Chapter 232 Two Little Rich Women
As Eileen spoke, she stepped forward and slightly extended her hand, preparing to greet Hua Yu with the traditional Chinese greeting.
Upon seeing this gesture, Hua Yu was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and gently shook hands with her before quickly separating.
It's clear that Eileen has some interest in Chinese culture; she even has a small Chinese accessory pinned to her waist.
"Hello, this is Hua Yu. I heard you've been waiting for me for a long time. Is there something you need?"
Eileen glanced at Ivan beside Hua Yu, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Can I talk to you alone?"
"Which of you arrived first?" Hua Yu asked.
Since both of them were looking for him, he would naturally follow the rule of first come, first served.
"She was already there when I arrived," Ivan said with a shrug, sounding somewhat helpless.
"Ivan, I'll talk to her first. Why don't you come sit with me for a bit, okay?"
"It's alright, you two talk first."
After settling Ivan in, Hua Yu returned to the hall and erected a Silence Barrier around herself and Eileen.
"Your cultivation in the sound system seems to be..."
After asking that question, Eileen gave Hua Yu a deep look.
Although the sound fluctuations were fleeting, Eileen, who was only studying the Mind system, still vaguely sensed something was amiss at such close range.
"Let's talk business."
Hua Yu avoided the topic of Eileen, and then, with a thought, poured a cup of tea into the cups in front of the two of them.
Eileen glanced at the tea in front of her, thought for a moment, and then gently picked it up and took a sip.
They also have tea here, but Eastern tea and Western tea taste somewhat different.
Eileen took a small sip before speaking, "Hua Yu, I heard that you obtained this battlefield treasure, a baby ice dragon egg. I wonder if you have any intention of selling it?"
It really was this!
When Hua Yu learned from Zhao Manyan that Eileen had come to find him, he began to guess that her purpose in coming was for the dragon egg in his possession.
Behind Eileen is the Victorian family, an ancient magical family in Europe. They started out by taming beasts and later in the original story, they even mastered the technology of taming dragons.
Whether for research or to establish a monopoly, the Victorian aristocracy hoped to gain control of the dragon egg in Hua Yu's possession.
"I'm sorry, I did intend to sell this dragon egg, but someone has already reserved it for me, so I apologize," Hua Yu said.
"Is that the girl from earlier?"
Eileen, being meticulous, quickly realized this.
"Yes." Hua Yu nodded truthfully; there was nothing to hide.
He sold the dragon egg to Ivan without intending to make a secret deal; he wanted the whole world to know so that those who coveted the dragon egg wouldn't bother him.
"How much is she offering? We can offer two hundred million more than her," Eileen asked.
Upon hearing this, Hua Yu was speechless.
One or two of them are all young rich women!
They keep adding up to two hundred million at a time.
Even though Eileen offered a higher price, Hua Yu did not hesitate and refused directly, saying, "Since I promised her, I will definitely give this to her."
"What if I contribute a little more?" Eileen asked, still somewhat unwilling to give up.
Upon hearing this, Hua Yu smiled slightly and said, "This is not a matter of money, but of reputation."
Eileen stared intently at Hua Yu with her golden eyes for a long time before finally looking away. She couldn't help but laugh and said, "Uncle John was right, you really are a very interesting person."
"John?"
Upon hearing the name, Hua Yu immediately thought of the bearded knight commander and couldn't help but ask with some doubt, "Is he your uncle?"
"Yes, he is my youngest uncle."
The two chatted for a while longer and then exchanged contact information.
"Remember to look for me next time you visit our country."
"The same to you!"
The two exchanged a smile; although the deal fell through, they had at least become acquainted.
"Actually, I can introduce you to Ivan. You might want to try talking to her."
Upon hearing this, Eileen, who was initially disappointed at not getting the dragon egg, immediately saw a glimmer of hope.
"Thank you for your help!"
Hua Yu nodded, told Eileen to wait downstairs for a while, then went upstairs to find Ivan and sold the Ice Dragon's hatchling egg for 2.1 billion.
At the same time, Ivan returned the two things Hua Yu had given her to him.
That was a source of water and a crystal of wood!
The total value is around 700 million.
It was thanks to Hua Yu's help that Ivan and others barely made it into the quarterfinals.
With this additional 700 million, Huayu's haul from this treasure hunt is at least 7 billion!
Hua Yu also told Ivan about Eileen's situation, and the decision of whether or not to go was ultimately given to her.
After some consideration, Ivan decided that regardless of whether he sold the egg or not, it was necessary to see Eileen. Therefore, with Hua Yu's help, the two women met.
At Ivan's insistence, Hua Yu also stayed behind and listened to the two women's conversation.
Finally, Eileen bought the dragon egg from Ivan for 2.3 billion.
At the same time, Eileen also promised that within the next two years, she would sell a tamed ice-attribute dragon to Ivan's family at 30% of the market price.
Such conditions were something Ivan could not refuse at all. With the consent of her family elders, she finally chose to make a deal with Eileen.
Making two hundred million for free, plus a 30% discount on an ice-type dragon, seems like a good deal. But later on, the Victorian family, who have completely monopolized the dragon-taming industry, can decide how much to sell a dragon for.
Hua Yu saw through it but didn't say anything, simply watching quietly as the two women signed the contract.
All three were happy with this deal.
Afterwards, Hua Yu waved his hand and led the two women out to a restaurant.
The three people came from three different places and ate completely different things. Hua Yu didn't care about that and directly led the two to a seafood restaurant in Venice run by Chinese people. They ordered nine catties of crayfish as soon as they arrived.
The crayfish that usually can't be sold in Venice are now in high demand thanks to the influx of Chinese tourists.
When the seafood restaurant owner saw that the visitor was Hua Yu, he naturally made sure to cook the crayfish Hua Yu had ordered first.
"Try it out, there are three flavors: Thirteen Spices, Garlic, and Spicy. See which one you like."
Hua Yu smiled and wrapped his hands with his spatial power, then peeled one lobster from each of the three flavors and gave one to each of the two women.
The two women hesitated at first, but after seeing that even a noble young man like Hua Yu had started eating, they naturally stopped hesitating.
One bite, and there was no stopping it.
"Hua Yu, I want spicy food!"
"Hua Yu, is this called Thirteen Spices? I like it!"
