Volume 1 Chapter 124 Conspiracy Unfolds

  Qin Luoshui heard the sound and just made a gesture of looking at her clearly, smiling: "Some beauties don't need to look at their faces to feel their extraordinary demeanor. Miss Ye is in high spirits today, do you have any activities?"

  Ye Feng withdrew his gaze from Sang Hong and nodded politely as he walked away with an elegant demeanor.

  There's a hint of amusement in his eyes, this guy is getting more and more tasteless, he can actually take a liking to such an unfashionable woman, has he gotten tired of being surrounded by beauties for too long and turned to like the sweet and innocent type?

  But this woman can't even be considered a little innocent, look at her gait, just like a man, completely without reserve.

  But why does it seem so familiar?

  It should be the first time I met her.

  Xiang Hong felt uncomfortable being looked down upon, so she politely pursed her lips and glanced at the people behind her, then followed Qin Luoshui's lead and stepped aside to let them go first.

  After waiting for the group of people to pass by, Sang Hong turned around very decisively and seriously looked at her back until she disappeared from view after turning around the curved staircase.

  "A woman who can make a career out of dressing up is truly admirable," said Sang Hong.

  "What's worth envying, so-called fashion icons are people who are covered in vanity labels from head to toe. What she has learned through simple training, you can learn too, but the courage and perseverance you have, she may not necessarily have even if she learns it."

  Qin Luoshui smiled and gestured for her to continue walking forward.

  "But at this moment, I may really envy her, and I also yearn to be able to appear in front of everyone with elegance and poise. Vanity is something that cannot be eliminated from every woman's body."

  Xiang Hong knew Qin Luo Shui was comforting himself, and immediately walked forward, saying casually.

  "Go ahead, and when you come down from upstairs, you'll find the image that suits you and fills you with confidence." Qin Luoshui raised his hand to help her open the short door blocking the stairs, like a hotel entrance in a western movie, and led her forward.

  Finally entered the interior of the building, only to see a large hall with a circle of black leather sofas, where men sat waiting, dressed neatly and looking like social elites. They all held books, newspapers, and magazines with great patience, even though there were over a dozen big men sitting there, yet not a single person was chatting or laughing, nor could anyone be found smoking.

  Qin Luoshui led Sang Hong through the crowded hall and into a workroom with ease.

  He stretched out his hand and knocked lightly on the door. A voice from inside said "come in". He then turned the handle and took Sang Hong inside with him.

  Behind the worktable in the room, a man with exquisite makeup sat on the soft chair. He wore clothes that couldn't be discerned as masculine or feminine - of course, this was judged from Sang Hong's perspective.

  Moreover, he actually smiled at Qin Luoshui with a charming smile, raised his hand to make a please-sit gesture, and then sternly waved his hand to let the several subordinates who were standing in front of the table to receive training leave.

  Xiang Hong was swept away by the gaze he threw at Qin Luo Shui, making her skin crawl with goosebumps. Cough cough cough - how could this man have such a seductive and charming gaze? Was he in a relationship with that good-for-nothing Qin Luo Shui?

  The man's smile was brilliant, and Xiang Hong took a closer look, feeling that any woman who saw it would be so ashamed she'd want to die.

  Wow, this is probably the first pervert she's ever seen who can be compared to Qin Luoshui in terms of beauty, and Qin Luoshui still looks quite masculine, but this guy is simply a Thai ladyboy.

  "Luoshui, long time no see. Today isn't about this little girl's business. I reckon you won't be able to turn around in this small plot of land either."

  "Haha, I know you're busy, no need to waste your precious time which is more valuable than gold. Take a look at this girl's appearance and help her design a life image that highlights her characteristics without being too showy. In two days, she'll be attending an elder's birthday banquet, it's her first time appearing in front of the whole family, please take care of it."

  Qin Luoshui spoke straightforwardly.

  "Longevity banquet! How strange! The young lady from the Ye family, who just left, also asked me to help her pick out an outfit for the longevity banquet. I hope you two won't stick together."

