Chen Ran was startled, and turned around to look, only to find a pair of well-dressed men and women walking over. The man was about the same age and height as him. There was a woman beside the man. The woman had yellow wavy hair and wore denim shorts.
The skirt and the upper body were wearing a very tight shirt, which made the breasts look bigger, revealing a large area of snow-white skin, causing passers-by to look over frequently.
Needless to say, Chen Ran's current memory is that as long as it is someone he has met, even if he has no impression, he can usually recognize this person when they meet again, but he did not recognize the man in front of him for a while, but he looked at it
It looks quite familiar.
"Chen Ran, it's really you." The man seemed very happy to see Chen Ran and walked towards Chen Ran excitedly.
The woman held his arm and followed him with a smile. When the man saw Chen Ran frowning, he couldn't tell that Chen Ran didn't recognize him. He couldn't help but pretend to be angry and said: "Chen Ran, you are still an old classmate.
You can’t even recognize me, I am..."
"Are you Jiang Tao?"
When the man talked about his old classmates, Chen Ran finally remembered that in his second year of high school, he did have such a classmate. Not only was he an old classmate, but he was also a front and rear classmate. The reason why he didn't recognize him at first was because he was in high school.
When he was a kid, Chen Ran was just a boring gourd. There were really no good classmates in the class. In addition, the classmate in front of him had changed a lot. After all, he hadn't seen him for so many years, so he was a bit unfamiliar.
"Fortunately, you haven't forgotten me." Jiang Tao was quite excited when he met Chen Ran. "It's not easy to meet an old classmate. Many of my former classmates can no longer be contacted. I don't know how everyone is doing now.
.”
Chen Ran nodded silently. He really didn't have any contact with any of his classmates in high school. Guo Hai was just his classmate in junior high school, but he didn't go to the same school in high school.
Jiang Tao said a few words to himself, looked at the fruit that Chen Ran was carrying, and said with a smile: "By the way, Chen Ran, you have graduated from college. Where are you making a fortune now? You are doing well, right?"
?I currently work at Dingsheng Auction House, and I happened to be on a business trip to Bishui this time..."
"It's not bad, I'm just a homeless person for the time being."
Chen Ran frowned slightly and said calmly.
Just now he was wondering why this old classmate was so enthusiastic towards him when he was not on good terms with him when he was in school. It cannot be said that he was not good at all, but there was no communication at all. Now he can see that he is just outside.
Now that I have done well, I want to feel proud in front of my former classmates.
He had heard of the Dingsheng auction house, which was quite famous among the auction houses in the collection world.
"That's very nice. It's so leisurely. It's not like me. Now I'm assigned to serve as a vice president in our Tianzhong City branch. I'm extremely busy every day. No, if I hadn't happened to go back to our Bishui business trip, I wouldn't have even come back to see you.
I don’t even have time to look…”
Jiang Tao was full of reluctance, but from the proud expression on his face, it could be seen that this guy got a bargain and was still acting like a good boy. The woman next to him, his girlfriend Xu Le, was hugging his arm and shaking her.
Judging from her expression, she also looked proud. Xu Le's appearance did not seem to be of superior quality, but the way she dressed up gave people a seductive vibe.
It is really boring to meet such people and such things. When you reach their age, friends have a certain classification, and you should treat friends with the same attitude. I sincerely treat you well.
People who are too lazy to talk to each other, but hang out with some fair-weather friends. Such people are undoubtedly very speechless. As a person, you must be able to distinguish between good and bad.
For Chen Ran, friends like Jiang Tao are undoubtedly just casual acquaintances, not even friends. If there is a relationship, it is just in the name of an old classmate. They have not contacted each other for so many years.
Even if we contacted him frequently in the future, the taste would change. Therefore, before Jiang Tao finished speaking, Chen Ran picked up the fruit in his hand, left a kind word, and turned away directly.
Jiang Tao was doing well outside. When he came back, he just wanted to show off in front of his old classmates. He blushed, but found that none of his old classmates could be contacted, which made him extremely depressed. He also held back a breath, but he didn't.
Thinking that just when he was depressed, he suddenly met Chen Ran, and he was extremely happy. However, before he could vent his excitement, Chen Ran suddenly turned around and left, making him feel like he had eaten a fly.
Feeling sick.
"Why is your classmate like this?"
Jiang Tao's girlfriend Xu Le also murmured dissatisfiedly. According to her imagination, Chen Ran should entertain them warmly, and then say nice words and envy them, but Chen Ran's attitude was a bit too indifferent.
.
