(2 more updates)                                   Tang Wan hadn’t really slept the previous night and had been busy all morning. After Jiang Jinsang left, shey down on the bed, and no sooner had her head touched the pillow than she fell asleep, right up to the moment her phone vibrated. Struggling to open her eyes, she saw the caller ID:


    [Sun-dried Old Bacon]


    “Hello—”


    “Tang Xiaowan, you’re really something,ing to Beijing and not even letting me know. After a friendship of over ten years, was my enthusiasm all misced?”


    Tang Wan chuckled softly, “Where did you hear that from?”


    “Don’t worry about it, I just know.”


    “I’m here with Grandpa to see the doctor; we just arrived and there’s a pile of chaotic matters, so I didn’t inform you.”


    “Is Grandpa Tang alright?”


    “We went for a check today, the results wille out tomorrow.”


    “Where are you guys staying? I’lle find you after work.”


    “No need, we are staying at someone else’s ce, it might be inconvenient. Let me get settled for a couple of days, then we can meet over the weekend.”


    “Someone’s ce… could it be…”


    The room had poor soundproofing, so Tang Wan was very cautious as she spoke on the phone, “Don’t talk nonsense, go and get back to work, we can chat more when you’re free.”


    After she hung up the call, the person on the other end huffed in annoyance.


    Tang Wan looked at her contact remarks and couldn’t help butugh. It was her who had provoked her first, saying that if she didn’t find someone soon, she’d quickly turn from bean sprout into a dried flower. She definitely had to retaliate, so she changed her contact name from Fatty Meat to Old Bacon, nearly infuriating her to death.


    After all, they were close friends, or else such bantering would’ve made any ordinary person angry.


    …


    Meanwhile, her best friend, right after hanging up the phone, turned around and was almost startled to death by the person behind her.


    Today, she hade to the Qi Family with Assistant Xiaozhu to deliver documents. Qi Zeyan, although he didn’t go to thepany, still had work to do. He was there in casual home attire, holding a cup, appearing behind her out of nowhere.


    “Boss Qi.” Why is it that every time I make a call, I get caught? She hung her head, looking frustrated.


    “Go make me a coffee,” Qi Zeyan handed her the cup.


    “Coffee isn’t very good for a cold.”


    Qi Zeyan raised an eyebrow, “What was that?”


    “Nothing.”


    “From now on, cking off during work hours will cost you half a day’s pay.”


    “It won’t happen next time,” she replied with a sweet smile, secretly thinking: you bloodsucker!


    Qi Zeyan sneezed, rubbed his nose, and went back into his room to continue working.

    Tang Wan was woken up by the call, only to discover that it had gotten dark outside. When she went downstairs, the olddy and Mr. Tang were there, with Fan Mingyu sitting nearby, chatting with them.


    “Awake now?” The olddy smiled at her.


    “Um.” It was somewhat embarrassing to have overslept in someone else’s house.


    The olddy wore a dark, cotton robe embroidered with vibrant purple peonies. Despite her age, it was evident she was a very elegant and beauty-lovingdy.


    She was wearing the Cyan Feather brooch Tang Wan had given her; Tang Wan didn’t know what they were discussing, but she was smiling broadly.


    “Just as we were talking about you, here you are,” the olddy smiled and beckoned her over, “Come sit by me.”


    “Talking about me?” Tang Wan sat down beside her.


    “We just had a visitor who said how beautiful this brooch is and wanted one for herself. I told her this piece is unique, priceless.”


    Tang Wan smiled, thinking it was just the usual ttery.


    “This person is very picky, ordinary things don’t catch her eye. If she says it’s good, then it really is good. Look, with the New Year around the corner, she gave me some opera tickets.”


    Tang Wan had noticed a red envelope on the table earlier but couldn’t make out the words from afar. Now, sitting closer, she could see they were New Year’s tickets from the Beijing Opera.


    “Beijing Opera singer?”


    “She used to perform; now she rarely appears onstage but she kept asking where I bought the brooch. Her family isn’t short of money; she might bring you some big business,” the olddyughed, “I didn’t give you a heads-up, just gave her your contact. You don’t mind, right?”


    “No problem.” Tang Wan had made Cyan Feather essories for opera actors before, and if she was trained in opera, she would definitely appreciate them. Naturally, she was pleased to be acknowledged.


    At that moment, Jiang Jinsang also came downstairs, greeted Mr. Tang, and sat beside him with a nket over his knees.


    The olddy nced at him then continued, holding Tang Wan’s hand, “Wanwan, you don’t have anything nned for tomorrow, right? I’ll take you to the opera and introduce you to her.”


    “Yes, she’s a nice person; we’ve known each other for many years. Getting to know her can only benefit you, but she’s quite selective. We can only make the introduction; whether or not you catch her eye is up to you.”
