"You mean......" Huang Laohan looked at Si Junxian hesitantly, and then said, "I want to hear it in detail." ”

Luo Xi really admires Mr. Huang's demeanor, if it were put on ordinary people, I am afraid that he would have been expelled a long time ago.

She only now understood that Si Junxian had probably done her homework a long time ago, so she sat quietly and listened carefully.

"The works in our hands were commissioned by the UAC on our behalf, and you know, no one would be willing to sell such a national treasure unless it was absolutely necessary. Most collectors sell because they need money urgently, or they want to keep their collections in exchange for more valuable collections. Si Junxian stated slowly, and Huang Lao bowed his head from time to time to express his approval.

"The reason why I say this work is not the right way is because it should have been a burial object in a mausoleum, and it should not have been in the world. But it is difficult to distinguish between the contents of the tomb and the fake, and even if they are brought out, they will not necessarily be known, let alone decades ago. As for why it went from one to two, I think you already know by now. Si Junxian didn't say anything, and looked at Huang Lao.

Huang Lao picked up the teacup and found that the tea was cold, so he put it down again.

"You want it to be my subordinate who unveiled the painting in two and gave me the first layer, while he left the second layer. ”

"Yes. ”

The name of the collector is the highest secret of the UAC, and Luo Xi's permission to see the name of the person who belongs to the work is remembered, and she remembers it to be an English name, Dennis.

Could it be that Dennis is a subordinate of Huang Lao? Luo Xi thought secretly.

After a short silence, Mr. Huang objected, "What you said is just speculation, maybe this work has been revealed into two pieces a long time ago?"

Si Junxian smiled lightly, "Old Huang, you are an expert, you shouldn't need me to explain anything." Now that the two works are placed together, one need only look at the paper, the color of the ink, and the framing techniques to show that the age of separation is not so long. The purpose of our trip is just to confirm the authenticity of the work, and as for the story behind it, we will not explore it. Since the work is true and there is no objection from both parties, then we will take our leave. ”

After speaking, he wanted to get up, and motioned for Luo Xi to leave with his eyes.

Luo Xi comprehended, didn't say much, followed behind Si Junxian, and said goodbye to Huang Lao.

"Wait. Huang Lao looked at the backs of the two young people, and his tone was a little serious: "Since these two paintings are originally from the same painting, I think it's better to combine the two into one." ”

Luo Xi's heart sank, sure enough, the other party was not good, but just looked kind on the surface.

If two authentic works exist at the same time, the value will inevitably be greatly reduced. Moreover, Huang Lao was calculated by his old subordinates, and it should be very uncomfortable to treat the only two works in the world as a treasure, right?

At the same time, Luo Xi also knows very well that it is not appropriate to truthfully disclose the matter to the public, so that UAC and Jiayu may be given an unknown black name by people with good intentions, and their reputation will be affected. Although contractually, the painting itself is not a counterfeit and does not involve a breach of contract.

At the end of the day, it's just the reputation that is damaged. But in the industry, reputation is the highest good.

In short, it's tricky to deal with.

"Huang Lao, this work has already been auctioned, if you have such an idea, it is best to communicate with the collector. There's nothing we can do to help. Si Junxian declined.

"Yes? That's fine. Huang Lao bowed slightly, "Then send off the guests." ”

As soon as the words fell, the curator pushed the door and entered, as well as the man who had served by Huang Lao's side before.

The man just wanted to roll up the scroll, but Si Junxian blocked his hand and said, "Don't worry, I'll come." ”

"Sir, you are a guest, and there is no reason for you to do it yourself. "The man was very polite.

But Si Junxian insisted, "Huang Lao's hospitality is impeccable, but calligraphy and painting are precious, so it's better not to go through the hands of others." ”

The young man looked at Mr. Huang with some embarrassment, and said lightly, "Do what the guest says." ”

After the paintings were put away, the curator took Si Junxian and Luo Xi out of the courtyard.

"I arranged a car to take the two of them back to the hotel. The curator said politely.

"No need, we have a car. "Before Si Junxian came, he asked for a business car service from the hotel.

"Okay. The two walked slowly. The curator smiled and watched the two get into the car, and then immediately took out his mobile phone, dialed a number, reported the license plate number, and then ordered: "Follow them closely and see which hotel they are staying in." ”

On the way back, Si Junxian suddenly rose up and said that he wanted to go to the most prosperous business district.

Luo Xi asked him, "Do you have something to hide from me?"

Si Junxian looked sideways and said the word "yes" in a grand manner.

"What is it?" Luo Xi asked.

"I have a lot of things to hide from you, I don't know which one you are talking about?" Si Junxian said seriously.

Luo Xi didn't eat his set, and said directly: "It's about the work." Did you already know what was going on? Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

"But I don't want to discuss this with you right now. What I want to talk to you about is another thing. "Si Junxian sold Guanzi.

"What?" Luo Xi thought it was related, and couldn't help but become curious.

Si Junxian stared at her eyes, glanced at the back window of the car, and said with a light smile: "I deliberately lit the prenuptial agreement. ”

Luo Xi is simply out of temper, what is this irrelevant, do you have to confess at this time?

"Also, actually, I didn't want to marry you in the first place......" Si Junxian seemed to be addicted to it, and began to talk about his careful thoughts.

Luo Xi was angry and funny, so he asked him: "So you are not a cheating marriage, but a cheating marriage?"

"No, strictly speaking, you also have feelings for me, this can't be called deception, it can only be regarded as inducement. Si Junxian was high-sounding, and retorted that Luo Xi was always one by one, so that Luo Xi had no power to fight back.

Luo Xi knew that he was deliberately changing the topic, so he came back and whispered: "You had to scroll the scroll by yourself just now, because you were afraid that they would steal the beams and change the pillars, right?"

Si Junxian raised his eyebrows and didn't answer, but his expression was already acquiescing.

"But how could they do it when the two of us were staring at the same time?" Luo Xi asked again.

"There are so many ways to do it, you can't guess, just because it won't happen. Si Jun replied envially.

"Then if they didn't succeed, why would they let us go so easily?"

"Do you think they're giving up?"

When Luo Xi heard this, he subconsciously looked through the back window, but was suddenly held down by Si Junxian on the back of his head, pulled in front of him, and kissed him.

"Don't look. He kissed lightly, along the line of his lips to his ear, "Just as we go shopping, have a date, and get rid of the people who come with us." ”

In Luo Xi's voice, Si Junxian's voice sounded a little excited.

She guessed that Si Junxian would not go to the mall for no reason, it seemed that she didn't think too much.

She thought silently that she must find an opportunity to ask Si Junxian the ins and outs of the whole matter.

What is the connection between this old Mr. Huang and his subordinates, as well as Dennis, who commissioned the collection to be sold?

Since the painting is a burial item, how did Huang Lao's subordinates get it in the first place?

Or is this matter itself an oolong formation, and what secrets are hidden behind it?