  The man raised his thumb and observed the appearance of Sang Hong's eyebrows and figure.

  Xiang Hong suddenly snapped back to reality from the visual feast of two handsome men, taking a cold breath. She pondered how this girl had been so quiet for so long, only to realize that she had been secretly building up her strength all along.

  What can she compare with those world-famous models?

  And also let the same person help pick clothes, isn't this looking for trouble?

  Qin Luo said at once:

  "Qin, I'm a rough person who's never been associated with fashion and trends. You're actually letting the master who designs clothes for international supermodels help me with my image? Isn't that putting them in an awkward position?"

  Qin Luoshui smiled slyly at the man: "Hear that, little girl is questioning your abilities."

  The man's gaze shifted from Qin Luoshui's body:

  "Hmm, little girl, your words are straightforward. Although you look delicate and pretty, judging from the way you walked in just now with a bold and confident stride, I must say that you have a charming and alluring demeanor for a young woman. May I ask, when you call yourself a rough person, is it because of your background or upbringing?"

  "Hmm, indeed a master, with just one glance, you've seen through my background." San Hong nodded.

  Qin Luoshui disdainfully said, "Is this trivial skill worth your praise?" Then she turned to the difficult man and said, "Give her a comprehensive design, but don't be too exaggerated. Contact your brand stores and prepare at least three sets of clothes for her. Of course, the more the better. The clothes in her wardrobe are all in this style, it's embarrassing to see people. As for the store name and address, design details, just send them directly to my computer, I'll help her review and modify. Tomorrow she can bring her boyfriend over to pick out the clothes."

  The man chuckled and said, "This is easy to say, what I mentioned to you before, how have you considered it?"

  "What's there to consider? That's simply impossible. I'm introducing you to a financial source, don't think about taking advantage of it!"

  Qin Luoshui frowned and looked displeased.

  Xiang Hong listened with rapt attention as the two handsome men engaged in a rare and thrilling fight.

  "Blackmail? Oh, Luo Shui, how could I possibly do such a thing to you? I just don't want this treasure to be buried and wasted, I hope you can seriously consider my suggestion."

  The man stared at Qin Luoshui with an unusual appreciation and infatuation in his smile.

  Xiang Hong's little heart was jumping with joy, what's your suggestion?

  Look at this loving gaze, will he fall in love with Qin Luoshui and try to hook up with her? Ahhh, a gay couple appearing beside her!

  Still two absolute beauties.

  "Hey, what's with that silly smile?" Qin Luoshui waved his palm in front of Sang Hong's eyes, thinking that this girl was beyond salvation. Would her experience at the longevity banquet become an eternal nightmare?

  Xiang Hong blinked her eyes and returned to reality: "Have we agreed?"

  Qin Luoshui thought that he was actually being coerced by this shameless guy just because he helped her, and couldn't help but feel speechless and helpless.

  "Little girl, you've convinced him to agree, and I can naturally help you design a decent image." The man couldn't see through Qin Luoshui and Sang Hong's relationship, but he could tell that Qin Luoshui was concerned about Sang Hong.

  Xiang Hong snapped back to reality, realizing that this matter was too important. Although the birthday banquet was important, Qin Luoshui's personal happiness was even more important. At present, she had not seen any indication of Qin Luoshui being gay, so naturally she wouldn't speak carelessly. After a moment's consideration, her little brain started turning:

  "Alas, I'm not anyone to him, my words don't count. Director Qin has always been a straightforward person, if he feels embarrassed, it must be that your suggestion is somewhat too much for him."

  I won't bother with this image design, I'll just use this face, it's not the first or second time in my life that I've lost face, losing face to entertain everyone is also a good deed.

  "Let's go back, Qin."

  She stood up as she spoke.

  Qin Luoshui looked up at Sang Hong in surprise, this girl actually had such enlightenment, without even asking for any suggestions, and didn't have the slightest idea of persuading him to benefit herself, she directly helped him decline.

  He sighed, having seen too many women in his life who wanted money, material things and pleasure, using him wherever they could, without any hesitation. But with her, he couldn't bear to take advantage of her, why was she so foolish?

