Hong Kong is in full swing

Hearing what he said, Yu Wan couldn't help but feel that the pain in her poor waist became even worse.

Just as she was immersed in self-pity, Baogui knocked on the door outside.

"Mr. Huo, the bouquet you ordered has been delivered."

Baogui's respectful and gentle voice came from outside the door.

"understood."

Huo Chuyan responded, then gently hugged Yu Wan beside him, "Remember you once mentioned wanting a bouquet of beautiful flowers? I didn't prepare them well before, so I brought them back especially for you this time."

Even things that Yu Wan herself had forgotten, he remembered clearly, which made her feel unprecedented joy and touched when she received the flowers.

They walked out hand in hand, and the scene before them surprised Yu Wan: the entire courtyard and both sides of the corridor were filled with various flowers - lily of the valley exuded a faint fragrance; platycodon bloomed with its unique blue beauty; roses were gorgeous; and peonies displayed a noble posture.

Walking among them, each petal seems to be swaying gently in the morning breeze and sunshine, as if autumn has not really arrived, but Huo Chuyan has created a world as gorgeous as spring in advance.

Later, when Gu Congwen met Yu Wan with a silk scarf around her neck, he did not realize that this beautiful silk scarf was actually worn to cover up certain traces.

He mistakenly thought it was just one of the fashionable decorations popular among young people, so he praised, "Manager Yu, this scarf is so beautiful. Where did you buy it? I also want to buy one for my wife as a gift."

Faced with this sudden compliment, Yu Wan announced the brand name of the scarf and said no more.

Then, the two quickly turned the topic to more practical work matters.

"I know you're sincere, but I have to be honest with you. This house has a special meaning to me, so it's not suitable for you to rent it to."

He paused for a moment and then suggested, "But we've been getting along very well these past few days. It's a rare chance, isn't it? How about this? I have a shop here. The location is quite good, and the price is very reasonable. If you're interested, I can rent it to you. What do you think of this idea?"

After listening to this, Yu Wan immediately agreed and thought that this proposal was indeed a good opportunity for her.

Then, the two of them went to the store to be rented for an on-site inspection.

They found that the store had a great location and the prices were within her acceptable range, making it very cost-effective.

Finally, the contract was signed smoothly with the satisfaction of both parties.

The moment they shook hands, Yu Wan felt the rough calluses on the other person's hands, and her eyes couldn't help but become gentle.

"Manager Yu, what happened?"

The other party asked with concern.

"Oh, no, I just suddenly remembered something I had forgotten."

Yu Wan quickly found an excuse to hide her inner surprise, "Uncle Gu, do you want to have dinner together?"

"Let's do it another day. I have other friends waiting to meet tonight."

Gu Congwen politely declined her kindness and said.

"Could that person be Mr. Huo?"

she asked tentatively.

"Not really."

Gu Congwen's eyes were filled with a subtle sense of confusion. "Actually, I want to meet the daughter of an old friend."

And so, they went their separate ways.

Afterwards, Yu Wan took out her mobile phone and casually browsed the news of the day. Unexpectedly, she saw the information that Mei Shuying's new work was about to be auctioned appeared prominently on the headlines.

——Isn’t this just taking the opportunity to make money?

——How clever! Another successful business operation!

——This is the so-called traffic star effect. Now everyone knows that she intends to make more profits through art.

She quickly flipped through the comments one after another, which were almost all filled with negative emotions and criticism.

He immediately called Lin Jintong's number and asked, "Is someone hiring internet trolls to deliberately smear us?"

A calm and clear voice replied, "Some of the negative news online stems from the recent controversy surrounding Duan Fei, but the main reason is that Mei Shuying's words and actions have caused public dissatisfaction."

He continued, "Don't take it too seriously. You'll just have to get used to some things sooner or later. Life will always be full of setbacks, but only by going through them can you become stronger."

"What could I be unhappy about?"

Yu Wan smiled slightly and said calmly, "I know what I want. From the beginning, I was very clear about my goal, so I won't get entangled in insignificant things."

A hint of determination flashed through her eyes. "From the beginning, I only viewed Meishu Film and Television as a business brand. For me, this is a great business opportunity, and I hope to gain more through this cooperation. You can't always have everything you want, and sometimes you have to learn to weigh the pros and cons. I know I don't have the capital, so I can only do my best under the current conditions."

After hearing these words, Lin Jin couldn't help but sigh, a hint of helplessness and regret in his eyes. "I blame myself too. If I hadn't contacted you back then, perhaps your path to art would be much purer now. Back then, you might have been able to focus more on the things you love without having to worry about so many practical issues."

Facing Lin Jin's self-blame, Yu Wan seemed very calm.

She comforted him, "If you hadn't contacted me, I might not even exist. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have the opportunity I have today. Let's not talk about this anymore. We still have to get back to reality. After all, there are still many practical problems that need to be solved. Is there any information you need to help me investigate this matter?"

Lin Jin nodded after hearing this and said, "Just quickly send us the remaining paintings you have. They may provide us with some useful clues."

"Got it. I'll get the information to you as soon as possible."

Yu Wan replied, a hint of urgency in her voice.

In the Huo family mansion in Shengzhou, Baogui felt relaxed due to the rare free time.

She walked around and returned home, walked through the flower-lined corridor to the study, and picked out a black robe for Huo Chuyan.

The study was quiet. Huo Chuyan was concentrating on reading, as if the whole world had nothing to do with him.

Seeing Baogui coming in, Huo Chuyan raised his eyelids and looked at her in confusion.

"Master, this suit suits you very well."

Baogui smiled and explained, "I heard that Miss Tongtong wanted to buy some local specialties, so I went to the store and on the way back I thought this dress would be perfect for you. You will definitely look different in it."
