Shen Yu, who is not an idiot, can naturally feel Pei Yuqin's feelings for him.
He smiled awkwardly, "Sister Qin, I found Mr. Qin's birthday gift."
Pei Yuqin was startled, "So fast?"
"Well, I believe Mr. Qin will like this seal."
Shen Yu took out an exquisite silver square box from his pocket.
It is carved with auspicious patterns of pine and crane, longevity, wealth and longevity.
After opening it, the soapstone seal that I found in the art section of the flea market today was lying quietly inside.
Pei Yuqin looked at it for a while and asked with some uncertainty: "Is this the Dahongpao Chicken Bloodstone Seal?"
"It's not just Dahongpao. Sister Qin, please look at the seal again." Shen Yu reminded.
"Ah, there is actually a landscape pattern here?" Pei Yuqin glanced at Shen Yu, a little unbelievable.
"It seems to be natural?"
Shen Yu: "Yes, it is formed naturally, but Sister Qin, you may have to spend money. Without money, I will not sell you this seal."
Pei Yuqin rolled her eyes at Shen Yu and said, "Are you afraid that your sister has no money? Just sit down and I will let you know my sister's financial resources in a while."
After she finished speaking, she walked barefoot to her desk and pressed a blue button on a visual instrument, "Shirley, come in."
"Eat some fruit, I'll wash it myself."
Pei Yuqin took two candied apples from the desk and handed one to Shen Yu. Then the two of them sat on armchairs and ate the apples.
Tuk Tuk.
Within ten seconds, there was a knock on the glass door of the office.
The sound is not loud, just enough for people in the room to hear.
"Come in."
A young girl opened the door and walked in. She was about 23 or 24 years old, with an oval face, a slender figure, and was wearing a light-colored office suit.
Her hair, which is like a black waterfall, is not tied into a ponytail, but is just draped casually over her shoulders.
The eyebrows are not the flat eyebrows that are popular today, but a retro-style willow-leaf curved eyebrow tattoo.
Under the eyebrows, a pair of eyes as clear as water are extremely pure.
At this moment, these eyes were wide open and full of disbelief.
Our CEO, who is always noble and elegant in front of outsiders, is now eating an apple with the skin on?
As Pei Yuqin's secretary, she knows very well how many people want to pursue Pei Yuqin.
It's just that Pei Yuqin's innate grace and noble demeanor makes many people feel ashamed in front of her.
My own master, my own sister, my own CEO, eating an apple barefoot and cross-legged in front of a big boy?
In an instant, Shirley felt that the world had changed.
Pei Yuqin looked so careless, even if he beat her to death, she wouldn't believe it.
It's simply incredible.
"Shirley, why are you so stunned?" Pei Yuqin saw Shirley standing there blankly and couldn't help but remind her.
"Pei, Mr. Pei, what's the matter with you?" Shirley asked hesitantly.
Pei Yuqin pointed to the Dahongpao Soapstone seal on the coffee table and said, "Shirley, take it to the appraisal center and let the jade appraiser estimate the price."
"I know, Mr. Pei."
Shirley quickly walked a few steps to the coffee table, carefully put the seal into the silver box, and then picked it up with both hands. The moment she went out, she couldn't help but look at Shen Yu again.
"He's a bit handsome, but it's impossible to seduce his CEO. What's going on???"
Shirley walked out of President Gaogu's office with a thoughtful look on her face.
"I wonder what time the client will come?"
Pei Yuqin glanced at the clock on the wall and said, "The scheduled time is two o'clock in the afternoon, there is still more than half an hour.
"But there is no need for us to come forward. Let the appraisers from the appraisal center take a look first. If we are not sure, we will go there again."
Shen Yu frowned and said: "Sister Qin, didn't you say that after the auction is made into a catalogue, it cannot be withdrawn.
"Is your client's temporary cancellation of the shooting this time a deliberate mischief by your competitors?
"Also, haven't you collected the customer's deposit?"
Pei Yuqin sighed quietly, her brows full of sadness, "I'm getting upset when I talk about this matter. You don't know that in order to get those two authentic works of Tang Yin, we made a lot of concessions when we signed the auction contract.< /p>
"The commission and liquidated damages are only a nominal fee of 100,000 yuan. As long as the auction has not started and the other party is willing to pay the liquidated damages, the auction can be withdrawn.
"According to the signed contract, we have no right to stop it."
Shen Yu closed his eyes and went through the matter in his mind, and then murmured: "But the other party's withdrawal from the filming will have a great impact on Gao Gu's credibility and image.
"After all, many collectors came to this Gao Guqiu auction for the two paintings by Tang Yin."
Pei Yuqin: "Who says it's not the case? It just happened to be the time when I was promoted to president."
