"Don't worry, any jade I, Gu Huaqiang, has inspected will definitely not be fake. If you are willing to do business with our Gu family, you will definitely not suffer any loss!"
Old Master Luo laughed and said, "What Mr. Gu said really touched my heart. It just so happens that I have a jade appraiser here, and I have a few jade pieces that are hard to tell whether they are real or fake. Why don't you show me your skills?"
"Okay, no problem!"
Qiao Ruoxi listened to the voices inside and looked at Luo Yubai: "Master Luo, do you have guests?"
Luo Yubai chuckled: "Mr. Gu from the Gu family wants to cooperate with us in the jade business and export it abroad."
"How about I come over later?" Qiao Ruoxi asked.
Luo Yubai waved his hand: "Grandpa specifically instructed that you are welcome to come anytime. Let's go, the old man might be waiting anxiously."
After hearing what Luo Yubai said, Qiao Ruoxi no longer refused.
Just as Luo Yubai said, when Old Man Luo saw Qiao Ruoxi coming, his heart suddenly blossomed and he waved quickly: "Ruoxi girl, come here quickly, Grandpa!"
When Mr. Gu saw Qiao Ruoxi for the first time, he felt that she looked familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen her before.
Seeing that Mr. Luo's eyes were full of doting, he guessed: "This girl has an outstanding temperament and is obviously a lady from a wealthy family. But is she your granddaughter, Mr. Luo?"
Old Master Luo laughed out loud, "I wish Miss Ruoxi was my granddaughter, but unfortunately, I don't have that blessing. This is my calligraphy friend named Qiao Ruoxi. Miss Ruoxi, this is Mr. Gu."
"It turns out to be Mr. Gu. I've heard a lot about you." Qiao Ruoxi smiled and nodded.
Mr. Gu just stood there in a daze.
When he heard the three words "Qiao Ruoxi", he finally remembered!
"Are you Pei Laosan's wife, Chen Qin's biological daughter, Qiao Ruoxi?" Old Master Gu asked with a frown.
Qiao Ruoxi smiled calmly: "It's me. I've dealt with your grandson Gu Yan before, and I've always wanted to find an opportunity to meet you. Today I finally got to meet you."
Mr. Luo laughed so hard that his eyes disappeared: "Really? It's such a coincidence that you were called here!"
Mr. Gu was so angry that his face turned red.
What a crap deal! It clearly ruined the reputation of the Gu family and created a rift between the two generations.
However, he didn't dare say this.
Mr. Luo's attitude clearly shows that he is still unaware of Gu's plagiarism, and he cannot let this affect the cooperation.
While they were talking, the appraiser came in pushing a few trays covered with red cloth.
Grandpa Luo walked over excitedly and uncovered all the red cloths. Under the red cloths were pairs of jade pieces that looked almost identical.
"Mr. Gu, what do you think? These are my collections. Can they stump you?" Mr. Luo's tone was humorous with a hint of cunning.
Old Master Gu waved his hand and said, "Just watch. My sharp eyes can't possibly be wrong!"
After saying that, Mr. Gu glared at Qiao Ruoxi and said, "Let's open the eyes of the younger generation as well."
Old Master Luo narrowed his eyes and kicked his grandson beside him: "Yubai, Old Master Gu is talking to you."
Luo Yubai:?
He is such a good grandfather, letting him block the gun.
There were five pairs of jade pieces in total. Mr. Gu walked over to each one of them wearing gloves. He was very confident at first and pointed them out quickly. He looked very confident.
When he came to the fourth piece of jade, there was a moment of hesitation in Mr. Gu's eyes.
He picked up the two jade cups and looked at them over and over again. He even took off his gloves and wiped the lenses of his glasses with his sleeves before putting his gloves back on.
Finally, as if taking a gamble, he picked up one of the jade cups and said, "This is just real."
Mr. Luo looked at the appraiser, and the appraiser nodded.
Mr. Gu heaved a sigh of relief, hiding his awkwardness with a smile: "I'm getting old, and my eyesight isn't as good as it used to be. In the past, I could have identified this in minutes."
"As expected of Mr. Gu!" Mr. Luo exclaimed in praise.
Mr. Gu was beaming with joy. He thought that as long as he could identify the authenticity of all the jade wares, Mr. Luo would definitely look at him with admiration, and he would have no problem closing the deal.
However, when he came to the last piece of jade, Mr. Gu paused again.
"Miss Ruoxi, are you sure?" Old Master Luo asked in surprise.
This sound caught Mr. Gu's attention.
Old Master Luo explained with a smile, "Miss Ruoxi is amazing. She said she can also appraise treasures. She appraised all these jade pieces just now!"
Old Master Gu's eyes widened. "How is this possible? This pair has also been identified?"
Qiao Ruoxi smiled and raised her hand: "Obviously, the jade pot on the right is real."
Old Master Gu sneered: "Don't be ridiculous. You're standing so far away, can you tell the authenticity just by looking at it?"
"If you really have this ability, I will give you the Gu family signboard without saying anything!"
Qiao Ruoxi raised her red lips slightly, "Mr. Gu, you can't say that. What if the Gu family's signboard really comes into my hands, and you tell others that you gave it to me? I will be at a great disadvantage!"
Old Master Gu flew into a rage: "Little girl, do you know what you are saying? You are so arrogant!"
Old Master Luo smiled and tried to smooth things over: "Mr. Gu, it's a good thing for a child to be ambitious. Don't be so picky with him. Besides, Miss Ruoxi is right. The real jade pot is the one on the right."
Old Master Gu clenched his fists. He had just called that girl a little friend and spoke so arrogantly, but now she is acting like a child again?
I really don't know what kind of love potion Qiao Ruoxi gave to Mr. Luo that made him so partial to her.
He had lived for more than seventy years and had never seen anyone who could identify the authenticity of jade at a glance. This girl must have used some method to trick Old Man Luo into talking.
