Chapter 20 Dismounted
It was late at night, Wei Xia had already fallen asleep in a daze, and after a while, in the darkness, he felt someone climb into his bed and put his hand on his chest.
He could tell who he was with his eyes closed, because he smelled the unique perfume smell on Li Mengyao's hair. He didn't say anything, just grabbed her waist and hugged her into his arms.
It was night, the city was quiet, and under the staggered moonlight and the lights of the city, two hearts collided with each other.
On the other side, at Su Anxi's house, she looked at the empty house and felt that she was a little humble, and loneliness swept over.
Early the next morning, Wei Xia quietly dressed and came to the living room, sitting on the sofa and reading the newspaper.
Li Mengyao staggered, and hurriedly fled back to her bedroom unkempt.
It was a long time before she got dressed and walked out.
Looking at her appearance, Wei Xia actually thought she was a little cute, and even almost forgot that this Li Mengyao was just a stepping stone for her to successfully enter the antique world.
At this time, Li Jiacheng's scolding broke the silence in the villa:
"What? Are you guys mistaken, didn't you say it yesterday? How did you change it to the auction house's five lots? If you make a mistake, will we have to pay for the money you lost at that time?
The person on the other end of the phone said contemptuously and arrogantly: "Didn't you say that this kid Wei Xia would never be mistake......n?
Before Li Jiacheng could finish speaking, the person on the other end of the phone had already hung up the phone. He couldn't help but mutter, "What kind of person, this is!"
"Okay, okay, let's get rid of my anger, don't be angry, let's eat breakfast. ”
Mother Li had already come to the coffee table with her breakfast, and the hot milk, freshly baked crispy bread, and pieces of glossy butter were placed in delicate silverware and presented in front of several people.
Wei Xia didn't care if Li Jiacheng was angry just now, picked up a piece of bread and said, "Uncle, why are you so angry, those people have changed their minds?"
After Li Jiacheng sat down, he took a sip of black coffee and said, "After discussing it yesterday, they decided to let you go and help our most famous auction house here to appraise five things. If in the end, the result of your appraisal is exactly right. Then they will invest in you and will also let you directly get permission to participate in the auction. ”
Wei Xia wondered: "Isn't that a good thing? Longsheng Auction House is the most authoritative auction house we have here, if I can show my face here, then the business of the Gilded Pavilion will definitely be thriving, and I can't even open a national chain store."
Li Jiacheng frowned: "How can it be so simple, they want to see you make a fool of yourself, if you misestimate something, the auction house will put the responsibility on you at that time." Aren't you going to be the laughing stock of the antiques world then?"
Wei Xia was confident, and after taking a sip of coffee, he said, "Uncle Li, you can rest assured of this. I won't let you down. ”
Time came to noon in a flash, Li Jiacheng signaled his driver to drive Wei Xia and himself to the auction house, and as soon as the two of them arrived at the door of the auction house, Wei Xia saw three strange-shaped men standing there from a distance.
One of them was a little bald, with gray hair, and a mustache on his lips that made him look very obscene, and the other, although thin and tall, had heavy dark circles under his eyes, deep-set eyes, and a look of kidney deficiency. The last one is a mouth full of big gold teeth, but his face is covered with pimples, and he is still smoking a cigarette at this time, and his face is full of greasy.
Wei Xia took the initiative to smile and shook hands with the three of them and said, "These three must be Boss Li, Boss Tang and Boss Liu, right?"
But the three of them looked at him with a very disdainful look, as if telling him that he was simply humiliating himself by coming. Then, as if he hadn't heard what he said, he said, "Let's go, everything is upstairs." ”
Because the three of them are investors in Li Jiacheng's antique shop, Li Jiacheng can only introduce Wei Xia's achievements to the three of them.
The tall and thin man coughed and said, "Tsk, is this true?" I didn't expect that the little brother was not very old, and he still had such a ability, if I didn't stand with Li Jiacheng, then I would still think that you were a hairy boy who didn't know where to apply for the auctioneer. ”
Wei Xia said without humility or arrogance: "Uncle, people should not be disguised, I will definitely surprise you in a while." ”
Wei Xia followed them in the elevator, stepping on the red velvet carpet on the second floor, to a soundproof room. In the gentle light, a long table of carved boxwood appeared in front of everyone, and the room also exuded the aroma of rosewood.
The antiques on the table were covered with red silk cloths, and a woman in a suit with white gloves on her hands bowed respectfully to the others.
Wei Xia guessed that the white-bearded fat man was Boss Tang mentioned by Li Jiacheng, he actually walked up to the girl in a suit in front of several people, slapped her buttocks, grabbed it hard, and then said, "Wu Xiaohua, start today's appreciation, right?"
Before Wei Xia could complain about the rustic name and his vulgarity, the thing on the table had already attracted his attention.
This is a black lacquer metal carving, a black tiger with a large mouth open in blood, but the black lacquer on the body is very uneven, and the workmanship is very bad at first glance.
Li Jiacheng saw at a glance that this thing was not a good treasure, he didn't expect these three people to make things difficult for Wei Xia like this, and said in a low voice: "How can you bring this kind of stall goods to him for identification?
Boss Tang shrugged his shoulders and said: "The so-called treasure appreciation, that is, naturally, no matter how much value the thing can be identified, it can be regarded as a real skill." What if you can only identify those high-priced things, and if you want to dump some cheap antiques?"
This fat man's words are reasonable, and he has eloquent words, so that Li Jiacheng can't refute it, but he knows that this is what they are humiliating, Wei Xia, he feels that his eyesight is not enough.
However, even Li Jiacheng didn't expect that Wei Xia actually clapped his hands and admired again and again at this time: "Wonderful, it's just wonderful!"
