Chapter 80: The Banquet Becomes an Antique Appreciation Meeting
Immediately, everyone saw Li Sen, who had just finished the opening speech of the banquet, walking over to this side, followed by a few people, and He Tian was also among them.
When he arrived at the three of them, Li Sen looked sunny and warm: "Long time no see, this is the first time you have participated in our banquet." ”
Lin Wanqing just nodded, whispered "Long time no see", and stopped talking.
Seeing her so cold, Li Sen's eyes shrank, but the smile on his face remained unchanged, and he turned to look at Lan Gang: "Ah Gang, I heard that you have not been in good health recently, pay more attention to rest." ”
"Thank you, Brother Sen, for your concern. Lan Gang had obviously known Li Sen for a long time, and he also smiled back.
After greeting Lan Gang, Li Sen turned his gaze to Su Chen, and at the same time smiled at Lin Wanqing and Lan Gang at the same time: "This friend is very faceless, Wanqing, Ah Gang, since you are your friend, aren't you going to introduce me to it?"
I have to say that this Li Sen is very good at being a person, and the temperament he shows makes people feel like a spring breeze.
"This is ......" Lin Wanqing was about to introduce, but in the middle of speaking, she stopped, but in her mind, she remembered the words she had said to Su Chen before she came in just now, and a touch of shyness flashed on her face, "It's my friend." ”
After all, Lin Wanqing was still thin-skinned and did not say the word "boyfriend".
Su Chen was on the side and couldn't help but roll his eyes. This girl asked me to be a shield, but she was embarrassed to say that she was really drunk.
However, although those three words were not spoken, the shyness and sweetness on Lin Wanqing's face could be seen as long as she was not blind, so this thought appeared in everyone's hearts, that is, this man is Lin Wanqing's boyfriend!
Li Sen naturally thought the same thing, which made his face change instantly, although it quickly disappeared, but it was still noticed by Su Chen.
Sure enough, it came. Su Chen sighed secretly, and suddenly had a new understanding of the word "red face and troubled water".
"It's a pleasure to meet you, my name is Li Sen, and I am the organizer of this banquet. Li Sen still looked sunny and gentle, took the initiative to stretch out his hand, and said to Su Chen.
People are polite, Su Chen naturally will not be uninteresting, he also smiled, stretched out his hand and shook Li Sen: "Su Chen, it's a pleasure to meet you." ”
As soon as the two got to know each other, Su Chen suddenly felt a malicious gaze.
When he raised his eyes, he saw He Tianzheng, who was standing beside Li Sen, looking at him with bad intentions, and when he saw himself looking over, the corners of his mouth were even more sinister.
"Sen Shao, don't you know, this Brother Su Chen Su is a master of cultural relics restoration, and now he is serving as the treasurer in the Treasure Pavilion of Wanqing's house. ”
He Tianluo said a little loudly.
seems to be praising Su Chen, but he inadvertently revealed a piece of news, that is, Su Chen is just a part-time worker in Lin Wanqing's family, an ordinary person, and he is not a person with a deep background at all.
Sure enough, as soon as he said this, everyone's eyes looked at Su Chen differently. There is even a trace of disdain in the eyes of many people.
"Damn, it turned out to be a subordinate, but I thought he had a deep background. ”
"Treasure Pavilion, I know, it seems to be an antique shop under the name of the Lin family, and the scale doesn't seem to be too big. ”
"I have it, I don't know if Lin Wanqing has taken a fancy to him, shouldn't she have been deceived. ”
There was a faint sound of discussion all around, and almost everyone was watching Su Chen's joke.
However, to everyone's disappointment, Su Chen's face did not change in the slightest at this time, and the whole person was full of sluttle, not caring about the discussions of the people around him.
Li Sen saw Su Chen's demeanor in his eyes, and a trace of strangeness couldn't help flashing on his face.
In fact, in the past few years before this time, there had been such a situation, that is, a person with ordinary status joined their banquet.
However, those people, even if they are not identified in public, will still be very restrained in their behavior, and even ugly things that lead to low self-esteem will happen from time to time.
But the man in front of him is different, Li Sen can see that his and relaxed are not disguised, but really don't care, just like ...... He is at the same level as these sons and buddies of Jinnan high society at the banquet.
This kind of performance, if this person is not a megalomaniac, or he is full of confidence in himself.
Obviously, Su Chen belongs to the latter.
Realizing this, Li Sen did not despise Su Chen because of this, on the contrary, he paid more attention to it.
"It turns out that Brother Su is also good at cultural relics restoration, and I heard that this skill is difficult to master. Li Sen still had a smile on his face, and he didn't seem to care about Su Chen's identity, "Actually, I am also very interested in antiques, and I have collected a lot of treasures over the years." By the way, He Shao, your Gu Shengzhai is the largest antique shop in Jinnan, it seems that we can get closer to each other. ”
"What Sen Shao said is that I have actually been close to He Shao a few times, but he seems to have some opinions about me. Su Chen shrugged his shoulders and said with a hint of teasing.
"Oh, so you know each other, too. ”
Li Sen was a little surprised, turned his head to look at He Tian, but found that this guy's face was a little red for some reason, and he seemed to be a little unspeakable, and he was even more curious.
