Chapter 238 Are You Qualified?
Cao Toufei's words were so arrogant that Lu Jun didn't react for a long time.
He has seen people showing off their wealth and people showing off, but this is the first time he speaks so unabashedly and straightforwardly... it's his first time!
With his eyes widened, Lu Jun asked subconsciously, "Who are you!"
This sentence is also on the minds of many people. Everyone wants to know the identities of these three people who suddenly appeared.
As a result, Caotou Fei rolled his eyes.
"Who cares about me!"
Everyone was weird for a while, and Lu Jun was a little stunned by this robbery.
Then Chang Xueming spoke.
"Mr. Lu, these are Xu Ling's friends..."
Although he was speaking to Lu Jun, he finally turned his face to Su Qiubai.
Many people could vaguely see that Chang Xueming was trying to please Su Qiubai and the others.
After hearing this, Lu Jun sneered again and looked at Cao Toufei and Su Qiubai.
"Xu Ling's friend? Okay! You'll pay for this painting, right?"
Immediately, everyone's eyes were focused on Su Qiubai.
Glancing at Lu Jun, Su Qiubai looked at Xu Ling who was blushing next to him, "What's going on?"
Xu Ling looked very anxious, as if all the previous grievances had finally found a place to vent at this moment.
After all, she was just a girl. She had never been so wronged and accused, not to mention that it was just a trap, so tears fell.
Looking at this posture, although the specific situation is still unclear, according to Su Qiubai's guess and understanding, there is definitely an inside story that others don't know!
Patting Xu Ling's shoulder, Su Qiubai told her not to be anxious and speak slowly.
She finally regained some composure, and after taking a look at Lu Jun, she was ready to fight. No matter what the outcome of today's matter was, she didn't want to stay here anymore.
"I fell into his trap!"
After mustering up the courage to say this, Xu Ling no longer had any scruples.
Then, the onlookers burst into uproar again.
Many people have also seen it from beginning to end. Although Lu Jun did arrange it well, many people also felt that something was not right.
After all, Xu Ling is not a fool. If she really opened the box, why did she just break the painting but not take it away, and leave such obvious evidence?
No matter how you think about it, this is unreasonable!
Because of this, as Xu Ling said these words, everyone looked at Lu Jun with doubts in their eyes!
Lu Jun was also surprised, especially Xu Ling's angry eyes, which actually made him feel a little more uneasy.
"Don't be slanderous! Did I set a trap for you?"
Immediately, Lu Jun aimed at Xu Ling and shouted coldly.
Su Qiubai ignored him and just asked Xu Ling to slowly tell the story.
After he figured out what was going on, Cao Toufei took the lead and scolded Lu Jun!
"You are so shameless! You can do such a thing!"
"Humph, what evidence is there? She made it all up herself. It can be seen clearly on the surveillance camera. Could it be that I was the one who did it?"
Lu Jun now seemed confident again, staring at Caotou Fei without the slightest hint of timidity.
Su Qiubai looked at Lu Jun in silence. He did not expect such a thing to happen.
Compensation for a painting is indeed nothing, but to suffer such a big loss for no reason, and it is clearly a trap set for Xu Ling, no matter how you think about it, you will feel a little unwilling!
Just when he was about to ask Long Lado from the system if there was anything he could do, a voice suddenly sounded from beside him.
"Is that painting by Tang Bohu?"
Hearing this, other people's reactions were put aside, but Su Qiubai's eyes widened in disbelief. Even Cao Toufei, who was about to scold Lu Jun a few more words, stopped.
The person who spoke was actually the old driver’s customer!
You know, from the first time Cao Toufei saw him to the time he wandered around Panjiayuan for more than two hours, this person didn't say a word!
Even Su Qiubai said that it seemed that he had not heard a few words from him!
Now this sudden statement is really surprising.
Of course, Lu Jun didn't know the reason. The man who heard the words was dressed in ordinary clothes, and his face looked a little downcast. His eyes were looking at the box on the table.
