A week later.
Zhengrong Auction House.
Gu Jinyao was in the office and called Qin Ye: "Brother Ye, disguise yourself and come to the auction house. There is a heavy bronze artifact here that will be auctioned in this year's autumn auction. After you take a look at it and confirm it is correct, we can start promoting it. Prepare."
Auctions generally include autumn auctions and spring auctions. The autumn auctions are held from September to December.
Qin Ye responded: "Okay, I'll pack up and go over."
After hanging up the phone, he closed the book in his hand, took a long step, and got up from the sofa.
Put the book in the bookcase.
The bookcases are filled with books related to antiques and ancient tombs.
He asked Gu Jinyao to buy it.
Because of Qin Mogeng's work, he has liked reading this kind of books since he was a child. His favorite place to go, besides the back mountain, is the museum.
Qin Ye took off his home clothes, revealing his tight muscles.
The cast on my arm has not been removed, and many clothes cannot be worn.
He put on a gray-green short T-shirt underneath, and a thin black short jacket on top, hiding his injured arm in the jacket.
Qin Shu bought the jacket.
Black fabric, comfortable and high-end texture.
He is tall and straight, exuding a sense of unruly growth, with heroic eyebrows and sharp features, especially his eyes, inherited from Qin Shu, which are large and deep, with thick and long eyelashes.
The basics are there, and with a little tidying up, it looks cool and handsome.
Wear a baseball cap and a mask and go out.
Even if you can't see his face, he is still a handsome man.
Go downstairs.
The assistant sent by Gu Jinyao had been waiting downstairs for a long time and said politely: "Mr. Qin, our young director sent me to pick you up. I originally wanted to send it to you for inspection, but it was too big and it was inconvenient to transport it. To transport it, I have to trouble you to make a trip."
Qin Ye said: "No trouble."
He leaned into the car.
Twenty-five minutes later.
Arrive at the auction house.
The assistant protected him and came to the conference room.
On both sides of the large conference table, sat the owner of the bronze, three appraisers and two specially invited experts.
The last five were in neat suits and solemn expressions, looking very professional.
The conference table was covered with dark velvet and placed on it was a seventy-centimeter-tall bronze statue.
Although Qin Ye is not highly educated, he reads a lot of books, especially antique books.
After a quick glance, I knew it was a bronze pot with a phoenix pattern and a ring around it.
This heavy vessel has bronze patina and a simple shape.
Judging from the appearance, the shoulders are plump and the abdomen is large, and the shoulders are equipped with double headbands. It is magnificent and large in size, which is extremely rare.
The whole body is decorated with complex and rich layers of patterns, including phoenix and bird patterns, gluttonous hairpin patterns, banana leaf patterns, and a cicada pattern.
The copper material used is densely refined and the casting level is extremely high.
Qin Ye pushed up the brim of his hat and looked at Gu Jinyao, "Can bronzeware be auctioned?"
Gu Jinyao said: "You can't take photos of the ones unearthed from the tomb, but you can pass on the ones passed down. This one is imitated from the Western Zhou Dynasty, and the procedures are legal. All appraisers and experts have confirmed that it is genuine. After you check it and there are no problems, you can go through the process. ”
Seeing him lifting himself up so high, Qin Ye was quite moved.
But it can't be seen clearly on the face.
Qin Ye walked up to the bronze pot, picked up a special magnifying glass, and looked at the pot carefully.
After reading it, he raised his middle finger, flicked it slightly, and put his ear up to listen to the sound.
The voice was low and short, like a bronze from before the Ming Dynasty.
Qin Ye leaned over, put the tip of his nose to it and smelled it.
Looking at the green rust on it, I always feel that something is not right.
He couldn't tell what was wrong specifically, it was just a feeling.
The rust felt a little floating, different from what he usually felt.
Qin Ye narrowed his eyes and stared at the phoenix-patterned copper pot. He pondered for a long time and said, "This copper pot is fake."
As soon as this statement came out, the whole audience was in an uproar!
Everyone’s expressions changed!
The owner of the phoenix-patterned copper kettle looked so old!
The two specially invited experts were immediately embarrassed!
