Gasp! She's a Time Traveler Using Modern Tech to Improve Ancient Life-Chapter 465 - 463: The Old Lady Who Loves Farming

Chen Yan was quite outgoing; as soon as the dishes were served, she had already talked about her job and plans to take the civil service exam, just short of announcing where her family lived.

Lin Wanwan, on the other hand, only mentioned she worked at the same company as Su Yanwei, leading Chen Yan to assume Lin Wanwan was a saleswoman in a luxury store.

She had a university roommate whose older sister was a sales champion at a luxury shop in Hai City, earning about four hundred thousand a year!

She glanced at the relatively silent Lu Shouyue, and from Su Yanwei’s attitude, she deduced that he was likely a wealthy client of theirs.

Initially, Chen Yan thought Lin Wanwan and Lu Shouyue were a couple, but soon realized they didn’t seem to be in that kind of relationship.

She actually had a good impression of Su Yanwei, especially since he didn’t turn away when she invited him to such a pricey restaurant, passing the first test.

Moreover, Su Yan, standing at one seventy-two, wasn’t a stunningly handsome guy but was quite presentable, a neat guy whom she found somewhat satisfactory.

But comparisons are inevitable; as neat as Su Yanwei was despite his height, he appeared less charming sitting next to the dashing and carefree Lu Shouyue.

Chen Yan, at her age, hadn’t seen a real-life tall, rich, and handsome man other than celebrities, and her thoughts were captivated by Lu Shouyue, engaging in lively conversation with Su Yanwei and Lin Wanwan yet focusing all her attention on Lu Shouyue.

However, Lu Shouyue remained aloof throughout, occasionally speaking a few words with Lin Wanwan and Su Yanwei, barely paying any attention to Chen Yan, which made her feel quite uncomfortable.

After dinner, Lin Wanwan settled the bill, and Su Yanwei drove Chen Yan home in his new Cadillac while Lin Wanwan rode in Lu Shouyue’s black Cayman; her own car had loaded seafood in the morning and was left to air after washing.

Chen Yan’s gaze complicatedly shifted away from Lu Shouyue’s black Cayman, feeling quite disappointed, but once seated in the passenger seat of Su Yanwei’s car, she started eagerly noting the new vehicle.

"Your car is so new, did you spray it with perfume?" One couldn’t deny, Chen Yan had some flirtatious skills.

The lively, cute, and outgoing young girl could become very radiant with just a bit of makeup and dressing up, for youth is the most beautiful demeanor.

Thus, Chen Yan impressed Su Yanwei favorably, especially since he just got his new car today and enjoyed a delicious meal, making him happy. Chen Yan’s question struck a chord, leading him to introduce his car right away.

"Are you in a hurry to go home? If not, shall we drive around the Bund?" Su Yanwei was keen on showing off his new car.

"Sure, I don’t have anything else going on." Chen Yan agreed with a smile, "But you have to drop me home before nine; I live with my parents, and they’d scold me if I’m late."

"Haha, okay, you are such a good girl!" Su Yanwei teased, though he was actually quite satisfied.

Growing up in a rural setting, he held conservative thoughts and desires for a wife, particularly fond of pure and beautiful women returning home prudently every night.

"Hey, is that beautiful lady today related to you?" Chen Yan asked curiously.

"My aunt’s daughter, half a year older than me." Su Yanwei replied with a smile.

"Oh, your cousin is a real beauty, your family has good genes!" Chen Yan remarked, casually complimenting Su Yanwei.

"And what about that Lu Shao, where is he from?" Chen Yan asked again.

"Him, from Yongcheng I guess, not very familiar with him." Su Yanwei replied offhandedly, then switched topics, and Chen Yan laughed and chimed in, making their chat quite enjoyable.

This matchmaking meeting turned out quite fruitful, though Chen Yan had other intentions in mind, for now, Su Yanwei remained a good catch, especially since she hadn’t added Lu Shouyue’s WeChat.

Her aunt had informed her that Su Yanwei saved two hundred thousand last year, nearing house purchase.

Should she succeed in the civil service exam, her first action might be to pursue her crush, but without passing yet, her choices differed.

She had attempted during school, but failed due to limited opening pits; passing was quite difficult.

Meanwhile, inside Lu Shouyue’s car, the two chatted casually: "Wanwan, is your company looking for designers?"

"Hmm, how did Mr. Lu know? I never mentioned it!"

Lu Shouyue chuckled: "I took a tour of your Yongtang the other day, ran into Yanwei there, he mentioned it." 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

"Oh, I see now."

"Wanwan, if you’re aiming for tech talent, I suggest going for winter campus recruitment; if seeking experienced artists, try headhunting rather than searching blindly in the market."

"You have a point, I’ll discuss this with our VP responsible for it, the recruitment hasn’t been progressing recently."

Once that was discussed, Lu Shouyue brought up another matter: "By the way, I know some intercontinental cultural heritage Masters in embroidery who’ve mentored many; does your company need partners? Maybe you could connect."

Lin Wanwan showed immediate interest: "Great! Where are they? Could Mr. Lu introduce them?"

"They’re in Gusu and Shuzhou, my auction house used to auction their embroideries." Lu Shouyue replied, "They indeed need partners now to promote their work."

"That would be perfect; partnering would mean win-win." Lin Wanwan praised with a smile, "Mr. Lu certainly knows all sorts of talents."

Lu Shouyue laughed: "In our line of work, it’s common to know people across all trades."

After dropping Lin Wanwan off home, Lu Shouyue pondered a moment before driving towards Drum Tower, with a Fine Embroidery bought from Yongtang in the car, intended to gift an elder for her enjoyment.

His grandmother had a keen interest in these, with many such pieces collected at home.

The embroidery bought by Lu Shouyue was produced by Lin Wanwan’s Great Tang Embroidery Workshop, sold for nearly a hundred thousand. Great Tang’s pieces were sold as high-end goods; connoisseurs naturally appreciated them, while those who didn’t, bought for the brand.

Lin Wanwan persistently targeted Times Square, insisting on setting up shop beside Times Square’s Misty Beauty to leverage the brand’s fame, akin to KFC’s initial approach with McDonald’s.

Domestically wealthy individuals prioritized brand name over quality, which she catered.

Lu Shouyue’s grandmother now lived alone in an elder home at Drum Tower, at ninety-two still looking merely in her seventies or eighties.

Her well-maintained face bore graceful traces of time, with little white hair complemented by a headpiece covering, exuding youthfulness. Most importantly, the elderly lady radiated tranquility, epitomizing calm and serenity of time.

When Lu Shouyue arrived, the elderly lady, vivid with energy, was catching insects in her vegetable garden, despite her age.

Anyone judging solely on her current appearance would mistakenly think she was a rural matriarch.
