”Recently, Nanhe City and I have been invited as special guests to host a meeting on the ninth floor of the Zhang Clan Auction House in Nanhe City.”
Old Man Li drank a mouthful of tea and then, with a smile on his face, he proudly told me the purpose of their visit to Nanhe City.
Old Man Li's words stunned me, because I never expected that the two old men in front of me were the special guests of Top Auctions.
This was a world-class auction, many big shots from overseas had sent Zhang Chenglin applications, hoping that he would be able to participate in this auction.
”What do you mean by 'special guest'?” Although I am a little shocked that Old Man Li and the rest are able to participate in the Top Auctions, I am still a little unclear about this concept of inviting guests.
”Actually, it's just asking us two old men to confirm that what is on auction is real.”
The Old Man Wang interjected and explained it so clearly that it was easy to understand. I immediately understood.
These two old men had the ability to identify antiques and were invited by Zhang Chenglin to become the appraiser.
In other words, these two old men were not bad, but why did they become a peddler in the Beihe City?
”You're not lying to me, are you?”
I acted as if I didn't believe them, which made them a little nervous.
”Little brother Chen Yang, if we deceive you, you will be your grandson.” Old Man Wang immediately swore a venomous oath, and I was so shocked that I almost threw the teacup in my hand onto the ground.
These two old men are both old enough to be my grandpas, but now that they're my grandsons, I can't stand them.
”No, I'm just saying it casually. Don't take it seriously, your bro.”
I quickly tried to persuade her with a smile to ease the awkward atmosphere.
”What I mean is, when I saw you all in Beihe City, I was rather down on my luck. How could I have been invited by Zhang Chenglin to become a appraiser?”
”Sigh!” Old Man Li let out a long sigh, then faintly said, ”This is a long story.”
”Let me do it!” Old Man Wang took over, and then I turned my gaze towards him, ”This is all because of our identity.”
”Identity?” I replied doubtfully.
”The last time we met, I thought you knew. We were grave robbers.”
Old Man Wang seemed to have understood something when he said this. In novels, the identity of a tomb robber sounded impressive, but in reality, people hated him to the bone. This should be the concern of the Old Man Wang and his.
”When we were young, for the sake of wealth, we dug up many graves and stole the gold, silver, and jewelry inside. At that time, we could be said to be infamous. Even the police were unable to do anything to us. We were very proud of ourselves. ”
Old Man Wang stared fixedly at the empty teacup in his hand as he spoke, as if he was lost in a distant memory.
”At that time, we were really famous. Not only were there wanted posters, but we were also on TV. Even in the antique industry, many people were familiar with us.”
Old Man Li interrupted, revealing the nostalgia in his heart for that period of time. His words unconsciously revealed his pride.
”Don't say anymore. These are all shameful matters. Yet, you're still speaking with such a complacent manner.”
When the original narrator, Old Man Wang, saw Old Man Li's appearance, he unhappily interrupted him and threw him a supercilious look. This scene was very funny.
