Chapter 73: People who just don’t get along in North City!
Xu Shaoyu, who had finished work and came to see her, walked around the room and reminded her, "We still need some decorations."
Yan Ruo looked around and expressed his agreement.
"Looks like I need to go buy some paintings and ornaments, as well as pots and pans to stock up on the kitchen."
Xu Shaoyu paused as he walked out.
He really couldn't understand how Yan Ruo thought of pots and pans from decorations.
These two things are obviously completely unrelated.
She did it as soon as she thought of it. After finding a place to have dinner, Yan Ruo took Xu Shaoyu to a nearby large supermarket to do some shopping.
Xu Shaoyu followed behind pushing a shopping cart.
Looking at her carefully choosing figure, I felt a little dazed!
After being together for two years, they seem to have rarely had such lifelike moments.
When they first started living together, Yan Ruo had asked him out to the supermarket many times, but he thought it was a waste of time. He could just have anything he needed delivered to his home.
But now it seems that some time is worth wasting.
At this moment, like all ordinary couples, they were discussing what to buy and sell for their new home and choosing their future lifestyle.
Before I knew it, the shopping cart was slowly filled up.
While Yan Ruo wasn't paying attention, he casually took a set of cups from the shelf next to him and put them into the shopping cart.
Seeing her brows slightly furrowed, he quickly took two steps forward, "What's wrong?"
Yan Ruo sighed, "It's okay to buy daily necessities here, but the decorations are really ugly."
Xu Shaoyu raised his eyebrows. "Where are those little gadgets I brought you when I was on a business trip? Didn't you like them very much?"
When they were in North City, there were too many things and they could only pick out a part of them to display. Yan Ruo felt regretful for a long time.
She smiled a little guilty, "Indeed, why didn't I think of that?"
In fact, when she left, she almost threw away those things. Later, she couldn't bear to do so, and didn't want to bring them back to be an eyesore, so she threw them in Xingwu's storage room.
Seeing her like this, Xu Shaoyu couldn't help but sneer.
Two months ago, when my aunt went to Xingwu to clean, she found the box from the utility room.
If Xu Shaoyu hadn't asked one more question, the box of things he bought from all over the world would have ended up in the landfill long ago.
"If you still want it, can you go back and get it yourself sometime?"
It turns out the things are still there!
Yan Ruo sighed secretly in her heart, glanced at Xu Shaoyu, and saw that although his expression was uneasy, it was not too cold, so she asked cautiously.
"Can't you ask Auntie to send it to me?"
"What do you think?" Xu Shaoyu glanced at her lightly.
"There's no need to look at the paintings. Let's go to the exhibition the day after tomorrow."
"Art exhibition? Forget it! I don't need to hang something so expensive in my small house."
Yan Ruo was planning to buy it directly online. An art exhibition, such a high-end and expensive activity, was simply not suitable for her.
Xu Shaoyu didn't say much at the time, but the next day when Yan Ruo made an appointment with the air conditioner installer to install the air conditioner, he reminded her, "Remember to go to the art exhibition tomorrow."
Yan Ruo was a little surprised, "Don't you usually dislike these things? Why are you so interested in this exhibition?"
As he said that, he couldn't help but take out his cell phone to check, and then he found out.
Although this was just a solo exhibition, it was quite large. What was particularly eye-catching was that the artist who organized it was a very young and beautiful woman.
He is also an internationally renowned emerging painter. It is said that he has successfully held several exhibitions abroad, which have received very good responses.
Xu Shaoyu is so concerned this time, could it be that they know each other?
The two have known each other for many years and have collaborated on work countless times. Seeing her thoughtful look, Xu Shaoyu knew what she was thinking about again.
I couldn't help but explain: "The painter Zhou Qinglan who is holding the exhibition this time is the eldest daughter of Boyu Group."
"Boyu Group?"
As a native of Southern Province, you must be familiar with this name.
This company is not the largest, and few people know about it outside of Southern Province, but it has a huge influence locally.
Previously, because Xu was interested in opening a branch in Nancheng, Yan Ruo also conducted a survey on various companies in Nancheng.
Boyu is engaged in traditional industries, and its boss, Zhou Shiyang, is of average ability. However, he has a very capable brother who is now the second-in-command of Nancheng and is extremely powerful.
It is said that a strong dragon cannot defeat a local snake. Although Boyu is far smaller than Xu's, it is inevitable to have contact with them if it wants to develop in Nancheng.
Yan Ruo snorted softly, "Boss Xu is going to pay a visit?"
"Greetings." Xu Shaoyu said in a cold and arrogant tone, "Do you think a mere Boyu is worthy? I'm just going to test the waters."
Yan Ruo raised her eyebrows slightly, her eyes shining as she asked, "So, to show your support, you must buy a painting?"
Xu Shaoyu nodded slightly, agreeing with her statement.
Yan Ruo felt relieved after hearing this, and even started to get ready.
Anyway, the money has been spent. According to Xu Shaoyu's personality, buying a painting is just like giving a gift. As long as the intention is there, it's fine. He won't bother to take the thing back. Isn't it a good deal for her!
I must go and pick some carefully tomorrow.
…
As expected of an art exhibition by the eldest daughter of Boyu Group, Yan Ruo saw several familiar faces from the mall before even getting out of the car.
Perhaps some of the big names in South City’s business community will come to visit the exhibition in the next couple of days.
As the person in charge of Xu Group, Xu Shaoyu attracted everyone's attention as soon as he appeared.
Yan Ruo quietly withdrew her hand from his big palm, silently took two steps behind, pretending to be an insignificant follower.
Actually, this is not entirely true.
Although she is no longer a follower after resigning, she is still insignificant in an occasion like today.
Zhou Shiyang came forward from afar with an extremely warm attitude.
Yan Ruo followed behind somewhat bored, watching Xu Shaoyu chatting with others with his expressionless handsome face, as if she was back at work again.
But now she no longer needs to be on edge all the time and keep working.
Looking at it from a different angle, it’s quite… pleasing to the eye!
The protagonist of this exhibition, Zhou Qinglan, is a pure and lovely beauty.
When her father called her over, she looked a little reluctant. Today she appeared as a painter, pursuing art.
I don't really want to get involved with too many personal relationships and interests.
But when he saw Xu Shaoyu, the impatience on his face disappeared instantly, his smile became much more sincere, and he talked more.
Since they were at the art exhibition, Yan Ruo didn't want to waste all his time listening to them chatting.
I simply took out my phone and sent Xu Shaoyu a message. [You guys chat, I'm going to go look at the paintings first.]
Taking advantage of the break in the conversation, I gestured to him again and then quickly ran away.
You know what, Miss Zhou’s painting is really good.
At least I won’t be like some artists, whose paintings are incomprehensible.
If Zhou Qinglan was an abstract painter, then even if he didn't have to spend money, Yan Ruo would not want to hang such a scribble of paintings at home.
So as not to be scared when you wake up in the middle of the night.
What Yan Ruo didn't expect was that she would actually meet the person who had been at odds with her in Beicheng here.
