Chapter 269: Chapter 269: Shocking Everyone (Request for Monthly Pass) Chapter 269: Chapter 269: Shocking Everyone (Request for Monthly Pass) Zhao Zhengqing dismissed Chu Chen’s words and asked about inviting Elder Pei.
“Why don’t you invite the craftsman who made the plain-band teapot, that ceramic master who has been dead for hundreds of years?”
After Zhao Zhengqing’s earlier actions, most of those present didn’t believe Chu Chen could invite Elder Pei.
They all heard it just now; even Elder Pei’s own grandson couldn’t get Elder Pei to co.
“Brother Chu, I’m counting on you.”
On the scene, only Luo Yongning spoke up, believing in Chu Chen.
If he had just t Chu Chen, Luo Yongning would also have doubts. But over ti, he had learned so terrifying identities of Chu Chen.
Naturally, Luo Yongning trusted Chu Chen.
“Brother Luo, you’re being too polite.”
Luo Yongning had helped him a lot before; now it was just a phone call, and Chu Chen was committed.
“Hmph.”
“Suit yourself.”
Han Teng snorted coldly. Zhao Zhengqing had just wasted his emotions and ti.
This made Han Teng very impatient with these younger generations.
Young people who just want to show off are too unreliable.
Now, with Chu Chen, soone even younger than Zhao Zhengqing, erging, Han Teng cared even less.
Chu Chen took out his phone and dialed the general manager of Sheng Tang Auction House.
After briefly explaining the situation to the general manager, Chu Chen asked him to invite Elder Pei.
“Okay, boss.”
After hanging up, the general manager personally contacted Elder Pei.
In the end, Elder Pei asked for the address and confird he would co.
Seeing Chu Chen hang up the phone, Zhao Zhengqing asked.
“So, what happened?”
“Where is the Elder Pei you invited?”
“In twenty minutes, Elder Pei will arrive.”
Chu Chen had just received the ssage from the general manager of Sheng Tang Auction House, informing him that Elder Pei had agreed to co.
“Hmph, you’re full of it.”
“Twenty minutes? I think it will take two hundred minutes or two thousand minutes, and it would still be a stretch for Elder Pei to co.”
“Let’s wait and see.”
Zhao Zhengqing and Chu Chen were at odds.
“Hope you’re not playing .”
Han Teng also spoke, his voice icy. It wasn’t hard to guess that if Chu Chen’s result was like Zhao Zhengqing’s earlier, Han Teng might do sothing unfortunate.
Having gone through what happened earlier, stepping out to steal the spotlight now ca at a certain price.
It hadn’t even been twenty minutes when several footsteps were heard.
An elderly man with a full head of silver hair, dressed in a Tang suit, was slowly walking over with his disciple.
“Mr. Chu, I’m here. Where is the treasure?”
The silver-haired elder excitedly asked.
Hearing the voice, everyone turned to look.
“Elder Pei?”
“Elder Pei really ca?”
Seeing the silver-haired elder, the big shots of Hang City stood up one by one.
Glancing at Elder Pei, then at Chu Chen, these Hang City bigwigs were bewildered.
Elder Pei arrived so quickly?
Wasn’t he just boasting?
My God!
Who exactly was Mr. Chu?!
His connections were so terrifying!
Han Teng was equally shocked and excited.
He brought Elder Pei here, and Elder Pei truly ca.
Could this be real?!
That kid, no, Mr. Chu, had such strong connections?!
Beside him, Zhao Zhengqing was even more dumbfounded.
He didn’t know Elder Pei, but upon hearing the words of these bigwigs, he realized that the silver-haired elder was indeed Elder Pei.
Even his own grandson couldn’t move Elder Pei.
And now he ca voluntarily.
What kind of terrifying identity did this “Uncle Chu” have?!
Suddenly, Zhao Zhengqing was restless.
“Elder Pei.”
“Hello, Elder Pei.”
The bigwigs stepped out to greet Elder Pei.
However, Elder Pei didn’t pay them any attention but instead asked,
“Where is Mr. Chu?”
“Elder Pei has arrived. I’ll take you to see the treasure.”
Although he was the president of Sheng Tang Auction House and Elder Pei was technically an “employee,” he was still a doyen-level expert, notoriously temperantal.
Chu Chen wasn’t sure if Elder Pei would co, so he instructed the general manager to tell Elder Pei he had two exceptionally precious treasures here.
As expected, it worked, and Elder Pei quickly arrived.
“Elder Pei, I have two legendary plain-band teapots here. I don’t know which one is real.”
“Plain-band teapot?”
Elder Pei also showed interest.
This was one of the most famous purple clay teapots, one of the ten famous teapots, the work of a master ceramic artist.
Han Teng and Luo Yongning carefully handed over their plain-band teapots.
Of course, Han Teng also brought along his certificate from the Poly Auction.
After carefully examining it and looking at Han Teng’s certificate, Elder Pei made a judgnt:
“This certificate is real.”
Hearing this, Han Teng perked up and gave Luo Yongning a mocking smile.
His plain-band teapot was genuine.
“But, while the certificate is real, the plain-band teapot is a high-grade imitation.”
“The real plain-band teapot is this one.”
Pointing to Luo Yongning’s plain-band teapot, Elder Pei revealed the truth.
“What?”
Han Teng was furious and suddenly realized.
He finally understood why, when he bought this teapot, the seller kept focusing on the certificate rather than the teapot itself.
The seller must have accidentally obtained the real certificate, thus making a fake teapot to match it.
“Damn it.”
Han Teng’s face turned pale as he cursed.
“Thank you, Elder Pei.”
Knowing his plain-band teapot was real, Luo Yongning sighed in relief.
After admiring the plain-band teapot for a while, Elder Pei looked at Chu Chen excitedly.
Given how precious the first treasure was, the second must be even more so.
Understanding Elder Pei’s intent, Chu Chen took off the jade thumb ring he was wearing.
Seeing this, everyone showed subtle changes in their expressions; using a plain ring to fool Elder Pei didn’t seem right.
Only Elder Pei had an unusually serious expression:
“This…”
Accepting the jade thumb ring, Elder Pei was thrilled.
After closely observing it for a mont, Elder Pei couldn’t help but agree:
“It is perfect. Whether it’s the texture or craftsmanship, I dare say there isn’t a more precious treasure than this thumb ring in the country.”
“And it’s imperial-grade, making its value even more astonishing, with a minimum worth of 150 million.”
As a doyen-level expert, Elder Pei expressed his thoughts.
150 million?!
A treasure worth over a hundred million, and you wear it so casually on your hand.
Looking at Chu Chen now, everyone beca incredibly serious, intimidated by Chu Chen’s fearful wealth and intimidating connections.
Even Han Teng looked at Chu Chen with newfound respect.
Even he wouldn’t have casually worn sothing worth over a hundred million.
“Mr. Chu, I was wrong earlier; I lacked discernnt. Please forgive .”
Han Teng apologized to Chu Chen.
…
anwhile, after talking with Huang Hongxin from the elite Huang family in Shanghai for a long ti, finally reaching an agreent.
Zhao Zhengqing’s father, Zhao Fu, headed towards Luo Yongning’s residence.
It turned out that Huang Hongxin planned to crush Chu Chen’s company and had contacted the bigwig from Hang City, Zhao Fu, to help!
Zhao Fu hadn’t been ill. He was eting with Huang Hongxin, so he sent Zhao Zhengqing.
Now, having finished the discussion and worried about Zhao Zhengqing, Zhao Fu hurriedly made his way to Luo Yongning’s place.
In no ti, Zhao Fu arrived.
