Chapter 693: My Lady, I Was Wrong!

~7 min read 1,338 words

"This kind of thing, the workmanship is rough, I can tell with one look."

Fortunately, he had crammed relevant knowledge when he represented the Tang family to buy antiques in the Y Country, otherwise, he might have really been exposed today.

After all, no one would think that a subordinate would really send fake goods.

"Brother Yi, you're so amazing!" Zhong Yu made a star-eyed gesture, holding her heart. "Can you tell me about it?"

"Huaxia pottery, the craftsmanship was already very mature in the Qin Dynasty. Although the era is very long ago, it wouldn't be rough to this extent. This one is clearly a modern imitation at a glance, and the aesthetics are all modern. The most critical point is the decoration on the edge of the pottery jar... This decoration is indeed from the Qin Dynasty, but this kind of decoration can only be used by nobles, yet this pottery jar is a common water storage jar for ordinary farmers. So, do you understand why I said it's a fake?"

Zhong Yu nodded as if she understood: "The meaning is roughly that we found the clothes of ancient farmers, but there is a dragon embroidered on these clothes?"

"Smart." Xu Tian praised and touched Zhong Yu's head. "So it's fake at a glance. That Elder Li couldn't even see such an obvious flaw. It's either that he has a superficial knowledge of antiques or he has dissatisfaction with me."

"Elder Li is still quite good; I feel he doesn't seem to be deliberately going against you." Zhong Yu touched her chin. "He usually likes to collect jade; maybe he doesn't understand pottery."

"Since he sent the gift, I should also show something." Xu Tian said to Zhong Yu. "Wait a moment, accompany me to the two-dollar shop to buy a jade plaque to send to him."

"Pfft..." Zhong Yu couldn't help but laugh out loud. "Brother Yi, this vengeful personality of yours hasn't converged at all."

Elder Li always claimed to be an old expert. Knowing it was a worthless plaque, just because it was sent by Brother Yi, he still had to respectfully accept it and offer it in his collection room full of treasures. He's afraid he'll be furious.

"Do you have anything else? If not, I'm going to continue approving documents." Xu Tian didn't like having people staring at him like supervisors when he was working.

"Brother Yi, there's one more thing." Zhong Ling's sharp gaze landed on Xu Tian, as if she wanted to see through him.

"Speak quickly." Xu Tian said impatiently.

"There's a problem with Teacher Guo." Zhong Ling asked tentatively. "Brother Yi, you shouldn't have forgotten Teacher Guo, right?"

"Zhong Ling, if you talk to me with this attitude again, get out."

Xu Tian was really impatient this time. Testing and testing again, this suspicious woman wouldn't stop until she found his flaws, right!

"You..."

Zhong Ling didn't expect Xu Tian to suddenly get angry and was stunned for a moment.

"What about you?" Zhong Yu pushed the young girl beside her away with great disgust. "Didn't you see Brother Yi is annoyed by these documents? Still playing mystery, if you don't get scolded, who will?"

"Brother Yi, let me tell you, Teacher Guo... that is, the pottery made by Guo Sanping, isn't it very popular?"

"And then?" Xu Tian didn't pay attention to Zhong Ling anymore.

"As a well-known pottery master on Wuji Island, his works are the easiest to buy in the collection circle. Previously, when he held exhibitions and sold works, he entrusted them to our Azure Wolf Hall to be responsible, and we also earned a lot because of this. But last year, Guo Sanping suddenly gave the authorization of his works to others. After so many years of cooperation, he cut it off unilaterally just like that, without even saying hello. This is too rule-breaking."

"That old thing has a terrible temper, only you can suppress him. Why don't you give him a call?" Zhong Ling said with some schadenfreude. "If that old thing knew you were back, Brother Yi, he would definitely be scared to pee his pants!"

"Brother Yi, give him a call." Before Xu Tian could express his stance, Zhong Ling beside him took out her phone and dialed Guo Sanping's number without a word.

"Can't you understand my words?" Xu Tian glanced lightly at the young girl who acted on her own, his tone dignified without anger. "What I do, it's not your turn to intervene."

"Brother Yi, this concerns the profit of the Azure Wolf Hall Business Department in the second half of the year. It's an emergency, so I have to let you handle it immediately." Facing Xu Tian's accusation, Zhong Ling was neither humble nor arrogant.

Xu Tian sneered.

If it were really an emergency, she wouldn't have to wait for him to return; Zhong Ling would have handled it.

This Guo Sanping terminated the cooperation with the Azure Wolf Hall last year, and dragging it until now to handle it, she actually had the face to tell him it was an emergency.

Although Xu Tian was very unhappy with Zhong Ling's repeated tests, he had no choice but to be careful and cautious.

As long as Zhong Ling couldn't find obvious flaws, even if she had doubts, she couldn't do anything to him.

The call was quickly connected, and an impatient old voice came from inside.

"Zhong Ling, it's useless for you to call me. I decided long ago not to cooperate with the Azure Wolf Hall. From now on, my works have nothing to do with you. If you continue to pester me..."

"Old man Guo, haven't seen you for a few years, it seems your temper has grown." Xu Tian took the phone and spoke gloomily.

"Who are you?" Guo Sanping was slightly stunned.

"You can't even recognize my voice?" Xu Tian sneered. "It seems your life has been too comfortable these years. Do you need me to say hello to my subordinates and let them visit your studio more often?"

"You... you are..." Guo Sanping exclaimed. "Wolf King Ding Yi?"

Damn, this Wolf King is actually called "Ding Yi." When his parents named him, it was too sloppy.

"So you still remember me. I thought you had long forgotten about this old friend of yours." Xu Tian's tone carried a hint of mockery, which the person on the other end of the phone naturally could hear.

"Wolf... Wolf King..." Guo Sanping was a bit flustered. "Why are you back? You should be dead already... No... I didn't mean that, I..."

"So you were hoping I would die." Xu Tian chuckled, but the rising tail tone carried a very strong sense of oppression.

"No, no, no, you misunderstood. How could I hope you would die? I've been waiting for you to come back. You are my Bole..." Guo Sanping's voice trembled.

"I wouldn't dare to be your Bole. After all, you, Guo Sanping, have grown wings now, wanting to cooperate with whoever you want..."

"My Lady, I was wrong! I know I was wrong!" The person on the other end of the phone was almost scared to tears. "It was my obsession before. I'll send the batch of porcelain that just came out of the kiln to your subordinates right now!"

Xu Tian didn't talk nonsense after hearing this and hung up the phone directly, handing it back to Zhong Ling.

The surprise in Zhong Ling's eyes was even more obvious. When this person talked to Guo Sanping, he really had some of Brother Yi's demeanor.

"Brother Yi personally took action, there's nothing he can't handle." Zhong Yu giggled and leaned to Xu Tian's side, sitting directly on the armrest of the boss's chair. "Old man Guo has indeed been too arrogant these years. Relying on the support of other forces behind him, he didn't take our Azure Wolf Hall seriously. Now it's time to give him a lesson." ===== CHAPTER 694 =====
