As soon as the two stepped on the leopard skin carpet and entered the living room, Li Mengyao was already waiting at the door. She looked at Wei Xia with love in her eyes, and electric sparks flickered between the two.

"Dad, you are finally back, dinner is almost ready, why don't you go and change?"

She also only said a word to Li Jiacheng, and then her eyes were almost completely locked on Wei Xia.

Li Jiacheng saw the raging flame of love burning between the two, and knew that he was a light bulb, but he was also very high-spirited. He wanted to make the two of them perfect and get Wei Xia, the rich son-in-law, so he said to Wei Xia: "Little Wei, stay for dinner tonight.

Wei Xia said politely: "Huh? I'm so sorry, I still have things to do..."

Li Mengyao's face changed greatly when she heard this: "Is there anything more important than me? You just stay, it's not too late, the worst thing is to ask for leave."

"There are more important things than you."

Wei Xia thought so, but he didn't dare to say it, what he was thinking now was how to find an excuse to comfort Su Anxi at home.

Just when Li Mengyao dragged Wei Xia to the sofa, Su Anxi's phone call came, and Wei Xia had to tell Li Mengyao to wait, he had something to deal with.

He answered the phone and said, "My sister, what's the matter?"

Su Anxi said aggrievedly: "What else can I do? You haven't seen anyone for two or three days, what have you been doing? They haven't notified you in the past few days. I'm waiting for you at home every day. I'm really lonely..."

Wei Xia told Su Anxi what he had seen and heard in the past few days. He thought Su Anxi would be very angry, but unexpectedly, she said: "I didn't expect you to open your own antique shop. Your business scope is Le Te Zhan Yue By the way, am I going to become a rich woman from now on?"

Wei Xia breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Of course, as long as I can convince those investors tomorrow, you will be the first lady of the Wei family!"

After hearing this, Su Anxi was coaxed from ear to ear, and Wei Xia couldn't help sighing: "Women are really animals that act on emotions."

Li Mengyao rushed up from behind at this time, and hugged Wei Xia from behind.

She yelled to Wei Xia coquettishly: "Baby, let's go eat. The food will be cold in a while. I specially asked the chef of Yuexuan Building to cook you some of your favorite dishes? "

Wei Xia said to Su Anxi on the other end of the phone: "Sister, I'm going to have dinner, and I think we can meet in the evening the day after tomorrow. Let's not talk about it."

Hearing what Wei Xia said, Su Anxi hung up the phone. She told Wei Xia just now that she didn't care at all, but in fact, she felt very disgusted in her heart.She knew that Wei Xia did all this only for herself, but she still felt unwilling.

During the dinner, Li Mengyao kept picking up vegetables for Wei Xia, which made Wei Xia feel a little uncomfortable, and Li Jiacheng and Li's mother felt that they were not used to this kind of behavior.

Mother Li saw that Li Mengyao didn't hold back at all, piled up the vegetables in Wei Xia's bowl, and said nasty words, so she cleared her throat and said, "Cough, young people nowadays are really open, and we It was different back then."

Li Mengyao immediately understood the meaning of her mother's words:

"Mom~, Wei Xia is my boyfriend. Isn't it normal for us to show affection? We can't go out on a date and leave the two of you behind, right? Then I will feel sorry for your daughter."

She blinked and winked at Wei Xia as she spoke, as if saying: "Look at how smart I am. You must be with me!"

Although Wei Xia felt a little helpless, he still admired you from the bottom of his heart.

After the two of them had dinner, Wei Xia saw that it was raining outside, and pretended to leave. In fact, he did this just to show his reserve, and he didn't want Li Mengyao's parents to think that he was a particularly casual man.

But Li Mengyao stopped him, and hugged his arm tightly: "No, they asked you to accompany me, how could you leave so early? If you are not by my side, they will be very sad, and they will not be able to sleep well of."

Wei Xia refused again and again, but Li Mengyao still refused, even on the verge of crying.Li Jiacheng saw his daughter's willful mischief, so he had to say to Wei Xia: "Why don't you just stay here, anyway, we have to go to the hotel together tomorrow. When the time comes, we have to welcome those old fritters. The room on the right on the second floor is still available. on."

Seeing Li Mengyao's expectant face, Wei Xia knew that she had fallen for the trick, so he smiled naively: "Then since Uncle Li is so enthusiastic, I'd rather be obedient than respectful."

Li Mengyao was elated after hearing this, just like the cheerful little deer in the depths of the forest, she felt that her heart was shot by the arrow of the god of love.

