Qin Sheng's abrupt request made Gu Mei feel extremely surprised. Even if she and Professor Wang had doubts about the golden silk jade clothes of Shi Youcai in their hearts, the appraisal certificate had already been issued. If someone wanted to overturn the previous appraisal result, they should find a reputable person in the appraisal industry, not her, an unknown small figure.
So after listening to Qin Sheng's request, Gu Mei didn't immediately agree, but instead took Qin Sheng directly to a teahouse with a fairly good environment.
"Do you know what your words mean?" After sitting down, Gu Mian also didn't beat around the bush and asked directly.
Qin Sheng nodded and replied, "Of course I know."
"You still have the nerve to say that? I was also present at the scene of the Jinlun Yuyi appraisal, and it was only because of my association with Professor Wang that I had the opportunity to observe and learn. Now you're asking me to re-appraise it. But whether my result is true or false, do you think it will be convincing?" Gu Mian slightly furrowed her brow.
"Don't worry about this, whether it's persuasive or not is unimportant, what matters is your one sentence, your answer." Qin Sheng replied calmly.
Gu Mei was shocked and didn't expect Qin Sheng to say something like this.
"What do you mean?" Gu Mian looked at Qin Sheng with some uncertainty.
"I don't know if others believe it or not, but I do." Qin Sheng stared intently at Gu Mei and continued: "You should also know that Shi Youcai has been using the gold-embroidered jade clothes as an excuse to build relationships with people and discuss investment opportunities. Although the authenticity of the gold-embroidered jade clothes was exposed a few days ago, there are still many people who are interested in Shi Youcai."
"What does this have to do with you?" Gu Mian asked.
Qin Sheng paused for a moment before speaking: "I need to personally verify the authenticity of that golden embroidered jade garment."
Gu Mei looked at Qin Sheng for a moment. She was neither satisfied nor dissatisfied with his answer. Qin Sheng said he needed to confirm the authenticity of the Golden Thread and Jade Clothes, probably because someone related to him needed this answer, but since the other party didn't explain, she didn't bother to ask either.
It's just that for Qin Sheng, who is almost blindly trusted, Gu Mei always feels a bit absurd.
"You ask why I believe you so much, to know that the people who gave out the appraisal results are all old experts in this field. Moreover, this set of golden silk jade clothes is valued at least 1.6 billion, and you believe me so much, aren't you afraid of making a wrong decision?" Gu Mian couldn't help but ask.
"Originally, investment is a kind of risk. If you don't invest, you won't win or lose. But once you invest, winning or losing is no longer in your own hands. Rather than believing others, it's better to believe in myself." Qin Sheng looked at Gu Mian with a hint of a smile and continued: "To be precise, I'm not trusting you, I'm trusting my own judgment."
Gu Meng stared blankly at Qin Sheng, who suddenly revealed a few hints of arrogance, without knowing why. In her heart, she didn't feel that there was anything wrong with Qin Sheng's words, but instead vaguely felt that this was more like the real Qin Sheng. The previous Qin Sheng, who did everything in a gentle and harmonious manner, seemed somewhat unreal by comparison.
But Qin Sheng quickly returned to his usual self. So fast that Gu Mian almost doubted whether her own feelings were wrong.
Taking a deep breath, Gu Ming decided to stop entangling herself in this issue and turned to look at Qin Sheng, asking: "You should also know about Shi Youcai's golden silk jade clothes with authoritative appraisal certification. Why did he agree to let me, such a small role, appraise it?"
"As long as you agree to go for identification, I have a way to make him agree." Qin Sheng replied with full confidence.
Gu Mei's gaze fell on Qin Sheng once again. Silently speculating what method Qin Sheng would use to get Shi Youcai to agree.
"I think you're not unaware that antique appraisal also has its own rules. If I were to rashly jump out and re-appraise, if the result is the same, then it's fine, but what if... You know where I work now, don't you?" Gu Mei looked at Qin Sheng.
If she agrees to help Qin Sheng re-identify the Golden Thread Jade Robe, she will undoubtedly put herself in a precarious position and make people think that she is seeking fame and overestimating her own abilities.
So, sometimes having the ability but not the reputation can be embarrassing in this field of appraisal, especially when faced with the results of a famous appraiser. Even if you refute it, it will seem somewhat pale and powerless, and Gu Can, who has just started out, is in such an awkward state.
Unless she encounters something that can instantly boost her popularity, she has to take it one step at a time.
"I'm well aware of that. Don't worry, no one will spread the word that you've had the Golden Brocade Dress appraised." Qin Sheng said in a low voice.
Gu Xiang struggled a bit. She had always been thinking about the Jin Lu Yu Yi in her heart, wanting to take it in hand and feel it for herself, and now that the opportunity was right in front of her, she couldn't help but be tempted.
