Huang Hengyuan and the owner of the antique shop laughed mockingly when they heard that Ye Cheng was willing to pay 100,000 yuan for the fake painting.
This confused the junk collector…
"There's Zheng Banqiao's Bamboo Stone Painting here?”A surprised voice came from outside the shop.
A well-dressed middle-aged man walked in quickly.
Ye Cheng took a look and saw that this person had an extraordinary aura. With one look, he knew that he was in a high position and had been giving orders for a long time.
He should be like He Xiang, the CEO of some company or something.
"Ah! Boss Ma!" The owner of the antique shop quickly bowed to welcome him.
'Boss Ma' waved his hand and walked up to the painting. He started to appreciate it carefully. He even brought a magnifying glass with him and took it out to admire the painting.
The owner of the antique shop introduced Huang Hengyuan. "Mr. Huang, this is Mr. Ma. He loves calligraphy and paintings from the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and especially admires Zheng Banqiao's works.”
"Yes." Huang Hengyuan snorted like an old man.
After a while, Boss Ma raised his head, his face full of disappointment. "This is a fake."
"Hahahaha ~~~ Boss Ma, right? It seems that you have done some research on calligraphy and painting. However, there was an idiot here who insisted on paying 100,000 yuan for this fake.”Huang Hengyuan chuckled.
Boss Ma looked at Ye City. "Young man, this fake is not worth 100,000 yuan.”
Ye Cheng laughed. "There is another mystery in this fake.”
"Pfff ~" Huang Hengyuan burst out laughing. "Why are you acting tough here? Playing this in front of me, aren't you showing off your skills in front of an expert?”
After hearing Ye Cheng say that there was a secret behind the counterfeit, Boss Ma picked up the painting again and looked at it several times before handing it to the antique shop owner.
The owner of the antique shop also checked it several times and then said impatiently. "Alright, alright. You can go out. Don't cause trouble here and affect my business.”
Ye Cheng rolled his eyes."Boss, how about this? I'll make a bet with you." I'll give you 100,000 yuan to buy this painting. If there's really a different world in this painting, then you'll lose 100,000 yuan to me. Otherwise, I'll give you 100,000."
"Ye Cheng, don't! If this painting is really a fake, you'll have to spend 200,000 yuan for nothing!" Lin Wanyu tugged at Ye Cheng's sleeve anxiously.
"Interesting, very interesting.”Boss Ma shook his head and laughed.
Huang Hengyuan said. "Fine, you bet with him. A fool will give you 100,000 yuan for free.”
The antique shop owner thought for half a minute and gritted his teeth. "Alright! I'll bet! I can still afford to lose 100,000 yuan. However, I'm afraid that you'll go back on your word.”
"Is this Boss Ma? I can see that you're highly respected. Why don't you be the notary for this gamble?”Ye Cheng said to Boss Ma.
"Sure," Boss Ma said with a smile. "I don't dare to say that I'm highly respected, but I have no problem being a notary.”
"That's good." Ye Cheng took out his phone and said to the junk collector. "I'll transfer 100,000 yuan to you.”
"Alright, alright, alright!" The rag-and-bone collector was overjoyed. He thought to himself that he had really met an idiot today. He had earned so much for nothing. How satisfying.
The transaction was completed very quickly.
A minute after collecting the junk, he received the 100,000 yuan that Ye Cheng transferred to him.
"This painting is yours. Take it." The junk collector stuffed the fake painting into Ye Cheng's hands like a hot potato.
Gao Yuanyuan stood at the side. A hint of disappointment flashed across his bright eyes.
Originally, Gao Yuanyuan was very interested in the 'poor people of the mountainous areas'. After all, he was the first player in the entire server to level up, and he had even leveled up twice. Gao Yuanyuan was thinking that the "Mountain Bitter Man" must be a very special, very smart, and very talented player.
However, when she met him today, he was indeed good-looking, but…there was something wrong with his brain!
"Sigh ~~ Looks like I was wrong. This guy probably leveled up because he was lucky. Humans are too stupid…" Gao Yuanyuan sighed in his heart.
Ye Cheng took the painting and shook it a few times, causing the painting to rustle.
"Don't break it! I'm speechless!" Gao Yuanyuan could not help but remind him.
Ye Cheng ignored him and shook a few more times. Then, he smiled at the owner of the antique shop. "Please give me a glass of water."
"No problem. I can give you two glasses of water." The antique shop owner teased.
He handed a cup of water to Ye Cheng.
Ye Cheng swallowed a mouthful of water, and then-
Puff ~~~~~
sprayed all the water in his mouth onto the painting.
This time, the surface of the painting was soaked, and the painting was completely destroyed.
"Ah ~" Lin Wanyu was a little dumbfounded.
Ye Cheng, what are you trying to do!
Ye Cheng gently shook the painting a few more times to make the water spread evenly on the painting. Then, he carefully picked a corner of the painting with the small nail of his right hand.
And then!
A miracle happened!
As if by magic, a thin layer of paper was lifted off the surface of the painting!
Under this thin layer of paper was another painting!
"Hidden painting in a painting?!!!"”Boss Ma cried out involuntarily.
Ye Cheng threw away the lifted paper, wiped his hands, and gently stroked the painting underneath.
He saw that the painting below was still a bamboo and stone painting, but the bamboo was drawn in a difficult and delicate manner. It gave people the feeling that a breeze was passing through the bamboo leaves and they could see the bamboo swaying.
The inscription was a poem,'Hold on to the green mountains and don't relax. The roots are originally in the broken rocks. After thousands of blows, they are still strong, regardless of the east, west, north and south winds.'
"This is the authentic work." Ye Cheng smiled. "Actually, I've already seen through it. There's another painting hidden under the fake. This kind of technique was usually used to cover up the real work. So I directly concluded that there was an authentic copy among the fakes. As expected."
"It's…it's really Zheng Banqiao's bamboo and stone paintings! Heavens! It really is!" Mr. Ma was obsessed with painting. He stared at the painting excitedly. He wanted to touch it, but he didn't dare to. It seemed that he was afraid that Ye Cheng wouldn't allow it. After all, Zheng Banqiao's authentic work was very valuable.
This time, everyone was collectively petrified.
You ~~”Huang Hengyuan looked at Ye Cheng in disbelief.
"Of course I can tell. No matter how one looked at it, one would not be able to see through some people who had half a pot of water ringing. Now you know who the real idiot is, right?”Ye Cheng smiled playfully.
"F * ck! You!" Huang Hengyuan was furious and aggrieved. His face was red and he couldn't say anything.
"Ye Cheng, you're amazing!" Lin Wanyu looked at Ye Cheng with admiration.
The beautiful eyes of the plateau are also full of splendor.
"Young man…can you give this painting to me?”Boss Ma said in a trembling voice. "The market price is about 5.75 million. I'll round it up for you.”
Boss Ma's voice was full of pleading.
"No problem. It's a fixed price. 6 million.”Ye Cheng agreed without thinking. "Transfer the money to me now."
"6 million!" Huang Hengyuan roared. Then, he felt his head spinning and fell to the ground with a thud.
The antique shop owner stomped his foot.
The rag-and-bone man burst into tears. F * ck, he sold something that cost 6 million for 100 thousand. This was a f * cking loss!
