"Look, it's a fake, but the result is hundreds of years old."
Everyone looked at the color comparison card. Indeed, as Zhang Yuan said, this result shocked everyone in the audience and even made Su Zhanxiong's legs go limp.
"This, what's going on! This is impossible! You must have tampered with it!"
He pointed at Zhang Yuan angrily, with red eyes. If this news spread, he would no longer need to be a connoisseur and could pack up and leave.
But Zhang Yuan didn't seem to hear what he said, and focused on explaining to others.
"The method of using ultraviolet light to determine whether it is genuine is already the oldest inspection method. When it comes to judging antiques, it can only be said that the learning skills are not good."
Only then did he look back at Su Zhanxiong, who was sitting on the ground in a daze, his eyes filled with disgust as if he were looking at garbage.
"Impossible, this is the method in the textbook, there can be no problem! I am a master's student! I know better than you!"
He seemed to be unwilling, struggled to sit up, and spoke with great emotion.
"Hey, the child is too stupid to study? Haven't you heard a sentence? It is better to have no books than to believe in books! You are like this expensive jade pendant, which looks gorgeous, but is flashy!"
He walked up to Su Zhanxiong, playing with the jade pendant and Su Zhanxiong's life.
"This method is no longer effective. Counterfeiters can fake antiques of any era. You have to remember that the method of counterfeiting is always invented earlier than the method you test!"
Zhang Yuan threw out the color comparison card.
Su Zhanxiong glared at Zhang Yuan fiercely and shouted hysterically.
"Even if we can forge the carbon element test time, it still doesn't prove that my jade pendant is fake!"
"Yes, yes!"
"Yes, even if there is a problem with the method, the result is not necessarily wrong!"
Other students also supported him. In their view, they and Su Zhanxiong were like grasshoppers on the same rope.
If people like them with a professional background were refuted by Zhang Yuan, they would really be embarrassed in the circle.
"It seems that you will never give up until you reach the Yellow River. Come and take a closer look at the carving of this ancient jade!"
He looked around the jade pendant, letting everyone take a glance.
When he walked in front of Professor Zou, the sharp-eyed Professor Zou had already discovered the problem, shook his head, and sighed secretly.
Zhang Yuan continued to add.
"The carving techniques of this ancient jade are from after the mid-Ming Dynasty, and the image of the unicorn from the Warring States Period is even more wrong! Have you ever seen textbooks that say that the unicorn from the Warring States Period looked like this?"
The girl who had just been praised by Zhang Yuan also realized something was wrong. She looked at her senior and closed her eyes again. She couldn't bear to read any more. She also knew that if word of today's incident spread, her senior's future would be ruined.
.
"How did you get a master's degree if you don't even understand such simple knowledge? You can't graduate with a fair and tender face!"
Zhang Yuan threw the fake jade pendant in front of Su Zhanxiong. Su Zhanxiong snatched it away and put it in his arms, fearing that others would see the shameful jade pendant.
"Impossible! You are talking nonsense! You have no evidence!"
He covered his jade pendant tightly, lowered his eyes, shook his head crazily, denying all facts.
"It ruined my good mood. I'm bored, so I'm leaving."
Zhang Yuanli didn't even look at the crazy Su Zhanxiong and left the hall as if he were going shopping.
"Brother Yuan! Wait a minute, don't let an eyesore of dog poop ruin your good mood. Just keep eating and I'll take care of it."
Professor Zou quickly stepped forward and grabbed Zhang Yuan who was about to leave. He put him down with an apology on his face, and then looked at the people who were still eating melon in the hall.
"I, Professor Zou, certify that what Mr. Zhang Yuan just said is indeed true! Keep every word true, and I will vouch for it with my academic career!"
In order to prevent Zhang Yuan from being angry, Professor Zou did not hesitate to use his academic reputation as a guarantee. This is rare for a scholar who cherishes feathers very much. It seems that he really wants to be on good terms with Zhang Yuan.
After comforting them all, he looked at Su Zhanxiong who was still collapsed on the ground. Su Zhanxiong was dumbfounded and kept talking about what was right and wrong. Professor Zou felt uncomfortable and angry.
By making such a fuss, not only might his relationship with Zhang Yuanlan fade away, but it might also affect his reputation.
He lowered his face and whispered.
"You are my most valued student, but you act in such a flamboyant manner and offend the guests! You even made mistakes in your best treasure appraisal! I can't keep you!"
The sadness was written all over Professor Zou's face. It seemed that he really had high hopes for Su Zhanxiong, but it also really chilled his heart.
"No, teacher! I was wrong, I apologize to you, I apologize to Mr. Zhang, please, if you don't want me, I really have nowhere to go now!"
Only then did Su Zhanxiong realize how much he had offended. Just because he contradicted Zhang Yuan, even the teacher who loved him the most could not wait to cut ties with him.
He burst into tears and regretted endlessly. The other students could only watch with cold eyes at this moment, fearing that they would offend that adult again because of their friendship with Su Zhanxiong.
"Teacher, you also said that we don't have to worry if we make a mistake in the assessment once, as long as we are willing to correct it!"
Professor Zou's eyes were also made red. He also knew that he just misjudged the age of an antique. This is normal and can be corrected, but now he misjudged the ability of that adult!
One wrong step and one wrong step!
"Forget it, it's rare for me to meet an expert with whom I can talk so well. I don't want my reception to be embarrassing. Let's talk about training the juniors another day."
Zhang Yuan changed the topic and gave people on both sides a chance to step down. In this way, he also won a reputation for being generous. Why not do it?
As soon as he finished speaking, Su Zhanxiong got up in embarrassment, thanked him repeatedly, and bowed. He now understood who was the speaker here.
"Thank you Mr. Zhang, thank you Mr. Zhang!"
"Why are you thanking me? It doesn't count if I say it. I'm not your mentor."
It’s so easy to figure it out! Zhang Yuan was smiling, as if he was not involved, yet he understood everything.
"Okay, get up quickly, this is not a temple, why are you praying?"
Su Zhanxiong stood up in embarrassment, wiped the snot and tears from his face, and his submissive look no longer looked as arrogant as before.
When Professor Zou saw that Zhang Yuan didn't pursue the matter anymore, his expression softened and he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Then let it be like this. Your nonsense today is all due to your poor academic skills. Go back and copy the textbook and copy the content about antique identification a hundred times!"
"Thank you, teacher!"
He was so grateful that he cried again, with runny nose and tears. The other girls no longer only paid attention to this useless senior brother, their eyes were focused on this young and promising young man.
