Chapter 85: Dividing the Spoils?

  Gu Xiang looked at the boxes dragged out by both sides and secretly guessed that what Qin Sheng had asked her to appraise should be inside the boxes.

  "This box hasn't been moved since it was handed over, as for who can get how much, that depends on each person's ability." Yu Xiao said slowly to the man with a hooked nose.

  "This doesn't need to be said, I already know." The eagle-nosed man's eyes rolled over, casting his gaze onto Gu Mian, a sneer rising at the corner of his mouth: "I know today's matter is urgent, but you people are really bold, finding such a little girl, hoping that later on you won't regret it."

  "This sentence should be given to you." Yu Xiao said with a faint smile.

  He had some doubts about the people Qin Sheng brought being too young, but losing a person is not as important as losing face, no matter what he thought in his heart, he had to give his own side a boost.

  "A dead duck with a hard mouth, time is running out, hurry up and do the right thing." The eagle-nosed man hummed softly and nodded his chin at the woman on this side.

  The woman received the instruction, stood up, walked to the box, and first poured out all the things in the box on this side.

  Splash...

  Fortunately, the carpet was laid very thickly and there were not many fragile items in the box, so nothing was damaged when everything fell out.

  Gu Meng looked at the other person's rough movement, her eyelid twitched, and she felt a slight sense of surprise in her heart.

  Others are extremely careful when handling antique artifacts, but this person comes along and does this; I don't know what they're thinking.

  Qin Sheng seemed to have noticed Gu Mian's surprise, and leaned in close to her ear, saying in a low voice: "Don't worry, later on you just choose, the things inside are half true and half false. Try your best to pick out what you think is real. If you pick something, directly put it back in the box, once the thing goes into the box, it counts as ours."

  After that, Qin Sheng took a few steps forward and, just like the woman on the other side, poured out all the things in the box. The two boxes of things were immediately mixed together, making it impossible to distinguish which side they originally belonged to.

  Why does it feel like we're splitting the spoils?

  Gu Meng looked at the scene in front of her and couldn't help but mutter to herself. [Super good!]

  Although Qin Sheng didn't say it very clearly, Gu Mei was able to hear the hidden meaning behind his words. The things on the ground were divided equally among everyone. When selecting, it wasn't just about the appraiser's eyesight, but also speed; otherwise, even with great eyesight, the good stuff would be picked clean by others, and no one could predict the outcome.

  "Wait a minute." Yu Xiao stopped Gu Mian who was about to move forward. After thinking for a moment, she pulled Qin Sheng and another man aside to discuss something in hushed tones, seemingly reaching some sort of agreement. Only then did she walk up to Gu Mian's front. In a low voice, she said: "Since you're brought here by Qin Sheng, I'm sure you must have some skills. You can carefully choose from the things over there, and after you've finished choosing, you can pick one thing from the real ones as your reward for this time."

  Gu Mei unconsciously took a glance at Qin Sheng. She saw Qin Sheng nodding at her.

  "Am I free to choose?" was Gu Mei's first words after entering the door.

  "Feel free to pick, and it's from the real thing. If you can pick out a large proportion of genuine products, I won't be stingy with you afterwards." Yu Xiao said generously, if Gu Mian could pick out more authentic goods, he didn't mind taking out a few pieces.

  "I understand." Gu Mian originally just wanted to come and help, and didn't think about getting paid or anything. Since the other party had already brought it up, if she were to decline and not accept, that would seem a bit strange.

  Yu Xiao nodded at Gu Mian and dodged to one side.

  Gu Mian walked over to where the things were placed. Her line of sight wandered around the person who was sent by the other party to pick out things.

  She said that the women she had seen recently were all pretty, and the last time she saw Liu Manager at Robert's villa, this time the woman in front of her was about the same age as Liu Manager. Also a very beautiful mature woman.

  She was wearing a formal professional attire, and the whole person exuded a capable atmosphere. Compared to her casual dress, she looked much more professional. [Super good!]

  "May we begin?" The other party politely asked after Gu Miao stood still.

  "Alright." Gu Ming nodded.

  The two of them looked at each other and then squatted down, starting to pick up things from the ground.

  This time, Gu Mei didn't plan to hold back. In front of the professor and her classmates, she would occasionally intentionally make a small mistake to avoid arousing suspicion. However, this time was different. Putting aside Yu Xiao's previous words that she could casually choose something she liked from the selected items, just for Qin Sheng's face, she had to do a good job.

  Moreover, Yu Xiao is obviously a well-connected person, and if we can establish a good relationship with him, it will be beneficial no matter what.

  She had roughly swept through it before and found that this pile of things was indeed a bit messy, with books, paintings, jade utensils and whatnot all jumbled together in a heap, big and small, everything was there.

