Chapter 32 Confusing the real with the fake
Lu Jingyao took Xu Youyou to where the crowd gathered.
Xi Ruier noticed them immediately. After a dark look flashed in her eyes, she pretended to be innocent and innocent: "Lu, you also like this peach bottle? It's the same as my father's vision."
Lu Jingyao nodded casually.
Xirel didn't care about his deliberately evasive attitude, but still smiled heartily: "If you are willing to marry me, my father might give this bottle to his son-in-law."
Lu Jingyao glanced at Xu Youyou.
Xu Youyou didn't expect that this couple's game would continue. She could only say helplessly: "If your father can afford it, can't I?"
Xi Ruer looked Xu Youyou up and down: "Ms. Xu, this seems to be your first time going abroad. Your visa is very clean."
Xu Youyou immediately felt the energy of the Xirel family and was able to find her entry record! Xi Ruer also felt that Xu Youyou was a poor man because of Xu Youyou's clean entry record.
Lu Jingyao suddenly put his hand on Xu Youyou's shoulder: "Ms. Xiruer, you don't know that there are many ancient families in China. They don't like to go abroad, but this does not mean that they have no energy."
Hearing this, Xi Ruier seemed to have thought of something. He no longer ridiculed Xu Youyou, and his eyes became a little more fearful.
Seeing the change in her expression, Xu Youyou felt confused and asked Lu Jingyao in a low voice: "What kind of extraordinary personality have you set for me?"
Lu Jingyao said casually: "When you go out, you give your identity to yourself."
When Xu Youyou heard this, she felt that this cold-faced CEO seemed to have a terrifyingly flexible mind.
"Young lady from an ancient family, don't focus on quarreling with others and take a closer look at this collection." Lu Jingyao said.
After Xu Youyou accepted this persona, her body became straighter and she looked more like a young lady.
The full name of the peach bottle in Xi Ruier's mouth is "Yongzheng Pastel Fortune and Longevity Olive Vase". The shape of the bottle is like an olive, and the whole body is an extremely light pink color. The pattern drawn on the bottle is of a peach tree branch, with a total of eight peaches. , there will also be bats next to the peach branches. This pattern means good fortune and longevity.
After just one glance, Xu Youyou was attracted by this bottle.
She looked at it very slowly for half an hour. During this period, she took many photos with the professional camera provided by Lu Jingyao. After she finally saw it clearly, she turned back and nodded gently to Lu Jingyao.
After Lu Jingyao confirmed that the porcelain vase was authentic, he joined the bidding.
Xu Youyou had nothing to do, so she wandered around the private museum. Although the treasure in the museum attracted the attention of most collectors, there were many other collections here.
[The leak-picking task has been started. Please arrive at the leak-picking location as soon as possible (because the last leak-picking task has not been completed yet, the rewards for completing this task are temporarily suspended)]
Xu Youyou read the system prompt again and again, and confirmed that it said "pause distribution" and not no disbursement. She finally breathed a sigh of relief.
She followed the system instructions and walked to the corner of the museum. There was a collection there, not even separated by a glass cover, just placed there in such a generous manner.
Of course, the reason for this is simply because most people cannot move this collection away at all.
Stone statue.
This statue has only one head. Judging from its appearance, it looks like an ancient official wearing a crown.
This collection seemed too unpopular, and there were no staff around. Xu Youyou searched for a while before she found a staff member and expressed her intention to buy this stone statue.
"Are you sure you want to buy it?" the staff asked again and again.
Xu Youyou also nodded three times in a row. She was not blind, so she could naturally see the fool's look in her eyes.
“There is no bidding for this collection, we will just go with the listed price,” the staff member said.
The price tag was $10,000. According to the explanatory plaque of this collection, this is an antique with a history of about two hundred years.
But both buyers and sellers seemed to know that the words on the explanation card were just for fun.
Another hour later, Lu Jingyao came out of the auction hall, followed by a white man with gray hair in a suit.
"Mr. Lu, please follow me to retrieve your loot." The white man said with a smile.
Lu Jingyao nodded and glanced at Xu Youyou again. Xu Youyou immediately ran over and followed him to pick up the goods.
"In a while, your car will also carry my goods." Xu Youyou said.
Lu Jingyao nodded.
"Mr. Lu, there are not many Chinese people who are as generous as you. You can take things away with just one look." The white man said with a smile.
Lu Jingyao looked at the powder bottle that was tightly wrapped in a collision-proof box, but did not accept it on the spot.
Xu Youyou knew that she would be useful again. She put on a pair of white gloves that she found out from somewhere and carefully checked them.

The white man smiled and said: "Mr. Lu, don't worry, our family has been in the antiques business for more than a hundred years, and our family's reputation is internationally renowned."
He seemed particularly proud of his family's reputation.
But the next second, Xu Youyou spoke: "Fake."
Lu Jingyao looked at the white man with a look like a sharp sword: "I need an explanation."
The white man did not panic at all: "Mr. Lu, did you make a mistake in your identification? Besides, in the antique business, everyone has always relied on their own abilities. Since you participated in the bidding, it is too late to regret it now."
Xu Youyou turned on the professional camera around her neck: "This bottle is not the same as the one on display before. The base of the bottle is indeed a Yongzheng porcelain base. It is an old object, but the bottle body was made by a master. It is almost It’s almost as fake as the real thing, but there are slight differences in details, and I took photos of them.”
Xu Youyou enlarged the photo on the camera to ensure that everyone present could clearly see the difference in details. If you hadn't prepared for this kind of subtle difference in advance, you would be at a loss now.
Lu Jingyao said directly: "Mr. Denard, it seems that the century-old reputation of your Denard family is no different than a shoe polishing rag."
When Denard heard this, his pale old face turned red and green, but he soon realized who the person who could do this was.
"Mr. Lu, I can't make fun of my family's century-old reputation. I don't know if there is any misunderstanding. Since it is indeed not the bottle in front, I am willing to refund the full amount." Denard said through gritted teeth.
Lu Jingyao was not so easy to fool: "Is it just a refund?"
Denard's eyes were red at this time, but the fact was in front of him, and there were many people staring around. He could only knock out his teeth and swallow blood: "I will pay 20% of the payment according to the contract. Compensation for this deal breaker.”
Lu Jingyao sighed: "I really wanted to accept this collection, but unfortunately, Mr. Denard wanted to protect this little thief who switched the goods."
Denard stopped talking.
Other buyers who were originally watching this sky-high price transaction also started making a fuss at this time: "Denard, I bought a painting from you. I want to re-appraise it, maybe you will transfer it!"
"The porcelain bowl I bought from you two years ago doesn't look real after I bought it back. You must have replaced it too!"
