Wanghaifeng Hotel. shu yi mi 魛雠

At seven o'clock in the evening, a business Mercedes-Benz parked outside the hotel. Two middle-aged men got out of the car, both in their forties or fifties, in neat suits. They smiled and opened the door when they got off the car. A girl got out of the car.

The girl was about sixteen or seventeen years old. She was dressed casually, wearing jeans and a small white casual suit jacket. Her hair hung softly on her shoulders. She had a peaceful smile on her brows and eyes. She stood in front of the door outside the hotel and peeed in the soft warm yellow light. It is a piece of tranquil sophistication.

The two men respectfully invited the girl into the hotel, and the front desk asked with a professional smile: "Excuse me, do you three have a reservation?"

"The lobby on the fifth floor." Chen Manguan said with a smile.

The service lady at the front desk was slightly startled, and her smile immediately became sweeter. "All the guests have arrived. Please follow me, three of you."

Chen Manguan and Ma Xianrong smiled and nodded, turned around and invited Xia Shao to go ahead. They followed behind and followed the front desk clerk to take the elevator to the fifth floor.

In the elevator, the young waiter stood smiling, but his eyes were curiously looking at the girl in white behind him through the bright elevator wall. The hall on the fifth floor was reserved tonight, and nearly two hundred people came. I heard that they were all wealthy antique dealers from the antique guild! The person in charge is said to be the boss of Fu Ruixiang, the chairman of Huaxia Group who caused a lot of commotion some time ago.

Could it be that this is the girl behind you? very young!

"Ahem! Miss, we're here." Chen Manguan coughed and reminded kindly.

The young waiter was stunned, quickly apologized, and led the three of them out of the elevator.

In the luxuriously decorated hall on the fifth floor, there were twenty large tables filled with people. Tonight is a dinner party in the industry, which is different from a dance party, so no one here brings family members or female companions, and most of the people here are middle-aged men, there are many old men, and there are only a few wealthy female businessmen. , they are all middle-aged.

Xia Shao walked in front of Chen Manguan and Ma Xianrong and was invited into the lobby from the front desk. As soon as she appeared, the chatter and laughter in the hall stopped, and all eyes were focused on her. Some people who had their backs turned to her all turned around the moment she stepped in. These wealthy antique businessmen have been involved in the antique business for many years. Each of them has a net worth of hundreds of millions. They have worked hard in the mall for many years. They have a majestic aura when looking at people. Even if they are just stared at by one person, most people will feel pressured, let alone such a person. The looks of many people looking at each other

The atmosphere in the hall suddenly became stagnant and silent, with an indescribable pressure. However, Xia Shao always had a slight smile on her face, stepping on the golden red carpet under her feet, walking at a leisurely pace with grace.

Such magnanimity can't help but make many people look surprised in their eyes - yo! What a calm young man!

This kind of demeanor, whether it is genuine or pretending to be calm, is already not easy for someone of this age. However, if you think that you can control the situation tonight like this, then you are thinking too simply.

Most of the people who came tonight met Xia Shao for the first time. A few months ago, most of these antique dealers sent things to the auction in the East Market, but not everyone had time to attend the auction. Only a few have died. Wang Daolin didn't go unless others told him.

However, no one expected that during the auction, a press conference would happen and Huaxia Group was established. This would shock the industry into an uproar and focus their attention on this girl. After that, many people wanted to meet her in person to see if the rumors were true, but they heard that she was still studying, so they never had the chance. Tonight, she took the initiative to appear at the banquet of the provincial antique guild, and many people came with scrutiny.

And besides these people, there is also Wang Daolin who is the president of the Antiques Guild. This man is notoriously cunning and narrow-minded in the industry. Fu Ruixiang opened the store opposite him, and he would never give up. Who knows what secret tricks he will use tonight

Tonight is a tough battle!

Whether she plays well or not determines whether this young girl who comes out of nowhere can be recognized by many seniors in the industry. It also determines whether everyone will treat her as a vase of the Huaxia Group in the future, or whether they will truly regard her as a leader and put her on an equal footing with everyone.

Xia Shao also knew this truth well. Now that she is here, she has her own plans.

A stage has been set up in the hall, and a microphone has been prepared. As the chairman of Huaxia Group, Xia Shao naturally had to give a speech before the banquet began, so she took Chen Manguan and Ma Xianrong and walked to the stage without squinting. .

As soon as he stepped onto the stage, before he could turn around, an enthusiastic laugh came from the hall.

"Oh! Mr. Xia, I've heard of you for a long time, but I just got to meet you today. It's a pleasure to meet you!"

The laughter came from the lower left corner of the stage, where the guest of honor was seated. As soon as they heard this voice, everyone lowered their eyes, without even looking to see who it was, they just said in their hearts - here it comes!

Logically speaking, for such a banquet, the person who should be called the host goes to the stage to make a speech first, and then the banquet begins. When the host toasts the guests, everyone can start talking to each other. Saying hello to others at this time is not only impolite, but also means to preempt others.

When Xia Shao heard this voice, she turned around with Chen Manguan and Ma Xianrong with a smile. Her smile did not change at all. Instead, she shook hands with Wang Daolin politely and said, "Mr. Wang, it's a pleasure to meet you. To Mr. Wang, we, China, are the best I have heard about his famous name for a long time and admire him very much. It is really a blessing to have the honor to meet him today."