  "Shang Hong, this matter of the longevity banquet is a big deal. Apart from him being able to successfully carve you into a jade within a short period of time, no one else can do it. Don't you even consider how to persuade me?"

  Qin Luoshui was being very annoying and kept making snide remarks.

  "Hehe, although it's said that friends are meant to be used, but this usage also needs a bottom line. Letting a man more delicate than a woman transform a woman more masculine than a man, what kind of result will there be? Don't you think it's absurd?"

  You believe he can carve me out, I'm worried that he'll turn me into a monster instead, haha, thinking about it this way is quite balanced.

  Xiang Hong's mind suddenly cleared, and she regained her senses. She felt that letting a man like him covet Qin Luo Water's beauty was truly unbearable, especially since Qin Luo Water seemed very displeased.

  "Oh, oh, oh, the little girl's words are really sharp. A man more delicate than a woman - I want to hear this, I've never heard anyone evaluate me like that before;"

  I think women are born to enjoy beautiful clothes, makeup, brands and fashion, show off their charm and be the queen of parties. It's a waste of resources if women don't know how to indulge in all the colors of being a woman.

  Luoshui, let me show you my true strength with this design;

  "Bring out the feminine qualities in this little girl, I've made a perfect design according to your requirements, consider my suggestion, after she attends the birthday banquet, if it's successful, you'll owe me one, if not, bring people to smash my signboard."

  The man saw they were about to leave and immediately spoke up to detain them, taking the initiative to make concessions.

  "Did you smash your sign? But when we came, we didn't see any sign of this store all the way?"

  Xiang Hong spoke up foolishly, hinting to Qin Luoshui that this guy's words were full of loopholes, and such an ambiguous bet could be agreed to.

  Qin Luoshui understood her meaning, pursed his lips and smiled, saying to the man:

  "You can be so confident, using your own reputation as a bargaining chip. I won't help you out of petty-mindedness. Alright, I'll agree to it. You put in some effort, and if you can make her happy, I might consider helping you out."

  "Alright, it's settled then. Heaven has gifted you with this figure and appearance, you were born to belong to the world of fashion, to be the dream of all women and men around the globe."

  "Believe me, I will push you to the forefront of fashion and let you experience a kind of splendor that cannot be experienced in the business world."

  The man's eyes became even more fervent, causing Sang Hong to tremble. She weakly asked him: "Excuse me, what is the stake he has to lose? Why does he belong to all the men and women in the world? Wouldn't they skin him alive?"

  "Be my exclusive fashion model."

  "What's exclusive? Fashion model? Not, not that one..." Xiang Hong felt like she must have misheard, it was just letting Qin Luoshui guest star as a fashion model, did he need to make his face so ugly for this?

  "Don't you think it's a pity that he doesn't become a model with his looks and figure?" the man explained to Sang Hong.

  "Ah? So it's about making him a model, huh? Haha...” Xiang Hong let out a sigh of relief and turned to Qin Luo with a smile, “You're really petty, walking on the dazzling catwalk under the flashing lights, becoming the focus of many media outlets, and getting both fame and fortune. You still want others to beg you?"

  "It's just that others ask me to be their model, and I still have to consider it carefully. You just agreed readily!" The man looked at Sang Hong, who suddenly changed her attitude, and immediately smiled in a way that was dazzling to the eyes.

  Qin Luoshui was puzzled by Sang Hong's sudden change in attitude: "You just helped me refuse with a serious and stern expression, how did you change so quickly!"

  "Hey - I thought he had taken a liking to you, wanted you as his sidekick. Look at that expression on your face, like you're walking on thin ice. I didn't know it was just to get you to go up on stage and shake your hips, I almost pushed you up there."

  Xiang Hong laughed happily, isn't this a good thing that makes everyone happy!

  Qin Luoshui supported his forehead with his hand, and after a long while, he managed to squeeze out a sentence: "Sang Hong, don't you think that I doing that thing is a bit... degrading? I'm a hero who has conquered the business world with my brains, how can I become a model who relies on my looks to make a living?"

