antique appraiser

What Wen Liyan didn't expect was that shortly after Mo Jing went upstairs, the clerk came down again, "Mr. Wen, the boss invites you to go up."

he?Could it be that Mo Jing said something about himself?

Hesitantly got up and went upstairs, Wen Liyan felt a little uneasy, and then even more unhappy.It was obviously that Mo Jing himself was provoking, and he showed no mercy from the beginning to the end, but now he actually complained to Qu Jingshui?what a jerk...

However, even if the other party really sued him, it is impossible to escape at this time, right?

With some suppressed anger, Wen Liyan walked up the stairs to Qu Jingshui's office.

When entering the door, Qu Jingshui seemed to be talking to the magic mirror.Seeing Wen Liyan coming in, he looked gentle and said, "Is Liyan here?"

...Wen Liyan understood that whenever in front of other people, in order to show his "people-friendly" side, this big boss Qu would omit his surname and call him by his first name, so when Qu Jingshui called him so "kindly", He appeared calm, even smiled and nodded politely.Mo Jing, who also saw him coming in, sneered, lowered his eyes, and stared at the book on the table.

"Li Yan and Mo Jing should know each other, right?" Qu Jingshui seemed to be unaware of the embarrassing atmosphere at this time, and still spoke gently, "But let me introduce you. Li Yan, this is the chief appraiser of the auction house. Mo Jing, Mo Jing is good at identifying cultural relics;" He flattened his palms, put his fingers together, introduced Mo Jing to Wen Liyan, and then moved his fingers to ask Wen Liyan, "Mo Jing, this is Wen Liyan. , a genius in cultural relic appraisal, now works as an appraiser in the store."

Mo Jing smirked at Wen Liyan, his obviously hypocritical expression made Wen Liyan have the urge to return the same expression, but after all Wen Liyan knew that he was not as confident in his ability as Mo Jing, even in It doesn't matter if you are presumptuous in front of the boss.So he greeted the other party very politely, even though his heart was filled with the urge to punch the other party's nose.

After the interaction between the two, Qu Jingshui tapped her nails on the table, "Since everyone knows each other, let's talk about business now."

"The book brought by Mo Jing was found from a newly discovered ancient tribe that has been preserved to this day, so its authenticity has already been determined. The key is the content of this book. According to Mo Jing's speculation , what is recorded in this book should be the initial prototype of the characters we use now, and some of the ancient characters on it may be the part that people were still using at that time. If this speculation is correct, then we can pass the current The text deduces the meaning of the prototype of the above text, so as to interpret the remaining ancient texts. At the same time, this book will also become an important material for studying the decline of ancient texts and the rise of new texts-this means that the absolute high price, Or it should be said that the price is definitely over [-] million or even more than a billion."

In business talk business, when Qu Jingshui came across such a book, the last thing she thought of was the money it could bring.And this is one of the important reasons why he has been rejected by people in Antique Street.People who really play with antiques are usually obsessed with the objects they collect, and they are unwilling to sell them for money, preferring to keep them. This has caused many collectors to be rich and penniless.Their collections are their real wealth, and they are simply reluctant to give up these treasures.In contrast, Qu Jingshui played with antiques purely for profit, which made many people feel... contemptuous.Of course, from Qu Jingshui's point of view, the collectors who can gain benefits but don't sell these things are really sick.

When Qu Jingshui was talking about the value of this book, Mo Jing looked rather smug, after all, he managed to get it, and at the same time, seeing Wen Liyan's expression became more and more contemptuous.

That look made Wen Liyan feel uncomfortable all over, so he couldn't help but interjected: "Boss, can you let me read this book?"

Once again, Mo Jing let out a disdainful sound from his lips, and Mo Jing had already shown his hostile attitude towards Wen Liyan.But Qu Jingshui's eyes glanced over Mo Jing lightly, paused for a while, and then fell on Wen Liyan with a serious face.

Then he said: "Of course, Liyan has made some achievements in ancient characters. If you can decipher the part of ancient characters in this book..." He didn't finish the sentence, and he didn't know what he meant.And when he heard the word "of course", Wen Liyan reached out his hand impatiently and took the English textbook.Because of his actions, Qu Jingshui didn't continue to speak when he opened the book, his expression was a little cold, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

No matter what, Wen Liyan still has a strange feeling when he sees the textbooks he is familiar with turned into priceless things in people's eyes, a treasure for studying history.An old book that costs fifty cents a catty... In a blink of an eye, it becomes a treasure worth hundreds of millions. If he holds a book in his hand when he travels through time... suck!Who made him have nothing but a suit of clothes and himself when he traveled through time?And because there is no special place in clothes, it is impossible to treat them as antiques.

At this time, Wen Liyan wanted to read this book, but it was just to win the trust of the two people in front of him, otherwise he would know what it should be without reading anything, which would be too ridiculous.The appearance still needs to be done.

He specially selected the place with Chinese characters on it to read. Although it was something he was familiar with, Wen Liyan showed a very attentive look, and his reading speed was also very slow, as if he was analyzing the meaning of each word.After slowly flipping through a few pages like this, he frowned, quickly flipped through the pages at the back, skimmed through them roughly, and uttered a sound: "Huh?"

"Why, did you find anything?" Qu Jingshui, who had been staring at Wen Liyan, asked at the right time.

Picking up the book hesitantly, Wen Liyan flipped through a few more pages before speaking hesitantly: "This book, judging from the part of the ancient text, seems to be a book that teaches a certain language."

Before he could continue, Mo Jing directly interrupted him: "Didn't I already say that there are comparisons between the prototypes of modern characters and ancient characters? Don't show off what you already know. Tch, playing tricks."

"Mo Jing!" Before Wen Liyan made a counterattack, Qu Jingshui drank in a low voice to stop Mo Jing from continuing to mock.Wen Liyan's expression was cautious, and he was thoughtful. Could it be that he really found something wrong?

Thinking of this, he took a breath and said to Wen Liyan, "Liyan, go ahead. What else did you find?"

"Ah...Mr. Mo said that there is a comparison between the prototypes of modern characters and ancient characters. Is this the part?" Wen Liyan spread the book on his knees and pointed to the word list, "there is an obvious correspondence. But there is a problem, we It is not certain that the writing on it is the embryonic form of today’s writing.”

As soon as the words came out, he stabbed the hornet's nest, Mo Jing immediately stood up, pointed at Wen Liyan, "Boy, you have to be responsible for speaking, but tell me, the text on it is not the prototype of today's text, but can it be What?!" Obviously, he was angry.In the deep-set eye sockets, the eyeballs exuded a sinister light, which made people shudder.

"I've been in the antique business for so many years, and no one dares to doubt my inference. It's clearly the prototype of today's characters, and you can say no. I'd like to see what other nonsense you can come up with!"

Isn't this too overbearing?Almost frightened, Wen Liyan was taken aback for a moment.As long as other people think differently from him, is this the attitude?This Mo Jing is simply domineering and extremely conceited, as if all his conclusions are correct.

"Mo Jing, why are you so excited, let Liyan finish talking slowly, right? What's true can't be fake, what's fake can't be true." Qu Jingshui frowned and spoke, which seemed to suppress Mo Jing's arrogance. Lifting his chin, "Li Yan, continue."
