The entrance to a jade shop.

Sheng Wanqing was still clutching the fake bracelet, her face turning pale and then red.

The few rich kids behind her didn't say a word.

The man who had been laughing the loudest was now looking down at his shoes.

The live stream camera is still on.

The onlookers are still there.

The green hue of the Changning bracelet in Yang Mi's hand slowly receded in the light, turning back into a grayish-brown color.

But no one dared to treat it as a worthless piece of jade anymore.

Eight hundred yuan.

Starting from one million.

These few words had already made Sheng Wanqing's face swell up.

Sheng Wanqing suddenly laughed.

"Yang Mi".

Yang Mi raised his eyes.

Sheng Wanqing placed the fake bracelet on the counter.

"I'll buy the one you're holding."

Yang Mi frowned.

Shen Ling'er immediately stepped forward to block him.

"No."

Sheng Wanqing looked at her.

"I'll offer one million."

The area in front of the shop was quiet.

The jade shop owner's eyes widened in astonishment.

Gu Changhe, however, did not move.

He only looked at the bracelet on Yang Mi's wrist.

Shen Ling'er looked up.

Is one million a lot?

Sheng Wanqing sneered.

"That's quite a lot for your show, isn't it?"

Shen Ling'er thought for a moment.

"My dad said, you can't buy brains for a million."

Zhao Lei almost slipped off his chair in the split-screen scene.

"This child insulted Miss Sheng and the million dollars with just one sentence."

Bai Sisi covered his mouth.

"Don't comment anymore, you might get banned."

The barrage of comments exploded.

"Here it comes! The threat of capital is on the scene!"

"Trying to buy a bracelet that costs at least a million for a million? Are you trying to snag a bargain on Shen Ling'er?"

"Hilarious, they've stumbled upon a treasure trove!"

Sheng Wanqing's expression grew even colder.

"Yang Mi, I have a question for you."

"To sell or not to sell?"

Yang Mi looked down at the bracelet.

She did not answer immediately.

This isn't about money.

This was bought for her by Ling'er.

Even if it were only worth eight hundred, she wouldn't sell it.

Yang Mi spoke.

"Not for sale."

Sheng Wanqing raised the corner of her mouth.

"Not for sale?"

She took a step forward.

"Yang Mi, have you forgotten? Shengtian Pictures has three films scheduled for release in the second half of the year?"

"Your agent was still submitting project materials last month."

Yang Mi's gaze softened.

He Chuan's expression changed.

That's too blunt.

The live stream chat was instantly flooded with comments.

"Holy crap, a public threat?"

"Is this broadcastable?"

"Shengtian Pictures? That's quite an arrogance!"

Sheng Wanqing did not accept it.

She has already lost face.

Now she just wants to drag Yang Mi down with her.

"You're quite popular right now."

"But in the entertainment industry, popularity alone doesn't guarantee a long-term success."

"If my dad says one thing, you can forget about getting another role."

Yang Mi did not speak.

She simply pulled Shen Ling'er behind her.

Shen Ling'er didn't let her pull it.

The little girl looked up at Sheng Wanqing.

"Is your dad very powerful?"

Sheng Wanqing smiled.

"At least he's better than your dad."

The air paused for a moment.

Yang Mi's expression finally changed.

Shen Ling'er also fell silent.

She tucked the copper coin from her wrist into her sleeve.

Zhao Lei lowered his voice on the other end of the screen.

"It's over."

Bai Sisi asked, "What's over?"

Zhao Lei said seriously, "She insulted Mr. Shen."

Chen Doudou squatted even lower at the car wash.

"Mom, I have a feeling she's going to be in trouble."

Lin Jia did not correct it this time.

Because she felt that way too.

Shen Ling'er looked at Sheng Wanqing.

Say it again.

Sheng Wanqing raised an eyebrow.

"What? You want to hit me?"

Shen Ling'er shook her head.

"My mother said I shouldn't hit people."

Sheng Wanqing scoffed.

Shen Ling'er added a sentence.

"But my dad said that some people feel pain even without being hit."

Sheng Wanqing was about to speak.

A voice suddenly came from the side.

