Hong Kong is in full swing

Her words seemed to carry a subtle hint, making people wonder how long she was referring to.

It came just when Duan Shao wasn't paying attention.

This sentence was said with profound meaning. Yu Wan gently placed the wine glass in her hand on the small table beside her, turned around, and left Duan Fei with an elegant and mysterious back.

Before Duan Fei could continue asking, she had already reacted, offering a glass of wine as a farewell gesture, and turned away.

The back figure looked both free and determined, not at all like the type who would be easily led by anyone.

Duan Fei frowned.

The situation before him made him very confused: Did she come here on purpose to scare him?

Or do you plan to take this opportunity to negotiate some terms?

Whenever people have something difficult to talk about, they tend to become more anxious and uneasy, and this is the case with him now.

He began to realize that in this seemingly ordinary banquet, things might not be as simple as they seemed.

Throughout the night, Duan Fei tried many opportunities to approach Yu Wan through various topics, trying to find out the depth of her friendship with Mr. Gu, or to find out whether she had other purposes.

But no matter what he said or asked, this smart woman always found the most appropriate way to avoid these sensitive questions.

Her behavior maintained a certain degree of politeness and grace, while at the same time making the other party feel a strong sense of rejection.

This made Duan Fei feel both angry and helpless, as if he was facing an extremely solid city wall and had no way to do anything.

As the party gradually came to an end and everyone stood up to leave, Yu Wan also stood up and prepared to leave.

Just then, a crisp voice interrupted her progress.

"Sister Yu Wan!"

An Jing ran over hurriedly and called out the beautiful lady's name in front of everyone's surprised gaze.

She stopped, slowly turned around, and looked gently at the obviously panicked girl, "What's wrong?"

Although she was confused, Yu Wan still maintained her usual good temper and waited patiently for the other party's explanation.

An Jing hesitated for a moment, perhaps considering the impact her next words would have on their relationship, but she finally mustered up the courage to speak out, "I heard from Uncle Gu that you own a gallery. Can I work for you for a short period of time to earn some money and then come find my brother?"

This question was obviously not raised on a whim. It contains some indescribable emotions and complex personal motives.

Yu Wan was very understanding about this. After all, everyone encounters difficulties and wants to seek help, especially family members.

"Are you planning to apply for a job as a gallery salesperson?"

She tried to confirm what specific position An Jing wanted to take, after all, the nature and requirements of each job are different.

"no."

Unexpectedly, the girl in front of her, who looked weak and helpless, actually shook her head and denied her speculation.

"I can identify the authenticity of famous paintings."

Quietly added firmly and proudly.

This answer not only demonstrated his extraordinary ability, but also made everyone take notice.

This statement surprised Yu Wan greatly.

"Excuse me, could you please say that again?"

In order to make sure that she had not heard wrongly, and also to give the girl a chance to prove herself, Yu Wan decided to ask her to repeat what she had just said.

An Jing explained, "If I were a salesperson, I'd have to work at a fixed time every day, which wouldn't be convenient for me. I have to travel a lot to find my brother, so I'm looking for a position that offers flexibility in my schedule and a good salary."

"How about being an art appraisal consultant?"

An Jing replied, "I can see through any imitation for what it is. If you are willing to ask me to take this position, it will only benefit you and not harm you."

After listening to An Jing's words, Yu Wan thought quietly for a while, "Okay, come to my house in three days, and I will consider giving you a chance to show yourself."

Then she gave the address to An Jing, who took it with a happy face, "Okay! I will definitely arrive on time!"

Seeing An Jing so serious, Yu Wan also smiled knowingly, and then called Wei Rongsong to ask for some fake artworks for testing.

"I didn't expect you guys to start a business making imitations?"

"No," Yu Wan quickly clarified, "There's a young girl who wants to join us as an art appreciation expert. She claims that her vision is so sharp that no forgery can escape her detection. I thought I'd give her some paintings to test her skills."

"Oh? How old is this little girl?"

Wei Rongsong asked curiously.

"17 is old."

Yu Wan answered concisely.

"You're really young. Maybe this is just a child's vanity, claiming to be a top master with just a little knowledge."

Wei Rongsong said with some disapproval.

"Perhaps you're right, but since she says she has the ability, it wouldn't be a big deal to give her a chance to prove herself."

There was encouragement in Yu Wan's tone.

"understood."

Wei Rongsong agreed and added, "Then, should we also take the fake of the famous painting 'Serving the Plum Blossoms' with us?"

"Can you get a replica of 'Serving the Plum Blossoms'?"

"It should be possible. We will do our best to help you find the right work."

"It would be great if we could find a replica like this."

"understood."

The prince of the shipping empire is very prudent in his work. He is a veteran who has been through many trials and tribulations. Behind every decision he makes, there are deep considerations and a rigorous attitude.

This is not only a way to control affairs, but also a respect for the people around you.

Three days later, the paintings that Yu Wan wanted were finally delivered to Shengzhou.

She carefully opened each painting, then spread out the real and the fake on the desk, comparing them carefully.

She can easily identify those obviously fake imitations, but when it comes to some fakes that are so delicately imitated that they are almost indistinguishable from the real thing, she can't help but sigh at the superb craftsmanship and feels at a loss as to where to start.

Wei Rongsong had previously mentioned that fakes made by top craftsmen often only leave clues in extremely subtle details, such as the use of rice paper from a specific region, certain brands of ink, and even the unique scent of the painting.

Some people even learn how to blend perfume specifically to make the fakes look like the real thing, so that the fakes have an olfactory experience close to that of the originals.

Yu Wan slowly unfolded one of the imitation works called "Serving Plum Blossoms".

Since she had not had the opportunity to observe it carefully before, when she lowered her head to taste it carefully, she seemed to be able to smell a unique fragrance coming towards her; but as soon as she raised her head, this subtle feeling disappeared in an instant.
