Chapter 69: The Apprentice Turmoil
But sometimes it's better to think about it than yourself. I hold on to my dignity, but I can't even afford to get married.
"Zhang Haoran, come up and help the master. Xu Tian saw that Zhang Haoran was still standing, his face was unnatural. I knew that it was Zhang Haoran who was a young man with a thin face. I must have minded using my own way of making money last time and wanted to teach him how to identify the skills by myself. But these are nothing to Xu Tian, and after living for a long time, he naturally knows what an enemy is and what a friend is. Sometimes the enemy of the enemy is also a friend.
Those customers who surrounded Xu Tian turned around one after another, and looked at Zhang Haoran with some surprise, he was actually the apprentice of Xu Tian, a second-level appraiser, at a young age?
How many people here don't know Xu Tian? The antiques he helped to identify have never been missed, and they have an excellent reputation, and they often do good deeds.
People who are familiar with Xu Tian know Xu Tian's name, and they also know that Xu Tian once said that he would not accept apprentices. How many people came here to find him and wanted to be his apprentice, but he refused one by one. said that his skills were not good, but everyone knew that Xu Tian had invited a well-known rich man to be an appraiser with a high salary, and later Xu Tian had the idea of going it alone before he came out and opened an antique shop by himself.
This young man is actually Xu Tian's apprentice, does that also prove that this person does have a very amazing talent, so he let Xu Tian take Xu Tian as an apprentice? Everyone speculated, and at the same time, they didn't forget to take a few more looks at Zhang Haoran's body to see if there was any difference.
"Xu Tian, have you discovered the talent of Tianzhong? You actually accepted apprentices for the first time? At the beginning, my old Chen was not thin on you, I asked my son to learn from you, but you were unwilling, I have asked you for this more than ten times, right? This is not right, you should not do this. ”
"That's right, Xu Tian, I've been looking for you five times as an old bone, you don't accept my grandson, don't you dislike us for having no background, so you're putting up a fight?"
"What about me, I have my own company, I let my son learn from you, and you won't let me, and now you accept apprentices, you are not kind! Don't say buddies don't help you, Xu Tian, you do this to chill our hearts. ”
Xu Tian couldn't imagine that this sentence would cause so much trouble, seeing that everyone was gossiping about Xu Tian's no, and now even Xu Tian was a little flustered.
Indeed, these veterans have been listening to the side knocking and want to let themselves take their sons or grandsons and other relatives as apprentices. And there are some small rich people who know that they also said that they sent their sons.
But Xu Tian really doesn't accept apprentices, as for the young man in front of him, to put it bluntly, he is not an apprentice, he just guides for two or three hours a night. It's just that he shouted like this in order to get closer to Zhang Haoran, but he didn't expect to cause these troubles.
Xu Tian saw sweat on his forehead, and he didn't know how to explain it. These are all old friends who have patronized him for a long time, and they have introduced many friends to him. Now, as soon as Xu Tian opened the shop, there were thirty or forty people surrounding him, and he Xu Tian was the first one here in the antique market.
"Xu Tian, unless you can tell us that he is better than our son, it will be difficult for us to understand you. ”
"Well, Lao Hu's words make sense. In this way, don't say that we are old friends, even outsiders will have a bad impression of you when they hear it. ”
Xu Tian nodded yes again and again, but his mind kept thinking of ways to calm this matter. Saying that Zhang Haoran is not his apprentice will only aim at it more and more, and it will make everyone lose trust in him.
"Master, I reached the junior appraiser in one night, is this considered a talent?" Zhang Haoran had already come to Xu Tian's side, and he was also listening to the situation just now, and he felt very sorry for Xu Tian for causing him so much trouble.
If Zhang Haoran is asked to say that he is special or better than others, Zhang Haoran himself does not know. Everyone is human, and there is something that is better than whom. But now God owes an explanation, and that explanation must calm everyone's anger and complaints.
Isn't it possible to use one's aura to distinguish the quality and value of antiques? At least a junior appraiser can still be competent.