###Chapter 20 Dismounting Mawei###

It was late at night, and Wei Xia fell asleep in a daze. Not long after, in the darkness, he felt someone climbed onto his bed and put his hand on his chest.

He could tell who he was with his eyes closed, because he could smell the unique perfume smell on Li Mengyao's hair.He didn't say anything, just wrapped his arms around the waist and hugged her into his arms.

It's night, the city is quiet, the moonlight and the lights of the city are intertwined, and two hearts collide with each other.

On the other side, at Su Anxi's house, she looked at the empty house and felt a little humble, and her loneliness swept over her.

Early the next morning, Wei Xia put on his clothes calmly and came to the living room, where he sat on the sofa and read the newspaper.

Li Mengyao staggered, fled back to her bedroom in a disheveled and disheveled manner.

It took a while before she got dressed and walked out.

Seeing her appearance, Wei Xia thought she was cute, and almost forgot that Li Mengyao was just a stepping stone for him to successfully enter the world of antiques.

At this moment, Li Jiacheng's scolding broke the tranquility in the villa:

"What? Did you guys make a mistake? Didn't you make an agreement yesterday? Why is it changed to estimate the price of five items in the auction house now? If the estimate is wrong, will we have to pay for the money you lost?

The person on the other end of the phone said contemptuously and arrogantly: "Didn't you say that Wei Xia would never get it wrong? If that's the case, let's make a big bet. Anyway, if you win, you can give it to me." Give yourself some face..."

Before Li Jiacheng finished speaking, the person on the other end of the phone hung up the phone.He couldn't help muttering: "Who is this, this is!"

"Okay, okay, calm down, don't get angry, eat breakfast quickly."

Mother Li has already brought breakfast to the side of the tea table at this moment, hot milk, freshly baked crispy bread, and pieces of shiny butter are placed in exquisite silverware, presented to several people before.

Wei Xia didn't care whether Li Jiacheng was very angry just now, picked up a piece of bread and said, "Uncle, why are you so angry? Those people changed their minds?"

After Li Jiacheng sat down, he took a sip of black coffee and said, "After discussing yesterday, they decided to ask you to help our most famous auction house to appraise five items. If your appraisal results are accurate in the end, then they will give you Investing will also allow you to directly obtain permission to participate in the auction.”

Wei Xia wondered, "Isn't this a good thing? Longsheng Auction House is the most authoritative auction house here. If I can show my face here, then the business of the Gilded Pavilion will surely flourish. , Maybe we can open a national chain store.

Li Jiacheng frowned: "It's not that simple. They want to make a fool of you. If you make a mistake in estimating something, the auction house will then push the responsibility to you. At that time, you will become an antique dealer. Is it the laughing stock?"

With confidence in mind, Wei Xia took a sip of coffee and said, "Uncle Li, you can rest assured about this. I will not let you down."

The time came to noon, and Li Jiacheng signaled his driver to take Wei Xia and himself to the auction house. As soon as the two of them arrived at the entrance of the auction house, Wei Xia saw three strange-looking men standing there from a distance.

One of them was bald, with gray hair, and a beard on his lips made him look very obscene. Although the other was thin and tall, he had heavy dark circles, sunken eye sockets, and a look of kidney deficiency.The last one showed a mouth full of big gold teeth, but his face was covered with pimples. He was still smoking a cigarette at the moment, and his face was greasy.

Wei Xia took the initiative to smile and shook hands with the three of them, saying, "These three must be Boss Li, Boss Tang and Boss Liu, right?"

But the three of them looked at him with a very disdainful look, as if telling him that he was simply humiliating himself by coming.Then he said as if he didn't hear what he said: "Let's go, you two, everything is upstairs."

Because the three of them are investors of Li Jiacheng's antique shop, Li Jiacheng can only introduce Wei Xia's achievements to the three of them in a humble manner.

The thin and tall man coughed and said, "Tsk, is this true?" I didn't expect my little brother to be so young, but he still has such abilities. If I hadn't been standing with Li Jiacheng, I would have I thought you were a brat who didn't know where to apply for the auctioneer. "

Wei Xia said neither humble nor overbearing: "Uncle, people should not be judged by their appearance, I will definitely surprise you in a while."

Wei Xia followed them in the elevator, stepped on the red velvet carpet on the second floor, and came to a soundproof room.Under the gentle light, a long table of carved boxwood appeared in front of everyone, and the room exuded a fragrance of red sandalwood.

The antiques on the table were covered with red silk cloth, and a woman in a suit and white gloves bowed respectfully to several people.

Wei Xia guessed that the fat man with white beard was Boss Tang mentioned by Li Jiacheng. He actually walked up to the girl in a suit in front of several people, slapped her on the buttocks, grabbed her hard, and said, "Wu Xiaohua, let's start today's appreciation?"

