grudge. He would definitely learn his lesson next time.
After welcoming the two people in, Ding Jue quickly introduced them, "Mr. Sun, this is Mr. Shen Nanke whom I told you about. This is his wife, Ms. Lin Shan. You two, this is Mr. Sun, the chairman of Fangyuan Group. I'm sure you've seen him in the newspapers."
"Hello, Mr. Sun." Gu Qing took the initiative to shake hands with Mr. Sun, who was quite gentle in his attitude.
Yu Yao originally thought that she could just show some appreciation, but when she shook hands with him, Mr. Sun suddenly said, "I know you. I heard that you always look for nice-looking rocks at the casino."
After these words were spoken, Yu Yao was almost unable to do anything.
She wanted to deny it, but it was indeed her. Who could tell her why the big boss who was busy with all kinds of things would care about such a little gossip?
Letting his thoughts run wild in his head, Yu Yao still answered obediently: "Betting on stones is just a gamble anyway. Choosing ugly stones is also a gamble. Choosing beautiful stones is also a gamble. So why not choose a better-looking stone to make yourself happier?"
"Hahahaha, you're funny, this is the first time I've heard something like this. You know what, it does make sense."
"Really?" Yu Yao also laughed with him. It was impossible to please the president by other means, so he could only talk.
After chatting casually with Mr. Sun, Ding Jue took Gu Qing and the other man to greet the others.
"This is Mr. Guo..."
There were only a few of them, and only two of them were people Yu Yao and his friend had heard of before. The others were probably just people who were in their circle. The only difference was that these people were generally a bit older, and could be Yu Yao's uncles.
The uncles were all very kind and, at least on the surface, they did not look down on Gu Qing and the other two because of their young age.
The strange thing is that after all the introductions, Yu Yao didn't see Qian Yue. She couldn't have seen it wrong just now. It couldn't be that both she and Gu Qing saw it wrong.
Just when she was puzzled, Ding Jue's expression changed and he said, "Come, let me introduce you, this is Mr. Sun's fifth concubine." Others had some other introductions, but this one just casually mentioned them.
There was no disdain in his tone, yet it seemed as if it was full of disdain.
Yu Yao seemed unaware. No matter from which angle, she should be nicer to Mr. Sun's woman, so she shook hands honestly, "Fifth Concubine."
When the other party heard Yu Yao's voice, he looked up and exchanged a glance with Yu Yao. At that moment, Yu Yao thought that the other party had figured out who he was, and his heart skipped a beat.
However, the other party greeted him coldly, "Hello."
It would be impossible to act like that without ten years of acting experience. Either she really didn't recognize herself, or she was too good at pretending, or she was really not Qian Yue.
But when she greeted Gu Qing, Yu Yao took a closer look and saw that she had a mole on her ear. Even if they were twin sisters, they couldn't have the same mole, right?
After greeting each other, several people sat together and took out their treasures one by one for everyone to appreciate.
The first thing that came out was a jade ruyi. The jade was warm and moist, and it looked like it was of extremely good quality. Yu Yao couldn't tell anything more. When the thing was passed to her, she couldn't explain it. She simply hid behind Gu Qing like a quail.
However, Gu Qing took the thing and immediately said that it was from the late Ming Dynasty. In an instant, everyone looked at him with admiration. However, Gu Qing just praised it lightly and said nothing else.
The second item was a purple clay teapot from the Qing Dynasty. Yu Yao pretended to take a look at it and felt that he had learned nothing from Zhang Wei's class.
"Next is Mr. Sun's." Ding Jue's tone was clearly filled with anticipation. Mr. Sun must often come up with good things to share with everyone.
I saw him take out a box from the box beside him and open it. Embedded in the cushion was a very luxurious vase.
The famille rose vase from the Qianlong period, or to be more precise, the large famille rose vase, has the characteristics of vases from the Qianlong period. The advantage of this vase is its even color. Its current price is worth millions, but if it were to be sold in later times, it would at least be in the eight digits.
Many people wonder why porcelain from the Qianlong period is so expensive. Qianlong's appreciation level was rather peculiar. His main idea was that the most vulgar is the most elegant. Logically speaking, if the beauty was not so strong, the price would certainly not go up, but it is really expensive.
