Chapter 55
After the auction, Huo Yusen’s original plan was to give the item directly to Monier, but perhaps Huo Wu’s childish words had affected him a little because after going through all the procedures, he gave the item to his assistant, but Monier.
Monier already had an excited expression on his face as he prepared himself to accept the gift. However, he looked at Huo Yusen somewhat blankly when the gift was not delivered directly to his hand. He was confused and asked him “what happened” in French.
Huo Yusen had already thought of the perfect excuse just now, so he said, “I know of a skilled person who knows how to frame these artworks wonderfully. Once he frames these artworks, I will send it to you.”
Monier had no objection to his, but Mo Ze, on the other hand, revealed a surprised expression on his face for a second.
Huo Yusen’s action was completely beyond his expectations. He thought Huo Yusen would give the item to Monier on the spot.
This wasn’t the way Huo Yusen usually did things, so Mo Ze didn’t know which part of his plan had gone wrong.
Mo Ze stroked his chin and fell into deep contemplation.
Will his plan fail?
Compared to Mo Ze, Monier was excited. He was grateful to Huo Yusen’s offer, “I knew that China had some expert framers of artworks before, but I didn’t expect you to frame the artwork for me. This is great. Thank you, Eric.”
No matter what situation he was in, Huo Yusen remained calm and collected. Even when he was faced with Monier’s excitement and gratefulness, he still nodded his head and coldly replied, “You are welcome.” After he finished speaking, Huo Yusen gave his assistants some private instructions. Everyone thought that he ordered his assistant to send the collection to be framed, but only Huo Yusen and the assistant knew that he asked the assistant to check the authenticity of the item first.
Although Huo Wu’s words were somewhat childish, it also reminded him that it was safer to check the authenticity of the gift since it was so expensive.
Although the assistant was surprised by Huo Yusen’s instructions, he knew that his boss wouldn’t make him do something without a reason, so he attended to the matter earnestly.
After the auction ended, Hu Yusen’s original plan was to have dinner with Monier. He wanted to talk with him about their business partnership; however, with Huo Wu’s arrival, his plan may have to be changed.
Mr. Monier was in a good mood because he received a gift that was worth over a hundred million yuan. The smile on his face was softer and gentler than usual. He even invited Huo Wu to have dinner with them.
Huo Wu naturally had no objection.
She smiled sweetly and waved farewell to Mo Ze, and then she followed Huo Yusen and Monier and left the auction house. Huo Wu didn’t know what kind of expression Mo Ze had on his face when they all left.
Monier was staying at a five-star hotel located near the auction house. For convenience, the group didn’t go to any other restaurant, instead, they ordered dinner in the lobby of the hotel that Monier was staying at.
Huo Yusen and Monier only conversed in French. Huo Wu did not speak French and listening to them speak in French was similar to reading Greek.
She listened to Huo Yusen’s French, his voice was elegant and noble; it was like a feast for her ears.
However, Huo Yusen did not forget about Huo Wu. He handed her the menu and told her to order whatever she wanted to eat.
Huo Wu looked at the dishes on the menu and saw that each and every dish had exquisite names. She had no idea what to order, so she asked the server standing on the side, “What are your signature desserts?”
The server was professionally trained, so within thirty seconds, he was able to name six signature desserts of the hotel.
