Chapter 54: Am I Counted?
"Looks like you're here prepared today?" Wu Tianyuan looked at a few villains around him and laughed: "Yes, I said that these paintings were entrusted by an elder, but what does this have to do with a few of you?" ”
"Thank goodness we all know we had a holiday. What are the three of you? Are you qualified to question me? ”
"This?" Li Yang's heart was empty, and he secretly looked at Sun Zhong's sunken face, and could only look at Liu Ming and Li Hongfei.
When Liu Ming heard this, he hurriedly explained: "Wu Tianyuan, what you said is not right, they are all Zhongzheng people, we are helping you!" ”
"That is, since someone questions our company's lot in public, it's not just you! As appraisers, we naturally want to protect the interests of the company, right? ”
Wu Tianyuan looked at Li Hongfei, who had a righteous face, and said disdainfully: "You villains still dare to say that they uphold justice?" You don't know, it's these villains who have recently spread rumors about me and Zhongzheng, saying that the lot is not coming from the right way, and there are problems! And now you are still questioning me? ”
"Nonsense!" Li Yang shouted: "What evidence do you have that we spread rumors? You're slandering! ”
"Wu Tianyuan, you can eat indiscriminately, but you can't talk nonsense!" Liu Ming scolded with an angry face: "I am also the vice president of Zhongzheng, and you are responsible for saying this!" ”
"Responsible? I dare to take this responsibility today! Wu Tianyuan said: "Seniors and friends, our collection circle is not big, and there are old faces who come and go. I believe that it will not be difficult to track down, and there will always be a day when the truth will be revealed. Now some people are questioning my lots, all the people who came today are senior connoisseurs, the paintings are hanging there, please everyone to study and identify, I welcome everyone's advice! ”
Song Laoshi couldn't help it, and walked out and said loudly: "I, Song Guobang, can prove that all the paintings here are from the authentic works of Zhang Daqian and Qi Baishi!" Especially the six paintings of Wu Tianyuan, I dare to vouch for my personality! ”
"I can prove it too!"
"And me!"
Several senior experts stood up behind Song Lao, all of whom were well-known local collectors and connoisseurs, and they supported Wu Tianyuan Dao together.
"Even Song Lao came forward to prove it?"
"I also read it just now, and there is no doubt about the authenticity!"
"That's it, I don't believe that the dignified leader Zhongzheng Auction will joke about fakes."
Everyone was gossiping and discussing, and the spearhead was once again pointed at the Xie family, after all, they no longer have trust at all, and everything they said in the hearts of collectors was a lie.
Xie Tian was shocked when he saw it, and hurriedly asked: "Even if it's a genuine work, it's still that old saying, what is your way of coming?" It can't fall from the sky, right? ”
"That's it, what do you say if you don't come from the right way?"
"I'm weird too, you explain."
Several people in the crowd who had been arranged by Xie Tian shouted, asking Wu Tianyuan to explain the specific way of origin.
"I still say the same thing, these are the treasures of my elders! There was absolutely no problem with the way to come! ”
Xie Tian bit this handle and asked, "Elder? Speaking of which, you still can't prove the way you came! If I collect some unearthed goods, they are also genuine, casually saying that they are treasures handed down by the elders, and they are also called orderly sources? ”
"It's just, it has to be explained!"
"Say it, explain it!"
Sun Zhongzheng and Song Lao looked nervous, in the final analysis, it was a question of the source, and many people had doubts in their hearts. It is always unreasonable for an ordinary child to have all kinds of boutiques appear again and again.
"Let me explain!"
Just when Xie Tian looked at Wu Tianyuan and was silent, feeling that victory was in sight, suddenly a voice came, and an old man walked in the crowd.
"Little friend, there is a traffic jam on the road, come one step late!"
Wu Tianyuan hurriedly stepped forward, held the old man's hand tightly, and said gratefully: "It's me who is wrong, it's really hard to let Zhang Lao come all the way." ”
"Brother Zhang Xincheng?"
Sun Zhongzheng took a closer look, was pleasantly surprised, stepped forward a few steps, and greeted.
"Brother Sun, I haven't seen you for two years, you are still in good spirits, and my brother is polite!"
"It's good if you're here, it's good if you're here!"
Everyone looked at the scene in front of them with a confused face, and at the critical moment, an old man suddenly came, looking at Sun Zhongzheng's appearance very politely, who is he?
"Are you Zhang Xincheng? The son of Master Zhang Daqian? ”
Song Lao also stepped forward and asked uncertainly: "We seem to have met in an exchange meeting, I am Song Guobang, and Li Jianfei is my student." ”
"Sword Fly?" When Zhang Xincheng heard this, he suddenly realized and smiled: "Brother Song? I've been hearing that kid mention you, and we only met today. ”
"What? Zhang Xincheng? Zhang Daqian's descendants? ”
"Yes, yes, I said it looks familiar, it's Zhang Xincheng, I've seen it on TV, and it's also a painter, the son of Zhang Daqian!"
"He's here?"
After listening to the discussions of the people around him, Xie Tian looked at Wu Tianyuan's disdainful eyes, and was shocked, and had a bad premonition in his heart.