Yu Yao was also very curious about this, so she specially looked up information about it. The main reason was that Emperor Qianlong attached great importance to porcelain. If the emperor likes something, his subordinates will also like it even more. Things that the emperor values must be made well, so the porcelain craftsmanship of that era was very exquisite, and its value was second only to Yuan blue and white porcelain.
Yu Yao's breath almost stopped when he saw the vase, because this thing was exactly one of the antiques they were looking for.
"Wow, it's so beautiful." Yu Yao exclaimed.
In fact, everyone has the same idea. Regardless of whether the large pattern looks good or not, its value alone is enough to attract everyone's attention.
"It's really beautiful." Gu Qing agreed, "This is the first time I've seen a vase of such quality." The way he wanted to touch it but didn't dare to show his love for the vase completely.
"Where can I buy a vase like this?" Yu Yao raised her head and looked at the people in front of her with tears in her eyes.
Ding Jue raised his eyes and saw her pitiful look. He couldn't help but think that women really do love these beautiful things. Looking at her, it seems that she doesn't even know the price of this vase.
Although Mr. Shen could spend more than one million to buy a luxury car, he saw that their family did not seem to be able to spend a lot of money, so they probably would not be willing to spend a large amount of money on such a thing, right?
"Mr. Sun bought it at a private auction for over three million. If Miss Shanshan wants it, she'll probably need some luck."
"Private auction? What is it like? Can you tell us about it, Mr. Sun?" Yu Yao pretended to be innocent at this time, "Are there many treasures like this?"
In fact, everyone present was very curious because they didn't know who made this porcelain vase.
Except for Yu Yao, all the people present were well-known figures. They had participated in many private auctions. The good things there were naturally incomparable to various charity auctions, but of course the more they knew about this kind of auction, the better. So everyone looked at Mr. Sun expectantly, hoping that he could talk about it.
"It happened last year, so I can't reveal the details. Everyone knows the rules, but there are quite a few good things. Among them is a pair of glass-type imperial green bracelets. I believe that no matter who sees them, they will be unable to take their eyes off them. I have never seen jadeite of that quality before."
Mr. Sun closed his eyes, as if he was savoring the appearance of the jade.
"A bracelet that can be praised so highly by Mr. Sun must be really eye-catching. It's a pity that we don't have the good fortune to see it." Mr. Guo, who was always smiling, praised, and everyone echoed him.
"Isn't it? The quality of jade on the market is uneven and the prices are high. It's hard to find the real good ones."
Having said that, there are still quite a lot of them. They all have some jadeite with good water content. They may not be antiques, but this high-quality new stone is also very valuable. So those who collect antiques often don’t focus on the jade, which just proves the quality of the jadeite that Mr. Sun mentioned.
Everyone loves good things. Isn't it a pity that they didn't see them?
"Mr. Sun, didn't you take a picture of such a great thing?" Some questions are better asked by Yu Yao, a layman.
Mr. Sun smiled and said, "Something unexpected happened at that time, so I gave it to someone else."
There is a story behind this, and everyone's eyes became even more passionate.
Unfortunately, Mr. Sun didn't seem to have any intention of continuing the conversation, so everyone could only change the subject out of interest.
"Did Mr. Sun take pictures of anything else?"
"As usual, I have collected two calligraphy and paintings. Next month I will hold a calligraphy and painting exhibition. You can come and have a look if you have time."
Yu Yao's eyes sparkled, "Can we come too? My brother Shen loves calligraphy the most."
"Oh?" Mr. Sun looked at Gu Qing with a curious look in his eyes. "I wonder if Mr. Sun has any treasures. Can you show them to us?"
Gu Qing then put his arm around Yu Yao's waist, looking completely fascinated by the woman, and said with a smile, "Mr. Sun, you misunderstood. Shanshan just saw that I like to practice calligraphy, so she said that. As for collections, I did collect a few in Guangzhou, but they are not rare and I did not bring them to Hong Kong."
Everyone felt a little sorry when they heard this, but Mr. Sun was not indifferent, "This is a coincidence. My friends and I occasionally get together to discuss calligraphy and painting skills. Why don't we all show off our skills later?"
"I am honored to see the calligraphy of all of you gentlemen."
No one had any opinion, and the topic had been brought up, so Yu Yao didn't ask any more questions.
Fortunately, after the inquiry just now, they also obtained some useful information.
