Chapter 513: Madam Group has a powerful presence at 310!_3
Xia Yuzheng and President Gu didn’t have any business dealings, and they really weren’t familiar with each other. However, since their wives were close friends, they couldn’t pretend not to know each other.
Now, standing by the side in the tea corner, they wanted to make conversation but couldn’t find any topics, making the atmosphere inexplicably awkward.
Just then, several news alerts popped up on his phone. President Gu, as if seeing a lifesaver, pulled out his phone, glanced at it quickly, and hurriedly said, "Old Xia, look! Just this morning, our Capital City auctioned off a world-famous painting for two hundred and thirty million. It seems it was bought by a group of ladies!"
Xia Yuzheng never cared about world-famous paintings, but as long as it spared him the awkwardness, what did it matter?
He also pulled out his phone, cooperatively showing surprise, "Indeed, the ladies nowadays are formidable, even richer than us."
President Gu said, "Right, I wonder whose wife it was! Two hundred and thirty million! I’m already starting to feel sorry for their husbands, hahaha..."
Xia Yuzheng added, "Maybe their husbands didn’t know beforehand and only found out when they saw the news and realized a big chunk of money was missing, hahahaha..."
Their ’hahas’ floated around the tea corner for a while, then almost simultaneously stopped.
Staring together at the photos in the news, they squinted their eyes into thin slits, "..."
In the photo, Xia Yuzheng saw his own wife showing off the receipt for the two hundred and thirty million worth of item she had bought, smiling happily!
And clinging tightly to her arm to her left was none other than Mrs. Gu.
Oh, boy...

The ladies of the Madam Group usually met in Paris for afternoon tea, and since Xu He contributed most of the funds to purchase a T.D. original, everyone unanimously decided to hang the painting in the VIP lounge of Paris, which was also their usual tea-drinking living room.
The husbands were also invited to view it once. When they came, they all lavished praise on the painting, not daring to speak carelessly, but their hearts were bleeding!
Xu He and Mrs. Gu were supposed to meet with the children at the Xia Family, but now that was changed to Paris.
This spared the men at home who didn’t know how to talk from messing things up.
By then, Mrs. Gu had already arrived at the spot. Each holding a cup of tea, she and Xu He admired the masterpiece on the wall.
With a two hundred and thirty million painting in front of them, let alone sipping tea, even drinking plain water would make them joyful.
Seeing that the agreed time was almost near, both glanced at the still quiet entrance and simultaneously picked up their phones.
Xu He said, "You drink your tea, I’ll go out and call Xia Xing to check on him, he might have another interview at the club. You know, being a celebrity has its downsides, no freedom of time."
Mrs. Gu showed full understanding, "No rush, my girl isn’t here yet either. Your Xia Xing is busy with important things, while mine is just busy with nonsense."
With that, the two of them split into separate rooms to make urgent calls to their children.
Mrs. Gu: "My baby, my ancestor, my dear, what’s so important about your makeup artist job that you can’t leave? Today’s blind date I arranged for you will definitely satisfy you. Didn’t you say you care a lot about looks? This one is absolutely a handsome guy, and his family is in business too. If you two get together, he can help your dad manage our assets...
Gu Mingzhi always doubted her mom’s taste. At that moment, images of a second-generation rich kid with a beer belly who frequented bars and clubs, around five feet tall, already popped up in her mind.
Moreover, no matter the kind of dynasty heir, she was fixated on her idol for life, even if the bride isn’t her in her idol’s future wedding, she was prepared to wait until he was widowed!
"Mom, I really can’t leave right now, the star is about to go on stage, and I need to do her makeup."
Mrs. Gu: "The one I’m introducing is also a star..."
Gu Mingzhi: "Ah, not all stars are the same! Your daughter is now the exclusive makeup artist for a top celebrity!"
Mrs. Gu: "Top celebrity? Well, so is the..."
Before she could finish her sentence, her ungrateful daughter hung up the phone.
Gu Mingzhi quickly checked the time; she wasn’t exactly lying.
Today her idol indeed had an interview, and she was indeed doing his makeup, but at that moment, the idol had already come off the stage, and she was about to finish her work for the day by removing his makeup. frёeωebɳovel.com
Putting her phone back in her pocket, Gu Mingzhi walked briskly back to the makeup room.
Meanwhile, Xia Xing was also in a makeup room, answering a call with an equally helpless tone, "Mom, I really don’t want to date right now..."
