Chapter 677 The Meaning of WPG Gift Selection, Research Progress, The Value of "Three Women Make a Drama"
An Wuyang asked Xia Yuqing what gift she had prepared, in order to determine whether the gift Xia Yuqing was giving was appropriate.

If Xia Yuqing's gift is inappropriate, it will still be quite awkward, even if Li Wenya and An Huchun don't mind.

Therefore, An Wuyang wanted to give Xia Yuqing her opinion in advance, and if it was not suitable, An Wuyang was prepared to intervene.

Faced with An Wuyang's question, even though Xia Yuqing didn't know An Wuyang's deeper meaning, she obediently explained.

"I chose a pen holder made of Jiading bamboo carving, one of the traditional crafts representing Shanghai. My uncle and aunt should have a pen holder in their office. This gift should be very practical, right?" Xia Yuqing explained her choice and the reasons behind it.

"This is a good choice!" An Wuyang praised.

Xia Yuqing's choice is really great!
A pen holder is both practical and thoughtful, and within the broader category of the Four Treasures of the Study, it is indeed a very suitable gift.

Furthermore, Jiading bamboo carving, as a representative of Shanghai's traditional crafts, also perfectly embodies the unique characteristics of Shanghai.

Xia Yuqing smiled; she was very happy that An Wuyang had approved of the gift she had chosen.

An Wuyang then looked at Lu Manman, "Manman, what gift did you choose?"

"I chose a tapestry woven from Wunijing handmade cotton textiles, with patterns of the Bund scenery and the Oriental Pearl Tower," Lu Manman explained.

"The handmade cotton textile techniques of Wunijing are a national intangible cultural heritage, which can well represent the characteristics of our Shanghai," Lu Manman added.

Lu Manman's choice was also very clever. She could have chosen a scarf, gloves, or clothes, but she chose a tapestry instead.

Giving gifts like scarves, gloves, or clothes can create a dilemma for the recipient.

Should the recipient of the gift use it?
Using these gifts would lead to aesthetic discrepancies and issues with matching styles, creating a dilemma.

But tapestries are different!

Tapestries don't need to be worn by the recipient; they're meant to be hung in the home. Whether they're actually actually hanging in the home or not, does that really matter?
That's why An Wuyang thought Lu Manman's choice of gift was very clever!

An Wuyang finally looked at Wen Xin and Zong Chunyan, and asked jokingly, "You two really prepared gifts?"

Wenxin slightly raised her chin and hummed in response, "Of course we prepared gifts!"

Zong Chunyan also seconded the motion.

"So what have you prepared?" An Wuyang asked casually.

In a heartwarming response, I prepared a "Wisteria Blossom Fridge Magnet" featuring the Suzhou Museum.

Zong Chunyan chimed in, "I've prepared a special product from Xishan: Yingxian Wooden Pagoda refrigerator magnets."

Compared to Xia Yuqing and Lu Manman's gifts, the gifts prepared by these two dance students were much more ordinary, but they still had their own unique characteristics.

Wenxin is from Suzhou, and Zong Chunyan is from Xishan, so the gifts they prepared represented their hometowns.

At the same time, refrigerator magnets also fit the gift-giving style of young people. They are neither expensive nor useless, and they can decorate the monotonous refrigerator panel very well.

More importantly, their gifts did not overshadow the main attraction; they were willing to play supporting roles, thus highlighting Xia Yuqing and Lu Manman as the two brightest stars.

With a warm greeting, she asked, "Mr. An, what do you think of the gifts we prepared?"

An Wuyang responded with a thumbs-up, "Pretty good."

An Wuyang added a reminder, "Manman, pack your things, we're getting ready to head to Shengqing."

While Lu Manman was packing her things, the other three dance students helped her, and in just over ten minutes they had packed everything and were ready to leave.

The GMC Savana van took everyone to Shanghai Hongqiao International Airport, where a Gulfstream G650ER was already waiting. After everyone boarded, the Gulfstream G650ER was ready to take off in just a few minutes.

Private jets have a very high priority, as their takeoff process is simpler and they generate less tail turbulence, which hardly affects large commercial airliners.

In less than two hours, the Gulfstream G650ER landed safely at Shengqing International Airport.

Given that Shengqing International Airport and the headquarters of Wugengtian Pharmaceutical Group are not far apart, with a travel time of less than an hour, and considering the no-fly zone around Shengqing International Airport, it would actually be quite troublesome to have an Airbus H-225 come to pick them up.

Therefore, An Wuyang and his group chose to travel by car.

