The door of the leisure room was pushed open, and several young people walked in one after another. From their arrogant and lazy demeanor, and from their clothes, it could be seen that they were either rich or noble.
Authentic Beijing accent.
"Xiaohua, Erlong, Stick, you are here. Come, let me introduce someone to you."
Gao Dewei stood up and said a simple hello to the young people who came in, then gestured to Xue Chen and introduced him.
"This is a senior antique appraisal expert and qigong master from Yunzhou Province, Xue Chen, Master Xue."
Seeing such a solemn introduction from Gao Dewei, the young people who came to the club for leisure and fun all tilted their heads, looked at Xue Chen with interest, whispered to each other and chuckled.
Xiaohua and Zhao Wenhua, whose family has a retired deputy ministerial grandfather who is also the leader of this group of young people, chuckled: "Brother Gao, what are you talking about? What Qigong master? You are not making us laugh, are you? I remember
Aren’t the so-called qigong masters all old men in their fifties or sixties? Haha, this one is too young.”
"Xiaohua, how do I remember that Qigong is not superstitious?"
"Qigong? It sounds awesome, but I don't know if I can block the May 4th pistol, haha."
When these young locals in the capital heard that Xue Chen came from Yunzhou, they immediately despised him. In addition, because their families were rich and powerful, they had always been arrogant and arrogant. They laughed and laughed in front of Xue Chen.
He started joking, his tone full of teasing and ridicule.
Xue Chen sat on the soft and comfortable sofa chair, poured a cup of tea and drank it himself. He glanced coldly at these young people who were pampered by their elders, ignored them and said nothing.
"Shut up!" Xue Chen didn't get angry, but Gao Dewei was angry. He shouted angrily, "Why are you talking to Master Xue? Huh? Apologize to Master Xue quickly!"
None of the young men thought that the third son of the Gao family, who had always been cheerful and good-tempered, would lose such a temper. They were all stunned for a moment, and looked a little uncomfortable.
Zhao Wenhua said dissatisfied: "Brother Gao, as for that, it's just a joke."
"Are you kidding? You can't say this kind of joke randomly in the future! You can tell me, but not Master Xue." Gao Dewei was in trouble with these young masters who came from well-off families but lacked education. On weekdays, he was quite friendly with these people.
I didn't pay much attention to some of their inappropriate behaviors and words.
But, it won't work this time. In his eyes, these young men are stacked together, and Xue Chen is not more important to him. With his family background, there is no need to give these young men face, and there is no need to use their time.
But Xue Chen was different. Xue Chen was a unique person he had ever seen.
After being scolded by Gao Dewei, these young men were unwilling to fall out with Gao Dewei, who was obviously more powerful and prominent than them, so they had to restrain themselves, but their eyes towards Xue Chen also showed some hostility.
The thin and tall young man, who was nicknamed Stick, narrowed his eyes and said with a smile: "Brother Gao, we were wrong just now. We apologize. By the way, in addition to master Xue's Qigong, he is also an expert in antique appraisal.
, Ha, it’s really amazing, this is the first time I’ve seen such a young expert.”
"Xue Chen's abilities are beyond your imagination." Gao Dewei did not hesitate to praise Xue Chen. In his opinion, whether he is a senior antique appraisal expert or a qigong master, he deserves his reputation.
Sticky narrowed his eyes: "Brother Gao still remembers the charity game in the club. Since Master Xue is so clever, why not give it a try and open our eyes."
Zhao Wenhua's thoughts suddenly moved, and he also helped in a weird way: "Not to mention the stick, I almost forgot that in order to come here to play, we all donated 100,000 yuan to charity."
Gao Dewei seemed to have thought of something. He touched his chin with his hand and thought about it. He sat back and asked Xue Chen in a low voice: "Xue Chen, do you want to give it a try?"
"What are you trying?" Xue Chen put down the tea cup and asked casually.
"You still don't know that the major shareholder who opened this club is a person who likes to do charity, so he played a small game in the club. A total of 103 paintings were hung on the walls of the first and second floors of the club, among which
Some are real and some are fake. About 70% are only worth 1,800 yuan. Of course, there are tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, and even one or two pairs worth millions. Anyone who enters the club for the first time
Every guest has to make a charitable donation of 100,000 yuan, and then you can choose one of these paintings. If you pick a painting worth hundreds of thousands, then you have the ability and you picked a bargain, so don't complain."
"Oh, that's interesting." Xue Chen chuckled.
"I'll pay for your 100,000 yuan." Gao Dewei said happily.
"How about that? If I pick out hundreds of thousands or millions of high-quality goods, wouldn't I also give them to Brother Gao?" Xue Chen said with a smile.