Shengtian Pictures.

Gu Changhe finally spoke.

He returned the Changning bracelet to Yang Mi.

Then he looked at Sheng Wanqing.

"Is Sheng Jiannan your father?"

Sheng Wanqing glanced at him.

"Yes."

"And who are you?"

The jade shop owner's legs went weak.

He was startled by the bracelet and only now realized what had happened.

"Miss Sheng, this is Mr. Gu."

Sheng Wanqing frowned.

"Which Mr. Gu?"

The boss swallowed hard.

"Honorary President of the Ancient Jade Association, Mr. Gu Changhe."

The young man behind Sheng Wanqing's face changed instantly.

"Wanqing, Gu Changhe... is from the Gu family."

Sheng Wanqing's eyes flickered.

Of course she had heard of it.

Her father once wanted to send an antique jade piece to the Gu family auction, but was rejected three times.

But she still stubbornly persevered.

"Old Gu, this is a matter between Yang Mi and me."

Gu Changhe nodded.

"I know."

"That's why I don't care about the entertainment industry."

Sheng Wanqing had just breathed a sigh of relief.

Gu Changhe then said, "I only have one question: when did Sheng Jiannan become able to represent the entire entertainment industry?"

Sheng Wanqing's face froze.

Gu Changhe looked at his assistant.

"Call Sheng Jiannan."

The assistant immediately took out his phone.

Sheng Wanqing's eyelids twitched.

"Mr. Gu, isn't this unnecessary?"

Gu Changhe did not look at her.

The call was answered quickly.

The assistant turned on speakerphone.

A middle-aged man's voice came from the other end.

"Who is it?"

The assistant calmly said, "President Sheng, I'm Xiao Zhou, who works for Old Master Gu."

There was a pause on the other end of the phone.

The voice changed immediately.

"Old Gu?"

"Is Mr. Gu nearby?"

Gu Changhe took the phone.

"Sheng Jiannan."

The voice on the other end was lowered.

"Mr. Gu, what are your instructions?"

Gu Changhe looked at Sheng Wanqing.

"Your daughter is in the antique street, saying she wants to blacklist Yang Mi."

There was silence on the other end of the phone.

It's very quiet.

Sheng Wanqing's face finally paled a little.

Gu Changhe continued, "I don't understand your film and television industry."

"But I know one rule."

"Buying and selling are voluntary, and profits and losses are accepted."

"She bought a fake bracelet for 150,000 yuan; that's because she doesn't have a good eye for quality."

"Miss Yang bought a genuine bracelet for eight hundred; that's her daughter's skill."

"Your Sheng family, are you trying to force us to hand over something using acting contracts?"

I could hear rapid breathing coming from the other end of the phone.

"Mr. Gu, that's not true."

"Absolutely not!"

Sheng Wanqing became anxious.

"Dad, I didn't—"

Sheng Jiannan yelled it out over the phone.

"Shut up!"

Everyone in the store heard it.

Sheng Wanqing stood frozen in place.

Sheng Jiannan's voice was strained.

"Mr. Gu, it's my fault for not disciplining him properly."

"Don't worry, I'll bring her back right away."

Gu Changhe said calmly, "You don't need to explain to me."

"Explain this to Miss Yang."

Sheng Jiannan immediately asked, "Is Miss Yang nearby?"

Yang Mi was taken aback.

He Chuan was also stunned.

The camera moves forward.

Yang Mi took the phone.

"President Sheng."

Sheng Jiannan immediately lowered his voice.

"Miss Yang, what happened today was my daughter's fault for being ignorant."

"You can look at Shengtian's projects in the second half of the year if you want, or we will not disturb you if you don't."

"No one will make things difficult for you like this again."

Yang Mi remained silent for half a second.

"Mr. Sheng, you flatter me."

Sheng Jiannan quickly said, "You're too kind; it was our rudeness."

The phone hangs up.

The area in front of the jade shop was completely quiet.

Sheng Wanqing stood there, her face completely drained of color.

She just used the things to weigh down Yang Mi.

It was crushed by a phone call.

The comments section went crazy.

"Cool!!!"