Wang Daolin had a round face and a smile like the Maitreya Buddha. He waved his hands quickly, "Oh! It's not as good as young people. Mr. Xia has created such a family business at such a young age. It's really admirable."

"Where. We Fu Ruixiang can be called juniors in this industry. You are the elder. I will ask for your guidance in the future." Xia Shao shook hands with Wang Daolin and exchanged greetings, speaking polite words with ease.

Most of the people sitting at the table below raised their eyebrows - they were quite calm. Generally speaking, when someone takes the stage to give a speech, many people will feel a little uncomfortable if they are interrupted so rudely. Just like Ma Xianrong who was following behind now, although he didn't express anything special, his brows were still wrinkled. Chen Manguan couldn't tell that he was not coming soon, and he was smiling like Wang Daolin.

But who are Chen Manguan and Wang Daolin? He is an old fox who has been working hard in the mall for half his life. It's a bit surprising that this girl can compete with the two of them in superficial skills.

"Haha, Mr. Xia is too polite. We are all colleagues who can give guidance or not, so if you don't understand anything in the future, just ask me, Lao Wang, and I will definitely help you if I can!" Wang Daolin laughed, but his words were It's easy to say but not nice to hear. Although he said he was a colleague, he still pointed out that if there was something he “didn’t understand”, he could come to him for help. This is obviously what Gao Furuixiang means.

Xia Shao nodded with a smile, but could not understand the meaning of these words at all.

However, Wang Daolin smiled and glanced at the colleagues in the antique guild sitting below, took the microphone, and said: "Ahem, let me say a few words..."

This move made the whole room suffocate.

Ma Xianrong's eyes showed anger, Chen Manguan was also slightly stunned, and the smile in his eyes faded.

Xia Shao, however, kept her smile unchanged and allowed Wang Daolin to take away her right to speak. There was no hint of displeasure on her face. She stood beside Wang Daolin calmly and allowed him to speak first.

This demeanor made everyone look away from Wang Daolin and look at Xia Shao first.

At this time, Wang Daolin smiled into the microphone, "Haha, tonight is Fu Ruixiang's banquet for all of you colleagues. As the president of the Antiques Guild, let me say a few words first. Mr. Xia has created such a big family business at such a young age. He can be said to be a rising star in our industry. Although Mr. Chen is an old man in our industry, Fu Ruixiang is still very young in the industry. For young people, our peers should give more help. In the future, everyone will be a family. In addition to abiding by the rules of the industry, if there are any good objects, bring them out to open everyone's eyes. This industry is all about discernment. Only by listening more, seeing more, and learning more can our antiques industry prosper more! Haha! ."

After saying this, it was quiet downstairs, and everyone was still looking at Xia Shao. They all wanted to see how she would react when her speech on stage was disrupted by Wang Daolin.

Xia Shao reacted.

She nodded with a smile, seemingly agreeing with Wang Daolin's words, and humbly accepted his speech. She applauded him three times first, applauding him.

As soon as she clapped, the others clapped again.

"Mr. Wang makes sense." Xia Shao nodded gently, smiled and took the microphone from Wang Daolin's hand naturally, "Our Huaxia Group is still young, and Fu Ruixiang is still young. We will go further in the industry in the future. In the long run, the guidance of all seniors is indispensable. I am very happy that all the seniors can come to Fu Ruixiang's banquet tonight, and I am also very happy that Mr. Wang can give some advice. As Mr. Wang said, I hope that we will be a family in the future, and we will abide by the rules and work together. By learning and exchanging experiences, I hope our antiques industry can become more prosperous.”

Xia Shao bowed slightly, with a respectful attitude. Although the assets of most of the people sitting below were much lower than those of China, her "Senior" calls made everyone feel comfortable. Tonight is a banquet in the industry. Although the antique shop pays attention to seniority, everyone here is qualified in terms of age and seniority. However, Xia Shao is a successful young man and Hua Xia's assets are better than most people. They are all profound. In this situation, even adults will have a somewhat high-profile attitude. However, Xia Shao was extremely respectful to tonight's guests throughout the whole process, almost treating everyone as their elders. This kind of attitude and magnanimity won him a lot of praise. Won the favor of many people.

Looking at her since she entered the banquet hall, Wang Daolin took advantage of her twice, but she was not flustered, annoyed or angry, and she was neither impatient nor impatient. Such a character, unknowingly It has caused many people to put away their contemptuous attitude and nod lightly.

Such an atmosphere made Wang Daolin's eyes sparkle, and then he laughed again, "Haha, okay! Starting today, our antique guild has another family member."

Xia Shao smiled and saw Wang Daolin talking. She didn't wait for him to get the microphone, so she handed it to him with a smile, looking very magnanimous.

Wang Daolin's eyes flashed again, with a Maitreya-like smile on his face. He took the microphone and said, "I heard that Mr. Xia started his business with a blue and white plate from the Yuan Dynasty. This blue and white plate was picked up from the antique market. , right? Haha, everyone must have heard of this. We old people also admire Mr. Xia’s vision very much. After so many years in the antique industry, everyone has one or two things that have been missed, but after picking up something like this I have never heard of the big leak. I was also curious, so I prepared an entertainment program on my own. I wonder if Mr. Xia is interested?"

