"Brother Wang, I have nothing to do, but they are attending a treasure appraisal party, and we didn't bring anything with us..."
Chen Ran was quite excited. He had also heard of activities such as the Treasure Appraisal Party. It was a treasure appraisal activity where some collectors gathered together. Each participant must bring an antique. The antiques brought by the participants
A number will be given, and each participant must randomly select a number, and then identify the antique represented by this number. After the identification is completed, each participant will also take out an antique for auction. If you do not want to auction it,
When you bring out the antiques that have been appraised, you need to bring two pieces of antiques with you.
One is put out for appraisal, and the other is put up for auction. After all, many of the antiques put out for appraisal are the proud collections of collectors. To put it bluntly, they are used to show off. Such antiques
I'm afraid I won't even be willing to take action.
Chen Ran is empty-handed now. Judging from Wang Zhiqing's appearance, he should also be empty-handed. How can he go there if he is empty-handed.
"It's okay. The treasure appraisal activity organized by Liu Lei is not official. It is just a treasure appraisal activity in a private circle. Besides, the treasure appraisal activity is also organized by Liu Lei. If we want to go in, can he still refuse to let us in..."
Chen Ran nodded and then remembered that Liu Lei was the vice president of the Collection Association. With Liu Lei here, they would have no problem if they wanted to go there.
Seeing Chen Ran nodding, Wang Zhiqing immediately drove to the place Liu Lei said.
The place Liu Lei was talking about was at the Bird of Paradise Club, not far from Tianzhong University.
It was the peak period in the evening. There were not only many people on the road, but also many people in the club. People were coming and going, and there were also many cars parked in front of the door. After parking the car in the parking lot, Wang Zhiqing and Chen Ran walked together.
After entering the club, he went directly to the door of the room Liu Lei mentioned and knocked on the door.
Without knocking twice, the door was opened, and a head popped out and it was Liu Lei.
"Brother Chen?"
Liu Lei poked his head out and saw Wang Zhiqing who was about to say hello. He suddenly saw Chen Ran standing behind Wang Zhiqing. He was startled. Then he stretched out his fist and punched Wang Zhiqing. He smiled and cursed: "Brother Chen is coming, you
This guy didn’t say anything, so I could welcome him..."
"You're still greeting me. Why didn't you greet me when I came? Fortunately, I called you to inform you that the old man is back." Wang Zhiqing and Liu Lei are also old friends. When they met, they both joked with each other. Chen Ran
Standing aside, smiling at this scene.
"As long as I don't chase you when you come, I'll greet you. It's a nice thought." Liu Lei curled his lips and asked: "How is the old man's health?"
"You'll know how it goes when you go and take a look."
Wang Zhiqing deliberately let it slip, causing Liu Lei to glare at him, but there was nothing he could do about it.
"Brother Chen, I haven't seen you for a long time. When I met Mr. Bai some time ago, he was still talking about you..." Liu Lei ignored Wang Zhiqing and quickly welcomed Chen Ran in enthusiastically.
Liu Lei is an expert in ceramics and has the same collecting hobby as Bai Lao. Of course, in front of Bai Lao, Liu Lei is just a junior.
Hearing Liu Lei mention Bai Lao, Chen Ran felt a little sorry. When he left Zhongdu last time, he left in a hurry and did not visit Bai Lao. However, the last time he visited Bai Lao, he had only been there not long ago.
"Xiao Liu, what are you talking about? Hurry up, everyone is waiting..." As soon as Liu Lei welcomed Chen Ran in, a somewhat impatient voice came from the room, which annoyed Chen Ran and Liu Lei.
They all looked over, but the person speaking was an old man with a big belly.
The treasure appraisal activity in front of us can really only be regarded as a private treasure appraisal activity. There is a conference table for meetings in the living room of the room. There are some people sitting scattered on both sides of the conference table. There are only about ten people in total.
Just a few.
What surprised Chen Ran was that among these people, he also saw Zhu Feng.
He saw Zhu Feng, but Zhu Feng didn't see him, because Zhu Feng's back was turned to him, but the twin secretaries standing behind Zhu Feng saw Chen Ran, and one of them lay down and whispered in Zhu Feng's ear.
After talking for a while, Zhu Feng heard his secretary say that Chen Ran was here. He quickly turned around and looked over. When he saw Chen Ran, he immediately became happy.
"Who do I think is Lao Liu's friend? It turns out to be you, Brother Chen..." As he said this, Zhu Feng quickly stood up and greeted Chen Ran with a smile.
"Brother Feng, are you here too?"
Chen Ran was also a little surprised, but as soon as he said the words, he was relieved. This is probably the only one in Tianzhong City that holds such treasure appraisal activities. Zhu Feng is also in this industry, so it is not strange to appear here.
things.
