Chapter 180 Yu Han Returns to Normal Life: Real Estate and Stock Speculation (Buying Street-Level Sh
Yang Yuhan plans to buy several commercial properties in a prime urban area to open an art gallery. Her lifelong dream is to dedicate herself to painting, and ideally, to achieve the painting skills of Ma Liang with his magic paintbrush.
Then she started waving her hands to buy houses. She worked for a real estate company, but all the commercial properties she had were already sold out. She had prepared two properties for herself in advance, but they were still bought by buyers at high prices.
This man, Lin Sheng, is a very influential figure in the area, a wealthy businessman with connections in both the legitimate and criminal worlds.
He had long heard that Yang Yuhan was going to open an art gallery here, so he deliberately paid a high price to buy the two commercial properties, with the aim of dampening Yang Yuhan's arrogance.
After learning that Lin Sheng was behind it, Yang Yuhan was not discouraged. She decided to find a suitable place again, even if it was a bit remote.
So she inquired around and finally found an abandoned factory on the outskirts of the city. The factory was quite large, and the rent was incredibly cheap.
Yang Yuhan bought the factory building and, after some careful renovation, the gallery had a unique charm.
On opening day, many art lovers came to see the gallery. Lin Sheng saw that Yang Yuhan had not been defeated, but instead had made the gallery very successful. He then had a new problem in mind: to ask this inexperienced female gallery owner to paint a picture.
Then he came to the gallery as a customer, and Yang Yuhan, as the owner of the gallery, naturally warmly welcomed every visitor.
Yang Yuhan's exquisite oil paintings, color paintings, landscape paintings, and figure paintings are all painted three months in advance, and then her subordinates are hung on the walls of the gallery as wallpaper.
Lin Sheng pretended to browse casually, finally stopping in front of a landscape painting. He turned to Yang Yuhan and said, "This painting looks nice, but I'd like to commission one. I wonder if the owner can meet my requirements?"
Yang Yuhan smiled and replied, "Please speak freely, sir." Lin Sheng's lips curled into a barely perceptible smile as he slowly said, "I want a painting that depicts all aspects of life. You have three days to complete it." The surrounding customers gasped upon hearing this request.
Yang Yuhan remained calm and agreed without any panic.
She closed her gallery and stayed indoors for three days. On the third day, when she unfurled her paintings, everyone was stunned.
The painting depicts a bustling market, working farmers, white-collar workers in high-rise buildings, and transactions in dark corners—a true reflection of all aspects of life.
Upon seeing the painting, Lin Sheng couldn't help but feel a sense of admiration for Yang Yuhan, but he maintained a calm demeanor on the surface.
At this moment, Yang Yuhan spoke up: "Mr. Lin, no matter what your purpose is in making things difficult for me, I just want to run my gallery properly. I hope you will not do such a thing again in the future."
Lin Sheng remained silent for a moment, then turned and left quietly, while Yang Yuhan continued to devote herself to her beloved gallery business.
From then on, she devoted herself to her paintings, striving to achieve the same level of skill as Ma Liang's magic paintbrush.
Then her gallery grew bigger and bigger, buying up almost every vacant storefront in the city to use as a gallery. She had hundreds or even thousands of gallery managers and staff.
There were about a hundred young men and women working as managers, both big and small.
Of course, this is in the future computer age, where most people have smartphones. Some who come to Yu Han's gallery will take out their smartphones to take pictures to take home. Of course, Yu Han doesn't care about that; he lets customers take pictures as they please. But they can't capture the smallest details in each painting.
One day, Yang Yuhan was admiring a new painting in the gallery when a young man rushed in. He introduced himself as a researcher from a technology company named Su Ran.
He told Yang Yuhan that they were researching a new type of image analysis technology and accidentally discovered something strange about the photos they took from her gallery.
When the photo is magnified countless times, some hidden ancient symbols can be seen, like some kind of mysterious hint.
Yang Yuhan was greatly surprised; she had never imagined that her paintings held such a secret. Su Ran asked for permission to study her paintings further, and Yang Yuhan agreed after a moment's thought.
As their research deepened, they discovered that these symbols pointed to a long-lost painting technique that could give artwork the power to influence a person's mood.
After the news spread, even more people flocked to the gallery. Lin Sheng returned, this time sincerely apologizing to Yang Yuhan and expressing his willingness to invest in expanding the gallery and promoting this unique art culture.
Yang Yuhan gladly accepted, knowing she was one step closer to her dream of becoming a painter, and her gallery had become one of the city's most unique cultural landmarks.
The two mothers, Liu Shulan and Liu Shuhua, also came to her first art gallery. When they arrived, the two female receptionists looked at each other and grimaced at the two elderly people. The two elderly people were dressed plainly and cleanly, but they were looking around. They didn't seem to be looking at paintings, but rather looking for people.
Then the salesperson ignored the two elderly people.
At this moment, Yang Yuhan came out of the general manager's office and asked the two elders how they found this place. Liu Shulan said that her fourth uncle had brought them here and escorted them to the door, and then her fourth uncle left.
Yang Yuhan reprimanded the two female receptionists, then personally led the two mothers on a tour of the gallery, patiently explaining the meaning behind each painting. The two mothers nodded, seemingly understanding.
At this moment, Su Ran rushed over, his face full of excitement. He told Yang Yuhan that through further research on the paintings, he discovered that if special pigments were combined with that lost technique, it might be possible to create paintings that could materialize fantastical things.
After hearing this, Yang Yuhan asked two waiters to take the two elderly mothers to have some fun.
Her eyes lit up when she saw Su Ran, and she immediately began to try it.
Lin Sheng also actively helped prepare the necessary materials. After many trials, Yang Yuhan finally succeeded in creating a painting.
As she applied her technique, the flowers in the painting seemed to slowly float out of the canvas, emitting a captivating fragrance.
This event caused a sensation throughout the city and even attracted the attention of many artists and collectors from abroad.
Yang Yuhan's gallery has become an international focus, attracting people from all over the world to visit and learn.
Yang Yuhan has not forgotten her original aspiration. While continuing to study painting techniques, she also offers free painting courses to impart the knowledge she has learned.
During this process, Lin Sheng truly became Yang Yuhan's friend and partner. Together, they propelled the art of painting to new heights, and Yang Yuhan steadily progressed towards painting skills akin to those of Ma Liang, the master painter.
Before long, Su Ran and Lin Sheng became the targets of Yang Yuhan's love offensive.
They secretly negotiated and competed fairly for Yang Yuhan as their girlfriend.
The two mothers, Liu Shulan and Liu Shuhua, told Yang Yuhan that these two could only be painting partners and ordinary friends, and absolutely could not be lovers or the men in the family.
