After getting the fire lingzhi, Tang Yin came to the antique street as usual.

"Recently, there may be a large number of antiques will arrive!" During the chat, the master Sun Laogen told Tang Yin a piece of news.

Tang Yin's eyes lit up suddenly, because he was too famous, he was rarely able to pick up the leaks, because once he appeared, even if he was looking at a fake and fake, the owner of the antique would offer a sky-high price.

It is precisely because of this that he considered whether to hire some people to secretly buy an antique after he took a fancy to it.

Now that a new batch of antiques was coming, it was his chance to show his strength, and he decided to do it immediately.

Walking out of the master's shop, Tang Yin walked to the jade carving Liu's shop.

Hey?

Tang Yin was shocked when he walked to the door, Meng Jinyu was there, Tang Yin was not very surprised by this, after the old man Meng retired, he would often come to the antique street to shop.

Jade carving Liu is the apprentice of Old Man Meng, and it is normal to go to the store to rest every time he comes.

The problem is another person, Xu Tianxiang!

Xu Tianxiang and Meng Jinyu have always been at odds with each other, and if there is no need, the two of them will not greet each other even if they meet.

Now sitting together, how can they not surprise Tang Yin?

Especially the diametrically opposed expressions of the two, Meng Jinyu smiled, Xu Tianxiang was gloomy, there must be something.

"The surname is Tang, I didn't expect you to be young and look very sunny, but you are so insidious!" Seeing Tang Yin coming over, Xu Tianxiang immediately started spraying.

What's the situation?

Looking at Xu Tianxiang's performance, Tang Yin realized that Xu Tianxiang did not come for Old Man Meng, but clearly for him.

Tang Yin wondered, the club's carving business had been taken over by Xu Tianxiang, and he was eliminated miserably, but looking at Xu Tianxiang's attitude, why did it seem to be reversed?

The old man Meng Jinyu next to him took a sip of tea from the teacup very leisurely, and he didn't look like he was going to open his mouth at all, but on the contrary, he was smiling and ready to watch a good show.

"Xu Tianxiang, although you are older, it doesn't mean that you can rely on the old and sell the old!" Tang Yin was also polite.

He is not used to Xu Tianxiang, and he is not afraid that Xu Tianxiang will issue him a ban order, because he does not make a living by carving.

He first learned to carve a seal for himself only because of the advice of his master Sun Laogen.

Later, in the process of studying, he found that carving was also quite interesting, and coupled with Meng Jinyu's guidance, he further studied carving.

Carving is his hobby, but it is not a means to make a living, so Xu Tianxiang can influence the carving world of Longmen and block him, but he is not afraid at all.

"Let me ask you, did you let Meng Tinghan pick bones in his eggs?" Hearing Tang Yin say that he relied on the old and sold the old, Xu Tianxiang's face darkened.

He is angry not because he relies on the old and sells the old, but because he has a taboo about the word "old".

It's not that he's afraid of death, but because once a person gets old, his body functions will deteriorate and his physical strength will decline, which will have too much impact on the carving industry.

Even if you have profound carving skills, if you don't have enough physical strength, you can only carve some small pieces at best.

And he is now facing this situation, finally Meng Jinyu retired, he became the first person in the Longmen carving industry, the president of the carving association, but had to face the fact of physical decline.

So for the word "old", he is very taboo now, every time he hears this word, he feels very harsh, and it can even easily arouse his anger.

"Meng Tinghan, pick a bone in an egg?" Hearing Xu Tianxiang's words, Tang Yin suddenly realized that he knew what was going on.

It must have been when Xu Tianxiang was carving, and Meng Tinghan went to find it

It's troublesome, and it's still a nose and an eye.

The problem is that this is really not what he instigated, Xu Tianxiang was able to win this business, although Tang Yin was a little angry at the time and a little unconvinced, but he never thought of competing through crooked means.

He is confident in his carving skills, and his carving skills are improving rapidly, strength is enough, where do you need crooked means?

Misunderstand!

A misunderstanding for sure!

But Tang Yin didn't explain, he knew that with Xu Tianxiang's current mentality, he had already determined it, and it was useless to explain it.

"I'm afraid you really have a problem, and you don't want to admit it, right?" Then Tang Yin thought of another thing, why was Xu Tianxiang so angry?

If his carving is really flawless, even if Meng Tinghan wants to find trouble and really picks bones in the egg, it will not have much impact.

At most, it is to find some nitpicking, not to mention that Xu Tianxiang also has acquaintances, and Lao Xiao will support him.

And now that Xu Tianxiang is so angry, the only possibility is that Lao Xiao didn't stand up, or it didn't work if he stood up.

The possibility of not standing up is very small, that is, standing up does not work, which means that there is really something wrong.

"You are talking nonsense, what can be wrong with my carving?" As soon as he heard Tang Yin's words, Xu Tianxiang became even more annoyed.

"It's not up to you to decide if there's a problem, let me guess, when I went that day, the club said that they were going to carve a large statue, right?"

"Nonsense!"

"A large statue and a very tight deadline mean that you have to hurry, but you are not young now, and your physical strength will definitely not be able to keep up, so I guess some unimportant parts, you handed them over to your apprentice, right?" Tang Yin continued to speculate.

