Chapter 537: One thing at a time

After Yan Churan became the owner of this art center, her initial exhibition had already received a good response. However, the preparations were rushed, and many works were not able to be displayed in time. Therefore, she began preparing for this current exhibition, intending to bring out some even better paintings.

After resolving the issues at home, Yan Churan was able to immerse herself even more in the world of art.

She created several excellent pieces.

Zheng Qian had long ago instructed Manager Nie Kai to assist Yan Churan in every possible way. Whether it was media resources, various traffic support, celebrity buzz, or otherwise, under the combined effect of all these factors, the exhibition was now receiving significant attention.

One could tell just from the art center's parking lot; luxury cars were as numerous as fish crossing the river, too many to even take in.

"I bet that less than one-fifth of the people who came here actually understand art. They are either here accompanying their female companions, their wives, or they are here to take photos, show off, and check in on Moments."

Zheng Qian patted Wei Rusi on the bottom, signaling her to follow.

Wei Rusi held Zheng Qian's hand tightly as if to declare her territory. In the past, whenever Zheng Qian took liberties, she would always glare at him, but this time she seemed to tacitly accept it, to the point where Zheng Qian felt a bit unaccustomed to it.

The most eye-catching people at the scene were, of course, Yan Churan and Yin Yanyan.

But even the incredibly beautiful Yin Yanyan couldn't completely overshadow the other.

The beauty of the two was completely different; they had entirely distinct aesthetics, and it could be said that each excelled in her own way. Yan Churan possessed a beauty that was pure to the extreme, with a natural aura about her. Yin Yanyan was exquisite and stunning, highlighting a celebrity aura.

The scene was very lively, with many reporters and media outlets gathered here.

Even a certain second-tier girl group was there acting as atmosphere makers.

Of course, compared to Yin Yanyan, Yan Churan was just an artist who had recently risen to fame, not a celebrity. Those surrounding her were mostly professional media, while many entertainment gossip reporters crowded around Yin Yanyan.

"Yin Yanyan, may I ask if you have any behind-the-scenes stories to share about the character you played in this movie?"

"Everyone is very much looking forward to your performance this time; how did it feel to act opposite Chu Tiange?"

"It is said that the person who invested in this movie is very mysterious, he..."

Seeing that everyone was getting more and more outrageous, Yin Yanyan quickly put a stop to it.

Facing everyone with a beautiful yet graceful smile, she said slowly, "Today, our protagonist is the artist Yan Churan, who is my good sister. Although my movie is about to have its preview screenings, I hope that at this moment, everyone will focus more of their attention on her. To be frank, it is hard to imagine that these paintings came from a girl in her early twenties..."

Hearing Yin Yanyan's words, those reporters seemed to finally remember what the purpose of today was.

As she spoke, she also walked toward Yan Churan.

Consequently, these reporters swarmed toward Yan Churan, who felt immense pressure. But she also knew this was a rare opportunity; it was no longer the era where "good wine doesn't fear deep alleys." Without traffic, everything was futile.

Watching her, who was shy yet carried a natural spirituality, Zheng Qian felt that his efforts had not been in vain.

Such a wonderful girl deserved a better life.

"Brother-in-law."

Just at this moment, a "discordant" voice suddenly appeared beside Zheng Qian.

Zheng Qian immediately frowned, and just as he was about to turn around and slap someone, he held back. He had originally thought it was that moron Cui Jinghui, but upon closer inspection, it was actually Xu Huateng, which was why he suppressed the impulse. Hmm... he probably didn't do it on purpose.

However, Xu Huateng also sensed that something was wrong because he saw Wei Rusi holding hands with Zheng Qian, their fingers interlocked.

"Where is your sister?"

Zheng Qian did not pull his hand away from Wei Rusi's and asked casually. The original plan for today was that since he heard Xu Huateng was coming to Shanghu to handle some matters, he would come along with Xu Shuyun, and Xu Huateng also wanted to report the progress to Zheng Qian.

"Uh... it's like this. Originally, I went back to Yebai yesterday to handle some paperwork, and I thought about coming over with my sister today. There are indeed some things I want to report to you. But... just now when Miss Cui picked us up, my sister... she seemed to be in a bad mood. She said she suddenly remembered something at the company, so... she just went back."

Xu Huateng was not a nerd who only knew how to study program code.

On the contrary, frequently dealing with various investors, he was quite adept at reading the room.

Moreover, Xu Huateng also deliberately omitted the expression on Xu Shuyun's face when she left. She had already arrived at the entrance of the art center, but she still left. Her eyes were red, obviously on the verge of tears. It seemed that from the moment Cui Ziqing picked her up, Xu Shuyun already knew something.

"Alright, I understand. What did you want to say?"

Zheng Qian nodded slightly and did not elaborate on this topic with Xu Huateng. Besides, this kind of thing was not something to discuss with a brother-in-law. Zheng Qian's expression was extremely calm, so profound that it was moving.

"Oh, it's like this. Now, dream origin god has made a major breakthrough."

Mentioning this, Xu Huateng became very excited. "With your capital injection, we can launch by the end of the year at the earliest. During the New Year, everyone has some extra money, so we can arrange to seize this wave of dividends. It's just... regarding the publicity and distribution, we still need some funding..."

After listening carefully, Zheng Qian patted him on the shoulder.

"Of course, it would be best to launch before the Spring Festival, but don't be overly anxious about profitability right now. Don't be in such a rush to release gift packages; looking too greedy is not a good thing. Manage the timing well. As for the money, just apply to Xia Xixi."

"Is there anything else you want to talk about?"

Speaking to this point, Zheng Qian's eyes carried a hint of playfulness.

Xu Huateng was stunned at first, then seemed to finally understand the question Zheng Qian really wanted to ask.

He hesitated for a moment, looked at Zheng Qian earnestly, and said very calmly, "I don't want to get involved in the things between you two. After all, when it comes to emotional issues, only the two of you know best, and even family members can't say anything. And putting aside our other relationships, you... are my investor after all, aren't you?"

"After the launch, I definitely won't let you down. We... one thing at a time."

What a "one thing at a time."

This brother-in-law is really a talent.

"Alright, I know. By the way, you are all programmers, do you understand anything about quantum computers or optical computing? My research institute is currently tackling this project, and if you can provide support in this area, that would be great."
