331 Exposed
“Are you questioning my judgment?”
Even if Old Master Cui did not deliberately raise his voice, his words were dignified. Just a simple sentence instantly stunned the entire scene, making everyone shut up and not dare to speak again.
The expression on the Manager’s face instantly froze. He quickly turned to face Old Master Cui. “That’s not what I meant, but this painting has indeed been appraised.”
He cursed in his heart. Wasn’t Old Master Cui behind the ghost market? Why did he still let the reputation of the ghost market be ruined?
There had been enough mistakes at the auction today. There could not be any mistakes with the last item. Otherwise, he would not be able to keep his job.
“Old Master Cui, you know that appraisal masters are all old people and rely on their rich experience to appraise treasures. This lady beside you looks to be 18 years old, she can’t compare to the appraisal masters at the auction, right?”
The Manager seemed to be explaining, but he actually looked down on Gu Man and did not believe that she could tell if it was real or fake. She was just a clown trying to please the crowd.
It was only because of Old Master Cui that he said something nice. If not for Old Master Cui being here, he would have gotten someone to chase Gu Man out.
The reputation of the auction was not to be slandered!
“In that case, the appraiser of your auction is not much,” Xiang Yin, who had been silent, looked at the Manager and said casually.
Before the Manager could speak, a woman in a cheongsam walked out of the crowd. She ignored the other outsiders and walked straight towards the Manager. “Manager, I wanted to look for you just now.”
Perhaps it was because she was in such a hurry that she did not notice that the people standing beside her were all famous people. She panted heavily and said the rest of her words, “Before the guests in private room No. 5 opened the stone, they were sure that it was raw stone inside.”
The Manager frowned slightly, surprise in his eyes.
Although the woman’s explanation was not very clear because she was anxious, the Manager understood what she meant and was so surprised.
He was thinking about the people in Room 5 when he suddenly raised his head and looked behind them.
Wasn’t the person in Room 5 beside Old Master Cui?
The woman in the cheongsam was the woman who was serving Xiang Yin and Gu Man in private room five. Only then did she notice that there were so many people around her. However, the moment she saw Gu Man, she covered her mouth and pointed.
“Manager, it’s her!”
The auction would definitely not let go of such a talent. The auction had been recruiting some people with special abilities in the past few years just so that they could choose good items.
Although the reputation of the auction still existed, he had to admit that the auction rarely sold anything good in recent years. That was why they were so anxious to find some extraordinary people.
The woman did not know how much of an uproar her simple words caused in the crowd. She did not know what had just happened and only grabbed the Manager excitedly.
“Manager, it was really magical at that time. When everyone wanted to bid for the Fu Lu Shou, only she knew at a glance that there was nothing inside.”
Of course, the Manager understood her excitement, but he did not know how to say it now. After all, he had just doubted her.
However, for the sake of the future development of the auction, the Manager still decided to put down his pride. “Miss, I wonder if you’re willing to come to the auction to work. I’ll definitely give you the best salary and treatment.”
Although Gu Man was not old, because she appeared beside Old Master Cui and because of the rumors just now, they had the preconceived notion that Gu Man was just an ignorant and incompetent woman who liked to scheme.
Therefore, the Manager was still a little confident. After all, such a woman knew that she could only obtain more resources by making good use of her advantage. Otherwise, she would not have looked for Old Master Cui.
“I’m sorry, I’m still studying.” Gu Man rejected without thinking.
Not to mention that she did not have time to spare, even if she did, she would not care about the money given by the auction. Moreover, based on the Manager’s preconceived attitude just now, she would definitely not join the auction!
