wife's secret

Chapter 18 What is he worried about

Huang Yijia's question is very strange, I want to guess what she is thinking through her eyes.

After I attended the class reunion yesterday, when I went home and told her about Yan Hao’s invitation to join the Sunflower Auction House, she firmly opposed it on the grounds that Yan Hao was too stingy.Now that I see you, I ask this and that again.

Just ask, take an apple to care about me, and pretend to ask unintentionally, it's a bit strange.

"That's right." Huang Yijia seemed relieved and didn't ask any more questions.

At eight o'clock the next day, I arrived at the Sunflower Auction House.Since Yan Hao said attendance is very strict, I can't be late.Walking into the warehouse, when I was about to appraise the things Yan Hao had collected, Zhao Yushan hurried over to me, "Brother Chen, Mr. Yan asked you to go to his office."

I followed Zhao Yushan to the general manager's office, only to see Yan Hao half lying on the sandalwood desk, staring at something without blinking.

It's like looking at a painting.

I took a closer look, and it turned out to be the same "Taoyuan Fairyland Picture."

Seeing Zhao Yushan bring me over, Yan Hao carefully put away the painting and handed it to me, "Chen Yang, take it to the warehouse. I'll find some experts at the Forbidden City level to take a look later."

On the way I took the painting back to the warehouse, I felt bad.I originally thought that Yan Hao asked me to appraise the map of Taoyuan Wonderland, but the other party only asked me to bring it back, and asked another expert to take a look at it.Am I not an expert?Why look for another?

You obviously don't trust me.

It can be judged that Yan Hao doesn't know my level of appraising antiques.It's no wonder he doesn't understand, in fact, even Zhao Yushan lacks a deep understanding of my professional level.During my graduation internship, I was fortunate enough to receive guidance from an expert, and the level of antique appraisal has made a qualitative leap.It is an exaggeration to say that apart from a few old antiques in the Forbidden City that have been soaked in antiques for decades, it is difficult to find one in the world today that surpasses me.

However, an expert once warned me sternly that misfortune comes from the mouth, and I only speak three minutes when I see people, and I will not speak unless I can.Therefore, my ability to identify antiques is to use an allegorical saying to tell the dumb to eat dumplings-I know it well.

It's not surprising that Yan Hao doesn't understand my level, but the strange thing is, since he doesn't understand, why did he try his best to invite me to join his auction house and let me keep an eye on him in the background?

After putting away the painting, I called Meng Xue to ask what was going on.

After the call was connected, the other party did not answer immediately. I heard the other end of the phone was very noisy and hurried.As soon as I heard it, I knew that the ant moving company had a big job and was working.After about ten seconds, Meng Xue's voice came over, "Hello, is this Chen Yang? What do you want me to do?"

"Manager Meng, do you still remember the picture of Taoyuan Wonderland?" I cut straight to the point.

"A picture of Taoyuan trapped in a fairyland?" Meng Xue was slightly taken aback.

"Is that the ancient painting you saw at Xia Mingguang's house a few days ago?"

"Oh, so you were talking about the painting hanging on the wall in the living room." Meng Xue seemed to suddenly realize, and her tone changed, "What's wrong?"

"I saw it at the Sunflower Auction House. I'm a little surprised, it was still in Xia Mingguang's hands a few days ago, so why did it end up at the Sunflower Auction House?"

"Well, you should ask the owner of the auction house. Chen Yang, do you have anything else to do? It's okay. I'll hang up first. I'm busy here."

Hang up the phone, I am a little disappointed.

I originally thought that Meng Xue should know a thing or two about the Taoyuan Fairyland map appearing in Yan Hao's hands, but she didn't know anything about it.I have analyzed before that my junior sister, Meng Xue, is doing the moving business on the surface, but in fact, she is hunting for treasures among the people under the guise of moving.She was very interested in the painting of Taoyuan Wonderland, and she once asked me how that painting was.I suspect she has managed to get that painting into her hands.

Unexpectedly, she said she knew nothing on the phone.

I began to identify the things in the warehouse.After some careful inspection, I found that most of the things in the warehouse were fine and genuine.Of course, although things are real, they are not extremely precious, and the best things are at most classified as national third-class cultural relics.

