Hearing this, Ding Muyun was secretly surprised and scolded gently.
"Why didn't you tell me this earlier?"
Mu Ziyue retorted.
"What's there to tell? If someone wants to meet her, let them. Do I have to keep track of everyone she meets?"
Ding Muyun said softly.
"Don't you think there's something illogical about this? With Lu Xue's background, how could she possibly know so many men, and each of them seems to be a successful businessman."
Mu Ziyue was silent for a moment, as if thinking deeply.
"You seem to be right. She really shouldn't have any connection with these people."
Ding Muyun lowered her eyes and said.
"We must investigate this matter further. I need to confirm the relationship between these men and Lu Xue. Moreover, today's incident inspired me. I suddenly remembered that Lu Xue, a little girl whose parents passed away early, grew up alone in the village without any parents or support. Was there someone behind her helping her? And what was her source of income?"
The two girls fell into silence simultaneously. Before this, they knew very little about Lu Xue.
Until now, they seemed to have found a great handle in their hands. As long as they made good use of it, it could be an important weapon to bring down Lu Xue.
Ding Muyun instantly felt relieved, as if she had found a direction.
She asked Mu Ziyue to stay in the Mu family and carefully observe Lu Xue's every move, not missing any small details. At the same time, she began to secretly send people to investigate Lu Xue's past.
Lu Xue and the middle - aged man talked in the room for about twenty minutes, and then the conversation ended.
When the middle - aged man came out, he looked extremely disappointed. Seeing Han Xiaolv standing at the door, he hesitated to speak.
Han Xiaolv stepped forward and asked.
"How was it? Did your conversation go smoothly?"
The middle - aged man shook his head and said.
"Miss Lu may still be dissatisfied with the price our company offered. But this is already the limit we can bear. We hope Miss Lu can think it over more. As Miss Lu's agent, Miss Han, we hope you can also persuade Miss Lu more. The conditions our company offers are quite competitive in the industry. If Miss Lu doesn't even take a fancy to us, it may be difficult for other similar companies to afford it."
After hearing this, Han Xiaolv's face fell. She nodded and saw the man off.
When she returned to Lu Xue's room, Lu Xue was flipping through an album.
Han Xiaolv asked.
"We saw another one off today. I can tell he was quite disappointed. Do you really not want to cooperate with their company?"
Lu Xue looked up.
Han Xiaolv was sitting opposite her, looking extremely dejected, with a look of desolation on her face.
It seemed that Han Xiaolv really hoped that Lu Xue could create new works as soon as possible and take on some commercial cooperation.
Lu Xue twirled the pen in her hand and said indifferently.
"Actually, I don't really like that company. I've seen their previous exhibitions. They're all fancy things. There's nothing I particularly appreciate."
Han Xiaolv heaved a heavy sigh.
"Sister, your standards are so high. The probability of something being appreciated by you is so small. But since it's commercial cooperation, don't be so picky. You need to put a little pressure on yourself occasionally."
Lu Xue retorted.
"Put a little pressure on myself? What do you mean?"
Han Xiaolv rubbed her forehead and patiently explained.
"You need to sign contracts with these big brands first. Once you have a contract, you'll have motivation. Then you can create new works as soon as possible. If you're always lazy and no one is urging you or setting a deadline, what if you're stuck in a creative block for ten or twenty years? Are you just going to spend the rest of your life like this?"
Lu Xue was silent. She knew that Han Xiaolv was worried about her, but this kind of thing really couldn't be rushed.
Seeing that Lu Xue wasn't listening, Han Xiaolv had no choice but to stand up helplessly and was about to go back.
When she reached the door, as if remembering something, she turned back.
"Recently, those who contacted me are all our previous business partners. After they knew you're making a comeback, they all hope to cooperate with you. I filtered out most of the job offers and only left a few high - quality ones. I'll send them to you later. You can pick some more."
Lu Xue didn't even look up and just said.
"I can take on commercial cooperation, but I don't want to show up. And I only want to meet with the old partners I've worked with before. Temporarily reject all the new business partners."
Han Xiaolv of course knew Lu Xue's temper.
"Of course! I've already rejected all the ones I'm not familiar with."
But at this point, Han Xiaolv hesitated to speak.
"Among them, there are one or two job offers that are really quite attractive. The companies behind them are also quite famous in the circle."
Lu Xue shook her head and simply said.
"Reject those who aren't familiar. Now my main focus should be on my new works. Taking on too many commercial activities will easily distract me."
Han Xiaolv nodded, wrote down what Lu Xue said in her notebook, and then left the Mu mansion.
Han Xiaolv didn't know that there was always a little tail following her.
