It wasn't an exaggeration to say that Bai Xiaoye was astonished by Xu Yun's indifference. This man isn't simple. Bai Xiaoye frowned slightly. When she saw Xu Yun in the Pan Garden this morning, she felt that he was quite frivolous. His personality changed a bit too quickly. "Mr. Xu, have you heard of hypocrites?"
"What do you mean?" Xu Yun was startled. Bai Xiaoye's words were a bit strange. As they walked deeper into the Blue Seal Club, they chatted intermittently.
"Hypocrites are people who appear to be upright and noble, but are actually despicable and shameless. Mister Jin Yong created a person called Yue Buqun, who is a typical hypocrite. His words and actions are all decent and generous, and he always gives in. It's admirable. Who would have thought that such a perfect person is actually the most evil and greedy person? "Bai Xiaoye said.
Xu Yun naturally sensed her insinuations. "So you're saying that I'm that kind of person?"
"No, no, no. I didn't mean that. I'm just saying that Mr. Xu's words and actions are decent and generous. It's admirable. " Bai Xiaoye said, "It's easy to recognize a true villain. They hide a knife behind a smile and are always smiling. A hypocrite throws a brick to attract jade. Simply put, if you give him a brick, he will give you a piece of jade. If you give him a piece of jade, he will give you a brick. In essence, it's not in line with the etiquette of returning a favor. Hypocrites are used to praising others and using praises to numb others. They then benefit from it. If they don't benefit from it, they're even more dangerous than a villain. "
"Miss Bai, I'm afraid you're overthinking." Xu Yun shook his head helplessly. In the end, he was misunderstood as a villain. It wasn't that Xu Yun didn't want to get close to women, but he knew when to be vigilant and when to be aware of the dangers of lust. If he had fallen for the other party's group of beauties today, who knew what would happen next?
Ma San-er realized that something was amiss. He was just appreciating the jade dress. Was there a need to go through so much trouble?
Bai Xiaoye didn't say anything else. She walked to the end of the corridor and opened a secret door. Xu Yun and Ma San-er were immediately brought into another world. This was definitely a place that every collector would dream of obtaining. Ever since Xu Yun walked into this room, he was shocked. The calligraphy and paintings hung on the wall, and the collection placed on the platform were dazzling!
Ma San-er's eyes almost popped out of their sockets. There was even Wang Xizhi's rumored missing cursive script, which was worth hundreds of millions of yuan! Ma San-er didn't just rely on his nose in this line of work. His eyes were also very good. Whether it was authentic or not, he could still be sure after careful inspection.
"Oh my god …" Ma San-er couldn't help but sigh. "Even the treasures in the Qin Emperor's underground palace aren't as valuable as the treasures in this place."
Bai Xiaoye clapped her hands lightly. It was unknown what mechanism she had triggered, but the jade dress rose from the ground. It was still inside the absolutely sealed bulletproof glass.
"Ma San-er, since we're already here, I won't hide it from you," Bai Xiaoye said. "I invited you here for another purpose."
Ma San 'er waved his hand and said, "I know. Didn't you ask me to come here so that I can confirm whether this Jade Jade Dress is real or not? I'm not a fool. My nose and Doggy Liu's remaining hand are the most reliable things in this business to distinguish authenticity. You must have investigated this matter. "
"That's right. We did investigate it." Bai Xiaoye smiled. "Otherwise, we wouldn't have invited you here."
As she spoke, Bai Xiaoye pressed some mechanism, and the bulletproof glass covering the jade dress directly opened. This priceless national treasure was instantly exposed to the air.
"Ever since this thing came into our hands, we've been keeping it in this completely sealed space. I believe only you can smell things that ordinary people can't. "Bai Xiaoye made an inviting gesture.
Of course, Ma San-er didn't need to lie down and sniff like a dog. The moment the glass cover opened, Ma San-er already felt that this thing was extraordinary. This was something that he could only feel but not describe, so he couldn't describe it.
Ma San-er stood in front of the jade dress and carefully inspected every piece of jade and every strand of gold! This treasure even had a damp smell that came from being unearthed not long ago. The special smell that only ancient corpses had two years ago was also faintly discernible.
This smell was really hard for ordinary people to detect. Even dogs and wolves with sharp noses would have a hard time detecting it. Think about it, what kind of people could afford to wear the jade dress when they were buried? They must have done a lot to prevent the smell of rotting corpses. Therefore, being able to distinguish this smell was Ma San-er's unique skill.
"Mr. Ma San-er, this jade dress …" For the first time, Bai Xiaoye added the word "Mr." behind Ma San-er's name.
Ma San-er smiled. "You must have asked Liu Gousheng to appraise this thing, right? Why are you still looking for me?"
Bai Xiaoye frowned. South Gousheng and North Masan were the two most authoritative people in this field. Although they didn't have the halo of professors and experts, those professors and experts were worthless compared to them.
"How can you be sure that we asked Liu Gousheng to appraise it?" Bai Xiaoye asked doubtfully.
Ma San-er chuckled. "Because I smelled Liu Gousheng's scent."
The shock on Bai Xiaoye's face was no less than that of Columbus discovering the New World. This Ma San-er is too amazing! They did ask Liu Gousheng to appraise it a week ago.
"Liu Gousheng must have said that this is authentic. You just need to get my confirmation. " Ma San-er said, "You don't want to do business at all. You said that you could give me 300 million in commission if I sold it for 3 billion. You just want to see if I, Ma San-er, will do something, right? I, Ma San-er, never appraise things for people's collections. That's why you purposely put on such a big show to make me believe that you really want to sell it. Miss Bai, thank you for your hard work. "
Although she was exposed, Bai Xiaoye's expression didn't change. "Mr. Ma San-er, no matter what, since you're here today, you must give me an answer, right?"
Ma San-er nodded. "Of course. This jade dress is indeed unearthed from an ancient tomb in Xixia. You're really not simple … You even found a tomb in Xixia and brought out such a treasure in perfect condition. I admire you, I admire you … "
"Thank you, Mr. Ma San-er, for your praise," Bai Xiaoye said. "Since you've come all the way here, we must do our best as hosts. If you have any requests, feel free to tell us. As long as it's reasonable, we'll try our best to satisfy you. "
Ma San-er turned around and glanced at Xu Yun. He didn't have any requests. Ma San-er didn't want to cause trouble for himself in front of such a 'rich family'. However, Xu Yun wouldn't be so easy to get rid of … He had come with him no matter what, which meant that Xu Yun wouldn't let him off so easily.
"I don't have any requests. You can ask Brother Yun." Ma San-er waved his hand.