All of these things are unlabeled, dated and sourced.Obviously, it was not sent by others to consign the auction.

There is no doubt that all kinds of things in the warehouse were collected by Yan Hao.Generally, when an auction house is opened, others bring things to the door for auction, but Yan Hao's auction house has an additional business of collecting antiques.

At around eleven o'clock, my cell phone rang. When I checked the number, I was not familiar with it. When I got connected, I was surprised and pleasantly surprised that it was Tunzi.

"Dunzi, where are you?" Before Dunzi could speak, I asked anxiously.When I went home to pick up my son, I heard from my father that Dunzi had gone on a long journey. When he left, he was very angry. I suspected that he had brought the high imitation Ru kiln sky blue glazed bowl back to the south to settle accounts with the seller. I was worried that he would suffer, so my heart was always hanging.

"Brother, I'm right next to the auction house you opened before. Can you come over?"

"Hejude Auction House?"

"Yes, it used to be called this. However, it has now become the sales office of Ninghua Real Estate Company. My friend just saw it and said that the location is very good in Fengshui. No matter what you do, you can make a fortune here. Yours Why did the auction house collapse, my friend doesn't understand."

What Dunzi said made me confused.However, there is no doubt that Dunzi already knew about the accident in the auction house I ran before. "Dunzi, didn't you go away? When did you come back?"

"It's not convenient on the phone, let's talk about it when we meet."

I asked Yan Hao for leave, but Yan Hao was not there, so I went to Zhao Yushan.I told Zhao Yushan that I had something to go out.Zhao Yushan asked me seriously why I was there, and I said that a friend came looking for me, and I would come back as soon as I went.

I originally thought that Zhao Yushan would readily agree, but the other party asked me where I was going, how long it would take, and when I would be back.

I'm a little surprised, when did Zhao Yushan become such a mother-in-law? He wasn't like this before, but his personality changed after he arrived at the Sunflower Auction House?Yan Hao just asked him to be in charge of attendance, so seriously?

Of course, I didn't think much of it.I didn't tell the truth, I lied seriously, and I said: "On the day of the class reunion, I threw the car keys of the Xiali car in the room. Just now Xu Yanyan called to say that she picked up the car keys and asked Is it mine, I said yes, and she told me a place to get it."

"Xu Yanyan?" Zhao Yushan's expression tightened, but he immediately said in a relaxed tone, "Just to deliver the car keys? You don't have to go, just let her deliver them."

I was immediately upset.I originally found an excuse to go out, but when the other party heard about Xu Yanyan, they objected to my going out.Dunzi is still waiting for me over there, I have to go.

"I'd better go. Xu Yanyan probably doesn't know the location of the Sunflower Auction House."

"No, she knows... Oh, she can use the navigation to navigate here. The Sunflower Auction House is easy to find on the map."

Zhao Yushan hesitated for a while and then changed his words. This detail did not escape my attention.But, I don't have time to think about it now, I don't want to keep Dunzi waiting for a long time, I just want to find an excuse to leave quickly.

"Besides delivering the keys, Xu Yanyan said that she has other things to ask me for. So, I'd better go find her."

"Is there something else for you?" Zhao Yushan's eyes flashed a hint of alertness, but his demeanor immediately returned to normal, and he said in a seemingly relaxed tone, "If that's the case, then you can go."

Walking out of the Sunflower Auction House, I took a taxi to the old place of the Hejude Auction House.Along the way, I was thinking about the conversation I had with Zhao Yushan just now, and the more I thought about it, the more problematic I felt.

When Zhao Yushan saw me sitting alone with Xu Yanyan in the lobby of the hotel on the day of the class reunion, he joked that I was careful not to get in and out, but today I casually said that Xu Yanyan was looking for me, and he acted wrong again.This is strange.

Zhao Yushan didn't seem to want me to be with Xu Yanyan.

Am I being overwhelmed?
may be.

When I was thinking about it, the taxi arrived at the original address of Hejude Auction House.After getting off the car, I immediately saw Dunzi talking to a strange man.

"Dunzi!"

Hearing my shout, Dunzi raised his head, and when he saw me, he quickly walked towards me, and the first thing he said was, "Brother, why are you hiding the accident at your auction house from me?"