"Let's talk about the old days later, I'll say a few words first!"
Zhang Xincheng glanced at the audience and said with a full sense of anger: "Friends, my name is Zhang Xincheng, Zhang Daqian's son, and I am also a painter in Beijing. I came here today for the descendants of my father's former friend Mr. Wu - Wu Tianyuan! ”
"What? Descendants of the Wu family? ”
"Listen!"
Zhang Xincheng looked at Xie Tian and snorted coldly: "I'll only say three points!" 1. After I appraised all the paintings taken by Wu Tianyuan this time, it was determined that they were all authentic works of my father Zhang Daqian! ”
"Second, Wu Tianyuan was born in a commoner family, and he was not very rich, but his grandfather Wu Zhenchuan and his father were friends and deceased, and these paintings were directly gifted by Guò's father! At that time, the friendship of the elders was not only maintained by money, Wu Tianyuan was the younger generation of our Zhang family, and it was my Zhang Xincheng's old friend! ”
Wu Tianyuan was very moved, he had only seen Zhang Lao, and he really couldn't afford the four words of forgetful friends.
"Last point, Sun Zhongzheng and I are also friends, we have known each other for many years, and I dare to vouch for his personality, his character is trustworthy, please refer to the above words."
After hearing this, everyone was in an uproar, not knowing who would take the lead in applauding first, and the audience instantly burst into thunderous applause. Today is really rare, to be able to see the descendants of the master with my own eyes, a rare fate.
"Whatever your purpose, I warn you not to slander others with my father's works in the future! Otherwise, I will definitely use the law to defend the reputation of our Zhang family! ”
Zhang Xincheng looked at Xie Tian and them with a look of disgust, gave a cold warning, turned around and left with Sun Zhongzheng.
"It's over! It's all over! ”
Xie Tian saw Xie Rongcheng, who had left a long time ago, sat on the ground and muttered to himself like a madman. He originally thought that victory was in sight and he would be able to defeat Wu Tianyuan immediately, but he didn't expect that in the end, people would invite Zhang Xincheng as a guarantee!
With this relationship, who can blame Wu Tianyuan? At that time, the paintings were clearly priced, and all the painters had runges, which were not as expensive as they are now. If you really want to be a friend of the master, let alone six, no matter how many are the authentic works of orderly origin.
"What should I do?" Li Yang looked panicked, grabbed Li Hongfei and said urgently: "What should we do this time?" ”
"That's it! Succeed in the king, the skills are not as good as others! Li Hongfei instantly seemed to be a few years older, looked at Wu Tianyuan's background from a distance, and regretted it very much: "I knew today, why bother in the first place." Let's fly separately when disaster comes! ”
Liu Ming looked sluggish, suddenly came back to his senses, turned around and hurriedly explained to Sun Zhongzheng, he has been saddled for so many years, and there is no merit and hard work, so he must explain.
Because of the appearance of Zhang Xincheng, the venue became lively, and no one cared about Xie's ugly face. Everyone followed the master's son to see the painting. Each one has a unique flavor after listening to the comments of future generations.
"You guy really has a set, even Elder Zhang can be invited!"
Zhou Wenyan looked at the video and was excited: "This time is really exciting, the Jedi counterattacked and turned the tide!" Take it back The leader must be satisfied, anyway, Xie is already stinky, I don't care about stepping on a few more feet, I will turn next month! ”
"Okay, just invite us to dinner then."
Wu Tianyuan looked at Zhou Wenyan's excited expression, and was also very happy, this time he solved Xie's dilemma at once, and also cleared his name through Zhang Xincheng, and no one would be able to question his origin in the future. In fact, in the final analysis, I am still underqualified, and after a while, when I have a reputation, no one will dare to say that I came from the wrong way!
"Today I announce one thing, in the morning Li Hongfei and Li Yang have taken the initiative to resign and leave the company!"
The next morning, Lao Yu held a solemn meeting to announce the news, Li Hongfei and Li Yang seemed to know that their affairs were exposed, and instead of being fired, it was better to take the initiative to leave and save some face.
"Hmph, it's really interesting to do this kind of thing and let them take the initiative to resign Sun Lao, two traitors!"
"That's it, let's close the door and say to ourselves, everyone has a time to make extra money. Help people take a look, find a suitable collection, and earn a commission. This is all well known, but they collude with outsiders to deal with their own company? It's too much! ”
Lao Yu said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, although Sun Lao has a big belly, there is no settlement after the autumn." But our circle is small, and the two of them can't get along anymore. No company will use two traitors who sell for glory, this is retribution. ”
Wu Tianyuan nodded, he didn't have the slightest sympathy for Li Yang and Li Hongfei, he embarrassed himself on the first day he came to the company, provoked several times, and finally betrayed the company in a daze, and he deserved this fate.
"Well, the identification department has two less black sheep, and it will be cleaner in the future. I have informed the Personnel Department to recruit a few more appraisers and assistants. This time, Sun Yuyao and Wu Tianyuan are in charge, and you also enjoy the treatment of an examiner. ”
Everyone laughed, Wu Tianyuan also sighed that the world is impermanent, he was still interviewed last month, and he can interview and assess others in a blink of an eye, which is really interesting.
