The Hidden Heiress Is a Secret Big Shot

Chapter 128: Chapter 128 Provoking Qingwu? See Who’s Embarrassed! Chapter 128: Chapter 128 Provoking Qingwu? See Who’s Embarrassed! “What is something not so good?”

Annie was seriously looking at the road ahead, her hand steady on the steering wheel, her gaze firm.

“In my eyes, anything that goes against morality, law, and ethics is not a good thing.”

Qingwu chuckled softly.

“I think so too.”

Annie breathed a sigh of relief. The young lady shared her perspective, so she dared to share what she had discovered!

“One of the people playing cards with Miss Shen Yurou was unusually close with her… I checked Miss Shen Yurou’s account. Apart from the money transferred by Mrs. Shen recently, the rest was from that person, and it’s quite a sum.”

“But from their conversation, it seemed like a normal senior-junior relationship. I initially thought it was a relative of the Shen Family, but later found out it wasn’t, so I paid a little more attention.”

To Annie, it was definitely not normal for someone to give a large sum of money without reason!

“The main thing is…” Annie bit her lip, as if finding it difficult to speak, finally saying after a long pause, “Miss Shen Yurou calls that person ‘Dad’…”

When she saw the chat records, Annie got goosebumps all over.

She thought she had seen something strange, but then she realized that the other person really acted like a father when talking to Shen Yurou. However, she hadn’t heard of the Shen Family having a habit of recognizing godfathers!

Qingwu nodded. Being able to interact with Shen Yurou in such a manner and giving her a large amount of money, the person was probably Shen Yurou’s biological father.

If memory served her correctly, Mrs. Shen publicly claimed Shen Yurou was an orphan.

Now it seemed maybe it was all to divert attention.

“What is the person’s identity?”

“They’re also in business, but it’s from the Su Family side, so we’re not convenient to investigate further.”

The Su Family’s power in Beijing was not to be underestimated. Although not comparable to the Pei Family and the Shen Family, they still held certain influence. It wasn’t that simple to investigate someone from the Su Family.

Annie’s decision not to investigate further was correct, too.

“I understand. Thank you for driving me. Go home and rest. We’ll talk about the later tasks after you sleep.”

Qingwu glanced at the dark circles under Annie’s eyes. Clearly, she hadn’t slept well and probably hadn’t had an easy time following Shen Yurou these past few days.

Annie was moved to tears!

The young lady had let her drive her, just to let her go home and rest?

What a kind-hearted young lady she was!

Annie nodded like a pecking chick, watching Qingwu walk into the gallery, reluctant to leave…

If only she could work for the young lady, at least she could speak with her every day. She so wanted to switch jobs…

Tan Hua stood at the door, waiting respectfully for Qingwu.

“Miss, a few partners of the gallery have suddenly announced they are ending their cooperation with us. But we still have an exhibition, and the invitations have been sent out. If we can’t hold it as scheduled, the gallery’s reputation and economic benefits will suffer greatly…”

Tan Hua was almost in tears with worry.

Qingwu entered the gallery, her tone calm, “When is the exhibition?”

“Thursday, which is tomorrow. We also invited many artists and media. It’s too late to withdraw the invitations, but those suppliers suddenly won’t cooperate, and they even refuse to pay breach-of-contract penalties…”

Pushing open the office door, Qingwu sat down, glancing at the information on the suppliers.

Was it just a coincidence?

They were mostly companies related to the Su Family, or companies with connections to the Su Family, generally industries that had grown relying on the Su Family.

“How many paintings are we still short?”

“A hundred and thirty paintings, and a gallery hasn’t been set up yet. We can’t temporarily get the materials, and only that one company in Beijing has them.”

Seeing that the exhibition might not be held, Tan Hua was anxious.

Why wasn’t the young lady even a bit worried?

Could it be she was overwhelmed by the big occasion?

“Change the materials, alter the scheme for setting up the exhibition hall. I’ll solve the issue with the paintings.”

Change materials? It’s not that simple!

Tan Hua cautiously said, “Miss, the gallery has a very good reputation in the industry. We don’t use those poor materials because they’re not good for our guests either…”

Qingwu glanced at him coolly. “Construct the framework with trusses overall, use aluminum for the main frame, and alter the hall’s style into an oil painting one, using Master Ji Changfeng’s paintings as the fundamental tone.”

“That’s possible, but the truss company…”

Didn’t he already say they refused to cooperate?

If he could find a suitable truss supplier, he wouldn’t be so anxious and frustrated!

Qingwu picked up the phone and dialed Shen Boyi.

“Brother, I need a batch of trusses, for the gallery tomorrow.”

“Okay, I’ll send it over right away.”

Tan Hua perked up instantly!

How did he forget, their new boss was Miss Shen of the Shen Family!

What materials could the Shen Family possibly not get?

“But we don’t even have that many paintings, let alone Master Ji Changfeng’s oil paintings. The entire gallery only has five…”

“I have a way, don’t worry about it.”

Tan Hua initially wanted to say something more, but seeing Qingwu’s calm demeanor, he swallowed his words.

Forget it. Even if there aren’t enough artworks, at least the gallery setup would be done, and they could use those unrefined paintings in the warehouse to fill in… though the gallery was bound to lose face!

Qingwu glanced at Tan Hua. “I’ll solve the paintings, and ensure the exhibition won’t be worse than expected. But I want to know why those suppliers suddenly chose not to cooperate?”

Even facing high penalties, they refused to work with the gallery. This didn’t make sense.

Moreover, they were companies that had worked with us before, not first-time collaborators. This was harming their own reputation, lacking any business ethics.

Tan Hua hesitated, mumbling for a long time, “Uh… this is because these companies heard something… saying the gallery changed its owner, so they…”

Those companies were like old foxes, previously subdued for the sake of Old Master Zuo Jing’an, behaving like grandsons.

Now, with the gallery’s new owner, they began to act arrogantly, thinking that since Qingwu was new to the industry, she hadn’t been hosting dinners or exchanging pleasantries…

Now showing Qingwu contempt, their aim was to make the young lady bow and learn the ways of handling social interactions in business…

Qingwu sneered.

“All these old people have crap in their heads, always thinking about playing the old father figure and teaching the younger generation, really seeing themselves as something significant. At this age still in this position shows how little substance is in their heads collectively.”

Tan Hua also thought so, but didn’t dare say it aloud!

The young lady, appearing gentle and soft-spoken, unexpectedly had such a sharp tongue!

“I bet they will show up tomorrow to see you embarrass yourself and expect you to beg them afterward.”

Qingwu chuckled slightly, saying lightly, “Embarrass myself? Just as well, I quite enjoy watching others embarrass themselves.”

Seeing her so composed, Tan Hua suddenly became curious.

Where would the young lady find so many paintings?

He too wanted to see those people embarrass themselves!

“Miss, I still have some collections at home that can be used to fill in. Would you like me to bring them over?”

“No need, I have a way.”