The famille rose vase and the imperial green bracelet that Mr. Sun mentioned should be what they are looking for, including the calligraphy and paintings he mentioned.
The owner behind this private auction should be the person they are looking for.
I just don't know why this person sold these things in large quantities, how many he has left, where those things that have been auctioned went, and how to get them back. Everything is unknown.
Mr. Sun probably has more than one item, and each one is worth a fortune. Mr. Sun spent real money to buy them. How can they get them back? They can't just steal them, right? How is that different from the mastermind behind the scenes?
Unless Mr. Sun is in cahoots with that man, she would have no scruples in her actions.
A gentleman loves money and gets it in a proper way. There should be nothing wrong with taking the money of a villain for the sake of collective benefit, right?
That's right, Yu Yao suspected that Mr. Sun was not a good person. Of course, she had no evidence at the moment and had to find out slowly.
After viewing two more rather exquisite old objects, it was finally Gu Qing's turn to take out the wooden box.
"Shanshan got this by accident. Mr. Ding said it's a good thing. Please help me appreciate it."
Without exception, everyone was first amazed by the wood quality and the craftsmanship, but then felt sorry for the damaged corners of the wooden box.
Originally this was a good collection, but because it was damaged, it can only be considered a medium-quality piece.
When everyone had seen enough, the item fell into Mr. Sun's hands. He knocked lightly on the bottom. The people who didn't know the truth were a little confused, but after hearing the sound, they had guessed and came up again. Then they heard Mr. Sun say, "There is indeed another layer below."
Everyone was surprised to hear this. Just now, everyone was just looking at it and didn't really touch it. After all, it was an antique. But they also looked at it carefully. The wooden box was finely made, and there was no trace of any interlayer on the bottom. The workmanship was too good, so everyone felt even more sorry for the damaged corner.
"Can you open this compartment and take a look?" It was Mr. Guo who spoke again.
Mr. Guo is not from Hong Kong's business circle, but a painter. However, Yu Yao can see that his eyes towards these things can be described as fanatical.
Gu Qing: "We don't have a way to open the compartment. I brought it here today to ask everyone to help me think of a solution."
These words directly aroused the desire to win and explore of everyone present, but the result was naturally nothing.
After about half an hour, everyone became a little discouraged.
"Is there really a mezzanine underneath?" I don't know who asked this question for the umpteenth time.
There was no doubt that everyone had confirmed that there was a compartment, but they had no way to open it.
"It seems we have no choice but to force it open," said Mr. Sun.
Everyone was shocked, "But in this case, this wooden box will be even less valuable." This was certainly what Yu Yao and the others thought.
No one knows what is inside the compartment. What if it is just a piece of paper or something worthless, or if there is nothing inside? Then it would be a waste of time to open the wooden box.
But what if there is something good inside? If we don't open it, it will never see the light of day again.
Everyone was itching to get it, but since the thing belonged to Gu Qing and the other man, they could only listen to their opinions.
Gu Qing didn't say anything, but he seemed very conflicted as well.
Yu Yao, who was sitting next to him, had an attitude of "whatever my brother Shen said is what it is" and no one took it seriously.
The air was quiet for a long while before Gu Qing said, "Shanshan, what do you think? Should we open it?"
The pressure was on Yu Yao, and her whole face was tangled.
"What if there's nothing in it?" she asked unhappily.
What can we do? No one can do anything.
Gu Qing touched her head and said, "Since neither you nor I can bear to part with it, then let's not open it."
Everyone felt disappointed upon hearing this. They felt as if they had missed something good. They looked at each other with regret, but no one dared to persuade them, because no one could be sure that good things would come out of it. If not, who would be responsible for the loss?
Besides, even if it comes out, no one will get any part of it. Once you figure out the secret, no one will encourage you anymore.
However, at this moment, Mr. Sun spoke up, "I heard that Miss Lin is very lucky. She has chosen two pieces of expensive jade in just two months. Since she is so lucky, why not take a gamble? How about a bet between you and me today?"
Yu Yao was confused for a moment, as if she was thinking about Mr. Sun's suggestion. After a while, she smiled and said, "Mr. Sun, my luck is usually average, but if someone provokes me, my luck will become extremely good. Mr. Sun, tell me, how do you want to bet today?"
