Chapter 84 Casual Reminiscences

When Cheng Mai looked at him, Shang Xingjian smiled slightly, a smile that was undeniably irritating.

Compared to the empty thatched hut, the items on the display shelves were more valuable, so Cheng Mai went there to look for things.

The older the calligraphy and paintings, the more valuable they are, but porcelain and jade are even more expensive. Cheng Mai was a little conflicted about what to take with him.

“That white porcelain Yuyao tea set must be several thousand years old. It was a gift from a king.” Merchant Jian nodded with his chin at a tea set on the display shelf. “Selling it for several hundred million shouldn’t be a problem.”

Cheng Mai turned to look at him. A king for thousands of years? During the time of division? Before the Qin Dynasty unified the country?

This thing has been around longer than she's been reincarnated!
Cheng Mai examined the tea set closely. The white teapot was free of any impurities, and the curves of the body and spout were just right, making it pleasing to the eye. Even the feel of it was warm and smooth to the touch.

This is actually a craft passed down from our ancestors for thousands of years?
She dared to assert that even today, with technology and ruthless work, it would be impossible to reach that level.

"Wouldn't it be a waste to sell just this one set?"

"Isn't everything here a unique piece?" Shang Xingjian didn't care about these things. He had seen too many treasures in the world. Anything that could be measured in money was not a good thing.

The truly good things are found in mountains and rivers, in the vast starry sky.

Cheng Mai thought about it and felt that what the merchant Jian said made sense. Besides, only unique items are valuable, so there was nothing to regret.

She wasn't a collector herself, and she didn't have the idea of ​​blocking her own path by clinging to a bunch of inanimate objects.

So Cheng Mai took out that set of tragedies and decided to auction that set.

After selecting the items, Cheng Mai went online to search for information related to them. There was very little information available online. This tea set was called: Golden Jade Cup.

A genuine Jin Guang Yu Yao teacup can refract a golden light under sunlight, which lasts for a long time, hence the name.

Cheng Mai picked up a cup and looked out the window at the sunlight, but there was nothing there.

Cheng Mai: "You gave me a fake product?"

Shang Xingjian was lounging on the sofa, playing games, when he said, "Open the window."

Cheng Mai pushed open the window with some skepticism.

"Extend the cup outwards," Shang Xingjian continued.

Because the windows of the high-rise building could not be fully opened, Cheng Mai could only place the cup outside the window from below. A golden light instantly shone out, not dazzling, but shining brightly.

Cheng Mai was rarely shocked. He subconsciously gripped the cup tightly and took it back, looking at Shang Xingjian with surprise.

"Modern glass uses high technology to block sunlight, so it has no effect on the Jin Guang Yu Yao Zhan. This is one of the main methods you use to identify Jin Guang Yu Yao Zhan now."

Cheng Mai: "So, besides your method, there's something else?"

This price shouldn't be too high.

Shang Xingjian clicked his tongue, "If we really have to talk about it, this is all your fault."

Cheng Mai: "Don't try to pin charges on me just because you think I don't have any memories of reincarnation. How do I know if what you're saying is true or false?" Shang Xingjian clicked her tongue; she knew this person was probably going to cause trouble again.

Shang Xingjian finally put down his phone, sat up straight, and prepared to argue with Cheng Mai. "This matter isn't that far in the past. If you don't believe me, you can ask General Meng An. You were probably two or three years old that year. When I passed by your house, I asked for a drink of water. But you stared at my cup and wouldn't let go. You cried, made a scene, and rolled around on the ground, insisting on having that cup. Tsk tsk tsk, this unreasonable temper has really continued for thousands of years."

Cheng Mai: "..." I don't believe you for a second. You're a wicked old man.

"So there's only one set in the world, but one cup is missing. That one is the one that's left in the world. I don't know where it is now. Who knows where you just carelessly threw it away?" Shang Xingjian said, sighing as if he were blaming Cheng Mai for being irresponsible.

Cheng Mai glared at him, but he lay down again, looking completely nonchalant. "If you don't believe me, go ask General Meng An. He'll definitely remember it. After all, not everyone can spin like a top when they roll around on the ground."

"Shut up." Cheng Mai didn't dare to think about that scene; she had clearly already believed what Shang Xingjian had said.

"If that's the case, then finding the person who has that cup might allow this set of Golden Jade Cups to fetch an even higher price." Cheng Mai thought to herself, then decisively returned to her desk, took a picture of the Golden Jade Cups, and sent it to Zhu Biao, asking him to spread the word that she wanted to auction the Golden Jade Cups at an auction.

Zhu Biao was shocked and immediately called her back.

"Golden Jade Cup! A set! You're auctioning this? No, you actually have this?" Zhu Biao was incoherent, not knowing what he was saying for a moment. "Girl, tell me the truth, has something serious happened to the Cheng Group? If something's wrong, tell me. If this thing really can't be sold, do you even know what it is?"

Zhu Biao already felt that he and Cheng Mai were very familiar with each other, and there was no problem with them calling each other brothers and sisters.

Zhu Biao's words were very impolite, but Cheng Mai didn't feel offended. "It's nothing serious. I'm just a little short on cash lately, and I just remembered that my mother left me a set of things."

Shang Mama Xingjian: "..."

Upon receiving Shang Xingjian's gaze, Cheng Mai smiled and responded, "It's good enough that you didn't say it was my ancestor."

“Okay, then wait a moment. Although I can’t afford this right now, I know someone who definitely can. Just wait for my news,” Zhu Biao said sincerely.

"Okay, thank you, Mr. Zhu."

"Why are you being so polite with me, brother and sister? I'll be relying on you a lot in the future." Zhu Biao laughed heartily, after all, not everyone can rely on Xuanhe Technology as a backer.

But he can!

Proudly puffing out her chest!

Cheng Mai and Zhu Biao exchanged a few more pleasantries before ending the call. Seeing her put down her phone, Shang Xingjian pointed at herself and asked, "Me, your mother?"

"Excuses, excuses, understand?" Cheng Mai didn't see anything wrong with it at all.

"Then why don't you just say I'm your father?"

Cheng Mai thought about it seriously for a moment, "Do you want to be a scumbag, or a giant zombie?"

Merchant Jian: "..." There wasn't a single option he liked. Oh well, Mom it is.

"Besides, my mother is gone. Even if my father questions how this thing came to be, he has no evidence to prove whether it was left to me by my mother."

This was the main reason Cheng Mai said those words, because she was certain that her father would be present that day, and that he would definitely take action regarding the supplier, so she had to be on guard.

"Chairman Cheng, Miss Luo wants to see you. She says she has an appointment with you. Should we let her in now?" Yang Fan asked after knocking on the door, because she hadn't seen the appointment information and needed to ask Cheng Mai.
