“Hehe, I just knew that those ones were nothing beside you,”

Wang An was the first to rush and hug Rong Yue, while the other two were a lot calmer.

“Rong Yue, your painting is really beautiful. I hope that they give it back to you,” putting the competition aside, Wang Lei felt that it would be too unfortunate if she lost that painting.

Rong Yue didn’t mind. Either she got it back, or they kept it. She only went to the painting association because she needed money back then.

Now, she was doing all these only because of Grandfather Wang.

She had only her mother in the past and now. Right now, he made her feel like family.

With how the three Wang brothers always called her, too, she couldn’t help feeling like they were one big family.

“I’m sure that Grandfather would do the best thing for me. Anything he decides is fine.”

Besides, she was also tired; after all, they had come here since morning.

“That’s true. Grandfather cares about you even more than us and would not allow anyone to wrong you. Let’s leave this matter to him.”

Grandfather Wang Shu also left the stage and joined them where they were standing. The four of them with the addition of Master Wang, became the center of attention.

“From the moment the work was opened in front of me, I could already tell that they were yours,”

“Humph, thinking that their students could do something like that!” Grandmaster Wang snorted before he began to beam from ear to ear.

It was not hard for anyone to see how happy he was about the results of the audition.

More importantly, he was glad that he had been able to give President Pei a face slap.

“Master, a friend of mine is waiting outside, as I still have some other matters to handle, I’ll be leaving now.”

Wang An and Wang Bo rushed after her while Wang Lei walked with his grandfather.

“Why do you look this dejected? Did she refuse your feelings?” Grandfather Wang asked with a sneaky smile on his face.

Wang Lei, however, had a surprised look on his face.

“Hehe, you think you can hide it from me that you are interested in Xiao Yue?”

“It’s better to forget it. At first, I held such hopes, but the more I know her, the more I could tell that she is like a phoenix. She is bound to soar the skies and leave everyone in her path staring in awe.”

Grandfather Wang soared. After all, who didn’t want such an excellent daughter. But he knew his own grandson. And knowing the kind of person he was best.

He was someone that was very passive and would live life like a monk sometimes. Wang Lei would be unable to stand beside her and shine. And yet, he would be unable to give her the best kind of support if he stayed in her shadows.

“Even if you are interested in her, you are not suitable to stand beside her. It’s better to forget feelings like this early on…”

“Knowing her, she has already even known about your feelings and only pretended not to know.”

Wang Lei’s shoulders slumped with every of his grandfather’s sentences.

As he recalled Qin Yichen’s domineering figure as he pulled Rong Yue into his arms and then gave him a subtle warning, he felt that his grandfather was most likely right.

A girl that could make the most powerful man in their generation to hold her in such regards.

He was indeed over reaching.

“I understand, grandfather. I’ll treat her as my sister from now on.”

Grandfather Wang Shu nodded in approval.

“It’s good that you are still able to think clearly.”

As for Rong Yue, the two Wang brothers couldn’t find her in the crowd and she soon got to the basement garage and entered the car.

“Let’s go home. Little darling has been waiting for me for a long time.”

She had promised that she would take him out today, but things had gone on longer than she expected.

Now that they were done, that was the only thing that she had in her mind.

“Your painting was beautiful..” Qin Yichen said as he ignored what she had said regarding Qin Heng.

“You came inside?”

Seeing the surprise in her eyes, Qin Yichen chuckled and then used one hand to ruffle her hair while using the other hand to steer the car.

“Did you think I’ll miss an opportunity to see something like that.”

“My grandfather is a painting enthusiast. If the work is returned to you, allow me to exchange it with something of equal value. I’ll like to give him your painting.”

Growing up, the two brothers had been raised by their grandfather more.

As someone that had reached the peak level in the army, when it was time to settle down and enjoy more time with his wife finally, their grandmother died because she was trying to save his older brother.

Because of that, he couldn’t bear with the loss and would only allow Qin Heng to visit him.

However, Qin Heng wasn’t much of a talker. The great and heroic General Qin spent most of his time lonely.

Qin Yichen felt that Rong Yue’s painting would give his grandfather another perspective of his mother’s loss.

He didn’t explain any reason to Rong Yue but she nodded in agreement.

“There’s no need to exchange with anything, since you want it, I’ll give you. If they don’t return it, I’ll create something even better.”

Qin Yichen’s eyes glowed, and he nodded in agreement.

The drive home was unlike their typical rides.

The both of them ended up talking about her plans for infinity; after all, it was in a few day’s time.

“I’ll have Lu San deliver the invitation cards two days before, this way, it would not give a lot of people time to investigate and look into things.”

“Hmm, it’s better that way,” Qin Yichen’s mind also went to the scheming pair of siblings that had their eyes on Infinity and felt that it was better to take them unaware.

At the same time…

In another part of the capital, Li Zhelan and Li Zhuhai were seated in a private room.

There were two people in front of them.

“Didn’t you say that you would soon meet with the owner and give us the information today?” Li Zhelan asked with a fierce scowl on his face.

“Y..yes..”

“Before Manager Bai said she was going to come in a few days to check everything, but even now that business has started running, we have yet to see her.”

The other man was more stable and was able to respond without stammering.

“And you said it’s a young girl?”

“Hmmm, we didn’t see her face clearly, but from her voice, she sounds really young, sir.”

“I’ll be giving the two of three days to make her come to your branches. If you have to make all the equipment there to stop working or you would stage a play, the important thing is you must find a way,” Li Zhelan said.

The two of them nodded their heads repeatedly and then, with a wave of his hands, they rushed out of the room.

“Brother, do you think that these two are the best people to use? From what I see, they can’t drag the person out.”

Li Zhuhai felt that if they didn’t have her contact details, it simply meant they didn’t have any access to her.

If there was an emergency, the person they would call would be Manager Bai.

“Why don’t we grab that Manager Bai instead?”

Li Zhelan scoffed with disregard.

“Do you think that I haven’t thought of that also? I don’t know, but despite sending two groups to capture him on two occasions, none of them was able to get him, and I haven’t even heard from them.”

Li Zhelan wasn’t new to the business. If he couldn’t even hear back from the people he had sent, it meant the other party was very dangerous.

He also didn’t have any feedback that could make him analyse the strength of the other person.

“If we can’t even capture that Manager Bai, what makes you think we can deal with the real owner? It’s even possible that she isn’t even a young girl, and the girl they saw is just another person working for the boss behind the scenes.”

The more Li Zhuhai thought about it, the more worried she was, “I think that we should leave this company and get started on another one.”

On hearing her words, Li Zhelan frowned slightly as if he was contemplating it.

However, before he could make up his mind, his phone dinged with a notification.

As he picked up his phone and read through the message there, his face lit up brightly.

“Seems like even the heavens have decided that this company would belong to me. I have just gotten some news from the dark web.”
