He is paranoid and warm

When Xiao Yu entered, he saw from afar that she leaned her head over and almost rested on the shoulder of the man next to her.

His brows furrowed slightly.

As she got closer, she saw Zong Chizhi also lowering his head and talking to her with an obvious smile on his face.

Zong Chizhi is usually the more serious one in their group. Due to their professional relationship, even though he only occasionally acts as Xiao Yu's driver, he does not allow Zong Chizhi to be frivolous.

Now it's a good laugh.

Zong Chizhi looked up as if he had sensed something and just happened to see Yu Ge.

Then the smile on his face disappeared automatically, and he stood up from his chair automatically.

Sheng Shushu didn't understand what was going on, so she turned around and saw Xiao Yu coming.

So fast?

"Is your friend okay?" she asked in a low voice.

Xiao Yu took his seat first, and then said calmly: "I'll visit you tomorrow."

If you have to make a special visit, he must be a very important friend.

Chen Yu? Shen Zui? Zong Yiheng?

"Who's in the hospital?" she asked.

Xiao Yu only said: "You don't know him."

Sheng Shushu paused. How could she not know his friends? It seemed that he didn't want her to know.

No more questions.

The auction went smoothly.

Until the first fake appeared.

Because Sheng Shushu had picked them out for the Chen father and daughter in advance, they knew about it themselves, but the procedure remained unchanged.

A jade lotus, including the base, is about the same size as a box of tissues. There is only a small piece of the actual jade body, but because it is a natural product, it is very rare.

The auction price of five million is considered low.

Chen Xingfu's meaning was also very clear: "Jia Shang's auction this time is mainly for charity, so the prices will not be too high. Thank you all for taking the time to come and support us today."

"We won't let you spend too much money today. All the proceeds from the auction will be used for charity."

What that means is that although the starting price of this jade lotus is high, it is not expensive, and each price increase is not outrageous.

Logically speaking, this process should go smoothly.

Unfortunately, when the price of Yu Lian reached only eight million, some people raised doubts.

Mr. Chen, although this jade lotus is natural, its size and color are not quite in line with its value, right?

Just question the starting price.

Sheng Shushu knew that this person had colluded with the original seller of the jade lotus to Chen Xingfu.

This person first raised doubts, then took a photo, and took the opportunity to ask Chen Xingfu's Jiashang to do an appraisal for him on the spot.

The auction company does have this service, but few people would ask for it on the spot.

Since they had proposed it, Chen Xingfu couldn't refuse in front of all the VIPs.

Chen Xingfu still smiled politely and patiently, "If Mr. Ma feels that the price is unreasonable, you can give up."

But Mr. Ma did not give up. "I like this thing very much. My daughter also likes to appreciate jade. I plan to take a picture of it and give it to her as a gift. It is also a good thing to do charity and accumulate virtue for the child."

He added: "But, I may need to trouble Mr. Chen to examine it for me in person."

Of course Chen Xingfu agreed, "Okay."

Everyone knows that Jiashang Auction House is different from other auction companies and many things are more flexible.

This is also the reason why Jiashang was almost bankrupt, but ended up becoming so popular again.

Therefore, the VIPs were not surprised when this incident occurred on the spot and the guests' request was easily agreed to.

The auction was paused to allow Mr. Ma to identify the jade lotus.

The appraiser is a national senior appraiser, who was selected by Jiashang after he applied for the auction.

The identification process took a little too long, which created suspense and made the customer gradually impatient.

Finally, someone couldn't help but talk about it.

"It takes so long?"

“Is there something wrong with the thing?”

"Or the identification level is not good enough."

"Jia Shang now seems to be getting more and more..."

The voices suddenly fell silent, and everyone looked in the direction of the appraiser on the stage.

The appraiser had a serious expression on his face and frowned. He looked at Chen Xingfu several times, then walked up to him and almost whispered.

Chen Xingfu did not lower his head to listen, but turned on the microphone, "If the appraiser has anything to say, just say it directly, it doesn't matter."

The appraiser smiled politely at the auctioneer and said, "This jade lotus is 80% fake."

There was an uproar below!

One of them reacted most strongly, "Mr. Chen, how could this happen? What I sold to you was genuine stuff!"

"When it was transferred to you, it became a fake and was auctioned off. Are you trying to use the bosses' money to do fake charity?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere became heated.

You can choose not to do charity, but if you do fake charity, you will be criticized!

Chen Xingfu was still standing on the stage, frowning, "Everyone, please be patient! I guarantee that the collection has not been rotated in any way since it came into my hands. As long as it is authentic, it must be authentic!"

"What do you mean?" The person just now started talking again.

He even stood up and said, "Mr. Chen, are you questioning whether the product I gave you was a fake?"

As soon as that person stood up, all the distinguished guests who came today could naturally see him.

It turns out that he is a veteran in the collection world, Mr. Meng.

Mr. Meng was filled with righteous indignation. "Mr. Chen, I regard you as a good friend and I support your auction house for charity. How can you turn the tables like this?"

Chen Xingfu also looked apologetic. "Don't worry, this is just one appraiser's one-sided statement. Jiashang even hired its own appraiser today."

Sheng Shushu stood up from his seat amid the bustling discussions of the guests.

Xiao Yu glanced at her high heels, which were equivalent to stilts to him.

His brows furrowed slightly.

When she stood up, he supported her until she stood firmly.

As Sheng Shushu walked forward, he could hear the questioning voices from the people below.

Mr. Ma spoke directly into the microphone, "Mr. Chen is using this kind of immature girl to deceive people? Does she have a certificate?"

Sheng Shushu has arrived on stage.

She took the microphone from Chen Xingfu and smiled elegantly, "Sorry, I don't have a certificate for the time being."

There was another uproar below.

Sheng Shushu was not in a hurry and waited for them to finish arguing with a smile.

Then he continued to speak slowly: "But I am 100% accurate. This jade lotus is authentic."

The appraiser at the side suddenly looked unhappy, "Miss, the appraisal at the auction is subject to legal responsibility."

Sheng Shushu tilted his head and smiled, "So, sir, you should prepare two sets of clothes, in case you have nothing to wear when you enter prison. Winter is coming soon."

The appraiser looked grim.

Sheng Shushu turned to face the auctioneers and said, "The collection is genuine. Can you continue to bid, or... will Mr. Ma decide?"

Mr. Ma is not stupid. He already knew it was fake, so he hummed, "You have the final say?"

"What she says counts." A voice came from the door over there, the voice was like a loud bell, very majestic.
