There is a reason for Xie Ming to stay. He has always wanted to find an opportunity to get close to Chang Lao. This is not because he wants to join some antique association. He is a businessman, and of course it is for profit. Since Chen Fei and Luo Tian left one after another, the company has been in trouble.
Three appraisers were recruited, but Xie Ming always felt uneasy. He had always wanted to hire Chang Lao as the company's appraisal consultant, so that the company's external appraisal image could be improved to a higher level. Unfortunately, Chang Lao was very poor.
There is something like an invisible boss in the world, a dragon that has seen its beginning but not its end. Today, fate will bump into him. How could he give up this rare opportunity?
What Zhou Bozhai said makes sense, Xie Ming is a businessman with a certain level of appraisal, and businessmanship is his essence.
Chang Lao came here entirely because of Zhou Bozhai's reputation. Zhou Bazhai is not the kind of all-powerful person, but he has a gentle and benevolent personality and has quite good connections in the circle. His good reputation for many years is also the reason why he joined the Antiques Association.
First, facing this type of good old man, Chang Lao had no reason to refuse to participate in the banquet.
Zhou Bozhai understood Chang Lao's character. He was an upright man and could not tolerate any sand in his eyes. If he beat around the bush, it would only arouse his resentment. Therefore, Zhou Bozhai directly talked about the joint recommendation and naturally pushed Luo Tian in front of Chang Lao.
, and the most critical reason that made Chang Lao decide to meet Luo Tian for a while was that another person recommended Luo Tian. Luo Tian's jaw would probably drop when he found out, it was the person he thought was absolutely impossible - Xu Dashan!!
The eagle-eyed Xu Dashan did not recommend his apprentice Han Bing, but recommended his junior Luo Tian, who had only met a few times and had little friendship. This also made Chang Lao interested in this young man named Luo Tian.
In Chang Lao's eyes, this young man named Luo Tian is a bit thin, with quite fresh facial features. Although his face is rosy, there is always an indelible sadness between his brows, which makes him look a little lifeless, but his overall appearance is...
His temperament is still very - upright!! It actually makes him feel a bit like his younger self, which first of all adds some favorability points.
"Young man, your godfather has told you about the joint recommendation, right? Two members have already recommended you to participate in the first collection appreciation meeting. In addition to your godfather, there is also Teacher Xu Dashan. Now there is only one vote left.
That's all." Chang Lao spoke very calmly, but with a certain power that made people calm down and listen to him.
Luo Tian's jaw did not drop, but his mouth opened wide: "Teacher Xu Dashan?" This thing was so unexpected. The person who was originally thought to be the most unlikely turned out to be the biggest surprise.
Now there is only the last vote left, and this vote is right in front of him. Luo Tian's heart beat loudly: "Is Mr. Chang willing to give this vote to the junior?"
"It doesn't take a day or two for you to enter this circle. Strength, what everyone competes for is strength. Now let me see how capable you are of participating in the appreciation meeting without making a fool of yourself." Chang Lao said, opening the bag he brought with him.
Small bag, and took out another scroll from it.
At first Luo Tian thought it was a painting. When Chang Lao unfolded it, he breathed a sigh of relief. It was a picture of calligraphy, but he immediately took a deep breath. This picture had no signature and no date. It was not a complete picture.
When Zhou Bozhai and Xie Ming saw the words, they immediately frowned. This Chang Lao was really not an ordinary person, and his way of testing people was so strange.
"This is an ancient book. You can tell whether it is true or false. If you can tell the age and the basic style, then I will give you my vote." After Chang Lao finished speaking, he spread the style of the painting on the table.
On the table, he made an invitation gesture: "Let's get started."
It is not difficult to determine the authenticity and age. Luo Tian stared at the words with his eyes, and green light immediately appeared around him, with several clear numbers floating on it - 1410!! Look at the style again, it is similar to regular script,
But it's not regular script. In this case, the style should be...
Luo Tian was thinking about it, but Chang Lao didn't intend to give Luo Tian too much time: "True or false?"
"True." Luo Tian replied quickly.
Chang Lao nodded: "This is indeed true, but this answer has no technical content. After all, it is 50% to 50%. Now let me ask you again, the year?"
"Ming Dynasty."
Chang Lao looked a little interesting now. He pondered for a while, without saying whether he was right or wrong, and then asked: "Do you recognize this style of writing?"
Luo Tian nodded, pointed to the words on it and said: "It's similar to regular script, but not regular script. It's the same size, straight and neat."
Chang Lao couldn't help but nodded. It seemed that the young man's answer was ready. He asked: "Where is the final conclusion?"
"This style is called Guantao style, also known as Qianlu style, and courtyard style. In a narrow sense, it mainly refers to the fonts used for imperial examinations or Guange Hanlin Academy in the Qing Dynasty. Generally, they pursue black, square, and light.
All sizes are the same and must be neat and tidy. In the Ming Dynasty, it was called the Taige style." Luo Tian replied calmly.
However, Chang Lao was not going to let him go: "How do you determine that this font must be authentic?"
"The paper is not deceptive. The paper used for this font is rice paper. Rice paper is generally yellowish in color, softer, and has good water absorption. If you look closely, there are faint vertical and horizontal lines." Luo Tian said, holding up the paper.
