The Chosen System: Counterattack with Husband

Hearing the knock on the door, Xu Yiyu, who walked into the box before the man, exchanged a knowing look with the four family heads who had already gathered in the box.

"come in."

Gu Liang cleared his throat and shouted something to the outside of the door in Mandarin.

Everyone in the box knew that the man outside the door was a British, so it was necessary to give him a warning by speaking Chinese, which he could not understand, so that he would not think that the Chinese were easy to bully.

David, who was outside the door, naturally heard the response from inside. He cursed the Chinese people for their cunningness in his heart, but still pushed the door open and walked in.

After he had negotiated with the four Chinese businessmen, he learned a few simple Chinese sentences on the Internet in advance. In addition to the fact that he could not fully trust the four businessmen, he also did not want to show weakness in front of them easily.

"Hello, Mr. David. The auction is going on right now. I wonder why you want to meet us old guys at this time?"

Wu Chen put on a friendly smile and asked David about his real purpose. His question made David, who was already unhappy, look even uglier.

"Mr. Wu, I entrusted my items to you for auction, but the auctioneer on the stage was so passive in auctioning these items. I would like to ask you for a reasonable explanation. It should not be too much, right?"

David understood the principle of not hitting a smiling person. Even though he knew that everyone in the box was pretending to be stupid, his tone when he made his request was still relatively polite.

"Of course it's not excessive. As the owner of these items, you naturally have the first right to dispose of them. This is a normal request, and we old guys naturally have no reason to refuse."

Ye Wen politely answered David's questions in very standard British. Although his words were polite, he did not mention a word about how to respond to David's request.

"Then please give me a suitable solution! The auction still needs to go on, and I am embarrassed to take up too much of your time."

Xu Yiyu sat quietly on the side, watching the confrontation between the two heads of the Ye and Wu families and the "seller" with an indifferent expression, and quickly analyzed his current mental state in his heart.

Although he seemed calm on the surface and even felt that he had absolute initiative, he didn't know that from the moment he knocked on the door and walked into the box, he had been completely passive.

In name, David was indeed the owner of the pair of Percival David vases on the stage, but he forgot a crucial fact - he was now in China, and the Percival David vases had already appeared in the public place of the auction. If he wanted to leave China with the pair of vases, it would not be something he could do alone.

The four family heads could simply keep him in China as a "guest" and then pretend to casually inform the top leaders in the sea. At that time, not only would he no longer be a guest of China, but according to Chinese law, he would no longer be the legal owner of these Chinese cultural relics.

"To be honest, Mr. David, before you came, the four family heads had already informed the auctioneer on the stage, but the guests in the audience did not have much enthusiasm for the two treasures you brought. Even if she wanted to adjust the atmosphere of the auction, it would not be so easy to do so."

Xu Yiyu saw that the time was right and took over the conversation directly. Although he gave David a solution, it was obvious that he did not get a satisfactory answer.

"Excuse me, young lady, but I don't know who you are, and I don't think you have the authority to speak on behalf of these gentlemen."

David originally wanted to refute Xu Yiyu's words, but on second thought, he used another way to express his protest and unwillingness to cooperate.

"We old guys neglected it. This is Ms. Xu Yiyu, the chairman and general manager of Tianyu Group. What she said can represent the thoughts of the four of us. I hope Mr. David doesn't mind that we didn't tell him in advance."

Zhou Fu's words startled David: Although he didn't know what kind of force in China this "Tianyu Group" Zhou Fu mentioned was, he could still hear the trust he had for the lady in the red dress in his words.

Xu Yiyu also understood the meaning of Zhou Fu's words - the four major families all expressed their support for her and gave her full authority to deal with the matter.

This is trust, but also a test. No matter what the purpose is, she must handle this matter properly this time.

"Then if Mr. Zhou says that this lady's statement can represent your views, I would like to ask, I did not see the auctioneer on the stage making any positive efforts, does this also represent you?"

Xu Yiyu raised his eyebrows slightly: Oh, he is going to put pressure on the four family heads in turn? Doesn't he understand the situation he is in now?

"Mr. David, the owners of the houses have no intention of being rude to you, and neither does the auctioneer on the stage. Shouldn't you also think about the fact that the reason why the vases did not arouse the enthusiasm of the guests below the stage is not because of the vases themselves, but because of other reasons?"

If it were any other situation, Xu Yiyu would never have a good face towards the thief in front of her who disguised himself in well-dressed clothes, but in order to ensure that the David vase could return to the embrace of China smoothly and safely, she had to find ways to be nice to this person.

"I wonder what Miss Xu thinks. I'd like to hear more."

In David's eyes, the pair of vases were just two cold objects. Apart from being able to exchange for benefits from the Chinese, he did not think they were precious or important.

Anyway, he stole more than just these two items from the museum, and since they couldn't be sold in China, he could just sell them to merchants from other countries. He believed that there was no way these two items would remain in his hands and he wouldn't be able to sell them.

"I would like to ask Mr. David a question. Where did you get the vases? And why did you ship them to China for auction?"

"What's the point of asking this question now, Miss Xu? After all, they are mine now, so I have the freedom to auction them off."

When David frowned and answered Xu Yiyu, the impatience in his tone was almost visible.

Why is this Chinese woman so difficult to deal with? Is it necessary for her to ask questions like those four profiteers?

"If the items belong to you, you naturally have the right to dispose of them freely. But if everyone knows that they belong to someone else, does that mean that the legitimacy of their origin is questionable? Anyone present who takes pictures of them will face legal risks?"

Xu Yiyu had no intention of letting go of this British thief who dared to resell Chinese cultural relics so arrogantly in the imperial capital, and his wording when answering his questions was much sharper.

"What nonsense! This pair of vases belongs to me. If you continue to be rude to me like you did just now, Miss Xu, I have the right to terminate their auction process in your country!"

David slammed the table threateningly, but found that no one in the box showed the panic expression he imagined. Instead, they looked at him as if he were a fool.

"I don't think you have the authority to do that."

Xu Yiyu smiled and responded to his threat in a resounding manner.
