Song Jingang fetched a bowl of hot water from the tea table, his movements as calm as if he were giving some kind of daily demonstration. He put in the string of "produced in the sea" astringent, and soon a strange fading spread on the water surface.
At that moment, the air was so quiet that the quivering of breathing could be heard.
"This one," Song Jingang raised his eyes, his tone as relaxed as if chatting, "ten yuan for three items, from a street stall." Polishing and dyeing, all done in one step. Since it's about appraising treasures, it's necessary to get some fakes to liven up the atmosphere. But Mr. Fang, you are indeed right about one thing - it did come out of the sea.
Every word he said was not loud, but precise as if he were gently fanning Fang Xiaotian's face, and that wind was extremely painful.
Fang Xiaotian's face instantly turned bright red, and even the base of his neck was tinged with embarrassment.
Losing face - that's still the light part.
Just at this moment, the old man from the East spoke up, "Alright, now let's take a look at the two things that Xiao Qin has brought."
This sentence was simply a lifeline to Fang Xiaotian. He heaved a sigh of relief in his heart: his eyes could finally be taken away from this disaster of his.
The old man from the East picked up the wood carving on the table, ponded for a moment, and his tone carried a touch of helpless nostalgia.
I bought this wood carving for over 30,000 yuan back then. From the patina to the carvings, everything is similar to the old items of the Ming Dynasty.
He paused at this point, showing a hint of embarrassment.
Later, I asked the master to take a look - it was a fake. I also paid for my lesson. Keeping it is to remind myself to be more vigilant.
His candor made everyone nod in agreement. In this line of work, no one can guarantee that they will never fail in their lifetime.
But Fang Xiaotian insisted on saying, "This is unlikely, is it?" It looks like an old object. Could it be that your friends made a mistake?
The gazes of the people around immediately became subtle.
Attacking the friends of the senior? This is quite a bold move.
The old man from the East's expression darkened for a moment before he spoke slowly:
This wood carving is well done, but it makes a mistake that no professional would ever make. The jade vase of the Water-sprinkling Guanyin is in the "pouring water form", with the other hand holding the Dharma seal. This is the rule. And this one - is completely wrong. The ancients revered deities and would not make such mistakes.
He sighed and said, "To be honest, I didn't notice it back then either."
Having said that, he put down the wood carving and picked up another snuff bottle.
This is an old item from the Qianlong period and is rare in existence on the market. I have seen something almost the same as it in the Forbidden City. The market price is approximately 200,000."
He immediately gave a smile with a hint of pride:
"I bought this for fifty cents at a street stall thirty years ago." "
There was a chorus of exclamations.
The old man was clearly excited: "That seller back then was a spendthrift and had no idea that what he had was a treasure." Xiao Qin, look, my eyesight wasn't bad when I was young, was it?"
With just one sentence, he directly covered up the embarrassment of "buying a fake".
Si Hanxue stood by the side, her eyes lost in thought. Qin Hao was sure of both of them in a row. This didn't seem like luck.
Qin Hao smiled and replied, "It seems I was right again, old man." "
That "Meng" was bitten very hard, and Fang Xiaotian's face darkened even more.
But he still tried to maintain his composure and took a deep breath: "It seems that I lost the most thoroughly in today's treasure appraisal event." "Willing to accept defeat - I'm treating you tonight. Please don't rush." "
This posture made quite a few people take a second look at him.
Just when he thought he could regain control of the situation -
"Mr. Fang."
Si Hanxue suddenly spoke up, her tone calm but with a sharp curve.
"Since you brought something too, would you like us to have a look together?" "
Fang Xiaotian's spirit instantly lifted. The opportunity has come.
This is his strong suit. He is so confident that it almost overflows.
"Sure." This is the latest model we invited a British designer to create. It suits Miss Si's temperament very well."
He handed over the box, with an elegant posture and a meticulously crafted smile.
Si Hanxue opened the box, and Qin Hao also turned his head to take a look - a diamond combination of four small and one large, shining very commercially.
Si Hanxue stared at the main diamond in the setting, her eyes coldness imperceptibly for a moment.
Fang Xiaotian completely misinterpreted her reaction, thinking that she had been stunned.
After about ten seconds, she asked indifferently:
"How much do you sell this for?"
Fang Xiaotian immediately seemed to have pressed the play button:
It hasn't been priced yet, but it's around two million. If Miss Si is willing to be our brand image spokesperson, this necklace can be given to you for free.
He spoke with such certainty and confidence that he was almost blind.
He firmly believes that no woman can resist such "temptation".
He never expected even more that
What was truly tested was his eyesight, not Si Hanxue's patience.
What do you think Si Hanxue will respond to next?
A. Professional-level counterattack: Exposing the true value of the necklace on the spot, leaving Fang Xiaotian socially dead.
B. Cold Feng-style satire: With just one sentence, he was left speechless and the entire venue fell silent.
C. Elegant refusal: Being polite enough but bringing the other person back to their original state.
D. Save face for Qin Hao: Let Qin Hao sabotage her and, at the same time, intensify the tension in their interaction.
