Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
It was the first time Hai Tang had met someone who came in to buy a painting but did not choose the painting and only asked about the price.
After hesitating for a moment, she pointed to a forest oil painting hanging on the right and said,” The price of this painting is more than 22,000. I painted it myself, and the idea came from…”
Hai Tang wanted to explain the background and concept of the painting to him in detail, but she was interrupted by the middle-aged man.” No, no, no, you don’t have to explain it in such detail. How about this? I want a hundred paintings like this.”
“A hundred? I can’t draw that many.” Hai Tang was a little surprised. Although she was pleasantly surprised by the large order on the first day of opening, she still shook her head.
The middle-aged man took out a card and stuffed it into her hand.” Mrs. Gu, this is a card worth three million yuan. I want to order 100 of these paintings. As for whether the paintings were drawn by you or what kind of paintings they are, it doesn’t matter. The main thing is that I hope you can help me convey my feelings to President Gu…”

When she heard this “Mrs. Gu”, how could she not understand that the man in front of her was not here for the painting at all, but for Gu Yun.
Although this middle-aged man used the excuse of buying a painting, he was actually trying to bribe her, hoping to use her relationship to get into Gu Yun’s good books.
Seeing Hai Tang remain silent, the middle-aged man continued to flatter, really don’t need you to tire yourself out. As long as you mention me in front of President Gu, my name is Liu Tao. I’m willing to serve President Gu at his beck and call. Oh right, this is the opening gift I brought for you. I wish Mrs. Gu’s business is booming and getting better.”
With that, a ruby necklace that was obviously not an ordinary item was stuffed into Hai Tang’s hands.
Hai Tang didn’t even think and immediately refused, can’t do what you said.” If she caused Gu Yun to owe the other party a favor for the three million yuan
and tne ruby necklace, witn tms precedent, more and more people would come to bribe and curry favor with her in the future.
The middle-aged man thought that Hai Tang was rejecting him because she found it troublesome, so he quickly smiled apologetically and said,””Actually, it doesn’t matter if you give me the painting or not. As long as you give me this opportunity, I’ll definitely not forget you when I’m rich in the future…”
Hai Tang simply returned the card and necklace to him and chased him out.” Sorry, we only sell paintings here. We don’t do anything else.”
As soon as Liu Tao left, three middle-aged women dressed like noblewomen entered the shop. When they saw Hai Tang, they surrounded her affectionately.
“Mrs. Gu, you’re so young and beautiful!”
“You’re so classy. President Gu has such good taste!”
“Why is your skin so good? She’s indeed a natural beauty!”
Hai Tang did not know them and was a little confused.” You are?”
Lady Number One held her hand and smiled.””l’m the wife of Manager Song, President Gu’s subordinate.”
Hai Tang greeted somewhat unnaturally,””Hello, Mrs. Song.”

Hai Tang turned her head and nodded at her.””Hello, Mrs. Chen.”
The other noblewoman, no. 3, came up to her and introduced herself, “My husband is the representative of the company’s sales department. President Gu even praised him at the meeting last week.”
With that, Lady Number Three winked at Hai Tang with a proud expression.
Hai Tang felt a little helpless and could only continue to greet him.” Hello, Mrs.
“Aiya, President Gu’s wife is really approachable and kind to others!”The rich ladies all laughed in unison and squeezed around to talk to her.
“Mrs. Gu, your shop is so beautifully decorated. You have such good taste!”
“Mrs. Gu, I feel like we hit it off the moment I saw you. Why don’t we have afternoon tea together and play cards next time?”
Hai Tang felt a great deal of pressure being called ” Madam Gu ” by ladies twice her age.
She interrupted the chattering ladies.” Sorry, ladies, are you looking to buy a painting?
“Of course, we’ll buy it. Mrs. Gu opened the shop and we’re here to support your business.”Lady Number One quickly replied.
“Of course, we also want to get to know you, Mrs. Gu. You’re indeed elegant and beautiful. Recently, everyone in the company has been saying that President Gu dotes on Mrs. Gu to the heavens.”Lady Number Two continued..
