Reborn Treasure Appraiser: I Really Didn’t Want to Be an Expert

Chapter 44 I picked it up

Li Zhen looked curious: "What does Professor Wang want you to do?"

There's nothing to hide.

As the saying goes, learning should be applied. It's not uncommon for teachers at the Heritage College to collect artifacts. There are many who are richer than Professor Wang.

Besides, Li Zhen is not a talkative person. Even if she knew, she would not spread it.

"Last weekend before last, the day before we met, I sold Professor Wang an iron certificate... but it's quite rusted, so I need to do some maintenance on it from time to time!"

"What iron certificate?"

"After Li Zicheng ascended the throne, he granted the Iron Certificate to King Lin Yangcheng!"

Li Zhen was stunned and stared: Isn't this the death-immunity certificate?
"Did you buy it from Xiaodongmen?"

"Correct!"

"How much did it cost?"

"Half a million!"

Another five hundred thousand?
The words came to her throat, but Li Zhen didn't know how to spit them out.

The first time it was a feather duster, the second time it was a Buddha statue, and this time it was an iron certificate again?

Calligraphy and painting, wood carvings, ironware, what will be next?
After further calculation, he actually made nearly a million?

One million yuan can buy three houses near the school. Not only are they all new, but each one is at least 100 square meters in size.

If I had to measure it again... Li Zhen really didn't know what to measure it with.

The key point is, Lin Sicheng only took two weeks?
Li Zhen was in a daze for a long time, whispering, "One million?"

"It's a lot, but it's going away even faster: I ordered a Nissan smart electric kiln, the smallest model, and it cost over $50,000 including shipping!"

"No...what are you buying this for?"

"Sister, do you remember those sketches I drew? I plan to piece them together and then burn them..."

Li Zhen was stunned: It was because of those three sketches that Professor Shang was so astonished that she wanted Lin Sicheng to apply to be her graduate student.

"So, just for those three Han-style pots, you bought an imported electric kiln?"

"Of course there's more. If the trial firing is successful, we can try other styles."

Professor Shang said that there was no need to burn them. Even if Lin Sicheng could assemble the three pots according to the sketch, one could still be sold for 20,000 or 30,000 yuan if it was a little less.

Xijing lacks everything except Qin and Han tiles, and they don’t need many. Two or three a month, how many in a year?

If she were Lin Sicheng, she would not choose to pursue a master's degree.

Then, Li Zhen thought again: "So, that's why you asked me to help you find a house, preferably near the school, preferably with a garage?"

"Yes, the upstairs will be used as a studio, and the garage as a small firing workshop!" Lin Sicheng nodded and smiled. "I might ask Xiao Yuzhu for help when the time comes. If I invite you, would you be willing to come?"

"Ah? Help with what?"

"Splicing, shaping, pulling... You can pay me a salary or buy shares. When the machine arrives, I'll find a chance to call Xiao Yuzhu over and we'll talk!"

Lin Sicheng paused for a moment and said, "Of course, it will definitely be much higher than your current salary, and it will not affect your current work!"

Li Zhen moved her lips, not knowing what to say.

It was she who originally persuaded Lin Sicheng to take the postgraduate entrance examination, but it turned out that she was the one who was instigated to do so: since it does not affect his main job and it is in his line of work, why not do it?
I just feel a little strange: why is the gap between people so big?
His classmates in the same department and grade as him, the more outstanding ones are thinking about how to take the postgraduate entrance examination, and the more outstanding ones are at most studying which unit to join after graduation.

The more ordinary ones would at most consider whether to stay in the provincial capital or return to their hometown after graduation. The even more ordinary ones would still be muddle-headed, either spending their days in debauchery or indulging in romance.

But Lin Sicheng has already started his own business and even made millions?
Just this point alone makes Lin Sicheng's excellence dizzying, even if we step out of the category of students: How long does it take for an ordinary person to earn one million?

Is it because of Professor Lin: He is not the only one among the children of school leaders studying at Xi’an University?
Li Zhen stared at Lin Sicheng, but there was no focus in her pupils.

Lin Sicheng felt a strange feeling in his heart: "Senior Sister...Senior Sister?"

"oh oh……"

Li Zhen lowered his head fiercely. "Then I'll find a house as soon as possible... I've already contacted two houses, but the owners are not here yet... I'll call you once I've made the arrangements!"

Lin Sicheng smiled and said, "Please help me, Senior Sister!" "No need, I'll just give you a higher salary when the time comes!"

"definitely!"