Before Wei Xia had time to complain about the rustic name and his vulgarity, the thing on the table had already attracted his attention.

This is a black lacquered metal sculpture, a black tiger with its bloody mouth wide open, but the black paint on its body is very uneven, and the workmanship is very poor at first glance.

Li Jiacheng could tell at a glance that this thing was not a good treasure. He didn't expect these three people to make things difficult for Wei Xia, and said in a low voice: "How can you bring this kind of street stall for him to appraise? Boss Tang is also a Longsheng anyway. Boss of the auction house, you just sell this kind of thing that you can't get your hands on?"

Boss Tang shrugged and said: "The so-called appraising treasures, of course, is the real ability to appraise things no matter how valuable they are. If you can only appraise those high-priced things, what should you do if you want to dump some cheap antiques?" ?”

The fat man's words were well-founded and convincing, making it impossible for Li Jiacheng to refute, but he knew that this was what they were humiliating. Wei Xia felt that his eyesight was not enough.

But even Li Jiacheng didn't expect that Wei Xia clapped his hands and praised again and again at this time: "Wonderful, it's really wonderful!"

###Chapter 21 Investing in Uplift###

Seeing Wei Xia clapping his hands all the time, Boss Tang felt a little puzzled. The two people who were sitting on the edge of the tea table drinking tea also raised their heads and scratched the tea with the lid of the teacup, looking leisurely.

Li Jiacheng also asked with a puzzled look: "Boy, what's so wonderful about this thing? Doesn't it look like an ordinary black lacquered tiger, or the craftsmanship is not very good."

Wei Xia knew there was another mystery in it, but now he didn't want to explain to these people that he just wanted to set a trap for these three vulgar people, so that they would take the bait.

So he said: "This thing can be sold for more than 500 yuan. The auction house's price should be five hundred and one hundred and eighty. There must be many people rushing to buy it at the auction house, after all, it is too cheap."

He cleared his throat and said:

I have always heard before: "Longsheng Auction House has a very good reputation. The auctions can be sold out every time. It seems that a few people like to take the edge of the sword and take the distribution route of small profits but high sales. It turns out that the auction house can Operating like a department store was an eye-opener for me."

Li Jiacheng immediately understood Wei Xia's meaning, and he couldn't help covering his mouth so as not to laugh too exaggeratedly.

When the three of them heard this, their faces turned red and white, even more colorful than the facial makeup.

The leader, Boss Tang, was even more restless. He gritted his teeth and said, "Little brother, your tone is not small? I see that you are implying that our Longsheng Auction House sells cheap goods?"

Those two people also echoed: "That's right, the things here are all high-end!"

Wei Xia shrugged and explained: "That's not what I meant. I just judged from this tiger that the things you sell are relatively cheap. After all, don't you just look at me from the outside? You said this yourself , has nothing to do with me.

Wei Xia's neither humble nor overbearing attitude, and his clever and witty performance opened Li Jiacheng's eyes. He did not expect that Wei Xia would have such courage and austerity at such a young age.If it were someone else, he would have peed his pants in fright.

However, in order to ease the current stalemate, he smoothed things over and said: "Several, this kid is young, so sometimes he speaks out, please don't mind."

Boss Tang glared at Li Jiacheng:

"Yes, what Boss Li said is that since this is the case, you don't need to appraise so many things, lest you say that we are deceiving people too much. If you can guess the specific price of the next thing, I will I will give you the permission of the auction house, and I will invest in you, but if you guess wrong, get out of my world quickly, and don't let me see you, a brat who knows nothing about the sky and the earth!"

"This..." Li Jiacheng showed embarrassment. He didn't expect that Boss Tang, who was so cunning and cunning, would take advantage of it and tamper with the content of the agreement, making it more difficult for Wei Xia.

But Wei Xia is quite sure, after all, he has a system, so he smiled and agreed: "Okay, it's a deal."

Boss Tang clapped his hands, and the woman in a suit just removed all the other things on the table, and then slowly walked over here pushing a trolley.

When she uncovered the red velvet silk cloth, all the people present were blinded by the light emitted from the objects above.

Boss Liu and Boss Li were still saying, "Oh, I didn't expect Boss Tang to be serious with a child today, and took out all his treasures."

Boss Tang shook his head with a big belly: "Hehe, you two, how could my big auction house not have a few good things to sell? Otherwise, it wouldn't be called the No. [-] auction house in Taojiang City."

