Changsheng: Peak at the Beginning

Susan and Chen Xinyi were in a harmonious atmosphere. Master Zhongshan Long, who was standing a little further away and listening to the whole thing, said to his friend Dai Jianren, "I told you not to act too hastily. Now that you've offended Ms. Susan, your position as director will be taken down sooner or later."

Dai Jianren would not allow Master Zhongshan Long to tease him. "Some people still cannot forget their childhood sweethearts. The other person is as beautiful as a crabapple flower and should be living a happy and prosperous life. Although Ms. Susan said that you may still meet again, what if?"

Zhongshan Long was not provoked by Dai Jianren's tone to rush to defend himself. Instead, he smiled and said, "Before I could propose, she married a wealthy Taiwanese businessman arranged by her elders. I heard that her family has relatives in politics, so it shouldn't be a problem for her to keep her wealth."

"Although I have always been obsessed with her and that relationship, I never wanted to disturb her peaceful life. Choosing the weeping crabapple and making the cup as thin as a cicada's wing does represent my inner caution, but in the end I just feel a little regretful and pessimistic."

Dai Jianren thought that Master Zhongshan Long was just being stubborn, and said indifferently: "As the saying goes, if you keep thinking about it, there will be a response. I look forward to the day when your response comes."

Master Zhongshan Long pretended not to hear and looked at his young disciple Chen Xinyi who was talking to Susan with a kind face. He couldn't help showing off to Dai Jianren, "Look at Yi Xin. Now that she has won the praise of Ms. Susan, her future will be much easier."

Dai Jianren actually underestimated Susan. He couldn't help but say to Master Zhongshan Long, "I am confused by your high praise for a junior like Ms. Susan. It is true that she is very popular among Westerners in music and oil painting, but she is young and has produced very few works. It is unlikely that she will be important enough to affect Xinyi's future."

Master Zhongshan Long was truly surprised this time. He said that why was Dai Jianren, such a good social person, so careless and abnormal in handling his relationship with Susan? It turned out that this guy had no idea how rich Susan's family background was!

Pulling Dai Jianren to a secluded place, Master Zhongshan Long warned Dai Jianren in a responsible manner: "How could you make a mistake in such an important person!"

"There are thousands of talented artists in this world, but Susan is the most outstanding one among the younger generation. Not only because her works are wildly loved and sought after by Europeans and Americans, but also because she directly tears apart those artificial illusions with her own talent."

"My friends in Europe told me that Susan was almost made a concubine by those so-called nobles for a period of time. But you see, now she is still doing her job well and leisurely, while those who have taken action against her have not had a good ending!"

"So why do you think she is just a simple and sensitive artist?"

"She is definitely not a puppet pushed out by those European and American nobles to make money!"

The world of art should be simpler, but artists are human beings with emotions and desires, and people who pursue art are often more greedy. Master Zhongshan Long himself is unable to change anything, but he can restrain his own behavior and thoughts.

He used to think that his friend Dai Jianren was different from others, but now, it seems that this guy has become a little too arrogant recently.

Susan had a good chat with Chen Xinyi, but she had no intention of contacting other people, so after parting with Chen Xinyi, she found Master Zhongshan Long himself to explain the situation and left first.

After everyone left, Master Zhongshan Long said to Dai Jianren who came out from next door with infinite regret: "Look, the nobles you thought were puppets are actually the ones who hold the initiative all the time."

Dai Jianren smiled bitterly: "It's all my fault. I found that I was indeed a little arrogant. Fortunately, I discovered it in time. If I hadn't seen such changes, I don't know what would happen in the future."

Master Zhongshan Long has always been thinking about Dai Jianren, his friend regardless of age difference. Otherwise, he would not have gone out of his way to save his reputation and help Dai Jianren. "Since you have realized your mistake, you should make up for it. But I think Ms. Susan is not someone who will change her mind so easily. Anyway, I suggest that you choose a suitable person to contact the other party again."

Dai Jianren was certainly reluctant to let a young and promising artist like Susan slip away from him, but he had already lost the opportunity, and the other party did not seem to have forgiven him. Even though the other party said that there would be a chance to cooperate with Blackstone in the future, he could only sit on the bench there.

However, no matter how unwilling he was, he could only call over his newly recruited assistant Huang Yimei and ask her to contact Susan.

Huang Yimei graduated from a top art academy and came from a scholarly family. Not only is she beautiful, she is also very elegant and intelligent. Dai Jianren himself is very fond of such a woman, so naturally he cultivated Huang Yimei more. Now is the time to test what Huang Yimei has learned.

When Dai Jianren contacted Susan on behalf of Blackstone, Huang Yimei was not aware of the inside story. It was just that the rumor in the company that Susan was a very difficult person to approach, and if there was any flaw in a person, she would completely deny him/her. The reason why Blackstone could continue to contact Susan was all because of the relationship with Susan's cousin who ran a film and television company in Shanghai.

Huang Yimei quickly prepared the gifts and after making an appointment with Susan's mother, Ms. Su Lixiang, she prepared to visit.

She was wearing a light yellow puff shoulder top, and an umbrella skirt that was a lighter yellow than the top and had large red roses printed on it. It had an oil painting texture and was just above her ankles. The headband on her head was also goose yellow. When she walked into Susan's back garden, she saw a stunning beauty, rare in the world, sitting in front of a wall of large red roses. She even breathed slowly and lightly unconsciously, for fear of disturbing the beautiful scene before her.

Su Lixiang brought Huang Yimei over, asked Huang Yimei to sit down, and when she brought the tea and snacks over and put them down, she couldn't help but smile and said, "Miss Huang is really the most charming beauty I have ever seen. Sitting with our Shanshan, the sunlight in this garden is much brighter."

Huang Yimei has been praised as a beauty by everyone since she was a child. Of course, with her upbringing and knowledge, she is not so short-sighted as to think that her only appearance is impressive. But when she met Susan today, she did feel ashamed of herself.

Without waiting for Huang Yimei to be modest, Susan introduced: "This is my mother, she is here to take care of my life."

Huang Yimei quickly stood up and greeted her: "Hello, Auntie. I didn't know you were Ms. Susan's mother. I'm sorry for being so rude."

Su Lixiang liked such pretty and polite children. She pushed Huang Yimei down to sit down and said with a smile, "Oh, Miss Huang is too polite. I can only do some small things for Shanshan in life. You have something serious to talk about, so I won't disturb you. Just chat by yourselves."

Su Lixiang really likes Huang Yime, and Huang Yime is very polite even when she doesn’t know she is Susan’s mother. She likes this child very much.
