The scene was cold for a while, and the onlookers were all stunned, no one could not understand the meaning of Shang Xunyi's words, and they could also measure the weight behind it.

Auction fakes, what an impact this has on the authority and credibility that Nicholas has accumulated in the business world over the years.

Zosy was also surprised, assuming that although he had a shady deal with Nicholas, he probably did not know that Nicholas had resorted to such a trick for the sake of profit—this kind of thing, of course, the fewer people Nicholas wanted to know, the better.

Nicholas was visibly stunned, and there was a glimmer of panic on his face that was not easy to catch, and everyone was waiting for him to give an explanation, and he could not help but remain silent at this time.

After a while, he reluctantly said, "This ...... I'm afraid ......"

There was a faint smile on the corner of my lips, and I took Nicholas's words and said unhurriedly: "Yes, I'm afraid Mr. Stewart made a mistake, right?" How can 'crystal' be fake? Even if we don't believe in Mr. Nicholas's ability to discern art, we shouldn't doubt Mr. Nicholas's business reputation, right? ”

As soon as the words came out, everyone present looked at me a little strangely, with my current position, shouldn't it be reasonable to agree with Shang Xunyi's statement? Because if, as he said, the "crystal" damaged by me is fake and not worth much at all, then wouldn't I be able to avoid the 100 million compensation?

"But," I chuckled, "for the sake of Mr. Nicholas's reputation, I thought it would be better to have the experts of Sotheby's, together with the top authorities in the industry, come and do a thorough appraisal in order to correct Mr. Nicholas's name, but if ......," I paused, and the corners of my lips raised, and quietly defeated him, "if it was really Mr. Nicholas who had lost his eyes for a moment. If you accidentally collect a fake without noticing this detail, you can also ask people to investigate where the real 'crystal' is at the moment. ”

In fact, there is no doubt at all that it would be difficult to find out the real "crystals" from Sotheby's to the name of a Chinese entrepreneur to the hands of Nicholas? I don't have much interest in making Nicholas pay anything, I just want him to hand over the real "crystal". If he refuses to let go and find himself a step, once he brings in an expert, things will get out of hand, and it will be himself who suffers losses - not only money, but also reputation.

"Well, that's exactly what I want." Shang Jingyi hooked his lips and smiled, and he cooperated quite tacitly.

"yes. ...... should be done"

"It really deserves a thorough evaluation."

……

The onlookers also whispered, and most of them agreed with this approach, which made it difficult for Nicholas to ride the tiger for a while.

Now, it must not be difficult for Zosi to understand when he sees me and Shang Xunyi singing and harmonizing like this, but since he has seen it, why didn't he intervene or even intervene to relieve Nicholas?

The so-called thief must have a weak heart. Things are gradually getting out of control, and Nicholas obviously can't let the plot develop to the worst. He calmed down his breath and said to Shang Xunyu and everyone present: "Everyone...... I thought it would be necessary for me to first interrogate my business manager, David, who was in charge of all the items in this auction...... Please wait a moment, I will be sure to explain to you. "That's it. He wanted to leave.

"It's true, I heard the owner tell David to replace the real 'crystal' before the auction began......" The man's words suddenly flashed in his impression, and it seemed that Nicholas was looking for a scapegoat.

"Mr. Nicholas, please stay." I interrupted his haste to leave, and though he didn't have the power to put things to a halt, he was out of the public eye. Our plan to uncover his conspiracy will end in a dead end, "I think, it's better to solve it here, just in front of everyone, deal with it publicly, it's also a proof of your reputation, isn't it?" ”

Nicholas grimaced and smiled as naturally as he could, "Of course, I'd love to do that......" he turned to his assistant next to him, "Call David." ”

"Yes."

"Mr. Stewart, friends, please rest assured, I will give you a satisfactory answer later." Nicholas made a calm gesture, as if he was gradually regaining his composure.

Listening to Nicholas's unhurried voice, his eyes casually threw at me elsewhere, but I inexplicably felt a beam of gaze cast on, I looked back, in the bright light, the corners of the lips of the young master Shang Da had always risen casually with warmth, and he looked at me, and blinked quite playfully while everyone was not paying attention.

Does this count as a thank you? I would have thought and smiled at him.

Others didn't notice it, but Zoshi noticed the interaction between me and him, and his eyes flashed with a strange look, and he said, "Ruori, I've been standing for so long, can I accompany you to rest around here?" Rest assured, Mr. Nicholas will take care of it. ”

It's good. I thought to myself that the fuse had been lit, and the rest would be a matter of course, and it would make no difference whether I was there or not.

Five minutes later, I was sitting in the lounge area next to me, and I saw David rushing over, I had just seen him at the auction, he was the custodian in charge of all the items in this auction, and he was also in charge of this auction, a man in his 30s.

"David," Nicholas said, "are you in charge of these works of art before they are auctioned?" ”

"Yes, master." David bowed.

"So do you know that something is wrong with that violin 'Crystal'?" Nicholas said, his voice soft, but plain with some strength.

"This-" The expected surprised reaction, David obviously couldn't be as cunning as Nicholas, his face didn't change, and he was a thief, his face was blue and white at this time, and his voice began to tremble, "This, master, I ......"

"It's really you." Nicholas didn't give him time to explain, as if he was in a hurry to convict David, he narrowed his eyes, and his words were full of cruelty, "David, I have always trusted you to cultivate you, I didn't expect you to do such a thing that would damage the company's business reputation!" ”

"Master, I, I didn't ......" The matter was clearly instructed by Nicholas, David didn't want to carry the black cauldron, but at this time on Nicholas's territory, presumably most of David's life was also in Nicholas's hands, and the master could not afford to offend, at this time, there was only a hundred words of incomprehension and suffering.

"You don't?" The shrewd merchant was already in a loud voice, "You are in charge of these collections all the time, and who else has such skills and convenience during this period!" ”

"I ...... I'm ......" David's voice was already a little crying, but he was forced by Nicholas's lewdness. Wei didn't dare to resist, and finally compromised: "Master, master spare me......" (To be continued......)
