Chapter Twelve Are You Willing To Be My Apprentice?
"Yang Fan! That's enough for you. What do you know? You want to be my boss within two months of joining the industry. Who do you think you are?"
Li Changgeng finally couldn't help it and started yelling at Yang Fan.
"Manager Li, listen to me..."
Yang Fan wanted to say something else, but was directly interrupted by Li Changgeng:
"Get out of here and clean the house. You have to know that I am the chief treasure appraiser here. If you have any objections, you can tell the boss and get rid of me as the chief treasure appraiser!
If you don’t have this ability, just go and work for me and remember your identity. If it weren’t for the fact that you owe the boss money, you would have gotten out of here just because you are now dictating my appraisal results!”
Yang Fan's face didn't look good either. He ignored Li Changgeng and grabbed Li Ruoxi's arm and pulled her away. As he walked, he said:
"You should go elsewhere for appraisal. There must be something wrong with this. Just listen to me!"
Poor Li Ruoxi, she was originally here to appraise a painting scroll, but before she could say a few words, she saw two people in the antique shop arguing, and she was a little confused.
Before he could think of how to break up the fight, Yang Fan had already pulled him out of the door.
"Yang Fan, you're crazy, how dare you be so rude to your guests!"
Li Changgeng hurriedly chased him out and cursed directly:
"I'm going to tell the boss today and ask him to take you to court, otherwise I will quit my job as the chief treasure appraiser and turn against you, you brat."
While he was cursing, he found Yang Fan motionless there. When he looked up, he found his boss Liu Yutang and another person standing there, staring at him with dark faces.
"Old...boss, I...I didn't mean that, it was...him, Yang Fan, this guy, I originally..."
"Shut up and go back to me. Isn't that embarrassing enough?"
Liu Yutang cursed loudly, then turned to the people around him and said:
"Teacher, I'm really sorry for making you laugh. They don't usually act like this, and they don't know what happened today."
"It's okay, you take care of yours and I'll just take a look."
With that said, the old man walked into the antique shop without noticing anything, and casually strolled around to look at it.
"What happened? Please explain it to me clearly!"
Liu Yutang walked in and asked in a low voice to the two of them, his face was frighteningly dark.
That old man is Zhang Qingshan, his master who entered this business, and he is also a big player in the antique industry. I originally wanted to come with him today to see the situation of his store.
Unexpectedly, something like this happened. The manager of the store had an argument with an employee and the old man watched it all.
"Boss, do you still remember the scroll that Mr. Xu came to appraise yesterday?"
Li Changgeng asked.
"Of course you remember, don't try to talk to me about it, just talk about the topic directly!"
Liu Yutang said with a dark face and suppressed his anger.
"Oh, it's like this. Today this girl bought Xu Sanye's "Clouds and Rain on the Green Mountains" and asked me to come to the store to have it appraised. I just appraised this painting yesterday, and naturally there is nothing wrong with it, but the result stinks.
The boy insisted on saying that the painting was a fake, but he couldn't explain why. He also scolded me for being blind and unable to tell the truth from the false. He also said, boss, you..."
Li Changgeng kept chattering.
"Hey, he didn't say that, let alone the boss. Don't add to it!"
Li Ruoxi couldn't listen anymore and looked at Li Changgeng with disgust and said.
"I... in short, he insisted on saying that the painting was a fake, and then he insisted on asking the girl to go out to an antique shop for appraisal, and then pushed the person out. Isn't this a slap in our face and a smash on our signboard?
"
Li Changgeng stammered for a moment, and then he didn't dare to talk nonsense, and explained the situation clearly.
"Yang Fan, what's going on?"
Liu Yutang looked at Yang Fan with a dark face and asked.
"Yes, boss, but that painting is indeed a fake."
In any case, this boss was quite good to him before, Yang Fan replied seriously.
"Girl, let me lend you the scroll."
Liu Yutang and Li Ruoxi said.
Li Ruoxi was originally here to appraise the scroll, so naturally she would not refuse and handed the scroll over.
Liu Yutang unfolded the scroll, looked at it for a few times, then looked at Yang Fan and said:
"You said this painting is a fake. Where is the fake in this painting?"
"I……"
Yang Fan still couldn't explain why.
"Yang Fan, I'm really disappointed with you! Originally, I was very optimistic about you. I wanted you to study hard with Manager Li and find a way out in this industry in the future. Even if you broke a three-million-dollar jade pendant, I would still
Take the initiative to help you shoulder half of the responsibility.
I just want you to repay your kindness, study hard and work hard, but look at you, what are you doing? I don’t care if you are retaliating because Manager Li is usually strict with you, or because you are so ambitious, today
You must give me a proper explanation of the matter.
Otherwise, let’s meet in court!”
After saying that, Liu Yutang sat down and waited for Yang Fan to speak.
"Boss, if you don't tell me, I haven't thought of it. Today, this kid was twenty-five minutes late. I fined him a whole morning's salary in accordance with the rules and regulations. This kid came here. He must be retaliating. Such a petty person
How can people stay in our store?”
Li Changgeng once again went up to fan the flames.
"Boss, no matter what, you and this Miss Li are kind to me. Even if you take me to court now, I have to say that this painting is a fake!"
Yang Fan thought for a while and said seriously.
"Look, look, the cooked duck is still tough!"
Li Changgeng took advantage of every opportunity behind the scenes.
"Come on, is it okay to let the old man appreciate this painting?"
At this time, the old man who had been wandering around the store moved his hands and feet and came over and said.
"Teacher, please."
Liu Yutang just stood up, asked the old man to sit down, and handed the scroll to him.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk."
Zhang Qingshan first looked at the scroll, then at Yang Fan, then at the scroll, and then at Yang Fan.
"Teacher, what are you..."
Liu Yutang asked with some confusion.
"If this antique shop of yours is going to be like this, it's better to close it as soon as possible."
The old man laughed, put down the scroll, looked at Yang Fan and said:
"Boy, are you willing to be my apprentice?"
"ah?"
Yang Fan, Liu Yutang, and Li Changgeng were shocked at the same time.
Li Ruoxi was the only one with a calm face. It was a joke. When she met this guy yesterday, even her old man had a love for money and wanted to accept a disciple. If Yang Fan hadn't told the truth about his apprenticeship, I'm afraid the old man would have just let him go.
He changed his family.
"Ah what? There is a kind of person in this world who is born to eat this bowl of rice, and this kid is one of them!"
Zhang Qingshan said slowly.
