1102 AT THE NATIONAL ART MUSEUM

LUO JIN got out of the car and stared at the building in front of him. The building has a modern design with clean lines and large windows, showcasing a mix of concrete and glass materials. It has a spacious entrance area that emphasizes its contemporary style. And right now, there was a long line of people waiting to go inside.

His brows furrowed a bit when he saw that. He had expected that there would be a lot of art enthusiasts who would come here today. After all, it was free admission. Who would want to waste the chance of seeing the works of a national-level artist? But he thought the flow of people would slow down by now. It seemed that he still underestimated the popularity of Su Yuqi's father.

Su Cheng Han was a renowned artist known for traditional painting. All of his artworks were valued at least 10 million RMB, highlighting his significant influence and fame in the art world. At least that's what Baidu told him when he searched the other's name.

Luo Jin wasn't particularly interested in art, so he didn't fully grasp the significance of that information. He simply assumed that Su Yuqi's father must be well-known. Now, seeing the long line of people, he began to realize just how famous Su Yuqi's father really was.

And this left him in a dilemma.

Should he line up? Or should he talk to the person in charge and say that he would donate some money if they could just let him enter without going through that long line?

Secretary Gao, who was standing on the side, began to get nervous when he saw the third young master frowning. Especially since the other was doing it while staring at the long line.

The third young master was probably annoyed, thinking he had to line up in order to enter the museum. Although Secretary Gao didn't know what the young master was doing here, he knew that, as the secretary temporarily assigned to the other, he should do something to ease that annoyance.

This was all to avoid getting fired. As a competent secretary, he needed to resolve the issue before the young master reacted impulsively due to irritation.

"Don't worry, third young master. I will solve this issue. You can enter the museum within 10, no, five minutes. So, please just wait here."

Before Luo Jin could react to what the secretary had just said, the other had already walked a few steps away from him and took out his phone, obviously about to call someone. He raised his brow as he watched the other. Well, at least that solved his problem.

He was actually thinking of just lining up. Even if he lined up now, he would probably just have to wait for an hour. He could still bear that. But who would have thought the secretary his father assigned to him would be this competent?

And just like the other said, he was able to enter the museum within five minutes. He looked at the other in amazement. "How did you do it?"

Secretary Gao adjusted his glasses. "I just contacted the director of the museum and told him that Tianhua Group is willing to donate a generous amount to the National Art Museum."

The other didn't have to finish what he's saying for Luo Jin to understand that the condition for that to happen would be to let him enter the museum. So, it was bribery. But what amazed him was how fast this secretary managed to contact the museum's director. It's not like the person's contact number could be found on Baidu or something, right?

No, that didn't really matter now. The important thing was he managed to enter without having to wait for an hour.

"That's amazing," he said honestly. "Thank you."

An awkward expression appeared on the secretary's face, as if he didn't expect him to say 'thank you'. The other cleared his throat, trying hard to regain his normal expression. "I'm just doing my job, young master."

"Still, you deserve praise for doing things so neatly and quickly."

The secretary continued to look at him as if he was an alien. The other must have realized that the way he was looking at him was rude, so he erased the look on his face before changing the topic.

"Third young master, I need to meet with the museum director briefly. Please stay here until I return," the secretary said earnestly, looking directly at him. "Please?"

At those eyes that seemed to be begging him, Luo Jin could only nod. Even when the other walked away and glanced at his direction from time to time, he continued to stand there. Wait- why did he feel that something was wrong with the way the secretary was acting?

After a full minute of just standing blankly into space, he finally realized why that was.

Wasn't this because the other was expecting him to cause trouble? His expression darkened when he thought of that possibility. It's surprisingly not that hard to think of the reason why the secretary would think that way.

Before Luo Yan woke up from coma, he was in his 'rebellious phase'. He never hesitated to fight back whenever people tried to pick a fight with him or whenever he saw someone trying to bully another student. Of course, he didn't do the latter because of some kind of strong sense of justice. He mostly did it to release all his pen-up anger issues. Instead of hurting some innocent bystander, it's better to beat up a shitty asshole.

Nowadays, things were different. Yet, it appeared that his "good reputation" had spread among the company's employees. He wasn't sure if he should feel bothered by this. Generally, he wasn't concerned about others' opinions of him, but it was still irritating.

Luo Jin sighed, a trace of annoyance appearing on his face. He was thinking of finding Su Yuqi. But if he did, he felt like he's proving that secretary that he was indeed a troublemaker.

As he was facing another dilemma, a familiar voice suddenly called to him.

"Ah Jin?"
