"No!" Yueying turned around and smiled.
"Oh!" After hearing this, Lin Han glanced at Lu Yu next to him, thinking that it would be acceptable if he was the only one who was wronged.
Yueying led the two of them into a room where people were already waiting. They were three white-haired, pale-faced and thin old men.
Among the three, only two looked energetic. The one in the middle was sitting in a wheelchair, hooked to an IV drip, with cloudy eyes and a dull look, and it seemed that he didn't have much time left.
But don’t be fooled by their old age, they have a high prestige among treasure appraisers.
Especially the one in the middle, he is the longest-lived master of treasure appraisal who is still alive, Zhao Qiankun!
Although the other two were about the same age as him, they were also considered giants in the eyes of treasure appraisers, and even they had to be courteous to Zhao Qiankun.
All in all, these three people have the highest status among treasure appraisers, and that’s what they say.
After Yueying brought them in, she stood behind the door because there was no chair prepared for her.
She was the person responsible for receiving Lin Han and Lu Yu. Her duties ended here. It was a great honor for her to be able to attend the meeting here.
"Please take a seat!"
The kind old man on the left gestured to Lin Han and Lu Yu to sit opposite them.
Lin Han and Lu Yu nodded slightly, found a favorite seat and sat down, waiting for them to speak across the table.
"Lin Han, Lu Yu, right?" The old man wearing reading glasses on the right pushed his glasses, picked up the reports of the two people on the table, and asked.
"yes!"
"yes!"
The two said in unison.
"I'm not calling you here for any other reason than because the Xidu Province Treasure Appraisal Contest has a huge impact, so all treasure appraisal contests are temporarily closed. Mr. Lu, who recently received the title of Treasure Appraisal Master, is unable to award you the corresponding title and reward."
The old man wearing reading glasses read the lines almost exactly as written in the script.
However, he put the manuscript down and looked up at Lin Han and Lu Yu.
"So, do you have any requests? Mr. Lin has made an invaluable contribution to this matter, and some rules do need to be changed. As for Mr. Lu, we can only feel deeply sorry and offer you other compensation."
The first thing they asked was a heavy question. In front of these three masters, the two younger generations, Lin Han and Lu Yu, felt a lot of pressure.
How to make requests is a science. If you ask for too much, it will leave a bad impression on them. When the news gets out, your reputation will be bad and your future will be affected.
But if you raise the price too low, people will think that you don’t care about the title of treasure appraiser at all, and you will also feel that you are losing out.
Before Lin Han came here, he had considered what kind of compensation he wanted, but now he is not sure how to answer.
At this time, Lu Yu, who had already thought of how to answer with a determined look, spoke first, "I don't need any compensation, I just need the title of treasure appraiser. I suggest reopening the treasure appraisal competition! Otherwise, people might think that I really cheated to get first place!"
Huh?
Lin Han looked at Lu Yu in disbelief. This guy didn't even want any compensation. Was he pretending to be noble?
But after thinking about it carefully, Lin Han understood that Lu Yu was not short of money at all, so he definitely had no shortage of money, but what he lacked was fame!
In order to avoid being stigmatized, starting a new treasure appraisal competition would be the best option, and the weight of the treasure appraisal competition held here would definitely be different.
There are so many treasure appraisers here, and three of the masters among them are here. No one thinks that anything can go wrong in this treasure appraisal competition, and the situation like that in Xidu Province will definitely not happen again.
If you can gain their recognition, you will be able to rise quickly in this field in the future!
It seems that Lu Yu did not ask for any compensation, as if he had suffered a huge loss, but in fact, the benefit of doing so is the greatest!
The two old men looked at each other, looked at Lu Yu out of the corner of their eyes, nodded in appreciation, and after whispering to each other, they looked at Lin Han together, "What about you?"
Lin Han hesitated for a moment and was about to speak, but at this moment, Lu Yu on the side suddenly sneered.
"For someone like you who tries to get a bargain at a street stall, you should be satisfied with just taking home a few hundred thousand, right? In a real treasure appraisal competition, you will only make a fool of yourself! There is only one first place. If you lose the competition, you will lose everything."
How disrespectful!
After hearing Lu Yu's arrogant words, Lin Han's face darkened and he secretly clenched his fists, but he did not lose his composure in front of the three giant crocodiles.
Originally, he had planned to take a few hundred thousand and leave, and they were going to reopen the treasure appraisal competition anyway, so couldn't he just sign up then?
He can get the money and also hold a treasure appraisal competition. Why not?
However, since Lu Yu said so, he couldn't bring it up like that. If he really wanted money, this bastard would definitely become even more arrogant and wouldn't take him seriously.
He didn't want to let such a person get too proud.
Lin Han looked at the three old men opposite him and said solemnly, "I also suggest reopening the treasure appraisal competition. I want to participate and get first place!"
“Pah!”
The two old men couldn't help but applaud them, and even Zhao Qiankun, who was in the middle and had not much time left, nodded slightly to show his approval.
"Very good, it turns out that heroes emerge young!"
"Then it's decided. However, it will take a lot of time to prepare the venue for the reopening of the treasure appraisal competition. It will take at least a week to prepare all the necessary items for the competition. Before that, you can stay here and let us play our part in hosting you, right?"
"Okay!" Lin Han would certainly not refuse such a good thing. At least he wouldn't have to worry about accommodation and food. They wouldn't save even this little money.
"Then take them out for a walk!"
The old man waved his hand, and Yueying nodded, opened the door and prepared to send Lu Yu and Lin Han out.
"Goodbye!"
Lin Han and Lu Yu both left. Yueying took them upstairs to see their rooms and said that it was okay if they wanted to live outside, as their treasure appraisers would pay for it.
But I think this place is definitely better. After all, there must be a lot of precious things in this place, and it would be nice to broaden your horizons here.
"This is my business card with my contact information on it. If you need anything, you can contact me and I will try my best to meet your needs. I have other work to do, so I'll leave first!"
She took out two business cards and handed them to Lin Han and Lu Yu, then left with deep apologies.
After Lin Han and Lu Yu looked at each other, they walked in different directions with gloomy faces, neither of them waiting for the other.
Lin Han wanted to view the valuable items at the treasure appraisers' meeting, but he was told that only people of a certain status could enter, or that the valuable items would only be displayed during some activities.
Others could only view the valuables that were placed in glass cases in the corridors or on the walls.