Shen Yu was still thinking about the whole thing and continued to ask: "Then the several antiques you asked me to appraise are all the collections of Gaogu members?"
Pei Yuqin shook his head, "No, because the Gaogu Autumn Auction will start in half a month, and it is too late to collect antiques from members. These auction items were introduced through members."
"Sister Qin, have you ever thought about what if this was the other party's fault? First the auction was deliberately canceled, and then a new auction was brought in, and just when Gao Gu's chief appraiser had a heart attack, was it really possible? Is it such a coincidence?" Shen Yu expressed his doubts.
When Shen Yu said this, Pei Yuqin suddenly showed a hint of wariness on his face, "Without your reminder, I really wouldn't have thought about it.
"Actually, if I had my way, I wouldn't collect auction items from people who don't know the details.
"It's a pity that porcelain makes up the majority of my father's and my collections, and there are very few famous paintings, and even fewer that can compare with Tang Yin.
"It was also a coincidence that the other party happened to have a pair of Tang Yin's authentic works handed down from generation to generation, and also a pair of Qiu Ying's albums, which just filled the gap when the photo was canceled.
"Actually, if it was just for show, I could borrow a few paintings. Unfortunately, this is a real auction and it is impossible to borrow paintings.
"However, we have also investigated the other party's details.
"The ancestors of this family have nine Jinshi in one family, and three Jie Yuan in seven generations.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
"One of our ancestors was even more remarkable. He won the first place in the provincial examination, the second place in the general examination, and the first place in the palace examination. He was only one step away from the glory of being a scholar by passing the third place, and finally he became the prime minister."
Shen Yu asked curiously: "But it's from Guanxian Zhuangyuan Town?"
Pei Yuqin shook his head, "No, he's from Qingyun Town, Chen County. We've asked about all the neighbors, and that family has a house with three entrances, so it should be fine."
As Pei Yuqin said, when she is in her position, it is easy to borrow a few authentic works from ancient times to show off the auction.
But if it's a fake photo, Gao Gu's reputation will be tarnished if word spreads about it.
Fake auctions are auction houses that increase the quality of their auction items in order to increase their popularity, but these auction items cannot be truly auctioned, so they go through a process.
The collection was put up for auction, with agents from the auction house constantly raising the price, and finally the sale was completed.
However, the "buyer" is unable to pay for the real money, that is, if he does not pay for the auction, he will let it go or lose some of the bidding deposit.
This will ensure that the antiques will not be bought by outsiders.
Another way is to set a high reserve price.
For example, a painting is worth five million, but the reserve price is set at ten million.
If it doesn’t reach 10 million, then even if it reaches 9.99 million, it won’t be taken away.
No one would pay ten million for an antique worth five million.
These are all conspiracy schemes of the auction house, but in reality no one will play this way, because it will discredit their company and lose its credibility.
That's why Pei Yuqin was so worried after someone temporarily canceled the filming.
After thinking about it, Shen Yu said solemnly: "Sister Qin, don't worry, I have an authentic "Ink Bamboo and Stone Pictures" by Wang Mengduan, which is more valuable than Tang Yin's in terms of value and fame.
"This painting can be put up for auction on an expedited basis in my name. The reason is just and aboveboard. I just say that the other party withdrew the auction maliciously, and then the company obtained a better lot through its own channels.
"In this way, outsiders will know your true strength, Sister Qin."
Pei Yuqin quickly shook his head, "Then if it is really taken away, wouldn't you lose a famous painting?"
Shen Yu smiled and said, "If you give me money, it doesn't mean you don't pay me if you take it away."
Pei Yuqin shook his head again, "You are not short of money now. I know your dream is to open a personal museum. Wang Mengduan's original works can only be found but not sought. No, absolutely not."
"Sister Qin, you have just assumed the role of CEO of Gaogu. As a friend, I will definitely support you.
"And in my heart, you are far more than an ordinary friend, but a relative of mine.
"In this world, nothing is as important as family members." Shen Yu looked at Pei Yuqin and said these words very sincerely.
Pei Yuqin's face turned red when he heard this, and he even lowered his head slightly.
"Have you been in touch with your ex-girlfriend a lot lately?" Pei Yuqin asked casually as if she had accidentally put away the apple cores on the coffee table.
Shen Yu did not hesitate at all. He threw the fruit core directly into the trash can and said happily, "I went there once and gave her rice, noodles, grains and oil.
"She was very happy when she first lived in that house, but Uncle Song's house was really too big. She became a little scared while living there, so she found two more colleagues.
"They are all girls, so it is inconvenient for me to go."
There was a teasing smile on Pei Yuqin's lips, "You mean, if it's convenient, you can go there often?"