He has said so, can Xia Shao still answer whether he is interested? So he nodded gently and remained calm.

Wang Daolin said: "As we all know, there are very few Yuan Dynasty blue and white porcelains in existence, and there are few available for research. Therefore, everyone is somewhat uncertain about the appraisal of Yuan blue and white porcelain. Even in China, there are not many appraisal experts of Yuan blue and white porcelain. Everyone is very interested in how Mr. Xia picked up this blue and white plate."

Everyone below nodded slightly. Indeed, many people are interested in this matter! How is it done? This has to be said to be quite a legendary thing.

Just when everyone thought that Wang Daolin meant to let Xia Shao tell everyone the details of the situation, Wang Daolin smiled and said: "I, Wang, took it upon myself to make a decision and prepared a blue and white porcelain jar tonight for Xia Shao. Mr. Xia, together with all of his colleagues, will give the on-site appraisal and evaluation as an entertainment show before the banquet. What does Mr. Xia think?"

As soon as these words came out, there was a buzz below.

On-site identification? It was not broad daylight. Although the lights in the hotel banquet hall were bright, it was not natural light, and no one was prepared. No one brought a magnifying glass or other tools. Blue and white porcelain is inherently difficult to identify. Isn’t this difficult for people

Many people who had a good impression of Xia Shao at first were looking at her with worry. Putting aside other things, this young man could tell that he was a good boy based on his courtesy and demeanor. Tonight, Wang He always deliberately wants her to make a fool of herself in front of her peers!

Everyone thinks that picking up leaks does not necessarily depend on eyesight, but sometimes also on luck. It is like winning a big prize when buying a lottery ticket. Even if someone is lucky and wins a prize, there is nothing you can do about it. But if you are in the antique business and have no discernment, your colleagues will not regard you as an expert. Although Chen Manguan is with Fu Ruixiang, Xia Shao is the boss. Working for a person who has no eyesight, Fu Ruixiang must look nondescript in the industry. At that time, I'm afraid that I won't be able to blend in with everyone, and it will be difficult to get recognition.

Without recognition from his peers, Fu Ruixiang's progress in the antiques industry may come to a halt.

Even if Mr. Xia has some discernment, she is young after all, so there is no way she can compete with old guys like them. But she occupies a high position and seeks to achieve her goals in her position. People will not have lower expectations of her just because she is young.

Mr. Wang's stumbling block made him... so cruel!

Some people began to sigh secretly - they said Fu Ruixiang should not have come to Qingshi. After all, he is still a young man, and he has a bit of a temper. If he goes up against a big name like Mr. Wang so early, he is afraid that he will suffer a big loss in Qingshi.

The atmosphere in the hall was undercurrent, but Wang Daolin smiled and gestured, and a waiter from outside the hall came up with a tray. There was a blue and white porcelain jar on the tray. The waiter walked very slowly and his hands were shaking a little - this is an antique! I can’t afford to pay for it if I fall!

The waiter carefully brought the plate to the table at the door. After putting it down, she obviously breathed a sigh of relief and quickly stepped back. The table where the blue and white porcelain jar is placed is on the left side next to the hall door. It seems that it is being passed around from table to table for everyone to take a look first.

This move is considered ruthless. After everyone has seen it first, they all have an idea of what is going on. When Xia Shao comes to see it again, if he says it badly, he will definitely be embarrassed.

There were a total of twenty tables down there, and it took some time to watch and discuss. The sound of low-pitched discussions gradually began to be heard in the hall. Some of the people looked puzzled, some shook their heads, some found something, and their expressions changed, and some looked at each other. The porcelain jar was pointing and pointing, and the atmosphere seemed lively, but in fact it was undercurrent.

Wang Daolin smiled and stood on the stage with his hands behind his hands, looking at the scene below. He occasionally glanced at Xia Shao with his peripheral vision, but saw that she did not have any worry or fear on her face. She did not even look at the experienced man standing behind her. Chen Manguan and Ma Xianrong asked for help. She also stood with her hands behind her hands and looked at the scene below with a smile.

Wang Daolin couldn't help but feel excited, but then he chuckled inwardly. From the time this girl came in until now, he could tell something about it. If nothing else, she was quite calm and calm. I didn't expect that she could still be so calm at this point, but she could pretend to be. He wanted to see how she would pretend!

At this time, Ma Xianrong, who was standing behind Xia Shao, seemed a little worried. He had not followed Xia Shao for a long time, and he only had some knowledge of her demeanor and calculations as a leader, but that could only prove that she led a The group's ability does not prove her vision in antique appraisal. Wang Daolin was clearly trying to make her look embarrassed. Would he like to secretly remind her in some way

Thinking like this, Ma Xianrong couldn't help but secretly tugged on Chen Manguan's sleeves, wanting to communicate with him with his eyes and think of a way to remind Xia Shao.

Unexpectedly, when Chen Manguan glanced at him, he smiled and shook his head, with a relaxed expression and no trace of worry. He had seen Mr. Xia's eyesight before. When he saw the pile of objects in the backyard on the mountain, he almost had a heart attack. She picked them up by accident. Once or twice is luck. If they happen more often, it's her eyesight. Moreover, Fu Ruixiang has been in business for such a long time, and he has always been unsure about items. Every time he goes to see Mr. Xia, she can always tell at a glance that he admires her vision beyond words! Wang Daolin is digging his own grave tonight, and it looks like he is digging a hole for Mr. Xia to jump into. It is not certain who will jump into the hole when the time comes!

