The first heir novel (Master Yu Who Smokes) novel Chapter 32

At this thought, Charles glanced at Philip, who was standing idly in a corner. He snorted in annoyance and mumbled, “What a useless man!”

Philip noticed his father-in-law looking at him, so he gave him a bright smile, but the older man only rolled his eyes at him. Okay, so the older man really did think nothing of him.

Just then, outside of Civil Gallery, a luxurious Bentley stopped at the entrance. A few female receptionists quickly rushed over.

Russell Field had specifically come to Civil Gallery today because he heard that there would be a treasure from China’s Ming Dynasty displayed today. An authentic painting by Tang Bohu! He was very intrigued. The man was a famous collector in the country, so when he heard that there would be a rare piece on display, of course, he had to see it with his own eyes!

Soon after he stepped into the gallery, Russell’s identity caused an uproar.

“Oh god! Isn’t that President Field from Civil Trading Group?”

“The grandmaster of collectors is actually here!”

“This is too shocking. Charles’s painting has even intrigued this great man!”

Many of the aristocrats in Riverdale greeted Russell respectfully upon seeing him and started fawning over the man. Not just because he was a famous collector, the man was also president of a company and had a net worth of more than three billion dollars!

Of course, the term ‘grandmaster of collectors’ was only an exaggeration by the local folks. Russell was only just a little well-known. But within the country, he was definitely at the level of a grandmaster, no doubt!

By then, Charles had rushed out from the innermost corner of the gallery with a bright smile. There was a group of people following behind him, all of them his friends.

“Oh my, it’s an honor to have Master Russell personally visit my exhibition. Please forgive me for not going out to meet you.” Charles was very excited. For the grandmaster of collectors, Russell Field, to make a personal visit, meant that his fame was about to shoot up tremendously for the grandmaster of collectors.

“Mr. Johnston, you’re too kind. I’m just here today because I’ve heard great things. I will be imposing on you.” Russell politely shook Charles’s hand as he smiled.

“It is my honor that Master Russell could come. Let me show you around. These are just some of the pieces that I tinker with in my free time. They can’t compare to Master Russell’s collection.” For Charles, meeting Russell was like a beginner meeting a great teacher. Charles was extremely humble toward Russel.

Upon seeing Russell, Aiden wanted to get acquainted with him by all means. He went over and ardently shook the older man’s hand, saying, “President Field, how do you do? I’m Aiden Grant, the manager of Stardream Media. It’s a pleasure to meet you.”

Russell politely shook his hand and was about to say something when Aiden continued, “President Field, I was the one who set up the exhibition today, why don’t I show you around myself?”