Just over half an hour later, An Wuyang led everyone to the Hilton Hotel next to the Wugengtian Pharmaceutical Group. He selected the presidential suite for Xia Yuqing and Lu Manman, while Wen Xin and Zong Chunyan opted for the executive suite.

The price difference between the two is huge!
The presidential suite is generally priced at around 30,000 yuan per night, but the executive suite only costs a little over 1,000 yuan.

However, Wen Xin and Zong Chunyan had no objections.

There are indeed rumors circulating on Douyin that they are also An Wuyang's girlfriends, but do they not know the truth?
Besides, isn't an executive suite that costs a little over a thousand yuan a night better?
If they were to travel on their own, they wouldn't be willing to stay in hotels of this caliber!
An Wuyang first helped the four dance students check into the hotel, and then he contacted An Huchun.

While waiting for An Huchun to answer the phone, An Wuyang quickly said, "Dad, I'm back. Shall we have dinner together tonight?"

"I'm busy!" Anhuchun refused outright.

"Fu, Mo, and I are busy." After saying that, An Huchun hung up the phone without waiting for An Wuyang's reply.

An Wuyang was somewhat stunned as he listened to the beeping sound coming from his phone.

Not
He hadn't been back to Shengqing for so long, and he wanted to have a meal with his father, but he was refused.

An Wuyang tried to contact Fu Yuhang, but Fu Yuhang did not answer the phone.

An Wuyang contacted Mo Li again.

Mo Li answered the phone and spoke first, "President An, we are really busy. We have made some progress on the samples that Musk sent. We will probably have to work overtime until very late today. We have already had dinner. Chairman An really doesn't have time."

An Wuyang suddenly realized, so the research on the matter in Koreia has made some progress?

No wonder Anhuchun was so obsessed with it!

"I understand," An Wuyang sighed.

An Wuyang knew An Huchun's personality very well. When An Huchun was doing research, if there was progress, he would really become engrossed in it.

An Wuyang contacted Li Wenya again, thinking that he should first bring four dance students to meet Li Wenya.

Li Wenya answered the phone and casually asked, "What's up?"

“Mom, I’m back,” An Wuyang replied.

Li Wenya complained, "You're back, so why are you shouting like that?"

?

An Wuyang wondered if he was speaking loudly.
wrong!

An Wuyang's IQ suddenly increased by three levels. He keenly guessed that Li Wenya might have encountered an unpleasant case at work, so now she was going to use him as a scapegoat!

Therefore, An Wuyang did not refute, and he responded softly, "Mom, have you eaten?"

"I'm busy, I'll hang up if there's nothing else!" Li Wenya hung up the phone directly. An Wuyang breathed a sigh of relief; it was good that Li Wenya hung up, otherwise he would get scolded again!
An Wuyang didn't ask Li Wenya what difficult case she had encountered, or even inquire about anything else.

Because An Wuyang is very clear about one thing: do not easily get involved in cause and effect.

If he asked Li Wenya about the trouble she was facing, and he couldn't solve it, wouldn't he be making a fool of himself?
This is also where most people tend to make mistakes: they always like to care about what troubles others are encountering and always like to ask all sorts of questions, but they are unable to solve the problems.

An Wuyang said casually, "My parents are still working. We'll go eat by ourselves. What would you like to eat?"

Wenxin spoke first, "Qingqing, can we try your family's noodle shop?"

Xia Yuqing raised an eyebrow. She didn't agree immediately, but looked at An Wuyang instead.

An Wuyang glanced at Wen Xin, unsure of her intentions. Was she simply looking to try the noodles at Lin Family Noodle Shop, or did she have other ideas?

For example, if they go together, then Lu Manman will definitely have to go too.

Xia Yuqing's mother probably knows about Lu Manman's situation too. After all, Lin Xin isn't some caveman; surely she can go online.

Based on this, even more possibilities arise.

Did Wen Xin deliberately arrange for Lu Manman and Xia Yuqing's mother to meet in order to test the limits of tolerance, and thus explore further possibilities?
Don't be fooled by An Wuyang's earlier jokes about them preparing gifts for their parents and even teasing them that they are his girlfriends on Douyin.

But in reality, there was absolutely no safety or well-being.

So it seems reasonable that Wenxin was testing the waters?
This is what real interpersonal relationships are like!

Everyone has their own thoughts, and people's hearts are very complex. Even if they get along well and harmoniously, they still have their own considerations in certain details.

An Wuyang smiled and said to Xia Yuqing, "You decide this matter!"

Xia Yuqing first looked at Lu Manman, then at Wen Xin and Zong Chunyan, as she was also considering a question.

