Chapter 173 The Mysterious Mr. James
When Yan Liang heard the person on the phone informing her that Wang Kaiye was dead, she was stunned for a moment.
After a few seconds, she came back to her senses and subconsciously asked, "How did he die?"
"suicide."
Those two cold words became the full stop in a person's life.
Although he had no feelings for Wang Kaiye, Yan Liang still felt sad, out of awe and compassion for life.
She thought about it, put her phone into her bag, adjusted her mood and expression, and headed towards the place where she had an appointment with Shao Qianyi.
Coming out of the parking lot, I saw Shao Qianyi's tall figure from afar, so I walked towards him with a smile.
Shao Qianyi's eyes would light up every time he saw Yan Liang. It wasn't because Yan Liang's clothes were amazing, but every time he saw her, he had a new feeling, just like the spring breeze, each wisp brought a different freshness and fragrance.
The two of them walked into the private room on the seventh floor. A tall man with deep blue eyes stood up and stared at Yan Liang with a smile on his lips. He spoke fluent Chinese: "Hello, Miss Yan Liang. Seeing you, my eyes seem to be cleansed."
Yan Liang smiled faintly: "Thank you, Mr. James."
After sitting down, neither side was polite, and Mr. James handed Yan Liang a photo.
Yan Liang stared at it carefully, and frowned slightly: "Mr. James, the embroidery on this skirt is three different embroidery, that is, different colors, different needles, and different styles. The patterns on both sides are different, the color transitions are different, and the needlework used is also completely different."
Mr. James' eyes immediately showed surprise, and he asked anxiously: "Miss Yan, you can tell at a glance, which means you can embroider this kind of pattern, right?"
Yanliang does know how to do it, and the piece she is currently embroidering, which she is planning to take to the World Fashion Exhibition, is made using the Sanyi embroidery technique.
However, embroidering such a work requires a lot of time and energy. She is pregnant now and cannot work so hard.
Seeing her hesitation and embarrassment, Mr. James thought it was a price issue, so he immediately said, "As long as you can embroider the same dress for me, money is not a problem. I am willing to pay 100 million US dollars for it, and you can add more!"
Yan Liang was shocked. He didn't expect him to ask for 100 million US dollars. It can be seen how much he values his wife's last wish.
Grateful for his kindness, Yan Liang said in relief: "It's not a matter of money. It will take about three months, or even longer, to embroider a piece like this. Besides, I'm afraid I won't be able to start embroidering within a year."
"Why?" Mr. James asked excitedly, "You can add more money. I will give you any amount as long as you help me fulfill my wife's last wish!"
"Don't get me wrong, it's not about money." Yan Liang said helplessly and apologetically, "It's because of my own health."
Shao Qianyi saw Yan Liang's slightly red cheeks and the expression that was difficult to speak, his eyes were filled with doubt and worry: "Yan Liang, what's wrong with you? Where do you feel uncomfortable?"
"Don't worry, I'm not feeling uncomfortable." Yan Liang's face turned even redder, and she didn't know what to say.
Mr. James's face was solemn, his eyes were deep in thought for a moment, he looked up at Yan Liang solemnly and said: "As long as you are willing to help me embroider, in addition to the reward, I am willing to owe you a favor. As long as you have difficulties in the future, I can help you solve them!"
Shao Qianyi was startled and looked at Mr. James in surprise, then turned to look at Yan Liang, the urgency in his eyes almost overflowing, but he refrained from saying a word and waited quietly for her decision.
Yan Liang saw that Mr. James was determined to get it, and finally couldn't bear it. He pursed his lips and nodded in agreement: "Okay, I promise you. If you want the original pattern, you will probably have to wait for three months. If it can be a different pattern, I can give it to you in a month."
James' eyes sparkled with excitement. He rubbed his hands together. The stern look on his face disappeared. He smiled like a child who got candy. "Okay, OK! Other designs are fine. My wife will definitely be very happy. She wanted to see more exquisite items when she was alive. Unfortunately, there is only that one, so she treasures it like a treasure."
Yan Liang breathed a sigh of relief. She decided to give up the World Fashion Exhibition for the time being and give the half-finished dress to the affectionate man in front of her.
One hundred million US dollars, she thought it was a bit unrealistic.
The guests and hosts had a great time for the rest of the time. Before leaving, Mr. James gave Yan Liang his private number so that she could call him anytime if she had any questions.
Shao Qianyi and Yan Liang sent Mr. James away together. Shao Qianyi looked at Yan Liang with sparkling eyes: "Do you know how rare it is for Mr. James to agree to owe you a favor? Countless people in the world want to get such an opportunity, but they can't get it!"
Yan Liang blinked blankly and said mischievously, "Really? He's not a god, nor is he Aladdin's magic lamp. How can he grant every wish?"
Shao Qianyi laughed: "Almost! He is Aladdin's magic lamp. You can make any wish to him and he can make it come true for you. So, you have to be careful and think carefully, because there is only one chance like this."
Seeing that the senior was speaking seriously, Yan Liang also became serious: "Does he really have such great power?"
"Really! Yanliang, don't use his power easily, and don't tell anyone about this, including Sheng Boyan, remember?"
Yan Liang looked into his solemn eyes: "Okay, I understand, Senior."
It was almost time to go to work in the afternoon. Yan Liang said goodbye to Shao Qianyi, but Shao Qianyi was reluctant to leave.
After hesitating for a moment, he asked, "Do you know about Wang Kaiye's matter?"
Yan Liang was startled: "Yeah, I see."
She saw Shao Qianyi's worry and said with a faint smile: "Senior, don't worry about me. I don't have any feelings for him, and I won't attend his funeral. I'm not even curious about the reason why he committed suicide."
Shao Qianyi's expression relaxed: "Okay, I'll take you to the company."
"Go ahead and do your work, Senior. I drove here, so you can go back by yourself."
Shao Qianyi watched Yan Liang's car drive away before jumping into the police car and speeding away.
On the way back to the company, Yan Liang thought carefully and believed that Wang Kaiye’s death might be related to the true identity of Sheng Boyan, whom she mentioned to him a few days ago.
Was Wang Kaiye afraid, or was he feeling guilty? Yan Liang couldn't tell for sure, but he definitely understood that Sheng Boyan and his father and son had a life-and-death relationship.
Did he hope that his death would make Sheng Boyan show mercy to Wang Qinghai? Or maybe he didn't dare to face Wang Qinghai's fate.
When they bullied the weak Shen Caiping, they thought they were always invincible and didn't take her and her father seriously at all. Over the years, they have even forgotten the tragic death of the father and daughter, and they probably never regretted it even in their dreams.
However, everything in the world is subject to cause and effect and retribution. When they suffer the consequences of their sins and pay the price, no amount of repentance will help because it will be too late.
