Chapter 82 Forcing Xu Shaoan to apologize in public(1/3)

Zhou Wanrou was closest to Hong Yu and could see it most clearly.

She was also dumbfounded at this time.

The reverse side of the calligraphy and painting is white and flawless.

It is obviously rice paper made after the Ming Dynasty, when papermaking technology became more developed.

It turned out to be really a fake.

Zhou Wanrou was very surprised.

The shocked expressions of everyone in the exhibition hall were actually what Hong Yu had expected.

He didn't care at all.

Immediately afterwards, he took out two more calligraphy and paintings of Tang Bohu from the broken glass frame.

Similarly, show the reverse side of the calligraphy and painting to everyone present.

Without exception.

On the reverse side of the calligraphy and painting, there are no vertical and horizontal lines, and even the colors are not right.

It is not rice paper from the Ming Dynasty at all.

Everyone at the scene was stunned. Such a huge flaw had not been discovered before.

After reacting, everyone looked at Xu Shaoan.

I want to hear his explanation.

After all, the three calligraphy and paintings were all fakes, which indeed subverted their understanding of Xu Shaoan.

Not the vice president of the Antiques Association?

Didn’t he study under He Guangrong, the master of Chinese treasure appraisal?

Isn’t it said that he was born with golden eyes?

Is this the level?

Collected three fakes in a row?

Or is it that Xu Shaoan actually knew it was a fake, but deliberately used it to defraud people of money at this exchange conference?

Think of this.

Everyone was full of contempt for Xu Shaoan and thought he was too much.

However, most of them dare to be angry but dare not speak out.

Noticing that hundreds of pairs of questioning eyes were on him, Xu Shaoan's face turned red.

Ever since I was a child, I have never been so embarrassed.

He wished that a crack would suddenly open in the ground and he could crawl in.

Hong Yu looked at Xu Shaoan and said calmly: "Xu Shaoan, with your professional ability, I guess you don't need me to say anything else, right?"

Hearing the words "professional ability", Xu Shaoan's face turned even redder.

I felt it was an insult to him.

Because he couldn't figure out even the simplest rice paper problem, how could he talk about his professional ability?

However, you can't blame him for this.

Who appraises ancient paintings and looks at the reverse side of them?

They all study issues such as the ink and lines used by frontal painters.

Today, this time, he was taught a heavy lesson.

"Mr. Hong, there's no need. You win this time."

Xu Shaoan said unwillingly.

He felt that he lost just because he was careless and didn't see clearly.

It’s not that my level of treasure appraisal is not as good as Hong Yu’s.

Hong Yu said: "In that case, please apologize to the friends who came to attend the treasure appraising exchange meeting today, Master Xu."

Apologize?

When Xu Shaoan heard this, he hesitated for a moment.

In all his life, he has never apologized to anyone.

He has an innate arrogance and never bows his head.

"You brat, Mr. Xu has already admitted defeat, and you still want to slap your face on me, right? It's really embarrassing for you."

Wu Qingfeng, the dog-legger, interrupted.

Hong Yu said: "I didn't force Mr. Xu, he just agreed to it himself."

"What? Do you want Mr. Xu to be a villain?"

"Boy, don't slander anyone, that's not what I meant."

Wu Qingfeng argued.

Zhou Wanrou smiled and said: "Wu Qingfeng, what do you mean, we guys don't know."

"But that's exactly what you did!"

"Young Master Xu just said personally that if the three paintings in his collection were fakes, he would apologize in public. You were present at the time, so you must have heard it. But now that Young Master Xu goes back on his words, isn't that just making Young Master Xu a villain?"

"I don't."

Wu Qingfeng's face flushed with anxiety, and he shook his head desperately to Xu Shao'an beside him and explained: "Xu Shaoan, that's not what I meant, I just don't want you to lose face."

"Shut up, you're a guy who doesn't succeed enough but fails more than he does."

Xu Shaoan shouted angrily.

He was in a very bad mood today.

Wu Qingfeng undoubtedly hit the muzzle of his gun.

Unable to hold back his temper, he raised his hand and slapped Wu Qingfeng hard on the face.

With a "pop" sound, Wu Qingfeng was stunned by the slap. Five finger marks on his face were clearly visible. He covered his face and hid aside, shivering, and no longer dared to speak.

Xu Shaoan ignored him and looked up at Hong Yu, wishing he could tear Hong Yu's skin apart.

If Hong Yu hadn't exposed it, how would his reputation be tarnished today?

From now on, in Jiangzhou's antique world, he, the so-called young treasure appraiser, will probably only become a laughing stock for others.

But on the surface, he still has to pretend to be a humble and polite gentleman.

"Mr. Hong, a gentleman's words are hard to follow. Of course I will do what I said."

Xu Shaoan said.

Then, without any hesitation, he bowed down and apologized to everyone in the exhibition hall:

"Everyone, I'm sorry. Because of my lack of ability, I took three fakes to display here today. I hope you can forgive me if I misled you."

"Master Xu, it's okay. Everyone gets punched in the eye sometimes, and you are not a saint."

"Yes, Mr. Xu, there is no need to feel guilty. Anyone on the scene who dares to be 100% sure about his collection must be authentic."

"..."

There were many people at the scene who wanted to take today's opportunity to flatter Xu Shaoan, and they all opened their mouths to help him get off the ground.

Those who really had objections to Xu Shaoan naturally let it go when they saw that Xu Shaoan apologized.

After all, the Xu family is not easy to mess with.

Xu Shaoan slowly stood up straight, looked at Hong Yu again, and said in a gentle tone:

"Mr. Hong, I wonder if this is enough?"

Hong Yu nodded and smiled: "That's enough. It's not easy for me to let go of my body."

Xu Shaoan turned to look at Zhou Wanrou and said with a smile: "Miss Zhou, I'm leaving."

After that, he turned around and walked out of the exhibition hall.

The rich second generations behind him all followed him.

As soon as he left, everyone in the exhibition hall got close to Hong Yu.

"Mr. Hong, please forgive our ignorance, but we didn't realize that your level of treasure appraisal is so high before. You are inferior to many young masters. We are so ashamed. 1"

"Mr. Hong, can you tell me how you found out that the three calligraphy and paintings of Tang Bohu were fake?"

"Those three calligraphy and paintings are placed in a glass frame. Only the front side of the painting can be seen. No one can see what is on the back side. How do you know there are no stripes on the back?"

"Also, when you smashed the glass frame, weren't you afraid that you might have seen something wrong?"
