Silence! The entire room fell silent instantly!
Everyone present was stunned.
Good heavens, this is truly something else! That's an incredibly arrogant tone!
"Ha ha!"
The man with the slicked-back hair immediately burst into laughter, his laughter filled with disdain.
"Truly youthful arrogance!"
The others laughed along with them.
They shared the same view as Big Back Hair, believing that Ye Chen was just a fearless newborn calf.
"Master Ye, let me introduce you."
"His name is Sun Fugui, the president of Wanhai Bank, the largest bank in Jingzhou."
"Wanhai Bank has a very large scale; it is involved in the financial activities of more than half of the large and medium-sized enterprises in Jingzhou..."
Hong Sihai briefly introduced Sun Fugui's situation to Ye Chen.
The powerful Sihai Group also received loans from Wan Hai Bank.
Ye Chen nodded; the other party's identity was indeed extraordinary in Jingzhou.
However, it's nothing special in front of Ye Chen.
Ye Chen wouldn't be as subservient to Sun Fugui as others.
Or they try their best to please the other person, treating them like royalty.
With Ye Chen's strength, not to mention Wan Hai Bank, even if the Heavenly King himself came, it wouldn't make a difference.
The key is not to provoke him.
Sun Fugui looked at Ye Chen and narrowed his eyes slightly.
"I haven't seen such a wild young person in a long time. Interesting, extremely interesting."
"It just so happens that I brought something with me tonight."
"Why don't you take a look and help me determine if this is genuine?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Sun Fugui immediately took out a painting.
Then it was laid out on the table; this was a painting titled "The Bright Moon Rises Over the Sea."
Hong Sihai frowned slightly and said in a deep voice, "President Sun, give me some face."
"That's enough, there's absolutely no need for that."
Hong Sihai knew that Ye Chen was skilled in medicine and martial arts.
But he was still quite worried about the authentication of calligraphy and paintings.
If Ye Chen loses face because of this, Hong Sihai will definitely bear a significant responsibility.
If Ye Chen doesn't help him break the curse, wouldn't he be doomed?
"Alright, since Fourth Master has said so, I will certainly give him face."
Sun Fugui smiled, looking even more disdainful at Ye Chen.
“I know a little about calligraphy and painting. Since that’s the case, I’ll show you.”
Ye Chen looked at the other person calmly.
Upon hearing this, Sun Fugui immediately smiled and said, "Fourth Master, you heard that, didn't you? It's not that I'm not giving you face."
"Master Ye..."
Hong Sihai immediately looked at Ye Chen, but before he could finish speaking, Ye Chen waved his hand to interrupt him.
"Xiao Si, don't worry, it's fine to let him see it."
Ye Chen said casually, his words radiating confidence.
"Xiao Si?"
Everyone present showed strange expressions when they heard Ye Chen address Hong Sihai in that way.
Everyone present was aware of Hong Sihai's strength.
One of the three giants of Jingzhou's underworld was actually referred to as "Little Four" by a young man.
It felt as if Hong Sihai was Ye Chen's underling.
Some people frowned slightly, wondering about Ye Chen's background.
Hong Sihai looked at the strange expressions on everyone's faces, but he was neither embarrassed nor concerned.
It's just a name, what's the big deal?
Seeing that Ye Chen had already said that, Hong Sihai didn't know what else to say.
She could only pray in her heart that Ye Chen would truly shine.
"Enough with the small talk, please." Sun Fugui said to Ye Chen.
He wanted to see if Ye Chen had any real skills.
Ye Chen nodded slightly, then focused his gaze on the painting.
He raised an eyebrow slightly, as if he had discovered something.
Ye Chen placed his hand on the painting.
The moment Ye Chen saw the image, he already knew the answer.
A minute later, Ye Chen withdrew his hand and looked at Sun Fugui.
"I have my answer regarding the authentication of this painting."
Everyone present turned to look at Ye Chen.
Sun Fugui narrowed his eyes and said, "Since that's the case, then tell us the answer."
"This painting, 'The Bright Moon Rising Over the Sea,' is an authentic work."
Upon hearing this, everyone present laughed, seemingly unsurprised.
Everyone present knew that Sun Fugui was a collector.
So how could something that Sun Fugui could present be counterfeit?
“Young man, even if you don’t say it, we know it’s genuine.”
“How could anything that President Sun presented be fake?”
"Yes, yes, yes, one of President Sun's great hobbies is collecting."
"What we need is not the answer, but the detailed process, do you understand?"
"Ha ha!"
At this moment, Sun Fugui suddenly burst into laughter, his laughter filled with disdain.
He looked at Ye Chen and shook his head. "That's it?"
Let me tell you the truth.
"I bought this painting, 'The Moon Rising Over the Sea,' from a street vendor and had it appraised by a professional."
"Several professionals have concluded that the authentication results are false, yet you insist that they are true."
"Your title of master is undeserved."
"What?! It's fake?!"
Everyone except Ye Chen was taken aback.
Everyone stared at Sun Fugui in disbelief.
"Director Sun, this painting is fake. You're not joking, are you?"
One of them said with a surprised tone.
"Gentlemen, I really have no reason to lie to you."
"This painting is indeed fake; I just haven't had time to throw it away yet."
“It just so happens that this master said he wanted to impress me, so I took it out.”
Sun Fugui looked at Ye Chen and sneered.