The two experts are generally authoritative in the industry.
They all agreed that this was a bronze ware imitating the Western Zhou Dynasty from the Ming Dynasty, but Qin Ye rejected their view.
Doesn't this slap them in the face?
Those who work in their profession value authority most.
After doing this, how will they still be able to work in the industry in the future?
One of the grumpy old experts slammed the table and stood up, looking at Qin Ye, "Why do you say this copper pot is fake?"
Qin Ye lowered the brim of his hat and said casually: "If I say it's a lie, it's a lie."
The old expert laughed angrily and said, "Young man, you are still young and your knowledge is too shallow. We have already examined this bronze. We used an X-ray screen for chemical analysis and carbon 14 to date it. It is from the Ming Dynasty!" "
Another expert echoed: "Yeah, young man, in this business, you don't have two brushes. Don't make nonsense and make people laugh!"
When the treasure appraisers saw that the experts had said this, they all started talking.
The owner of the phoenix-patterned copper kettle rolled up his sleeves and said, "Young man, you have to give me an explanation today! How did it become a fake?"
Everyone's tongues are full of lotus flowers.
Qin Ye was not a glib person, and he was anxious when he was surrounded by six people with six mouths.
He turned to Gu Jinyao and said, "Prepare a pot of boiling water for me, freshly boiled."
Although Gu Jinyao was puzzled, he still sent someone to get it.
Soon, his subordinates brought over a pot of boiling hot water.
Qin Ye took the pot and poured it on the phoenix-patterned copper pot!
Everyone was stunned and shouted in unison: "What are you going to do? This will ruin it!"
The owner of the copper kettle rushed over to protect him!
Qin Ye didn't respond and pushed him away with his body.
When the boiling water was poured down, the rust on the phoenix-patterned copper kettle exploded!
Everyone was dumbfounded!
The patina was obviously added later!
Qin Ye said: "This is a high-quality imitation, and the counterfeiter is very skilled. The casting material should be made of scrap bronze from the Ming Dynasty. The rust is also scraped off the bronzes from the Ming Dynasty. What is glued on is not copper. It comes naturally."
After being slapped in the face, everyone stopped saying anything!
Everyone looked downcast, like eggplants beaten by frost!
The owner of the phoenix-patterned copper pot was stunned!
He bought it from someone else at a high price and planned to put it up for auction in order to get a good price.
This time the compensation is huge!
Gu Jinyao raised his hand and patted Qin Ye on the shoulder, "It has to be you, otherwise the sign of our Zhengrong Auction House will be ruined."
Qin Ye smiled lightly.
Finally lived up to his love.
After this battle, Qin Ye became famous in the industry!
Everyone in the industry knows that there is such a mysterious boy with a vicious vision!
After leaving Zhengrong Auction House, the driver took him back.
night.
Gu Jinyao came back and handed Qin Ye an ID card, "Gu Beixian sent someone to apply for the ID card for you. Except for the name, everything else has changed. From now on, you and Qin Mogeng will have nothing to do with each other. Please take the time Go and apply for a bank card, and your salary will be credited to your card when it arrives. The address on the ID card is the house your mother bought for you. However, until you recover from your injury, it is safer to live with me."
Qin Ye took the ID card and said, "Thank you."
Gu Jinyao suddenly narrowed his eyes and stared at his face, "Do you want to have a facelift?"
Qin Ye raised his eyebrows, "What kind of plastic surgery?"
"Make your iconic high nose bridge lower and your eyes smaller so no one will recognize you."
Qin Ye resisted this proposal.
Although he doesn't care much about appearance, he still has basic aesthetics.
Qin Ye declined politely: "My body, hair and skin are all inherited from my parents. I'm sorry for the genes given to me by my mother and my grandfather."
Gu Jinyao smiled lightly, "It doesn't matter if you don't have plastic surgery. Others have plastic surgery to make you look beautiful, but you have plastic surgery to make you look ugly. Anyway, you are usually low-key and cover yourself up when you go out. Not many people know you."
Qin Ye hummed, "I've prepared the food, let's eat."
Gu Jinyao's face darkened, "Didn't you say you would wait for me to come back to do it? How can you do it with one hand?"