Xu Tian smiled bitterly, he didn't even believe it after listening to Zhang Haoran's words, let alone these emotional old friends outside. But now Xu Tian can't help it, he is anxious, so let's treat a dead horse as a live horse.
"Old friends, it's not that my Xu Tian's words don't count, but the talent of my apprentice in front of me is absolutely one in ten thousand, if I don't accept him as an apprentice, I'm afraid that when the time comes, he will be accepted by others, and I won't be able to rob this talented apprentice!" Xu Tian could have said that he ate by mouth, and he didn't add a few words of foolery when he bragged about antiques on weekdays. At this time, introducing your own apprentice will naturally not save fuel.
"Xu Tian, shouldn't you blow us up with this?"
"yes, how is that possible?"
"How can someone so young and so ordinary-looking, be that kind of person with great talent?"
It's not that everyone doesn't believe Xu Tian, but they don't believe Zhang Haoran. He is too young, and it is estimated that not long after graduation, I am afraid that he may not even know about several major emperors in history, let alone understand any appraisal.
Next, Xu Tian didn't know how to explain, he was anxious just now but he didn't expect this, and at this time, everyone questioned Xu Tian to know the consequences.
"Elders, I, Zhang Haoran, am willing to accept everyone's test here. Zhang Haoran said this, looking at the people who were already quiet, but in their eyes, Zhang Haoran saw contempt and ridicule.
"In this case, you can feel free to bring the antiques and let me help you identify them. If there is anything wrong, please bear with me, if you can say it right, then please don't embarrass my master. Although everyone was not very friendly to look at him, Zhang Haoran was still very modest.
"You can't do it?"
"That's it, it's a big talk, but there's no turning back. ”
"If you are young, you must know that there are some things that you can't talk nonsense. ”
The voices of contempt for Zhang Haoran in the crowd sounded one after another.
Because of everyone's emotions and onlookers, more and more people suddenly began to look here. Everyone wanted to know what was going on, and they all wondered what the young man was talking to everyone.
"If you don't believe my Lao Xu's words and don't believe in my Lao Xu's ability, then you can no longer come to my Lao Xu shop to dig up antiques, and from now on, my Lao Xu will close the store and leave, and no longer delay everyone to dig out the treasure. Seeing so many people watching, Xu Tian had to take some action. Or just say that the words will be magnified and the doubts of the people will be suppressed. Otherwise, he will directly lower his status and tell everyone that he is incapable, and this store will not be able to open.
Sure enough, after Xu Tian spoke, the people who originally had opinions stopped talking.
Just now, they questioned Xu Tian's partiality and teased them, old customers. Then there was the questioning that his apprentice was not that competent. After all, they still don't believe Xu Tian, so now that Xu Tian has spoken, they can't say anything more. I believe that he Xu Tian will treat them as if they have not said anything, and if there are any doubts, they will directly follow what his apprentice said.
At that time, if the other party can't even appraise it, then it seems that he is not right, not that everyone questions him, but that Xu Tian is partial. If this young man can be identified, it means that Lao Xu really found a good apprentice, and such an apprentice should not be stupid.
"Okay, according to what this young man said, let's bring some antiques later, and we can identify the authenticity, I'll take it." If the identification is not possible or the identification is wrong. Xu Tian, should you take my grandson as an apprentice?" said an older man first.
"That's right, as long as it is identified, then we admit that we have a bad heart, but if we can't identify the authenticity, can we discuss the matter of accepting apprentices from you before?"
Someone spoke, and others followed. This is not a loss for them, as long as the young man can't be identified, then they can get an apprentice spot.
Although antique appraisers are everywhere, it is difficult to find a good master. Xu Tian has been with them for the longest time, and they naturally trust Xu Tian. Good masters are hard to find, which is the reason why they are persistent.
Hearing this, Xu Tian was a little embarrassed, originally he cooperated with Zhang Haoran to say that he planned to give him a signal when he waited for Zhang Haoran's appraisal. But at this time, there are so many people, if Zhang Haoran in front of him doesn't see his signal and looks away, he has to accept an apprentice.