  Gu Mei lightly stroked the jade bangle on her left hand, then directly stretched out her left hand.

  This time's key is speed, ruthlessness and accuracy, none of which can be lacking.

  The first thing her left hand touched was a small copper incense burner, and as soon as she held it in her hand, she felt the heat emanating from it, and the familiar joy in her heart rose up, accompanied by a faint metallic clinking sound.

  Three aspects of feeling combined together, Gu Ming didn't say another word and immediately put the thing into the box, while putting his attention to the next item.

  Originally, Gu Miao thought her movements were already quite fast, but she didn't expect the other person to almost simultaneously select and put something into the box.

  Because of the urgency of time, Gu Mei didn't think much and just glanced at the other person before withdrawing her line of sight.

  Perhaps it was a tacit understanding unique to women, but Gu Mei and the woman across from her never once picked out the same thing at the same time while selecting.

  The more Gu Mengyue picked from the back, the more she felt like they were dividing spoils. She couldn't help but think of Yu Xiao's previous investigation into the antique dealer and wonder if these things weren't actually "loot" that had been left behind by those above.

  The pile of things on the ground indeed had a mix of genuine and fake items. When she touched them with her left hand, one out of every three items was real, which was already a surprisingly high ratio, causing her heart to beat slightly faster.

  Because every time she touched a real antique, Gu Mei's heart would rise with joy, so the more she picked, the better her mood became, and the faster she picked things up. To others, it was almost as if she had made up her mind to take or leave something at first sight, without any hesitation, neat and efficient to the point where one couldn't help but be impressed.

  "Qin Sheng, isn't this a bit too fast?" Yu Xiao stared blankly at Qin Sheng, his eyes filled with doubt as he blinked fiercely, the cigarette between his fingers forgotten.

  "Don't you want to hurry up?" Qin Sheng glanced at Yu Xiao.

  "I'd love to hurry, but... " Yu Xiao took a deep drag on his cigarette, glanced at the hawk-nosed man standing opposite him with a solemn expression, and continued: "That guy is a tough nut to crack. The appraiser he brought in isn't simple either. I've only heard people mention him before, but never met him in person - that's a famous quick hand."

  "Do you believe me?" Qin Sheng looked at Yu Xiao steadily.

  "If I didn't believe you, would I still let you go find someone?" Yu Xiao Li immediately replied.

  "Just believe me, it's not easy for me to find someone reliable for you in such a short time. Anyway, you won't have any loss." Qin Sheng looked at Yu Xiao with a hint of a smile.

  Yu Xiao was looked at by Qin Sheng like that, and he repeatedly waved his hand, saying: "Alright alright alright, I'll shut up, I won't speak."

  Gu Mei Ke, who had already fallen into the madness of touching all kinds of antiques, didn't care about what others thought of her. Now she only had one idea in mind: to get all the good things over to her side.

  Under the excitement, she suddenly touched a small jade sheep ornament, which is actually more suitable to be regarded as a handheld toy. The jade sheep has its four limbs kneeling and lying down, with its head held high and chest out, and its two round eyes looking straight ahead. It's only about three or four centimeters tall, and the width won't exceed five centimeters. Its whole body has brown spots, especially on the head, which is almost eroded into a deep brown color, making it look like some cartoon sheep with a black face.

  As soon as I got it, the left hand touched the jade sheep and immediately transmitted a scorching heat, the joy in my heart was even more intense, and I seemed to hear the sound of "baa baa baa" in my ear.

  What's even more incredible is that the sheep's bleating isn't just the same, but has a rhythmic rise and fall, as if expressing its own carefree and contented mood.

  Gently stroking with your fingers, apart from the scorching heat, you can also feel a warm and smooth sensation like ancient jade, and it's rich in oil, making people reluctant to put it down when holding it in their hands.

  Gu Mei didn't think much and immediately put it in the box, having already made up her mind that she would choose this jade sheep as her reward.

  Because Gu Miao and the other woman both picked quickly, in less than half an hour, everything on the carpet had been divided up.

  When it came down to the last one, Gu Mei discovered that all the remaining ones were fake, not a single one was missed. She couldn't help but look at the woman sitting opposite her with some surprise.

  The other party also seemed to know that there were no more genuine ones left, and they didn't have much enthusiasm for the remaining ones. After seeing Gu Mian's slow movements, the two of them tacitly divided the remaining items into two portions without putting them in the box, just piling them outside the box.

  The people standing nearby saw the situation but didn't say much, Yu Xiao took the lead and walked over, smiled at the eagle-nosed man, quickly closed the trunk, and called out to Qin Sheng and herself to lift the trunk together. Gu Can, without being told by others, put all the things piled outside the trunk into a hemp sack with the remaining man, and quickly followed behind Qin Sheng and Yu Xiao as they left the room.
