Chen Qiu covered half of her face, and her expression darkened.""Slut, don't think that I won't dare to do anything to you just because you're from the Xu family.|”
"Aiyo, you still dare to make a move?" Before Xu Ya could retract her arm, Lin Xiao had already grabbed her wrist. Xu Ya wanted to shake it off, but she was too weak to do so.
Ye Fan had always been by Xu Ya's side, but he had no intention of making a move. Ever since Chen Qiu arrived, there had been a pair of eyes behind him. Ye Fan knew that the owner of those eyes was Wang Zicong. He wanted to see if Wang Zicong would appear at this time.
In the end, Ye Fan was disappointed. Xu Ya's arm was grabbed and she could not shake it off no matter what. Wang Zicong still had no intention of making a move. He even felt that the pair of eyes that had been looking in his direction had been withdrawn. Helpless, Ye Fan could only make a move.
"Let go." Ye Fan's eyes focused. He grabbed Lin Xiao's wrist with one hand and twisted it forcefully. Following the sound of a dislocated joint, Lin Xiao could not help but cry out miserably.
The small conflict earlier was only seen by a few people and did not attract any attention. However, with Lin Xiao's miserable cry, everyone in the appreciation meeting heard it.
"What happened?" Lin Xiao's miserable wails had yet to fade away when the place was already filled with people. Other than the second generation of the rich and the second generation of the officials, the most people at this appreciation meeting were the rich and the officials. The annual Pure Sandalwood Ancient Zhai appreciation meeting could attract quite a number of people.
Li Quanguo, the chief of Lan Ning City, happened to be talking with Zhang Qunfu, Li Luo, and a few others. He was in the middle of a conversation when he was interrupted by the scream. Li Quanguo frowned and said,"Let's go over and take a look."
Ye Fan had a good grasp of his strength. When Lin Xiao stopped screaming, the hand that was holding Lin Xiao's arm trembled. With the sound of bones colliding, the arm that had been dislocated was reattached.
"What happened?" After Li Quanguo walked over, he asked what had happened. However, when he saw Lin Xiao, his frown deepened.
Although Lin Xiao was not a rich second-generation heir, he was the son of a legitimate official. He was the youngest son of Lin Changyuan, the deputy chief of Lanning City. He was usually spoiled by Lin Changyuan. Seeing that Lin Xiao was able to come out, Li Quanguo was thinking that it was time for Lin Changyuan to teach his youngest son a lesson.
When Li Quanguo saw Lin Xiao, Chen Qiu, and Zhang Zhengqi, as well as Xu Ya and Ye Fan opposite them, he had already guessed the situation. He knew Chen Qiu and Zhang Zhengqi well. To put it nicely, they were rich second-generation heirs, but to put it bluntly, they were parasites.
Originally, Ye Fan only accompanied Zhang Qingqing over and wanted to find a suitable opportunity to sell his prehistoric teapot. He did not want to cause any trouble, but he ignored one thing. He came with two beautiful women. He did not want to cause trouble, but those playboys could come and cause trouble for him.
Young masters like Chen Qiu and Lin Xiao usually did whatever they wanted. Today, when they saw Ye Fan dressed in street clothes and had never seen Ye Fan before, they treated Yerif as a character who was easy to bully and had no background.
Ye Fan did not have a background, but he would not let anyone bully him. He could not bully the people around him either. This was Ye Fan's bottom line when doing things.
"Ye Fan, what's going on?" Li Luo came with the chief, but when Li Luo saw Ye Fan, he thought Ye Fan was bullied."Ye Fan and the others are looking for trouble with you?”
Not only Li Luo, Zhang Qunfu and Wei Quanming also came forward and said in a deep voice,""Ye Fan, Xiao Ya, are you okay?”
"You're Ye Fan?" Li Quanguo had heard Li Luo mention Ye Fan's name a lot in the past two days. Moreover, he had received a call from Zhang Qunfu last night. He had also pushed all the credit to Ye Fan regarding the batch of fake cultural relics.
Li Luo was one of the most authoritative archaeologists in China.
Li Quanguo was the chief of Lanning City.
Zhang Qunfu, Director of the Cultural Relics and Civil Affairs Bureau of Lanning City.
Wei Quanming, deputy director of the Cultural Relics and Civil Affairs Bureau of Lanning City.
Li Luo, Zhang Qunfu, and Wei Quanming were greeted by He Yefan the moment they arrived. As for Chen Qiu, Lin Xiao, and Zhang Zhengqi, they had never looked at them in the eye since they arrived. Even if Lin Xiao's father was the deputy chief, they did not take him seriously.
For a moment, Ye Fan immediately became the focus of the scene, causing everyone to discuss who Ye Fan was. Before the first wave subsided, another wave rose. When Ye Fan had already become the focus of the scene, Chief Shi Li Quanguo's words once again ignited the entire scene.
"You did a good job last night. As long as that matter is carried out, you will be the biggest contributor. Zhang Qunfu pushed all the credit to you.”Li Quanguo said like a young man.
Ye Fan scratched the back of his head and said,"Actually, I didn't do much. It was mainly Uncle Zhang and Uncle Wei who discovered it early."”