, under the illumination of the light, the vertical and horizontal lines are clearly revealed.
Chen Xiaoying, who was on the side, secretly encouraged Luo Tian. Seeing Luo Tian distinguish the paper, he took a breath excitedly, and then looked at Chang Lao's face, but it was indistinguishable: "Take a step further." It seems that Chang Lao's face is indistinguishable.
Not wanting to let Luo Tian pass so easily, Chen Xiaoying's heart shrank and she became worried for Luo Tian again.
"Shen Du's works, Shen Du is known as Wang Xizhi of the Ming Dynasty. His brushwork is smooth and clean, his scenery is dark, and his style is elegant and gorgeous. It is suitable for the royal appreciation taste and aesthetic standards, so he is deeply appreciated by Zhu Di, the founder of the Ming Dynasty." Luo Tian finished.
Looking at Chang Lao, Chang Lao finally nodded in approval: "Not bad."
Luo Tian cheered: "Thank you, Mr. Chang."
"It seems that I can't give you this pass." Chang Lao put away the unsigned calligraphy: "I deliberately made things difficult, but you solved it easily. You are young and promising!!"
"The younger generation is less talented and less knowledgeable. It is the seniors who are looking down on me." Luo Tian said humbly.
Chang Lao nodded: "Welcome to the first collection appreciation meeting of the Antiques Association." At the same time, he extended his hand to Luo Tian and shook it: "I hope that one day, you can join our Antiques Association."
Zhou Bozhai was overjoyed after hearing this. With Chang Lao's character, he never praises others easily, but he not only affirmed Luo Tian, but also personally welcomed Luo Tian to join the Antiques Association. This was like opening another door for Luo Tian.
Luo Tian's heart was surging, and the road to the future seemed much wider.
Chang Lao was about to leave. Seeing this, Xie Ming hurriedly followed him. At the same time, he said to Luo Tian: "Xiaoying is a little drunk. You can take her home for me." After saying that, he hurriedly chased after Chang Lao.
Zhou Bozhai looked at Chen Xiaoying who was half drunk and half awake, and said helplessly: "You'd better send this lady home first. It seems that she is already a little unconscious."
Luo Tian walked up to Xiaoying. Xiaoying's originally red face became even hotter: "It'll be fine if I go back by myself."
"Where is that? Where are you going back? Are you going back to Mr. Xie's house?" Luo Tian had no idea where Chen Xiaoying lived. Chen Xiaoying shook her head: "I live at No. 78, Beihuan Road."
Luo Tian held Xiaoying's arm and carefully helped her walk out. Chen Xiaoying, who was originally three-thirds drunk, suddenly became seventy-three percent drunk and only three-thirds awake. She allowed Luo Tian to help her walk out and stopped her.
When they got into a taxi, Luo Tian and Chen Xiaoying sat in the back seat. Luo Tian carefully opened the window to let the air circulate, and at the same time reached out and gently patted Chen Xiaoying's back. Such gentle and gentlemanly behavior made Chen Xiaoying sink even more.
Finally, they were almost at the door of their home. Chen Xiaoying felt that the journey home today was extremely short, so she reluctantly got off the car. She was so uncomfortable that she leaned on the side of the roadside. Luo Tian thought she was still fainting: "How are you?
Are you ready? Do you want some water?"
"No, I'll just stand there for a while." In fact, Chen Xiaoying's drinking capacity is pretty good, but she has a lot of things on her mind today, and she drank too much, so she's a little sober.
When Luo Tian saw that Chen Xiaoying was not going in, he was not in a hurry to leave. He wanted to wait for Chen Xiaoying to feel more comfortable before leaving. When he saw that Chen Xiaoying was not going to leave, Chen Xiaoying's nose suddenly became sore and two lines of tears fell down.
Luo Tian was at a loss: "What's wrong? Xiaoying?"
Chen Xiaoying was so focused on crying that she didn't even care about the makeup on her face. While sobbing, she asked: "Luo Tian, you are so good at bullying others."
"I?"
"You clearly know that I like you, how can you still be so nice to me." Chen Xiaoying punched Luo Tian in the chest: "I used to tolerate Sister Zhou Hong here, but now I ask you, are you still thinking about it?
Sister Zhou Hong?"
Oh, woman, woman, Luo Tian closed his eyes: "I want to put aside emotional matters first, and focus on my career now, Xiaoying, I hope you can understand me."
A shrewd rich daughter Xiao Xue, and now the simple and lively Chen Xiaoying, Luo Tian's head has become two adults. Nowadays, men are rich and always want to show it in the number of women, but Luo Tian feels
This was completely asking for trouble. He didn't mean to hurt anyone, but he couldn't stop these women from feeling sad for him.
Hearing what Luo Tian said, although it was already expected, Chen Xiaoying still couldn't control her emotions: "So, do I have no chance at all?"
"That's not true. It's just that I need some time to get over the past." Luo Tian really couldn't bear it. He didn't know how to defend himself against a woman's tears.
"Then I will definitely wait for you." After saying this, Chen Xiaoying walked towards the community. She did not forget to turn around and give Luo Tian a bright smile, with tears still in her eyes: "Don't forget, this is our relationship.
