Changsheng: Peak at the Beginning

After learning about Mr. Dai Jianren's outrageous actions, the younger cousin of the Su family went to apologize immediately, because Mr. Dai Jianren followed her path. "This is indeed my mistake. I just thought that since you came to Shanghai, maybe you will start working someday. Blackstone is a mountain that cannot be avoided in the mainland in terms of art planning..."

"But Director Dai is a very considerate and understanding person. He showed it too often in front of you this time. It's probably because something big happened to his sister whom he has been looking for for many years."

Seeing that Susan didn't say anything but didn't look like she didn't want to listen, the younger cousin hesitantly told the private affairs of Director Dai Jianren: "Director Dai is also from Taiwan and grew up in an orphanage. It's just that his sister got lost when he was a child. For the past twenty years, he has been using his job to ask around for news about his sister."

"But, I recently found out that his sister is actually Miss Anna Shi, the ballet dancer who was previously accepted by Lincoln Center. Miss Anna Shi is also pitiful. She originally had a good boyfriend who pursued her after seeing her dance performance. As a result, because he was the only child in the family, his family urged him to get married and have children, and a crack appeared in their relationship."

"Later, Miss Shi Anna chose a career and went to dance at Lincoln Center, but due to a series of events she was ostracized to the point where she injured her ankle."

"And when Miss Shi Anna came back to seek comfort from her boyfriend, she discovered that her boyfriend had married another woman not long after she left, and that she was even pregnant."

"The most dramatic thing is that the woman who is married to her boyfriend in both name and reality actually has an admirer in the form of her brother. Fortunately, Director Dai has let go of that fruitless relationship and is concentrating on accompanying Miss Shi Anna to recover. Otherwise, I guess Miss Shi Anna will become a Wang Luping sooner or later."

Susan thought this was probably a plot from a TV series, but because it was a little far from her, she didn't care. However, in her heart, she still labeled Director Dai Jianren as unprofessional. It might not affect her cooperation with Blackstone in the future, but it would be better if the person in charge of the connection was not Director Dai.

In the literary and art circles of Shanghai, everyone was very curious about Susan, a young and internationally renowned talent. Especially when Katrina came to her house in person to decorate her home, people could see the background behind her. Later, Su's younger cousin revealed that the idol drama that promoted E-shine's jewelry and Universal Group's clothing, which was no less than "Meteor Garden", was organized by her personally, so more people were watching her.

Master Zhongshan Long, who had the closest relationship with Dai Jianren, certainly could not watch this young man whom he had high hopes for get into trouble with such a behemoth, so he approached the younger cousin of the Su family and planned to ask her to be the host and help ease the relationship.

The younger cousin of the Su family had just suffered a great loss at the hands of Director Dai Jianren, and would never make that mistake again. She just kept assuring Susan that she was a person of character, and she had helped explain the inside story, and that Susan and Blackstone would definitely have the opportunity to cooperate in the future.

Zhongshan Long had experienced those ten years and was a very insightful person. His cousin said that Susan must have further cooperation with Blackstone, but she didn't mention Dai Jianren at all. It was obvious that Dai Jianren's haste at the time really displeased Susan.

Of course, Mr. Zhongshan Long especially knew that it was no longer appropriate to bring up this matter. Besides, Dai Jianren did a good job afterwards. It was great to send small gifts to the door from time to time just to show his presence.

In order to take the matter a step further, Mr. Zhongshan Long personally went to Susan's home to give her tickets to his art exhibition. Although Susan was best known for her music and oil paintings, Mr. Zhongshan Long believed that she must have more abilities than what she had shown, so the two sides chatted for a while, and the old man went back feeling that he had met a rare friend regardless of age difference.

Mr. Zhongshan Long's works are mostly pottery and porcelain. Susan's favorite work is a small bowl called Happiness. When she passed by, there was another lady who was also quietly admiring it.

When Susan was admiring other people's works, she would not speak unless it was necessary. However, the lady standing next to her couldn't help crying because of this small cup, which inevitably made her look sideways.

The lady obviously realized that she had lost her composure. She wiped her tears and explained, "This bowl is called happiness, but it is as thin as a cicada's wing. I only saw the caution of walking on thin ice."

Obviously, something must have happened to this lady that made her sad, so after realizing the cautious emotions in the book, she directly attributed the author to the pessimistic side.

Susan's view was exactly the opposite: "This is a cup. When using it, you should hold it in your hand like this—"

Susan made a horizontal hand gesture, with the palm facing inwards, four fingers together and bent, and used the thumb to make a loose grip. "The teacup is supported by the thumb, index finger and base of the palm. When using it, the temperature of the tea is strictly controlled, because high water temperature can easily burn your hands."

"And being cautious as if walking on thin ice is not entirely due to pessimism. The pattern on the teacup is a pink weeping crabapple, which has a very rich meaning and connotation. The most representative ones are homesickness, peerless beauty, wealth and good fortune, shyness and pity, and bitter love."

"In my humble opinion, the author should have a lover who was separated from his lover when he was young. The other party is a beautiful woman who is far away from home. Now, at least to outsiders, she seems to be rich and safe."

"The author still can't forget that lover. During their separation, he must have paid attention to her news many times, but he was worried that his friendship would affect her, so he was hesitant. But the two may meet again someday."

The lady stood in awe of Susan. "My name is Chen Xinyi, and I'm from Taiwan. You are really knowledgeable. You can tell so many things from this small bowl, and even analyze the author's love life clearly."

"And this weeping crabapple. I have never seen such a beautiful flower. It is pink and tender. I just think it is very beautiful, like a beautiful and shy little girl, but I didn't know that it has so many flower languages ​​and meanings."

Susan could see that Ms. Chen Xinyi had some talent in pottery, so she encouraged her by saying, "I can see the weeping crabapple, know that this is a bowl, and can even tell the flower language and meaning of the weeping crabapple. These are all knowledge that you can get by reading a book. Feelings seem very subjective, but they can be truly expressed in various forms, but the people who see them may not be able to capture these."

"Ms. Chen Xinyi, I think your senses are very sharp and you are suitable to try the art path."

Chen Xinyi admired Susan even more. This lady in front of her was not only very beautiful, but also very elegant. Most importantly, she was knowledgeable and talented. She could tell at a glance that she was suitable for the path of art. Thinking of learning pottery from Master Zhongshan Long, she felt a little embarrassed. "Thank you very much. I am learning pottery from you now."

Susan understood. It seemed that Master Zhongshan Long was the master of Ms. Chen Xinyi.