Chen Manguan gave Ma Xianrong a "waiting for a good show" look, then looked down with a smile, which made Ma Xianrong stunned for a while.

After waiting for a long time, the twenty tables below were finally read, and the waiter was very tired. He finally completed the final task, handed the blue and white porcelain jar to Xia Shao, and stepped aside.

As soon as Xia Shao took the object, there was silence. The sound of discussion immediately disappeared, and everyone focused on her. The atmosphere was so quiet that you could hear the thumping of your heart.

Chen Manguan and Ma Xianrong took a step forward, followed Xia Shao, and looked over with her.

I saw that this was a blue and white Yunlong lid jar, with a full shape, a round mouth, square lips, sloping shoulders, tapering under the shoulders, and a flat bottom. The cover surface is raised, and a bead-shaped button is placed on the top of the cover. The inside of the jar is plain without decoration, and the outside is decorated with blue and white flowers. The shoulders are painted with intertwining lotus patterns, the lid and abdomen are painted with double rows of dragons and cloud patterns, and the lower part of the abdomen is lined with sea water and river cliff patterns. Near the bottom is painted a cloud pattern. Plain without glaze. The six-character regular script inscription "Xuande Year of the Ming Dynasty" is written horizontally under the outer edge of the jar.

Chen Manguan and Ma Xianrong looked at it and both raised their eyebrows - yo! Xuande porcelain! You have to be careful, it might be a fake.

Xuande blue and white porcelain is a blue and white porcelain fired by the Jingdezhen Royal Kiln Factory during the reign of Emperor Xuanzong of the Ming Dynasty. Because the firing technology at that time was already very mature, Xuande porcelain has been highly praised by future generations. Since the Chenghua Dynasty of the Ming Dynasty, to the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, and even to modern times, a large number of them have been fired!

In other words, there are many imitations!

Among them, the most successful imitations were made during the Kangxi, Yongzheng, and Qianlong dynasties of the Qing Dynasty. They are very similar to the originals in terms of shape, size, and decoration, and especially have the charm of Xuande blue and white!

This doesn't look good...

If you receive Xuande blue and white porcelain in the antique shop, you have to be very careful. You still need to take a magnifying glass to look carefully during the day, and you may have to ask a colleague to help you read it, let alone it is night.

“Mr.

Ma Xianrong showed an angry look behind him. For just a moment, who do you want to see and who dares to give you an accurate answer? Xuande porcelain inherently requires discerning eyes. Whether this object is from the Ming Dynasty, the Qing Dynasty, the Republic of China, or a modern imitation, even if you show it to an expert, he will have to think about it! If you only give people a moment, aren't you obviously bullying them

"Mr. Wang!" Ma Xianrong couldn't help but shout.

Xia Shao turned around and glanced at him with a smile. Ma Xianrong was stunned and stopped talking.

Xia Shao smiled and glanced at the waiter next to her. The waiter was stunned. After coming up, Xia Shao put the blue and white porcelain jar back on the tray and motioned for her to take it down and pass it around.

This move made everyone stunned. Wang Daolin asked: "Is Mr. Xia optimistic about this?"

"Okay." Xia Shao nodded with a smile and asserted, "This blue and white porcelain is not made in the Xuande year of the Ming Dynasty. It should be an old imitation."

The so-called old imitation refers to imitations from the Qing Dynasty, while new imitation refers to modern imitations.

To put it bluntly, new imitations are modern fakes, and old imitations are fakes from the Ming and Qing Dynasties. But because the old imitation is old, it can be considered an antique, and its price cannot be the same as that of a fake. A good imitation can be worth some money.

Xia Shao said this with certainty, and everyone below looked up at her. To be honest, just for a moment, even these people with old eyesight were afraid to make a conclusion, but she was actually sure that it was an old imitation

Wang Daolin's eyes flashed, he was calm and asked with a smile: "Oh? Mr. Xia just looked at it for a while. If you say you can't be sure, I still believe it. I think it's an old imitation so quickly, I want to hear it. That’s why.”

After hearing this, most of the people secretly curled their lips - it sounds nice, but if they really say that they are not sure, you have to laugh at their short-sightedness.

Xia Shao did not look at Wang Daolin, but looked at the people in the antique guild below with a smile, and said with a calm smile: "You must have noticed that the word '德' in the words 'Xuande Year System of the Ming Dynasty' , there is a missing stroke on the word 'heart'. This was deliberately missing in ancient times because of taboos."

Everyone nodded after hearing this. This is a must-see when looking at Xuande porcelain.

"If that's the case, why doesn't Mr. Xia think this is genuine?" Wang Daolin asked.

Xia Shao shook his head and smiled, "Even if it is an old imitation or a new imitation, many of them are imitated and have one less stroke. So this cannot be used as a basis for judgment."

"Then what's Mr. Xia's basis for?" Wang Daolin asked.

