Facing everyone's gaze, how could the arrogant Lu Mancheng admit that he actually knew nothing about this bottle?
He said nonchalantly, "Actually, I don't know much about this bottle. I just shared some basic knowledge, just enough to show off in front of Miss Jane. I'd better not joke around in front of all these professionals."
Jian Yang propped up his chin and said to him, "Mr. Lu, please just repeat what you just said to me. I believe everyone is curious about your opinion on this bottle. Just consider it as satisfying everyone's curiosity."
The host also echoed: "Yes, Mr. Lu, what exactly is your evaluation? Just a few words will do."
Lu Mancheng's eyelids twitched.
Only now did he realize that Jian Yang was not only difficult to dig out, but also loved to hold grudges.
"My little tricks are just a show of force in front of Mr. Lu." Jian Yang glanced at the stage and said, "Go on. The guests are waiting."
Lu Mancheng was silent for a moment. "I don't think this porcelain vase is very valuable. It looks like something an ordinary wealthy family would own. If you find a few existing famous kilns, they can probably produce several caves of porcelain vases like this in a day... Although it's from the Qing Dynasty and can be considered an antique, it probably won't fetch a high price."
Lu Mancheng repeated what Jian Yang had just said. He looked extremely calm, but he was actually beginning to feel guilty inside.
Jian Yang looked at him with a smile, thinking that he remembered things quite quickly.
The host turned to look at the experts and asked, "Do you think what Mr. Lu just said makes sense?"
Lu Mancheng leaned sideways on the chair, his Adam's apple rolling.
Jian Yang glanced at him and found that Lu Mancheng's face looked a little nervous.
She smiled and asked, "Why is he so nervous? Does he think that what he just said was a lie?"
However, if Lu Mancheng had not been at a loss, he probably would not have recited his own lines.
After a discussion among several experts, he took the microphone and said, "Mr. Lu's comments just now are very pertinent and sound very much like what a professional would say. This vase is indeed an antique, but because it doesn't have any special craftsmanship, its price should only be between 30,000 and 50,000 yuan. It can be used as an ordinary object for appreciation."
Lu Mancheng originally thought that the experts would point out his shortcomings, but when he heard these words, he was obviously stunned, then turned to look at Jian Yang who was leisurely.
As expected, the latter smiled faintly, picked up a bottle of water on the table and took a few sips.
There was a hint of admiration in Lu Mancheng's eyes when he looked at her.
She really understands antiques.
The expert asked, "Is there anyone in Mr. Lu's family who is engaged in the treasure appraisal industry? Ordinary people can't tell the difference between these antiques."
Lu Mancheng said: "...No, it's just that I have a friend who is more familiar with these things."
Jian Yang looked at the stage and raised his eyebrows. This new friend was quite warm.
The items brought out by the next few guests were all quite ordinary, like some purple clay Guanyin statues and Ming Dynasty wine pots. Although they were all authentic, Jian Yang didn't like any of them.
Until the show came to an end, the last guest came up with a lacquered wooden box in his hand.
"My grandfather found this thing in an antique market. It was covered in dust when he bought it, and the seller sold it to him at a low price without even looking at it carefully. Later I heard it was a treasure, and I came here today to find out how much it is worth." The guest opened the box and revealed a bracelet with black jade and jadeite bead flowers.
Although they were a little far away, Jian Yang's eyes lit up immediately.
Looks like a baby...
The pure color of black jade is valuable in itself, and the jade in this string is so pure and consistent in color that you can tell at a glance that it is taken from the same piece of jade. The jade itself is also carved, and each bead is a lively Pixiu holding a ball, which also has a good meaning.
In ancient times, it took a lot of effort to make such a bracelet.
Jade is calm, and dark jadeite is more suitable as a men's ornament.
Thinking back to the time Mo Cishu gave her a hairpin and she hadn't reciprocated, she could choose something she liked and give it back this time.
She thought this necklace was just right.
As usual, the host presented the beads to the experts for their careful study.
Let’s start with the expert on the right and look at them one by one.
Perhaps this string of beads was truly excellent, as the experts had studied it with exceptional care. Jian Yang had been waiting anxiously for the beads to be delivered to Lu Mancheng.
Lu Mancheng noticed from the beginning that she was particularly fond of this bead necklace, and her eyes never left it after she took it out.
Now that the beads were placed in front of her, she wished her neck would be two meters longer so she could stretch it out to take a look.
Lu Mancheng showed a cunning smile on his face, grabbed the armrest of Jian Yang's chair and pulled him towards him, and Jian Yang slid to his side with the chair.
Lu Mancheng smiled and said, "You like this thing, right? Come closer if you want to see it."
Jian Yang was bewildered as he looked at the face that suddenly appeared in front of him.
——This is a roller skate chair!
She didn't expect Lu Mancheng to have this trick!
Lu Mancheng came up to her and pushed the beads towards her: "If you like it, I can buy it for you."
Jian Yang: "..."
Who needs your money!
She didn't take Lu Manchester seriously, but the audience around her didn't think so.
From Lu Manchester's ambiguous words at the beginning to his current behavior of actively closing the distance, anyone who sees it would think that these two people are up to something!
There's obviously something fishy going on!
If there is no problem, can Mr. Lu buy antique beads for any woman?
Jian Yang frowned, feeling extremely disgusted with Lu Manchester's behavior of casually closing the distance and pretending to be familiar with them.
She suddenly pushed her chair away, away from Lu Mancheng, and said, "I can buy things I like myself. There's no need for Mr. Lu to pay for them. At worst, there are others who will pay for me. It's really not Mr. Lu's turn to pay for it."
They are obviously not very familiar with each other, so why pretend to be so close?
The audience was bewildered. Ah... this?
The King of Xiang is interested, but the goddess is not?
Jian Yang obviously didn't cue Mr. Lu's interaction!
Someone has already started recording. How can treasure appraisal be as interesting as gossip about CEOs and celebrities?
They are always enthusiastic about gossip and gossip!!
Lu Mancheng raised the corner of his lips slightly: "I just want to give you a gift, why are you resisting so much?"
In front of so many people, Jian Yang really doesn't give any face at all?
He pushed the beads towards Jian Yang again, staring at Jian Yang with his eyes.
She dared to embarrass herself and try it!
Jian Yang pursed her lips. Sometimes Lu Mancheng's behavior was really like Xiao Junlan.
Just do what you want to do, regardless of whether others like it or not.
If there is any difference, it is just that he did not do it as excessively as Xiao Junlan.
But this behavior is also not welcomed by Jian Yang.
Jian Yang raised his eyes and said, "Mr. Lu, it's too early for you to say that. This is just an item that a guest brought up for appraisal. They just want to estimate the price and haven't said they want to sell it yet. How can you be sure that you will buy it and give it to me as a gift?"
Lu Mancheng smiled and turned to look at the guest: "Isn't the purpose of valuation to sell it? Otherwise, you can just keep it at home as a collection, why bother taking it out?"
He leaned back in his chair and said, "No matter what the price of this string of beads is, I can buy it and give it to you."
