antique appraiser

"Everything has to be first-come-first-served, right? I'll appraise this item for Miss Luan first, and then I'll talk about what you brought, okay?" Since Qu Jinglan and Qu Jingshui have different relationships, Wen Liyan certainly won't stand up Mo Jing and Su Meier, when they don't know each other's background, it's better to be careful.

After staring at Wen Liyan for a while, Qu Jinglan nodded, and then sat down to the side, as if she was the master of the room.

Wen Liyan felt uncomfortable, but still looked at Luan Ge and finished the appraisal that should be done.

"Miss Luan, the object you brought is an ancient doll. Although it is similar to many toys, the role of this doll is probably more similar to spiritual sustenance? Some ancient people would regard this doll as a family A member, treat him like your own child."

"You see, the limbs and joints of this doll can be rotated, just like a real person, showing its exquisiteness. And because such a doll lacks practical value, it is very difficult to preserve it. From the era of catastrophe to the era of great revival, It’s been a long time, which is rare.”

Hearing what Wen Liyan said, Luan Ge smiled. It could be seen that she was satisfied with the appraisal result. As for the price?It was appraised for ordinary players. It was obvious that Luan Ge could not sell what his mother had passed down. Naturally, he didn't want to hear such philistine things as the price.Moreover, she was a little distracted because of the people next to her.

This is the end of the appraisal here. Wen Liyan also focused on the few people next to him, so he smiled at Luan Ge, meaning to be sorry. Luan Ge nodded knowingly, then stepped aside, but did not means to leave.Wen Liyan didn't care, and looked directly at the three people over there.

What was Luan Ge called just now?

"Qu Jinglan, assistant?" Assistant to the general manager, life assistant, assistant is too broad a word, and Wen Liyan still can't figure out what Qu Jinglan's identity is.During this period of time, Wen Liyan went to the auction houses and antique shops under the name of Qu Jingshui, and looked at all the precious objects in those places, but he never met Qu Jinglan, so Qu Jinglan should not be Qu Jinglan. A person in the industry under Jingshui?

Qu Jinglan got up and came over when Luan Ge pushed her away, still with a poker face, and after a while she twitched her mouth stiffly, "Mr. Wen Liyan, hello."

Wen Liyan only felt that the other party seemed to be showing favor like this, but it only made people feel more embarrassed. He didn't know how to respond to his words, so he had to say; "Hello."

"Let's not talk about other things, let's take a look at the things I brought." Qu Jinglan said directly, and then waved her hand. Mo Jing quickly stepped forward and took out a palm-sized box for Wen Liyan. Then he gave Wen Liyan a smug look.

Why, do you really think they have found an object that they can't identify?Wen Liyan thought to himself, then opened the box.

Then his expression became weird.

What's this?There are actually two walnuts in the box?

He only saw walnuts at first glance, and before he had time to take a closer look, Wen Liyan looked up at Qu Jinglan with astonishment. He couldn't figure out what Qu Jinglan was here for.It stands to reason that it is impossible for people in this era to know that walnuts can also be collected in Wen Liyan's era, right?In fact, Wen Liyan is very clear that even people in his own time may not know that walnuts can be collected. After hearing about it, they are very surprised and feel very magical.The types and forms of walnut collection requirements are as confusing to ordinary people as heavenly scriptures.So Qu Jinglan brought this pair of walnuts here, is it because she wants to identify this pair of walnuts as ancient unmutated plants?

No, no, walnuts are definitely ancient unmutated plants. There is no room for identification on this point. Why should he show it to himself?

Confused, Wen Liyan asked, "Who are you?"

"This is a precious collection, not just the simple fruits of plants that have not mutated in ancient times." Qu Jinglan stared at Wen Liyan and said, as if describing a fact.

"The fruit of a plant that has not mutated in ancient times is only a carrier. Its preciousness lies in the unique pattern of bumps on it. Even in ancient times, it is also a treasure. Therefore, the value of this thing is not only considered in terms of plants. If it is used as a plant The fruit is only scratching the surface when considering its value."

ha?Wen Liyan listened blankly to Qu Jinglan's words, and felt that the roles of the two of them had changed. Why did it feel like Qu Jinglan was appraising this thing, and he was the one who sent it for appraisal?Moreover, he just felt that Qu Jinglan would not know the real method and value of collecting walnuts, but now the other party seems to know everything and said so many things?

Could it be that Qu Jinglan also passed through?

I was shocked for a moment.

It was clearly a room with a constant temperature, but Wen Liyan felt a layer of cold sweat rising from his back, and it was instantly cold.

When Qu Jingshui exposed him, Wen Liyan didn't think there was any problem. A very important factor was that he had been with Qu Jingshui for so long, and he had brought a lot of benefits to Qu Jingshui. The older one may not treat him very well, but this Qu Jinglan, even if he is Qu Jingshui's relative, but he is not Qu Jingshui himself!Wen Liyan couldn't believe this person, so if this person is the same as him, is the other party demonstrating to himself by saying these things now?What the hell does he mean?

The most important thing is, if what he thinks is true, what role does Qu Jingshui play? Does he know that there is something wrong with Qu Jinglan, or that Qu Jinglan was ordered by him to come to him?Originally he said that he would settle things down, but now is this going back on his word or is he trying to use Qu Jinglan to suppress himself to do things obediently?