"Look at the glyphs." Xia Shao smiled and raised his hand, "Please take a look at the glyphs on this jar. The characters in each era are different. The Yongle style is less, the Xuande style is more, the Chenghua style is fertilizer, the Hongzhi style is Xiu, and the Zhengde style is Gong, Jiajing, Wanli and Hua. And what about this blue and white porcelain? Judging from the bottom font, it is a bit mediocre and dull, quite like the regular Qing Dynasty calligraphy, lacking the agility of Ming Dynasty calligraphy. So, based on this alone, this The jar is not Ming Xuande, it must be an imitation!"

"Then it might be a new imitation. Why did Mr. Xia conclude that it was an old imitation?" Wang Daolin became more and more anxious as he asked, biting his tongue and refusing to let go.

"Among similar objects, the earlier the object, the flatter the shape. However, this object is thick and solid, giving people a relatively relaxed feeling. It can be seen that it is a later work." Xia Shao took his time, smiled decisively, and concluded, "This is a late work." The market price of folk imitations from the Qing Dynasty cannot be high, no more than 10,000 yuan at most!”

There was a buzz down there, and there was a lot of discussion, and people were passing around cautiously and excitedly. The more I read, the more voices nodded in agreement. Many people couldn't help but raise their eyes, looking at Xia Shao with a bit of surprise.

That's right! The lighting in the hotel is not good, so judging from the glaze is too hard on the eyes. You can better judge from the glyph and shape of the vessel! But, despite this, how many people really dared to make a conclusion just now

Let’s not talk about the shape of the vessel, let’s talk about the calligraphy glyphs—the Yongle style is less, the Xuande style is more, the Chenghua style is fat, the Hongzhi style is Xiu, the Zhengde style is Gong, the Jiajing style is Za, the Wanli style is flower, the calligraphy of the Qing Dynasty is quite satisfactory! That's true, but in just such a short time, if you want to identify the differences in these calligraphy fonts, you must at least have an accurate understanding of the calligraphy of past dynasties!

Antique appraisal is an industry that tests knowledge and cultural heritage! If you want to appraise calligraphy and painting, you must be an expert in calligraphy and painting! Otherwise, why dare to draw a conclusion? Everyone here has their own strengths, but I dare not say that everyone is an expert in calligraphy.

This young girl can see the subtle differences in calligraphy glyphs in such a short period of time. What kind of knowledge and eyesight does this have

And even with knowledge and vision, on an occasion like today, if he makes a mistake, Fu Ruixiang will be in an awkward position in the antique industry in the future. In such a situation, everyone would feel pressure, let alone her. When I posted it below, they didn't have this kind of pressure. They were all hesitant and ambiguous, for fear of making a mistake and making their peers laugh. And she actually dared to say it with certainty!

She does have confidence in herself!

Xia Shao naturally had confidence in herself. She had clairvoyance, and as soon as she picked up this object, she knew it was old. But the Heavenly Eye could only tell that it was an antique, but it could not help her determine whether it was genuine Xuande porcelain or an old imitation. Therefore, she has real skills in dating!

This was all due to the teachings of Professor Zhou. Professor Zhou saw that she had a high level of understanding, so he let her go to his home after school every day to study calligraphy, painting and calligraphy. Moreover, he was an old Tibetan fan, and Xia Shao practiced copying calligraphy copybooks of all dynasties , and have a deep understanding of the subtle differences.

After Fu Ruixiang opened, she would go to the store every afternoon after school to learn the knowledge of antique appraisal from Chen Manguan, plus what she learned from Professor Zhou a few years ago, she considers herself to be the best in this area. No one loses!

Xia Shao looked at the various looks from below with a smile and accepted them calmly.

This scene made Chen Manguan chuckle from behind, but Ma Xianrong almost walked away with excitement! He burst into laughter and almost clapped his hands!

Should! Again, you, Wang Daolin, are so smart that you think you can dig a hole for Mr. Xia to jump out of. Who is in the hole now? Do you know

Now Fu Ruixiang is not only not in an embarrassing situation, but has also been recognized by his peers through this on-site appraisal!

This is really unacceptable even if you don’t agree with it!

Through this on-site appraisal tonight, Mr. Xia told his peers that Fu Ruixiang’s rise was not a lucky accident and that it is qualified to gain a foothold in the antiques industry!

This is really a harmful intention. No matter how deep the calculation is, it can't offset the other party's real ability!

Wang Daolin's face changed several times at this moment. Not to mention how regretful he felt, he thought that the other party must have shallow eyesight due to his young age. Little did he know that his calculations had paved the way for the other party!

He didn't mention how unlucky he was in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face. He immediately laughed and praised: "Oh! It's wonderful! I didn't expect Mr. Xia to have good eyesight at such a young age! It seems that in the future he will In the antique shop, there’s not much that an old guy like me can do to help Fu Ruixiang!”

He sounded very emotional when he said this, but the faces of the people below him changed and they all looked at each other.

Wang Daolin is a dominating person in the industry. Everyone knows what kind of temperament he has. As the president of the Antiques Guild, everyone must listen to what he says. If anyone doesn't listen, he will combine the power of the guild to suppress them collectively. He said before that everyone should treat Fu Ruixiang as a family, which can be treated as polite words. Now he said that he might not be able to help Fu Ruixiang in many ways. Doesn't this imply that in the future, all the families will unite to isolate Fu Ruixiang? Ruixiang

This this…

It seemed that he did not want to make Fu Ruixiang embarrassed, so he spoke secretly.

