PFC Chapter 549 Pan Hong is back?
Chapter 549 Pan Hong is back?
Looking at the old, worn-out bowl, she thought to herself, "If people know its value, that's fine, but if they don't, they might think this bowl is even worse than their dog's bowl."
Does Old Wang like antiques?
Fu Huaiyi shook his head. "I don't know."
You don't know? You're giving away gifts without knowing?
"Then don't send this. What if Old Wang doesn't appreciate its value and thinks you're mocking him, or that he'll only be able to beg for food with this broken bowl after he retires?"
Fu Huaiyi: "No way, this bowl isn't cheap; it's from the Ming Dynasty."
"The problem is that people don't understand. Your bowl is so old and worn out... Think about it yourself, what does it mean to give someone a retired bowl as a gift?"
Fu Huaiyi: "..."
Believe it or not, with Old Wang's cunning mind, he might actually think that way.
"What should I give as a gift?"
Lin Yuyao looked around and her gaze settled on the two silver pots.
One of them is distressed, which actually makes it look more dignified and sophisticated, but not everyone can appreciate it.
The other one is bright white, which even those who don't appreciate antiques would recognize as good.
"This one will do. I remember there are four more cups. It'll be perfect as a gift with the whole set."
"Old Wang still prefers tea. Okay, this one will do."
Following Lin Yuyao's advice, Fu Huaiyi wrapped up the silver pot, intending to bring it as a gift to the gathering.
……
After the preliminary round, due to the tight schedule, the semi-finals were scheduled for three days later. Those who remained from the preliminary round and were from other places were reimbursed for their food and lodging.
After the semi-finals, there will be a final round. The top three men and women will be eligible to sign with Nebula Films and compete for the lead role in a new drama.
By this time, many young people had already developed their own dreams of becoming stars, and they were all eager to shine in the finals.
The talent show proceeded as scheduled, and Lin Yuyao and her group completed the land purchase procedures.
"Now that all the paperwork is done, Sister Lin, when do you think we should start construction?"
"Let's wait until after the talent show. I'll talk to Sister Leyi and ask her construction team to handle it."
Fu Leyi has already entered the construction industry, has connections in this field, and is familiar with the industry, so Lin Yuyao feels at ease entrusting her construction team to her.
This is a good deal, and Fu Leyi, being a businesswoman, is naturally happy to take it.
"Sure, I'll have the designer talk to you first and come up with a few plans. If they're feasible, then we'll sign a contract."
"Okay, then... next week, my draft will be almost over next week."
"Sure, you can arrange the time."
Fu Leyi is a straightforward person, and doing business with straightforward people is easy.
As Lin Yuyao left their house, she unexpectedly saw a familiar figure.
The man was wrapped up tightly, and when he saw her looking over, he quickly ran away.
But Lin Yuyao recognized him at a glance; it was Pan Hong.
Pan Hong is back?
Lin Yuyao watched him disappear into the alley ahead, then turned back.
Fu Leyi: "Why are you back again?"
Lin Yuyao took a breath. "I think I saw Pan Hong."
Fu Leyi's smile froze.
Lin Yuyao added, "He's acting suspiciously outside, as if he doesn't dare to come looking for you."
Fu Leyi chuckled and said calmly, "That's settled then, as long as he doesn't let me see him."
Lin Yuyao nodded.
Fu Leyi added, "It doesn't matter. I don't have any life-or-death feud with him. What difference would it make if we met? It would still be the same."
Just as Lin Yuyao was about to leave, Fu Leyi called her back, "Wait a minute."
Lin Yuyao stopped.
Fu Leyi thought for a moment and said, "Help me tell this news to Pan Xiaohua. That coward abandoned a mess and ran away for more than two years. That broken family was supported by that young girl. He should give her an explanation for the trouble he caused."
"Row."
Finding Pan Xiaohua was easy. To save money, she rented a house in the old housing area next door that was about to be demolished. She lived there with her younger sister and niece.
When Lin Yuyao arrived, she was still on the roof.
"What's going on? Are you picking something up?"
Pan Xiaohua looked down at her and smiled, "No, this dilapidated house even leaks when it rains."
Is it easy to repair?
"It's easy to fix. I climbed up and took a look. I guess the tile was damaged by the cat. It will be fine after I replace it."
Girls are forced to grow up; if the house leaks, she's the only one who can climb up and fix it.
She herself is just a young woman, but she has to act like a man to support her younger sister and niece.
She could have escaped; she would have been better off alone than with her sister and niece, but she didn't.
Because she knew that if she chose to run away like Pan Hong, her sister and niece's lives would be over.
Sister Leyi is right. If Pan Hong is feeling uneasy, he should come to Pan Xiaohua, not Fu Leyi.
Lin Yuyao didn't rush her, and waited quietly until she came down from the roof after replacing the new tiles.
Pan Xiaohua clapped her hands and smiled as she invited her inside.
Lin Yuyao nodded and followed her inside.
Although the room was old, it was very clean, and there were many goods piled up against the wall.
The area is quite safe. Looking out the back window of her house, there's a police station right across the street. Otherwise, it wouldn't be safe for three young women to live in a house like this.
Pan Xiaohua poured her a glass of water and sat down opposite her.
"Are you all doing well these days?"
Pan Xiaohua smiled and said, "It's great. My niece's arm is healed, and she's become much more optimistic. She can go to school normally now. It's just that she's older and looks much taller than her classmates, so they sometimes point at her."
There's nothing we can do about it; once I've developed, I'll probably be even more ridiculed by my classmates.
"It's okay, she'll be fine once she enters junior high. Once she's in junior high, her height will stabilize, and you won't be able to tell from her appearance that she's older than others."
Pan Xiaohua nodded, "Yes, that's what I told her too, to work hard to get into junior high school."
There are still entrance exams for junior high school; there is no compulsory education.
"Where are they?"
"I'm at the shop. I came back to fix the house. The weather forecast says it might rain tonight, so I can't let the goods get wet."
"I've come today to tell you something."
Pan Xiaohua looked at her. Of course, she had come for a reason; she couldn't just show up without a reason.
“I saw someone today who is very likely your second brother, Pan Hong.”
Pan Xiaohua gasped.
"Where is he?"
"He's been loitering around the Fu family's neighborhood, hiding from anyone he sees. I don't know if he'll go there tomorrow, but if you want to find him, you could try staking out the area."
Pan Xiaohua nodded and said, "Okay, thank you."
She was very grateful to Lin Yuyao and saw her out of the alley.
The thought of Pan Hong makes me grit my teeth in hatred.
She felt that Pan Hong bore the greatest responsibility for the family's breakdown.
Why is he the one who bears the greatest responsibility?
The eldest brother and sister-in-law are the beneficiaries, so it's perfectly normal for them to be greedy when faced with the huge fortune of the Fu family.
Their mother didn't have much education, her thinking was wrong, she didn't understand, but how could Pan Hong not understand?