  "You're stupid, you can't rely on both your brain and looks to break into the fashion circle. With your courage and talent, won't you be able to live out another level of life?"

  Xiang Hong was speechless. Of course, she didn't understand how much Qin Luoshui hoped that others would ignore his good looks and see his intelligence instead. His overly obsessive pursuit had become somewhat pathological.

  The man echoed in agreement with Sang Hong and began to express his expectations for Qin Luo Water:

  "It's just that, actually, you're very fashionable, but you don't really understand fashion. Everyone sees the superficiality and extravagance of this circle and thinks it's just a world where people with money and leisure can dominate everything by burning cash."

  The truth is not like that, many people are obsessed with fashion and beauty, making a career out of it, pursuing and believing it to be a true art form. However, in a society where money dominates everything, the fashion world has gradually lost its integrity, just as the little girl said, facing money and power, fashion has gradually lost its dignity.

  As long as the sponsors pay enough, there will be people who claim to be designers speaking for them and creating momentum. There will also be high-priced models seriously performing those trash that may not have any fashion taste at all.

  I chose you, not only because your material is suitable for eating this bowl of rice, but also because I value your brain. There are many young and handsome boys who are better than you in terms of age and figure, but they don't have the same life experience, charm, and ability as you do. I need someone like you who can't be distracted or tempted by anything to truly interpret my designed clothes.

  "If the two of us can join forces, you can integrate all the fashion resources and business networks at your disposal. After gaining a deeper understanding of fashion trends, I hope it's someone like you, who understands beauty and has an eye for appreciation, to dominate our fashion circle."

  Xiang Hong applauded and helped: "Good, good, well said, Qin. I think you can try it out. Let's not mention the beautiful prospects for now. Just say you like collecting beauties, the fashion circle is definitely a place where beauties gather. How about it? You won't lose out."

  Qin Luoshui felt that having such a friend was absolutely something she owed from her past life. How could he turn against her faster than turning the pages of a book?

  "You two think that with just your mouths, you can fool me into not knowing who I am? In the modeling industry, we eat youth rice, and I'm already thirty years old. Where can I go to snatch the rice bowls of younger people?"

  You don't think I'm pretending to be young, but I think it's all so uncool, no way, old man.

  "Be more serious with your design, if we're satisfied, I can at most help you show it off on the catwalk, don't have any other illusions."

  Qin Luoshui expressed his attitude directly.

  The man immediately covered his mouth with his hand and laughed, then said: "Okay."

  Qin Luoshui looked at his smiling face and suddenly felt like he had fallen into some kind of trap. He took a cold breath and said impatiently, "Alright, alright, I'll help her with the draft."

  "Alright, I'll take care of this myself and see it through from start to finish. You can go ahead and leave now, just leave Miss Sang here."

  The man waved his hand at Qin Luoshui, indicating that he could leave now.

  "Don't play dumb with me, you've already got a draft in your head after taking one look at her. Hurry up and get it done, I'll wait here for you. We still have things to do later, you've got 20 minutes." Qin Luoshui knew his level, there was no way he'd keep Sang Hong waiting around with him.

  "Alright, alright, twenty minutes might not be enough, I'll try my best. You just wait patiently." The man didn't put on any airs and nodded at Xiang Hong, pointing to a red swivel stool in front of him.

  Xiang Hong stood up and walked over to sit down, facing him calmly and composedly.

  The man stretched out his hand and pressed the control button on the table. The red top light poured down gently, covering San Hong's whole body.

  Of course, the corresponding data of Sang Hong's body also appeared accurately and clearly on his computer.

  He narrowed his eyes and stared at Sang Hong for about five minutes, then ordered Sang Hong to stand up, stretch her waist, squat down, bend over and turn around, making some routine movements. He quickly calculated the data he needed, and then he started drawing design diagrams on his computer with a mouse.

  Qin Luoshu sat on the sofa in the back, looking at Sang Hong's straight and upright sitting alone on a high stool, and for an instant, she had an illusion that her whole body was surrounded by red light, making her transparently beautiful like an unattainable spirit.