He must suppress Fu Ruixiang!

It's a pity for this girl. The on-site appraisal just now was so wonderful, but it still couldn't change Fu Ruixiang's fate of falling down in Qingshi.

Unknowingly, everyone looked at Xia Shao with some regret.

But Xia Shao didn't notice the change in the atmosphere at all. Instead, she seemed to be very modest about Wang Daolin's praise, "Mr. Wang is being too modest. If Mr. Wang can help us Fu Ruixiang, we will naturally be grateful. Don't I don’t want to say anything, but I do have something going on right now, and I would like to ask Mr. Wang for help.”

Wang Daolin was stunned, and everyone in the hall was stunned, including Chen Manguan and Ma Xianrong.

Wang Daolin didn't expect Xia Shao to actually use the ladder to get down. He really wanted his help, but he couldn't shirk the words after he had said it, so he had to rush up to the shelf. He laughed and asked: "Why should Mr. Xia be polite to me? Yes?" If you need help from someone like me, Wang, just ask!"

Xia Shao nodded lightly, her smile suddenly became a little deeper, she stared into Wang Daolin's eyes and said with a smile, "Really? Then please ask Mr. Wang to remove the Bagua Feng Shui mirror hanging under the eaves of your antique shop first. ."

As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned again.

Chen Manguan raised his eyebrows, while Ma Xianrong looked blank, and suddenly his heart began to surge - he had an exciting premonition!

Wang Daolin's face was slightly suffocated, and for the first time his smiling expression looked a little unnatural, "What do you mean by Mr. Xia's words?"

Xia Shao smiled and said, "Nothing else, I just accidentally discovered that the Feng Shui mirror in Mr. Wang's shop happened to shine into our Fu Ruixiang, so I want to discuss with Mr. Wang to withdraw it, right?"

"W-what are you talking about!" Wang Daolin was stunned, "Mr. Xia, what's wrong with that mirror for you, Fu Ruixiang? It's used in our store to attract wealth and good luck."

"To attract wealth? To attract wealth, please invite the God of Wealth, and to attract blessings, offer turtles. They are all things that are stored in the shop and at home. Why buy a Feng Shui mirror and hang it outside the shop?" Xia Shao still smiled and sounded curious.

"This, this... how do I know this? I also asked the Feng Shui master about the things he invited..."

"Which Feng Shui master? Let him come and meet me." A fleeting sneer appeared on Xia Shao's lips, and she raised her eyebrows with her hands behind her hands, showing a natural demeanor.

Seeing this, the people below who had been listening with their ears perked up for a long time were stunned for a moment and whispered among themselves. It was obvious that someone remembered another rumor about Xia Shao.

I heard that she is a Feng Shui master! Moreover, his reputation is very famous among the upper class circles of Dongshi!

I heard that everything like divination, Feng Shui fortune telling, and home investment are very accurate!

I heard that there are many people from the upper class circles in Qingshi who are her clients!

What's happening here? What's wrong with the Feng Shui mirror used by Mr. Wang? Everyone in the mirror antique market knows that many people watch him hang it up, and he often hangs this kind of thing, but the position is different every time. When someone asked him, he said it was to attract wealth and blessings. Some people wanted to imitate him and follow suit, but he said that this object must be consecrated to be effective, and it cannot be used without consecration. So someone asked him where he was invited from, but he was always vague about it.

Everyone also knew that he was cunning and small-minded, so they thought it was a good thing and he didn't want to tell others. So as time went by, no one asked anymore. Anyway, anyone who opened a store would have a God of Wealth in the store, or a golden toad to attract wealth. Everyone felt that such a mirror was not bad, and gradually they became accustomed to it. .

But from what I heard tonight, could it be possible that there was something wrong with that mirror

According to Mr. Xia, isn't that for attracting wealth

Everyone looked at Wang Daolin. Wang Daolin finally stopped smiling and frowned, "Mr. Xia asked which Feng Shui master did what?"

"Nothing to do. I just want to ask in person, why would a customer give someone a Bagua Feng Shui Mirror if he wants to attract wealth? Moreover, it is not an ordinary Bagua Mirror! An ordinary Bagua Mirror is surrounded by heavenly stems and earthly branches, innate Bagua, and rivers. It is composed of Luo Jiuxing and twenty-four solar terms. On the back, there are the symbols of 'Bagua Patriarch, Four Directions Nobles, and Five-Way God of Wealth'. The Bagua mirror hanging outside Wang's store depicts a white tiger general and a three-pronged artifact! The three prongs are sharp, and the white tiger brings evil spirits. , and it has been blessed, and it goes straight to our Fu Ruixiang! I want to ask, does this Feng Shui master have a grudge against our Fu Ruixiang? Otherwise, why would he give Mr. Wang such a mirror? Not only will the money be withdrawn, but also the time will be lost. If it grows long, will it affect the health of Mr. Ma in our store?!"

Xia Shao also changed his smiling expression, pointed at Ma Xianrong standing behind him, and looked at Wang Daolin with a sneer, "In the past year, Mr. Ma, we have been flustered, short of breath, dreamy at night, and in a trance! I want to ask Mr. Wang , the person who gave you this Feng Shui mirror has a grudge against Mr. Ma?"

