Sun Hancheng saw at a glance that there was Zhu Danchen among the people walking in the distance, but his appearance must have changed a lot from a few years ago.

Zhu Danchen's age is almost forty years old, but he looks young and looks like he is just over thirty, he looks like Sven, with a gold-rimmed glasses on his face, and a pair of small but very energetic eyes.

Although many years have passed, Zhu Danchen's appearance has not changed, and it is still the same as before.

"These are the two bosses. Dong Jian walked over and introduced to Zhu Danchen.

Zhu Danchen walked over and glanced at Sun Hancheng and Shen Meng, and immediately showed a look of surprise.

"Oh, Brother Sun, it's you. ”

After seeing Sun Hancheng, Zhu Danchen's expression was very excited, and he stepped forward and grabbed Sun Hancheng's hand, and the joy in his eyes was overflowing. Dong Jian and several people around him who watched the excitement were very surprised, and they couldn't have imagined that their boss would be so excited after seeing this person.

They all know that their boss has always been very gentle and elegant in everything they do, and they have never seen their boss so excited and out of shape.

"Boss Zhu has always been good. Sun Hancheng also greeted Zhu Danchen with a smile.

"Okay, I'm better than anything else when you're here today. Zhu Danchen smiled and looked hearty.

He glanced at Shen Meng next to him, and his eyes were also surprised, Shen Meng's temperament was not an ordinary person at first glance.

"Is this girl a brother or sister?"

Sun Hancheng glanced at Shen Meng, but saw that Shen Meng did not refute. smiled and said, "This is my girlfriend Shen Meng, come over today to disturb Boss Zhu." ”

"Look at what you said, brother, what is it to disturb, it is an honor to be honored. As Zhu Danchen spoke, he let Sun Hancheng and Shen Meng to the inner room.

The room at the back of this can be said to be unique, where Zhu Danchen lives and works.

The young man named Dong Jian immediately brought the freshly brewed tea, the expression on his face was a little embarrassed, and he was also trying to alleviate the embarrassment just now when he poured the tea.

Sun Hancheng smiled at Dong Jian and said, "How does this brother feel about my thing now?"

Dong Jian put down the teapot and smiled awkwardly and said: "This thing must be a genuine product of the Han Dynasty, both the shape and the carving are very open." ”

"Then why weren't you sure at first?" Sun Hancheng asked with a smile.

At this time, Dong Jian's expression was even more embarrassed and said: "Mr. Sun, don't make me happy, those words just now must have been deliberately said by you, now that I think about it, I really admire it, you pinched the hearts of our appraisers." ”

Zhu Danchen didn't know what the two meant, and asked the reason next to him.

Sun Hancheng explained to him and said, "It's nothing, it's just a joke with this little brother just now, otherwise how could he invite you, the boss, out." ”

Zhu Danchen waved his hand to let Dong Jian leave and said to Sun Hancheng: "Brother Sun, when you come, I suddenly have a bottom in my heart, I can't eat, sleep or sleep well these days." ”

Sun Hancheng just heard Cao Mengde say that he was in trouble and wanted Cao Mengde to ask Sun Hancheng for help, but Cao Mengde didn't say anything happened. He also got off the bus in Xijing because he happened to encounter such a thing.

"What happened, Mr. Zhu can say more clearly. ”

Zhu Danchen sighed first and then said: "Here's the thing, you also know that there are so many antique shops in Xijing, and it is really not easy to survive in Xijing, how can you do it if you don't have some real skills." ”

He pointed to his house and said, "Our famous Accord has survived for so many years because of a long time and a little reputation in the antique circle, but now it is getting worse and worse." ”

Sun Hancheng nodded, this is for sure, no matter what kind of industry it is, it is always the survival of the fittest, Xijing, as a two-thousand-year-old city, has always abided by this law, and there are more antiques in the antique circle, which is naturally even more cruel.

Zhu Danchen drank a cup of tea and continued: "Not long ago, our very famous Wei Gongzi in Xijing found me and asked me to help identify something, because this Wei Gongzi is simply too important, and he is a very famous person in Xijing, if he can get in touch with Wei Gongzi, then it will be very beneficial to the development of our famous Yage." ”

Sun Hancheng nodded and said: "I have heard of Wei Gongzi, he is a very famous rich second generation in Xijing, but I heard that this reputation is not very good." ”

Zhu Danchen's face was a little embarrassed and said: "That's right, this is exactly the reason why I'm worried, this Wei Gongzi didn't have much intersection with our famous hall before. On the contrary, we have a deep friendship with our main competitor, Jikosai. ”

Shen Meng, who was on the side, said: "Since Jigu Zhai is also in the antique business, if there is something to see, then this person surnamed Wei should be more likely to find Ji Gu Zhai, why should he look for your famous Accord?"

