Chapter 1357: Jill de Castei
In the afternoon of the following day, Jill de Castei called the Wen Family and expressed his regards to Old Mr. Wen. He even requested to meet Old Mr. Wen in person so as to discuss the exhibition of Puerile Phoenix in the museum.
Old Mr. Wen spoke to Jill de Castei politely and accepted his request. At the same time, he also expressed that he would be leaving the decision to Wen Xinya because Mo Yunyao had specially designed Puerile Phoenix for her. Hence, Wen Xinya would be the one meeting him.
Jill de Castei was extremely pleased with Old Mr. Wen’s answer. He naturally knew that Wen Xinya was extremely talented in jewelry design because she had already made several outstanding achievements despite her young age. He had been paying attention to Wen Xinya’s performance in various jewelry design compet.i.tions, as well as her jewelry designs, all of which he greatly admired.
He was satisfied with the phone call.
“These are some personal pieces of information about Jill de Castei. I’ve only managed to find these, but it should be enough,” said Liu Yanhua, who was highly efficient in finding out about Jill de Castei. Ever since she heard about his arrival, she had already begun investigating and even managed to find detailed information.
Wen Xinya grabbed it and gave Liu Yanhua a thumbs up. “Well done!”
Since her ankle sprain had already healed completely, she no longer had to stay at home to nurse her injury. Si Yiyan officially sent Liu Yanhua to be her bodyguard.
For the past few years, Liu Yanhua had been sent for various training by Si Yiyan and was better equipped than before. Hence, Si Yiyan felt safer about it.
Of course, Si Yiyan had also been sending his subordinates to protect Wen Xinya in secret, though she had no idea where they were hiding.
Liu Yanhua smiled and said, “Ninth Young Master has arranged some subordinates to a.s.sist me. A small matter like this is a piece of cake.”
Although the subordinates were sent to a.s.sist her, Liu Yanhua was well aware that they were tasked to protect Wen Xinya and get rid of all the obstacles in her way.
“When did this happen?” Wen Xinya asked, though she understood Si Yiyan’s intentions. Although it had been several years since she returned to the Wen Family and had secretly nurtured some subordinates for her own, her network of connections was still not as broad as Si Yiyan’s. Ever since she found out about the Korean-Chinese Alliance, she rarely engaged detective agencies to help her out. Instead, she would get Si Yiyan to do the investigation.
To her surprise, Si Yiyan actually arranged some subordinates to a.s.sist her.
Liu Yanhua smiled and said, “Ninth Young Master made those arrangements ever since he sent me to help you. However, you didn’t need them back then because you weren’t in such a dangerous predicament.”
Wen Xinya was actually very touched by Si Yiyan’s efforts because he would often do a lot for her without her knowledge. She flipped through the information that Liu Yanhua had found and asked, “Sis Yanhua, you’ve lived in France for several years before. Have you ever heard of Jill de Castei?”
Liu Yanhua once stayed in France for almost three years because she was pursuing an education at Dove Inst.i.tute. The de Casteis were influential French aristocrats who also commanded great respect in the French Vogue International Jewelry a.s.sociation.
“I’ve heard quite a bit about him before. He’s an esteemed and reputable person in France,” said Liu Yanhua, who often heard others discussing about Jill de Castei when she was in Dove Inst.i.tute.
Wen Xinya asked curiously, “What kind of a person do you think Jill de Castei is?”
Wen Xinya took Jill de Castei and their meeting very seriously. Hence, she felt the need to find out more about him.
Although the European aristocrats no longer enjoyed as much attention as they used to, they had a rich history and foundation. They would also handle things in an unpredictable manner.
Although their formalities were no longer as complicated as they used to be, the Chinese often placed emphasis on etiquette. The European aristocrats were much more straightforward and would never tolerate any misconduct.
Hence, it was very important for her to find out more about him and make preparations before meeting him.
“Mr. Jill de Castei is one of the extended relatives of the de Castei family and he’s a jewelry design educator under the French Vogue International Jewelry a.s.sociation. He’s also a renowned jewelry designer and holds a high position in the a.s.sociation. He’s also a cla.s.sic Frenchman who’s elegant, pure, refined and pa.s.sionate, just like the meanings represented by the colors of their country’s flag.”
Liu Yanhua was just giving her some information based on her knowledge of Jill de Castei after the investigation.
Seemingly sensing that her words did not provide any constructive value to Wen Xinya, Liu Yanhua gave it some thought before saying, “I heard that he’s a mild-mannered and softspoken gentleman who treats women well.”
Wen Xinya burst into laughter. Although Europeans were known for their bad temper, the French were an exception. France was known to be a country of romance. Hence, Liu Yanhua’s words were rather useful for her.
Wen Xinya skimmed through the information before saying, “Seems like the French Vogue International Jewelry a.s.sociation takes this matter very seriously. Not only are they sincere, but they’ve also made appropriate arrangements too. Seems like the invitation isn’t that simple.”
Wen Xinya knew that they were being sincere out of respect for Mo Yunyao and not the Wen Family. She felt rather proud of her mother for being able to command so much respect from the French Vogue Jewelry a.s.sociation.
Liu Yanhua said, “Jill de Castei once stayed in China for almost five years. Hence, he’s proficient in Chinese and has a special spot for China in his heart. I think it wouldn’t be too difficult for you to communicate with him tomorrow.”
Wen Xinya closed the doc.u.ment and said smilingly, “That may be the case, but the Chinese place great emphasis on returning favors and treating others with equal respect. We have to be sincere too.”
Hence, she had to be conscientious and make sure not to make any mistakes during the meeting.