"What makes you think it won't get out?" Gu Mian asked again.
"Because someone will attract their attention." Qin Sheng paused for a moment and looked at Gu Mian, "Do you know Master Xue Qi?"
"Of course I know." Gu Mian nodded.
"When the time comes, Master Xue Qi will also be there. You just need to pretend to be his assistant and go up, and no one will notice you, this little assistant... And aren't you also curious about that golden silk jade robe?" Qin Sheng said with a meaningful smile.
Gu Mei's heart skipped a beat, but she quickly calmed down: "Isn't Old Xue abroad? How did he suddenly return, and there wasn't even any news about it beforehand. Also, how could you arrange for me to be Old Xue's assistant, would he agree to that?"
"Don't forget, Mr. Qiao is Old Xue's apprentice. Old Xue has always appreciated young people with talent and natural ability, he rarely takes action, this opportunity can be grasped or not, it depends on your own performance." Qin Sheng threw out a huge bait.
Gu Mei's eyes lit up when she heard this, and Qin Sheng's words seemed to be creating an opportunity for her.
After all, since Xue Lao had taken action, why would they still need Gu Mian, this small shrimp? Why did Qin Sheng insist on letting her participate as well? Apart from what he said about believing in her, could it be that he actually believed more in himself? Or was there another meaning behind it?
But thinking again, Gu Mei felt that it didn't quite add up. She and Qin Sheng were just ordinary friends, not close relatives or anything like that, so why would he go to such great lengths to create opportunities for her?
"This thing won't harm you in any way, just go and identify it, then tell me your answer." Qin Sheng said, seeing that Gu Mian hadn't responded for a long time, he spoke again.
After a fierce battle between heaven and man, Gu Mei finally decided to personally identify the golden thread jade clothes and get close to Xue Lao, nodding in agreement with Qin Sheng.
Xue Lao is a legendary figure in the world of appraisal, with many rumors surrounding his life. Although he is called Xue Lao, he is not very old, and this is just a term of respect that everyone uses for him. He has been an idol in Gu Ming's heart since he decided to learn about appraisal.
Unfortunately, Mr. Xue has been less and less visible in public in recent years, does not like too much media attention, and because of his international reputation, he often goes abroad, so Gu Mei has not seen Mr. Xue until now.
At first, she heard that Mr. Qiao was Master Xue's apprentice, and that was truly enviable in her heart.
Mr. Qiao's relationship with Xue Lao is different from that of Gu Xiang and Professor Wang.
Professor Wang, as a teacher at the school, has taught countless students, but he doesn't have any dedicated disciples. Firstly, he feels that he still needs to learn more himself, and secondly, he is devoted to his work and doesn't have so much energy to spare.
What can be called a master-apprentice relationship is a very serious kind, which requires a formal ceremony of apprenticeship, rather than just following along.
Ever since she agreed to Qin Sheng's request, Gu Mei had a feeling of being absent-minded, often starting to lose focus halfway through doing something, and then coming back to herself after a while before continuing with her work.
She didn't know if Professor Wang had heard about Mr. Xue's plan to re-authenticate the Golden Thread Jade Robe, after all, there was still no news outside, but Professor Wang's mood had improved a lot in the past two days.
Under this nervous mood, Gu Mei counted the days every day. She was waiting for Qin Sheng's news and waiting for the day when she could touch the golden silk clothes and see Old Master Xue.
She didn't wait for that day to come, but instead waited for Du Hao to arrive.
She had just finished work and was about to take the bus home when Du Hao pulled up beside her in his car.
"Mingming, can you give me some time? I want to ask you something." Du Hao got off the car and blocked Gu Ming.
"I don't have time."
At the exhibition, she didn't want to be laughed at, so she let Du Hao say a lot of things. Now that there are not many people around, she doesn't even bother with superficial courtesy.
"Don't worry, I'm not here to bother you this time. I want to ask you about the Jinlu Yu Yi that Shi Youcai wore. Was it appraised here?" Du Hao looked at Gu Mian with a serious expression.
Gu Meng raised her eyes and looked at Du Hao: "It was appraised here, the appraisal certificate has been issued, what else do you want to ask?"
"I'd like to ask you, is that suit of golden armor real?" Du Hao asked.
"Don't you believe in appraisal certificates?" Gu Ming raised an eyebrow.
Du Hao sneered: "Ming Ming, don't tell me you don't know, a certificate of appraisal can have many tricks up its sleeve. Nobody dares to be certain whether Shi Youcai has tampered with it or not. Otherwise, it wouldn't have taken so long. Even the auction house doesn't dare to believe in any appraisal certificates. Who knows how many things have appraisal certificates but are later found out to be fake?"