This is what he said on his mouth, but his teeth have been gritted in his heart:

"Little brother, these things are the treasures I just imported from foreign countries a while ago, and the workmanship is also very good. It took more than a month to even polish them. Come and see how much this thing is worth? If If you say the wrong price, don't blame me for turning my back on you."

Wei Xia swallowed, the system has already told him the price of this thing, but he has never seen such a magical antique, this crystal is as big as a basketball, and it is not transparent, there are strands like hair Same crystal.The dazzling light is reflected by these crystals.

Wei Xia couldn't help admiring: "Boss Tang, I didn't expect you to have such a good thing in your hand. This hair spar looks really beautiful."

When he said this, he actually wanted to imply that Boss Tang knew what he was doing.

After that, he accurately stated the price of this item.

Boss Tang was completely stunned when Wei Xia quoted the price, and even the fraction was exact. His expression was no better than constipation.

Boss Li and Boss Liu glanced at the price tags in their hands, and were amazed that the boy could accurately name the spar. The two looked at each other, and immediately took advantage of the situation and turned into fools.

Both of them praised Wei Xia and said, "Oh, I didn't expect the little brother to have such abilities at such a young age. It's really amazing. We heard what Li Jiacheng said on the phone before and thought he was just here Our investment, so it's a joke."

Wei Xia sneered: "Tch, these two old guys had a disdainful expression just now, wishing to look at people with their nostrils, it's so slippery and disgusting."

But he didn't say that, after all, they still have to cooperate in the future, so he said to Boss Tang: "Boss Tang, do you want to take back what you said just now? I know that the sky is strong and the earth is thick, and I know that you are thin-skinned." very."

Boss Tang said: "Yes, yes, with the permission of the auction house, I will ask my subordinates to send it to you in a while. But I have one more thing here. I hope you can help us identify it. If you can identify its price. I Without further ado, the investment will be issued to you immediately."

Wei Xia frowned: "Boss, how can you not keep your words? That's not what you said just now. The boss of the dignified Longsheng Auction House will break his promise. If this news gets out..."

Boss Tang explained: "We are doing this out of prudence, so we have no choice. This is not only considering your interests, but also the interests of our auction house, isn't it? After all, the investment comes from us, so of course we have to consider it carefully Is it profitable after that?"

Wei Xia secretly spit on Boss Tang's face in his heart, rolled his eyes and said to him, "Okay, I'll help you identify one more thing, but I have my own conditions."

Boss Tang raised his eyebrows: "Please tell me."

"If I guess the price right, and it's accurate, not only will you invest in me, but I will also be one of the shareholders of Longsheng Auction House. I want 20% of the shares."

###Chapter 22 Love###

The two of them understood what Wei Xia meant as soon as they heard it, and they secretly lamented that Wei Xia had extraordinary eyesight and courage.

Boss Li immediately winked at Boss Liu and said, "Okay, of course there is no problem. We will give you 20% of Boss Tang's shares when the time comes. He has not always occupied 60% of the total shares, and 20% is not a big amount anyway. "

Boss Tang looked back at the two old fried dough sticks with his small eyes in disbelief. Sure enough, there were only eternal interests among businessmen, and there were no absolute friends.Even though they had cooperated with them for many years and had business contacts, they finally chose to push themselves out.Just because I own a lot of shares.

But now that I am caught between the two of them and Wei Xia, if I refuse, not only will I offend Wei Xia, but it will also affect my cooperation with the two of them.So he could only grit his teeth: "Okay, let's do this."

Then he clapped his hands to signal the service staff to bring them the last antique that needs to be appraised for the price today.

This is a blue and white bowl as big as a washbasin. The patterns drawn on it are very simple and have a charm.

Wei Xia stroked it with gloves on for a while, then closed his eyes seriously and said: "This thing is in very good condition, and there is no slightest crack, and even the pattern on it is very different from some high-quality imitations. .So it should be real blue and white porcelain, and the price should be around 19825000."

In fact, the moment Wei Xia announced the price, Boss Tang already had a premonition that the 20% of the shares would definitely be lost.

It's just that when he really lost this part of the money, Boss Tang felt as if someone had stabbed his heart hard. It was really uncomfortable to feel that his own cake was forcibly divided.This is not only related to commercial interests, but also their own face.

So he said to Wei Xia with a smile on his lips: "Young man, I didn't expect you to be so powerful and have such a future."

But I thought in my heart that I must try my best to make Wei Xia look ugly in the future, even if I invested in him, I would have to discredit him in front of everyone.

In this way, after he has lost his money, he will be able to see the ugly expression on his face when he asks for money, and his goal of getting rid of the shame will be achieved.
