Xu Zhendong quickly sent Sun Zhaowen and the Ru kiln porcelain he brought away. Zhou Xia smiled and said, "It's a blessing that Master Xu is here, otherwise, I really don't know how to speak to such an old man."

Xu Zhendong couldn't help but sigh, "Tell the truth! I think he is a confused person. Who dares to be lucky in precious porcelain such as Ru Kiln? If you don't go around and take a look, at least you have to understand the antique Ru Kiln porcelain that is popular in the market! You deserve to take action rashly and suffer a loss."

Zhou Xia smiled and said, "If you recommend that such high-quality Ru kiln porcelain be used to go to those more famous auction companies, such as Red Sun, Macau CITIC, and Beijing Zhongjia, you will definitely be able to sell high prices."

"The only ones who dare to auction Ru kiln porcelain from the Song Dynasty at auctions and repeatedly sell at sky-high prices. International auction companies like Sotheby's and Christie's only dare to auction porcelain from the three Qing Dynasty imitating Ru kilns." Xu Zhendong was immediately happy when he heard this.

There is no need to say much about the various things among them. Those who know a little bit of it know what kind of goods these auction companies are, so there is nothing they dare not buy.

In addition to identifying the collections delivered to the auction company by collectors, Zhou Xia and Xu Zhendong will also open the company's emails to view the emails sent by collectors. These emails basically come with detailed photos of the items they want to cast.

Through these photos, the auction company can conduct preliminary screening. Those things that can be judged as fake by photos will naturally not be sent to them, so as not to waste each other's time, money and energy.

For those collections that have been initially screened and thought they might be genuine, Zhou Xia and the others will contact the collectors and ask them to bring the collections to the auction company for appraisal. Zhou Xia and Xu Zhendong are not gods. Through the photos, they can only judge the general situation, whether it is true or false, or whether they see the authentic product, and get started with it personally to make the most accurate appraisal.

Of course, except for a few items collected in this way, the quality of the items will naturally not be too high. It would be good if it could be genuine. There would be too many hopes for anything else.

Heavy objects like Yongxuan Qinghuā porcelain generally require personal relationships to convince collectors to send them to the film.

Zhou Xia and Xu Zhendong communicated while doing appraisal, which was quite harmonious.

Xu Zhendong has always been easy-going, especially during this period, after seeing the potential that Zhou Xia showed, he lost his mind to hide his own personal feelings. He also knew that the incompetent Xu Yaohui at home always dragged Zhou Xia to collect things and taught Zhou Xia more of his accumulated experience, which was equivalent to helping Xu Yaohui in disguise. In this way, how could Xu Zhendong not be attentive?

Not to mention Zhou Xia, old experts like Xu Zhendong, Zhao Xiangbo, and Liu Yuanshan are like mountains of gold and endless treasures to be discovered. He didn't think about learning all their skills, but it was quite good to have learned 10% or 20% of them.

During the appraisal process, one is willing to teach and the other is willing to learn. Most of the time, the two are discussing and learning from each other. The atmosphere is of course very relaxed and pleasant.

Zhou Xia even felt that continuing to stay in the company was the most wisest decision he had ever made.

Unfortunately, such a good time didn't last long. When it was almost time to get off work at noon, Zhou Xia's cell phone rang.

He picked it up and saw it, it was an unfamiliar number, but it was found to be from the Donghai area.

He accused Xu Zhendong for a while, and then went to the side to answer the phone.

"Hello, I am Zhou Xia, who do you?" Zhou Xia's habitual opening remarks.

The sound over there was cold but not crisp, "I, Fang Xue."

Zhou Xia then remembered that he had left too hasty that day and forgot to ask her mobile phone number, and did not leave her mobile phone number for him. No wonder she did not show it, but how did she find his mobile phone number? Zhou Xia secretly guessed that she should have found it through Su Xiaoru.

But it doesn't matter if you pursue this. The key is to find her what she means. Zhou Xia wanted to ask, but when she came to the exit, she turned into "Fang Xue, how are you doing recently?"

"It's okay, it's like that anyway in school." Fang Xue felt strange to herself, but she didn't show it.

Zhou Xia was so embarrassed and didn't care about anything. He quickly asked her, "Is there anything you have to do when you call me?"

Can't you call you if you're fine? If you change to ordinary people, you will definitely ask this question.

However, Fang Xue would definitely not be able to say this.

She also said bluntly, "Last time in the library, didn't I see the one you bought? I also took photos with my mobile phone."

Zhou Xia nodded, "It's because of this. Why, has Fang Xue got a new appraisal result?"

"That's not. It's just that today, my mentor, Professor Zhu Xiufang, accidentally mentioned this painting and said that she wanted to personally identify it. I didn't know how she knew this painting, so I wanted to ask, the painting is still in your hands. If possible, can I lend it to me for a few days. Professor Zhu is very nice and treats me well. I think she would be very happy if she could get this work in person." Fang Xue's voice was still slow, calm and cold. There was no point in asking for help, but it was not the kind of arrogant girl who felt that she would lend you something, but it was your honor.

