He slowly took out a photo from his wallet. It was a yellowed old black and white photo. The photo showed a multi-year-old woman with bright eyes and white teeth, two braids knotted on her chest, wearing a dress with a printed
The double-breasted gown with peony flowers has a nostalgic and elegant beauty in its facial features.
Zhuang Lingjun's fingers gently crossed the photo, as gently as if it were a woman's face.
A closer look revealed that the woman's eyebrows in the photo were slightly similar to Zhuang Lingjun's. His lips trembled slightly, his eyes were a little red, and he murmured: "Mom..."

Weekend nights are a wonderful time for singing and dancing.
In a very atmospheric and elegant private room in Hotel S, five men were sitting together. They all looked high-sounding and obviously had great fame and status. They were all between fifty and sixty years old.
They exchanged glances, but no one said anything. There were questions in their eyes, as if they were waiting for something.
Soon the door opened, and a waitress wearing a cheongsam walked in. On the black pine plate was a bottle of wine. The bottle was elegant and looked old. The waitress opened the cork of the bottle, and there was a burst of laughter.
The fragrant smell of red wine filled the entire box.
A slightly fat man took a greedy breath, with an intoxicated look on his face: "Wow, this is Lafite from 1985, a genuine fiterothschild. It's hard to buy it even on the black market now."
Another old man with a goatee also said: "As an alcoholic, it is truly worthwhile to be able to see such a fine wine."
"It will be a waste of my life to be able to bring together the Jin family's board of directors."
Following this delicate and beautiful voice, a slender woman slowly walked in from outside.
Wearing a lavender tulle, which outlines her figure just right, but also looks very goddess-like, without the vulgar temperament of ordinary female stars, it is Ye Shan.
At first, the two men quickly praised: "Miss Ye is becoming more and more beautiful. Once you come in, even such a luxurious suite becomes like a thatched house!"
Ye Shan smiled: "Director Jin, Director Zhao, don't praise me. How do you two think this bottle of Lafite is good?"
Director Jin took a sip and immediately showed an extremely intoxicated look on his face, "Miss Ye, you are really generous. Such a Lafite is priceless, even if it is placed at a state banquet, it will not be inferior. We are really lucky.
"
"I know that the two directors are good drinkers. Since they are good drinkers, we might as well have a drink." Ye Shan smiled, then turned to look at a man in his early fifties next to him wearing gold-rimmed glasses.
"As for Jay Chou, I heard that you are fond of painting, and you also like to collect traditional Chinese paintings of horses. I just got one here. I wonder if you can come and appreciate it?"
As soon as he heard Chinese painting, Jay Chou's eyes lit up.
Ye Shan clapped her hands, and another waitress came in with a painting covered with red silk. As soon as she opened the painting, Director Zhou's eyes widened: "This, this is the Yuan Dynasty... Zhao Mengfu...
The authentic work of…”
Ye Shan smiled and said, "Yes, this painting is indeed authentic. Although its fakes have been sold at high prices in the market, this painting is indeed genuine. If Director Jay still doesn't believe it, he can take it to any store.
Antique shops check authenticity.”
Jay Chou squinted his eyes, pushed up his glasses, carefully identified it, and finally nodded, "It's genuine, it's genuine."
Ye Shan smiled and said, "It's rare to foresee a close friend. As the saying goes, a good horse and a sword are given to a close friend. A famous painting must be given to someone who likes it to be valuable. Director Jay, consider this painting a gift from me."
Jay Chou jumped up suddenly, "No, no, no, this is too expensive, Miss Ye, I can't accept it."
"It doesn't matter whether it's expensive or not. What's important is your heart. As for me, although I have a little knowledge of painting, I'm not proficient in it. In order to be friends with you, Jay Chou, what does a painting mean? Don't be polite to me, accept it.
Bar."
Jay Chou looked at Ye Shan doubtfully and then at the painting. He thought that this painting must have been given to her by some wealthy person, so she should just accept it. So he nodded, "Miss Ye, what do you want?"
As ordered, Zhou will go through fire and water without hesitation."
Then Ye Shan, with a perfect and watertight smile, presented the other three men with a box of top-quality cigars, a piece of valuable agarwood, and a top-quality watch, making everyone smile. Finally, Ye Shan gently
He coughed and said, "Actually, Ye Shan has a small thing to ask everyone of you today."
The directors raised their eyes from the treasures in their hands and said, "Whatever it is, Miss Ye, just say it without any hesitation."
Ye Shan smiled softly and said, "On Monday morning, Mr. Jin will hold an impromptu meeting and invite everyone to vote on an advertising plan."
"Let's vote on the advertising plan?"
Director Jin frowned fiercely, "How is that possible? We are directors, how can we be allowed to take action on such a trivial matter?"
"This is the crux of the problem." Ye Shan's smile remained unchanged, "Those of you who are well-informed may know that Mr. Jin recently made a new girlfriend, her surname is Xia, and she is the manager of a small advertising company below."
"Oh, I seem to have heard about it, and he said that Mr. Jin has really unique vision recently." Director Jay Chou pushed up his glasses with a stern look on his face, "What, is this Miss Xia's plan?"
"Exactly." Ye Shan nodded, "Actually, Miss Xia was a grassroots employee not long ago, and she graduated less than three years ago. I don't know what Jin always liked about her, so he promoted her to this position.
Manager, it’s okay to be promoted originally. Mr. Jin likes it. There’s nothing wrong with it.
Can it be done? But after Miss Xia became the manager, it is estimated that the little girl’s temperament did not know what to think all day long, and she made some mistakes, which caused complaints from the people below. For example, she made the overall plan for ATR’s new camera last time.
I accidentally mixed up the picture at the subway station."
"Oh, really?" Director Jin said doubtfully, "But there were no complaints later? ATR Company is famous for its strict requirements. Even if the picture is slightly skewed, they will complain to the end!"
"That's because Mr. Jin immediately found someone to remedy the situation." Ye Shan's expression was very serious, "But we can't let this happen to her again and again. This time, the heroine of the micro-movie "Ice and Snow Kiss"
It's me. Everyone should understand how important this brand is to Jin's jewelry industry. Moreover, I will soon participate in this year's best actress selection. This time's short film is of great significance to my image, so...
