Volume 2: The Ripples Begin Chapter 46: Missed Opportunity

  Spring goes and autumn comes, the four seasons alternate, and in the blink of an eye, it's been more than a year. A year ago, Su Ying completed her study plan and took her handpicked team to find Leng Han. Meanwhile, Chen Cen Yun Xi established the Qingyun Group under the suggestion of Yun Qingran, which includes Chen Cen's Xiran Real Estate and Yun Xi's Qingchen Apparel.

  For more than a year, the Zhongyi Martial Arts Hall did not dare to take too much action against Chen Zhenyun because of the restraint of the Wang family. In return for the help of the Wang family, Yun Qingran was grateful and provided auxiliary internal strength training prescriptions for Wang Lao Yezi and his three sons and daughters. These prescriptions were nothing to Yun Qingran, but they were precious to the Wang family, so they worked hard to protect the Yun family's group in C City, and Chen Zhen's real estate company developed rapidly without any obstacles.

  Qingchen's clothing development is faster than Chen Cheng's real estate company. The saying that "women and children are the best to make money" is very reasonable. Qingchen Clothing mainly operates high-end clothing and has a small reputation internationally. Qingchen Clothing's clothing has three levels: Piao, Xian, and Shen Ji (Miracolo). Piao belongs to mid-range clothing, which can be bought as long as you have the money; Xian belongs to high-end clothing, with limited quantities per style, requiring a VIP card to purchase; The highest Shen Ji has only three pieces per season, and only diamond VIP holders are eligible to participate in the auction.

  After viewing the newly renovated villa, Yun Qingran followed Yun Xi to leave the Jing Shan Villa area by car. The Jing Shan Villa area is a high-end villa area developed by Chen Chen's company in the suburbs of C City. Although it is in the suburbs, the transportation is convenient and the roads are smooth, and it only takes half an hour to drive from the villa to the city center.

  The entire villa area is surrounded by blue sky, green mountains, clear water and flying birds... A piece of native land nurtured in the lake and mountain scenery stretches with the line of sight, adjacent to a natural bird sanctuary with layered peaks in the distance; The sparkling blue lake lies horizontally between them, with the shoreline winding and twisting, dividing the native land into two parts from south to north like a long river; And on this piece of land that maintains its primordial state, Yun Qingran's creative idea dominates the entire Xiran Real Estate, designing and planning a lakeside pure villa community where architecture, nature and humanity blend perfectly over six months.

  The villa was divided into three phases of construction. Due to insufficient funds from Xiran Real Estate, the project was only launched after introducing funding from Qingchen Fashion. Now that the first phase is complete, Chen Chen reserved the second largest suite for himself and plans to auction off the largest one to avoid drawing attention. He had also wanted to reserve a suite each for Yun Xiangyan and Yun Xiangfei, but they both declined, citing Chen Chen's need to recoup his investment. They were right, so Chen Chen decided to reserve a suite for each of them after completing the third phase of construction.

  This villa district, Yun Qingran also independently designed a security system, the level is absolutely among the best in the world, but of course, it won't be explicitly stated to outsiders, otherwise, it would attract unwanted attention from other forces. The public areas of the community are equipped with cameras everywhere, and although no one has moved in yet, all the safety equipment is already in place, and the security personnel are retired soldiers who have been thoroughly investigated before being hired.

  Yun Qingran came this time to accompany Yun Xi to see the decoration progress. The design work of the decoration drawings was handed over to her by Chen Cengyun and Yun Xi before the construction of this villa began. Yun Qingran designed more than 20 decoration effect diagrams in the space for Yun Xi to choose from, and the remaining ones were handed over to Chen Ceng to let him find someone from the decoration department to decorate one or two model houses. The other drawings were left for the buyers to see, and if they liked them, they would ask the decoration department to send someone to decorate their homes, which also served as an advertisement for the decoration department. This time, the decoration was also arranged by Yun Qingran, who naturally let the robots do it, while designing a smart system and a more advanced security system for her own villa.

  "Shall we go take a look at our family's clothing store?" Yun Xi suddenly asked as soon as the car drove out of the villa's gate.

  "Good." Yun Qing nodded lightly. Thinking about it, it seemed that she hadn't been to the store since they opened, so this time was a good opportunity to take a look.

  Yun Xi drove very fast and arrived at the largest flagship store in the city center in over 20 minutes. Yun Qing got out of the car and looked at the storefront in front of her, with a noble and elegant entrance on both sides of which were glass display cabinets, the interior was tastefully decorated and bright, and the spacious store had a limited number of clothing samples arranged in a staggered manner, at the very back of the store, there was a row of black wooden doors with silver trim, which was a fitting room specially prepared for customers.