"I am free when I am free. I was often injured in the past. I can cook and cook with one hand without any pressure."
Qin Ye turned around and entered the kitchen to serve the food.
Braised ribs, stir-fried rapeseed, made mushroom egg soup, and steamed rice.
After taking a seat.
Gu Jinyao picked up a piece of ribs and took a bite. It tasted good. "I can't believe that a tough guy like you can actually cook well."
Qin Ye served him soup with one hand, "No one has cared about him since he was a child. His adoptive mother is homeless and his adoptive father spends all day in the casino. He can only cook and eat by himself. Practice makes perfect."
His tone was very light and nonchalant.
It seems like it's someone else's business.
The bitterness of it is only known to you.
Hearing this, the ribs in Gu Jinyao's hands suddenly lost their flavor, "I didn't expect you to have a harder time than me."
Qin Ye put the soup in front of him, "It's not bad. I don't feel much pain after getting used to it."
After finishing the meal.
Gu Jinyao cleaned up the dishes and threw them into the dishwasher in the kitchen.
He raised his wrist to look at his watch and said to Qin Ye: "Take you out to eat."
"Where to go?"
Gu Jinyao said in a casual tone: "Riyue Bay."
Qin Ye asked: "What are you going to do in Riyue Bay?"
"Su Hua is discharged from the hospital today."
Qin Ye didn't say anything, just looked at him with a pair of big black eyes.
Gu Jinyao was made uncomfortable by his look and looked away, "Don't get me wrong, Su Hua and I have known each other since childhood and we are considered relatives."
Qin Ye said "Oh" meaningfully, "It turns out they are relatives."
Gu Jinyao paused and raised the corners of his lips, "Brother Ye, you have become bad."
Only then did Qin Ye realize that he had become a hermaphrodite without knowing it.
In the past, he was too lazy to talk and wouldn't say a word.
Gu Jinyao started to change clothes, "Su Hua and Gu Beixian are going to have a wedding next month. I have prepared wedding gifts and give them to them together. Let's go."
The two of them went out and got in the car.
On the way, Gu Jinyao called Su Hua to make an appointment.
Forty-five minutes later, we arrived at Riyue Bay.
Gu Jinyao parked the car and opened the trunk.
Qin Ye gasped.
A whole trunk full of gifts.
Densely packed boxes are neatly arranged, including imported cosmetics, jewelry, baby clothes sets, and various valuable supplements.
Gu Jinyao moved down the gift box and said in a natural tone: "I bought clothes for Beixian's children. I don't know if they will have a boy or a girl in the future, so I bought a few sets of pink and blue."
Qin Ye helped him take it down and said casually: "You are very attentive, more attentive than you are when you get married."
Gu Jinyao's hand holding the gift box paused, "Brother Ye, your intersex skills are getting better and better."
Qin Ye was startled and smiled.
I used to be cold-tempered and talk little, so I didn't notice.
These days, my personality is more cheerful, and the genes inherited from my mother are showing.
Qin Ye put the gift box in his hand on the ground, "If you don't like it, I'll change it."
Gu Jinyao stared at his hand, "No need to change, it's good. It means you don't treat me as an outsider."
While talking.
Su Hua walked out with her bodyguards.
The reason why she had just been discharged from the hospital was that she looked not very good and her face was a little pale.
Gu Jinyao felt a pain in his heart and wished he could give birth to a child for her.
Women really suffer.
Su Hua naturally didn't know his strange thoughts.
Seeing that he brought so many things, Su Hua said angrily: "Are you moving the entire shopping mall here? Don't give away so many things next time."
Gu Jinyao didn't even raise his head, "Wedding gifts are only given once, not a second time."
The implication is that I hope you only get married this time and never get divorced again.
Su Hua heard it and was moved in her heart. She was so moved that she was overwhelmed with emotion.
Suddenly, Qin Ye raised his head and looked into the distance.
Then he took a long step and ran forward quickly.
As soon as he said it, he moved his right hand to his waist, flicked his hand, and a ray of silver light flew out.
A scream of pain suddenly came from the car in the distance!
