Chapter 500 People Don't Care About Money
Wu Qian's words amused Kukes enough, Hao Xuan couldn't hold back his smile, and quickly turned his head to look elsewhere, pretending to look around for vigilance.

Just when Kux turned his head and looked away, he actually found a suspicious thing.

Next to the curtains of a huge floor-to-ceiling window, there is a cleaner who is cleaning. Cleaning at this time is not unobtrusive.

In order to ensure that every distinguished guest enters the Louvre, the ground is clean and tidy, and they are doing cleaning work all the time, but the status of the cleaners is so humble that many people ignore their existence.

The cleaning wasn't surprising, what was odd was that the cleaner was staring at Wu Qian before Cooks looked at him.

If it wasn't for Kuks turning his head unexpectedly, I don't know how long he would have to observe.

Kux could clearly notice that when the cleaner was discovered by him, there was a momentary panic, and the gesture of turning his head to avoid his eyes was very unnatural.

It stands to reason that it is normal for cleaners to look at rich people. After all, the clothes of BOSS are the salary of cleaners for a year or two. It is nothing to appreciate. If you are open-minded, there is no need to panic.

Just before entering the door, so many people stared at his BOSS, a little rude, but there was only jealousy and envy in their eyes, and there was no panic.

Since panic, it must mean that there is a ghost in the heart.

Kux frowned, and instantly turned on the alert value to the maximum.

It's not that the Louvre has never had a theft. There are many theories about the most famous "Mona Lisa's Smile" theft. One of them is that a cleaner who sneaked into the Louvre hid in the storage room after work. The painting room, and then waited for the dead of night to steal the famous paintings.

Cooks judged that the sneaky cleaner was likely to take advantage of the ball and planned to steal a famous painting, but he did not rule out that the other party might do something that endangered the distinguished guests.

"The security work at the Louvre is really bad!" Cooks complained in his heart.

Wu Qian and Martinez, even Rosalind didn't notice the cleaner, they were still chatting.

Wu Qian's words made Martinez very embarrassed, because Wu Qian said what he wanted to say before him...

At the same time, Martinez admired the young man in front of him very much. He could see through his intentions just by meeting him.

"Mr. Wu is really humorous, haha."

"I can't decide to sell the collections of the Louvre. It's a pity. Otherwise, it doesn't matter if I give Mr. Wu a few paintings."

"Uh... Although I can't make the decision to sell it, I have a lot of say in the matter of buying artworks to increase the museum's collection. If Mr. Wu has a collection and wants to exchange it for cash, I can give a good price."

"For example, the painting by Sandro Botticelli in your hand..."

Martinez's goal is this painting, he has to work hard no matter what, what if it succeeds?

Nothing unexpected happened, Wu Qian shook his head with a smile, and said: "Mr. Martinez, since you know that painting, you must know the price I paid for that painting. Do you think the Louvre will be willing to spend hundreds of millions of pounds for it?" Do you want to buy it?"

"I don't think so. Mr. Martinez, and my friends are waiting for me upstairs, why not—"

Wu Qian understood what the enthusiastic Martinez was going to do, so he didn't bother to be polite.

"Oh, it turns out that Mr. Wu has an important meeting. I'm really sorry to bother you for so long, please."

Martinez turned sideways and raised his arms in a gesture of invitation.

Although the acquisition of famous paintings failed, the relationship cannot be frozen. What if Wu Qian changes his mind in the future?

Wu Qian cupped his fists at Martinez with the etiquette of the Celestial Dynasty, and walked past.

Cooks wanted to remind Martinez, but when he looked at the previous window again, he found that the previous cleaner had disappeared.

Martinez looked at the back of Wu Qian's leaving, and curled his lips secretly. The offer of 800 million euros did not even have a chance to say it, which made him very sad.

Before, he learned through industry channels that the British Museum offered Wu Qian a price of 400 million pounds for Botticelli's paintings. He thought the price of 800 million euros was very competitive. He never thought that he would even have the chance to compete nothing.

They didn't care about money, so they offered sky-high prices and refused.

Both sides of the promenade on the first floor were covered with famous paintings, but these famous paintings couldn't stop Wu Qian at all, he walked straight towards the stairs.

The central hall on the second floor looks very open and spacious, and the paintings on the walls are obviously much sparser than those on the first floor. This arrangement is mainly because the paintings hanging on the second floor are more exciting, and many tourists often stop to appreciate them.

But at this moment, there are only two groups of people in the entire lobby on the second floor, um, not counting the security personnel of the Louvre.

One group was Lapo Elkann and his bodyguards standing opposite the "Mona Lisa Smile" protected by a glass cover, and there was an old man who was about seventy years old.

The old man had problems with his legs and feet. He was sitting in a wheelchair staring at the painting "Liberty Leading the People" by Eugène Delacroix. Beside him were medical staff, assistants and a bodyguard carrying a medical kit.

Labo Elkann heard footsteps at the door, he looked sideways, smiled and opened his arms to welcome Wu Qian, and said, "My friend, are you lost in the Louvre?"

Although Rapo Elkann's voice was not loud, it still attracted the attention of another group of people. The old man in the wheelchair looked away from the painting and looked at the people coming.

The assistant next to the old man immediately informed the old man of Wu Qian's basic information. The old man looked at Wu Qian thoughtfully for a while, and then turned his attention to "Freedom Leading the People".

Wu Qian and Lapo Elkann hugged and said, "I met Director Martinez on the first floor and chatted for a while."

"My God, Wu, your outfit today...is it too formal?"

It wasn't until Labo Elkann got closer that he realized that Wu Qian's dress today was extremely sophisticated, which was completely different from Wu Qian in his impression. "I have accepted an errand, and I want to be a guard knight." Wu Qian said with a smile.

"Oh, are you the new guard knight that the Sergei family found for Krasha?"

Rapo Elkann had apparently heard a little about the incident, but didn't know the details inside.

Wu Qian nodded with a smile.

"It's good to be young, I have never enjoyed this kind of treatment in my life..." Rapo Elkann said with emotion.

"Wu, let me tell you, Clara's appearance and temperament can definitely be ranked in the top three among the ladies attending the meeting, but the Sergey family..."

He didn't deny Krasha's beauty, but regarding the situation of the Sergei family, he could only pouted and shook his head.
