Chapter 389: What did you say? Say it again!

~8 min read 1,461 words

How could this pretty boy have such good luck?

At this time, the high-level executives led by Du Zhongyan were regretting it so much that their intestines were turning green. They regretted being too confident and betting with Xu Tian at the beginning. Now, asking them to put down their pride and apologize to Xu Tian and admit their incompetence was simply a great humiliation to them.

But at the beginning, they all felt that Xu Tian didn't understand anything. If it weren't for the help of experts like Jiang Yan, he would never have been able to make the deal and bring the antiques back to the country. Who could have thought that he really hit the nail on the head and found a pottery jar more precious than Song Dynasty porcelain.

Not to mention that Chen Sanping's set of porcelain was originally an imitation by Qing Dynasty craftsmen, even if it were a genuine Song Dynasty official kiln, its value would not be comparable to this Western Zhou Dynasty pottery jar.

The people meeting in the Tang Group conference room had awkward expressions, caught in a dilemma.

They were usually prominent figures within the group. Now, if they reneged on their word in front of everyone on the other side of the video, wouldn't that be losing face abroad?

"Why? Do you want to go back on your word now?" Xu Tian knew very well what these people were thinking, so he deliberately said: "If you want to go back on your word now, it's not impossible, but everyone here is a high-level executive of the group. If you go back on your word today, will your decisions still be convincing in the future?"

"Xu Tian, don't go too far!" Du Zhongyan roared at Xu Tian angrily.

Xu Tian shrugged indifferently: "Manager Du, you can't say it like that. After all, I didn't force you to apologize, did I?"

"What's going on with the Tang family high-level executives? They were shouting so loudly just now, but now that they've lost, they won't admit it?"

"Exactly, they were so arrogant when they were betting with Mr. Xu before, unlike now, dragging their feet!"

"They can actually renege on their word? I thought high-level executives of groups like them were all as good as their word!"

The passersby who watched the whole process in the Exquisite Shop naturally also knew about the bet between Xu Tian and the Tang Group high-level executives. At this moment, seeing Du Zhongyan and others reneging on their word, they began to whisper.

Du Zhongyan, Tang Jihuai, and others had livid expressions, and in the end, they had no choice but to speak unwillingly: "Xu Tian, I'm sorry!"

"But don't get too complacent, kid. Even if you found the Western Zhou pottery jar now, if you can't bring it back to Huaxia safely, everything you've done now will be meaningless!" After apologizing, Tang Jihuai also threatened Xu Tian viciously.

"There's no need for the Sixth Elder to worry about that. I will definitely bring this pottery jar back to the country intact and put it in the museum."

As soon as Xu Tian finished speaking, Tang Jihuai cut off the video call, having the meaning of fleeing in defeat.

The atmosphere in the Tang Group's high-level conference room was heavy for a while. No one expected that Xu Tian would actually successfully complete the mission.

This caused the hope of those who were waiting to make an issue of it and kick him out of the group to fall through, and even caused the entire high-level team to be slapped in the face in front of outsiders, losing both face and substance.

They originally thought Xu Tian would definitely not be able to complete the mission this time, who knew he would actually find Western Zhou pottery.

"How is his luck so good? This isn't buying vegetables at the market, where you can pick out the right one so easily..."

"But then again, if it weren't for Xu Tian's stubbornness this time, we would have bought that set of fakes from Chen Sanping. Even if it's a fake imitated by Qing Dynasty craftsmen, it's not enough to serve as a treasure of the museum!"

A certain high-level executive suddenly began to feel lingering fear.

"If we really bought that set of fakes, we would also lose face in front of the high-level officials of the Ministry of Culture, and if we couldn't find the treasure of the museum on time, we wouldn't be able to explain it to the people above, and it would even affect the cooperation in the second half of the year."

After listening to this high-level executive's words, the others realized that if it weren't for Xu Tian's unreasonable trouble, they would have really suffered heavy losses this time.

"But how did this kid know that the set of Song Dynasty blue and white porcelain that Manager Gu finalized had problems? Even if it's a coincidence, his luck is too good!"

At the same time, the Tang family villa in Jiangcheng, Huaxia.

Zhang Zizhen had just given Tang Bingyan a full-body checkup.

"Miss Tang, your body has recovered well during this period of time. If you continue to maintain good and regular work and rest habits and don't overwork, your physical condition has a chance to improve."

"Thank you, Doctor Zhang."

"Miss Tang, you are welcome. Then I will go back first today. If you have any situation here, you can contact me at any time."

After Zhang Zizhen finished speaking, he put the examination instruments and acupuncture tools into the medical kit and got up to say goodbye.

After Zhang Zizhen left, A Wei, who had a worried look on his face, hurriedly said to Tang Bingyan: "Eldest Young Lady, do you really not intend to intervene in Mr. Xu's mission this time?"

"I just received a call from the group's high-level executives saying that Mr. Xu bet with Tang Jihuai and a group of high-level executives because of that set of Song Dynasty porcelain. If he really can't find an antique more valuable than this set of porcelain, he will have to resign and will never be able to intervene in the group's internal work in the future. What if Mr. Xu loses, what should we do?"

A Wei had been very anxious since he got the news, but Tang Bingyan was undergoing Zhang Zizhen's checkup just now, so it was not easy for him to come up and disturb her.

Now he finally found an opportunity to report this matter to Tang Bingyan, but he saw that his Eldest Young Lady didn't look anxious at all after hearing it.

Although Tang Bingyan had always been calm, this concerned Xu Tian's future status in the Tang Group. She was a bit too calm.

"Have you prepared the things I asked you to prepare?" Tang Bingyan asked faintly.

A Wei's mind was full of how to help Xu Tian resolve this crisis. He was stunned when he heard Tang Bingyan's question, and it took a long while before he realized what she was asking.

"The melons air-freighted from the Western Alliance should already be on the plane."

A Wei scratched his head and muttered silently in his heart: Eldest Young Lady, now is not the time to care about melons. If Mr. Xu fails his mission in Pawa, he will be kicked out of the company. How can you still have the heart to consider the specialties of the Western Alliance?

And just when A Wei wanted to remind Tang Bingyan again that the bet Xu Tian made with the group's high-level executives was to leave the company, a call suddenly came from the Tang Group.

A Wei listened to the high-level executive at the company finish the cause and effect of the matter and almost thought he had auditory hallucinations.

"What did you say? Say it again!"

The other party told A Wei the cause and effect of the matter again.

And A Wei realized that the direction of the matter was completely different from what he had expected before.

"Eldest Young Lady, Mr. Xu over there..."

A Wei was shocked and was about to explain to Tang Bingyan, but found that Tang Bingyan was still in that calm state.

"He found a Western Zhou pottery jar more precious than Song Dynasty porcelain, and in the end, experts proved that the set of Song Dynasty porcelain was simply imitated by Qing Dynasty craftsmen using Song Dynasty official kiln inscriptions and had no high value..."

"Mr. Xu won this bet, forcing Tang Jihuai and Du Zhongyan to apologize to Mr. Xu and admit that they were blind..." ===== CHAPTER 390 =====
