"Mr. Falui, do you have time?"
"Mr. Chen, I'm busy right now." Falui Lysander rejected Chen Zhao's invitation without hesitation.
No matter what Chen Zhao wanted him to do, he didn't want to have anything to do with Chen Zhao anymore. After this cooperation ended, they would have nothing to do with each other.
"If Mr. Falui has time, you can come and get the check you left with me last time."
"…"
Falui Lysander opened his mouth.
In the end, he didn't reject Chen Zhao.
Sometimes, things were like this.
Dignity couldn't beat reality.
Now, he was faced with such a choice.
Plus, it was an easy choice.
Dignity was very important, but compared to money, it was dispensable.
"When?"
"Now."
"Wait a moment. I'll hand over my work."
A moment later, Falui Lysander came to Chen Zhao's manor again.
It wasn't his first time here, but he still couldn't help but exclaim every time he saw the manor's panoramic view.
However, Falui Lysander didn't like coming here.
Because when he saw this manor, he felt like a poor man.
"Mr. Chen, hello."
He saw Chen Zhao again.
There wasn't the same tension as last time.
Chen Zhao didn't give him any face either.
Plus, Chen Zhao was the one who begged him to come.
"Hello, please sit … Would you like something to drink?"
"No, thank you. Let's talk business first. Mr. Chen, why did you call me here?"
Chen Zhao took out a piece of Xuan paper that he'd copied.
"Look at the symbols on it … Maybe they're words. Can you help me identify which civilization these symbols come from? Or do they represent some kind of message? "
Falui Lysander picked up the paper and looked at it.
"It's unfamiliar, but there's a pattern to these symbols. Mr. Chen, where did they come from?"
"A friend gave me something. I copied it from that thing."
Chen Zhao looked at Falui Lysander. "Can you see the pattern?"
"I'm not an expert. Even if I was, I'd need some time to analyze. Plus, Mr. Chen provided too little information. It's hard to judge." Falui Lysander shrugged. "For example, Oracle bone inscriptions. More than eight hundred characters have been unearthed and discovered. This is enough to build a common vocabulary for a language system. However, less than a third of Oracle bone inscriptions have been translated. I'm afraid you can't even tell the most basic information from the things you provided."
"Is there any way to determine the origin of these things? Haven't there been similar things in history? "
"No. If Mr. Chen has discovered any relevant relics, I suggest that you keep them. Once the archaeologists make a major discovery, the value of the items in Mr. Chen's hands will skyrocket by a hundred or even a thousand times."
"Is there anyone in the archaeological world who can decipher the contents of these runes for me? Any price will do. "
"Recently, Mr. Xi Lai Wenger happened to be in Los Angeles for an archaeological conference. He is the chairman of the World Archaeological Union and the most famous archaeologist. Although he has retired, his vision and knowledge are obvious to all. If there is only one person in this world who can give you the answer, it must be him."
Archaeological Union? They were probably a group of people who dug up ancestral graves.
Chen Zhao cursed inwardly, but he still showed enough respect verbally.
"Can you invite Mr. Xi Lai Wenger here?"
"This … He rarely participates in archaeological research and exploration these days. He is now committed to promoting the Archaeological Alliance and getting more people and groups to join them."
Chen Zhao quickly took out his checkbook. Then, he wrote a cheque and handed it to Falui Lysander.
Faluy Lysander glanced at the number on the cheque.
It's not a small amount, but it doesn't seem to be enough to invite Mr. Wenger.
"This is for you." Chen Zhao said. "This is for Mr. Wenger. Of course, if he agrees, I can also sponsor some funds for the Archaeological Alliance."
Faluy Lysander sucked in a breath of cold air. This guy was really generous.
The number on the cheque was equivalent to his own wealth.
Falui Lysander suddenly regretted not studying archaeology in the beginning.
The shadow of the tree. Just hearing the name of the person in the tree, Falui Lysander took out half of his life's wealth to invite the person.
How can I reason with him?
But Falui Lysander clearly didn't plan to reject.
After all, Chen Zhao's cheque was also a large sum of money.
A sum that was enough to move his heart.
Of course, Falui Lysander didn't think that Xi Lai Wenger would reject.
Xi Lai Wenger's academics were indeed respected by the archaeological world.
However, he was just an ordinary person. He wasn't someone who had no desires.
Therefore, Falui Lysander was sure that Xi Lai Wenger would definitely accept Chen Zhao's invitation.
"Mr. Chen, when are you free?"
"When can you invite Xi Lai Wenger over?"
"I don't think it's a problem," Falui Lysander said confidently.
He had interacted with Xi Lai Wenger before.
Although the old man looked gentle and refined, he did not dare to provoke him.
However, he didn't have a scholarly temperament at all.
In the past few years, he'd been in the news with at least ten women.
No one would object to calling him an old hooligan in the archaeological world.
Of course, he wasn't in the entertainment industry.
As long as it wasn't a sex crime, no one would care about his personal style.
Therefore, no one would criticize his personal style.
He'd been involved in scandals with his assistant, students, parents, and even celebrities.
To deal with his romantic luck, he'd spent a lot.
"If he wants to attack, Mr. Wenger should be able to find the time at any time."
"Tomorrow afternoon then."
"Oh, there's something that Mr. Chen should prepare."
"What is it?"
"If Mr. Chen plans to meet Mr. Xi Lai Wenger at home, it's best to ask the women at home to leave."
"What? He's prejudiced against women? "
"No … He's just too passionate toward women, especially young and beautiful ones."
"Okay, I understand."
American society was so open.
Chen Zhao had seen all kinds of people.
Even a super director like Steven, who seemed great and pure in the eyes of outsiders.
He was also very knowledgeable about women. Many female stars in Hollywood had relationships with him.
From A-list to B-list, there were more than two digits.
Therefore, Chen Zhao wasn't surprised at all.
