C37 (1/2)
Sitting down again, Jiang Liu'er started to worry for Wu Hui. ”If there are any problems that cannot be solved, I can help. Please speak your mind. I, Jiang Liu'er, will not refuse.”
In reality, Xuanyuan Mingxue didn't really want Jiang Liu`er to interfere, but she didn't have the qualifications to speak at the moment. Frowning, she could only allow the situation to develop as it pleased.
Wu Hui shook his head with a bitter smile, ”Things are indeed a little tricky, but please believe that I can handle it well. Give me half an hour, I'll leave first.”
Jiang Liu'er nodded and Wu Hui left in a hurry. Before he left, he ordered a luxurious lunch for Jiang Liu'er and Xuanyuan Mingxue, causing them to not know what to say.
”This …” Jiang Liu'er looked at the sumptuous lunch on the table. Her stomach was growling and she couldn't help but drool. Although Xuanyuan Mingxue was a little displeased with Wu Hui's idea of making them wait, she was indeed starving.
”I'm already green, it's a waste of time to eat.” As he spoke, he picked up his knife and fork and enjoyed himself.
This bottle of foie gras and caviar was enjoyed by the two of them. Finally, there was a bottle of expensive red wine on the table. Jiang Liu'er took a sip, this bottle was indeed not bad, but it was not as good as the one he drank in Wu Hui's office.
Xuanyuan Mingxue had eaten her fill and could not help but laugh.
”What are you laughing at?” Jiang Liu'er was puzzled as to what this Xuanyuan Mingxue was laughing about.
However, Xuanyuan Mingxue shook her head. ”It's nothing. I keep having the feeling that we're walking step by step into a set that was designed by someone else. Don't we have a saying that we're taking advantage of others because they have a short tongue?”
Jiang Liu'er blinked her eyes, but she had no way to refute him.
After half an hour, Wu Hui finally managed to extricate himself from his busy schedule and was barely able to extricate himself from his predicament.
When they entered the restaurant again, it seemed that the relationship between the three of them had subtly changed. Of course, the most striking change was still Xuanyuan Mingxue.
”I'm sorry to have to wait so long, that place is indeed a little busy. How's the food? Are we still going to close?”
”It's not just that we're talking, it's really quite sumptuous. Alright, you're so busy, so let's not bother with formalities anymore. I've already brought the ring and pen, do you still want to verify them?”
Jiang Liu'er had already placed the two items she had prepared into two boxes.
Although Wu Hui could not help but want to see the face of the pen in the photo, this was not the time to be in a rush.
”The vase is next to the storage shelf. This is the storage card, you can go and get it.” Wu Hui took the two boxes from Jiang Liu'er and stuffed them into his pocket without even looking at them.
Although Jiang Liu'er knew that Wu Hui was a little anxious, she still hoped that the deal would be completed in a clear and straightforward manner. ”Why don't you take a look?”
Wu Hui smiled. ”Jiang Liu'er's name is a hot topic in the antique industry, what else can I not believe? Alright, brother, it's really inconvenient to have a long chat today. How about this, we can meet another day, and I'll definitely treat you to a meal another day, okay?”
Jiang Liu'er was suddenly curious about the reason why Wu Hui was in such a hurry.
”Since you've already called me brother, then let me be direct with this matter. Have you really encountered any problems?”
Faced with Jiang Liu'er's questioning, Wu Hui mumbled and stammered. He had indeed encountered a problem and it was a problem with the antiques. He knew that asking Jiang Liu'er to help him solve it was indeed a good choice.
Of course, he did not want the money that he had earned from the antiques to be distributed to the second person, even if it was someone who could help him, whether it was deceitful or not, that was what a true businessman was.
”Heh, forget it. There is indeed a problem, but I accept your good intentions. I can do it myself.”
Seeing how determined Wu Hui was to not interfere, Jiang Liu'er had a small thought. However, she did not pursue the matter. ”Alright, I, Jiang Liu'er, am still asking for help. Since you are a friend, you should help. I will do my best to help.”
After a short exchange of courtesies, Wu Hui left in a hurry. Jiang Liu'er took her storage card to the front desk and easily obtained the crux of the transaction, the blue and white porcelain vase.
The corners of Jiang Liu'er's mouth curled up, he could already feel the air currents in the box. Although he couldn't wait to absorb the air currents sealed inside, now was not the time to open the box.
Everyone knew the value of blue and white porcelain. Once it showed up here, there would definitely be news about it.
”Let's go.” Jiang Liu'er and Xuanyuan Mingxue left the restaurant but did not return home immediately. Instead, they found a deserted park.
”Why are you here?” Xuanyuan Mingxue was a little puzzled. Why didn't Jiang Liu'er hurry back home and absorb the air currents, instead coming to this park?
”Murong Batian isn't a simple person. I felt that someone was following me for the past few days, and I think it should be someone from Murong Batian's group. Since we've already obtained the blue and white porcelain, this news will definitely reach Murong Batian's ears at the first moment. With his personality, this thing will not last more than an hour in my hands, right? It will take him too long to return home from here, so I might as well find a place to absorb the energy.”
