pitifully," 。"He's gotten a lot braver." 。"Ye Mingjue said in a deep voice," 。When Andrew heard this, he immediately wilted. 。"Well, what do you want" Andrew asked. 。"Nothing much, just wanted to ch...Ye Jiu shook her head vigorously. Xiao Nuan couldn't handle this, and she was even less skilled at persuading people. If it were threatening someone, she wouldn't find it difficult, but this time obviously couldn't be solved so violently.

"What are we going to do next Should we keep ringing the doorbell Maybe if we persist, he'll concede and talk a little," Ye Jiǔ said.

An Xiaonuan shook her head. That way was too underhanded. Even if he was annoyed and agreed to talk, it wouldn't give a good impression. It wasn't a good idea. She would hold off for now and find a place to think things over first.

After taking a look at the surrounding environment, An Xiaonuan walked to a big tree a few meters away and sat down to think.

Jin Quan's attitude was very resolute, he refused to communicate with her at all, showing that he had no interest in her proposal whatsoever. No communication meant there was no room for persuasion.

So she should first think about what weaknesses or interests her target has.

Jin Quan was over sixty years old and a renowned artist. With fame and fortune, he wasn't easy to find weaknesses in.

Moreover, based on the information she looked at yesterday, Jin Quan has always been very low-key. Besides work matters, he rarely appears in the public eye. He protects his family and privacy very well. Even his hobbies are unknown to outsiders.

How can you persuade someone who seems so flawless An Xiaonuan felt extremely anxious.

After sitting quietly under the big tree for two hours, An Xiaonuan still had no clue.

As the saying goes, knowing your enemy and yourself will result in victory in a hundred battles.

Now, her understanding of Jinchuan comes only from descriptions by others, inevitably incomplete and missing the key points.

Now that she is at his doorstep, why not go into his yard and see if there are any clues

An Xiaonuan walked to the front door again and pressed the doorbell. After a while, Jin Quan came to open the door again. When he saw An Xiaonuan, he was somewhat surprised, but also a little displeased.

Before he could speak, An Xiaonuan took the initiative and said, "Master Jin, I would like to use the restroom. Could you please grant me permission"

Her expression was indeed rather uncomfortable. Though Jin Quan didn't want to interact with her much, he still said, "Come in. The restroom is in the small house behind the main building."

An Xiaonuan said thanks and then quickly went through the door, across the garden, around the main house, and into the bathroom.

Coming out of the bathroom, An Xiaonuan went around from the other side of the main house and saw the plants on Jin Quan's balcony. The corners of her mouth finally curved into a smile. She was going to talk to Jin Quan about flowers and saw him sitting on a bench in the garden, sunbathing.

She walked over and said, "Master Jin, I know you like to cultivate orchids. I have some very rare orchid varieties here. How about we make a deal"

When it came to orchids, Jin Quan's eyes suddenly lit up. An Xiaonuan, watching his reaction, was particularly satisfied. It seemed she had guessed correctly.

Hearing about the rare orchids, he couldn't contain his composure any longer and eagerly asked: "Girl, what kinds of orchid varieties do you have Tell me about them. Perhaps we can consider a trade."

She wasn't a orchid enthusiast, she only knew there were a bunch of orchids in the house. She didn't know the varieties, so she said, "Oh, wait a moment, let me ask."

She quickly took out her phone and sent a WeChat message to the housekeeper, asking: "Uncle Jin, what kinds of orchids are there at home Could you please tell me the varieties and attach pictures"

Ten minutes later, Jinber sent over pictures of the ten orchids in his house, including their names. An Xiaonuan turned to Jin Quan and said, "Master Jin, I don't know much about orchids, so I won't embarrass myself by trying to show off. Just look at the pictures."

Jin Quan nodded, then took the phone from An Xiaonuan's hand. After a moment, he read softly: “No-beaked orchid, Double-petal orchid, Single flower orchid, Taiwan butterfly orchid... these are all very rare varieties, incredibly precious. Where did your family collect them from”

"I don't know, maybe I should ask the person at home who's in charge of taking care of the plants" An Xiaonuan asked softly.

Jin Quan waved his hand, these orchids are rare varieties, asking wouldn't be helpful. He was just too excited to see so many and blurted out a question.

He hesitated for a moment and asked, "Are you truly willing to give these flowers back to me"

An Xiaonuan nodded very seriously: "Willingly, more than willingly. No one in our family particularly likes orchids. We only grow flowers for decoration, so whether it's daffodils or orchids, there's not much difference. Giving it to someone who truly loves them is just right."

One look at her and you can tell she's not the type to enjoy tending flowers. Such good things in her hands are indeed a waste.

"I don't know how you want to trade" Jin Quan asked.

An Xiaonuan answered quickly, "I plan to make 99 watches with the filigree craft. If you finish making all these quantities for me, I'll give you all ten orchids."

A watch face isn't very big, and it doesn't have too complicated patterns. Even if it costs 99 yuan, it wouldn't take much time to make. Replacing ten pots of orchids worth tens or even hundreds of thousands of yuan, this deal not only wouldn't result in a loss, but would be very profitable.

However, he wasn't the kind of person who liked to take advantage. So, he said, "The amount of work you require isn't much. After I finish it for you, just give me five pots of orchids."

"Too much Nowadays masters are truly noble and generous, but even when asking for help, one shouldn't be too stingy. An Xiaonuan continued, "Master, I'll give you all the orchids. If you feel like you've made a profit, just send me one or two of your art pieces as a gift."

A smile appeared in Jin Quan's eyes. He had been heartbroken just now to have pushed away half of the orchids, but since this little girl was so sincere and possessed such maturity, he wouldn't refuse. He could just give her a few more enamelware pieces. After all, his works were all valuable and would definitely not put her at a disadvantage.

"Come on, let me take you to choose some porcelain." Jin Quan said enthusiastically.

"Off you go, didn't expect that even at over sixty years old, she still has such a quick temper, as if afraid she would change her mind."

To be honest, An Xiaonuan has a sharp eye. Those orchids are priceless, and Jin Quan is afraid she'll go back on her word. Once she takes his things, he will absolutely not allow her to change her mind.

As Jin Quan entered his studio, An Xiaonuan felt like her eyes had been opened. She finally understood why Jin Quan was so renowned in the art world. The things he made were truly exquisite, his hands so skillful, they must have been blessed by angels.

Seeing her surprised expression, Jin Quan still felt a sense of accomplishment.

"Mr. Jin, you truly are a master in the art world! You're amazing!" An Xiaonuan praised without hesitation.

"Every trade has its own mastery, and overpraising is inappropriate." Jinquan said calmly.now you yet” 。"Ye Mingjue smiled and said, 。 “Hee hee, I’m outside now” 。"An Xiaonuan said with a smile," 。"Nuan Nuan, is there any particular place you'd like to go" Ye Mingjue asked in a deep voice...
