Chapter 14 You Can't Save Him Like This
"Mr. Zhou, I..."
"This painting and calligraphy is clearly authentic and a rare collection. How did you identify it?"
Before Hao Wenhua could speak, Zhou Baolong asked again coldly.
Everyone in the audience suddenly realized!
For a moment, everyone pointed at Hao Wenhua and scolded him.
If Lin Xiao hadn't been present, I'm afraid this aunt's precious collection would have been taken away by him.
"Mr. Zhou, it's all my fault. My treasure appraisal skills are not good. I will definitely pay attention to it in the future. I hope Mr. Zhou will give me a chance." Hao Wenhua rolled his eyes and apologized quickly.
"I think it's not that you're not technically proficient, but that you're deficient in brains. You've been lining your pockets for so long, and you're still lying here?"
Lin Xiao interrupted him, pointed in the direction of the appraisal platform and said: "If you don't believe it, you can take out the box under his feet and have a look. There are several real antiques hidden in it. I'm afraid they are not all used like this."
It must be a deceptive trick."
"What? Such a thing happened?"
The people at the scene were angry for a moment and rushed forward to move the table where he was appraising treasures.
There was really a box underneath. A young man opened it and saw several antiques inside, all of which he said were fake.
Everyone thought that he had just given the things to the staff to be destroyed, but unexpectedly he didn't hand over any of them and hid them all under the table.
"Hao Wenhua, what else do you have to say? I asked you to come here to help people identify treasures, but you seek personal gain and deliberately deceive people?"
Zhou Baolong's anger increased greatly, he glared at Hao Wenhua and scolded him.
"Mr. Zhou, I was wrong. I will never dare to do it again. I promise to carefully appraise treasures in the future and never do such a thing again. It was just a temporary obsession of mine. I hope Mr. Zhou will forgive me."
Hao Wenhua suddenly knelt down and begged Zhou Baolong for mercy.
Zhou Baolong threw him aside and said coldly: "Do you still have the nerve to beg me for mercy? From today on, you get out of the Treasure Appraisal Association and you will not be allowed to appraise treasures again for the rest of your life."
Boom!
Hao Wenhua felt as if he had been hit hard, and his brain buzzed.
If he leaves the Treasure Appraisal Association, wouldn't it be equivalent to losing his job? How else can he make a living?
Without saying a word, he immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly, and continued to beg for mercy: "Mr. Zhou, please let me go. My family is still waiting for me to support them. I can't lose this treasure appraisal job."
"What about the people you deceived? What about this lady? They deserve to suffer and be deceived? If everyone in the Treasure Appraisal Association is like you, then what is the need for treasure appraisers to exist?"
Zhou Baolong angrily reprimanded him, told him to take off his clothes and get out, and removed his position as treasure appraiser.
There was a round of applause.
When the lady saw that the calligraphy and painting had been taken back, she was filled with gratitude. She came directly to Lin Xiao, knelt down and said, "Thank you, young man, you really helped me today. You are my great benefactor."
"
"Hurry up, ma'am, it's just a little effort."
Lin Xiao hurriedly helped her up. He just didn't want to see that bastard lie to her so disgustingly.
When Fang Qingxue and Long Qianjiao saw Lin Xiao's scene next to them, their views on him changed in their hearts.
"Daughter-in-law, let's go."
Lin Xiao settled the matter, turned around and said to Fang Qingxue.
Fang Qingxue nodded slightly and followed Lin Xiao away.
But before they had even taken two steps, Zhou Baolong caught up with them again, looked at Lin Xiao and said politely: "Young man, please stay."
"What else do you want?" Lin Xiao looked at him curiously and asked.
"Thank you just now for helping our Treasure Appraisal Association remove a decayed tooth. Moreover, I have seen the calligraphy and painting just now with my own eyes. If it were not for the extraordinary treasure appraisal skills, I would never be able to identify the authenticity."
"I wonder if you are interested in coming to work in our Treasure Appraisal Association?" Zhou Baolong invited him sincerely.
"Haha, I'm not interested."
Lin Xiao refused without hesitation and continued to turn around and leave.
He is a miracle doctor, but he is actually asked to be a treasure appraiser?
Zhou Baolong was stunned for a moment, but seemed unwilling to give up. He continued to catch up and said, "Young man, this is my business card. It doesn't matter if you don't want to come. I hope we can make friends and exchange antiques together in the future."
"In addition, if you need any help, just contact me and I will help you as much as I can. I would like to express my gratitude to you just as you just helped our Treasure Appraisal Association."
"Well... okay, seeing as you are so sincere, I will accept the business card."
Lin Xiao responded with disdain, accepted the business card and left directly.
The aunt stared blankly at Lin Xiao walking away, feeling grateful in her heart.
But Lin Xiao didn't know that Hao Wenhua, who had just been kicked out, was full of resentment towards him.
After seeing his figure, Hao Wenhua clenched his fists and swore secretly: Boy, remember what happened today, I will never let you go.
"Lin Xiao, I didn't expect you to really know how to identify treasures? How did you manage to know the authenticity of the calligraphy and painting just now without being able to do it?"
After walking away, Fang Qingxue asked with a hint of curiosity.
She could see clearly just now. Even a master treasure appraiser like Zhou Baolong would have to have some experience to identify the authenticity of antiques, but Lin Xiao didn't need it.
Either he is deceived, or his treasure appraisal skills are higher than Zhou Baolong's.
"Hehe, haven't I told you a long time ago? As long as I want to authenticate the antiques, I can tell whether they are genuine or not just by looking at them. It's just a painting. What's the difficulty?"
Lin Xiao patted his chest and said with an arrogant look.
Fang Qingxue rolled her eyes and thought to herself, this guy can really brag!
"Help, Mr. Zhou has fainted. Is there anyone who knows medical skills? Come over quickly and help him check on his condition."
At this moment, a shout came from behind Lin Xiao.
Lin Xiao turned around and saw Zhou Baolong, who had just said goodbye to him, fainted on the ground, and many people passed around him.
"It's strange. I didn't see any illness in him just now. Why did he faint suddenly?" Lin Xiao touched his chin and said with a curious look on his face.
"Who do you think you are? You can tell if someone is sick at a glance?"
Long Qianjiao glanced at him coldly and said disdainfully.
He was too lazy to pay much attention to the tigress, so he analyzed it carefully, frowned, and walked straight to Zhou Baolong's side.
"Excuse me, I'm a doctor, let me diagnose Mr. Zhou."
Among the crowd, a middle-aged man ran out, walked up to Zhou Baolong, squatted down and started diagnosing him.
The people around looked curious, no one knew what happened to Mr. Zhou.
Lin Xiao went in and took a closer look at his situation. It was exactly what he had guessed.
He has been in the antique world all year round. This is caused by the accumulation of yin energy in the body. Usually there are no symptoms, but when the yin energy accumulates to a certain level, the disease will suddenly occur.
And looking at Zhou Baolong's current situation, his life may be hanging by a thread and it may be more dangerous than imagined.
"Sir, how is Mr. Zhou's condition? Do you have any way to treat him?"
Mr. Zhou's assistant arrived here in time and looked at the middle-aged man who had finished the diagnosis and asked.
"Don't worry, Mr. Zhou's condition is caused by unstable qi and blood and excessive fatigue. As long as I give him a few injections, he can recover."
The middle-aged man responded seriously, took out a needle bag from his body, and prepared to inject Zhou Baolong.
