The fortune telling was so accurate that I accidentally accumulated a huge amount of merit!

Chapter 174 It's been so long since I've seen the young master smile like that~
Tan Chengbi sent his assistant to reply. Since that fan named Yunran admired him so much, he would give him face. After all, he was the kind of person who doted on his fans.

Yunran fell silent after looking at the time and location sent by the people from Brahma Art.

Ginseng Fruit muttered to itself, "Isn't this person a bit too impatient? Setting it for an hour later? Anyone who didn't know better would think he's the one desperately wanting to meet."

But thinking about it, the ginseng fruit felt it was understandable given the 'uniqueness' of this variant of the mythical beast.

There aren't many people like its host who can appreciate it, so if you catch one, you have to take full advantage of her.

Yunran packed up quickly and set off. That hour seemed to have been calculated specifically for her.

"Hello, Miss Yun, my husband is waiting for you upstairs."

Yunran looked around and saw not a soul in sight. If it weren't for the appointment, no one would usually come here.

No wonder the person in front of her guessed her identity right away.

However, what Yunran didn't know was that this was a private area, and it was normal for no one to be here.

Following the visitor into the oddly shaped building, Yunran realized that it was actually a private art gallery.

Although it looks exceptionally understated and luxurious, it's completely bare, without a single piece of art, as if it's about to go out of business.

Upon reaching the second floor, through the huge glass window, the back of a young man came into Yunran's view.

He was clearly immersed in creating his work.

Yunran: ...

They set a time in a rush, but this guy is still busy.

Even though she wasn't an artist, she knew that artists, once caught up in inspiration, could go for days and nights without eating or drinking.

She wasn't there to admire his creation process; showing it to someone like her who has no artistic talent would be a waste.

I was just about to ask her how long she would have to wait, and if it was a long time, she would come back another time.

Then she saw the person who was supposed to pick her up push open the studio door.

A moment later, the young figure turned around, smiled at Yun Ran, put down his tools, and came out of the studio.

Yunran was immediately embarrassed. She had just been thinking about him in her mind, but it turned out he wasn't showing off at all.

"Hello, I am Blank."

Before coming, Yunran had some doubts about this master named Blank, but now, all her doubts have been dispelled.

This kind of face with a full forehead indicates a life blessed with both fortune and prosperity, and a lifetime of glory and good luck. It has absolutely nothing to do with evil cultivation.

"Hello, I am Yunran."

Tan Chengbi had a very good first impression of Yun Ran, not only because Yun Ran bought his work (actually, she gave it to him for free), but also because Yun Ran had a pair of clear eyes that were not tainted by worldly desires.

As a member of the Tan family and the cousin of the Helian family, he had met all sorts of people since he was a child, and he could usually tell what kind of person someone was just by meeting them.

"I heard you really like my work? This is my private art studio, let me show you around."

Yun Ran only wanted to ask about the source of the mutated Qilin material. Always straightforward, she could only suppress the words that were on the tip of her tongue when she saw Tan Chengbi's enthusiasm.

We should at least give him some face. I've heard that artists are all very temperamental and individualistic. If we anger him and he stubbornly refuses to tell her, then we've come all this way for nothing.

Yunran could only follow Tan Chengbi and listen to him talk about art, which was like listening to gibberish to her. After the tour, Tan Chengbi was satisfied, but Yunran was dejected.

Fortunately, he didn't let Yunran say anything or offer any comments, otherwise, Yunran felt she would really be doomed.

"You must be tired from shopping. I've asked the chef to prepare afternoon tea. Please go to the lounge and sit down."

It was clear that Tan Chengbi was genuinely happy, and Yun Ran finally breathed a sigh of relief. This person wasn't too difficult to please, so asking questions later shouldn't be too hard.

Upon arriving at the lounge, we found it filled with various desserts and drinks, which looked delicious.

Yunran didn't stand on ceremony; not taking advantage of a good deal wasn't her style.

During their casual conversation, Yunran casually asked, "Those mythical beast series ornaments are particularly unique. They seem to be made of different materials than ordinary ornaments."

Tan Chengbi already felt that he and Yun Ran shared similar interests, and now that he heard that Yun Ran's love for the work had even reached the point of wanting to learn about the materials, he couldn't hide the joy on his face.

He immediately said without any concealment, "You mean the materials? To be honest, I've made quite a few ornaments before, but none of them met my requirements when they were fired."

Finally, I had someone find clay that had been stored in a porcelain family's cellar for over a hundred years, and only then did the ornament meet my requirements.

Yunran: ...

Rich kids who generate electricity for love are terrifying. She now thinks that the price she paid probably wouldn't even cover the cost of the raw materials.

The clay stored in the cellar of this porcelain family for over a hundred years—is that something an ordinary person can obtain? What's the difference between this and directly asking for someone's family heirloom?

While she was internally complaining, Yun Ran pretended to be surprised on the surface.

"I see. I was wondering why this ornament was so extraordinary. It was made with meticulous care from the very beginning, from the selection of materials."

Tan Chengbi felt very comfortable with this flattery. People say that as long as rich kids don't start their own businesses, they will live a life of wealth and luxury.

He is the kind of rich heir who, even if he spends his whole life starting businesses and fails every time, will still live a life of wealth and luxury.

There was no way around it; the Tan family and their in-laws formed a conglomerate that was simply too wealthy.

Those families on the rich list are just underlings of these conglomerates; a single word from them can bankrupt those families.

These days, he's only concerned with his hobbies, demanding the best of everything—that's a piece of cake for him.

“I see you’re quite interested in that clay that’s been stored for a hundred years. How about this, I’ll send you some later; I happen to have some left over.”

As he spoke, Tan Chengbi made a phone call to his assistant, as if wasting even a second was a waste of his life.

As darkness fell, Tan Chengbi reluctantly arranged for someone to escort Yun Ran back.

His assistant was carrying an exquisite box, but who would have thought that it contained a lump of mud?

The car had driven far away when the assistant, seeing his young master still smiling, finally found an opportunity to use that popular internet meme.

"It's been so long since I've seen the young master smile like that~"

Tan Chengbi immediately stopped joking and his smile vanished: "No year-end bonus!"

assistant:……

Halfway there, Yunran couldn't wait to open the box. Looking at the dark mud inside, she could indeed smell Hirano Jiro's scent.