"Well, this is what my classmate is like. When he was in school, he was just a boring gourd who didn't like to talk. He probably doesn't know how to socialize now. Such a person has no future when he enters the society. Don't pay attention to him." Jiang Tao also felt that in his girlfriend
I feel a bit lost in front of me.
Xu Le suddenly smiled: "No wonder he is still unemployed at home. He probably can't find a job."
"Forget about him, let's go wait for Mr. Wang in the hall. This will also show our sincerity."
Jiang Tao shook his head in disappointment, and walked toward the Literary and Art Association with Xu Le in his arms.
When he returned to Bishui this time, he did come back from a business trip. Although Dingsheng Auction House is well-known, it is only well-known in the province. The Tianzhong City Dingsheng Auction Branch has just been established not long ago.
There are also so many auction houses. It is not easy to become famous. You can only rely on different methods.
If a company like an auction house wants to become famous, the only way is to have some die-cast treasures when it opens the auction house, that is, antiques that attract the attention of collectors. They must have high collection value and be rare and precious.
, such antiques are hard to come by.
This time, the purpose of his business trip back to Bishui was to find an antique in a low-profile box.
When Chen Ran stepped into the lobby of the Literary and Art Association, he found that the lobby had changed a lot from the last time he came in. In the past, there were two rows of chairs taking up all the space. Now it has been renovated and the entire space has been renovated.
It was a bit bigger, and there were many more people queuing up in the hall waiting for identification than last time. Chen Ran couldn't squeeze in even if he tried to squeeze in. He squeezed twice and was scolded twice. Why should he squeeze in?
Get in line.
Chen Ran frowned and could only retreat. Since Wang Zhiqing asked him to come here to find him, he must be busy inside. There are so many people now, and it is estimated that they will not be finished in a while, so Chen Ran is not ready to go first.
Sorry to bother Wang Zhiqing.
Seeing that there was an empty seat next to him, he squeezed over to sit there and wait for Wang Zhiqing. Unexpectedly, he squeezed in and suddenly heard a cry from next to him: "Aran, Aran..."
When he heard someone calling him again, Chen Ran was confused. What happened today? It was really evil. Fortunately, this call meant that the person calling him should be his elder.
"A Ran, you're here too, come here and show Aunt Lan whether this flower pot in my house is valuable?"
Chen Ran looked back, only to find that the person who called him was his neighbor Aunt Xiaohong who used to live across from his house. Auntie Xiaohong was holding an old flower pot and was lining up. At this moment, she was waving to him happily. When she saw
At this scene, he could only walk over and say hello. If he didn't say hello and let his mother know, he would inevitably have to be lectured.
"A Ran, let me see if this flower pot of mine is real or fake. I took it to your house yesterday and asked you to help me check it out. Who knew your mother said you weren't at home..." Aunt Xiaohong said when she saw Chen Ran.
She was very enthusiastic and handed the flowerpot she was holding to Chen Ran.
"Who is this..." Although there were many people in the hall, it was still quiet. Even if there were people talking, they were speaking in a low voice. Aunt Xiaohong's shout suddenly made Chen Ran and her the focus of the hall.
Many people were puzzled and asked each other strangely.
Not to mention they were confused, even Chen Ran himself was confused.
In the past two days, when he was staying at home, many former neighbors came to his house with old things to show him, but Chen Ran asked Li Yuzhi to push them away, saying that he was not at home.
.
When it comes to appraising antiques, the most taboo thing is to appraise old classmates, old friends, old relatives, and old neighbors. If it’s a stranger, it’s just an acquaintance or a neighbor. It’s undoubtedly difficult to deal with it.
Let’s not talk about it. If the thing is indeed of high value, then everyone will be happy, so it’s true. But if it is of little value, it will be difficult.
Undoubtedly, the things these former neighbors showed him were hardly antiques. The most important thing was that these neighbors were not in the collecting circle.
People in the collection circle can tell the results in a cryptic way, but if his neighbors say it in a cryptic way, they will definitely not understand, so they can only tell it in a straightforward way.
It's just that since you hold something for him to appraise, you have high expectations. If he bluntly told people that this thing is worthless, how can they be willing to listen? People who understand the truth will not believe it if they don't believe it. I don't understand.
It's reasonable, I don't know what to think...
Therefore, this can be described as a completely thankless task...
When I was at home, I was pushed away, but I didn't expect to meet here.
[Ask for votes, the big push will be announced tomorrow, Xiaofu will try his best to break out as much as possible... Many thanks to Brother Azure Bear for the two rewards]
