"If you three don't teach him a lesson, what are you doing back here?" Grandson Mo Yao pointed at Xue Chen and shouted at Brother Dao and the other three.
A flash of embarrassment flashed across Brother Dao's face, but was quickly replaced by determination. He sighed and said to Sun Zi Mo: "Brother Sun, I'm sorry. We are also helpless. We can't afford the big crime of 300,000 yuan.
I can only offend you."
"What did you say?" Sun Tzu Mo looked surprised and had a bad premonition in his heart.
"Do it!"
Without saying much, Brother Dao took the lead and knocked the unsuspecting Sun Zi Mo to the ground with one punch. Er Mao and Xiao Lang also surrounded him, trapped Sun Zi Mo inside, and punched and kicked him.
Sun Tzu Mo was lying on the ground, holding his head and curling up, enduring the attacks of three people, while screams and curses came from his mouth one after another.
"You three bastards, how dare you hit me! Ah, I'm going to kill you!"
He was going crazy. The physical pain was one thing, but the most important thing was that his heart couldn't bear it!
He scratched his head and couldn't figure out what was going on. Why did the three people he brought to deal with Xue Chen turn around and beat him down? Are these three people crazy?
Brother Dao and the other three knew that Xue Chen was still watching in the alley. In order to get rid of this evil star that they hated and feared, they could only wrong Sun Zi Mo on the ground. They kicked Sun Zi Mo harder than the other. After dozens of kicks, they found Sun Zi Mo.
He stopped moving and seemed to have passed out.
Seeing this, Xue Chen no longer stopped, picked up his leather bag and walked towards the bank. Brother Dao, as if he had been granted amnesty, shouted "Zhahu" and led his two younger brothers to flee the scene.
When Xue Chen returned from the original route after depositing the money, he did not see Sun Zi Mo who had passed out. It seemed that a kind person noticed it and called 10. He didn't think much about it and went straight back to the pawn shop. As soon as he entered the door, he saw Shen Wanjun in front of him.
Sitting on the mahogany Taishi chair, sipping tea leisurely.
"The boss is here." Xue Chen stepped forward and said hello.
When Shen Wanjun saw Xue Chen coming back, he smiled and pointed to another chair beside him and said, "Xiao Xue, come and sit here."
When Xue Chen sat down, Shen Wanjun glanced outside, frowned, and said doubtfully: "When I came here just now, I saw a person who fell on the ground and was taken away by an ambulance. That person looked a little bit...
He looks like Sun Jinyang's son, have you seen it?"
When Xue Chen heard this, he knew that he was right, so he smiled nonchalantly and said: "I didn't see it, then why did Sunzi Mo fall to the ground and have to be sent to the hospital? Could it be that he did something bad?
If you do too much, you will be punished."
Hearing Xue Chen's reply, Shen Wanjun was startled for a moment, took another deep look, nodded slightly, and said calmly: "Xue Chen, if you encounter any trouble, just ask. Although I, Shen Wanjun, don't like it,
You may cause trouble, but you won’t let anyone bully you.”
"I know, boss." Xue Chen smiled and nodded.
Shen Wanjun rubbed the porcelain cup in his hand and continued: "The appreciation conference will be held in three days. You may only have a general understanding. I came here to talk to you in detail so that you can have an idea."
"good."
"This antique appreciation meeting was held seven years ago after our three pawn shops, Daxing, Zhenbaoxuan, and Jindian, formed a tripartite situation on this Yongtai Street. After all, we are enemies in the same industry, and the purpose is to compare
It’s a matter of competition. The judges are our five highly respected seniors in the antiques circle in Haicheng City, so they must be impartial.”
"After several years of holding the appreciation meeting, the format has gradually become fixed. The competition is divided into three rounds. It is slightly different every year, but there will not be much change. This year's three rounds of competition were also decided a week ago.
.”
"Which three wheels?" Xue Chen straightened his body and asked solemnly.
"In the first round, the five judges selected twenty pieces from the tens of thousands of antiques auctioned at major auctions in the past three years, cut them into pictures and printed them out, and let the appraiser representatives from the three companies choose from them.
The three items with the highest auction value will be awarded. Each correct item will be awarded one point, and the highest will be awarded three points. This tests the appraiser's grasp of the value of the antiques."
“The second round is called viewing through a curtain. A genuine antique with obvious shape, such as a bronze, porcelain or statue, is placed behind a light-transmitting curtain, and representatives of three appraisers are separated by the curtain.
Look at the outline of the vessel and infer the material and age of the objects inside. The more accurate it is, the higher the score you will get, and the maximum is also three points."
"For the sake of fairness, the antiques in the second round were all borrowed from the city museum's warehouse. No one knows which one they are before the competition begins."
After listening to the content of the first two rounds of competition, Xue Chen was noncommittal and just asked: "Then the third round..."