Mr. Sun didn't care about her impolite reply and said, "I'll open this huanghuali wooden box today. If the things inside are not as valuable as the box, then sell it to me along with the things inside. I'll pay you 660,000. If the things inside are valuable, then I'll give you the box. How about that?"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone started looking at each other. They were all thinking about who would make money and who would lose in this transaction. No matter who made money, they would all be able to feast their eyes in the end. Now it all depended on whether Miss Lin Shan was willing to open the business.
Yu Yao was also very conflicted. This time she was not pretending, she was really a little conflicted.
She still quite liked the wooden box, even though it had no practical use. But now that Mr. Sun had asked for it, they should have no chance to refuse.
She made up her mind quickly, but Yu Yao still glanced at Gu Qing. In the eyes of several people, she was asking for Gu Qing's opinion. Everyone couldn't help but think that although Miss Shan Shan seemed arrogant, she was actually a sensible person. She knew that she should listen to men. Isn't it true that she got what she wanted? It's really good.
Gu Qing and the other person seemed not to notice the expressions of the crowd. He smiled and said lovingly, "Since it's yours, you can decide for yourself."
With his words, Yu Yao nodded immediately, "Okay, then I will make a bet with Mr. Sun today. You are all witnesses. Mr. Sun, open it."
Mr. Sun laughed twice, "Ms. Lin is really straightforward. Then I will take action."
I thought he would ask a professional to open it, but when he turned around, he took out a tool bag from the side, which contained various pliers, tweezers, blades and even saws. He was well prepared!
Yu Yao couldn't help but say, "It seems that Mr. Sun is sure that I will agree."
If she had known that he was so casual, Yu Yao would definitely not have agreed.
Many antiques were damaged due to improper preservation by collectors. She thought that someone like Mr. Sun, who had so many antiques at home that he could open a museum, would be more particular. Who knew he would actually do it himself.
However, the other party seemed not to understand her sarcasm. He smiled and said, "That's not the case. It's always better to be prepared first. Otherwise, we can only wait now."
Everyone smiled and agreed, who would say it was not true?
They all wanted to see what the secret was, but there was nothing. It would be interesting to see how excited these two young people were.
However, Mr. Sun provided a guarantee, so the two of them would not suffer any loss with the 660,000 yuan.
I don't know if Mr. Sun had practiced this before, but he was wearing a pair of very thin and tight gloves. His eyes were focused on the wooden box. His movements were very light, and the blade passed through the tight gap at the bottom. He moved it up and down, left and right with a little effort, which made Yu Yao frightened.
At this moment, I don't know what trick he used, but I could hear a slight sound of wood rubbing against each other coming from inside. Could he really open it?
If Yu Yao's hearing wasn't good, she would have doubted herself.
But after the sound, there seemed to be no movement. Mr. Sun did not stop and kept moving the blade. When the blade moved to the corner, he slowly exerted force, and a gap miraculously appeared at the connection point in the corner. It was either a damaged crack or it separated the originally tight interface.
After an unknown amount of time, even Yu Yao, who was watching from the side, had sweat on his face. Mr. Sun finally took out the blade in his hand, and then he gently pulled out the inlaid wooden strips, and the interlayer appeared in front of everyone.
Yu Yao was originally amazed at his skills. After all that work, there was not even a single scratch on the wooden strip. She thought that if he reassembled the wooden box, it would not look much different than before. The tiny flaw would be completely covered up by the flaw on the corner. This Mr. Sun had something.
But when she saw what was inside the interlayer, Yu Yao no longer had the heart to think about these things. There was a soft cloth pad inside, and inlaid with a jade pendant with exquisite patterns.
Even though Yu Yao had just come into contact with this industry, he could still tell the ancient feeling in it. It was an ancient jade, and a well-preserved and exquisitely crafted ancient jade pendant with double dragon pattern.
Everyone exclaimed in amazement, and each took out their own magnifying glasses and other items to observe this ancient jade.
There is a saying in an ancient book that "the best jade is the sweet yellow jade". The material of this jade pendant is the top grade Hetian yellow jade. Yellow symbolizes nobility in ancient times and has always been loved by the ancients. This jade treasured by the ancients is obviously of super high quality.
"What a great thing, Miss Lin! You are so lucky." After a long time, Mr. Sun stood up, holding his waist and praising Yu Yao.