Gao Dewei laughed: "Well, I won't bother you anymore."
The young masters who had deliberately started a fight listened to the conversation between Xue Chen and Gao Dewei, and seemed confident that they would pick the best ones. They snorted unhappily in their hearts.
"Haha, then we are ready to open our eyes. However, as far as I know, although most of the paintings are not expensive, they are not crudely made. I heard that they are all from Brother Jing, who has a very high level but is not very famous.
The paintings bought from the hands of painters are comparable to those of some first-class painters. In addition, there is no withdrawal on the paintings. It is one-tenth of the difficulty to pick out less than ten paintings worth more than 100,000 among hundreds of paintings.
It’s just a probability.”
Zhao Wenhua crossed his arms across his chest and said coldly.
"Xiaohua, what you said is wrong. Who is this person? A senior appraisal expert! How could you choose the wrong one? Let alone the one worth more than 100,000 yuan. I'm sure you can pick out the most expensive one at a glance.
One piece, otherwise how can you afford the title of self-appraisal expert?"
"That's right, senior appraisal expert, Zizhen, listen, you are so awesome, it really scared me to death."
"Hey, our brothers' horizons have been opened today. We are just waiting to see the performance of this qigong master, no, the appraisal expert."
The words of several young people were full of guns and sticks. It was obvious that they put a high hat on Xue Chen first, and then waited for Xue Chen to miss, then stepped on him ten times or a hundred times.
Gao Dewei was very dissatisfied, but it was not easy to say anything, and he also believed that even if Xue Chen failed to pick the one with the highest value, it would definitely be in the top five.
Xue Chen stood up and said to Gao Dewei: "Since this is the rule of the club, let's go over and have a look. It won't take a few minutes."
When Xue Chen and Gao Dewei walked out of the door, those young men who disliked Xue Chen also followed behind.
Xue Chen stood still, turned around and said, "Sorry, I'm not in the habit of being watched. Please don't follow me. I think since this is a club, we shouldn't be allowed to follow other guests."
Seeing that Xue Chen wouldn't let them follow him, several young people who were waiting for Xue Chen to look away and step on them all frowned.
On weekdays, they are the only ones who bully others. However, a few days ago, Gao Dewei scolded Xue Chen because of a foreigner. They did not dare to look down on Gao Dewei, who had a deeper background than them, so they could only vent their anger on Xue Chen.
If they don't follow, how will they see the joke and get back to the place where they were scolded by Gao Dewei just now?
Xue Chen said with indifferent eyes: "I know what you guys mean, you want to see my jokes? But there is a price to pay for jokes. This is good, I can let you follow. If I can't pick the most expensive one,
For that one, I can donate another five million to charity. On the other hand, what if I pick it out and a few of them add up to five million?"
When they heard that Xue Chen had opened his mouth to ask for five million, even the wealthy young men were shocked and hesitated.
"It's only five million. Since you don't even have the courage to do so, just get as far away as you can and stop being an eyesore here." Xue Chen said in an unceremonious cold voice.
Do you really think he is a sick cat who can be bullied casually? Although he will not be angry about what happened in the lounge just now, it does not mean that he is comfortable. He is just too lazy to get into trouble with others over such trivial matters. But these days
If you want to push your limits, there is no need to be polite.
Being so provoked by Xue Chen, these young masters suddenly became angry with shame.
Zhao Wenhua said in a deep voice: "Okay, that's it! But there has to be a time limit. You can't spend a day carefully identifying each piece. We don't have that much time to waste, at most one hour...
"
One hour sounds like a lot, but on the first, second and second floors, it reaches 103 paintings. When divided, it takes less than a minute to appreciate each painting, and you want to choose the one with the highest value.
Vice, the difficulty can be imagined.
Xue Chen walked leisurely in a corridor on the first floor, pausing from time to time to look at the Chinese and foreign paintings hanging on the walls.
Gao Dewei followed, while the other young men followed behind, all with mocking looks on their faces.
"Xiaohua, do you think it's possible for him to pick him out?" Stick asked.
"What do you think? There are more than a hundred paintings, and if he is only given an hour, even an experienced expert from the Palace Museum will not be able to do it." Zhao Wenhua hummed confidently, staring at Xue Chen with an unkind look.
's back.
When Xue Chen was strolling on the first and second floors of the club, admiring the hanging paintings, he also met some other guests along the way. Many of them knew Gao Dewei and the young master behind him. He asked curiously and waited until he learned about the bet between the two parties.
Finally, everyone was very interested to see the final result.
Slowly, the incident became more and more serious, and finally attracted more than a dozen distinguished guests who were relaxing in the club to come and watch. (To be continued)
