Hong Kong is in full swing

Gu Dajun only heard another sentence: "Manager Yu, my behavior today did seem a bit abrupt. I hope you can keep this secret and don't tell An Jing the real reason why I came to see you."

"Ok."

Yu Wan nodded in agreement.

At this moment, An Jing appeared not far away. Seeing the two standing there, she smiled brightly and trotted towards them, asking, "Uncle Gu, Boss! What are you two whispering about standing there?"

Gu Dajun looked slightly surprised when he heard himself being called "boss" so affectionately.

However, before he could react, Yu Wan beside him quickly took over the topic and began to explain: "We were discussing some work matters."

Then, she turned to the lively and cute little girl next to her and asked, "So, what would you like to drink? It's my treat today."

"no thanks!"

An Jing smiled and declined the other party's kindness. She carefully took out a large banknote from her small wallet and proudly announced, "Now I can earn money on my own. Let me pay for it this time!"

Seeing this scene, Yu Wanqing couldn't help laughing out loud. She turned her head to look at Gu Dajun beside her, and just caught the latter's indescribable emotion towards An Jing in his eyes - there was both immense love and pity for the child, mixed with a bit of guilt.

He warned An Jing, "Don't drink too much cold drinks. It's not good for your health."

Hearing this, An Jing couldn't help but look at the cup of smoothie in Gu Dajun's hand. The corners of her mouth rose slightly, with a teasing expression but she didn't say anything.

"Okay, okay," An Jing nodded gently and responded, "Then go back quickly."

Gu Dajun shook his head, turned around and said thank you to Yu Wan.

Yu Wan smiled and said it was no problem, and walked him to the door.

Just as he was about to turn around and go back into the store, he saw Duan Fei step forward to stop Gu Dajun, talk to him for a few words, then open the car door and get in.

After watching the car gradually go away, An Jing walked to Yu Wan with a cup of strawberry milkshake and skipped briskly.

"Boss, when are we going to sign the contract?"

An Jing asked excitedly.

"Sign now."

Yu Wan adjusted her mood, gestured towards the other party, and said with a smile, "Let's go."

Following behind Yu Wan, An Jing seemed very happy as she followed her into the store.

Yu Wan opened the trunk and took out a new labor contract and handed it to An Jing.

"Take a look at this first."

As she spoke, she handed the document to An Jing.

An Jing took the document and read it carefully.

After confirming that everything was correct, he nodded solemnly and said, "You can sign now."

Then, Yu Wan took out a black metal pen from her bag that looked quite textured and bright in appearance and handed it to An Jing.

"Did you know that many merchant families give their children their first fountain pen when they come of age, to sign important documents? This isn't just a gift; it also represents the elders' hope that their children will grow up to be independent professionals."

After a pause, Yu Wan continued, "Today, I also want to give you this pen."

"I hope that in the future you will not only become smarter and more capable, but also gradually grow into an outstanding and admirable woman."

"Congratulations on becoming an adult!"

Yu Wan said gently and expectantly.

After hearing these warm words, An Jing's eyes suddenly became moist, and she agreed with a choked voice: "Okay..."

At this time, the weather outside was gloomy, with dark clouds covering the sky. The wind was blowing stronger and stronger, and it seemed that a heavy rain might come at any time.

At a recent auction, Mei Shuying's latest work was sold for a staggering 120 million yuan!

This astonishing figure not only shocked the art world, but also caused a huge response on various online platforms.

One topic after another is on the hot search list, and the discussion about Mei Shuying on major platforms is extremely heated.

After Lin Jintong handed her the share of the money, he also specifically reminded Yu Wan to try not to browse any related content online in the next few days.

"The comments online are really messed up."

His tone was full of helplessness and annoyance.

In fact, Yu Wan has become accustomed to similar voices over the years. They are just the same old tune, criticizing her for her first-class money-making methods.

But to reassure him, she obediently replied, "Okay, I won't watch it anymore."

Whenever other people's criticisms of Yu Wan were mentioned, Lin Jintong would always show extreme dissatisfaction and frustration.

This time is no exception, "Ah..."

He sighed, "You're only twenty-five, and you've already endured these accusations for eleven years—ever since you were fourteen. It's true, as they say, that hatred often outlasts love."

After hearing this, Yu Wan immediately tried to comfort the other person, "Don't think like that. Earning so much money is not easy in itself, so it's normal to be talked about. What's important is that we can do our job well, and leave the PR matters to the professional team. I'm really fine, and you don't need to worry too much about me."

Seeing that her friend was still having trouble letting go, she continued to explain, "I know you're not reacting this way just for me. After all, we've been running the Mei Shuying brand together for over a decade."

She paused, then added firmly, "We share honor and disgrace."

After hearing this, Lin Jintong relaxed a little and nodded gratefully.

After the two exchanged a few brief words, they reluctantly hung up the call.

After putting down her phone, Yu Wan looked out the window and found that the scenery outside was becoming increasingly blurry - because the wind and rain were gradually getting stronger.

At the same time, I noticed that the flowers previously placed in the corridor seemed to have been replaced with a fresh batch.

At this moment, Huo Chuyan and Baogui were walking back together, talking and laughing.

Yu Wan came forward when she saw them, leaning her arms on the railing and asking with a smile, "Brother Baogui, you two seemed so happy chatting just now, what were you talking about?"

Baogui smiled innocently and replied, "Hey, we're just discussing what to eat tonight. The food here doesn't taste right to us."

After hearing this, Yu Wan deliberately teased, "Is it because Brother Baogui misses the taste of his hometown? Or is it because he misses Sister Tongtong?"

Bao Gui chuckled, a hint of joking on his face: "Who doesn't miss their wife when they're away from home? Especially our Mr. Huo, who was thinking about you all the time when he was in London."

There was a warmth and care in his words.

When Yu Wan heard this, she subconsciously turned her head to look at Huo Chuyan beside her.

There was a hint of shyness and uncertainty in her eyes, wanting to confirm the authenticity of these words.
