77 Luck
At 2 pm, everyone started to leave the manor.
Vivian’s trip this time was full of rewards. After becoming his disciple, she immediately called Leon and asked him to bring someone to help her buy books on antique appraisal.
Then, Vivian followed Fred back to the city while Andrew stayed to chat with his friends.
After returning to the hotel, Vivian began studying the antiques theory. After all, she could only learn about calligraphy and painting. She had to be fully prepared to meet George tonight.
At 7:30 in the evening.
Vivian and George met at a particular restaurant in the capital. Although Vivian had studied hard, in the eyes of an expert, it was easy to see Vivian’s lack of theoretical knowledge.
Vivian also admitted it generously and made fun of herself. “I can only talk a little more about calligraphy and painting. I know only a little about other aspects, so chatting with you would not be awkward.”
George smiled gently. “It’s not easy to learn in this industry. Besides, Ms. Vivian is still so young. There are always infinite possibilities when you’re young. The last time I saw you in Sage City, you didn’t know anything about Jade, but now you can make sense of it. Your comprehension and learning ability are both outstanding.”
When George mentioned Sage City, Vivian quietly diverted the topic. “I can’t always rely on luck. I have to learn some real skills.”
George nodded in agreement, and a meaningful smile appeared on his face. “Although you’re not interested in anything other than calligraphy and paintings, I happened to pass by you when you bought the wooden box yesterday. You have a good eye, young lady!”
Vivian could only smile at the things she had bought by cheating. “It’s all luck.”
George believed this explanation because he could not find a second explanation.
Novels these days were all traditional literature. Who would have thought there were such magical existences as transmigrating through books and having a cheat?
“Luck is also a type of strength. I can only say that you have a deep fate with this industry.”
Vivian nodded with a smile. It was a deep relationship, mainly with money.
Both of them intended to make friends, and after the meal, they had a good conversation and addressed each other more intimately. Vivian successfully got George’s contact information.
Before they left, Vivian took the initiative to say, “Sir, if you go to S City one day, please let me know. I’ll treat you well.”
“Sure, just don’t find me troublesome,” George laughed.
The two of them smiled as they bid each other farewell. On the other side, Leon was surprised to see the person he didn’t want to see the most.
As Vivian had an important dinner appointment, Leon decided to walk around the capital after dinner.
When Vivian returned from M City, she brought some special products to the factory staff. She would definitely buy them this time.
Leon’s heart ached for Vivian, who was busy with work every day and had to take time to buy these gifts, so he wanted to share her burden as much as possible. Besides, he didn’t want to see Vivian picking things for others, even if she wasn’t picking them for anyone.
The black tea and chocolate in the capital were very famous. After asking the hotel’s front desk in advance, Leon went to the shop they recommended to place an order. He asked them to prepare the goods and send them directly to the hotel room door.
As soon as Leon turned around after paying, he saw an exquisite-looking man in a white shirt and black suit pants coming in from the door. He looked like a fresh graduate with a clean temperament.
However, in the blink of an eye, she saw him turn around and hug a 50-year-old woman wearing sunglasses and a floral dress. His face was full of eager smiles. “Baby, I specially asked about this before coming to Beijing. This chocolate shop’s brand is an old local shop. You will definitely like it!”
Leon quickly dodged to the side and continued observing through the glass window’s reflection.
The woman took off her sunglasses and glanced at the man. She put her sunglasses on the man’s lips. “I asked around before I came. Why are you so attentive? Don’t tell me you’re trying to please those women who already knew about it?”
The man looked at the woman with an aggrieved expression, his tone full of affection.
