Chapter 59: Wealthy
Fortunately, the girl's slender fingers held all the cups in her hands. Although it looked quite dangerous, at least they would not fall.
Su Baili looked at them curiously one by one, "They are all very beautiful. They look like they were made by the same master as the cup."
The auction house owner smiled and said, "Miss, you have a good eye. We have verified that these are indeed blue and white porcelain cups made by a master."
Seeing that Su Baili seemed to be somewhat interested, Qi Shenzhi didn't even ask her which one she liked. He waved his hand and signaled the owner of the auction house to buy them all.
The owner of the auction house was ecstatic. He never expected that Mr. Qi would be interested in their items!
It is truly an honor for their auction.
It was a pleasant surprise for him to be able to participate in this auction, and he also bought so many items. He had a feeling that his auction house would become even more famous after today.
Is this what it means to enjoy the shade under a big tree?
Even if you are just a little bit connected, you can still benefit from it.
"Okay Mr. Qi, I'll arrange for someone to pack it for you right away."
As for the prices of these items, he did not even mention them. Mr. Qi's willingness to accept them was a recognition of their auction house.
He was able to sell things that many people begged him to give away but couldn't.
Then it must be given according to the supply price!
He is not stupid, and he must maintain the necessary interpersonal relationships.
Su Baili smiled and said coquettishly: "Just buy one. If you buy so many, there will be no place to put them."
Qi Shenzhi smiled and pinched her little face, "It's okay, just watch it for fun first, if you don't like it, ask the housekeeper to throw it in the warehouse."
"Hello~"
Su Baili stopped trying to dissuade him upon seeing this, as she knew it was useless anyway.
Her boyfriend loves spending money on her so much, it's such a sweet burden.
On the contrary, the owner of the auction house nearby fell into deathly silence after hearing these words.
“…”
Should we say that he is worthy of being Mr. Qi?
What a big mouth...
But it's also true that looking across the country, he is the only one who can be so arrogant.
Considering the good things stored in Mr. Qi's home, he probably wouldn't bother looking for a cup like this even if it was lost in the warehouse.
While the auction house owner continued to be shocked, the second half of the auction on the first floor had already begun.
When he saw that the bidding had already begun for the first lot, the auction house owner remembered what the manager had just said to him.
He thought about it and asked boldly, "Miss, I saw you came with the two Yuan masters just now? Do you know the story of the landscape painting by Tang Yin that imitated Li Tang?"
Su Baili looked over curiously, and saw the auction house owner said in embarrassment: "Because Mr. Yuan told our person in charge that this painting is a fake, but we just had someone check it again and still didn't find any clues, so I dare to ask you, does Mr. Yuan have any evidence to prove what he said?"
The owner of the auction house had no choice but to ask Su Baili. This was a big deal and it concerned the reputation of their auction house.
Mr. Yuan has a certain status in the industry, so they will naturally take what he said seriously.
But he just asked the appraiser from their own auction house to take a look at it again, but still couldn't find any clues.
This is a bit embarrassing.
I don’t know if it was an error in the information or if the appraisers in their auction house were not up to standard.
He thought that this young lady was close to Qi Shenzhi and was knowledgeable. Maybe she knew some important information.
After hearing this, Qi Shenzhi asked in confusion, "Mr. Yuan?"
Su Baili explained with a smile: "I just ran into our mentor and his brother outside. I was bored, so I watched the first half of the auction with them."
Qi Shenzhi nodded in understanding.
Speaking of this matter, Su Baili is also responsible. She can't just go out and make a big fuss and then fail to find the problem. That would be a slap in the face of her tutor and her brother.
She thought about it and decided to come forward. "That matter... Actually, I said it was a fake. I know you want to ask me why. Because the original is with us."
Su Baili seemed to be afraid that the owner of the auction house would not believe it, so she patted Qi Shenzhi's shoulder heavily.
The auction house owner widened his eyes in disbelief when he heard this.
“This, this, this…”
Mr. Qi also has a landscape painting imitating Li Tang’s at home?
Qi Shenzhi was even more confused than the auction house owner. He looked at Su Baili blankly, "Do we have any?"
He actually had no idea about his own things. Well, the famous Mr. Qi was busy with all kinds of things, so these little things were not worth his time and effort to remember.
Su Baili nodded heavily, "Yes! Uncle took it back. Have you forgotten? He even showed off to us for a long time at that time."
Qi Shenzhi: “…”
Very good, then he must have no impression at all.
After all, he rarely bothers thinking about things that have nothing to do with Lili.
Maybe I would just say congratulations and forget about it, or even not bother to take a look at it.
After all, that painting is not as attractive as Lili.
Upon hearing this, Qi Shenzhi believed his Lili unconditionally and turned to the organizer and said, "Since Lili said we have one at home, then your painting cannot be an authentic one. My father's exclusive treasure appraiser is Mr. Liu."
The host's eyes widened when he heard this. Is this the old Liu who has never failed in appraising treasures?
How powerful is he?
It can be said that if he wanted to forge the information, he could even do it to the point where no one could detect it.
Of course he wouldn't do that. People like him are more or less aloof and arrogant.
Over the years, Old Liu has grown old and has lived in seclusion. He has never heard of anyone being able to invite Old Liu to come out of seclusion to appraise treasures. Now it seems that he is too short-sighted.
She has been a member of the Qi family for a long time.
Since the Qi family's imitation of Li Tang's landscape painting was authenticated by Mr. Liu, the one in their auction house's hands can only be a fake no matter how many times you say it.
But how to identify it...
After all, if they can't come up with a perfect explanation, the customer who bought the painting will never give up.
The auctioneer's face crumpled.
Su Baili thought about it and realized that since the whole thing was caused by her, if she didn't say anything, there would be no trouble. So she decided to help others to the end.
She hugged Qi Shenzhi's neck attentively, "Brother, why don't you ask Elder Liu to help take a look? I can't be the one who makes up stories if I can't produce any evidence."
"With me here, no one dares to accuse you of lying!" Qi Shenzhi's eyebrows turned cold, and there was a hint of chill in his voice.
The owner of the auction house was startled, his face became even more wrinkled. “My dear, I know you mean well.”
But considering how much Mr. Qi cares about you, this sentence would be a disguised complaint to him...
He still wants to live two more years, so you'd better shut up.
Faced with Qi Shenzhi's icy attitude, the auction house owner tried to remain calm and explain himself.
"Miss, you are worrying too much. We will definitely not tell anyone about this matter. Even if we do, no one will question you and Mr. Qi. They will only praise your kindness and prevent me and the auctioneer from suffering any loss."
Su Baili didn't expect that the owner of the auction house had such a strong desire to survive.
She patted Qi Shenzhi's back soothingly, "Okay, brother, don't be so serious. Look how scared the boss is. I'm not complaining, I just want to produce evidence to prove that I'm right!"
When Qi Shenzhi saw that Su Baili was not complaining but simply wanted to help, the aura around him gradually warmed up.
He nodded and said, "Since Lili has said so, I will help you this time. Go ahead and contact Assistant Shen at the door. He will give you Mr. Liu's phone number."
"Thank you, thank you." The auction house owner was ecstatic. "We will remember your kindness forever!"
Qi Shenzhi waved his hand to indicate that he could go down.
The auction house owner did not dare to delay and walked to the door with his body hunched, and did not stand up until the door was closed.
Then he turned his head and gave a flattering smile to Assistant Shen who was sitting not far away.
Assistant Shen: “?”
