Chapter 51 Twenty Treasures
Yu Wan was very surprised, "Mr. Huo, so early?"
Huo Xuanzhou saw Yu Wan coming and slowly stood up and pulled a chair for her.
"It's almost time. We can't keep the lady waiting."
What a gentleman.
Yu Wan said, "Thank you."
The waiter brought over two steaks.
"I'll order two steaks first, and you can order whatever you like for the rest."
This restaurant was chosen by Huo Xuanzhou. Yu Wan didn't know what to order, so Huo Xuanzhou said, "You can try their signature dishes. They've received good reviews."
Yu Wan listened to the advice and quickly ordered the dishes. She returned the menu to the waiter, then looked at Huo Xuanzhou and emphasized, "It's my treat for today's meal, so Mr. Huo, please don't rush to pay later."
Huo Xuanzhou looked at Yu Wan. "Miss Yu seems to be afraid of owing favors?"
Are you afraid that you'll owe someone a favor? Yu Wan said, "That's not the case. It's just that since you said it was my treat, I should do it to the end. Besides, I'm asking you for something today, so why should I ask you to treat me?"
Huo Xuanzhou nodded, "I see." "But I'm afraid it won't work this time."
"Why?"
"I am a VIP customer of this restaurant, and the money will be automatically deducted from my card."
Yu Wan: “…”
Huo Xuanzhou smiled, "I thought it was standard practice for men to pay when dining out with women."
Yu Wan was a little helpless. "It depends on the specific situation. After all, I have something to ask you today, and I want you to pay. I am embarrassed to ask for it."
Huo Xuanzhou smiled again, "It's okay, I don't mind."
Yu Wan was very surprised. "When Mr. Huo goes out to eat with others, do you always pay?"
No matter how rich you are, you won't be taken advantage of, right?
Huo Xuanzhou shook his head. "As you said, it depends on the situation. Most of the time, I don't like to eat with others."
Yu Wan's heart skipped a beat. She would never be so self-righteous as to think that she was one of the few. Just as she was about to apologize, Huo Xuanzhou spoke again, "But you are an exception."
Yu Wan's heart skipped a beat again.
I didn't know how to respond for a moment, and after a while I laughed and said, "Really? It's my honor."
"I thought you would ask me why."
"Um...why?" She was very cooperative. Since she needed help today, of course she had to cooperate.
"I can't really explain it. Maybe this is the fate between people."
"...I thought you were going to say it was because I saved Xiaoxing."
"Of course there is that reason."
Yu Wan felt that the topic was getting more and more dangerous. She didn't like this feeling, so she changed the subject and asked, "Mr. Huo, do you like collecting antiques?"
The topic was changed abruptly, and Huo Xuanzhou just smiled faintly, "If I come across something I particularly like, I will collect it."
Yu Wan continued, "It's like this, there's an auction at the end of the month, and I've provided a lot of antiques. If Mr. Huo is interested, you can go and take a look."
Huo Xuanzhou was a little surprised. "Are you doing antique business?"
Yu Wan was a little embarrassed. "Yes, I opened an antique shop with others and will hold an auction at the end of the month."
Huo Xuanzhou groaned, "I can't say for sure now. If I have time, I will go and take a look."
Yu Wan was even more embarrassed. "That was the original plan, but now something unexpected has happened. I can't leave the city to get the goods because I'm involved in a case and am forbidden to leave the province."
Huo Xuanzhou's expression did not change. He did not even ask what case Yu Wan was involved in. He just said calmly, "I will notify the police station and set you free."
Yu Wan was filled with emotion, "Don't you even ask what the case is?"
Huo Xuanzhou cut a piece of steak elegantly, "It doesn't matter."
Yu Wan was choked by the other party's calmness and explained dryly, "Actually, the case is quite big... This is how it happened. Now it involves the imperial capital, so the police here can't say anything."
Huo Xuanzhou listened to Yu Wan's explanation and was silent for a while. "Ms. Yu is as warm-hearted as ever. It's right for you to save people."
That’s it?
"Aren't you afraid that I will lie to you?"
Huo Xuanzhou smiled and shook his head. "You are not that kind of person. I can handle this matter. Don't worry."
Yu Wan couldn't help but be moved. "Mr. Huo, don't rush to agree to me, because this matter is indeed quite troublesome. Even if it can't be resolved in the end, I can only say that it is fate."
Huo Xuanzhou disagreed. "You were implicated because of their ability, not your problem."
Yu Wan was so grateful that she couldn't express it in words. Even though the matter hadn't been resolved yet, she sincerely said, "Thank you."
There is no need to say more about how she can't repay the other person. Anyway, if she has the chance to repay the other person in the future, she will definitely do so.
With Huo Xuanzhou's intervention, the problem that seemed so big to Yu Wan was easily solved.
She was notified of her release the next day, but with one condition: if she was summoned, she was still expected to cooperate with the investigation.
Of course that's no problem.
Fearing that the night would be too long and bring more trouble, Yu Wan bought a ticket to City D that day.
Her two bodyguards are still restricted in their freedom and cannot go with her, which is a bit of a pity, but it doesn't have much impact.
When I left, I told Liu Lianfang about it, and she arranged for someone to help transport the goods.
They had to act separately, otherwise her actions would be known clearly to others, which would not be a good thing.
When Yu Wan arrived at the house in City D, it was already evening. Yu Wan went directly to the basement to dig for treasures and took away twenty treasures at one time.
There are both large and small ones, big ones like vases, and small ones like earrings and necklaces.
The next day, professionals will transport it back.
After the treasures were successfully transported back, Liu Lianfang was dumbfounded when he saw so many treasures.
She quickly found a professional appraiser to conduct an appraisal.
After a day and a night of appraisal, the conclusion was reached.
"They are indeed antiques, and they are all quite valuable. According to market conditions, the smallest one can be auctioned for around one million, and the highest one can be auctioned for over 70 or 80 million."
Liu Lianfang took a breath, which means that if the auction for this batch of goods was successful, she would get not a few million, but tens of millions.
It’s not like Liu Lianfang had never seen so much money before, but it was all her family’s money, or her husband’s family’s money. She herself had never earned so much money, so the feeling was different.
"We have to do a good job of publicity. With these treasures, we can invite all the big names in the industry. I have to plan it carefully. You don't know that the treasures that appeared on the opening day of our 'Wan Fang Bao Zhai' have already shocked many people. This time, our 'Wan Fang Bao Zhai' can bring out so many treasures. I dare to guarantee that after this auction, our 'Wan Fang Bao Zhai' will definitely be famous in the industry!"
Liu Lianfang became more and more excited as he spoke. "I'll go back and write invitations. Every famous person in the industry, if they know there are these treasures at the auction, I don't believe they won't come!"
