Chapter 40 Professional Manager
After seeing the auction items at the preview, Shen You planned to choose a few special events that he was interested in attending.
She skipped the porcelain sale on the first morning because the overall quality of what she had on hand was higher.
Go directly to the afternoon show.
The two-day preview process passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, the Xilu Study Autumn Auction officially began.
Shen You had plenty of time and had a meal at home at noon.
She put on a light blue fishtail cheongsam and a white shawl. Her hair was simply pulled up. Instead of an expensive jade hairpin, she just used a simple silver hairpin.
Pair it with a floral hand-embroidered bag of the same color.
It was a cloudy day when we arrived at the study, and the autumn wind carried a hint of coolness. Osmanthus flowers fell all over the ground. Together with the surrounding Chinese-style buildings, the atmosphere was full.
When Shen You walked towards the door, she accidentally ran into a pair of dark eyes.
Black suit, thin and tall figure.
"Why are you here too?" Shen You couldn't help but ask.
Wen Zhi lazily raised his eyes and smiled eye-catchingly, "Oh, this is the home I used to live in."
Shen You:? ? ?
I had heard that this garden was private, but I didn't expect it to be his home.
"Who is this lady?" A female voice sounded from behind.
I saw a young woman with good temperament walking up and standing side by side with Wen Zhi. Her eyes fell on Shen You, and there was a hint of repulsion in her smile.
"You control too much." Wen Zhi frowned slightly and spoke in a distant tone.
The woman took one look at his emotionless eyes and immediately restrained herself, but she was unwilling to give in.
He has never been like this.
She had used this method of backhanded poking before, but he treated everyone the same, as if he didn't care about anyone.
She had been working here for so long, but she still couldn't get close to him.
What on earth does this woman have?
"You guys talk." Shen You saw them like this and said that she would not get involved.
He said that he was about to walk inside.
Wen Zhi turned around and walked beside Shen You, "Let's go in together?"
"Are you also attending the auction?" Shen You looked up at him.
"I suddenly wanted to take a look." Wen Zhi's thin lips curled up, thinking of what just happened, he opened his mouth to explain,
"Tu Yan is a professional manager who is responsible for managing Xilu Study House. The ancient buildings here cannot be rebuilt, nor can the original house structure be destroyed. This kind of old wooden building is not comfortable to live in,
But the garden has to be taken care of even if we don’t live in it. I don’t have time to take care of it, so I hired someone to come. ”
Xilu Study has been managed by Tu Yan for three years, and the commission she received was generous enough.
But now, Tu Yan still wants to interfere with his affairs.
People who have no sense of proportion will have no need to cooperate in the future. Changing a manager is not a big deal.
Shen You listened and bit her back teeth,
"In other words, part of the high commission I pay is given to you."
Wen Zhi looked at her seriously and said, "It's okay, the prices in your shop are not low either."
While talking, the two people had already reached the entrance of the venue.
The special auction was held on the waterside pavilion, with people below holding placards, and there were two independent private rooms on the second floor.
Jiang He was in the process of arranging the issues in the private room, and then pointed someone over to lead Shen You to his seat.
Seeing Wen Zhi's extremely handsome face, Jiang He, who was busy in front, also had a flash of surprise in his eyes.
The moment the two of them came out, they had a sense of story and atmosphere.
Is this the person behind Shen You? No, it looks like Shen You is the person behind him.
Especially when Shen You sat down and crossed her hands, looking at Wen Zhi next to her, she seemed to have the feeling of a very rich boss. "The girl you mentioned who took out the Ru kiln porcelain is here too?"
In the private room, an old man wearing a low-key Tang suit put down the tea bowl.
Xu Jiayan, who was sitting on the other side of the square table, glanced at the chat on the phone and said, "She just arrived, why don't I bring her over to say hello?"
"I heard that the professional level of restoring cultural relics is also pretty good." Mr. Xu smiled and said, "Let her come over."
After all, this is the person Sun Tzu talked about personally, so I have to give him this face.
"Okay." Xu Jiayan nodded happily.
Shen You received a message from Xu Jiayan. Although she was not good at dealing with greeting situations, she had vaguely known in the past two days that Xu Jiayan's grandfather had extraordinary influence.
There are many people here who want to say hello, but they can't enter that private room.
If she didn't go, it would be disrespectful to her.
A person of this level would not lower his status to care about her, but offending someone would not be good for her future development.
"I have something to do."
Shen You said nothing to Wen Zhi and walked towards Yajian.
Xu Jiayan came out to pick her up and saw someone else at the table. From the side of his face, he could see an invisible sense of oppression on his body.
Unlike ordinary people, he had only seen this feeling among elders in high positions in his family.
"Did you come with someone else?" Xu Jiayan asked seemingly unintentionally.
Shen You: "Well, that's right."
As if aware of the gaze here, Wen Zhi glanced sideways at Shen You and Xu Jiayan, his slender fingers slightly crossed and his face expressionless.
Shen You followed Xu Jiayan to the private room on the second floor. This scene fell into the eyes of Gu Yue at the other table, who was also a little unhappy.
She inquired and found out that Shen You had inherited a relative's antique shop.
In addition, her family has no background. If the other person's family background is better than hers, she won't say anything, but there are girls of ordinary backgrounds all over the street.
Xu Jiayan never thought of taking her and Gu Shaoyu to say hello, but he just took Shen You there!
How could she feel comfortable?
"Hello, Mr. Xu." Shen You cheered up and said hello with a smile.
"Don't be nervous, the old man just looks serious." Xu Jiayan whispered, but the words were clearly meant for Mr. Xu.
Mr. Xu looked at his grandson and then turned to Shen You clearly.
The little girl looks nice, her eyes are full of sincerity, much better than those people below who only use compliments when opening their mouths.
Moreover, she was even willing to donate Ru kiln, which shows that her character is also good.
"Jiayan is right. I know Lao Li too. I heard him talking about you two days ago. Stop standing and come sit down." The old man said kindly.
Shen You sat down and found that the old man also liked porcelain, so he chatted about it, from Ru kiln Jun kiln to sweet white glaze.
"The little girl prefers sweet white glaze, but I still prefer Jun kiln."
There are quite a few people the old man interacts with who understand this, but there are not many young people who not only appreciate porcelain, but also have an understanding of porcelain making techniques.
So the more we chatted, the happier we became.
"Girl, do you still have some good porcelain?" The old man used to hold a high position and has never seen anyone. He can't hide the thoughts of this junior.
"There are still a few things that can be sold, but they are not available in this auction." Shen You automatically hides the ones that cannot be sold.
"I heard that there was nothing special about the morning special except for a pair of porcelain bowls, so I didn't come." The old man said with a smile,
"When you take out the good ones in your hand later, don't forget to call Grandpa Xu."
