"Mr. Zamani, of course, I got faults too. But I'm not here for myself today. I'm here for the Williams Group. You know that Mr. Williams wants to buy the piece of land in the west of the city that belongs to the Zamani Family. Now that Mr. Zamani Junior and Mr. Williams have some unnecessary conflicts because of me, I wonder if I can ask you to make the decision. When selling that piece of land, could you give priority to the Williams Group?"
Henry looked at the little girl in front of him. She thought about it well before doing things. She went to the Zamani Family in advance to ask for Alice's forgiveness. She spoke directly and to the point. She was indeed Terence's granddaughter. They had a similar temper. It was a pity for her to be a secretary at the Williams Group. It was all because of Terence's early death that the business fell into the hands of his son-in-law, and it began to decline.
Henry picked up the teacup and glanced at the teacup in front of Jessica. She had not touched it yet. "Have some tea first."
He didn't expect Jessica to come to see him for the Williams Group. When Sally first told him that she was the granddaughter of Terence, he guessed that she wanted something from the company, but he didn't expect it to be for the land in the west of the city.
This piece of land was all ready to be sold. It was all his underlings who had invested recklessly, causing the Zamani Group he founded to suffer a heavy blow and he had to sell land to recoup the financial loss.
However, this was a good opportunity never seen before with which he could ask the Williams Group to help the Zamani Group. Before, because he was too angry, he scolded Oliver in front of Jeff. But no matter how Jeff disliked this grandson, Oliver was still representing the Williams Family. Scolding Oliver was equivalent to scolding the Williams Family. Even if he could prioritize the Williams Group in the selling of the land, he needed the Williams Group to be grateful to the Zamani Family and beg them for that.
After all, Jessica was young and a little restless. She was not in the mood for tea.
Henry smiled and said, "Little girl, I once owed your grandfather a favor. I will consider your thoughts. I am not an ungrateful person."
Only then did Jessica show a half-smile. "Mr. Zamani, I don't mean anything else."
"Don't worry, little girl. I remember you drew paintings when you were a child. Are you interested in my collections?"
"Sure. Thank you, Mr. Zamani, for letting me have the honor of visiting your collection."
Henry asked the servant to find Sally and went upstairs to the collection room together.
As soon as Jessica went in, she saw a variety of antiques and paintings inside. There was a familiar illusion: her grandpa used to like to collect these. Later, her grandpa's collection was transferred by Jason. She didn't know how they were dealt with.
Henry, on the other hand, was very willing to share them. He specifically asked the servants to take out several original paintings of flowers and birds from the Song Dynasty from his collection and a painting of a green landscape. "Apart from the museum, these paintings are only available here. They are not available on the market at all."
Jessica loved to draw flowers and birds in the style of the Song Dynasty the most. When she studied, she used to refer to printed paintings. Now that she saw the original paintings in front of her, she was so excited that her hands trembled a little.
The original paintings looked very old, and even the cracks on the silk paper were a vivid language of the times.
The collection conditions here were already top-notch, where the appropriate temperature and humidity were maintained, but the work still showed signs of continuing to age.
Now there was a very advanced watermark technology, which could print works very similar to the original ones, but no matter how good the print was, it was far from being as good as the original ones.
Jessica and Sally couldn't help but sigh. "It's so beautiful."
