Han Xiaolv was so stunned that she couldn't close her mouth. She never expected things could be like this.
Her gaze fell on these luxury goods again.
If she casually put one of them on her online store, she reckoned she could make a fortune.
Thinking of this, she became even more determined to be Lu Xue's agent. There was good fortune to be had by following Lu Xue!
After a whole afternoon of busyness, people of all kinds kept coming in and out of Lu Xue's room, hardly ever stopping.
It was not until evening when everyone had left that the room finally quieted down.
Only then did Lu Xue have the time to sit on the edge of her bed and size up this unfamiliar room.
Yan Hua was in the study downstairs, discussing some official business with Mu Yuze.
After the two checked a few documents, the topic quickly turned to the recent art exhibition. Mu Yuze inquired about the progress of finding the artist with the code name LU.
"How's the search going? Still no leads?"
Yan Hua looked a bit embarrassed.
"This isn't something that can be done quickly. We have to plan it out carefully. Our project team has been searching since the beginning of the year, and there's still no sign. I'm afraid it'll be very difficult to contact this person within a month before the art exhibition."
At this, both of them fell silent.
They both knew that this up - and - coming artist was their best card, but unfortunately, they had no idea what to do for the moment.
Mu Yuze changed the subject.
"If it doesn't work out, we should start looking for alternative solutions. What do you think of those veteran artists we've collaborated with before?"
Yan Hua shook his head.
"I've already contacted them, but they all declined our requests. Most of them have retired from the circle and are living a peaceful retirement life at home. They're not taking on any more jobs. I didn't want to bother them."
Mu Yuze said nothing. Since they'd already been rejected once, there was no point in wasting more time.
These veteran artists were highly respected and knowledgeable. They had their own ideas and were not easily persuaded by a few words.
Moreover, if they really wanted to find a heavy - weight artist for the art exhibition, it had to be a young and popular one who could attract a large number of fans.
When it came to this candidate, Mu Yuze still thought LU was the most suitable one.
However, LU was too mysterious. There was no avatar on his official social media page, and his personal updates were completely blank.
Despite this, fans still left messages under it every day, hoping that he would appear in public soon. Many foreign media and newspapers also occasionally mentioned this reclusive and mysterious artist.
"If only he were in China now."
Mu Yuze had this random thought.
The two were silent for a while. They knew this matter couldn't be rushed and each sank into deep thought. At this time, Yan Hua looked up at the staff walking outside and suddenly spoke.
"I think Lu Xue seems quite popular here. She's only been here for a day or two, and yet so many people like her."
Mu Yuze wasn't surprised. He could sense that Lu Xue seemed to have a special charisma.
This charisma was such that even if she just stood there without saying a word, she could easily win people's favor.
At dinner time, since Mu Ziyue and Ding Muyun were absent, only four people were sitting at the table facing each other.
Han Xiaolv looked at Yan Hua and Mu Yuze sitting opposite her. She felt that this scene was familiar, as if they had returned to this morning when the four of them had breakfast together.
At the dinner table, Han Xiaolv marveled at the delicate dishes again.
Lu Xue's eyes also sparkled.
Although she wasn't as exaggerated as Han Xiaolv, she still ate three big bowls of rice without any hesitation.
Aunt Chen beside them was beaming with joy, feeling that her cooking skills had been silently praised by Lu Xue.
As soon as Lu Xue finished one bowl of rice, Aunt Chen quickly served her another.
The two men watched in shock as the two women opposite them devoured most of the food on the table like gluttons.
Mu Yuze lowered his eyes and coughed lightly. He thought he could take advantage of the dinner time to subtly ask some questions he'd always wanted to know.
He politely asked,
"Are the things you brought here your hobbies? Are you interested in sculpture?"
Lu Xue finally looked up at Mu Yuze during a rare break from eating.
Actually, after returning to the Mu residence, she'd been thinking about how to find out the whereabouts of that veteran artist. But if she asked directly, it would seem that her motives were impure.
No matter how impulsive she was, she knew that any probing had to be done at the right time and place.
Since Mu Yuze had asked the question, Lu Xue followed the topic and continued the conversation subtly.
"Is Mr. Mu also interested in these things? Is Mr. Mu's company in the art industry?"