Fang Xue gave Zhou Xia the feeling that she was just saying something that had nothing to do with her.

Zhou Xia knew that this was Fang Xue's usual temperament. One day she suddenly changed, Zhou Xia would feel a little uncomfortable.

He hurriedly explained, "That's right! I've sent that painting to our company's upcoming autumn auction."

Fang Xue felt something, "I just thought it was strange. How could Professor Zhu know about this painting? It turned out that it was at auction. Your company's publicity work is doing quite well! Since that's the case, let's pretend that I didn't say it before, I'm sorry, I'll bother you!"

Zhou Xia hurriedly said, "Fang Xue, don't hang it first. Although I have already given this painting to the auction, I can still take it out in our company. Professor Zhu is a person I admire very much. She is the authoritative of legal works. If this work can be recognized by her, it would be the best!"

Fang Xue was a little confused, "This will not violate the regulations of your auction company!"

"No, the regulations are also time to be compatible. My company now has some say at least." Zhou Xia replied with a smile.

Fang Xue rarely chuckled and said, "That's true. I almost forgot that you are now a senior appraiser with an annual salary of one million."

Zhou Xia smiled and said, "Fang Xue, you have learned to tease people now! Then I will send the paintings here in the afternoon. You guys are at school!"

Fang Xue replied, "Here, just come and call me, that's the number. I don't want to tell Professor Zhu for now. If you give her a surprise, you are not allowed to notify her in advance."

Zhou Xia nodded and said yes, thinking that Fang Xue did not understand the world at all, but just depends on whether she was in a good mood or not, and whether she was willing to do it.

After the agreement was made, Fang Xue took the call, and Zhou Xia felt a little lost.

When he returned, Xu Zhendong didn't ask him anything. Zhou Xia took the initiative to tell him, "Master Xu, if I have something to do in the afternoon, I have to go out. I can only ask Master Xu to work harder!"

Xu Zhendong laughed and said it was okay, then asked, "Did you call you just now? Could it be that Xu Yaohui wants to find you out!"

Zhou Xia hurriedly replied, "It's not Uncle Xu, it's about the finished picture I gave to take. A professor in our school wants to see it with his own eyes."

Xu Zhendong was interested, "This is a good thing. Although this painting, although several of us old guys, have been identified as the works of Bada Shanren, there are still quite a few people who object. If it can be recognized by the professor who specializes in this field of identification and research, its value will increase a lot. Can you tell me what the professor is called?"

"Professor Zhu Xiufang!" Zhou Xia replied.

Xu Zhendong laughed at the sound of this, "It turns out it's her, no wonder she is interested in this work."

Zhou Xia was a little confused, but seeing that Xu Zhendong didn't mean to continue, he didn't ask. Anyway, he would figure out the matter out by himself. It would be much more interesting to reveal the secrets himself than others told him.

Seeing that he did not ask questions, Xu Zhendong did not rush to explain, but asked him to say hello to Liu Yuqing first, and take out the painting before he got off work.

Zhou Xia nodded and thanked him, then got up to find Liu Yuqing.

He knocked on the door of her office and soon heard Liu Yuqing's clear voice and let him in.

Liu Yuqing, who was buried in her copywriting, looked up and saw that it was Zhou Xia. A smile suddenly appeared on her pretty face, and she asked him what was wrong.

Zhou Xia said, "I have something to do this time and I want to ask Manager Liu to help Tongrong Rongrong."

Liu Yuqing smiled and said, "You! Why are you doing so politely with me? Just say whatever you have."

"That's right. I want to take out that picture for a while, but I don't know if it's convenient." Zhou Xia then said the subject.

"Nothing inconvenient! I'll go with you right away." Liu Yuqing was very proud, and then she asked again, "Do you take out the painting and lend it to others to appreciate?"

Zhou Xia replied with a smile, "That's right, because our auction company's publicity work is done quite well, and most people in the circle know that there is such an unfinished work by Bada Shanren."

Liu Yuqing laughed and said, "Why don't you say that our publicity is still very sensational? You have a copy of this planning work!"

Zhou Xia laughed, "I just got the news. Professor Zhu Xiufang from Donghai University also heard about such a painting. She really wanted to see this work in person. So, I thought, to lend this painting for a while and let her help to make an appraisal, and she could fulfill her wish and kill two birds with one stone."

"Professor Zhu!" Liu Yuqing had an impression of her. She also said with a smile, "Professor Zhu has a very deep foundation in appraisal of French works. If she can get her recognition, then the authenticity of this painting will be even more unquestionable. This is a good thing. If I don't agree, I may become a sinner for the ages."

Zhou Xia said, "Manager Liu is so serious! I thought, I would send this painting to her in the afternoon."

"Okay!" Liu Yuqing nodded, and she pondered and said, "Professor Zhu's surname is Zhu, could it be... If this is the case, it is not impossible for this painting to be sold at a high price."

Zhou Xia also thought of this possibility, so we can't blame Liu Yuqing for spoiling it out.

He himself believed that this was undoubtedly the work of Zhu Da, a Bada Shanren, and otherwise, it would not have been systematically identified as a precious cultural relic. However, it is not easy to be recognized by the world. If more people can be convinced, Zhou Xia would still be happy to see it.