The hall was quiet. Looking at Xia Shao with a serious expression, Wang Daolin who was a little caught off guard, and Ma Xianrong who looked angry, they all became uproar after reacting!

What kind of feng shui mirror is used to attract wealth and bring good fortune, but it has been used for harming people for a long time

This method is too cruel!

It's common for peers to fight openly and secretly among peers in the mall, but there's no need to use such insidious means behind the scenes, right? If you lose in an open competition, others will be convinced that you lost, and you will know where you are inferior to others. Being affected by this method, doesn’t it mean that people are suffering without even realizing it

This is too much!

The people present are all old foxes in the shopping mall. As the saying goes, there is no business, no one dares to say that they are fair competition to their peers, and there is no hidden stumbling block, but this kind of stumbling block sounds spine-tingling. Liang, think about it, none of the shops on this street that Wang Daolin liked before went bankrupt. Could it be possible that this method was used

Thinking back on it, everyone couldn't help but be afraid. If Wang Daolin had set his sights on his shop in the past, would he still be sitting here today

Thinking of this, everyone was filled with indignation and looked indignant.

Wang Daolin naturally did not expect such a scene tonight. How could he dare to admit it? Immediately, he straightened his face and said majestically: "What do you mean, Mr. Xia, by asking this? Am I trying to harm brother Ma? Harm you Fu Ruixiang? My Wang Daolin's assets can support the three of you Huaxia! I deserve to do this." ?I have already said that it was given to me by the Feng Shui master who was invited. How do I know that what he gave me is such a harmful thing? "

"Oh? That's really weird. In Feng Shui, the Eight Diagrams Feng Shui Mirror is used to ward off evil spirits. If Mr. Wang told someone that you wanted to bring good luck and fortune, how could they give you such a thing? Mr. Wang's mirror is under the eaves of Mr. Wang's house. I have a feng shui mirror, and I have the ability to consecrate objects, but I don’t know the most basic knowledge of feng shui? How dare such a person become a feng shui master? Mr. Wang can call him here. I want to ask him face to face. , which sect is this, and which master has accepted him as a disciple? How dare you harm people like this! Aren't you afraid of causing karma?"

That's what Xia Shao said, but everyone could understand what he meant - someone who has the ability to consecrate light, how could he not even know this bit of common sense? If Wang Daolin hadn't told him clearly that he wanted to harm people, would they have given him such a thing

Wang Daolin was blocked and couldn't say a word. In so many years in the antique shop, this was the first time he looked so ugly in front of others. He snorted angrily, "Mr. Xia, are you saying that I, Wang Daolin, have harmed others? Whether you believe it or not, Anyway, I didn’t do it! Those who are clean will clean themselves up!"

Xia Shao nodded and smiled, "Okay! Then please ask Mr. Wang to take off that Feng Shui mirror, otherwise, we at Fu Ruixiang will also have a Feng Shui master! At that time, I am afraid that in order to protect ourselves, we will have to sell noodles outside the store. The feng shui mirror is used to resist the evil force of the one hanging in Mr. Wang’s store. However, it’s hard to say whether the competition between the two will affect the feng shui aura of the entire street. "

When she said this, there was another uproar below.

This time someone immediately stood up and said, "Mr. Wang, you'd better remove that mirror!"

"That's right! Mr. Xia has made it so clear, you'd better withdraw!"

"We are all peers and doing business on the same street, why bother with these things? If you want to compete, let's do it openly!"

"And you, Mr. Wang, are already the president of the Antiques Guild. No one in the province can compare with you in terms of assets. Even in the country, you, Mr. Wang, are one of the best! Do you need to deal with your peers like this?"

"That's it! That's it!"

"I really need to keep my eyes peeled for the next antique guild election!"

Among the accusations that came from all directions, someone said such a thing. Wang Daolin was so angry that he trembled all over.

"Okay! Okay! Okay! I, Wang Daolin, have been working in this industry for half my life. Today, when a little girl said something, everyone came to me! Don't forget, she is the Feng Shui master! Fu Ruixiang has With a person like her here, when the time comes, whether her peers will still be able to do business, please consider it carefully!"

Now that he had broken up with each other, Wang Daolin simply stopped pretending and laughed in anger.

Having said that, the atmosphere in the hall became really subtle.

Xia Shao smiled and stepped forward with his hands behind his hands, "Seniors, whether you are a Feng Shui master or a businessman, you must first pay attention to your moral character. Our Mr. Chen has been the vice president of the Antiques Guild for so many years. His conduct is How is he doing to his colleagues? Everyone must have sharp eyes. I, Xia Shao, am young and have only joined this industry not long ago, but you can also ask to see what kind of person I am in Dongshi? Whenever I encounter difficulties, I will ask Have I ever shied away from falling in love with me? In business, we, Fu Ruixiang, can do business well without anything else. We Fu Ruixiang also offer the God of Wealth that you have in your store. If you don’t have anything in the store, we Fu Ruixiang can do it. Ruixiang is determined not to let go! Moreover, we are all in the same industry. If anyone has any doubts and needs consultation in the future, feel free to come to me and I will never refuse! You are all here and can bear witness to these words. It is said that people last for a long time. See people's hearts and don't be afraid that the future will be long!"