  She is forever beyond his reach.

  It's also good this way, without possession there won't be loss, friendship is the most stable and reliable, and also warmer.

  ……

  Ye Qian led his entourage down the stairs step by step.

  "Who is the girl who was just walking with President Qin? Does anyone know her?"

  She felt somewhat vexed and couldn't help but ask.

  Her professional assistant, that foreign woman with clear articulation, replied to her:

  "I remember her picture clearly. She's the one who recently sent your brother to a military tribunal, and was teased by him and attempted to hijack."

  Ye Feng was taken aback and looked at her in horror: "Are you sure you didn't see it wrong?"

  "No, the red spots on her face are quite distinctive, still clearly visible." The assistant was apparently very diligent, as it was her duty to eliminate all negative news related to Ye Feng.

  So she is the protagonist of Song Shuyu's "One Angry Crown for a Beauty".

  Ye Qian's heart sank, even someone like Qin Luoshui could be dispatched, it was absolutely not just because of Song Shuyu's face, she was too clear about Qin Luoshui's multiple emotions and coldness towards women.

  "But then he responded in a loud voice: 'So, she is Song Shuyu's hidden girlfriend?'"

  "Yes." The assistant echoed, "I hope your hype goes smoothly. Only this land of yours has such an incomprehensible and unimaginable frenzy. Whatever is associated with the powerful and famous can be easily followed by the masses without any principles;

  "I also look forward to your new interpretation and explanation of the brand story."

  Ye Feng raised an eyebrow, this old witch was still reminding her of her duties, and immediately replied:

  "Let countless city dwellers who have long forgotten what love's surname is, rediscover the real fairy tale that can support dreams and love — this is my interpretation;"

  When necessary, you can let the reporters launch a "national mobilization to find out who he is" award-winning activity. Whether the outcome is sad or happy, our brand is the winner.

  If this dream comes true, the brand may become a witness of beautiful and eternal love that never changes.

  "If this dream is shattered, the brand may become a symbol of a lovelorn girl's pursuit of faithful love. As a foreigner, you might not understand how Chinese people position faithfulness in love."

  That assistant laughed and said, "Miss Ye's current status and influence, I think it has a lot to do with your strategic arrangements. As for the quality of chastity in love, I think it's not just the Chinese who attach great importance to it, but any nation has a fervent admiration for chastity in love."

  Ye Qian turned her head and scrutinized her for a moment: "I know what you're insinuating, thinking that I'm betraying the man I've been loyal to?"

  I also want to tell you that doing your own job well is enough, pretending to be stupid when it's time to pretend to be stupid, creating momentum when it's time to create momentum, and not saying anything that shouldn't be said.

  Don't think that by stepping on me you can rise to the top. If I succeed, I will naturally let that man go to you; if I end in tragedy, then you will also have a tragic ending."

  The assistant's eyes dimmed slightly and he replied, "Understood."

  Ye Feng lowered his body and sat in the car, looking at the assistant who followed up, suddenly smiled and whispered:

  "If you understand, then hurry up and bring people to do it, if I'm helped, maybe I'll stay and not leave."

  That "National Movement, Find Out Who He Is" is trending today, as for the result...

  It turns out that Qin Luoshui is a famous playboy, and that woman who never takes off her military uniform suddenly has such a feminine charm today? I'll take a photo of her too and release some explosive material, burying a thunderbolt to detonate at the critical moment.

  Hehe, it's best if these two things appear on the same page."

  "Excuse me, what is the critical time? That is, at what specific time did these two things appear on the same page?"

  That assistant was obviously moved, her execution and purpose had always made Ye Feng both disgusted and dependent.

  Ye Qian thought of Song Shu Yu's cold and ruthless treatment of her brother, and felt that this counterattack must be beautiful. Even if she couldn't win back his heart, she had to create a painful spot for him, take the opportunity to hype it up, and also give her family an outlet for their anger.

