Gu Junlin smiled and nodded: "Of course it's okay."
Zhongli cheered again.
"Mr. Gu." Seeing that the matter here has been dealt with, Tang Junshan also said goodbye.
"Tomorrow at three o'clock in the afternoon at Ziyuan Villa, Mr. Gu, please don't forget our agreement."
With that said, Tang Junshan took out a business card from his body and handed it to Gu Junlin.
"Don't worry, Mr. Tang." Since he had accepted such a huge favor from Tang Junshan, Gu Junlin naturally had no reason to shirk. He took the business card with both hands and nodded in agreement.
After Tang Junshan left, Zhong Li completely let himself go. He selected seven or eight wedding dresses in a row and waved to Zhong Huixue: "Cousin, let's go and try on wedding dresses."
Zhong Huixue was also excited, not because there were so many wedding dresses to choose from, but because Gu Junlin finally had his own career.
Everything is starting to go in the right direction.
Zhong Li toiled in the store for two hours before leaving with unfinished content. She rented a house outside and didn't like living with her mother, Song Shanshan.
Gu Junlin and Zhong Huixue went home.
Nothing happened all night.
The next day, when Zhong Huixue went to work, Gu Junlin went to the hospital to see Xuanxuan, and then took a car to Ziyuan Villa to attend the banquet as scheduled.
"Mr. Tang, I'm here."
At the gate of the villa, Gu Junlin called Tang Junshan.
Surprisingly, Mr. Tang came out to greet him in person, accompanied by a polite middle-aged man wearing glasses.
"Mr. Gu, you are finally here. Let me introduce you. This is Professor Shi Wenyuan, professor of the History Department of Yenching University in the imperial capital."
"The ancient sword that needs to be identified was brought by Professor Shi."
Tang Junshan pointed to the middle-aged man beside him to introduce, then pointed to Gu Junlin and said to Professor Shi with a smile: "Professor Shi, this is Gu Junlin, Mr. Gu, he is here to help us with the appraisal today."
"Hello, Professor Shi."
Gu Junlin politely stretched out a hand, but Shi Wenyuan looked arrogant and didn't even look at Gu Junlin, but just said to Tang Junshan.
"Mr. Tang, not everyone can attend our gathering at Ziyuan Villa. In the future, we should not invite such ignorant people to attend."
Shi Wenyuan turned around and left. Tang Junshan suddenly looked embarrassed and explained to Gu Junlin in a low voice:
"Mr. Gu, Professor Shi is usually like this, so don't take it to heart."
Gu Junlin naturally did not have the same knowledge as Professor Shi, so he nodded and walked with Tang Junshan to the interior of Ziyuan Villa.
There were five people sitting in a small living room. Except for Professor Shi, the rest were all old-timers in the antique industry with mottled white hair.
After introducing each other to everyone, Tang Junshan said: "Okay, bring out the ancient sword and ask all the seniors to take care of it."
"Don't dare, don't dare, Mr. Tang is the real senior." There were humble voices all around.
Tang Junshan smiled slightly and looked back at Xiao Fang. After a while, Xiao Fang held a long box and gently placed it on the table, saying softly:
"Mr. Tang, the sword is here."
Tang Junshan didn't say anything, opened the sword box, and a cold light shone on his face.
Everyone took a closer look and found two ancient swords, one long and one short, lying in the box. They turned out to be a pair of mother-and-son swords.
Gu Junlin also glanced at the two swords and quickly looked away.
The two swords are one real and one fake, the short sword is real and the long sword is fake.
"Everyone, these are the two ancient swords brought by Professor Shi. They have passed preliminary appraisal by Professor Shi. First, please introduce the general situation to Professor Shi."
Tang Junshan said and glanced at Shi Wenyuan.
Shi Wenyuan nodded, stood up, and said slowly.
"Everyone, I spent 200 million to buy these two swords from abroad. After my preliminary appraisal, one of the two swords is authentic and one is fake. I personally prefer the long sword to be authentic and the short sword to be fake."
"But we still have to ask all the seniors to appraise it together. After confirming that it is correct, we can sign the appraisal form."
After hearing this, Gu Junlin couldn't help but look up at Professor Shi, but Professor Shi exchanged glances with an old professor named Pan Yue sitting next to him.
He didn't notice the situation on Gu Junlin's side at all.
"Let me take a look."
After receiving Shi Wenyuan's look, Pan Yue immediately stood up, picked up the two swords, looked at them over and over for a while, and then nodded sharply.
"Yes, I also tend to Professor Shi's judgment. The long sword is real and the short sword is fake."
Hearing this, Gu Junlin couldn't help but look at Pan Yue again.
If Professor Shi could be forgiven for mistaking him, how come he misled two people in a row?
The people sitting here are all seniors in the antique industry, so the possibility of this happening is almost zero.
The only reasonable explanation is.
Shi Wenyuan and Pan Yue had colluded long ago and wanted to swallow the real ancient sword and send the fake to the museum.
Gu Junlin raised his head and glanced at Tang Junshan again, but saw that Tang Junshan's face was ugly, and he seemed to be aware of it.
Gu Junlin couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart.
It seems that Tang Junshan may not have any good intentions in inviting him here.
Maybe he had noticed Shi Wenyuan's little behavior a long time ago and just wanted to express it with his own mouth.
At this time, the remaining three senior professors also went up to take turns appraising the two swords.
Two people said that identifying ancient metals is not their specialty. They can only identify ancient paintings, so they cannot tell whether they are authentic or fake.
However, there was a professor named Zhao who also agreed with Shi Wenyuan's judgment and said that the long sword was real and the dagger was fake.
Then everyone's eyes fell on Tang Junshan's face.
"Mr. Tang, you are the Taishan Beidou in the literary and entertainment world. Please give me some ideas."
Tang Junshan was silent.
After a while, Tang Junshan suddenly raised his head and glanced at Gu Junlin: "Mr. Gu, your appraisal is still better than mine, why don't you appraise it first."
Gu Junlin yawned.
"Don't look any further, the dagger is real and the long sword is fake."
"What nonsense!"
These words simply made Shi Wenyuan furious.
Shi Wenyuan immediately rushed to Gu Junlin, pointed at his nose and shouted:
"Where did you come from? How dare you talk nonsense here? If it weren't for Mr. Tang's sake, I would have had you kicked out of the villa."
"Just telling the truth." Gu Junlin looked calm.
"Fart!" Shi Wenyuan completely lost his grace at this moment and yelled at Gu Junlin:
"You didn't even touch those two swords, and you dare to judge the truth from the lies and pretend. It's simply ridiculous."
With that said, Shi Wenyuan suddenly turned around and said to Tang Junshan:
"Mr. Tang, now I demand that this Gu Junlin be driven away immediately. This kid has no understanding of cultural relic appraisal and is just here to cause trouble."
Tang Junshan shook his head: "Shi Wenyuan, please sit back first. Since Gu Junlin has made a different judgment than everyone else, you must listen to the reason."
"Gu Junlin, please tell me why the short sword is real and the long sword is fake?"
