Chapter 823: Chapter 819: The Wife Chases After

Qiao Zhenhuan felt that as a top student who returned from overseas, having to host a little girl who looked under twenty was absolutely overqualified and a waste of talent.

Because he was upset, Qiao Zhenhuan made a scene, but he never expected that Huo Sining was not an empty-headed fool; she instantly crushed him.

Now Huo Sining suggested that he work in her shop. Qiao Zhenhuan naturally was not too happy about it. A joke, right? He was a PhD from FGA, a top overseas graduate, and now he had to be a worker in a small antique shop? How could he be willing?

Qiao Zhenhuan’s inner turmoil was naturally apparent on his face.

Huo Sining also knew Qiao Zhenhuan was unwilling and was impatient to serve such an arrogant person. She was about to speak and move on, but Director Bai suddenly spoke:

"A bet is a bet. Since Zhenhuan proposed the bet, he must fulfill it. Don’t worry, Miss Huo, I’ll make sure of it. I’ll have Zhenhuan complete the resignation process later; it should be all settled within a week. By then, I’ll ensure he contacts you."

What? When Qiao Zhenhuan heard his uncle’s words, his eyes widened instantly, flashed with anger and resentment.

When did he say he wanted to quit? A shabby shop opened by a little girl wanting him to hold the fort? Why?!

Qiao Zhenhuan’s face twisted immediately, almost cursing in front of Director Bai.

Unfortunately for him, Director Bai completely ignored him, directly took out his phone, called the HR department, and dismissed Qiao Zhenhuan from his position. After doing all this, Director Bai calmly told Qiao Zhenhuan, "Just submit your resignation report to me in a while, and that’s that!"

After today’s events, Director Bai realized that although his nephew was intelligent, having intelligence alone wasn’t enough in the antique business; Zhenhuan lacked many social skills.

Having never faced hardship, and with Director Bai always covering for him, Qiao Zhenhuan’s path had been too smooth, making him lose himself, arrogant and prideful, forgetting who he was.

Compared to Huo Sining, Qiao Zhenhuan was still far behind. Thus, Director Bai wanted to temper him, letting him experience relying only on himself, so he wouldn’t become too proud over small achievements.

Huo Sining certainly understood Director Bai’s intentions. The old man wanted to use her to teach his nephew a lesson. However, Huo Sining didn’t refuse.

The antique shop at Liulichang was set up pretty well by Li Quan. But since Li Quan himself was a halfway monk with limited knowledge, Huo Sining was worried about a shortage of staff and wanted to find an appraiser to help Li Quan. Now with a talent delivered to her doorstep, she couldn’t ask for more.

A PhD from FGA who returned from overseas couldn’t be too bad in appraising. Such a person would be a sought-after talent in the country.

However, Qiao Zhenhuan’s arrogance and scheming didn’t assure Li Quan could handle him. Huo Sining felt that using Qiao Zhenhuan would require consideration. If he didn’t correct his crooked ways, he might cause problems in the future.

Of course, Huo Sining didn’t dwell on it too much. She just kept it in mind without planning to spend too much time on it. She could use Qiao Zhenhuan, but his importance to her depended on his own ability.

Huo Sining had already judged the authenticity of the Yue Kiln Porcelain Bowl. With the twist that followed, Director Bai’s last bit of doubt was dispelled. He wasn’t calm inside, but the item was switched, and now being anxious was no help.

Director Bai immediately notified the police station. Captain Wu previously handled the Taicheng Ancient Tomb case, so he naturally took over this case as well.

Though Huo Sining had no time to care about subsequent events, when she phoned Zhou Shitao to report the outcome, Zhou Shitao was very curious upon hearing the porcelain bowl was almost indistinguishable from the original. He immediately asked Director Bai to lend the bowl for inspection.

If the Yue Kiln Secret Color Porcelain had been genuine, Director Bai might have hesitated. But since it was fake, he didn’t mind lending it, even if it got smashed on the spot. So, Director Bai agreed without hesitation.

Huo Sining understood the situation. It seemed that even after finishing this matter, she couldn’t return to S City yet; she still had to deliver the bowl to her mentor in the Imperial Capital.

Rushing to the Imperial Capital again, Gu Xu had just arrived home and received a call from his wife right after stepping through the door. His wife had chased from Taicheng to the Imperial Capital.

Huo Sining’s words were that she came to the Imperial Capital for business. However, someone completely ignored those words, happily assuming his wife really missed him, having just parted in the morning and already following him by the afternoon.

Huo Sining had no idea what Gu Xu was thinking; otherwise, she’d be speechless at his overactive imagination.

Buying the earliest flight, Huo Sining stepped into the Imperial Capital again. Gu Xu hurriedly prepared to go out again before even eating dinner. When Mrs. Gu saw him changing clothes and heading to the vestibule, she was puzzled: "It’s nearly dinner time. Where are you going?"

Gu Xu laughed: "Ningning’s evening flight. I’m going to pick her up at the airport."

Mrs. Gu froze, thinking to herself, aren’t these two inseparable? Gu Xu had just spent two days in S City, even accompanying Huo Sining to Zhouzhuang. How could they meet again just half a day apart?

However, Mrs. Gu laughed, squinting eyes full of ambiguity, constantly winking at Gu Xu:

"With their relationship, am I going to be a great-grandmother soon? As the mother-in-law, you should prepare to marry that girl into the family early and have grandchildren soon!"

Mrs. Gu laughed, watching her son’s hasty back, silently nodding: "It should be planned soon. I’ll visit the Huang Family tomorrow to see their thoughts. Gu Xu isn’t young anymore. If we settle their matters early, I’ll feel at peace."

Huo Sining didn’t know that her rushed trip to the Imperial Capital caused such wild imaginations, making them fantasize so much. Before boarding the plane, she called Qin Shaoyou explaining the situation because with school opening tomorrow and herself in the Imperial Capital, she feared she couldn’t register in time.