Speaking of the third round of the competition, Shen Wanjun's expression became solemn: "The third round, distinguish between the past and the present! Our three pawn shops, Daxing, Zhenbaoxuan and Jindian, each took out three antique treasures, at least one of which was genuine, and then drew lots to decide.
The three companies conducted mutual appraisals, not only to identify authenticity and determine the age, but also to estimate the current market price! This round is also the round with the highest score, six points!"
"Well."
Xue Chen smiled and said: "This round is a bit interesting."
Shen Wanjun took a sip of tea, moistened his mouth, and then said: "The first round is three points, the second round is the same three points, and the last round is six points. The scores in the last three rounds are added together to rank first, second, and third.
The pawn shop that comes out on top can choose one of the three treasures presented by the other two as a reward for winning."
"Ah? The two antique treasures together are probably worth a lot," Xue Chen said in surprise.
"That's natural. Regardless of whether they are true or not, the three antiques each house brought out have a superficial value of at least one million, so they can barely be called treasures, and only then can they demonstrate the heritage and courage of the three pawn shops.
So, as long as you win first place, you will earn at least two million."
Having said this, Shen Wanjun looked at Xue Chen and said solemnly: "If you win first place for Daxing, I promise you that you can choose one of the two antiques you win first."
"What? Give me one!"
At this time, Xue Chen couldn't help but be a little surprised. He didn't expect that Shen Wanjun would actually give him an antique worth more than one million. Although the prerequisite was to win the competition, it was already generous enough.
Before Xue Chen could open his mouth, Shen Wanjun sighed leisurely: "Xue Chen, over the past year, I have watched you continue to grow and improve, from a rookie to a famous person in the circle. This is my part as an elder.
Keep your heart in mind, and remember that Daxing will always be your home, no matter where you are."
While speaking, he stretched out his generous palm and patted Xue Chen's shoulder.
Feeling the sincerity in Shen Wanjun's words and hearing the hidden meaning in them, Xue Chen pursed his lips tightly and couldn't help but feel moved in his heart. He breathed a sigh of relief and replied seriously:
"Uncle Shen, don't worry, I will not leave Daxing. You have taught and supported me, and Daxing has also trained me. How can I leave? Maybe I will leave after a long time, but even if I can't serve as Daxing's Appraiser, but I can also work as a technical consultant. If there is any need for me, I will definitely be there."
Shen Wanjun was filled with joy and stood up and said: "Okay! With your words, that's enough. Let's go and eat together and chat while we eat."
…
While Shen Wanjun was talking to Xue Chen, Sun Zi Mo, who was taken away by the ambulance, was lying in a single ward of Haicheng City First People's Hospital. Sun Jinyang was sitting on the side of the bed with a face as heavy as water. People in the entire ward The atmosphere was very depressing.
Sun Tzu Mo was wearing a blue and white hospital gown. His originally fair face was bruised and purple, and he looked quite embarrassed. Brother Dao punched him in the right eye and covered it with a bruise. There was also a cut at the corner of his mouth, which was sewn up. After three injections, the anesthetic was too strong and the corners of his mouth twitched in pain.
"Dad, call the police, arrest Xue Chen and those three bastards who beat me, and make them run around without food!" Sun Tzu Mo said while sucking in the cold air, with thick hatred in his eyes. .
Sun Jinyang looked at his son who had been beaten up by Fatty, his eyes twitched a few times, his face was as gloomy as a leaden dark cloud, as if he would burst into monstrous anger at any time.
Thinking of what he just heard, Sun Jinyang couldn't help but stood up and angrily said: "Call the police? How to tell the police? Could it be that you paid someone to commit the crime, but failed to commit the crime and was beaten by the person you hired? Oh, you, you really embarrass me, you fail more than you accomplish, and you fail more than you do!"
Listening to his father's scolding, grandson Mo's face turned blue and white, his lips pursed, and he could not say a word.
Although Sun Jinyang said he was not forgiving, he still felt very sorry for his son being beaten. He breathed a sigh of relief and said with bright eyes, "Just stay in the hospital and recover well. Don't worry, you have been wronged, dad." I will definitely get it back for you. In this appreciation meeting, Daxing will definitely not win the first place."
Sun Tzu Mo said in confusion: "Dad, how can you be so sure? Although that boy Xue Chen is hateful, he does have a good appreciation for antiques."
Sun Jinyang glanced at the door and saw that it was closed. Then he raised the corner of his mouth and snorted: "Do you think I will hang myself from a tree on top of the boy named Xue? In fact, two days ago, I formed an alliance with the boss of Jindian and exchanged detailed information about the three antique treasures that will be presented in the third round of the most important competition of the appreciation meeting. The first place must be one of our Zhenbaoxuan and Jindian! "
Sun Tzu Mo knew the process of the appreciation meeting clearly. After hearing what his father said, his eyes lit up and he said excitedly: "That's great, ha... ouch."
He was about to laugh twice, but the wound at the corner of his mouth was pulled, and he grinned in pain again, and his hatred for Xue Chen increased even more. (To be continued)
