The reporters' spotlights blazed at them again. "As the most powerful studio in the industry, how are you going to explain this massive incident? This is the first time in decades that your studio has encountered something like this."
"Excuse me, Mr. Li, do you know?
Xu Jian replied firmly, "My master doesn't need to know about this matter, because it has nothing to do with him."
"At the same time, the blue and white porcelain that this gentleman brought out is not the same as the blue and white porcelain that we originally identified."
As soon as the words fell, there was an uproar in the audience.
The owner of the courtyard quickly called the police, trying to argue, "This is nonsense. There were cameras recording everything that day and today. You're so desperate to distance yourself from the matter that you're willing to do something like this. Are you even human?"
"I'm telling you, even if you say this today, the evidence is still in my hands. Don't even think about escaping."
Xu Jian was amused by his exaggerated performance.
The reporter sternly told him, "Sir, this is not the time to laugh."
Xu Jian narrowed his eyes. "If you don't laugh at a joke, wouldn't that be a disservice to the actor's acting?"
Li Xiang also said, "That's right, gentlemen, you have gone through so much trouble to make us laugh, so we must cooperate!"
The camera was broadcasting live at this time, and the audience in front of the TV was very surprised.
How could someone from Mr. Li Sanye's studio say such unprofessional things?
Seeing that they were not afraid, the owner of the yard began to panic. He spoke less fluently than before, "You think I'm lying, right? I tell you, I have evidence, and the evidence is this blue and white porcelain."
He patted the bottle, "What evidence do you have?"
Li Xiujun was still worried about the unfinished report, so she took out the camera beside her. "Here is the video of the entire process, as well as the record of the blue and white porcelain. That blue and white porcelain is not perfect. There is a very small chip at the very corner."
"But this does not prevent this blue and white porcelain from being authentic."
"But the one you have in your hand isn't even a fake."
"Are you kidding me?" The owner of the yard said stubbornly, but his face showed the embarrassment of being exposed.
At the same time, the camera footage was played out by Li Xiujun and others, and the details in it were seen by everyone. Today's suspense was instantly resolved at this moment.
If the people present were not mentally ill, they would have probably guessed that this incident was directed and acted by the owner of the yard.
In an instant, everyone turned their attention to him. "Sir, could you please explain why you lied about the blue and white porcelain?"
"Sir, are you aware that defaming others is a criminal offense?"
"This gentleman."
When the owner of the yard saw that the matter was exposed, he had nothing to refute and could only run out with the blue and white porcelain in his arms.
The reporters followed.
Li Xiujun quickly closed the door, thus avoiding chaos outside. She asked, "Do you usually call the police in situations like this?"
Li Xiang waved his hand nonchalantly. "There are too many cases like this. Even if we call the police, it won't solve anything. At most, we'll charge him with extortion and he won't be in jail for more than a few days. But people like these who make money through illegal means will cause trouble for us once they get out. It's better to avoid trouble for him."
"He will also be smart and not cause trouble for us."
Li Xiujun quickly remembered that the current laws were still imperfect. Although extortion could be classified, there was no way to make people stay in jail for a long time.
In this way, their current solution is indeed a helpless choice.
At the same time, the story about blue and white porcelain was broadcast and became well-known on TV stations in various places. Many people got to know the three of them and praised them for their courage and wisdom, saying they were representatives of contemporary youth.
Many newspapers began to privately approach Li Xiujun and the other two for interviews.
"We will offer a generous reward. We only hope to get an exclusive interview with you. You three can also provide us with scientific knowledge about the excavation of blue and white porcelain and the preservation of cultural relics."
"Besides, you are students of Jingda University and apprentices of Master Li San. This will be a good thing for your future development."
The conditions offered by the newspaper are very good and attractive enough.
But they are Li Sanye's apprentices, and this interview must rely on the reputation of the studio. It happened that Li Sanye returned to China, so they informed him of this matter.
After listening to this, Mr. Li San adjusted his glasses and said, "I disagree."
"Third Master," Li Xiang complained, "For a handsome young man like me, it's so hard to be in the newspaper. What a great opportunity!"
"Just agree with me."
Xu Jian had a long-term perspective. He pulled Li Xiang away and said, "Why are you so vain? It's just a newspaper. We'll have plenty of opportunities later. If the master doesn't agree, then so be it."
"Master." Li Xiujun had different ideas from the other two. What she wanted was money.
"I want to go," she said truthfully. "They offer a generous reward, but I'm short of money right now. Can I go alone?"
Third Master Li raised his eyelids, only glancing at Li Xiujun once, and finally said coldly, "You're only a freshman. Appearing in front of the media too early is not a good thing for you or for either of them."
"Can you handle the public opinion?" Third Master Li questioned the crowd. "Once you become a public figure, people can dictate your actions at will. I've lived indifferent for so many years, how about you?"
"You greenhorn, do you really think you are capable?" Although what Mr. Li San said was unpleasant, it was always the most realistic.
The idea of Li Xiujun and other talented people to stand out was rejected, and they were forced to refuse the magazine.
Li Xiang heard Li Xiujun say that her family was poor, so he came over to ask about the situation. "Junior sister, is there something wrong with your family? If you want money, we can take on more missions later, and you can go on missions with us."
"It's okay." Li Xiujun was just worried that Mr. Li's surgery was imminent and she would not be able to repay the Gu family such a large sum of money.
If Mr. Li San didn't agree, she would have to think of other ways.
After Li Xiujun left, Xu Jian touched Li Xiang's arm and said, "Our junior sister doesn't look poor! Why are you worrying about money?"
"And isn't she married?"
Li Xiang muttered back, "How can I know something you don't know?"
"Come on, go in and write a report."
Xu Jian looked at Li Xiujun's back, sighed, and went back to the studio.
Meanwhile, at the Gu family, Old Man Gu hadn't seen Li Xiujun for a long time, and he glared at Gu Qingming, "Your wife hasn't been home for so long, and you don't even worry about her. No matter what happens today, you must bring her back for dinner."
