Chapter 960: Chapter 960 [Confronting Young Master Xu Head-On]
Unbeknownst to her, Qiu Muran was still working. She had once heard Chu Qingxue ntion that Chu Corporation might invest in art, which could not only bring substantial profits but also establish a good corporate image.
In her view, this might be an opportunity.
“Let’s welco two top figures from the archeological world!” Xu Hanwen said.
Led by two tall waitresses in cheongsams, Lan Yuesheng and Hu Lan appeared.
“It’s really them!”
The people who recognized Lan Yuesheng and Hu Lan imdiately exclaid with excitent.
Lan Yuesheng and Hu Lan didn’t have any power, but their reputation was imnse. If they wanted, they could easily beco esteed guests of the Eight Great Families.
However, today they were invited by Xu Hanwen. The reason Xu Hanwen could invite Lan Yuesheng and Hu Lan wasn’t because he was more powerful than the Eight Great Families, but because he had sothing in his antiques that interested them, so they agreed to co.
“Mr. Xu!”
Lan Yuesheng and Hu Lan nodded at Xu Hanwen. Even after receiving various praises in the past, nothing matched how satisfying their greeting was.
“Haha, Mr. Lan, Mr. Hu, you two are titans in the archeological field. There are many young people here who admire you greatly.” Xu Hanwen indirectly praised Lan Yuesheng and Hu Lan.
Upon hearing this, Lan Yuesheng and Hu Lan glanced down at the “young people.”
“Hmm?”
Lan Yuesheng and Hu Lan looked at each other, a thought simultaneously crossing their minds, then they spoke in unison: “Is it Little Ye?”
“Little Ye? Who is Little Ye?”
The question swiftly spread among the crowd, leaving most people puzzled.
“Mr. Lan…”
Xu Hanwen wanted to ask what was happening, but in the next second, Lan Yuesheng and Hu Lan headed straight down in one direction.
“Ah!”
The entire room was almost stupefied. Who were Lan Yuesheng and Hu Lan going to find down there?
“…”
The crowd gradually grew excited as Lan Yuesheng and Hu Lan made their way through and finally stood before Ye Chenfeng.
“Ah!”
Qiu Muran’s driver!
The two archeological titans were looking for him?
How could it be?
The entire place was petrified, silent, staring blankly at Ye Chenfeng.
“Little Ye, what are you doing here?”
Lan Yuesheng smiled benevolently, eyes gleaming with undisguised joy.
Hu Lan regarded him with a gaze as warm as if he were looking at his own grandson, an expression so gentle it could lt hearts.
After Lan Yuesheng spoke, the crowd was convinced that these two archeological titans had indeed co looking for Ye Chenfeng.
Who was he?
Others exchanged glances, a shared thought passing through their minds: What kind of identity did Ye Chenfeng hold?
Qiu Muran preferred Ye Chenfeng over Xu Hanwen. Everyone thought Ye Chenfeng was just a driver. Even after Lin Jiaojiao mocked and ridiculed him with Xu Hanwen, Xu Hanwen assud he was just a driver.
But now, the archeological titans, esteed by the Eight Great Families of the Capital City, were excitedly rushing over to him, what kind of figure was he?
“…”
Xu Hanwen was dumbfounded, initially feeling smug for bringing Lan Yuesheng and Hu Lan here, only to realize that after a brief greeting, they went straight for Ye Chenfeng.
“So it’s Grandpa Lan and Grandma Lan! We t just yesterday and ran into each other again today.” Ye Chenfeng said with a smile.
However, he was quite surprised by Lan Yuesheng and Hu Lan’s identities. Not only were they university professors, but they were also titans in the field of archeology, no wonder Xu Hanwen was showing off.
But thinking about how Lan Yuesheng and Hu Lan deciphered the characters on the Ancient Tomb Key, Ye Chenfeng was relieved, knowing they indeed possessed this capability.
“Haha, you’re here for the gala too! Well, we have a batch of treasures to look at – why don’t you join us, Little Ye? After chatting with you yesterday afternoon, I realized you know quite a bit about these things, which might be helpful today.” Lan Yuesheng said with a smile.
“Then I’ll gratefully accept your invitation to broaden my horizons!” Ye Chenfeng said with humble composure.
Lan Yuesheng and Hu Lan’s eyes showed admiration for Ye Chenfeng’s steadiness, their appreciation growing.
“This must be an important figure! Who would’ve thought such a well-hidden identity!”
“Incredible! I feel like he could directly challenge Young Master Xu!”
“Indeed, but he looks so unfamiliar. What could his identity be?”
…
The crowd’s curiosity about Ye Chenfeng’s identity deepened, with suspicions and guesses erging continuously.
Thus, Lan Yuesheng and Hu Lan invited Ye Chenfeng to the stage, and Xu Hanwen, clenching his fists, obviously couldn’t say a word against it.
Despite being the host of tonight’s gala, the key figures were Lan Yuesheng and Hu Lan, and everything had to go according to their wishes.
“Mr. Xu, you have an expert at your gala tonight. Let’s put it this way, Little Ye’s archeological knowledge is comparable to my students! If he pursued this field, I estimate he’d surpass us in a year or two!”
Lan Yuesheng highly praised Ye Chenfeng, recalling their conversation centered around archeology the previous afternoon, noticing Ye Chenfeng’s keen interest and exceptional insights in the subject.
“Oh? Really? That’s wonderful, we might rely on you tonight, Mr. Ye.” Xu Hanwen laughed.
In reality, he suppressed a surge of anger, as a prominent figure from the Xu Family, he now had to flatter a romantic rival he despised!
“Then let’s cut the chatter and get to the point, I’m also eager to see what treasures there are!” Ye Chenfeng expressed with anticipation.
“You…” Xu Hanwen was almost infuriated, but he abruptly switched his tone, “Mr. Ye, you’re right. Let’s get to the point and bring out the items!”
With Xu Hanwen’s command, a group of beautiful won in cheongsams brought out one treasure after another.
These cheongsam-clad won were stunning, and the treasures, placed on trays, were covered with red cloths.
Without knowing what was inside, the atmosphere was already dramatic, evoking a sense of being at an auction.
“Wow, with such fanfare, there must be quite a few good items inside!”
“Yes, let’s hope for so luck and buy one from Young Master Xu. That would be thrilling!”
…
The crowd focused intently on the treasures, so with eyes glinting eagerly.
