Hearing Miss Vera's words, Su Yehao was confused.

He hesitated for a moment, but finally couldn't help asking, "Why are you talking about this? Are you confessing to me, or..."

"Hmm?"

Vera shook her head decisively and replied with a surprised tone, "Of course not. Why would I ruin your relationship with Jiang Yu... and others? Can't alumni who haven't seen each other for a long time talk about these things?"

"It's not that we can't talk about them, but I only now know that you once waited for me, which makes me feel strange. Is this the regret of youth?"

Su Yehao knew that Miss Vera's thoughts were different from other girls, so he didn't think too much about it.

He took a sip of tea and added, "But, discovering that I live this kind of life now, irresponsible and a playboy, will it make you breathe a sigh of relief, and think it's fortunate that I didn't look for you back then?"

Vera smiled brightly and said, "A little bit. I might not be able to handle overly complicated relationships. My father once liked a Hungarian model who worked in Casino, 1997, and my mother made a big fuss when she found out, which left a deep impression on me. Just as you said, with the differences between us, it's indeed not suitable for us to be together."

Talking about this made Miss Vera a lot happier.

It was probably like unlocking the answer to a puzzle, learning that Su Yehao was just unclear about his own thoughts back then, rather than knowingly choosing someone else, which allowed her to put down a small stone buried in her heart.

Even the most Buddha-like girl... is still a girl, and it's hard to completely not care about these things.

After chatting, they finally got down to business.

After Miss Vera looked at the painters selected by the designer, she was slightly surprised and said, "They are all very famous and have the ability to create murals that match the design style of your house. Why would you choose to ask me for help?"

"...Because your work looks more comfortable. After talking with the designer in the morning, I thought of the peach blossom painting you gave me. If I use some traditional mainland painting techniques, I should be able to recreate a similar one, and then create it directly on the wall of the living room, or put a canvas on it."

Su Yehao finished speaking.

Mentioning her profession, Miss Vera became energetic, stared at the design drawings of the house in Pengcheng and carefully read them, and exclaimed: "The designer you hired must be an outstanding master. The garden looks very artistic, and the bronze-wrapped columns look like golden cudgels. I have never seen such a modern traditional garden. He combines the two very well. Can you introduce him to me? Maybe I can also build a studio in a similar style. It must be very comfortable to live in."

"It's a bit inappropriate to call it a traditional garden. It should be called New Chinese style. The traditional culture of the mainland is now reviving and innovating. If you are willing to move to Pengcheng, I can give you a piece of land to replace the reward for your creation. Your works are not cheap now."

"Really?"

After Miss Vera asked, she added, "I only need a very small piece of land. Your house is so big that it looks like a palace. I can't afford the high cost..."

Su Yehao's new house in Pengcheng Sihai International Cultural Tourism City covers an area of more than nineteen mu, and is surrounded by a small lake.

In addition to his residence and the nanny building, he also built an independent ancient-style reception building, named "Lingxiao Terrace," which has a total of six floors and is equivalent to a private club with dining, hot springs, movies, and everything else. The building area alone is more spacious than the one in Deep Water Bay.

If it weren't for his special status, Pengcheng would not have approved the permit at all. This special matter was handled specially, and even the courtyard had a property certificate, which was a reward.

After quickly chatting with Miss Vera, it was decided that she would paint four of the murals, and the rest would be entrusted to Mr. Zhao Wuji as much as possible. If the other party was unwilling, he would buy a few ready-made oil paintings and hang them on the wall.

Su Yehao looked at the sample drawings found by the designer and felt that Mr. Zhao's style was quite suitable, but after all, he was almost eighty years old, and it was indeed a bit difficult to ask him to paint murals.

…

After ten days of fermentation.

When the second batch of "Slightly Sweet" albums was released, the popularity suddenly declined, and the sales situation was indeed as Su Yehao had guessed, plummeting.

After seeing Vera, he went to Tianyu Entertainment to find the little girl.

She complained incessantly, "It's so hateful that even people inside our company bought pirated albums for a few dollars each, and I caught them. If I wasn't afraid of being nagged for making a fuss, I really wanted to send her to Africa to develop new markets."

Su Yehao put his arms around her and smiled, "It's not that serious. Those small workshops will do anything to make money. Anyway, I only plan to release this one album in my life, and they won't be able to fleece me again next time. But the songs, movies, and TV series released by the company have a big impact. I will make suggestions to the higher-ups to strengthen supervision."

Nangong Tian kissed him on the face, then quickly wiped off the lipstick mark, and asked, "The investment funds you helped me manage in the United States have all been redeemed. The bank calls me every now and then, asking me to buy wealth management products, funds, insurance, etc. There is still about 370 million Hong Kong dollars left. What do you think I should do? Otherwise, I'll buy 5s Asset Management's wealth management products or the Yanwenzi Group's stock? So that the bank won't keep thinking about me all day long. Recently, someone even suggested that I buy a house, probably because they have a cooperation with a real estate company."

"5s Asset Management has good long-term potential, but the mainland stock market is in a small bull market. I don't know how it will go next. Based on our relationship, of course, I have to give you special treatment. Wait for me to help you find out recently. I also have a lot of funds in my own account."

Su Yehao's Cyberport project is temporarily being developed with the Green Diamond Real Estate Group's own funds. Although the other big money-burning projects cost a lot of money, they don't require all the capital to be paid at once.

This has resulted in a large amount of cash still lying in the account, earning wealth management income, from the money he made speculating in the US stock market last year.

The investment portfolio includes funds, trusts, and bank fixed interest.

Under the premise of ensuring stability, it can reach an annualized rate of return of about 8%.

Although he knew that it was a bit of a loss if he didn't invest this money as soon as possible, Su Yehao was still thinking about seizing the opportunity to buy the bottom of Silicon Valley's high-quality assets, so he wanted to be patient and wait.

For example, Apple.

During the peak period of its stock price last year, Apple's market value had exceeded 14 billion US dollars. Now, its total market value has been directly cut in half, and it is still falling steadily.

Amazon is the same, with a larger drop than Apple. After the bubble occurred last year, the stock price evaporated by 80%. It is estimated that an investment opportunity will appear soon.

So, for the time being, all he has to do is wait and see patiently...