The way everyone looked at Yu Yao also changed.
Just now Mr. Sun said that she was lucky, and no one took it too seriously. However, everyone knows the gambling stone market. It is very difficult to have a place in the gambling stone market. Some people may not be able to mine a good stone from the time they enter the gambling stone market to the time they leave.
This woman is extremely lucky to have opened two good things in just two months.
However, what really made them jealous was this jade pendant. They had never seen Yu Yao in the gambling field, but now they could see with their own eyes that she had the treasure.
Yu Yao ignored everyone's gazes and just smiled and replied, "If it weren't for Mr. Sun, we would never have seen this piece of jade. We have to admire Mr. Sun's courage and craftsmanship."
After hearing this, people had different thoughts. Some thought this woman was brainless, but now it seems that she is not so brainless.
Look how these words have coaxed Mr. Sun.
Mr. Sun was indeed very satisfied with what she said. Not everyone could see his skill. It was true that he had his own selfish motives, but he really enjoyed the feeling of revealing the surprise himself.
I don't know why, but when Mr. Sun heard Ding Jue mention these two people and their deeds, he felt that this trip would not be in vain. Facts proved that he guessed right.
The only pity is that such a good piece of jade does not belong to me.
Yu Yao did not have the small thoughts of managing the crowd, but continued: "Also, since you said that this wooden box was to be given to Mr. Sun, it is now yours."
Everyone was filled with an uncontrollable heartache. Why didn't they have such a good opportunity?
"Congratulations to Mr. Sun, Miss Shanshan, and Mr. Sun for getting what they wanted." Ding Jue didn't know if he didn't have any jealousy in his heart, or if he hid it very well. Anyway, he looked very happy, and his tone of congratulations was very sincere.
Mr. Sun looked at the jade again and said, "Then I won't be polite. I wonder what you two are going to do with this jade pendant? Do you have any plans to sell it?"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's eyes lit up, but they soon regained their composure. Even if someone wanted to pay, they were afraid they would not be able to snatch it from Mr. Sun, whether in terms of financial resources or other means. They couldn't help but feel a little regretful.
At this time, the usually quiet Gu Qing spoke up, "Our collection is quite small, so we don't plan to sell this thing for the time being."
Mr. Sun nodded in understanding, expressing his understanding. If it were him, he would probably be reluctant to do so as well.
"This thing should be worth at least this amount. If you two want to buy it in the future, please consider me first." He opened his palm directly.
It was just a nice thing to say, so Yu Yao and the others naturally agreed.
The appreciation activity came to an end, and everyone liked their own things and started chatting and drinking tea.
When Mr. Sun heard that they were planning to open a soft furnishing company, he was very surprised. As a successful businessman, he quickly realized the business opportunities that Yu Yao mentioned as well as the problems that might be encountered.
"Your idea is good, but it requires high-quality design talents, otherwise the future will not be very good." He said it very frankly, and he really treated Yu Yao and the other two as his juniors.
Yu Yao nodded, "Mr. Sun is really insightful. Although our idea is different from that of traditional decoration companies, their development paths are similar, so there are indeed many development points that can be learned from those decoration companies."
Mr. Sun saw that they had their own ideas and seemed to have considered them comprehensively, so he did not say anything more. It was something that others would never have thought of to have someone like him give them some advice.
Instead, Ding Jue talked incessantly about the collections in Yu Yao's home. It was not that the collections were so good, but that the decorations were amazing. He also mentioned their cooperation in T Fu Shengyuan. Yu Yao just realized that he was trying to attract business.
Facts have proved that Ding Jue is indeed a sales talent. Unlike Liao Song who puts service first, he is much better at deceiving people. It sounds like he is just praising and showing off. He did not mention at all that he wanted these people to cooperate with him, but he told them all the advantages of their company and even guided them to Fushengyuan to see the finished products.
She dared to guarantee that if the renovation of Fu Shengyuan's storefront was successful, they would receive an endless stream of orders.
Fortunately, Yu Yao only planned to pursue high-end products from the beginning.
She didn't feel guilty at all about making money from those rich people who looked down on the mainland. At worst, she could go back and invest most of it in the army.
Every time she thought of this, she remembered what Zeng Yue said about Gu Wuchengtian trying to steal things from the army. This was just because he was poor.
