Chapter 119 Help
Despite what Sister Cheng said, Du Ruo still left two thousand yuan: "If you don't take this money, I won't dare take the things away. Although I gave you the money, we have established a friendship. I'll leave you my phone number. If you have any trouble, call me."
On the way back, Yuan Tingchuan was on the phone: "This is what happened. I happened to go to the countryside and picked up a few things. I found something wrong. You'd better send someone down to take a look."
"Yes. I heard that Secretary Li has reported this matter, but there is still no news. I hope you will take more care of it."
"This is what we should do. Just keep it in mind. See you next time for tea. Goodbye."
Du Ruo looked at Yuan Tingchuan with a smile. She really felt that sometimes she could learn something from Yuan Tingchuan. This man was thoughtful and did things flawlessly. He was worth learning from.
Seeing Du Ruo looking at him intently, Yuan Tingchuan explained, "You have to have a beginning and an end to everything you do. A simple ending may seem trivial, but it is actually very necessary."
Du Ruoshen agreed with this, but she was still not as meticulous as Yuan Tingchuan.
"I forgot to tell you yesterday that when I left Chen's house, I met Han Ming and the Qu family. They seemed to be going to Chen's house as well. From what An Ze said, the relationship between the Chen family and the Qu family is very special."
"I already know about this matter. I have some idea in my mind, but the matter is still under investigation. I will tell you the results when I have them." Yuan Tingchuan said in a light voice.
"Yesterday, I saw a revolving vase from the Qianlong period on Antique Street. It was a fake. It was almost indistinguishable from the original. The craftsmanship of revolving vase is complicated. It definitely cannot be done in a day or two. The waters in H City are very deep."
Yuan Tingchuan smiled and said, "That's nothing. Yesterday, they gave me a bronze double-ram vase. I used the usual methods and didn't find any flaws. Later, I found a mark in the same place and determined that it was a fake."
"Ling's?"
“The markings are almost identical.”
That is to say, there are subtle differences.
"Is there a broken ribbon?"
"There is a tiny number behind the mark, which is almost invisible unless you feel it carefully."
Du Ruo frowned: "This isn't that person's mark, is it? Speaking of which, I haven't heard from Ling Yun for a long time, and I can't get through on the phone. I've been thinking about it these days, so I'll go there if I can."
"Wait a little longer, he should be back soon."
Han Ming and Qu Xin returned home, and Qu's father was waiting at home. Han Ming had called him before and told him what happened. Qu's father looked solemn. When he saw the two of them coming back, he asked, "How did Yuan Tingchuan know about this?"
Qu Xin was furious. She said in a bad tone, "How should I know? It must be that vixen named Du who took him away. Tingchuan has really lost his mind and is being led by a woman."
"I heard that the Yuan family's auction house found another fake bronze artifact yesterday?"
Qu Xin moved uncomfortably: "This matter has nothing to do with me. It was an old customer of ours who changed his mind after getting the item and sent it to Yuan's auction house himself."
"Didn't you hint to him to go? Why don't you learn your lesson? Why are you always jumping around in front of Yuan Tingchuan? Are you delivering food to him? What time is it now? Can you please be quiet?" Qu's father was suppressing his anger. He wanted to strangle Qu Xin to death. She was too stupid. If she wasn't useful to him, he really wanted to throw this idiot away.
Qu Xin had a guilty look on his face, and he lowered his head without saying a word.
Qu's father winked at Han Ming, telling him to keep an eye on this idiot and not to cause any trouble.
Han Ming nodded lightly to show that he would try his best.
Mr. Qu pondered and said, "Call Mr. Smith later. There's something wrong with the item he wants. We can compensate him with another item, but it will take some time."
Han Ming agreed and went out to make a phone call. Qu's father then said to Qu Xin, "I went to the Chen family yesterday, and the old man of the Chen family told me that his family had some connection with Du Ruo's elders, and asked us not to cause trouble for her. You should be quiet recently and don't go around Yuan Tingchuan and Du Ruo."
Qu Xin was a little unwilling: "But..."
"No buts. This is an extraordinary period. We cannot allow even the slightest crack in our relationship with the Chen family, no matter how small it is."
Looking at her father's serious face, Qu Xin bit her lip and nodded reluctantly.
After dealing with the documents, Yuan Tingchuan went to the study to watch the children in class. When he returned to the living room, he saw Du Ruo and Yuan Qi whispering there.
Yuan Qi touched his head and nodded frequently: "This is not a big deal. Don't worry, Mr. Du, I will definitely handle it for you properly."
Seeing Yuan Tingchuan coming in, the two looked at each other and Yuan Qi left in a hurry.
Du Ruo explained: "I did Mr. Sato a favor. I couldn't bear to see him being deceived, so I asked Yuan Qi to spread the word that the Qianlong famille rose revolving vase was a fake."
"The Sato family has been antique dealers for generations. It's not easy to impress them. This also shows that they are really good at what they do. Do you have anything to do recently?"
"No? I was just waiting for Ling Yun to come back and wait and see what happens, then I'll go back."
"You'll have to wait a while. You're free anyway. I've been busy with some documents lately. Can you help me keep an eye on things? There have been a lot of strange things appearing lately. If all the things that come out of my store are fakes, I won't be doing any business anymore."
Du Ruo looked at him helplessly without saying a word. If you want to let the horse run, you have to let it be well fed. How can it work if you don't even give it this handful of straw?
Yuan Tingchuan's mouth twitched, and he said helplessly: "I've given you everything I collected. I don't want a penny, you can take it all."
Oh my, this is not bad. The demand for antiques in her antique city is not small. This batch of goods is enough to fill a big hole.
Since there is enough fodder, General Du is full of energy.
She nodded her head to show her determination: "Don't worry, I can't say anything else, but with me here, no fakes will be leaked out."
Yuan Tingchuan nodded. He was a bit busy recently and it was impossible for him to sit in front and watch all the time. There was no reason for him to guard against thieves. He was trying to solve the problem from the source and had made some progress.
After the "family of four" had dinner, Du Ruo took the two children for a walk in the garden. Yuan Tingchuan left in a hurry. He had a dinner party in the evening with a very important guest and could not be late.
While taking her children for a walk, Du Ruo thought about Sato's expression and felt very happy. She thought Sato must be very happy to know the news, and she was also happy for her "friend".
