Chapter 584: Chapter 582: Wanting to climb up Old Lady Shen_1

Xia Yanyan clicked on several music critics who bad-mouthed her. “Call the National Treasure Committee, this one, and this one, and this one too. Send them all to jail to wake up their minds!”

Ye Li was also troubled. Those critics who loved to criticize Sister Xia were always invited for a ‘tea chat’ by the National Treasure Committee. But they were stubborn and seemed to get used to it. After they came out, they still wrote articles, citing the famous saying, ‘Good advice is harsh to the ear’.

Sister Xia had never been one to take advice willingly. She just liked being adored by fans, and praised by everyone!

Ye Li said, “Sister Xia, I heard that a prestigious musician who had once been on par with Master Gu is coming to the capital. Many of Master Shen’s students are currently the pillars of the music industry. If you can win her favor, those critics certainly won’t dare to critique your songs like this!”

“Master Shen? Which Master Shen, Master Gu’s ex-wife?”

“Exactly. The media has been reporting about it recently. Master Shen plans to come to the capital to direct a vocal performance at the presidential inauguration banquet. Master Shen also told the media that she is interested in an auction item from a charity event in the capital. She wants to win it as an engagement gift for her granddaughter. If we could get this gift for Master Shen, we might be able to win her favor.”

“Really? What gift has she taken a liking to? Just buy it for her, it’s not a big deal.”

Ye Li opened her phone and found the relevant news: “The news said that there will be a charity auction in the capital the day after tomorrow, and Master Shen is interested in an exhibit from the auction, a pair of emerald jade pendants emblazoned with images of dragons and phoenixes. It is said that these jade pendants were burial goods from the royal family of a certain dynasty hundreds of years ago, later stolen by grave robbers, and then passed down to a wealthy merchant. The merchant gave the jade pendants to his granddaughter and future grandson-in-law as engagement gifts. Afterwards, the couples had a life-long, loving relationship. Some masters say that these jade pendants are spiritual and can bless the wearer with a steadfast lover. Master Shen is interested in this implication, and especially wants to win these jade pendants.”

“Is that so?”@@novelbin@@

Xia Yanyan took a glance at the image. It was quite nice-looking, but she was not interested in jade pendants.

“Since Master Shen likes it, I will buy the jade pendant and give it to her. Remember to remind me to attend the auction that day.” After all, what she never lacked was money.

Ye Xingguang also saw the news report that Granny Shen was interested in a pair of emerald jade pendants with dragons and phoenixes from a charity auction, intending to win them as an engagement gift for her granddaughter.

She looked at the news report. The jade pendants were quite expensive. However, she had some income recently.

Ling Han’s new album was selling really well. All the songs on the charts were paid requests. She and Master Gu had signed a revenue-sharing contract, and she had made a fortune. Master Gu had just given her a share of five million.

The starting price for the dragon and phoenix emerald jade pendants was five hundred thousand. Surely five million would be enough to win it?

With that, she asked Xiao Mi Hu, “Are you free the day after tomorrow?”

“It’s the weekend the day after tomorrow, and there’s no school. I am free. Are you inviting me to have chicken soup again?”

She only thinks about chicken soup. Ye Xingguang rolled her eyes, “You’re going to a bidding event with me the day after tomorrow. I want to bid on an item.”