Liu Yuqing handled the work at hand, and then went to the warehouse where the lot was kept to collect the paintings.

On the way, Liu Yuqing also asked Zhou Xia, "How did you get this news!"

Zhou Xia told the truth, saying, "After I bought the painting that day, I took it to the school library to check the information, and wanted to figure out who painted the painting? In the library, I met my former classmate, who is now a graduate student led by Professor Zhu. She had seen this painting at that time and knew that the owner of the painting was me, so she called me."

"Oh, that's right!" Liu Yuqing did not ask Zhou Xia. His classmate was a man or a woman, and the relationship between them was not yet at that point.

However, Liu Yuqing couldn't help but tease, "I thought it was your junior sister who informed you!"

Zhou Xia smiled embarrassedly, "You know that if you don't perform well in undergraduate studies, you won't have a close relationship with the professors in the college. When I was in school, I was the type that was shameless and could never find it again. I didn't have much connection with Professor Zhu Xiufang. Now I think about it, I'm really sorry and missed a lot of opportunities to study."

Liu Yuqing smiled and said, "You used to be a little low-key, but it doesn't matter. Now, it's just a good show! This time I can return home with a grand style. If I have such an excellent student as you, if I am Professor Zhu, I will definitely feel very happy in my heart."

Zhou Xia wanted to argue that he was not low-key in the past, but was truly ordinary. If it weren't for this archaeological identification system that fell from the sky, he would probably be as mediocre as before, which would have failed Liu Yuqing's expectations.

The more he thought about this, the more Zhou Xia cherished his current life. Not only should he keep up with his studies, but it is best not to put down other aspects.

As for what Liu Yuqing said about returning home in glory, although Zhou Xia had such an idea in his heart, after all, before he was proud, guilty was a big part of it.

So, Zhou Xia replied, "It's still too far away to return home. If you go back to school, you will feel the atmosphere of the school. It's very good. It can be very relaxed and happy, and the pressure on your shoulders is not that great."

Liu Yuqing nodded and said, "I often dream about the good times on campus. Unfortunately, I am busy all day long and have lost that state of mind."

"Or, Senior Sister Liu, please go back to school with me in the afternoon to experience the good times of the school. You can have half a day of leisure!" Zhou Xia suggested, and even the name of Liu Yuqing has changed. It was because of the friendship between the same school that Zhou Xia was able to gain a foothold in the Tiandi Auction Company.

Liu Yuqing smiled and shook her head, "There are so many things in the company, so I won't go. Just feel it for me."

"After the autumn auction is over, there should be free time." Seeing that she is determined, Zhou Xia did not persuade her much. In fact, he also knew that once Liu Yuqing made a decision, it would be difficult to change.

"I hope so!" Although Liu Yuqing is not an authentic workaholic, she still devotes most of her energy to the auction company.

This made Zhou Xia feel a little regretful, but more so, he still admired him.

While speaking, Liu Yuqing opened the company warehouse and quickly found the unfinished one stored here according to the storage number.

Liu Yuqing handed the painting to Zhou Xia and told him, "You can take it back first and lend it to Professor Zhu for a while, so that she can do the appraisal slowly. Just send it back before the company holds the preview of the autumn auction."

"Okay, thank you, Manager Liu!" Zhou Xia said.

Liu Yuqing couldn't help but say to him in a reproachful tone again, "I told you not to be polite with me, you don't know. The Xuande Qinghuā plum vase you bought together with Uncle Xu is also not here either."

Zhou Xia smiled and said, "I am thanking Manager Liu for taking the time to bring me here in his busy schedule."

When Liu Yuqing heard this, she immediately smiled brightly, "I thought you were really polite! It turned out that she was learning bad things with Grandpa Zhao!"

Zhao Xiangbo was also shot while lying down.

But Zhou Xia was determined to put him in the end and replied with a smile, "I have really benefited a lot from following Mr. Zhao these days, and I have understood a lot of truths I didn't understand in the past. Not to mention anything else, this face alone is much thicker than in the past."

Liu Yuqing smiled and said, "It's great that you have such an awareness. However, if you can achieve half of Grandpa Zhao's foundation, I admire you."

Zhou Xia hurriedly said, "Mr. Zhao's skills are really unfathomable. I dare not defeat him. With his ability to succeed, I will be satisfied."

His words only made Liu Yuqing very happy. Thinking that Zhao Xiangbo rarely gained advantage from Zhou Xia now, maybe he was still cleaning bronze ware. Liu Yuqing felt even more happy. As the saying goes, the Yangtze River pushes the previous waves, and the previous waves die on the beach, which makes Zhao Xiangbo defeated, which is something that everyone in the circle likes to hear.

The two of them laughed and had a great time. After taking out the painting, they also arrived at the time to have dinner after get off work. Liu Yuqing asked Zhou Xia to have dinner together. Zhou Xia said there was no need, so he would do the preparations quickly. Professor Zhu was not so easy to meet. Don't be stumped when you see her. Liu Yuqing smiled and would not force her.
