Don't Say You're Heartless (Modern Edition)

34 Anxious

Shen Qiuhua sat in the corner sipping tea. The weather was exceptionally good today— the sky was a clear, deep blue, making it seem especially high. She couldn't help but wonder, 'What is Yang Qiong doing right now?'

At that moment, Yang Qiong was sitting in the car, playing with her phone. Suddenly, she heard the sound of an engine. Since her ears were sharp, she could tell immediately that this was no ordinary car. She turned to look and saw a luxury car driving into the parking lot. After the car stopped, a man in casual clothes got out. He looked around Yang Qiong's age but carried himself with remarkable composure. He wasn't particularly handsome, but he wasn't unattractive either. Coupled with his steady demeanor, he was still quite impressive.

Yang Qiong raised her eyebrows. "Young and wealthy, huh?" She had to admit, she was a bit envious of people like him. After all, she had a beautiful wife to take care of. The thought of it made her feel bittersweet.

The man locked his car and walked into the hotel with the ease of someone familiar with the place.

Yang Qiong didn't pay much attention and returned to her game.

By this time, Shen Qiuhua had already risen and moved to the conference table, ready to start writing. There wasn't much left to do, so she thought she might as well finish quickly and head home with Yang Qiong.

She had already completed a piece earlier, so now she only needed to write the cover. After some discussion, the elders decided to name the collection "Yuanshan Calligraphy Collection," after the Yuanshan Hotel. Shen Qiuhua selected her brush, suspended her wrist, and began writing in standard script. The five large characters 'Yuanshan Calligraphy Collection' were completed in one fluid motion, drawing applause from those around her.

Everyone present is an expert, and no one was just there to go through the motions. As soon as the characters were written, not a single person felt any resentment. It was no easy feat for a woman to produce such bold and grand characters.

Old Li, standing with his hands behind his back, watched and remarked, "Rare! Very rare indeed! Xiao Shen, are you free later?" His words were clearly an invitation.

Shen Qiuhua understood but had no intention of accepting. "Mr. Li, I have something else to attend to later. If these characters are satisfactory, I'll take my leave now."

Old Li didn't make the decision alone. He consulted with the other elders, who all praised the work without any objections. Seeing that her work was accepted, Shen Qiuhua immediately prepared to leave.

"Grandpa!"

As Shen Qiuhua was bidding farewell to Old Li, a sudden voice called out. She turned to see the casually dressed man approaching Old Li.

Vice President Huang laughed and said, "Enyi, you're here! It's been a few days, and you've become even more composed."

Most of the people around clearly recognized the man and greeted him with smiles and nods. The man nodded back in acknowledgment.

Old Li smiled at Shen Qiuhua and said, "Xiao Shen, this is my grandson, Li Enyi. He's the owner of Yuanshan Group." Then he introduced her to Li Enyi, "This is our association's new member, surnamed Shen. She's a fine young woman."

Shen Qiuhua's clear, bright eyes met Li Enyi's as she nodded, "Hello, Mr. Li."

Li Enyi nodded back, "Hello, Miss Shen."

"Mr. Li, I'll be leaving now." This brief interlude didn't disrupt Shen Qiuhua's plans, she still left early as she had intended.

However, she was unaware that a pair of eyes had begun to follow her every move as she left.
