Rebirth 81: Being forced into marriage by my sister’s best friend at the beginning

Chapter 1: I, Zheng Xueming, recognize your godfather!

Seeing that Zheng Xueming was about to get angry, Chen Cheng quickly stepped forward to smooth things over.

He smiled and said, "Nephew Yang, please stop showing off. You recognize your godfather outside. What's his name?"

Chen Cheng speculated in his heart that there would definitely be no more than ten people in the capital with such strength!

These ten people are all well-known figures in the circle.

Zheng Xueming can't be said to have suffered a loss.

Yang Jianlong puffed up his chest and said loudly: "My name is Lin Ran, Yang Jianlong's godfather!"

Chen Cheng was slightly stunned. Is there an expert named Lin Ran in the circle?

I originally thought that it was Jiang Hua and his ilk who could be Yang Jianlong's godfather and be worthy of Zheng Xueming's family background.

Actually an unknown minor character?

You know, in this line of work, status is also very important.

Zheng Xueming is the boss of Tianlexing and one of the top ten connoisseurs in the capital. If it is rumored that his son has met people of various religions and religions outside, he will consider him his godfather.

It will be a major blow to the reputation of Zheng Xueming and Tian Lexing.

Chen Cheng also stopped joking, the expression on his face was deep and solemn, and his tone became serious.

"Nephew Yang, do you know what the status of your father and Tianlefang is in the capital? It's just normal nonsense, but the matter of recognizing your godfather needs to be considered carefully! You must not lose your etiquette!"

The smile on Yang Jianlong's face froze.

Why did Uncle Chen, who had clearly expressed his support for him just now, suddenly change his face and become unrecognizable?

In contrast, after hearing Lin Ran's name, Zheng Xueming broke away from the angry state just now, and his eyes lit up: "Jianlong, you are talking about Lin Ran, the little brother who had a gambling fight with you in Panjiayuan. ?"

"Exactly!" Yang Jianlong replied.

"Lin Ran, little brother?" Chen Cheng was confused. Does Zheng Xueming know this person?

"Yes, Brother Lin is young, only in his early twenties."

"That's unreasonable!" Chen Cheng became even more angry, "Nephew Yang, you are already in your 40s, how can you recognize a 20-year-old boy as your godfather? There is also a gambling fight. You must have really lost, and not him. A conspiracy? Don’t be afraid, Uncle Chen will help you make the decision!"

In just a few minutes, the attitudes of Zheng Xueming and Chen Cheng completely changed.

Zheng Xueming smiled and said: "Brother Chen, you misunderstood!"

Then, Zheng Xueming told Chen Cheng about his encounter with Lin Ran in Liulichang and the gambling fight in Panjiayuan.

I usually think that Yang Jianlong is messing around outside, but I didn't expect that he actually fulfilled his promise.

Although Lin Ran was a whole circle younger than him, Zheng Xueming was deeply pleased that Yang Jianlong could fulfill his bet.

"That day, Brother Lin was visiting Panjiayuan and met a lama. People around him said he was a liar and refused to talk to him. Only Brother Lin came forward to communicate with him, and the two had a great conversation."

"So he gave all the treasures to Brother Lin and invited him to travel to Tibetan areas. As a result, Panjiayuan lost a liar and gained a living Buddha legend practicing outside!"

"Brother Lin even got a Lotus Dzi Bead, and even Brother Jiang Hua couldn't put it down!"

"But in order to keep the contract, Brother Lin refused Jianghua's high-priced acquisition and recruitment. Regardless of his vision and mind, I am deeply impressed!"

Wu You told the story to Zheng Xueming that day, and he remembered it in his heart, thinking that it would definitely become a good story.

When I had the opportunity today, I took it out and shared it with an old friend.

"Hahaha!" Before Zheng Xueming finished speaking, Chen Cheng raised his head and laughed, "How wonderful that there are such interesting people in the world!"

Zheng Xueming cleared his throat and said to Yang Jianlong: "You usually fool around outside, but this time you accept Brother Lin as your godfather, and I, Zheng, agree!"

Refreshing and refreshing is exactly Zheng Xueming's style of doing things.

"Dad, I just said you would appreciate him."

"You just took off your pants and farted. It's unnecessary. I saw Brother Lin's ability earlier than you. Do you need to remind me?" Zheng Xueming glared at Yang Jianlong, but with a smile on his face.

Chen Cheng also felt a sense of expectation in his heart. He hadn't met such an interesting person as Lin Ran for a long time.

As people's living standards improve, more and more people are buying antiques and collectibles.

However, there are fewer and fewer newcomers in this circle. Most of the people who support the scene still rely on their generation.

If there is a rising star like Lin Ran, it will be a blessing for the literary and entertainment industry!

"Brother Zheng, you are telling me the story of Brother Lin." Chen Cheng became more interested in this old friend.

"Okay, today you and I will hold a candle and talk at night. Jianlong, go and make a pot of tea. I want to have a good chat with Uncle Chen." Zheng Xueming ordered.

Yang Jianlong had no choice but to do so.

When he came back with the teapot, the conversation between the two of them had already turned to the jade in Chen Cheng's hand.

"To tell you the truth, I like this piece of jade very much. I have been working in the industry for decades and have never seen such a crystal clear jade. If I bought it at an auction, I would definitely not be so moved. Can I buy it from a stone gambling den? For producing such jade, Brother Lin is definitely the best in the world."

The stone gambling industry is very deep, and both Chen Cheng and Zheng Xueming have studied it.

They are experts at appraising treasures. If any treasure is placed in their hands, it will take less than half an hour to fully understand whether it is a genuine product or a handicraft and what era it comes from.

But it's just a treasure hunt.

Gambling on stones was a relatively recent phenomenon, and they looked down upon it.

Judging whether a stone contains jade from its appearance is absurd to them.

Although some people are very knowledgeable about gambling stones and can judge the species and quality of jade from its surface.

Most of them were just bragging. If they really had this ability, they would have been poached by the quarry at a high price to become a master.

Chen Cheng is a master of jade, and even he cannot judge the composition of jade in the wool.

From Yang Jianlong's story just now, Lin Ran can not only see the color of jade, but also accurately guess the shape of jade.

what does this mean?

He said yes, it is definitely a good thing!

If he really had such skills, Chen Cheng would be willing to pay a lot of money to hire him. He wouldn't have to do anything. He could just follow him to various stone gambling sites to take a look, and then get the stones at a low price.

He is a chicken that can lay golden eggs.

Thinking of this, Chen Cheng couldn't help but laugh.

No wonder Zheng Xueming changed from resisting to accepting so quickly. When a son-in-law recognizes such a person as his godfather, it's like his daughter recruiting a rich husband, who will wake her up laughing when she falls asleep.

Chen Cheng regretted that he was not in the capital during this period. He missed two good shows in Liulichang and Panjiayuan, and he didn't get to see Lin Ran's true face in Lushan.

He sighed: "Hey, it's really bad luck. A batch of high-quality jadeite has arrived in Liaocheng during this period. I went to check the source of the goods. I didn't expect that I missed the opportunity to meet Lin Ran."

As he spoke, he played with the jade in his hand: "If you have the chance, I would really like to meet someone who can produce this kind of jade."

"Uncle Chen wants to make friends with his godfather, so there is no rush." ​​Yang Jianlong mustered up the courage to say. Normally, he would not be qualified to speak in front of his father-in-law's guests.

It’s unprecedented for us to be able to talk so freely today!