"Alright, you don't have to be so polite. If it wasn't for your help yesterday, Old Wei and I wouldn't have found out earlier.”Zhang Qunfu's attitude towards Ye Fan also made everyone present raise Ye Fan's position by a level in their hearts.
"Forget it, Old Zhang, stop being ridiculous here. What's going on with Ye Fan?”Li Luo brought the topic back. He knew that with Ye Fan's character, he would not take the initiative to cause trouble.
Without waiting for Ye Fan to speak, Chen Qiu already knew that things were not good. She rushed to say,"We weren't the ones who started the trouble today. It was Xu Ya who said a few words of justice after beating Lin Xiao up, and then she was beaten up by this kid.”
"Fair words?" "What are you talking about?" Li Luo frowned. Tell my old man again.
"I can handle Uncle Li's matter. You don't have to worry about it.”Ye Fan did not intend to let Li Luo stand up for him.
Li Luo laughed and put on an expression as if he was watching a good show. He said,"Then I won't care." Although he had not been in contact with Ye Fan for a long time, only a few days, he also had a general understanding of Ye Fan's character and knew that Ye Fan would not fight a battle that he was not confident in.
When Chen Qiu heard that Ye Fan didn't want anyone else to interfere in this matter, she immediately became spirited. She recalled her previous idea and sneered,"Ye Fan, right? You're able to come to this place today because you've done some research on antiques. Do you dare to compete with us?”
The appraisal of the Pure Sandal Gourd House was different from ordinary appraisers. There were two kinds of appraisal here. One was to mix the real and fake antiques together and let the appraiser pick out the real ones. The other method was to take out a few antiques and let the two appraisers tell the age and characteristics of the antiques by looking at and touching them.
"Are you sure you want to appraise things with me?" Ye Fan pointed at himself and asked. He was good at appraising objects, but Chen Qiu was just walking into the muzzle of a gun.
"It's not me who's competing with you, it's Zhengqi who's competing with you." Chen Qiu sneered and shook his head.”
"Zhang Zhengqi, please guide me." After Chen Qiu finished speaking, Zhang Zhengqi stood up confidently. Although he was also a prodigal, he was also very accomplished in the study of antiques. Two years ago, he opened an antique shop and the business was very good. However, because he was too prodigal, he couldn't make ends meet. Every month, he had to take a sum of money from his parents to make up for the gap.
Xu Ya, who was a little worried about Ye Fan just now, could not help but laugh out loud when she heard that they were actually going to compete with Ye Fan in appraising items. She had personally witnessed Ye Fan's ability to appraise items. This time, she had full confidence in Ye Fan.
Tan Qing Gu Zhai Appreciation Platform.
The appreciation platform was a place specially used for competitions. At this moment, there were antiques neatly placed on the appreciation platform. They were all authentic, but this was an antique without any labels. Ye Fan and Zhang Zhengqi were competing to tell the history and characteristics of this antique.
"Who's first?" Zhang Zhengqi was obviously very confident.
Ye Fan didn't answer. He picked up the first antique and felt the spiritual energy seep into his eyes. He said,"A censer from the late Qing Dynasty.
"My answer is the same as his." Zhang Zhengqi smiled and nodded at the staff standing behind the appreciating table.
After hearing their answers, the staff member took out a small card from the bottom of the appreciation platform. The correct answer was marked on it. Celadon incense burner, a palace sacrificial incense burner from the late Qing Dynasty. It was collected at the end of the last century and was valued at 200,000 yuan.
Looking at the introduction, Ye Fan smiled without batting an eyelid and said,"It's your turn."
Zhang Zhengqi walked to the second antique and also held it in his hand. He looked at it for about a minute before saying,"Late Qing Dynasty porcelain plate, fired in Dezhou official kiln.”
Ye Fan smiled playfully. The corners of his mouth revealed a mischievous smile as he asked,"Are you sure this is something from the late Qing Dynasty, and it was fired in Dezhou's official kiln?”
"I'm sure." Zhang Zhengqi nodded confidently. He also ran an antique shop. Although he didn't stay in the antique shop every day, he had come into contact with many antiques. He believed that he wouldn't be wrong about things from the late Qing Dynasty.
"My answer is different from yours." Ye Fan pointed at the porcelain plate in Zhang Zhengqi's hand and said,""During the late Qing Dynasty, our country had frequent contact with western countries, and various cultures began to develop. The porcelain of that period was already modified by the Qing Dynasty according to the porcelain of western countries.”
"The porcelain plate in your hand was made with ordinary workmanship. Its shape is formal and has nothing to do with the manufacturing process of that period. How can you say that it was made in the late Qing Dynasty?”Ye Fan asked, making Zhang Zhengqi speechless.
Ye Fan smiled mockingly and said,"This porcelain plate is undoubtedly a product of the Qing Dynasty, but it was something from the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty. Moreover, it is not produced by an official kiln, but something fired by a civilian kiln.”
Zhang Zhengqi did not believe Ye Fan's words. He placed the jade plate back on the appreciation table and said to the staff,"Please take out the tag."
