"Mr. Yan, long time no see!"

The person who came was a tall middle-aged man with a big belly. His thick golden curly hair made him look like a rich lion king, and he walked vigorously.

Seeing someone coming, Yan Huaizuo returned to his usual appearance. Although it is not difficult to deal with, it certainly has nothing to do with amiability.

"Hello, Mr. Russell!" Yan Huaizuo shook hands with him and said hello.

"Who is this?"

Luo Su looked at Yan Fuguang with amazement in his eyes, he was definitely not the only one who was curious about this girl today.

The pride in Yan Huaizuo's tone couldn't be concealed at all, he introduced solemnly: "This is my daughter Yan Fuguang!"

"Yan Yan, this is Mr. Russell, a well-known art dealer in New York."

Yan Fuguang nodded slightly, "It's a pleasure to meet you."

Russell did not expect that the girl who amazed the audience was Yan Huaizuo's daughter, why had he never heard of it!

"Hello, Ms. Yan, you are so beautiful today! People say that Yan's paintings are the most beautiful, but in fact, Ms. Yan's most perfect works should be Ms. Yan!"

Today's occasion has basically no intersection with the academic field. It is normal for Russell not to know Yan Fuguang, but he speaks very directly, and appreciation is appreciation. Even if Yan Fuguang does not have high-end jewelery today, she is still the most dazzling pearl in the audience today.

When someone praised his sweetheart, the smile on Yan Huaizuo's face became much more obvious. These words spoke to his heart. The most beloved work in his life will always be Yan Fuguang.

Yan Huaizuo was so happy that he even joked with Russell: "It's useless no matter how nice your words are, I won't count the auction!"

Since Russell is the most well-known art dealer in New York City and even the entire East Coast, he must be representing a wealthy client who wants to take this painting "June to October".

Unless Yan Huaizuo withdrew the auction himself, Russell could only get what he wanted.

Russell laughed: "Of course, but if you are willing to cooperate with Lila Gallery, wouldn't you be able to make full decisions! The whole world knows that Yan's works will never be short of buyers!"

Coming to solicit business again, Yan Huai left with a smile on his face.

He has encountered countless such scenarios over the years, and it is because he does not want to deal with countless buyers that he has cooperated with Christie's for so many years.

Even though Russell is one of the most famous art dealers in the world, he doesn't want to cause trouble for himself.

Of course, Russell is not in a hurry, business is not concluded in a day, if Yan Huaizuo is so talkative, no one will be able to steal Christie's business after so many years, so Russell took the initiative to say goodbye and leave after a while.

It's just that Yan Fuguang didn't expect that she could also meet acquaintances here.

When Taylor Kaufman appeared in front of her, she suddenly remembered that this Holy Trinity school trustee seemed to be a famous collector.

"Mr. Yan, good evening!" Taylor walked towards the two with a smile on his face, "Miss Yan, we meet again!"

Yan Huai was taken aback for a moment. He had met Taylor Kaufman several times at art exhibitions and auctions, but he never thought that this person knew Yan Fuguang.

Yan Fuguang explained in a low voice, Yan Huaizuo understood.

"It's no wonder Miss Yan likes art, it's because of her family background!"

Taylor always has the appearance of a kind elder, who speaks at a leisurely pace, and is very talkative.

"Miss Yan, in a few days, the whole of New York, oh no, the whole world will applaud you, you are an amazing genius!"

"I'm honored, but who knows what will happen in the future?" Yan Fuguang didn't answer the words, and he didn't mean to be complacent.

Taylor still did not forget the last topic, and he invited Yan Fuguang again.

"If Ms. Yan is willing to come to Holy Trinity, you can use all the academic resources of the mathematics researcher. You can ask for any other requirements, and we will do our best to meet them."

Taylor's persistence did not surprise Yan Fuguang. After all, Qian Mingli said earlier that almost every famous school was looking for her.

"Mr. Kaufman, I..."

But this time Taylor interrupted Yan Fuguang with a little impoliteness.

"Miss Yan, don't be in a hurry to refuse. If you have any concerns or requests, you can speak up. Holy Trinity looks forward to your arrival with [-]% enthusiasm!" After a few seconds of consideration, Taylor continued, "I don't know if I have this Is it an honor to invite Ms. Yan to visit Trinity University?"

Seeing that Yan Fuguang was not interested in Taylor's proposal, Yan Huaizuo took over the conversation: "Mr. Kaufman, we will give more consideration to your proposal, thank you for your kind invitation."

Frustrated by Yan Fuguang again, Taylor did not show any displeasure, he still maintained his usual elegance.

"You're welcome, in the words of your country of Hua, this should be 'thirsty for talent'!" Taylor said with a smile.

Although it sounds like an out-and-out foreign accent, Taylor can speak so without thinking, which shows that he has also dabbled in Chinese culture.

"Then I won't disturb the two of you."

Taylor nodded politely, then smiled and said to Yan Fuguang: "Miss Yan, I look forward to your dazzling moment on the podium!"

"Thank you."

Watching Taylor go away, Yan Huaizuo looked at Yan Fuguang with some excitement, only feeling an unparalleled pride and pride.

"I never thought in my life that my daughter would become a mathematician!" Yan Huai patted his daughter on the shoulder, "Don't be burdened. No matter where you want to go or what you want to do, Dad will always support you!"

Yan Huaizuo never felt that Yan Fuguang had to do something. Since he was young, his only expectation for his daughter was to hope that she would live a happy life.