  "Really, this store looks good, right? Mom designed and decorated it herself." Yun Xi parked the car and came over to see Yun Qingran checking out the place, saying proudly. Her daughter was too mature, making Yun Xi, as a mother, seem childish, showing off in front of her own daughter.

  "En, not bad." Yun Qingran nodded slightly and replied faintly. The decoration books that Yun Qingran had prepared for Chen Chen were also being looked at by Yun Xi in her free time. Yun Xi was originally sensitive to color matching, so after taking a look, although she couldn't design the decoration drawings herself, she could express her own ideas to the designer and let the designer draw according to her requirements.

  "Come on, I'll take you upstairs to have a look." Upon hearing Yun Qingran's affirmative response, Yun Xi became excited and pulled Yun Qingran towards the stairs leading to the second floor inside the store.

  "Welcome, please follow me." Two pretty girls wearing cheongsam dresses stood on both sides of the stairs. Seeing Yun Xi and Yun Qingran walking towards the stairs, they came forward to greet them and led the two upstairs.

  Stepping on the soft carpet of the staircase, Yun Qing listened to Yun Xi's introduction: "To go up to the second floor, you must show your VIP card, but people who have been here a few times and are remembered by the welcoming staff will generally be taken directly upstairs."

  "Yun Zong, how did you come?" Seeing Yun Xi coming up, a person who looked like the manager walked over and spoke in a low voice after leading the two to leave.

  "Hehe, Little Qin, I'm just bringing my daughter to take a look around. She's never been to our family store before." Yun Xi smiled and said: "Okay, call her Aunt Qin."

  "Aunt Qin." Yun called out lightly and cleverly. It was just a greeting, but she still gave face.

  "Mr. Yun, you're so young, I really can't believe you have a daughter this big! Your daughter is also very beautiful, I've never seen anyone as beautiful as her." Little Qin exclaimed in surprise. At this time, Yun Qingran was still not fully grown, but her elegant and calm demeanor made her already delicate features even more dazzling. Yun Qingran grew up quickly, looking like a 7 or 8-year-old child, while Yun Xi took good care of herself, looking only in her early twenties, so most people didn't think of the two as mother and daughter.

  As a parent, everyone likes to hear others praise their own children, and Yun Xi is no exception. However, he humbly replied: "It's not as exaggerated as you said." Seeing more and more guests arriving, Yun Xi couldn't let Xiao Qin accompany his family all the time: "Xiao Qin, you go ahead and get busy, I'll go sit in the rest area over there."

  "What would you like to drink? Do you need some snacks?" Yun Xi led Yun Qing Ran to a specially separated rest area and sat down, where the waiter in uniform immediately came over to ask.

  "Give me a cappuccino and an additional serving of tiramisu." Yun Xi was still looking at the menu brought by the waiter, but Yun Qing had already ordered. The rest area in Yun Xi's store was also her suggestion, and the drinks and snacks at the bar were also prepared according to her list and instructions, so she didn't need to look at the menu to know what they had.

  "Give me a strawberry ice cream." Yun Xi was delighted to eat icy treats, and every time she came, it was either shaved ice or ice cream.

  Yun Xi was still reading the introduction when Yun Qing Ran had already scanned the small rest area. The rest area was located on the outer wall, and the entire outer wall was made of transparent glass. The chairs in the rest area were all wooden, painted with dark paint but looked very natural.

  The waiter's movements were quick, and the two things they ordered arrived quickly. Yun Qingran first tasted the tiramisu that was delivered, feeling that the taste was not bad, and there was no big difference from what he had eaten before.

  She sat quietly here for half an hour, Yun Qingyan always felt that someone was watching her, but this feeling was too faint and she could hardly notice it. However, with her cultivation, who in C city could watch her without being noticed by her?

  Turning her head to look out of the glass wall, outside was a wide highway, and on the other side of the highway there were no houses, only a park. Those people couldn't be looking at her.

  Suddenly, Yun Qingran turned her head back and saw a black sedan parked on the highway by the park, which was in her blind spot just now. Her gaze stared straight at the position behind the car, and suddenly Yun Qingran ran downstairs. She didn't know why she suddenly wanted to see the person sitting in the back, her intuition told her that this person was very important to her. However, when she arrived downstairs, she found that the car was no longer there, and her heart felt empty.

  Yun Qingran didn't even know how she walked upstairs and back home, only feeling that her whole body was in a daze. There was a voice in her heart constantly telling her that she had missed an important person, but no matter what, she couldn't remember who that person was.
