Chapter 77 This cruel reality!
When I was about to walk out the door, a girl with a pure, soft and lovely appearance came towards me.
When she saw them, or rather Xu Shaoyu, she smiled brightly and quickened her pace as she walked over.
It is the protagonist of this exhibition, Zhou Qinglan.
Both in appearance and temperament, she is as pure as a college student who has just graduated from campus.
He seems innocent, his emotions are revealed, and his joy is visible on his face.
At this moment, she couldn't hide the surprise on her face, "Mr. Xu, what a coincidence, we meet again."
Yan Ruo stood aside and thought somewhat boredly that Xu Shaoyu's face was indeed very lethal. It had only been a short time since they knew each other, but he had already charmed another beauty.
What made her think of was that after Zhou Qinglan exchanged a few words with Xu Shaoyu, he immediately shifted his focus and looked at her.
"This young lady is so beautiful. She has three parts of her face and five eyes. Her facial features are perfectly proportioned. She has a unique temperament and a great charm. She is simply a portrait model tailor-made for me."
As he said this, he held Yan Ruo's hands tightly.
"Miss, what's your name? Come and be my model!"
Yan Ruo looked at Xu Shaoyu in a daze.
What is going on? Why are things turning out completely differently from what she expected?
Xu Shaoyu stretched out his hand and pulled Yan Ruo behind him, his brows twisted into a knot.
"Ms. Zhou, she's not available."
Zhou Qinglan pursed his lips, his face revealing obvious dissatisfaction.
"Just now I invited you to be a model, and you refused. Now I'm inviting this young lady, why are you rejecting me again?"
"They haven't even spoken yet, how can you make a decision for them without their permission?"
As he said this, he turned to Yan Ruo and gave her a kind smile.
"Don't worry, little sister. I'm a regular painter. All you have to do is dress up nicely and stand there... No, standing is too tiring. Just sit there."
"Your appearance and temperament are perfect for the series I'm going to draw next. The remuneration and everything else are negotiable. I will definitely satisfy you!"
Hearing Zhou Qinglan's chatter, Yan Ru was stunned.
Xu Shaoyu looked so cold and aloof that even Zhang Ya, the arrogant young lady, didn't dare to yell at him.
This Miss Zhou is quite interesting. Not only is she not afraid of him at all, but judging from what she said just now, she even wants the person in charge of the Xu Group to be her model.
Yan Ruo turned her head to glance at the man beside her, her lips tightly pursed, her face as dark as the bottom of a pot.
I pinched my fingers quietly and finally managed to suppress the urge to laugh.
Yan Ruo felt a little uneasy about his conscience, as he was full of anticipation for Zhou Qinglan, with eyes that were almost full of stars, and resolutely refused.
"I'm sorry, Miss Zhou, I'm quite busy these days and won't be staying in South City for too long, so I can't be your model."
Zhou Qinglan's eyes were instantly filled with disappointment, and her whole face wrinkled.
This made Yan Ruo feel even more guilty, and she quickly searched through the comforting words in her head, trying to find something that could comfort her.
But Zhou Qinglan's emotions came and went quickly.
Before Yan Ruo could utter the carefully chosen words of comfort, the disappointment on her face had completely disappeared.
"I've just started thinking about my new series of paintings, so I'm not in a rush." She took out her cell phone and looked at Yan Ruo with bright eyes.
"Why don't we add each other's contact information first? When you are free, please contact me."
Now that they have said so, it would seem ungrateful if I refuse.
Moreover, the Zhou family has a great influence in South City. If Yan wants to stay here and develop, he will inevitably have to deal with them in the future.
After adding each other's contact information, the two did not stay for too long.
Yan Ruo had an appointment with the air conditioner installer in the afternoon, and Xu Shaoyu also had a video conference to attend.
"I'll take you home first, and then we'll have dinner together after the meeting."
"good!"
From Zhou Qinglan's perspective, the moment the two looked at each other, they seemed to be glowing.
The exquisite profile and tacit understanding in the eyes are better than movie shots.
I couldn't help but sigh, "It would be great if both of them agreed to be my models. I really want to draw this scene."
When Master Zhou saw his precious daughter staring at Xu Shaoyu's back, a loving smile appeared on his face.
But when he saw Yan Ruo sitting in the passenger seat, his brows furrowed.
The moment Zhou Qinglan turned around, a doting smile immediately appeared on his face again.
"Lanlan, what do you think of Xu Shaoyu?"
Zhou Qinglan's eyes were clear and he answered without hesitation.
"He has good looks, a great figure, and an extraordinary aura. He is definitely the best among men."
Over the years, she has traveled all over the world to collect folk songs and met countless handsome men, but she has never seen a man better than Xu Shaoyu.
Those who are more handsome than him don’t have as good a temperament as him; those who have his temperament are at least over 50 years old.
Thinking of Xu Shaoyu's decisive rejection of the proposal to be her model, Zhou Qinglan sighed somewhat frustratedly.
Seeing this, Zhou Shiyang thought that she was attracted to Xu Shaoyu, but the other party was too cold.
He raised his hand and patted Zhou Qinglan's shoulder, comforting her.
"Don't worry, although our family is not as powerful as the Xu family, as long as Xu Shaoyu wants to develop in South City, he will definitely not be able to avoid our Zhou family."
"This Xu Shaoyu has the entire Xu family firmly in his hands at such a young age. His character and abilities are both outstanding among the younger generation. He's just a bit cold-tempered."
"However, my Lan Lan is so nice, he will know how good you are after a few more interactions."
Zhou Qinglan's eyes lit up instantly when he heard this. Once they got to know each other, could he convince him to be a model?
"Dad, next time you have the chance, you must invite him to your home more often."
Not long after I returned to the community, the air conditioner installer came to my house.
A total of four air conditioners needed to be installed in the living room and the rooms, and it took a whole afternoon to complete the task.
Yan Ruo rubbed her shoulders, locked the door and went downstairs. As soon as she reached the gate of the community, she ran into Chi Yu who was carrying a lot of bags.
I quickly helped her share the two handbags.
After entering the room, Chi Yu threw his things away, sat down on the sofa, tilted his head, pounded his shoulders, and spoke while panting.
"It's a good thing I ran into you, otherwise I don't know how I would carry these things upstairs."
Yan Ruo glanced at the things piled up like a small mountain in the living room.
"Are you traveling or shopping? Why are you buying so many things?"
It would be fine if he didn't mention it, but as soon as he mentioned it, Chi Yu felt full of bitterness.
"From now on, I must travel quietly and never tell my relatives and colleagues. They all ask me to buy things from the duty-free shops on the island. I have become a purchasing agent."
She took out a piece of A4 paper from her bag and said, "Look at this list. It's this that allowed me to experience a day trip to the duty-free shop yesterday."
Yan Ruo patted her shoulder sympathetically, then stood up and got her a bottle of water from the refrigerator.
"Although I know you are very tired, don't be tired yet. You should pack up and rest early. You still have to go to work tomorrow."
Chi Yu looked at her blankly, and suddenly cried out, "Ah~~ Why do you have to remind me of this cruel reality?"
"No, I've been consuming too much energy these past few days. I need to have a big meal to replenish my energy. Want to join me? It's my treat!"
