Chapter 31 Acceptance of Entrustment
The content of Nuo Nuo's commission this time is: ask Hu Hao to identify the authenticity of a calligraphy and painting. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
This calligraphy and painting is said to be a picture of the great Qing Dynasty calligrapher Zhang Chongpu, who was matched by a friend of Nuo Nuo's husband. The person who sold it at the time claimed that it had been bought at the 2015 Spring Art Auction held by the Shanghai International Commodities Auction Company for 26,500 yuan, and that it was now sold to the Nono couple at a minimum price of 32,000 yuan.
This price is not too expensive for the Nuo Nuo couple, even if it is a fake, it will not be too distressing to buy it.
But Nono had always been skeptical of the character of her husband's friend. When she was suspicious of her husband, that friend also fanned the flames, and there were many rumors from him that were unfavorable to Nono.
Therefore, Nono is actually very reluctant to this transaction. However, she is a wise woman, and she knows that if she accuses her husband's friend in front of him, she may arouse his husband's disgust. Therefore, Nuno did not mention any personal opinion of that friend, but only said that he doubted the authenticity of the calligraphy and painting, and insisted on re-appraising.
The person who sold the picture provided a certificate of authenticity issued by Shanghai International Commodities Auction Co., Ltd. to show that the calligraphy and painting had been authenticated.
Nuonuo's husband has always felt guilty about the last time he was suspicious of Nuonuo, and now he sees that Nuonuo insists on identifying it again, which is not a big deal, so he naturally follows Nuonuo's wishes.
Now, Nuo Nuo and Hu Hao are sitting face-to-face in the customer rest area of Jianwei Studio, and she is leisurely drinking coffee while waiting for Hu Hao's reply.
"Ms. Nuonuo, I have already said before, this is indeed not my good field, why did you still come to the door?" Hu Hao was very helpless about Nuonuo's visit.
"How many times have you said don't call me 'Ms. Nono', it feels too rusty. We should be friends, so you might as well just call me Nono. ”
"It's an honor to be your friend, but after all, you are also my client, and I still have to have at least respect for you, and it is too rude to call the lady by her name. ”
"Well, I'm not forcing you. You also know that my husband's surname is Wu, or you can call me Mrs. Wu directly. ”
"Thank you, Mrs. Wu, for your understanding. Are you here because of that?"
"You just asked me why I came to the door, and I was forced to do it helplessly. Nuo Nuo's voice was like her name, soft and soft, very good, "Every time I call you and tell you about it, you say you are busy, and then hang up in a hurry." I want to see for myself how busy you really are. ”
When an ordinary man hears a beautiful woman speak in a charming but not coquettish tone, as long as the request is not too excessive, I am afraid it is difficult to refuse, but Hu Hao is not an ordinary man.
"Mrs. Wu, I'm really busy, I didn't lie to you. As you can see, I'm alone in the store, and I have to do all the chores myself. Hu Hao looked at the empty reception area counter, and was a little glad that Wang Yiyuan had left early, which just gave him an excuse to be "busy".
"Boss Hu, look at what you said. When I commissioned the first two times, you were the only one in the store, didn't you take it at that time?" said Nono unhurriedly.
"The first two times were different. The first two times were the scope of commissions that our studio accepts on a daily basis, but the appraisal of calligraphy and painting is really not my specialty. Why don't you find a professional appraisal agency?"
"Quite simply, I don't believe them. I only believe in you. ”
"Thank you very much Mrs. Wu for your trust. But I have a specialization in the art industry, I have no research in calligraphy and painting, if I reluctantly accept your commission, I am afraid that I will live up to your trust in me. ”
"Boss Hu doesn't have to be too humble, you have helped me so much, I know you are a capable person. ”
"I'm not being modest. If there's something I can do to help, I'd be happy to help. However, for the appraisal of calligraphy and painting, it is recommended that you find a professional appraisal agency, I can't do anything. ”
"I've said it before, I don't believe them. If Boss Hu thinks it is more appropriate to find a professional appraisal agency, then we might as well modify the content of the commission and entrust you to help me find a trustworthy professional appraisal agency for my appraisal instead. What do you think of this?"
……
The two of them were entangled around this topic for a full hour, and in the end, Hu Hao couldn't find any reason to refuse, so he had to agree.
Nuo Nuo was very happy that Hu Hao finally accepted the entrustment, and hurriedly urged Hu Hao to sign an entrustment agreement and pay the deposit, and this entrustment was officially effective.
After agreeing with Hu Hao to go to his place to pick up calligraphy and paintings the next day, Nuo Nuo left satisfied.
As soon as Nuo Nuo left the studio with his front foot, Chen Yang entered the door with his back foot. Seeing Hu Hao sitting in the rest area with a frown, he couldn't help but smile: "Yo, our Detective Hu will also encounter difficult problems?"
Hu Hao glanced at Chen Yang: "Why are you here?"
"I haven't been here for a long time, and I haven't had anything to do lately, so I'll come and take a look. Chen Yang saw that the counter in the reception area was empty, raised his eyebrows and asked, "What about that dead girl in the circle?
"She had gone beforehand. ”
"This kind of unprofessional employee, and only a good-natured person like you will indulge her like this. If it were me, I would definitely deduct her salary. ”
"Who better than you to be more serious than you? Hu Hao scoffed at Chen Yang's words.
"Hey, hey, I'm here to help our studio talk, why are you pulling it on my head, circle her early and leave early, but you don't say it. Men and women are treated differently, it's really unfair!" Chen Yang looked wronged.
"Leave her alone, it's better than her being idle every day to ask about Xiao Han. After Hu Hao answered, he turned his head and continued to look at the entrustment agreement he had just signed and frowned.
As soon as Xiao Han's matter was mentioned, Chen Yang pursed his lips and didn't dare to answer. turned around and took a glass of water for himself, then moved the coffee cup that Nuo Nuo had just finished drinking to the side and sat opposite Hu Hao.
Seeing that Hu Hao was still frowning, Chen Yang couldn't help but start teasing again: "What is this that makes our detective so embarrassed? ”
"Just accepted a commission and was a bit of a hassle. ”
"Really, I saw the woman named Nono when I came here just now, and it was her commission again?"
"Well, that's her. She said she only trusted our studio, alas. ”
"Hahaha, if it weren't for her husband being a hundred times stronger than you, I almost wondered if she had an intention on you. Seeing Hu Hao's gaze at him, Chen Yang quickly changed the topic again, "Okay, this shows that our studio is highly efficient and popular with customers." What kind of commission is it this time, is it troublesome?"
"It's a lot of trouble, see for yourself. Hu Hao handed the agreement he had just signed to Chen Yang.