Soon it was noon, and everyone ate the Cantonese cuisine that Ding Jue had mentioned.
Yu Yao and Gu Qing still felt that the food they cooked was not as delicious as what they made themselves. Ding Jue also lamented the same. He thought that the chef they hired must be very skilled, but he did not expect that he was still not as good as Yu Yao. He could not avoid another round of praise.
Anyone like Yu Yao who was not determined would be flattered by him.
She even didn't understand why Ding Jue would brag about herself so much. Just because she was pretty? That shouldn't be the case.
"If you plan to open a restaurant in the future, you must first seek cooperation with me." Ding Jue started yelling without caring about the people around. It seemed that he didn't really want to discuss cooperation.
However, Yu Yao was quite cooperative with him and said, "I don't have any plans to open a restaurant, but I plan to open a snack processing factory."
"Snacks, what snacks?" Ding Jue frowned. After all, he was no longer a kid who loved snacks, so this involved his unknown territory.
Yu Yao: "I haven't decided what to do yet, but I can make some afternoon tea for you later. I wonder if you have enough ingredients here."
The people here are all the ones they need to make friends with, so Yu Yao naturally wants to improve their favorability.
"Great, great, we're in for a treat." Ding Jue greeted everyone warmly. They had a very enjoyable meal. As they chatted, they got to know each other's basic situations.
After lunch, everyone started preparing to write and paint. Yu Yao watched for a while before going to make afternoon tea.
Mr. Sun was quite skillful in his movements, and it was obvious that he really enjoyed this. He was also very eloquent in his discussions, and did not have the airs of a big boss at all.
Yu Yao was quite surprised by Qian Yue who came with Mr. Sun. Mr. Sun called her Xiao Yue, which made her identity more clear. But she also helped cut paper and grind ink. Her movements were graceful, which was completely different from the Qian Yue in the family compound. Can a few months really change a person from the inside out?
Yu Yao couldn't figure it out, this was her biggest confusion today.
It didn't take long. Since Yu Yao had promised to make afternoon tea for everyone, it was impossible for her to go back on her word and go to the kitchen.
She doesn't care at all about the contempt those men have for her. She only regards those who don't respect her as ungrateful people who put down their bowls and curse their mothers, and she won't bring trouble upon herself.
There were several chefs hired by Ding Jue in the kitchen. In fact, whatever Yu Yao wanted, there was someone to help prepare it, so she didn't feel tired at all.
In the kitchen, one could still hear a group of people laughing and talking. Yu Yao was in a good mood as it was another fruitful day. It seemed that she was getting closer to her goal of returning home.
None of them were idle people and each had their own careers. If Mr. Sun had not mentioned that he wanted to write something today, the afternoon activities would have ended long ago.
At their level, in fact, most people usually do some pretentious things, but they are not professionals. When they are really bored, they can do it to kill time, but there is no need for them to get together to do this.
But who made it possible for Mr. Sun to propose this today? No one dared to leave, and no one was willing to leave. If one of them caught Mr. Sun's eye, it would definitely be a great benefit to them in the future, whether it was business or anything else.
And they also want to have the opportunity to participate in those private auctions that Mr. Sun mentioned!
But they are destined to get into trouble today. The professional Mr. Guo is already enough to steal the limelight. Who would have thought that Shen Nanke, who is so young, can not only write beautiful calligraphy, but also paint with ease?
"Okay, okay, today I, Sun, have learned a lot. Each of your masterpieces is better than the other."
Mr. Sun said this after looking at Gu Qing's calligraphy, and it was obvious that he was praising Gu Qing. The others just mentioned it in passing.
Everyone was a little surprised. With Mr. Sun's status, there was no need for him to please others or say or do anything against his will.
But what is the situation now? Shen Nanke's handwriting is indeed good, but it can't withstand such praise, right?
In fact, Mr. Sun's handwriting is also very good. That kind of domineering feeling is the accumulation of many years of accumulation of a superior. It is difficult to write with that feeling without more practice or sufficient life experience.
Gu Qing could see it, so he said, "Mr. Sun, you are really flattering. My calligraphy is just the product of practice, while yours is the reflection of life experience."
As for how much sincerity there was in these words, probably no one except Gu Qing could guess, but no one could admit that these words were indeed very beautifully said, and anyone would be happy to hear them.