Zhu Danchen glanced at Shen Meng and smiled, and said: "Yes, Miss Shen also feels that this matter is not quite right, this is what I am worried about, I have inquired a lot of news in the past few days, and the more I know, the more worried I am that this is a Hongmen banquet, so that I can't eat." ”

Sun Hancheng took a sip of tea and asked, "Since it was said that you should be asked to identify a thing, then you can go, as long as it is identified, what can be the problem." ”

Zhu Danchen said with a somewhat embarrassed expression: "Brother Sun, you make me a little embarrassed by this, you also know that although our family has been engaged in the antique business for three generations, my eyesight can only be regarded as average, if tonight's appraisal is really a conspiracy against our famous Accord, it must be extremely calculating, and I can't deal with it myself." ”

Sun Hancheng was stunned after hearing this: "You mean it's tonight?"

Zhu Danchen nodded and said, "That's right, it's tonight, so after seeing you, I feel like I've seen a lifesaver." ”

Sun Hancheng smiled and said, "Then don't think about it, let's come and cover the water." ”

At night, you can still see the appearance of the ancient city in Xijing, where the old city wall is very well preserved, and from a distance it looks like a steel dragon in front of you.

When Sun Hancheng came out of the canyon, the first city he went to was Xijing, where he met Cao Mengde and others, and also saw the dark side of the antique circle that is difficult to see in Luming Town.

There is a dark side in any industry, and the antique shop, which is very mysterious to ordinary people, has countless secrets and pickles.

The Saikyo Hotel at night is more beautiful than during the day. The glittering hotel is more like a stage to show the ancient Xijing, and even if you don't enter it, many people take pictures outside the hotel.

Sun Hancheng, Shen Meng, and Zhu Danchen came to Xijing Hotel together. In the evening, Wei Gongzi's banquet was here.

Zhu Danchen had inquired about the content of this banquet before, but he knew that Wei Gongzi invited more than just one of their famous restaurants, but also some other people in the antique circle, which can be regarded as very good specifications.

The three of them had made it very clear before, Sun Hancheng did not take the initiative to reveal his identity, during this time, Sun Hancheng made a lot of trouble in Nanjiang and Tianrenju, and his reputation was there, but for Sun Hancheng, he didn't want to use such a reputation to achieve anything.

Under the leadership of the usher, the three of them came to the top floor of the Xijing Hotel, and in the hall on the top floor, it was indeed a very grand buffet reception.

There are a lot of people who come, although Sun Hancheng doesn't know them, but from the breath of these people, you can feel that these people have a sense of elegance brought by long-term contact with antiques.

Sun Hancheng said beside Zhu Danchen: "There are really a lot of people who came today, all of them are people in the antique circle, why are so many people here to ask you to come to appraisal?"

Zhu Danchen was also a little dazed and said: "I don't know, you see that the person who walked over just now is Gu Sai, the chief appraiser of Yaxuan." ”

He said to a middle-aged man who was talking on the phone in the distance: "The one who called is Song Delu, the appraiser of Xijing Dejia Auction House, these people's appraisal strength is very strong, I can invite these people to appraisal, why do I need to appraise it." ”

Sun Hancheng said: "It's okay, let's see the situation later, you can just listen to me when the time comes." ”

After listening to this, Zhu Danchen nodded again and again, and Sun Hancheng's eyes were full of gratitude.

They walked in and took a casual look, and at this time, Zhu Danchen's face suddenly changed, and he said to Sun Hancheng: "The people from Jigu Zhai are really here. ”

Sun Hancheng looked in the direction pointed by Zhu Danchen, and saw a few people not far away talking and laughing with wine glasses.

Zhu Danchen helped Sun Hancheng and said: "That middle-aged man is Cui Daming, the owner of Jigu Zhai, who became like a mortal enemy because he robbed their family of a single business, and almost all the antique shops in Xijing knew that our two families did not deal with each other. ”

All the people Zhu Danchen knew at the scene introduced Sun Hancheng all over again, and Sun Hancheng felt that there were wolves everywhere around him, and they were looking at Zhu Danchen's sheep.

Sun Hancheng said: "I didn't expect Xijing to be so chaotic after leaving for so long. ”

Zhu Danchen said helplessly: "There is no way to do this. ”

After Shen Meng came in, she walked away alone, she was here to play, so she didn't want to get involved in the things inside, as for tonight's affairs, let Sun Hancheng and Zhu Danchen deal with it themselves.

Sun Hancheng and Zhu Danchen were talking, and they felt that the atmosphere of the scene had changed suddenly, and he was stunned for a moment and looked around, and saw that many people's eyes were looking towards one of the doors, and it turned out that there were a few people at the door.