Because he knows Xu Tianxiang very well, although his carving skills are a little worse than Meng Jinyu, he is second to none in Longmen.

In terms of skills, Meng Tinghan definitely can't find any faults.

Since this can only be outside of skills, or outside of Xu Tianxiang, Tang Yin immediately thought that Xu Tianxiang was old, and I was afraid that it was not enough to support continuous high-intensity carving.

However, the construction period is very tight, and you can't take it slowly.

The only way is for him to carve the difficult parts himself and give the low difficulty parts to the apprentices to complete.

The problem is that once this is done, there must be some dissonance between different people, different carving skills and different carving standards, focusing on the same statue.

Tang Yin speculated that Meng Tinghan might have grasped this point.

"You didn't instruct it, you clearly told him!" Hearing Tang Yin's words, Xu Tianxiang's face was a little distorted.

He concluded that Meng Tinghan, as a layman of carving, could not see the difference between his carving and the carving of his apprentices, and there must be someone behind him.

And the person who pointed out it couldn't be Meng Jinyu.

Because he knows Meng Jinyu very well, he disdains to do this kind of thing.

Since it is not Meng Jinyu, the biggest possibility is Tang Yin, and it is precisely because he thinks so that he has today's trip to the antique street.

Now when he heard Tang Yin's words, he became more and more convinced that this was the case.

"I thought something was wrong, it turned out that your master and apprentice cooperated and were seen by the master!" Meng Jinyu, who had not spoken, spoke.

Master-apprentice cooperation is nothing new.

The premise is that the employer allows it, and without the permission of the employer, once it is discovered, it is possible to directly ask for a new one.

"Don't you talk about me, haven't you done the same?" Xu Tianxiang said angrily.

This is the most unbalanced place in his heart, Meng Jinyu before retirement, because of his poor physical strength, when he took over some carving business, it was also the most complex and important part of his carving, and the other simple parts were handed over to the apprentices to complete.

Meng Jinyu has never hidden anything from anyone in doing this, and no one of the main families is looking for trouble, so why can't he do it?

"You're right, I did do this, and many times, but before I do it, I always communicate with the host family first and get permission from the employer, do you do this?" Meng Jinyu asked with a smile.

A carving, if you need to cooperate with many people to complete, will definitely be more or less incoordinated, so before multiple people cooperate, you must ask for the consent of the employer, otherwise it may be done in vain, and sometimes even have to compensate for the cost of materials.

"I ......" Xu Tianxiang opened his mouth and didn't speak.

He really didn't ask for his employer's consent, otherwise Meng Tinghan would have gone back to the trouble of coming to him under such an excuse.

"It turns out that you did this secretly and were caught!" Tang Yin looked suddenly enlightened, looking at Xu Tianxiang with a mocking smile.

"The surname is Tang, this is just a very normal carving method......" Xu Tianxiang said and got up and left, he also realized that he couldn't take advantage of it.

The purpose of his coming today was to vent the resentment accumulated by Meng Tinghan's reprimand on Tang Yin, but he didn't expect that not only did he not vent his resentment, but he was angry again.

Seeing Xu Tianxiang slip away, everyone present laughed.

"Tang Yin, what do you think?" Meng Jinyu asked Tang Yin.

"What do you think?"

"What else can there be, the statue that the football club needs, Ting Han told me, their football club is the first time to open a branch, so it attaches great importance to it, everything must be kept improving, the statue of Xu Tianxiang and the apprentices is probably difficult to pass the acceptance in the end, maybe you have to go in the end!" Meng Jinyu looked at Tang Yin.

He was also very emotional, he didn't expect that in just a few months, Tang Yin's carving technology had improved by leaps and bounds, although it was not yet at the master level, it was basically invincible below the master level.

In addition, Tang Yin is a very good painter, combining sculpture and painting can make sculpture full of magical artistic conception.

From this point of view, the works carved by Tang Yin can reach the master level in terms of quality, at least in Longmen, no one is better than Tang Yin.

That's why he concluded that if Xu Tianxiang couldn't pass the statue needed by the football club, only Tang Yin could take over.

When Tang Yin and Meng Jinyu were chatting, Xu Tianxiang, who was huffing, was drinking tea with Lao Xiao.

"Lao Xu, can't you really complete the statue alone?" Lao Xiao hesitated, and finally asked.

On the issue of the statue, he and Meng Tinghan once again clashed.

Meng Tinghan firmly grasped one point, the statue completed by the cooperation of multiple people is bound to produce some disharmony.

The statue that their football club needs must be flawless, and this statement is also supported by Wei Zhongping.

At this point, it is useless for Lao Xiao to say anything.

"Is there something decided by the club?" Xu Tianxiang had a bad premonition, and he also knew that although Lao Xiao was a shareholder of the club, the club was not his alone.

Lao Xiao can help him speak, but he can't do a word.

"The club needs a flawless statue, and no discord is allowed, are you sure?" Lao Xiao sighed lightly, the club is still debating whether to replace people, and has not yet reached a final conclusion, but the situation is not optimistic at all.