"You, I didn't expect that you are just as good at flattering as Ding Jue. You are both smooth-talking." Mr. Sun was completely pleased. He had a smile on his face until Yu Yao brought out the afternoon tea she made.
In fact, all she made were some snacks and tea. They were all grown men, so strong milk tea was definitely not suitable. So she made some light tea, and the snacks were also light in taste, including crispy cookies with matcha.
The food was nothing special, and the taste wasn't as amazing as Ding Jue said, but the flavor was clearly to their liking, suitable for people of their age.
People didn't say it, but in their hearts they still had a good impression of Yu Yao and the others. No one dislikes young people who know how to speak and act in moderation.
When we left, we all exchanged contact information, and everyone also received an invitation letter to the exhibition to be held by Mr. Sun at the beginning of next month. This is much more valuable than the one given by Manager Shi.
The car drove away from the villa area and Yu Yao breathed a sigh of relief. He was really tired after a whole day of acting and observing.
"Are you tired?" Gu Qing squeezed her hand caringly, "Thank you for your hard work."
"It's nothing. They have a really good life now. There are people to help me beat eggs, knead dough, and boil water." Thinking about what kind of life I lived in Wanyuan County before, it really seems like a lifetime ago.
Gu Qing was silent for a few breaths. "It's true that they have a good life, but have you heard about the current situation in Kowloon Walled City? Not all people in Hong Kong live such a life of luxury."
Why did these words sound so strange to Yu Yao?
"What do you mean? Do you think I'm so happy that I want to stay in Hong Kong?"
Gu Qing quickly explained, "Of course I know that's not what you meant. If you were a person who was obsessed with wealth, would you have handed over such a large sum of money before?"
Speaking of this, it successfully diverted Yu Yao's attention.
"We have to report everything we have done in Hongcheng when we return to Xichuan. Although we know we won't be dazzled by the prosperity here, the higher-ups don't know. Will we be suspected by then?"
This is what Gu Qing had always wanted to say. Just as he was about to tell us his plan, Yu Yao suggested that they hand over their profits.
"We can hand over part of it directly and keep part to invest in building a factory. We can get profits from building the factory and help veterans. I don't think the higher-ups will say anything."
In this day and age, it is not a good choice for them to have too much money in their hands, especially when the money is earned in the process of doing tasks.
If you want to make money, wait two years for plenty of opportunities.
However, Yu Yao actually had her own selfish motives. She believed that doing so would definitely help Gu Qing's promotion.
Gu Qing loves his profession and he also has the capital to fly higher.
Only when people like him who are upright and truly serve the country and the people have more power can they better promote social development.
Gu Qing obviously did not expect Yu Yao to make this suggestion, which exactly coincided with his idea.
"Ah Yao, it's my blessing to meet you."
While they were talking about business, Gu Qing suddenly said this, which made Yu Yao laugh and she giggled.
Seeing her smile, Gu Qing also raised the corners of his lips. Although he didn't know what Yu Yao was laughing at, what he said was his true feelings, but it was always a good thing to make her happy.
After laughing foolishly for a long time, Yu Yao rubbed her belly and stopped laughing. "By the way, do you know why Qian Yue is with Mr. Sun?"
If Yu Yao didn't eat such a melon, she would definitely not be able to sleep, so when Ding Jue took her to familiarize herself with the kitchen, she couldn't help but ask a few questions.
For a pretty girl like her, it's not excessive to have some gossip. Even if someone hears it, it won't be a big deal. On the contrary, it will make her seem more real.
Judging from Ding Jue's reaction, this was indeed the case. He easily told Yu Yao the truth of the matter.
To put it simply, Qian Yue was originally brought home by Sun Chengzu as a hero, but after returning home, she was noticed by Mr. Sun. Although Sun Chengzu and Qian Yue had not yet started anything, as a man, possessiveness cannot be ignored no matter what age.
Maybe he didn't take Qian Yue seriously at first, but it was different when someone robbed her, so he had that disgusted expression on his face the last time they met Sun Chengzu.
However, the one who was robbing him was not someone else but his own father, a father who could easily decide his future. Sun Chengzu had to accept it whether he wanted to or not.
So Qian Yue became his de facto fifth mother.
Yu Yao couldn't help but want to applaud, what a great show!
