Chapter 204: Chapter 204: Sign the Contract in Advance

As the family of three arrived at the entrance, a familiar voice soon echoed from nearby.

"Mr. Chen! What are you doing here?"

Katherine rushed over excitedly and respectfully performed a deep bow.

Today, the young lady was dressed in a gown, looking very elegant.

Chen Yu was also somewhat surprised; as a direct descendant of William's family, Katherine should have been staying in Frankfurt. Why had she suddenly come here, and dressed so formally at that?

"I'm out traveling with my wife and child! What about you? Why are you dressed so grandly?"

Katherine pointed towards the picture on the church, "To attend the Edward Family's wedding, one must, of course, dress up."

Chen Yu's brows furrowed slightly, "You're saying that person is from the Edward family?"

"That's right, he is the current head of the family, Brown Edward!"

Tong Ya beside him was slightly stunned, subconsciously glancing back at the wedding poster.

As a child, she had met the leaders of various ancient royal families in the West and had seen Brown when he was a child.

But just now, her attention had been all on Fang Yuan, and she hadn't noticed Brown.

Looking at him now, Brown still bore some resemblance to how he looked in his childhood.

Katherine reached into her gown and after rummaging around, she pulled out a few invitations.

"Mr. Chen, this is an invitation to the inner ceremony of the wedding. Mr. Victor will be attending as well!"

Chen Yu's brows furrowed slightly—he really did not want to accept the invitation before him.

On one hand, the person getting married was his ex-wife, and on the other was his delicate relationship with William's family.

Just as he was about to refuse, Tong Ya suddenly reached out and took the invitation.

"That's great, Tong Group still has some overseas contracts to sign with William's family!"

Chen Yu looked at Tong Ya with a hint of confusion, not quite understanding what was going through the young lady's mind.

But now, Tong Ya's decision, in a sense, represented his decision.

Moreover, since the invitation was already accepted, he didn't feel it was appropriate to say much else.

"By the way, Mr. Chen, last time Mr. Victor had investigated the Eastern market and found that the semi-finished products sold by your company are very popular, hence he is interested in introducing them to the Western market."

Chen Yu perked up at this; lately, Hou Jianchang had been bringing him good news—factory efficiency had increased manifold compared to before.

Furthermore, a comprehensive cooperation with Tong Group had been achieved.

According to the current factory operations, they could achieve a production cost of three billion a month, with a net profit reaching one billion eight hundred million.

This was after deducting the factory's various basic expenses and worker benefits.

However, the products leaving the factory were barely enough to supply Tong Group; to supply the Western market, they would have to expand their factory.

"At present, it appears that introducing my products to the Western market will take some time. The question is whether Mr. Victor can wait that long."

"Of course!" Katherine raised her wrist and gently tapped a few times on the device attached to it.

"If Mr. Chen is willing, I can sign an order with you right now, although my authority is limited—Mr. Victor has only granted me the power to exercise three billion."

Chen Yu was slightly taken aback; in his view, Katherine was at most an executor for William's family.

To put it bluntly, a steward!

```

I couldn't believe Victor actually gave Katherine the authority to exercise three billion. Such immense trust.

"Aren't we hurrying too much? Even if you sign the order with me right now, I'm afraid it's going to take half a year to fulfill it, as I still have to expand the factory..."

Before he could finish speaking, Katherine directly asked for Chen Yu's corporate account.

"Working with Mr. Chen, let alone six months, even a longer time would be worth the wait for William's family!"

Chen Yu now felt a bit embarrassed; he has always wanted to avoid too much interaction with William's family, even harboring some resistance.

But now, it seems William's family might be a very good business partner.

"If that's the case, then let's find a place to finalize the details of the contract!"

Katherine nodded excitedly, "I know there's a museum nearby. Let's sign the contract there and also take the opportunity to visit the local sights."

Chen Yu did not refuse, but pointed to Ke Lan beside him at the same time.

"This young lady is about to go to my city for study abroad. Could you perhaps help with some arrangements?"

Indeed, Ke Lan was on the same path as Chen Yu, and they could take her back to Suzhou City after they finished their trip.

But now, with the contract talks and the wedding attendance, there was definitely a conflict of schedules.

Yet this young lady was extremely talented; she might even be a catch for his own shop.

Moreover, her background was pitiable; alone in this place without family or a job, it didn't seem right to just leave her behind.

Katherine glanced at Ke Lan and immediately made a phone call. It wasn't long before two members of William's family came to discuss things with Ke Lan.

The Holy Empire Museum is one of the largest museums in the West. Almost every era and civilization from around the world can be appreciated here.

There are even some Eastern treasures that have found their way to this place.

They only took a brief look around before finalizing the contract. However, Katherine did not sign in the delivery time section, effectively giving Chen Yu ample time.

But just as they had finished signing the contract, an annoying voice suddenly rose from the side.

"These past few years, more and more Easterners have been coming here to visit. Could it be that they're here to witness how their country's history has been trampled under our feet?"

With that statement, a fierce anger rose inside Chen Yu.

Even Tuan Tuan, standing beside him, looked fiercely at the man who spoke.

The fellow had golden hair and blue eyes, dressed quite appropriately, appearing to be a gentleman at first glance.

But the disdain in his eyes and the aura he exuded were utterly sickening.

Moreover, this guy was standing right beside a bronze square cauldron. Discover more content on m-vl-em-pyr

Chen Yu could tell at a glance that the bronze cauldron was a relic from the Shang and Zhou dynasties, with a large amount of inscriptions on it.

This artifact must have been plundered here during the invasion by the Western powers in the past, and now it was displayed as proof of their previous conquests over the Eastern people. seaʀᴄh thё novёlF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

[System prompt: This bronze cauldron is actually a late Qing Dynasty replica, and the verdigris is deliberately antiqued.]

Chen Yu paused for a moment; the luster and inscriptions on the bronze cauldron exuded a sense of historical depth.

If one didn't look carefully, it would be impossible to recognize it as a replica.

Yet even so, as the replica had been crafted nearly two hundred years ago, it still counted as a treasure.

"Excuse me, could I ask where the person in charge of this museum is?"