The two chatted and laughed as they entered the teaching and research building. When they reached Wang Qizhi's office, Li Zhen finally realized why she had to follow him.

"After the discussion, go find Professor Shang yourself. Don't forget this time!"

"Senior Sister, don't leave yet..."

Lin Sicheng stopped her and lowered his voice, "I also want to discuss with you: if I need to borrow Professor Shang's lab occasionally, what should I tell her later?"

Li Zhen was stunned for a moment, then laughed: No wonder he was in a daze for so long in the classroom?
"Professor Shang has a good impression of you, so it shouldn't be difficult... Come out and we'll discuss it!"

"it is good!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the door was opened with a "bang". Wang Qizhi was about to say something, but was stunned again: Why is this guy bringing a girl with him?

Still look familiar?
"Professor Wang, this is Teacher Li, Professor Shang's teaching assistant!"

"Oh, Teacher Li..."

When he heard that it was Shang Yan's teaching assistant, Wang Qizhi immediately guessed almost everything: Shang Yan wanted Lin Sicheng to apply for her graduate program, and she probably wanted to talk to him in person.

He should have looked for it before, but the guy probably forgot about it, so Assistant Instructor Li is keeping a close eye on him. It means that no matter how busy you are today, you have to go there.

Is Professor Shang’s eagerness to recruit talent a bit exaggerated?
But as the saying goes, a thousand gold coins buy a horse's bones. After comparing the two, it seems that my plan to let Lin Sicheng take the postgraduate entrance examination is unlikely to happen?
Wang Qizhi rolled his eyes and said, "Teacher Li...would you like to come in and sit for a while?"

Lin Sicheng was stunned: No... Do you want Li Zhen to come in, or do you want her to leave?

Is the intention to drive people away so obvious?
Li Zhen was stunned: What's so shameful about maintaining the iron certificate?

Subconsciously, she thought again: Professor Wang wants to establish a new project, and the college allocates the largest and most advanced laboratory to him. Isn't that news?
After Professor Wang joined the company, he focused on teaching practical classes to juniors and seniors. It was no secret that he wanted to recruit talented people and graduate students.

Combined with the fact that he has repeatedly looked for Lin Sicheng, and now he has this expression: Haha, I'm afraid he has the same idea as Professor Shang, so he is guarding against me like a thief?

So, whether Lin Sicheng agrees or not is one thing, but if other professors get there first, how will she explain to Professor Shang?

Li Zhen's heart moved, and she smiled again: "Thank you, Professor Wang!"

Wang Qizhi was stunned for a moment and said to himself: Is this bad?

He overreached and shot himself in the foot.

This little girl looks quite young, how come her brain is so quick?
Forget it, the words have already been said, can I still regret it?

Sighing secretly, he opened the door: "Teacher Li, please sit down first. Xiao Feng, make some tea!"

Then he waved at Lin Sicheng and said, "Come here, I'll show you something good!"

What treasure did you find that makes you so secretive?
He followed behind, and Wang Qizhi opened a box on the coffee table. His face had an expression of both sighing and wonder:
"Today I'll open your eyes: I found a dog bowl at a bargain price and ended up selling it for over a million. Have you heard of that?"

What the hell?
Lin Sicheng was stunned: "Dog bowl?"

"It's still covered in dog poop and thrown into the trash can. Even the rubbish collectors don't bother to pick up the dog bowl!"

Wang Zhiqi was filled with emotion as he unpacked the box. "If you don't believe me, just smell it!"

After taking a look, Lin Sicheng's eyes almost went blind: Isn't this the one he picked up yesterday?
He only sent the golden retriever to Gu Ming's house when he came to school in the morning...

Thinking he was stunned, Wang Qizhi laughed triumphantly: "So, have you learned something new?"

It’s really an eye-opener: How could it be such a coincidence?
Thinking about the guy from yesterday again: The more I think about it, the more I feel that he looks a bit like Wang Qizhi...

Lin Sicheng twisted his face as if he had a toothache and pointed at the basin: "I picked it up!"

"What?"

"I found it yesterday at the Xicang Flower and Bird Market!" Lin Sicheng sighed. "The buyers drove a Beijing-licensed Mercedes-Benz. There were two men and three women. They said they were visiting relatives in Xijing!"

It was Wang Qizhi's turn to be confused: That's right, a Beijing-licensed Mercedes-Benz, coming to visit my relative.

My eldest brother and sister-in-law, my nieces and nephews, plus Ye Anning, the burden, don’t that make exactly two boys and three girls?