As soon as he said this, the atmosphere in the hall became subtle again.

Yes, Huaxia’s boss is a Feng Shui master! Who is a business person who doesn’t have investment consulting? Who hasn't had bad luck? It is better to have a good relationship with a Feng Shui master than to have a falling out!

Moreover, among other things, Chen Manguan is a very loyal person. In the past, when his business was not failing, no one had any problems. Even when the business was not turning around smoothly, he did not hesitate to talk to anyone who was his brother-in-law. Compared with Wang Daolin, this is really a world in the sky.

It's just that Chen Manguan's assets are not as strong as Wang Daolin's, so he takes a deputy position in the antiques guild. If you were to choose based on character, no one would choose Wang Daolin.

Over the years, people have become accustomed to fearing Wang Daolin's tyranny. They have always felt that his strong assets are a wall that cannot be knocked down, so they can only endure it. Tonight, she suddenly discovered that there is a kind of person who can roam outside this place and have a transcendent status!

After this step was figured out, everyone in the antique guild changed their faces. Suddenly someone stood up and said: "Mr. Xia is right, you must first pay attention to your moral character!"

"Mr. Xia is young and promising. When I met him tonight, he had a calm demeanor and quite the demeanor of everyone! You are right, time passes and people's hearts are revealed. We have been together for a long time. We will naturally know who some people are. "

"Yes, let's talk about Mr. Chen. Mr. Chen is a man of justice. This is obvious to all."

"That's true." Some people stood up one after another and greeted Chen Manguan, "Mr. Chen, how long have you been back in Qingshi? Brothers and you haven't been together for many years. Please invite me to a restaurant some other time!"

"Isn't this right in the restaurant?" Someone said something, and everyone burst into laughter.

The atmosphere changed quickly. Compliments and flattery were heard one after another, making Wang Daolin appear alone.

Wang Daolin became angrier and angrier, his face turned redder and trembling violently, and he shouted angrily: "Okay! It seems that you are a family, but I, Wang Daolin, came here by mistake tonight! Okay, let's get together." , let me go!”

He angrily walked off the stage and walked away without looking back.

Wang Daolin left, but no one paid attention to him. Xia Shao spoke on the stage again, and then asked the waiter to start serving food.

At the beginning of the banquet, Xia Shao went down to the table to propose a toast. Chen Manguan and Ma Xianrong followed her. Seeing the compliments and compliments from everyone standing up, Ma Xianrong couldn't help laughing and suffered a stomachache, and Chen Manguan also laughed several times due to him.

Ma Xianrong secretly said: "Mr. Chen, I am convinced! I am completely convinced this time! I have never admired anyone for most of my life, but today I am convinced by Mr. Xia! Why do you think she has so many curves in her belly?" After all the twists and turns, Wang Daolin asked her to trick everyone into betraying her relatives and leaving her!"

Chen Manguan sighed with a smile and pride, "Brother Ma, it is always an honor to follow Xia. You will know later. I think there will be many more surprises like this."

Ma Xianrong nodded, yes, it is indeed a surprise!

He said why after the Fu Ruixiang sign was put up, Mr. Xia reminded him not to go to Wang Daolin and just pretend that the Feng Shui mirror was not there. He originally thought that she would decorate something in the store to neutralize the evil spirit of the mirror opposite. Unexpectedly, she did nothing and actually did something like this tonight!

He said that as the chairman of Huaxia, she didn't have to come to such an industry dinner in person. So that's what happened! She caught Wang Daolin off guard!

Before, he was angry at Wang Daolin for plotting against Mr. Xia tonight, thinking that Wang Daolin acted first tonight and took the opportunity. Little did he know that Mr. Xia's plan was earlier and deeper than his!

Now it seems that who had the upper hand and who caught whom off guard

I thought Wang Daolin was ruthless when he asked Mr.

From now on, Fu Ruixiang not only established a firm foothold in Qingshi's antique industry, but also caused public outrage by causing Wang Daolin to betray his family as soon as he arrived. Just when everyone thought Fu Ruixiang would fall into Wang Daolin's hands, the situation miraculously reversed!

In the future, Wang Daolin is bound to be isolated in the industry. Will the situation of antique shops in the province for many years be shuffled

Ma Xianrong took a deep look at Xia Shao's back. This girl was a legend, and he was lucky enough to follow her and witness the future legend.

That night, a dinner party at an antique shop in the province kicked off a legend.

And the people who witnessed the prologue tonight, after the dinner, spread what they saw and heard about this night like wildfire. Almost overnight, another Chinese wind blew up in Qingshi.

Many people began to be curious, and many people began to look forward to the commercial dance party held by Huaxia Group in Qingshi on Christmas night in a month's time. Everyone who was invited was curious and wanted to meet the legendary chairman of Huaxia Group.

But the legendary chairman of Huaxia Group collapsed in the car and fell asleep after the banquet. It wasn't until she arrived at the school gate that Chen Manguan slapped her awake. She got out of the car with a confused look on her face and wandered into the campus and into the dormitory building. I originally wanted to wander into the dormitory and climb into bed to sleep, but when I wandered to the door of the dormitory, I heard a scream coming from the dormitory!

"Ah! Ghost!"