Is it a test that An Wuyang is putting her in charge of deciding this matter?
For example, is An Wuyang testing whether she has a tolerant attitude?

After Xia Yuqing got together with An Wuyang, her learning and cognitive abilities improved rapidly. She knew very well that, given her circumstances, it would not be enough to win An Wuyang over with just feelings.

Even though An Wuyang always favors her, such favoritism is too fragile!
That's right!

Xia Yuqing felt that such favoritism was very fragile!
Because such favoritism is An Wuyang's subjective attitude, if An Wuyang can favor her now, can he also favor others in the future?

Given this situation, Xia Yuqing must carefully consider certain issues when dealing with them.

For example, at this very moment, Wenxin made a seemingly ordinary, even logical, suggestion, which turned into a game of wits and communication between them.

Of course, such exchanges are difficult for ordinary people to notice.

Ordinary people feel that such a game is meaningless, since they cannot profit from it.

However, whether it's Wen Xin, Xia Yuqing, or even Lu Manman and Zong Chunyan, they can all gain huge benefits through such a game.

After a moment's thought, Xia Yuqing chose what she considered the best approach.

“No problem, let’s go to my mom’s place and try her cooking. My mom’s noodles are really delicious!” Xia Yuqing answered the question by praising her mother.

Such an answer may seem simple on the surface, as if it only limits the issue to food, but in fact it expresses her tolerance and generosity, and even reveals her mother's inclusiveness.

Is An Wuyang's other girlfriend, Lu Manman, going to see Lin Xin?

no problem!
Is a potential girlfriend also going to see Lin Xin?

No problem either!
Such a tolerant and generous answer certainly earned points in An Wuyang's heart, and An Wuyang was very satisfied with Xia Yuqing's answer.

An Wuyang chimed in, "Qingqing's mother's noodles are really delicious. I go eat them almost every time I come back, and I always dine and dash!"

An Wuyang added, "If I go over to eat noodles, you can't expect me to pay, can you?"

The four dance students, including Xia Yuqing, couldn't help but laugh.

An Wuyang's expression of not giving money was actually a sign of closer friendship.

After all, An Wuyang isn't short of money, but he just won't give it to him, which means he acknowledges this close relationship, which is why he won't give him money.

An Wuyang personally drove a Mercedes-Benz S450L with four dance students to Lin's noodle shop, followed by security personnel in two Audi A6Ls.

When An Wuyang arrived a moment later, Lin's Noodle Shop was still open for business.

An Wuyang led the group inside and called out loudly, "Aunt Lin, do you still have noodles?"

Lin Xin had already received the message from Xia Yuqing, and she knew everyone's identities in advance, so she showed no unusual behavior on the surface.

In response to An Wuyang's inquiry, she greeted her warmly and generously, "What else would you like to eat, An Wuyang?"

"Same as always, tomato meatball noodles," An Wuyang replied.

After answering, An Wuyang took the initiative to say, "Auntie, let me introduce you. These are all Qingqing's classmates. This is Lu Manman, and this is..."

An Wuyang introduced them one by one, and at the same time introduced Lin Xin to the three dance students.

Lin Xin responded, "I know Manman. When Yuqing went to take the art exam, our family and her family met together."

Should An Wuyang say: It's quite a coincidence?
This twist of fate led them to the same boyfriend!

"Manman, Wenxin, and Chunyan, what would you like to eat?" Lin Xin asked.

Lu Manman asked in return, "Does Auntie have any recommendations?"

"How about braised beef noodles?" Lin Xin asked, then gave her reason: "It's our signature dish."

"Then I'll have braised beef noodles, thanks for the recommendation, Auntie." Lu Manman accepted the recommendation.

Lin Xin then looked at Wen Xin and Zong Chunyan.

She responded warmly, "I also want braised beef noodles."

Zong Chunyan seconded, "Me too."

An Wuyang secretly observed their conversation. Their communication seemed fine at first glance, but An Wuyang sensed something different.

The exchange between Lin Xin and Lu Manman appears to be just a normal inquiry on the surface, but it is not actually that.

Lin Xin asked Lu Manman what she wanted to eat, and Lu Manman said she would ask Lin Xin to recommend something. After Lin Xin made a recommendation, Lu Manman accepted it. This was a subtle form of communication.

Lu Manman listened to Lin Xin's recommendation, which meant that she was willing to listen to Xia Yuqing and was willing to humble herself.

An Wuyang suddenly realized that the value of the saying "Three women make a drama" was still increasing.
