Ke Xue Bartender

Chapter 160 Egg!
"So this is ah."

After learning what happened from Xiaolan, Sonoko fell into deep thought.

[Okino Yoko is a strong opponent]

[But even if she's a popular idol, I won't back down]

[I am the queen of love, Suzuki Sonoko. I will not lose to idols who have to be secretive when dating! Come on, idol! ]

There seemed to be some kind of fanatical flame burning in Yuanzi's eyes, and her scorching gaze seemed to melt Lin Ye.

She is really enthusiastic.

Lin Ye sighed.

Most people would not be able to resist having such a wonderful woman as their boyfriend.

Lin Ye calmly met Yuanzi's enthusiastic gaze.

"Thank you, Sonoko."

Yuanzi was stunned: "Hey, what are you thanking me for?"

Lin Ye smiled and said, "It's about the Rice Flower Art Museum."

"Haha, well, actually, after seeing the news, my dad was planning to buy the Rice Flower Museum. I just mentioned it during dinner."

Although she downplayed it, Lin Ye knew that things were definitely not that simple.

"Anyway, thank you."

[Mr. Lin cares so much about that art museum? Does he like art? ]

Thinking of this, Yuanzi's eyes lit up:
"Do you like art? I have a lot of them at home. If you want to see them, Mr. Lin, I can take you to see them. I remember there was an egg with an interesting mechanism. Just insert the key into the egg and turn it, and the golden man inside will move." Yuanzi introduced enthusiastically.

When Yuanzi was describing it, Lin Ye saw the egg in her mind.

It was a green Easter egg with silver patterns. It was exquisitely crafted and the style of production looked very familiar to Lin Ye.

"Fabergé eggs?"

When this name popped up in his mind, Lin Ye couldn't help but shudder all over.

Fabergé, the legendary Russian jeweler, was commissioned by the Tsar and nobles to create a total of 1885 eggs between 1917 and 69, 50 of which were presented to the royal family.

These Easter eggs, made of precious metals, gemstones and enamel, are classics in the history of jewelry art.

In 2002, when Lin Ye was alive, a Fabergé egg was sold for a sky-high price of nearly 1000 million US dollars (960 million yuan).

And as time goes by, the price of these Easter eggs is getting higher and higher.

By 2014, the average valuation of each of these Easter eggs had exceeded $3000 million.

Of the 69 eggs, the whereabouts of 7 are unknown. After the end of the Tsarist rule, 62 of the remaining 30 eggs remained in Russia, and the rest were scattered around the world.

You can't buy these eggs even if you have money.

They are either kept in museums or hidden in the private treasure houses of the super-rich. Ten of them are even kept in the arsenal of the Kremlin in Russia!

Every time an egg appears in the world, it causes a sensation.

Lin Ye had seen photos of some of the eggs on the Internet, and during his global bartender training journey, he had also been fortunate enough to see a few real ones.

So when he saw the Easter egg in Sonoko's mind, he immediately remembered one of the ones he had seen before.

Although the accessories and details are different, the style is very similar.

Could this be one of the seven lost Easter eggs?

Lin Ye couldn't help but feel his heart beating fast.

If it really is a lost Fabergé egg, it would be great to be able to see it up close, or even touch it.

"Ms. Sonoko, what is the name of the egg you mentioned?"

"What's the name?" Yuanzi shook her head. "I don't know. It should be just an ordinary Easter egg craft. I used to play with it as a toy when I was a child."

Toy……

Well, Lin Ye has a new understanding of the strength of the Suzuki Group.

If the egg was really made by Fabergé, it would be worth billions of yen, but it was just a toy for a child. Ms. Mingmei's trial mission was only 10 billion, which was enough for Ms. Mingmei to join the organization several times.

However, judging from Yuanzi's reaction, the egg might have been treated as an ordinary handicraft, and its true identity has not yet been discovered.

Or maybe it was just an ordinary Easter egg and not from the hand of Fabergé.

Lin Ye wanted to see the egg with his own eyes to confirm it, so he asked a few more questions about the egg.

Yuanzi noticed that he was very interested in the egg, so she waved her hand and said generously:
"If you want to see it, Mr. Lin, I can take you there anytime. Xiaolan can go too."

"Thank you, Sonoko, but I won't need it."

Although Xiaolan was also a little curious about the egg, she thought that Yuanzi might want to be alone with Mr. Lin, so she declined.

Conan on the side curled his lips.

[Haha, this guy Yuanzi is starting to hook up with men again]

[I wonder if this bartender can resist the temptation of the Suzuki family's wealth]

Conan looked at Lin Ye. Although Lin Ye appeared calm, he couldn't be sure that he was not pretending.

Although Lin Ye really wanted to go to the Suzuki family to see the egg, if he went alone, he might be misunderstood by the Sonoko family.

While he was thinking about how to visit Sonoko's house in a suitable capacity, the shop door was pushed open.

Hearing the ringing, Lin Ye looked towards the door.

He is the director of the Yūka Art Museum, Ochiai.

When Director Ochiai saw Lin Ye at the bar, he immediately walked to the bar, staring at Lin Ye with his old eyes, his excitement unable to hide on his old face.

"Young man, you are here."

Lin Ye smiled and said, "Director Ochiai, are you here to drink?"

Director Ochiai looked at Lin Ye gratefully: "I am old now and have stopped drinking for many years. I came here specially to thank you."

Director Ochiai had never expected that this young man whom he met by chance in the museum had such great power. In just two days, he changed the fate of the art museum.

Not only did he make that bastard Manaka hand over the ownership of the art museum, he also found the powerful Suzuki Group as the next buyer.

With the support of the Suzuki Group, there is no need to worry about the art museum being demolished in the future.

Director Ochiai stood in front of the bar, with his hands on his thighs, and bowed solemnly to Lin Ye.

"Thank you so much!"

Lin Ye quickly said, "Director Ochiai, there is no need to do this."

Director Ochiai straightened up, his eyes moistened: "The Rice Flower Museum is like my child. Without your help, my child would have been taken away by someone else."

Yuanzi looked at the old man with a white beard and said in surprise: "You are the director of the Rice Flower Art Museum."

"I am, Miss, are you Mr. Lin's friend?"

Lin Ye introduced with a smile: "Director Ochiai, this is Miss Sonoko, the second daughter of the Suzuki family."

"Oh, it turns out to be the second daughter of the Suzuki family." Director Ochiai suddenly realized.

[No wonder the Suzuki Group took action. It turns out that Mr. Lin and this second lady are friends.]

"I heard that there are ghost knight activities at the Beika Art Museum at night. Is it true?" Sonoko asked curiously.

Director Ochiai's face turned red.

The so-called Ghost Rider is just him wearing armor and walking around the museum at night in order to kill Shinaka.

"Please rest assured, Miss Sonoko. The ghost story is completely a rumor. Someone must be behind this. I have asked the museum to investigate this matter thoroughly and strengthen the security in the museum. This kind of situation will never happen again."

Now that Manaka has gone on a trip abroad, he doesn't need to do that kind of thing anymore.

"Well, thank you for your hard work." Although Sonoko was smiling, she could not hide the disappointment on her face.

[How boring! I wanted to see what Ghost Rider looked like, but it turns out to be fake.]
