Chapter 43 Another order
Gu Yue had just finished the payment and pickup process. When she came back, she saw Shen You and Xu Jiayan walking towards the banquet restaurant,
The fingertips couldn't help but tighten.
She deliberately chose to stay in this hotel. Neither she nor Gu Shaoyu could go to the bureau organized by Grandpa Xu. At that level, the only juniors who could go were usually direct members of the family.
Boss Shen of that antique shop came to the auction just to make connections.
Otherwise, not a single thing was auctioned, which would have been difficult for her. She had to show her face at the auction for two days in a row.
"Girl Shen You is here, let's go there together." Mr. Xu, who had just arrived, said kindly.
Just looking at the old man's low-key outfit, he looks no different from the old man doing Tai Chi in the park when he goes out.
But when Gu Shaoyu saw him, he immediately stood up straight and greeted Gu Yue.
"Hello, Grandpa Xu." Gu Yue raised a bright and generous smile.
The old man nodded in response, then turned to Shen You and led her towards the box, with a more familiar expression on his face.
Gu Yue watched them leave, feeling a little unhappy.
How did Shen You catch Grandpa Xu's eyes? Even if he is Mr. Li's apprentice, he is not qualified based on his status alone.
"Didn't I ask you to ask them what their relationship is?" Gu Yue whispered.
"I asked, friend." Gu Shaoyu replied, "Shen You is really not who you think."
"Oh, it's because I saw someone with better conditions, so I looked down on you, which gave you the illusion. Do you see less of those women who are just for money? In such a deep industry, how can she get a foothold without any skills?"< br>
Gu Shaoyu retorted, "No. Don't you like money? Your parents don't like money? Who does business not for money."
Wasn't his sister also interested in the Xu family's conditions?
When Shen You followed the old man into the box, several people had already arrived.
Originally, everyone was greeting the old man, and the focus was not on Shen You.
Until one of the ladies wearing an emerald brooch saw the bag in Shen You's hand, and she immediately became interested.
"Little girl, your bag is so exquisite. Is it made of custom-made fabric? Very few people can make such exquisite things nowadays."
After hearing what she said, another lady wearing a Xiangyun gauze cheongsam also became interested.
"It was a gift from a friend." Shen You was afraid of being asked where she bought it, so she found an excuse.
Most of the people sitting here are experts among experts. They not only collect antiques, but also have some research on ancient techniques, and they have a vicious eye.
Among these people, she is not enough.
The two ladies were a little disappointed when they heard that it was a gift from someone else. Her bag looks really good with the cheongsam.
It's a pity that I can't buy some along with it.
Xu Jiayan introduced these people to Shen You in a low voice, and everyone turned their attention to her at this time.
"This is the person that Lao Li said can repair that thing of yours, Shen You." Mr. Xu personally introduced him to the collector named Zhang.
Mr. Zhang, who was sitting next to Mr. Xu, looked at Shen You doubtfully,
Can such a young girl repair his things well?
But he came with Mr. Xu and Jiayan, so he couldn't refute the old man's face on the spot, so he took it out for her to see first.
Mr. Zhang had his suitcase opened and placed in front of Shen You.
"This is a phoenix crown worn by Lady Yipingaoming!"
The entire crown has three layers and is made of gold wire and gemstones. It is extremely luxurious. However, due to its age, some parts are broken and need to be repaired. It is not particularly serious.
This crown can really be exchanged for an apartment in the center of Haicheng City.
What kind of family can use this thing as a dowry?
The set that Gu Shaoyu gave her to Gu Yue before was not at the same level as this one. You may not be able to find one at international auctions.
"Good taste." Mr. Zhang nodded, "Miss Shen, can you fix it?"
"Yes, but I have to wait until after the Mid-Autumn Festival before I have time to take this order."
She had to go home during the Mid-Autumn Festival, and there was no place to put such a big phoenix crown. If something happened to her, it would be really big trouble.
Mr. Zhang understood Shen You's concerns and nodded with a smile, "Okay, then I will send someone to Miss Shen's place after the Mid-Autumn Festival."
Since she was recommended by Professor Li, even if she couldn't handle the matter, she would go to Professor Li for help.
With Professor Li in charge, there should be no big mistakes.
"What do you think of Miss Shen's reward of one million?" Mr. Zhang asked.
Everyone present could see clearly that the price was high considering the extent of the repairs this thing needed.
But Mr. Zhang is also very demanding and needs to be restored to perfection. He does not like ordinary craftsmanship.
Otherwise, I wouldn’t have gone all the way to Jiangcheng to find Professor Li. I just heard that Jiangcheng Collection Hall restored ancient techniques.
After Shen You carefully looked at the condition of this thing, he said: "No problem, I can fulfill Mr. Zhang's request."
As soon as the words came out, everyone's eyes were a little shocked.
This thing is not only precious, but also has special meaning to Mr. Zhang. She actually dares to make such a firm promise.
If you can't do it, how can you continue to work in this industry in the future? Mr. Xu and Professor Li will be embarrassed as well.
But from her tone to her expression, she was very calm. She didn't seem to be bragging, and she didn't care at all that she had messed up.
It's really rare to have such ability at such a young age.
"Girl Shen, didn't you say you brought something here for me to see?" Mr. Xu said with a smile.
"Well, it's here." Shen You opened the password box she brought.
It was a piece of grape purple Jun kiln porcelain.
"You girl really brought me a surprise!" Mr. Xu couldn't bear to look away.
This is the right craftsmanship!
"That's not right. It stands to reason that the Jun kiln has been around for many years, so there will inevitably be some traces. This thing is well preserved, and it is indeed authentic, but this..." Mr. Zhang looked puzzled.
Mr. Xu thought so too. He couldn't be wrong. This bottle was genuine, but it was in a strange condition.
"Could it be a Jun kiln imitated by later generations?" Mr. Zhang looked at Shen You.
Shen You answered decisively, "Yes! It's a craft restored from the Ming and Qing Dynasties."
She had also thought about this reason before coming here. Only when she was sure it was feasible did she dare to bring the things here.
Like the set of Ru kiln porcelain, Li Heng said at the time that the firing technique had been lost and was itself an antique in Daqi.
"This craftsmanship is so good! This is the first time I have seen porcelain that can be restored perfectly by later generations."
"Had I seen it earlier, I wouldn't have taken pictures of that defective product a few months ago!"
Several people took magnifying glasses and looked at it for a long time, but they couldn't see any trace of imitation. If it weren't for the wrong condition, who would dare to say that it was imitated by later generations.
Seeing how interested everyone was in this piece of porcelain, a collector who reacted decided to make the first move,
"Miss Shen, are you willing to sell this thing?"
