Chapter 38
“Ms. anna, this is your painting. Please keep it.”
The appraiser of the auction house did the appraisal work very quickly, and the painting was appraised in about 10 minutes.
Anna collected the paintings, and immediately the staff of the auction house led her and Philip Andrew to the side of the small meeting living room: “please wait a moment, you two, Vasati Bermin will come soon.”
Almost as soon as the voice fell, a slightly noisy voice came from outside.
Led by the manager of the auction house, Mr. Berminand his surbordinates entered the small meeting living room. Seeing the gray haired old man at the head, they were slightly surprised.
“Vasati Bermin , this is miss Stuat who took your picture of five horses.” The manager was making an introduction.
Mr. Bermin nodded.
Anna ‘s expression finally recovered at this time. She smiled at Mr. Bermin, nodded gently, and was about to stretch out her hand: “Hello, I didn’t expect… I will see you here again. ”
Before the words fell, a figure suddenly and quickly emerged from behind Vasati Bermin .
“Vasati Bermin , this is the Anna I told you!”
Selina was very excited. She couldn’t help being excited at the thought that Mr. Berminwould return the painting in the public.
So her voice becomes very loud.
Selina didn’t feel it. She looked at Anna with a slightly triumphant expression. Her chin was slightly raised, and her whole face was full of arrogance.
Although she dosen’t know why Selina was here, Anna didn’t pay much attention to Selina .
Her eyebrows were slightly raised, and her eyes had directly skipped Selina , and she came to Mr. Berminin three or two steps: “Hello, Mr. Bermin, I didn’t expect that we would meet here again.”
“I didn’t expect it.”Mr. Bermin extended his hand and politely shook Anna ‘s hand.
The atmosphere between them seemed to be too friendly. In addition, a somewhat old Mr. Bermin shook hands with an illegitimate girl. Selina keenly felt something was wrong.
“Vasati Bermin …”Selina opened her mouth, ready to remind this old man, , that you are facing an illegitimate daughter.
However, Mr. Bermin waved his hand and made a stop gesture.
He didn’t even give Selina a glance. He just looked at Anna , and his eyes gradually shifted to the painting in Anna ‘s hand: “miss Stuat, did you auction my picture of five horses?”
“Yes.”
“I’m very sorry, I can’t sell you this painting.”Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.
Hearing this, the manager of the auction house turned pale: “Vasati Bermin …”
Mr. Bermin shook his head, turned to the manager of the auction house, and said apologetically, “I’m very sorry, Manager Xanver, I have to take back this painting, and I can’t send it to your bank for auction.”
Mr. Berminis a master in the field of traditional Chinese painting and is well-known in the whole field of traditional Chinese painting. People at the auction house dare not offend him.
Manager Xanver is naturally unwilling to offend.
But if it has been auctioned out, he suddenly wants it back, which is against the rules.
If it’s just an ordinary auction winner, but Philip Andrew is standing behind Anna .
Manager Xanver immediately looked embarrassed: “Mr. Bermin, it’s really against the rules for you to take back the auction items that our auction house has never sold…”
“This is my fault.”Mr. Bermin thought for a moment, “if Manager Xanver needs it, I can take out another work and auction it in your bank, but this painting can’t.”
Manager Xanver’s expression was still embarrassed, and he turned to Anna : “but this…”
” manager!” At this time, a slightly sharp voice suddenly intervened.
Anna originally looked at the conversation between Manager Xanver and Mr. Berminwith a flat expression. At this moment, her eyebrows slightly jumped, and she turned to look at Selina .
She was very curious.
Aware that everyone’s eyes are converging towards her, Selina subconsciously straightened her shoulders.
“Manager Xanver, I think you’d better not embarrass Vasati Bermin .”
Manager Xanver, who has been in a high position for many years, and few people dare to interrupt him when he is talking.
His face sank, looking unhappy: “this lady…”
“I know what Manager Xanver is going to say.”Selina smiled. Even though she had tried her best to restrain, there was still a trace of complacency on her face.
She said, “Mr. Bermin has worked with your auction house so many times. You must know Mr. Bermin’s character, Manager Xanver.”
Seeing that Mr. Bermin and his assistant didn’t speak, Selina took herself as his spokesman and quietly flattered him as she spoke.
“Mr. Bermin is famous for his integrity, and this lady an in front of you, she is an illegitimate daughter. Selling Vasati Bermin ‘s paintings to her is not a stain on Vasati Bermin ‘s paintings?”
It turned out to be this.
Anna sneered in her heart.
Speaking of Mr. Bermin’s character, she also heard a little. If it hadn’t happened before, I’m afraid she might not be able to take this painting away smoothly today.
“I don’t know when it’s up to you to decide my painting.”
Anna originally wanted to say something, but when she looked up, she just looked at Vasati Bermin ‘s eyes.
Mr. Berminshook his head slightly at her, and then spoke directly.
Selina was stunned: “Vasati Bermin …”
Unfortunately, Mr. Bermin was obviously unwilling to talk to her. He just threw him a light and turned his eyes away to Manager Xanver.
“Manager Xanver, Ms. Stuact, is my benefactor. Since she likes my picture of five horses, I have no reason to charge her money to auction it to her.”
Manager Xanver’s mind didn’t turn around for a moment: “so you mean…”
“I will present this painting to Ms. Stuat in my own name. Of course, I will be responsible for all the losses caused to your bank. If your auction house needs it, I can take out another painting of mine and entrust it to your bank for auction.”
Selina , who was listening, almost doubted that her hearing was wrong.
“Vasati Bermin !” She wanted to say more, but by this time Manager Xanver’s patience had reached its limit.
He waved his hand and shouted to several security guards, “the auction house is not a place where you can make trouble. Please take this lady out!”
Although Manager Xanver said please, everyone understood what he meant, so several security guards were not polite and ignored Selina ‘s struggle, and directly drove her out of the auction house in the name of disturbing the order of the venue.
