In her previous life, Lin Chuchu was framed by her aunt and uncle, lost her job, and spent her entire life working as their family's servant.
However, her father was a martyr, and her mot...
"What did you say? You're lying. How could there be fake artifacts among the things we brought?"
That's ridiculous, absolutely ridiculous. Everything they brought was inspected; how could it possibly be fake?
"It was you, you deliberately said that in order to get the cultural relics back, wasn't it?"
"Fine, I want an explanation from China."
The American official pointed at the antiquities experts and cursed them, but the experts remained calm and composed, showing no fear, even under his murderous gaze.
"Sir, these are cultural relics of our country. China has a history of thousands of years and naturally has a set of methods for authenticating cultural relics."
"It's normal for your country to misjudge, after all, your country's history is only two hundred years old."
His tone was calm, but the American official was furious. Wasn't this ironic?
He really wanted to say, "So what if we have thousands of years of history? Aren't we still being suppressed and bullied by them?"
This is nothing more than a common tactic used by China to belittle the high and praise the low, with the aim of driving down prices.
Once she understood this, she suddenly stopped being angry and sat back down in her chair with her legs crossed.
"If you're saying the artifacts we brought are fake, then what's the evidence?"
"If there is no evidence, I suspect your country has some ulterior motive."
The leading cultural relics expert appeared calm and composed, but was actually quite nervous inside, with sweaty palms.
Do those fake artifacts really contain English letters? If not, they've really lost face.
However, the higher-ups told us to trust Lin Chuchu, and if Lin Chuchu said it was true, then it was true.
Thinking of this, the cultural relics expert instantly stood up straight.
“Of course we have evidence, because the genuine artifacts are in China, and the fake artifacts have markings in the hidden places.”
The American official narrowed his eyes slightly, but the other party remained calm and composed despite his imposing presence.
Even the top leaders of China showed no sign of feeling guilty.
Could it be that what he said is true, and those things are really fake?
Although she felt a little guilty, her tone remained firm.
"Okay, then let us see the real thing."
He personally went to the storeroom and took out several artifacts. Then, he saw the other party take out several identical artifacts from another room.
His eyes widened, his gaze fixed intently on those things.
When the two items are placed side by side, the difference between the real and fake becomes immediately apparent; the inherent charm of a genuine artifact, accumulated over thousands of years, cannot be faked.
"How could this be... how could this be..."
Could it be that everything we bought was fake? These cultural relics were carefully inspected when they were first brought back; they couldn't possibly be fake.
Could this be a setup, a setup targeting him?
Did some leaders conspire with the Chen family to make him make a big mistake so they could take the opportunity to get rid of him?
He hissed softly, his mind in turmoil. In that instant, he felt that everyone wanted to harm him.
A Chinese leader standing nearby curled the corners of his lips into a smile.
His gaze fell on a vase. "To prove it's true or not, it's easy. Just smash it."
"If we are proven wrong, we can compensate you at the original price."
Isn't the payment for the iron ore supposed to be made using cultural relics? We can just give them more iron ore later.
Thinking of this, the leader's smile grew even brighter.
The American official felt increasingly uncertain, but he couldn't stop them; wouldn't stopping them only show their guilty conscience?
"Okay, I agree."
He then picked up the vase on the ground and smashed it hard against the ground, shattering it into several pieces.
He immediately crouched down to examine it, and everyone else looked over curiously as well.
Hua Guo was very confident in Lin Chuchu, but he still had concerns since he hadn't seen her in person.
The room was brightly lit, and the American official began searching through several fragments.
Finally, I spotted the letter "fk" in an inconspicuous spot at the bottom of the vase.
Those two words were like a huge taunt, leaving the American official's face ashen.
"Hey, why are you still using English? Your country's counterfeiting skills are quite good."
The leader smiled and said, feeling a great sense of satisfaction as he watched them suffer.
He always had a smiling face, but now that smile looked incredibly fake.
The American official clenched his fists in anger, then kicked several artifacts at his feet, smashing them to pieces.
An antiquities expert said with a regretful look, "Oh dear, there's one real one inside. Your America is really generous. That's money! You just kick it to pieces like that."
"Besides, those imitations look quite exquisite. We'd be happy to collect them like trash and learn from them later."
"After all, China's imitation level is a bit poor, so we can humbly learn from them."
The American official was so angry he wanted to punch the other party in the face.
What kind of talk is that? It's as if the American country likes to copy things.
Are there really such extraordinary people in China?
As soon as the thought crossed his mind, the American official suddenly felt a pang of guilt.
"I need to report this to the government. Someone has replaced the items I traded. We'll decide how to handle these things once we have a result from higher up."
After the American official finished speaking, he ordered all the cultural relics to be packed into boxes.
He declined the high-ranking leader's offer to stay and boarded a ship from the United States that afternoon.
Lin Chuchu enjoyed seeing them get the short end of the stick; the angrier they got, the happier Lin Chuchu was.
There's nothing for her to do here anymore; the artifacts have already been replicated and will be ready in a month.
It can be said that the longer the United States delays, the more fakes will be among these cultural relics.
