Chapter 99 Broken the rules?
"Grandpa Dong, how did you identify this Hetian jade as an object from Dazhao?" Song You'an didn't understand, but she also found it novel. She looked at Mr. Dong and asked doubtfully: "Like the bronze tripod just now, you can Its origin can be judged by its forging process, patterns and other details, but Hotan white jade has only one color, its shape is bare, and there are no details to be found.”
As the only woman in the audience, Song Youan was already enough to attract attention, but now her opening immediately attracted everyone's attention to her.
Someone chuckled when he heard this, looked at Song Youan and said, "This young lady looks strange, it must be her first time here, right?"
"Mr. Fu, Miss Song was invited by me." Chen Fei nodded gently and explained.
Song You'an saw everyone's lips were smiling, and couldn't help but feel a little confused. Did she ask some funny question?
But knowing is knowing, not knowing is not knowing, she really doesn't understand.
"I'm sorry, everyone, I am indeed a layman. I couldn't help but ask out of curiosity. So does everyone know how to tell the age of a piece of jade?" Song You'an was even more puzzled.
Will jade leave traces on itself over time?
"Haha..." Mr. Dong chuckled twice, and his eyes fell on Song You'an: "I'm not laughing at you, but everyone had the same doubts as you when they first played with antiques. ”
Mr. Dong's words made everyone else present laugh.
It turned out that everyone subconsciously showed a half-smiling expression because Song Youan's words reminded them of their past selves.
Song You'an also smiled, but she felt more calm because of it.
Chen Fei said to Song You'an: "Actually, there is currently no completely accurate method to judge the historical date of jade antiques."
"Then..."
Song You'an was a little confused. Why did Mr. Dong say with such certainty that this jade was from the Jokhang period?
As a result, the next second, Mr. Dong held up the piece of jade and came to Song You'an. He turned the jade upside down and said, "Little girl, the answer is here."
Song Youan took a closer look and saw that there was a sunken mark on the bottom of the Hetian white jade.
After careful examination, I saw that the words "Dazhao Qingyang 3rd Year" were printed on the bottom.
Mr. Dong smiled and explained: "This is called "Jade Seal". Since the Jin and Northern Dynasties, the jade seal will be stamped on high-quality jade when its volume exceeds a certain level. The jade seals of each dynasty have different fonts and sealing techniques. Difference, so we can distinguish. ”
Seeing this, Song Youan raised her forehead in embarrassment, and asked how she could judge the age of a jade stone without any details by looking at it out of thin air. It turned out that there was a seal on the bottom of her buttocks.
She made a joke out of nothing.
Chen Fei smiled when he saw this: "Don't feel embarrassed, many people have asked this question like you."
And precisely because of Song You'an's unintentional words just now, everyone's first impression of her was inexplicably deepened, and it was a good impression.
Song Youan nodded, and curiously asked Chen Fei in a low voice: "How much is this piece of jade like Mr. Dong's worth?"
"This cannot be evaluated. There is no precedent for such a large volume of Hetian white jade to be circulated in the antique market. Mr. Dong spent more than 100 million to buy it, but it is hard to say whether it is worth it. Mr. Dong's preference is the main reason. He is willing to spend this money for this piece of jade.”
More than 100 million? Buy a head-sized Hetian jade that can only be displayed for viewing? Song Youan stared in shock. Although he didn't understand, he showed respect.
Antiques are indeed a hobby only suitable for rich people.
At this moment, a gloomy and provocative voice suddenly sounded: "Mr. Chen, have you forgotten the rules of our appreciation party? Ever since Mr. Dong initiated this appreciation party, no one has ever brought a female companion to participate. .”
"You suddenly brought a woman here today. Did you break some of the rules?"
The person who spoke was Lin Chaoyang, the chairman of Chaoyang Group. His company's main field was real estate, and Chen Fei and Chen Fei were bitter rivals in the business field.
In the antique world, both of them were juniors valued by Mr. Dong, so Lin Chaoyang always secretly competed with Chen Fei in his heart.
Unexpectedly, today, the other party actually regarded Song You'an as Chen Fei's weakness and wanted to make him lose face in front of Mr. Dong.
Chen Fei adjusted the gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose, looked at Lin Chaoyang calmly and said: "I have already said hello to Mr. Dong about inviting Miss Song, and please be more respectful, Miss Song. She is not the female companion I brought, she is participating in this appreciation meeting in her own name.”
Not Chen Fei's female companion?
Everyone present, except Mr. Dong, seemed a little surprised by this sentence.
Obviously, no woman has ever participated in this appreciation party. When Song Youan suddenly appeared today, everyone subconsciously thought that she was Chen Fei's female companion. It was just because of Chen Fei's status that no one made it clear.
The result is not?
Lin Chaoyang sneered, obviously not believing Chen Fei's words: "You will agree to your rude request that breaks the rules only if Mr. Dong respects you, but Mr. Chen, don't be arrogant because of your favor."
As he spoke, his eyes fell on Song You'an, and he looked at her with contempt as if he was looking at a special worker: "I'm afraid this young lady doesn't know yet, right? She was invited to participate in this appreciation meeting after being recommended by others. One must bring at least one good thing that can be put on the table.”
Song You'an doesn't like men who are self-righteous, let alone those who label their identity with just one mouth.
Her pretty face sank slightly, she looked at the other person and said, "I know that."
Lin Chaoyang raised his eyebrows slightly: "Since you know it, you should know that you broke the rules when you came here."
"Chaoyang, you must be a gentleman to girls, and you can't be so rude." Mr. Dong looked at Lin Chaoyang and said in a deep voice.
Lin Chaoyang knew in his heart that Mr. Dong admired Chen Fei more than himself, but today it was a matter of principle. If Mr. Dong was so blatantly partial, he couldn't bear it.
So he looked at Mr. Dong with a serious face and said: "Mr. Dong, this is breaking your rules! If everyone follows suit in the future and brings female companions, what will our appreciation become? By then, won't it be It’s a mess!”
"You just heard this lady say that she is a layman, so what qualifications does she have to come in? Just because she is Mr. Chen's female companion?"
Chen Fei's eyes turned cold, and his own self-cultivation allowed him to maintain his superficial dignity. He only said one more time: "Mr. Lin, let me say it again, Miss Song is not my female companion."
Song Yan at the back was also confused. Why didn't Chen Fei admit that You'an was his female companion?
How did Youan get in?
