Shancai Rebirth: My Choice

Shanlai felt that Kassell seemed to be making a big deal out of nothing. It was just an auction of a painting, why was he making it so mysterious?

"The ladies in the upper circles of Country M love these things very much, and there is a bigger market there. How did you think of asking me to help you auction them in Country K?" Shan Lai found it a little funny. Kassell was a million times better than her in calculating profits.

So she thought this painting should be extraordinary. "Tell me, which artist created it?"

Kassell seemed to be silent.

Shanlai thought he had hung up, so he tried to call out, "Kassell? Are you there?"

"Yes, I'm here." Another voice came from the other side.

Shanlai parked the car downstairs of Xiaoyou's house, rolled down the window and looked in. She should not have come out yet.

She continued to call Kassell.

"It's not a masterpiece, it's just a painting I copied casually," said Kassell.

Shan Lai was stunned.

A copied painting? Wouldn't it be possible to pass it off as a real one?

She knew Kassell's abilities, and of course she believed that the painting he said was "casually copied" must be the work of some master.

"You can ask me to help you with the auction, but let's make a deal, after I sell it off for you you have to paint a picture for me yourself." Shan Lai was still somewhat happy. Kassell's oil paintings were unique. He once copied a famous painting as an unknown little painter and sent it to the original painter of that painting.

The painter was stunned for a few seconds when he saw the painting, thinking that he had drawn an extra painting while sleepwalking at night. This incident was very popular in the United States at that time.

I can't say they are a bit similar, I can only say they are exactly the same.

"No problem." Kassell was very happy. All she had to do was agree and he would take care of the rest.

Auctioning the painting was secondary. What was important was that he needed to use this as an excuse to exchange for something he needed, such as money.

"What's the reserve price you plan to set for the auction?" Shan Lai continued to ask him.

"3100." Kassell's magnetic voice came again.

Shan Lai was even more stunned. She certainly understood what Kassell meant by 3100, but she didn't know what currency he wanted to use for the auction?

"US dollars." He said leisurely.

After saying these two words, he even happily took a sip of the red wine from the goblet beside him.

$3100 for a painting? That’s the reserve price.

Is it inlaid with gold or made directly from gold?

Shan Lai even felt that the price was too high. Not only did people think the starting price was outrageous during the auction, but even she felt it was outrageous when she heard Kassell say it now.

Apart from the big spectrum, which wealthy family would have so much money that it would be unthinkable to buy this painting?

She had also followed her parents to auctions of so-called famous paintings, and she had bid 2700 herself. However, that was already a price-added painting, and the price was not so outrageous!

"Don't worry about whether anyone will buy it. Someone will definitely buy it."

"You just need to help me put it up at the auction house in Country K that is specially opened for the dignitaries. Don't worry, I'll take care of everything." Kassell sounded like he was coaxing a child, and even softened his voice when he told her not to worry.

After hearing Kassell's assurance, Shan Lai felt relieved. Since he was the one who guaranteed it, she had nothing to worry about. "Okay, I'll deliver it for you. After the auction, you have to draw a picture for me. Don't cheat me." She gave him special instructions, fearing that Kassell would forget what he said.

"Well, what have I not done that I promised you since we were little?" Kassell laughed at her.

After listening to him for a while, Shan Lai understood what he meant. The value of this artwork depended on how much he wanted to get for it. As long as the transaction passed the production line, it would be fine.

She shouldn't have to worry about the rest.

The two talked about other things for a while. Xiaoyou knocked on her car window. Shanlai quickly said, "Brother Kassell, I have something to do here. Let's talk next time." Then he hung up the phone and opened the door for Xiaoyou.

The moment he hung up the phone, Kassell stared at her profile picture for a long time, "What a little girl, helping me without even asking me what I want to do, so stupid."

He reached out and took the photo frame next to him. It was a photo of three people before she returned to Country K. The girl in the photo was smiling happily. Kassell reached out and stroked her in the photo, "But I won't lie to you." The smile on Kassell's face was more sincere than anyone else's.

"Knock, knock, knock..." At this time someone knocked on the door.

After putting the photo frame away, Kassell leaned lazily on the chair and uttered two words expressionlessly, "Come in."

Shanlai opened the door for Xiaoyou, "You're downstairs, come here, I bought you something delicious." As she said that, she handed the pastries she had just bought to Xiaoyou.

"Excuse me, Princess." Xiaoyou was no longer surprised by her behavior. As long as she ate something delicious, she would bring it to her no matter how late it was.

"Let's go to my house. You may not have been to my manor yet." Shan Lai said as he started the car.

Xiao Youxian fed her a piece of cake before eating it himself, "This cake is delicious, Shanlai, you are really good at discovering delicacies." She loved the soft and sticky things.

"Yeah, it's really delicious." Shan Lai replied vaguely while eating the cake.

The two of them just ate cakes and chatted along the way. They both felt a little thirsty, so Shanlai parked the car next to a milk tea shop, and the two got out to buy milk tea together.

After telling the waiter what drinks they wanted, Shanlai and Xiaoyou sat there playing with their phones out of boredom.

Shan Lai originally wanted to look up to see if their milk tea was ready, but as soon as she looked up, a fair-skinned boy came into her sight. He looked like a high school student.

Her first impression was that he was very well behaved.

He looked very cute and spoke in a cute voice. He even said "thank you" when he took the fruit tea handed to him by the clerk.

Perhaps feeling her burning gaze, the boy looked at her and then lowered his head. His ears were red as if they were dripping with blood, and the tips of his ears were even redder.

Shanlai immediately became interested. Is there such a shy boy?

"Come here." Shan Lai supported his chin with his hand and waved at him with a smile.

The boy turned around and looked at the people next to him. It seemed that there was no one around him...

Finally, he pointed at himself uncertainly, "Are you calling me?"

"Yes, it's you." Shanlai said with a smile. This boy looked so stupid.

Xiaoyou also put down her phone at this time. She just sighed and shook her head when she saw the people around her teasing the handsome boy. If Senior Lei knew about this...
