The attic has all the information about the past and present, and I became rich by becoming a trader

"Grandpa Dong, how did you tell this Hetian jade was from the Zhao dynasty?" Song Youan didn't understand, but she found it intriguing. She looked at Old Dong and asked, puzzled, "Like the bronze tripod just now, you can tell its origin by its forging process, patterns, and other details. But Hetian white jade is only one color and its appearance is also bare, so there are no details to find."

As the only woman in the audience, Song Youan was already eye-catching enough. Now that she opened her mouth, everyone's attention was immediately drawn to her.

Someone chuckled when they heard this and looked at Song Youan and said, "This young lady looks unfamiliar. This must be her first time here, right?"

"Mr. Fu, I invited Miss Song here." Chen Fei nodded slightly and explained.

Seeing that everyone had a smile on their face, Song Youan couldn't help but feel puzzled. Did she ask a funny question?

But she knows what she knows and doesn’t know what she doesn’t know. She really doesn’t understand.

"I'm sorry everyone, I'm really an outsider. I couldn't help asking out of curiosity, so does everyone know how to tell the age of a piece of jade?" Song Youan was even more puzzled.

Will jade leave marks on itself over time?

"Haha..." Old Dong chuckled twice, his eyes fixed on Song Youan. "We're not laughing at you, but everyone has had the same doubts as you when they first started playing with antiques."

Mr. Dong's words made everyone else present laugh.

It turned out that everyone was reminded of their past selves by Song Youan's words, which made them subconsciously show a half-smile on their faces.

Song Youan also laughed, but it also made him feel more at ease.

Chen Fei said to Song Youan, "Actually, there is currently no completely accurate method to determine the historical age of jade antiques."

"That……"

Song Youan was a little confused. Why did Mr. Dong say so confidently that this piece of jade was from the Dazhao period?

The next second, Elder Dong picked up the jade and walked over to Song Youan, turning it over so that the bottom was facing up. "Little girl, here's the answer."

Song Youan took a closer look and saw that there was a concave mark on the bottom of the Hetian white jade.

After careful inspection, I found that the words "Da Zhao Qingyang Year 3" were printed on the bottom.

Elder Dong smiled and explained, "This is called a 'jade seal.' Since the Jin and Northern Dynasties, high-quality jade stones exceeding a certain size have been stamped with a jade seal. The characters and techniques used in the seals vary from dynasty to dynasty, which is why they can be distinguished."

Seeing this, Song Youan held her forehead in embarrassment. She said how could one determine the age of a jade piece without any details just by looking at it. It turned out that there was a seal under its butt.

She made a fool of herself for no reason.

Seeing this, Chen Fei smiled and said, "Don't feel embarrassed. Many people have asked the same question as you."

And precisely because of Song Youan's unintentional words just now, everyone's initial impression of her inexplicably deepened a lot, and it was a good impression.

Song Youan nodded, and then curiously asked Chen Fei in a low voice: "How much is this piece of jade like Mr. Dong's worth?"

"It's hard to assess. Such a large piece of Hetian white jade has never been circulated in the antique market. Mr. Dong spent over 100 million yuan on this piece, but it's hard to say whether it's worth it. Mr. Dong's preference played a major role in his willingness to spend so much money on this piece of jade."

Over 100 million? To buy a piece of Hetian jade the size of a head that can only be displayed for viewing?

Song Youan stared in shock. Although he didn't understand, he expressed respect.

Antiques are indeed a hobby that only rich people have.

At this moment, a gloomy and provocative voice suddenly sounded: "Mr. Chen, have you forgotten the rules of our appreciation meeting? Since Mr. Dong initiated this appreciation meeting, no one has ever brought a female companion to participate."

"You suddenly brought a woman here today. Isn't that a bit of a violation of the rules?"

The person who spoke was Lin Chaoyang, the chairman of Chaoyang Group. His company's main business was also real estate, and he and Chen Fei were sworn enemies in the business world.

In the antique world, both of them are juniors respected by Mr. Dong, and Lin Chaoyang always secretly competes with Chen Fei in his heart.

Unexpectedly, today, the other party actually regarded Song Youan as Chen Fei's weakness, wanting to make him lose face in front of Mr. Dong.

Chen Fei adjusted the gold-rimmed glasses on his nose and looked at Lin Chaoyang calmly. "I have already informed Mr. Dong about inviting Miss Song. And please be respectful. Miss Song is not my companion. She is attending this appreciation meeting in her own name."

Not Chen Fei’s female companion?

Except for Mr. Dong, everyone present seemed a little surprised by this statement.

Obviously, no woman has ever participated in this appreciation meeting. When Song Youan suddenly appeared today, everyone subconsciously thought that she was Chen Fei's female companion, but due to Chen Fei's status, no one pointed it out.

The result is not?

Lin Chaoyang sneered, obviously not believing Chen Fei's words: "Mr. Dong only agreed to your rude request that breaks the rules because he values you, but Mr. Chen, don't be arrogant because of your favor."

As he spoke, his eyes fell on Song Youan, and he sized her up with disdain, as if examining a special worker. "This young lady probably doesn't know this yet? Anyone invited to this appreciation meeting by someone else must bring at least one presentable item."

Song Youan doesn't like self-righteous men, let alone such a lowly behavior as to label their identity as soon as they open their mouths.

Her pretty face sank slightly, and she looked at him and said, "I know that."

Lin Chaoyang raised his eyebrows slightly: "Since you know, then you should also know that you are breaking the rules by coming here."

"Chaoyang, be a gentleman to girls and don't be so rude." Old Dong looked at Lin Chaoyang and spoke in a deep voice.

Lin Chaoyang knew in his heart that Mr. Dong appreciated Chen Fei more than himself, but today was a matter of principle. If Mr. Dong was so blatantly partial, he would not tolerate it.

So he looked at Mr. Dong with a serious face and said, "Mr. Dong, this is breaking your rules! If everyone follows suit and brings female companions, what will become of our appreciation meeting? Wouldn't it be a complete mess?"

"You just heard this lady say she's an outsider, so what qualifications does she have to come in? Just because she's Mr. Chen's female companion?"

Chen Fei's eyes turned cold, but his self-restraint allowed him to maintain his dignity. He only repeated his words once more: "Boss Lin, I'll say it again, Miss Song is not my female companion."

Song Yan in the back was also confused. Why didn't Chen Fei admit that Youan was his female companion?

How did Youan get in?
