"I'm very sorry, sir, but the auction has already started. If you want your painting to be included, it needs to be appraised first. Even if it meets our standards, you'll have to wait for the next auction."
Before Bai Menghan could translate, the woman across from them answered Fang Chenyi in perfectly fluent Chinese.
Fang Chenyi wasn't surprised to hear her fluent Chinese. After all, how could the person in charge of a Huaxia-focused event not understand Huaxia?
But after hearing her out, Fang Chenyi simply smiled and shook his head, then asked with a playful look,
"Oh? So you're saying there's absolutely no way to have it auctioned now? Let me get this straight—even if I were to produce an authentic work by Picasso, you still couldn't do it?"
"Oh my god, I hope you're not just saying that. If you truly have an authentic piece by Mr. Picasso, then we can arrange to have it auctioned immediately, if you wish! But you must guarantee its authenticity."