  She leaned over and told her the time, then the assistant opened the car door and went out again. She gave some instructions to the people in the second car, then got into the last one. After a while, a subordinate had already taken the camera equipment to find a good angle, it seemed they were going to ambush Qin Luoshui and his group here.

  Yeh Yan smiled and raised her hand, letting the driver drive away.

  Qin Luoshui and Sang Hong came out half an hour later, she thought of the picture on her own appearance, no matter how she looked at it, she felt comfortable, soon full of confidence, the gloomy mood hit by Ye Xian was immediately thrown away, everything was ready, just waiting for the invitation to come.

  She deeply felt the charm of that androgynous man, one picture and a interpretation, just made her confidence surge instantly, she deeply felt that she was cured.

  "Hey, Qin, I think you'll be fine following him as a model. This man may look more refined than women and make people uncomfortable at first, but after a while, he's quite pleasant to look at. Moreover, his understanding of clothing and women's psychology is far deeper than yours."

  "Just by looking at his design drawings, I feel like I'm a charming and unique beauty. If you master this set of skills, then what kind of beauty can't be easily picked up?"

  Xiang Hong strongly urged Qin Luo to drink water.

  Qin Luoshui drove while scornfully saying: "You sold me out to someone just because of a design drawing? Your conscience must have been eaten by dogs, helping an outsider push me into the fire pit."

  "Hmm, even if it's a fiery pit, it's also the sacred fire of the phoenix nirvana!"

  It's not a crime for a man to be handsome, your appearance makes many men jealous to death, but you take it as a shameful sign, afraid that people will look down on you because of your face. Why can't you let your face play a bigger role? With this whole body of yours, once you step onto the stage, you'll understand why God created someone like you.

  Qin Luoshui felt that he had met an even bigger scammer than himself today, and was so annoyed that he almost choked.

  "Let's go have dinner, Honghong." Qin Luoshui said while driving.

  Xiang Hong felt like she was going to faint: "It's just past three o'clock, are you sure we're having dinner now?"

  Qin Luoshui nodded.

  "But he said he would come back for dinner tonight, I'd better wait for him at home, and have dinner with you, I'm worried that he will be anxious if I don't wait for him." Sanhong said hesitantly.

  Qin Luoshui laughed and said: "You're not his nanny, nor are you the matriarch of their family, why do you automatically put yourself in the kitchen, waiting?"

  These two people, from the very beginning of their interaction, decided who would have control over the initiative in their future interactions.

  "Come on, can cooking dinner really reveal who has the upper hand?" Sang Hong thought he was being a bit too alarmist.

  "That's for sure, for example, the meals at your house, if you cook many times, then cooking will basically become your responsibility. Indeed, he is used to you going to the kitchen; afterwards, when the nanny cooks, he won't even bother eating it. If you often wait for him, he will be late or come home late, thinking that you waiting for him is a matter of course. Once he's at home and you're not, he'll scold you in anger."

  Qin Luo gave her some trivial things, hinting at how she should gain dominance in the family.

  Xiang Hong uncomfortably twisted her head and finally sighed, "I will always be at a disadvantage in front of him, being controlled, I guess this life is hopeless."

  "Can't you struggle a bit before dying?" Qin Luoshui also began to persuade.

  "I've been on the verge of death countless times, and every time I was defeated by him. You're not even married, and you don't have any practical experience with these tactics, so stop giving me random advice."

  Xiang Hong resolutely refused to have dinner with him and hurried back home to cook.

  Qin Luoshui had no choice but to bring out his trump card: "I'll introduce you to some of Song Grandfather's hobbies and some things to pay attention to when interacting with him, do you want to listen?"

  "Can't you talk to me on the way back when you drive me home?"

  "No way, I'm starving. I've helped you with such a big favor and even sold myself out for it. You can't even sacrifice once to have dinner with me, and what's more, I'm the one treating."

  Qin Luoshui pretended to be pitiful and sought sympathy, she really wanted to hear about the things that Song Shuyu followed her back with, of course, she had to work hard to find opportunities to dig up gossip.