"Yes...... Yes, acquaintance, acquaintance. The corners of He Tian's mouth twitched, and his gaze at Su Chen was also resentful, obviously thinking of those unpleasant experiences.
"It's also a coincidence, it just so happens that I have collected a few old gadgets in the past few days, why don't we come to a small antique appreciation meeting by the way today?"
Li Sen seems to be really interested in antiques, and when he talks about antiques at this time, he looks like he can't stop, and he even clapped his hands and put forward such an idea.
At the scene, except for a few people whose business is related to antiques, the others are half-aware of antiques, but this does not prevent them from being curious about antiques, and this idea was proposed by Li Sen again, and suddenly, everyone began to applaud.
"That's a good idea, Mori Shao, just in time for us to see your baby. ”
Seeing that everyone agreed, Li Sen's interest was even higher, he looked down at his watch, and then suggested: "Everyone, it's still early, if anyone has a good treasure at home, you might as well take it now, and we can taste it together." ”
As soon as I said this, I usually collect antiques, or the elders in the family like to collect antiques, my eyes are bright, thinking that this is a good opportunity to pretend to be forced, if your antiques overpower others, take it out in the future, it is also a thing to show off.
"He Shao, your Gu Sheng Zhai is the largest antique shop in Jinnan, and you started to take over the operation of Gu Sheng Zhai a few years ago, I think there must be a lot of collections, why don't you go back and bring it to us to see?"
"Yes, and Miss Lin, there are several antique shops in your house, why don't you also bring out one or two treasures?"
At this time, the atmosphere has been completely mobilized, and many people have focused their eyes on He Tian and Lin Wanqing, two people who make a living from antiques in their families.
"Ah, this ......"
Lin Wanqing hesitated a little, she never expected that a good banquet would turn into an antique appreciation party, after thinking for a while, she felt that if she refused, it would be very shameless, so she nodded, "Okay, I'll go back and get one." ”
And He Tian had already set off to go back, obviously he couldn't wait to pretend to be forced with his own antiques.
After Lin Wanqing and Su Chen left the hall, they were a little troubled: "Su Chen, you said that it would be better for me to take any antiques, really, what kind of antique appreciation will I play, it's so troublesome." ”
Hearing Lin Wanqing's complaint, Su Chen smiled and said, "I think this is a good opportunity." ”
"Good opportunity, what good opportunity?" Lin Wanqing was a little puzzled.
"What do you think, the people who participated in the banquet this time are all young ladies with some backgrounds in Jinnan, and there is no shortage of money in the family, and there must be some of them who are interested in antiques, or there are people in the family who are interested in antiques. If we come up with one or two good treasures, it will be a free promotion, and maybe we can increase our business. ”
Hearing Su Chen's words, Lin Wanqing's eyes slowly lit up: "Yes, Su Chen, you are right, then hurry up, let's go back and choose, we must come up with the best one." ”
Seeing that this chick suddenly became excited, Su Chen couldn't help but smile.
Speaking of which, there is a relatively obvious rule in this aspect of antiques, that is, the older you are, the more obsessed you are with antiques.
Many people, when they are young, may have no love for antiques at all, but when they reach middle age or old age, they will fall in love with these things.
Otherwise, most of the treasure hunting programs on TV are forty or fifty years old, and almost all of them are men.
Because Lin Xiongye has several antique shops under his name, the best one is Wanqingzhai, so Lin Wanqing drove directly to Wanqingzhai.
"Su Chen, I don't know much about antiques, you help me choose the best one. After getting out of the car, Lin Wanqing took out the key, opened the door of the store, and said to Su Chen as she opened.
"Okay, no problem. Su Chen agreed.
Entering the store, Su Chen carefully selected.
I have to say that the objects in Wanqingzhai are worthy of Lin Xiongye's painstaking collection, although most of them are not very hand-me-down, but they can be regarded as high-quality products, but if you want to get the first, it is estimated that it is still a little difficult.
After all, not to mention anything else, He Tian's Gu Shengzhai, although his character is not good, and he is doing the business of spiritual weapons, but his strength is indeed not to be underestimated.
"Hey, this ......"
Su Chen's eyes lit up suddenly, and then he didn't hesitate, he directly took out the object he fancied, and said to Lin Wanqing, "I've chosen, just this one." ”
Seeing the object in Su Chen's hand, Lin Wanqing was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously said, "Is this okay?"
"Don't worry, trust me. It's not necessarily guaranteed to win, but it can definitely surprise the audience. Su Chen's smile was full of mystery.
Lin Wanqing trusted Su Chen 100%, nodded, and it was finalized.
By the time the two of them returned to the Etoile Resort, more than forty minutes had passed, and there were still many people who had not yet arrived.
When the time pointed to half past eight, Li Sen picked up the microphone and said loudly to everyone: "I think the time is almost up, and I guess everyone is ready, so our small antique appreciation meeting will start now." ”
As he finished speaking, the hotel staff set up a display table on the small high platform, and the lights were on it, which looked very similar to that.
But after all, it was organized on an impromptu basis, so there were no rules, just one by one to show their collections, and then everyone tasted together, and finally everyone voted together to choose the best one.
Because it is a ticket nature, even if you "win the championship", there is no reward, at most it is just a long face.
