From Wage Slave to Tycoon novel Chapter 341

Chapter 341: Chapter 193: I Like This Meeting Gift

Arthur nodded, gesturing for Su Chen to proceed.

Su Chen took the two exquisite gift boxes and examined them. They were rectangular, only about two or three centimeters high—hardly large enough to hold anything substantial.

After a moment of thought, Su Chen still couldn’t guess what was inside. With a flick of his finger, he unfastened the clasp on one of the boxes.

The moment he opened the box, Su Chen saw a slightly tattered, silk-like material lying inside, covered in numerous characters.

Su Chen could immediately tell the script had a distinct Eastern style, but he couldn’t quite place the era. He wasn’t an expert in this field, after all.

Just as Su Chen was wondering, a soft gasp came from beside him. "The Chu Silk Manuscripts?!"

The speaker was none other than Su Chen’s butler, Jiang Hui.

Su Chen turned to Jiang Hui and pointed at the two boxes. "Old Jiang, you know what this is?"

Jiang Hui shot a subtle glance at Arthur before nodding at Su Chen.

This was no bluff on Jiang Hui’s part. A top-tier butler serving an elite family must not only master the art of service but also be well-versed in areas like antiques, literature, and musical instruments.

"The story behind these is a bit complicated. I can explain it in detail to you later, sir," Jiang Hui said with a small nod.

Su Chen didn’t mind either way. He was just about to ask Jiang Hui to put the boxes away when Arthur, who was sitting across from him, spoke up.

"Mr. Su, I’m quite curious about this myself. Would it be too much trouble to ask your butler to share the story with us?"

The two boxes had been a last-minute idea. He felt he had to give Su Chen a gift for their first meeting, so he’d instructed his secretary, Fleur, to find some artifacts from Huaxia to serve as one.

For the Morgan family, this was a simple task. Within just two hours, they had found several items—either bronzeware or various types of porcelain—but they were all quite large and not easily portable.

Only the Chu Silk Manuscripts were portable enough. Arthur immediately decided they would be the gift.

He had also caught the implication in Jiang Hui’s words; it seemed there was an interesting story attached to these Chu Silk Manuscripts.

"Er..." Jiang Hui could only cast a pleading glance at Su Chen. He really didn’t want to talk about the Chu Silk Manuscripts, afraid the story would disrupt the otherwise harmonious atmosphere.

Su Chen didn’t notice the change in Jiang Hui’s expression. Instead, he smiled and said, "Go ahead and tell us, Old Jiang. I’m curious too."