  Xiang Hong took a look at the time and then dialed Song Shu Yu's phone number, saying that she had asked Qin Luo Shui to help find an image designer, and had just finalized the design draft. She wanted to invite Qin Luo Shui out for dinner as a thank you, and asked if he could come along too.

  Song Shuwei was chatting with his elders and asked about the location, saying that they should eat first, and if he could go out later, he would drive over to pick her up.

  Xiang Hong hung up her phone and nodded at Qin Luoshui, indicating that she could join him for dinner now.

  Qin Luoshui immediately turned the steering wheel and turned into a newly opened Italian restaurant nearby.

  Xiang Hong thought that when she first approached this level of living, she had a dreamlike illusion about life. In just half a year's time, she was able to become friends with Qin Luo Shui, a wealthy and unapproachable tycoon, and Song Shu Yun, a powerful figure, became her lover, and even became a special soldier that she never dared to think about before.

  She felt like everything was going smoothly as if it were a dream, seeming unreal.

  Qin Luoshui carefully ordered dishes with the menu, while Sang Hong sat beside him, calmly reading the half-understood menu, looking relaxed and unhurried. She even asked the waiter to report on various salad dressings one by one, discussing them seriously with Qin Luoshui as if she had eaten authentic Italian cuisine before. The ordering process left Qin Luoshui somewhat stunned.

  "As expected, you're indeed teachable. It seems that the book I gave you has been well-studied." Qin Luoshui stopped being critical and smiled in praise of her.

  "This is a must, you told me that Mr. Song likes Italian food and red wine, I specially took this as a topic to study, in a while when the dishes are served, I will carefully savor the essence of this eating culture, striving to be able to accompany Mr. Song to eat with ease and comfort."

  Xiang Hong heard his praise and wasn't modest at all. She had endured until now, so since she had the time, she naturally had to put in a good effort.

  "Oh my, it turns out that this Old Man Song is actually my idol. Compared to him, the luxurious life I'm enjoying is like a small boat versus an aircraft carrier - there's simply no comparison. This old man is truly a talented and refined gentleman."

  Being an official can be as great as being a king or noble in ancient times; subordinates are all over the world.

  He retired from the mainstream and engaged in art, unexpectedly becoming an internationally renowned painter, his woodcuts can be called a school of their own; this person understands art, politics, investment, and enjoyment, already in his nineties, wearing a beret, jeans, fashionable leather shoes, holding a pipe, smoking cigars, loving sports cars.

  "What's even more terrifying is that he can flip over and crawl under the car to repair it at any time. Is such a man human? The magical powers of a thousand-year-old demon!"

  Qin Luoshui talked about Song Grandfather's glorious history, listening to Sang Hong's eyes wide with wonder, and it turned out that her understanding of the old man was only a glimpse.

  "This art and power, many times are fundamentally impossible to develop in parallel, many people have contracted bureaucratic air, and can no longer appreciate the depth of art."

  Xiang Hong couldn't help but admire it based on her limited experience.

  "Your family's Song Shuyu has probably inherited his family's excellent genes, and is extremely sensitive to politics. I think he will be the most accomplished one in your family in the future; you can rely on him to bring honor to your wife."

  Qin Luo praised her.

  Xiang Hong sighed, "Alas, the road ahead is fraught with difficulties. Haven't you seen how many rotten peach blossoms keep floating onto him? This man isn't mediocre, he's not worth looking at; but if he's too excellent, he'll easily attract flies."

  I feel like I'm walking on thin ice with him, always waiting for a bolt of lightning to strike and blow me up.

  "It's good to have such vigilance," Qin Luoshui commented.

  Two people ate and chatted, a meal that lasted from three o'clock in the afternoon to eight o'clock at night. Song Shuyu hurried over with a smile on his face, adding dishes and wine. He looked at the design drawings handed over by Sang Hong, and his eyes lit up:

  "Wow, this is really a case of 'the right person for the job'! Hong's fiery personality has actually brought out his strengths and enhanced them. Luo Shui, thank you so much - I didn't understand these things as well as you do. In the future, if Hong needs to acquire anything, you can just go ahead and advise her directly."