"Of course it belongs to Tang Bohu! Everything in our company has been authenticated by the Chinese Cultural Relics Research Association. If it is fake, you will be compensated ten percent!"
Lu Jun's words are indeed correct. He is the vice president of this company, and he acquired this painting from someone else, so what he said at this moment is indeed very powerful!
Even Chang Xueming followed up and said, "Yes, this painting has been authenticated and it is indeed Tang Bohu's!"
Hearing this, the old driver suddenly had an idea.
"Bring the painting over and let me have a look. I'm not sure about the authenticity of this painting."
Taking a step forward, after finishing speaking, he reached out towards the box, but was blocked by Lu Jun.
"Are you kidding? Who knows what tricks you are going to do! This painting has an appraisal certificate from the Cultural Relics Research Society. What right do you have to be worried!"
With a sneer, Lu Jun's face was full of ridicule.
Even Chang Xueming said, "This painting has indeed been authenticated by the research association. You... even if you say it is fake, it is of no use."
He guessed what Su Qiubai wanted to do, so Chang Xueming wanted him to give up the idea. After all, the name and status of the Chinese Cultural Relics Research Association in the antique world was basically unquestionable!
Since the appraisal certificate says it’s true, it must be true!
After hearing this, Su Qiubai stopped what he was doing and looked up at Lu Jun, "Who authenticated this painting?"
"Didn't I tell you! It was authenticated by the Chinese Cultural Relics Research Association! The certificate is here, you can see it for yourself!"
Lu Jun was about to get the certificate as he spoke, but was stopped by Su Qiubai.
"I asked you which person from the research association made the appraisal?"
Lu Jun really didn't expect that he would ask this. When he was about to speak, a voice suddenly sounded from behind him.
"I appraised it! Do you have any opinions? My name is Zheng Ming, and I am a member of the Chinese Cultural Relics Research Association!"
Following this voice, everyone turned their eyes and saw a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes. At this moment, his eyes were full of contempt and disdain when he looked at Su Qiubai.
So what if you have money? Do you understand cultural relics? Do you know what the Cultural Relics Research Society is?
A country bumpkin!
Although he didn't say these words out loud, everyone could see the meaning in his eyes.
Even Lu Jun started laughing.
"I forgot to introduce you. Mr. Zheng Ming is an old member of the Cultural Relics Research Association. He has won many awards and is quite famous in China!"
Hearing Lu Jun's words, Xu Ling's eyes showed a hint of understanding.
This Zheng Ming was the guest who sat with Lu Jun when she came here just now.
So now, I am even more certain that I have fallen into the trap designed by them!
The onlookers started talking after hearing Zheng Ming's identity, but many people showed admiration and respect in their eyes.
This is really due to the great reputation of the Chinese Cultural Relics Research Association, especially in the antique industry, and in Panjiayuan, the meaning it represents is even more unusual.
"What now? Do you plan to appraise this thing again?"
Not hearing Su Qiubai's answer, Zheng Ming looked at him again and asked, his tone full of ridicule.
But soon, his smile froze on his face.
"Of course, your skills are really bad, how can I rest assured! Give me the thing and let me see it!"
As he spoke, Su Qiubai reached for the box again!
Here, Lu Jun said in a cold voice, "I have never seen such a shameless person like you. Do you think you are at a higher level than Mr. Zheng Ming, or do you think you have a more outstanding person in the Chinese Cultural Relics Research Association?" Achievements and status?”
His words made it clear that he didn't intend to save any face for Su Qiubai. The sarcasm in his words was so strong that many onlookers started laughing.
Even Xu Ling was a little uneasy. She had no idea what Su Qiubai was going to do.
However, the veteran driver remains calm.
Just slowly, he looked at Zheng Ming, and then asked, "How is Mr. Dongfang doing recently? You can call him now and ask him whether I, as the director of the Chinese Cultural Relics Research Association, am qualified to transfer this Let’s re-appraise the painting.”
After saying this, there was silence all around, and Zheng Ming was completely dumbfounded!
