40 Pixen Gallery
"Sir, here are Ms Ruo Qin's paintings" Renxi displayed the paintings neatly on the table.
"Painting? Ruo Qin paints?" Kris Ler asked with excitement.
"Let me know what you think of her paintings."
Wang Yan nodded in respond.
After a few minutes of examining the paintings..
"This woman's painting....is actually quite skillful.."
Kris examined the texture and medium Ruo Qin used in her painting.
"It's not bad..for someone who have no professional experience..But why did you want me to look at her paintings?"
Kris praised.
"She wants to work as a art designer at a gallery, of course she will need someone's acknowledgement..you're the best person i thought."
Wang Yan answered with a smirk.
Kris agreed to issue his letter of recommendation, which will definitely help Ruo Qin to get a new job.
No one would question Kris even if Ruo Qin is not a professional artist. This means that Ruo Qin's skills are indeed admirable.
"Very well Sir, i will start issuing her porfolio to Pixen Gallery, they one of the top art gallery that hosted various exhibition, this includes Mr Kris Ler's artwork as well." Renxi handed out a profile of Pixen Gallery to Wang Yan.
"Hmm..Pixen is decent, it's very likely they will sign Ruo Qin as their artist."
Kris Ler added on, giving assurance to Wang Yan.

It was a matter of time that Wang Yan look up to Fang Jie...about his sister...
"Jie, something to talk to you.." Wang Yan intiated a conversation with Fang Jie.
They both entered Wang Yan's office..
The surrounding was tensed and quiet...
"So...let's be honest here..what is going on with you and my sister?" Wang Yan questioned..dying to find out what is happening between Fang Jie and his sister.
"Wang Ling...she..is different from other women..i'm going to be frank that i'm attracted to her." Fang Jie answered honestly.
"Are you saying you want to pursue a relationship with my sister?"
Wang Yan continued, raising his brows.
"Yes. And i hope you will not go against it." Fang Jie was clear, knowing what he was doing.
"Against it? I'm very glad to hand her over to you so she can stop bugging me around!" Wang Jie let out a laugh.
"But i must warn you first...my father have already arranged a blind date for her next week.."
Wang Yan's words sent a surprise to Fang Jie.
"Blind date?" Fang Jie was already displeased hearing that.
"Yes, with Mr Jason Xu, he is the Managing Director of China Airlines. A very wealthy, fine young man."
Wang Yan already answered what Fang Jie was about to ask.
"I know what to do." Fang Jie responded.
Of course Fang Jie remembered the conversation he had last time with Wang Ling...She returned to Shanghai was because she wanted to find a man, and to get married to the man she love.

Few days later...
Ruo Qin received a call from the Art Director, Mr Li Tang from Pixen Gallery. As there was a letter of recommendation from Kris Ler, Mr Li had to personally call Ruo Qin as he wouldn't want to offend Kris Ler in the Arts industry.

Ruo Qin: Pixen..Gallery in Shanghai?
Li Tang: That is correct. We would like to invite you for an interview today, will you be available?
Ruo Qin: Of course!
Li Tang: Great! We look forward seeing you tomorrow!

It's Pixen Gallery! Ruo Qin was overjoyed! Pixen Gallery is a well known in Shanghai for hosting famous art exhibitions and even competitions. The organization owned 5 gallery across China and 2 gallery in Paris.
Ruo Qin prepared herself for the interview as she arrived at the entrance of Pixen Gallery.
Everyone was dressed professionally, Ruo Qin felt embarrassed as she was a little underdressed.
Pixen Gallery was minimally decorated, there were art frames hung along its corridor, works by their artists and even international artists. The floor tiles were squeaky clean and atmosphere was quiet.
"This way, Ms Ruo Qin." the receptionist ushered Ruo Qin into Mr Li Tang's office.
*KNOCK KNOCK*
"Mr Li, Ms Ruo Qin is here" the receptionist called out.
A well-dressed man puts on his blazer, buttoned up before extending a handshake to Ruo Qin.

Li Tang: I've seen your works, and they look amazingly..stunning. Would you share with me more?
Ruo Qin: Definitely...i was a freelance paintist for Blitz Arts few years back, and i was mainly doing paintings, wall murals and landscapes.
Li Tang: I liked the sunset beach that you've done, choice of medium, texture and the feel brought the painting to life. It's impressive.
Ruo Qin: Thank you Mr Li, you're too kind.
Li Tang: I'm just being honest. Let's discuss the terms that we can offer you, shall we?

After the interview..Ruo Qin knew something was not right.
Kris Ler recommended her to Pixen Gallery? How is that possible? Kris Ler have never seen or know she could paint.
There is only one person she could think of...
Wang Yan...