Sheng Wanqing: My dad is amazing. Old Gu: Call him Dad.

"That's a real master!"

Yang Mi was completely stunned.

"Why is Old Master Gu helping them? Does he know Shen Fei too?"

Shen Ling'er looked at Sheng Wanqing.

"Your dad doesn't seem as capable as you say."

Sheng Wanqing's fingers trembled.

She gritted her teeth and looked at Yang Mi.

Yang Mi did not take advantage of the situation.

She simply said, "Miss Sheng, please go back."

This is even more hurtful than being insulted.

Sheng Wanqing turned and left.

As they reached the door, Shen Ling'er suddenly spoke.

"Don't forget to take the fake bracelet."

Sheng Wanqing paused in her steps.

Some people in the store couldn't help but laugh.

Sheng Wanqing grabbed the fake bracelet and quickly left with her entourage.

The jade shop owner, seeing the situation was turning bad, also tried to hide.

Plainclothes officers blocked the door.

"You are suspected of false advertising and price fraud, and are awaiting market supervision."

The boss's legs went weak.

"I...I'll cooperate."

He Chuan took a deep breath.

He looked at the camera.

"Dear viewers, we would like to remind you once again that purchasing jade is extremely risky. Please be sure to choose legitimate channels."

Zhao Lei responded in the split screen.

"Especially don't sell counterfeit goods next to Shen Ling'er."

Bai Sisi: "This one is more important."

Gu Changhe didn't laugh.

He looked at Shen Ling'er.

"Young lady, did your father teach you about ancient jade?"

Shen Ling'er nodded.

"I taught you a little."

Gu Changhe's eyes twitched slightly.

a little?

What makes the Changning bracelet stand out?

If we teach more, can we take down the signboard of the Ancient Jade Association?

He suppressed the thought.

"Young lady, there's a private auction in the county town tomorrow night."

"There are ancient jade, old porcelain, and calligraphy and paintings."

"Would you like to go and take a look?"

Yang Mi immediately became alert.

"Old Master Gu, Ling'er is still young."

Gu Changhe nodded.

"I know."

"I just wanted to broaden her horizons."

He looked at Yang Mi, his tone softening.

"Ms. Yang, rest assured, the police can accompany you in formal settings."

"It doesn't matter whether I take the picture or not."

"Just take a look."

Shen Ling'er blinked.

"Any good stuff?"

Gu Changhe smiled.

"have."

"But whether you can tell depends on your eyesight."

Shen Ling'er raised her chin slightly.

"My dad said that if you don't have good eyesight, you have to rely on luck."

Gu Changhe's smile deepened.

"Then we should go even more."

Yang Mi looked at Shen Ling'er.

"You want to go?"

Shen Ling'er did not answer immediately.

She first looked at the copper coins on her wrist.

The copper coin remained still.

She then looked at the Changning bracelet.

"Mother, do you want to go?"

Yang Mi was taken aback.

Shen Ling'er said, "There might be another one there that matches this one."

Gu Changhe's eyes narrowed.

How did you know?

Shen Ling'er pointed to the inner circle of the bracelet.

"There are breaks here."

"It wasn't from hitting it."

"They are marks left when they separated."

Gu Changhe immediately picked up the magnifying glass and looked at it again.

Half a minute later.

His expression changed.

Next to the "Changning" engraving, there is indeed a very shallow crescent-shaped pattern.

He hadn't noticed.

Shen Ling'er continued, "My father said that things that are in pairs will look for each other if they are separated for a long time."

He Chuan felt a chill run down his spine.

"Is this some kind of metaphysics?"

Shen Ling'er looked at him.

"It's the rule."

Gu Changhe slowly put down the magnifying glass.

For the first time, he truly took it seriously.

This child has more than just good eyesight.

Her way of looking at things didn't belong to any of the schools of thought he was familiar with.

more importantly.

Behind every word she spoke stood her father, who never showed his face.

Gu Changhe looked at Yang Mi.

"Miss Yang, if you'd like, I can reserve two seats for you."

Yang Mi has not yet answered.

Suddenly, a young man strode in from outside the door.

He whispered something in Gu Changhe's ear.
