nchanted she was, and she eventually clicked her tongue in wonder!

The man glanced at her and saw that she was looking in a specific direction, lost in thought.
Following her line of sight, he noticed the ancient-looking drawing scroll and knitted his eyebrows.

The manager led the waiters with the dishes into the room quickly.
Taking this opportunity, she turned to him and smiled.
“This painting on the wall is really beautiful!”

The latter was stunned at first, unable to make heads or tails of her remark, but following her line of sight to the painting, he understood what she was on about.
Immediately, his face displayed a delighted smile that he could not hide as he said, “He he! This painting isn’t only just beautiful, but the point is that it’s especially precious!”

She blinked her eyes confusedly, only to hear the manager continue with his explanation.
“He he! Do you know Gu Kaizhi from the Eastern Jin dynasty?”

She shook her head.

“He he! He was an extremely talented artist! This masterpiece was part of his admonitions scroll, so it’s an invaluable collector’s item!”

“This painting… is it from your collection?” she asked in surprise.

The manager shook his head in dismay and explained, “If it were mine, why would I still be working in this restaurant? He he! That’s a collector’s item belonging to an old friend of mine.
He’s just like me—an antique collector enthusiast—and he loves this rare gem! I heard that this painting was specially bought in England at a high price.
He’s a regular patron, so he lent me this drawing to boost this place’s reputation by hanging it in this room!”

This restaurant was not short of wealthy patrons, and many of them loved this painting.
There were some who had even asked to purchase this miracle work from Gu Kaizhi while quoting a high price.