The vague anger slowly burned in Wen Liyan's heart, but Qu Jinglan continued: "...So, the price of this item will definitely not be low."

"This is your identification, understand?"

When Qu Jinglan said the last sentence, Wen Liyan was keenly aware that something was wrong even in the midst of her unhappiness.

This is his identification?No, he hasn't said anything yet!So this should be coercion! ?

It seems that he misunderstood Qu Jingshui.

In the current situation, it is obvious that Qu Jinglan is coercing himself to make such an appraisal. He probably doesn't know the collection value of walnuts at all. He just wants to borrow the value of the pair of walnuts that his appraisal is too high, and then exchange for a sum of money. ?

The first thing that arises is a little guilt, towards Qu Jingshui, and then this little clue is thrown away by Wen Liyan. The question now is what is this Qu Jinglan here for?

Before Wen Liyan could come up with a reason, Mo actually chimed in from the sidelines: "Hey, Mr. Wen couldn't even identify such an object? How could Assistant Qu's object be bad? This is definitely a must. There are so many treasures, can there be any mistakes?"

Wen Liyan looked at Mo Jing, who had a mocking expression on his face. What he meant was that since it belonged to Qu Jinglan, it must be precious?

With hindsight, Wen Liyan finally came to his senses. Now it is Qu Jinglan who uses his status to overwhelm others, and wants him to appraise the value of this pair of walnuts very high, so that he can obtain high profits from it. !

But, to be honest, Wen Liyan really didn't know Qu Jinglan.At present, it is only inferred from the name and appearance that Qu Jinglan is Qu Jingshui's relative, but with such an identity as a relative, there is also the possibility of being close and distant or even opposing enemies.

On the other hand, regardless of the value of the pair of walnuts, regardless of whether what Qu Jinglan said is correct or not, an appraiser should have his own ethics.

Never change your appraisal words just because of external force. You can be euphemistic, but you will never tell lies.An object should be true if it is true, it should be false if it is false, and it should be as valuable as it should be.

Wen Liyan is an appraiser who has become a monk halfway through. At the beginning, he didn't even know some hidden rules in the industry. However, after such a long period of time, his life is almost filled with constant appraisals. The environment will change a person.

When he was a student, Wen Liyan was a good student; when he became an appraiser, Wen Liyan would not violate his usual style.How can you be careless when you know that an object you appraise at random may bring you a huge fortune, or make a person lose everything?

In this industry, there are too many people who went bankrupt and bought an item, but the appraiser said it was worthless. They couldn't stand the blow and chose to die directly.

No matter how he thinks about the things that are everywhere in his own era, Wen Liyan has always been very serious when appraising them, never perfunctory on any object, this is the principle.

Therefore, Qu Jinglan opened her eyes and said nonsense, which made Wen Liyan very disgusted.

He didn't look carefully at the appearance of the pair of walnuts. He just closed the box after seeing that they were walnuts. He didn't know if they were very valuable, but his identification would definitely not be based on what Qu Jinglan said. Words change.Don't say that Qu Jinglan is Qu Jingshui's relative or something, even Qu Jingshui herself doesn't know how easy it is to ruin her reputation by making random appraisals, right?Not only Wen Liyan's reputation, but also the reputation of all the antique shops and auction houses under Qu Jingshui's name!

In this matter, Wen Liyan is confident that Qu Jingshui will support him.

Mo Jing's proud expression over there seemed to be sure that he would bow his head and agree with Qu Jinglan's words, which made Wen Liyan even more disdainful. He used to think that other people disliked Mo Jing because of his bad temper. The reason, but now it seems that it is a matter of character!How could a qualified appraiser be like him!

There is also Su Meier, there is a sense of revenge in the eyes that keep flying over, who does she think she is, who will bow her head so easily?In the past, it was just for the sake of Su Ming's face, for the sake of her being a woman, but now... Huh!

"Assistant Qu Jinglan is also an appraiser?" Wen Liyan asked Qu Jinglan in a sarcastic tone, "How else can you say it clearly? I haven't looked at this thing carefully, and you have said so much."

Wen Liyan's reaction stunned everyone present.Luan Ge stared at Wen Liyan with surprised eyes.Compared to Wen Liyan who doesn't understand the common sense of people in this world circle at all, Luan Ge knows it very well.For example, the bad debts of the family behind Qu Jingshui, for example, Qu Jingshui has always been retreating, for his elder brother, Qu Jinglan, Qu Jingshui has always been evasive, and took the initiative to retreat to the antique world, giving up what should have been obtained The support in the political circles, and the opportunity to give up the family marriage that can be an important help... Even Luan Ge feels that even if Qu Jinglan wants Wen Liyan to tell lies about the identification of this pair of ancient plant fruits, Qu Jingshui will let Wen Liyan do the same .But under such circumstances, Wen Liyan refuted the other party?No, he was satirizing the other party, he thought Qu Jinglan's words were ridiculous!

"You..." Qu Jinglan never thought that Wen Liyan would have such a reaction, and in the end, she only squeezed out such a word from her teeth.
