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."
Huo Xuanzhou had chosen the address of this restaurant. 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 followed the advice and quickly ordered the dishes. She returned the menu to the waiter, then looked at Huo Xuanzhou and emphasized, "It's agreed that today's meal is my treat. 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 of owing favors to others? Yu Wan said, "That's not the case. It's just that since I 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, "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 situation. After all, I have something to ask you today, and I want you to pay for it. 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 eating 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 really my honor."
“I thought you would ask me why.”
"Uh...why?" She was very cooperative. Since she was asking for help today, of course she had to cooperate.
"I can't really explain it. Maybe this is the fate between people."
"...I thought you would say it was because I saved Xiaoxing."
"Of course there is this reason."
Yu Wan felt that the topic was getting more and more dangerous, and she didn't like this feeling. She changed the subject and asked, "Mr. Huo, do you like collecting antiques?"
The topic change was very abrupt, and Huo Xuanzhou just smiled faintly, "If I come across something I particularly like, I'll collect it."
Yu Wan continued, "It's like this. There's an auction at the end of the month. 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 someone else 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 I'm forbidden to leave the province."
Huo Xuanzhou's expression did not change. He did not even ask what case Yu Wanqian 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's not important."
Yu Wan was choked by the other party's nonchalance and explained dryly, "Actually, the case is quite big... This is what happened. Now it's involved in 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 kind-hearted as ever. It's right for you to save people."
That’s it?
"Aren't you afraid that I'll 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 solved in the end, I can only say that it is fate."
Huo Xuanzhou disagreed. "You are implicated because of their ability, not your problem."
Yu Wan was so grateful that she couldn't express it. Even though the problem hadn't been solved yet, she said sincerely, "Thank you."
There is no need to say anything about how she cannot repay the other person. Anyway, if there is a chance to repay the other person in the future, she will definitely repay him.
With Huo Xuanzhou's intervention, no matter how big the problem was in Yu Wan's eyes, it was easily solved.
She was notified of her release the next day, but with one condition: if she was subpoenaed, she was still expected to cooperate with the investigation.
Of course that's fine.
Fearing that the night would be long and full of dreams, 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 said something to Liu Lianfang, and she arranged for someone to help transport the goods.
She had to act separately, otherwise her actions would be known to everyone, 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 big and small ones, the big ones are like vases, and the small ones are like earrings and necklaces.
The next day, professionals transported it back.
After the babies were successfully transported back, Liu Lianfang was stunned when she saw so many babies.
She quickly found a professional appraiser to appraise it.
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 can be over 70 or 80 million."
Liu Lianfang took a deep breath. This meant that if the auction for this batch of goods was successful, she would not get a few million, but tens of millions.
It’s not like Liu Lianfang hasn’t seen so much money before, but it was all from her family or her husband’s family. She herself has never earned so much, so the feeling is different.
"We have to do a good job of publicity. With these treasures, we can invite any 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 she spoke. "I will go back and write invitations. I will invite every famous person in the industry. If they know there are these treasures at the auction, I don't believe they won't come!"
