Chapter 39 Preparing for the Summer Auction

  Guo Yu is now thoroughly enjoying his romance with Huang Wenjing, he knows this is different from Hu Yunyuan and Wu Xiaoni in the Republic of China era. In the Republic of China era, he always had a feeling of unreality, he felt that he was just playing a game there, he could be unscrupulous, he could do as he pleased, he didn't care about anyone, deep down in his heart, not even Britain, America, Germany and France, these world powers, were feared by him, if he couldn't beat them, there would always be other ways.

  But this space-time is his home, he must carefully maintain it and not dare to do anything that might disrupt his life, so all along he has been slowing down his speed, not wanting to expose himself, and in the future too, he can get rich and famous, but absolutely cannot be strange or crazy, because there are his family and loved ones here.

  He was very certain that he liked Huang Wenjing very much. Huang Wenjing's gentle personality, knowledge and attitude towards him made him love her so much that he couldn't let go of her. He would do his best to protect her and make her live a simple and happy life.

  The next day, Guo Yu came to the company and should pay attention to his own auction house. He had been out for a month, and Xia Pai estimated that the preparations were almost ready.

  Drinking tea brought by his secretary, he chatted with Zhang Chong in the office, getting an update on the recent situation.

  "The summer auction is being prepared, it's estimated to be about twenty days away, and we're currently preparing for the promotion. This time, we're having a special session for European art pieces, so we've been promoting in both Hong Kong and Europe. It seems like there are some effects already, according to feedback from people below, many are paying attention, after all, the European art market has been very hot these past few years." Zhang Chong said, visibly delighted.

  "I want to increase our popularity, I thought of a way, can you advise me if it's feasible?" After finishing speaking, Guo Yu took out a large box from the rest room and opened it, revealing an item inside.

  "My god, where did you get this from? This is a great thing. Are you going to sell it off again?" Zhang Chong immediately stood up and got excited when he saw what Guo Yu took out.

  Zhang Chong looked around carefully and said: "The bronze animal heads from the Summer Palace, this is a very sensitive topic domestically right now, are you really going to auction them off?"

  Guo Yu also knew that some people in the country said this thing was worthless, at least not worth auctioning for so much money. In a recent auction, He Hongsen bought it for over 60 million and gave it to the state. People say this is a conspiracy of Europeans, just to arouse the national protection thoughts of our own cultural relics, intentionally raising the price to sell to China. But they couldn't just watch it continue to stay overseas, these European guys are really annoying.

  "I plan to donate it, you contact the domestic side, and when the time comes, I will prepare to donate it to the country through auction, which can promote patriotism and contribute to the protection of national cultural relics." Guo Yu said.

  "You decide for yourself, I have no way to give you a decision. After all, if this dragon head is auctioned off, it's worth 60-70 million without a problem." Zhang Chong touched the dragon head with his hand, he planned to take advantage of the opportunity to touch it now, later it would be very difficult to touch again, even when it was exhibited in the country, the exhibition hall wouldn't let people touch it.

  "You go and publicize it now, make a big deal out of this matter. Later on, I'll personally sell him off, you and I will both go on stage together, our brother will also gain some fame." Gu Yu is now thinking about how to reasonably create a good reputation for himself.

  "Alright, I'll take care of it. It's going to be a sensation when the time comes." Zhang Chong agreed and then walked away with the large bronze dragon head.

  It's almost done here, let's run to 1915 to take a look. The camp is under construction and everyone is busy. Guo Yu brings several people in charge to check the progress and solve the problems encountered. Time passes by in a flurry of activity.

  These days, Guo Yu has been running back and forth very frequently. Sometimes he stays on this side for half a day and then goes to the other side for half a day. He crosses back and forth at any time, taking care of both sides.

  After being busy for several days, when Guo Yu went home for dinner in the evening, he told his parents that he wanted to bring his girlfriend home to meet them.

  Mom said: "I've been waiting for you to say that, Miss Huang is really nice."

  "How did you know, mom?" Guo Yu wondered.

  "Xiao Tian told me that he has mentioned it to you many times, saying that you are now infatuated with his teacher and even sent flowers to the school for them. Xiao Tian also said that their teacher Huang is a very good person, not only beautiful but also of good character, never losing her temper with students," Mom said.

  "You little stinker, still tattling on your old man, you've become a little spy." Gu Yu rubbed his son's head who was sitting beside him.

  The son said: "You finding a girlfriend has a great relationship with me, should I consider my own happiness?"

  The son finished speaking and everyone at the table laughed. Nowadays, kids are small in stature but big in spirit.

  The next day was a weekend, and they made an appointment to bring Huang Wenjing home for dinner. Guo Yu drove to pick up Huang Wenjing.

  Arrived at the Huang's house, had tea and chatted with Uncle Huang for a while. Today, Guo Yu finally entered the house, usually he would just pick up or drop off outside the main gate. Today, he was going to take Huang Wenjing back to his own home, so according to etiquette, he came in to invite her.

  Huang's uncle was very talkative and had a good impression of Guo Yu, although Guo Yu had been divorced, but in the eyes of these people it was not a problem at all. The two chatted very well and soon saw Huang Wenjing walking down from upstairs.

  A pale yellow long dress, with snow-white arms and neck exposed, very light makeup, but even more set off that kind of out-of-the-world aura, but the face indeed shows some tense expression.

  Guo Yu pulled her hand forward and bid farewell to Huang's father, then walked out. Huang Wenjing took two steps back and looked at her father, feeling even more tense.

  Huang Fu stood there motionless and said to Huang Wenjing: "Go ahead, don't be nervous, have fun."

  On the car, Huang Wenjing was still nervous with her hands clenched together. Gu Yu drove for a while, stopped the car by the side of the road, gently held Huang Wenjing in his arms, slowly stroked her back and said: "My parents are very good people to get along with, you're so familiar with them too, there's no need to be nervous, look at you today, you're even more beautiful than a big star, what's not confident about that? You just have to remember I like you, I love you, isn't that enough?"

  A pile of sweet words was thrown over, finally relieving Huang Wenjing's tension. In the end, Huang Wenjing calmed down after a kiss.

  Dinner went smoothly, parents were delighted, the son was excited, and everyone had a great time. After the parents took their son out for a walk, they finally calmed down.

  Guo Yu pulled Huang Wenjing to the second floor bedroom, hugging her on the sofa by the floor-to-ceiling window and whispering to each other. It was only then that Huang Wenjing finally put her heart at ease. The two of them hugged each other, gazing out at the night view of Victoria Harbour, taking in the dazzling lights of Hong Kong's nightscape, which left one deeply enchanted.