"Haha, why can't I be here..."
Hearing Chen Ran's words, Zhu Feng suddenly burst into laughter as if he had heard a very funny joke. Chen Ran was a little confused when he laughed. Fortunately, Liu Lei explained to him immediately. It turned out that the owner of the Bird of Paradise Club was
Zhu Feng.
Zhu Feng is in the oil transportation business. He opened this entertainment club not to make money, but mainly to have a place for his own leisure and entertainment.
After listening to Liu Lei's explanation, Chen Ran suddenly realized that when he entered the club, he didn't look carefully. Now thinking about it, this club is still very high-end, and it is considered top-notch in a second-tier city like Tianzhong.
The clubhouse.
"Brother Feng, if I come here to play in the future, you can't charge me."
Chen Ran didn't expect that he would come to Zhu Feng's territory.
Zhu Feng laughed: "You don't have to say this..."
After finishing speaking, Zhu Feng actually told the secretary on the spot: "You know what to do, keep explaining it, from now on when Brother Chen comes here, it will be like coming here for me."
The secretary nodded and walked out of the room.
"Brother Feng..."
Zhu Feng was so direct that Chen Ran was immediately dumbfounded. He was just joking. He rarely came to such a place, but he didn't expect Zhu Feng to explain it like this on the spot.
Not to mention Chen Ran was dumbfounded, Liu Lei and Wang Zhiqing were also a little dumbfounded. Although they knew that Chen Ran and Zhu Feng knew each other, they didn't expect that Chen Ran and Zhu Feng's relationship would be so good.
Originally, those people sitting and waiting in the living room were very impatient. Now that they saw Zhu Feng talking so affectionately to Chen Ran, they were still a little impatient. Especially Zhu Feng's direct explanation made them even more impatient.
Their jaws almost dropped to the ground. They had never seen Zhu Feng treat someone so affectionately.
Of course, there are exceptions. This exception is the fat old man who urged Liu Lei just now. The fat old man’s surname is Huang. He is a retired cadre. He has been retired for many years. After retirement, he also started collecting. The biological mother of Huang Old Man and Zhu Feng is
The old cousin relationship, relying on this relative, is not so afraid of Zhu Feng.
Hearing Zhu Feng's explanation to his secretary, it really made him jealous. When he came to Zhu Feng's club, he settled the accounts as he wanted. The only difference was that the people in the club were more polite to him. This was also his reason.
The reason why he likes to run here is that although it costs a lot to play here, he enjoys the feeling of being respected by those under Zhu Feng.
Zhu Feng's attitude towards Chen Ran now makes him jealous. I am still your uncle. You don't kiss your uncle, but you kiss such an outsider. You are really a white-eyed wolf.
"I said, little madman, what are you doing with your ink? We are still waiting for the die-casting scene..." Old Man Huang muttered angrily.
While Zhu Feng welcomed Chen Ran over, he was talking enthusiastically to Chen Ran. Old Man Huang suddenly interrupted, which made him angry.
"Don't you rely on your old age here. Didn't you see that I was entertaining Brother Chen? If you are impatient, just get out..." Zhu Feng's attitude towards Chen Ran was good, but his attitude towards Old Man Huang was not so good.
This sentence can be said to have left him no face at all.
After Zhu Feng finished speaking, he ignored him and invited Chen Ran to sit next to him. Wang Zhiqing also sat next to Chen Ran.
Hearing Zhu Feng's words, the dissatisfied old man Huang felt even more angry. He almost turned against Zhu Feng on the spot, but when he saw other people looking at him with amusement, he immediately controlled his anger.
But he snorted loudly.
Seeing his appearance, the others all laughed to themselves that you, an old guy, are quite sensible. They didn't even think about how Crazy Zhu got the title. Are you looking for excitement in front of Crazy Zhu?
After sitting down, Chen Ran realized that the treasure appraisal activity was over. Fortunately, the treasure appraisal was over, and there would be an auction next.
"If anyone has any good things, show them out. Don't hide them and choke. It's time to take action!"
Liu Lei patted the table lightly, coughed twice to clear his throat, and then announced that he was the organizer of this treasure appraisal event, so naturally he also acted as the host.
But before anyone could show the thing, Old Man Huang suddenly stood up and looked at Chen Ran with a smile on his face.
"Wait a minute, our rules cannot be broken. Each participant must appraise an antique. The two people who just came have not appraised it yet... There is no need to go to so much trouble. It just so happens that I have something here.
Let this little brother appreciate it."
As Old Man Huang spoke, he took out a strange thing that Chen Ran had never seen before and handed it to Chen Ran.
