Harvey York's Rise to Power novel Chapter 328

The old man with the name of Charles Zarate, was the president of the Niumhi Antique Dealers’ Association, the young woman behind him was none other than Rosalie Naiswell while the young man was his student, Luis Zarate.

Harvey York wasn’t surprised to see his arrival given how reputable he was in the antique industry, it’s only natural for him to attend this antique fair today. As a side note, his relationship with Shane Naiswell seemed to be very close.

While the student Luis was obviously chasing after Rosalie as his sight never left her since the moment he entered the room.

However, Rosalie’s facial expressions changed just slightly as she rested her gaze on Harvey. This immediately made Luis stunned and cautious.

Rosalie was a true icy beauty who seemed to be cold to anyone she met, but her eyes soften up evidently when she’s face to face to this stranger who’s from god knows where.

Even without introducing themselves to each other, Luis had already seen Harvey as his competition.

Shane stood up to shake Charles’s hand and greeted him, “Old buddy, you’re finally here, I thought you won’t come this time for me.”

Charles laughed. “I heard that you found some goodies in our Niumhi city, so of course I’d be here to check them out, I’ll be excited and happy if your judging skills turned out to be wrong!”

“Better not be! Although I’m old and all but my eyesight is still good,” Shane shot back.

Harvey understood right away how close both of the old men must be with each other, or else the two esteemed professionals in the same field wouldn’t be talking to each other this way.

“So you’re the young man who’s looked highly upon by Naiswell, rumours had it that you appraised the painting of ‘Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains’ successfully, is that true?” Charles stated with a smile after observing Harvey carefully as he approached him.

To him, Harvey looked like an ordinary young guy with no special talents, he didn’t see why Shane would admire him.

Harvey stood up instantly out of respect for someone as distinguished as Charles, even if he ignored Charles’s status he would still show respect as a courtesy toward the elders.

“Nice to meet you President Zarate, you’re thinking too highly of me, I was just lucky that day,” Harvey replied humbly.

“Young man, you’re not looking down on the treasures and goods I could find and bring here to you, are you?” This time, Charles sat right in front of Harvey and said with a friendly smile.

Harvey didn’t know what to do, it would be disrespectful if he rejected Charles again.

Plus, Charles seemed to be more curious of Harvey’s talent rather than hating him, any smart person wouldn’t refuse again to not trigger him.

Although Harvey wasn’t at all afraid of Luis, the problem was making a friend is way better than having another enemy.

With that in mind, Harvey thought about it and replied, “President Zarate, the fair is about to start, why don’t we enjoy the exhibition first and only then I’ll privately ask you to teach me a few things on antiques?”

Charles looked down at his watch and said, “There’s 20 minutes left, it’s still an ample amount of time.”

Finally, Luis who had been quiet all this time spoke up with a snigger, “Mr, if you actually don’t know how to appraise treasuries you should say so, why all the bullshits and excuses?”
