Chapter 424 - 424 Another Big Dipper?
424 Another Big Dipper?
Right when Ye Feng, Sun Shouyi, and Lin Qianqian were chatting…
Suddenly, a few people walked in from outside the door.
“Hello, Manager Sun. We just met yesterday and are here again today. Please enlighten us.”
The leader was a man in his fifties who always had a smile on his face.
It was easy to give off a sense of affinity.
Sun Shouyi quickly stood up to welcome him, then introduced him to Ye Feng, “Boss, this is the person in charge of the Ancient Treasure Workshop’s expansion into Zhonghai, Yan Hongcai, Boss Yan.”
As he spoke, he introduced the man, “This is the owner of our Maple Leaf Pavilion, Mr. Ye Feng.”
Yan Hongcai immediately shook hands with Ye Feng. “Hello Mister Ye, I did not expect the famous Maple Leaf Pavilion owner to be so young and promising, haha.”
Although he said that, he felt a little disdainful in his heart.
The other party was so young, yet he was able to become the owner of Maple Leaf Pavilion.
He was most likely a rich kid who had taken his family’s money out to play.
With such a person at the helm, it was only a matter of time before Maple Leaf Pavilion was destroyed.
The disdain that flashed in his eyes was captured by Ye Feng.
But Ye Feng did not mind.
Most people would look down on him because of his age.
This was his disadvantage, but it was also his advantage.
It was precisely because the other party had underestimated him that he had been given the chance to counterattack.
Yan Hongcai didn’t look at him again and turned to look at Sun Shouyi.
“Manager Sun, let’s not talk about the pleasantries. We have a long time ahead of us and plenty of opportunities in the future. Let’s follow the rules first. Take out the three antiques you’ve prepared.”
When Sun Shouyi heard his words, he couldn’t help but sneer coldly in his heart.
What did he mean by there was still a long way to go?
From the meaning of his words, it seemed as if he had already won.
Even though he was cursing in his heart, he still asked Lin Qianqian to bring the two antiques that he had prepared.
“Mr. Yan, please.”
Sun Shouyi made a ‘please’ gesture before moving to the side.
He was very confident in the two antiques he had chosen.
These two antiques were very difficult to identify.
When he had received it, he had studied it for a long time before finally confirming it.
He didn’t believe that the other party would be able to see through it in such a short period of time.
Yang Hongcai only glanced at it twice before looking respectfully at a white-bearded old man in his seventies.
“Grand Master Zhu, please.”
The old man stroked his goatee and immediately stepped forward.
He stared at the porcelain bottle and carefully examined it.
When Sun Shouyi heard Yan Hong call out ‘Grand Master Zhu’, his expression instantly changed.
The surname ‘Zhu’ was rare, especially in the antique circle.
Could it be…
He seemed to have thought of something and hurriedly asked, “Could this be Grand Master Zhu Wenkai, who is known as the Eye of Heaven Opening?”
Yan Hongcai immediately nodded. “That’s right. This is Grand Master Zhu.”
Master Zhu nodded at Sun Shouren before turning his attention to the two antiques.
When Sun Shouyi received confirmation, his face instantly turned pale.
Lin Qianqian noticed that something was wrong with his expression and hurriedly asked, “Uncle Sun, is this Grand Master Zhu very powerful?”
Sun Shouyi couldn’t help but smile bitterly. “Grand Master Zhu is a big shot in the antique world. Don’t you think he’s amazing?”
Lin Qianqian was a little tongue-tied. “How about compared to Grand Master Mei Donghai?”
Sun Shouyi sighed and said, “Grand Master Mei is indeed a famous figure in Zhonghai, while Grand Master Zhu is a famous figure in the whole province.”
Lin Qianqian’s jaw dropped in shock. “More powerful than Master Mei? Then can we still win?”
Sun Shouyi revealed a helpless and bitter smile.
“Grand Master Zhu has already made his move. We no longer have any hope of winning. I never thought that the Ancient Treasure Workshop would actually spend so much money this time, even inviting Grand Master Zhu.”
Ye Feng heard his introduction.
He couldn’t help but take a few more glances at Grand Master Zhu.
Another Grand Master?
Was he really as powerful as he said?
Just as he was skeptical…
Zhu Wenkai slowly put down the two antiques and nodded at Yan Hongcai.
Yan Hongcai immediately walked forward. “Grand Master Zhu has already seen these two pieces. What about the third one?”
When Sun Shouyi heard this, he was instantly startled.
He had spent more than a week trying to determine the origins of these two antiques.
After looking through countless historical materials and consulting many peers, he finally obtained the final confirmation.
He did not expect Grand Master Zhu to finish reading it in less than ten minutes.
This was the difference!
“We only prepared two…”
He was about to speak.
At this time, Ye Feng suddenly interrupted him: “Grand Master Zhu, please appraise these two first. Our third antique is too rare. I have to see your strength first to determine if you are qualified to see it.”
As soon as he said this, everyone’s expression changed drastically.
Sun Shouyi and Lin Qianqian stared at him blankly.
Was this guy crazy?
He was an antique master who was even more famous than Grand Master Mei Donghai.
He was highly respected in the antique world.
He actually used such a tone to talk to him?
Yan Hongcai’s expression was also a little ugly.
Grand Master Zhu was someone that their Ancient Treasure Workshop had spent a lot of effort to invite.
Ye Feng’s words were like slapping their Ancient Treasure Workshop’s face.
How could such an arrogant person become the owner of Maple Leaf Pavilion?
Due to the influence of Maple Leaf Pavilion, he did not speak.
However, the young men behind him did not have so many scruples.
They all attacked Ye Feng.
“Ignorant junior, how dare you speak to Grand Master Zhu like this? You’re too arrogant!”
“This kind of person can actually become the owner of Maple Leaf Pavilion? It seems that Maple Leaf Pavilion really does not live up to its reputation.”
“If word gets out, your Maple Leaf Pavilion will become the public enemy of the antique world!”
“…”
