Shi Nuan nodded, “I don’t know much about antiques, so there’s no way I can pick out something good. Since you have some knowledge on this, could you help me out?”
“It’d be my honor!” Fu Chengyan said with a squint. “What are you thinking of getting Old Man Shi?”
“Hmm… Maybe a calligraphy painting. Anything else will do too. My grandpa is good at calligraphy. Oh, his interests are roughly similar to my maternal grandfather’s.”
Shi Nuan figured that saying this would give Fu Chengyan a better idea of her grandfather’s preferences.
As expected, Fu Chengyan nodded. “Zhou Zheng,” he summoned his assistant.
Very quickly, Zhou Zheng walked out and headed towards them, trying his best not to look at Shi Nuan. “How can I help, sir?”
“Have Mr. Qin bring out those antiques.”
“Sir…” Zhou Zheng looked at Fu Chengyan in surprise, then couldn’t help but glance over at Shi Nuan. Shi Nuan didn’t know what they were talking about, so she just gave Zhou Zheng a friendly smile.
The moment Fu Chengyan frowned, Zhou Zheng was so scared that he straightened up and shifted his gaze from Shi Nuan. “Alright, I’ll do it now!”
Zhou Zheng mumbled in his heart, These antiques had been kept for so long under his orders. They’re all pretty much the collections of famous artists! Yet, he’s asking for them to be shown to her now…
Zhou Zheng dared not make his boss wait. He immediately informed Mr. Qin and the staff about this. When he came back out, he saw Fu Chengyan and Shi Nuan casually leaning against the wall. “The preparations are complete, sir,” he said with a nervous look on his face.
Fu Chengyan nodded and beckoned Shi Nuan to follow him inside. “Come on in!”
