"Um, don't think too much about it. I just feel that you've been avoiding me for the past few days, and I don't know what I've done wrong. If I really make you angry, you can tell me and I'll fix it later." Lin Jing continued.

"No, no. It's just that I've been too busy these past few days. I've been running around all day, so I didn't purposely hide from you." Jiang Qianxue said.

"Really?" Lin Jing stopped and asked Jiang Qianxue.

"Well, really." Jiang Qianxue said decisively. She secretly thought to herself, "This guy was so strong before, but now he's so silly. He's really a pig's hoof. Don't tell me he doesn't feel my thoughts at all?"

Just as he was thinking about it, he felt embarrassed and thought to himself, "Jiang Qianxue, you idiot. What are you thinking about? No, not at all, no, not at all! "

The pitiful Lin Jing was a man of steel. He simply didn't understand what a girl was thinking. How could he possibly know what Jiang Qianxue was thinking?

It was fine as long as she believed what he said.

Since ancient times, true emotions could not be preserved.

Lin Jing didn't know who had thought of these words. In the past, he didn't think they were reasonable, but when he and Jiang Qianxue once again fell into an awkward situation, he finally realized that these were the truest truths of the world.

Perhaps one's IQ would always drop in front of someone one really liked.

As he consoled himself in his heart, Lin Jing also understood that this wasn't an option. A long period of awkwardness would not only make one seem distant, but it would also cause one's brain to be empty for a long time. It would also cause one to let their imagination run wild. He felt that Jiang Qianxue might have already thought a lot.

Just as he was thinking of an excuse to start the conversation, the butler came out from the inside and respectfully said, "Mr. Lin, Mr. Dong is here. Would you like to start serving the dishes now, or wait a moment? The tea master is waiting outside and can come in at any time. "

"Ah, Elder Dong is here?" "Great, alright. Serve the dishes. It's getting late, we can drink some tea after dinner." Lin Jing was overjoyed. He was thankful that Old Dong had made it in time. He really couldn't find a suitable excuse to speak to Jiang Qianxue.

He walked into the house and just as he entered the living room, he saw a person walking in from the door. With a smile on his face, he said, "Xiao Lin, I'm sorry that I came late. "Coincidentally, I brought something here today. Please help me take a look."

As he spoke, Elder Dong took out a box. The box was made of sandalwood, neither too big nor too small. It was roughly big enough to fit a Buddha statue.

Buddha statues?

Lin Jing's heart stirred, but he maintained his composure. He smiled and said, "Elder Dong, you've personally handled such an eye-catching thing. How could we dare to take the initiative to attack you? What is inside?"

"Oh, this is just a small toy, a White Jade Guan Yin. I really don't know much about it, and I just happened to be coming over, so I brought it along with me to look around. I don't have any other intentions." Elder Dong said as if he was just casually taking a look.

The three of them sat down in the living room. They had to first look at Guan Yin's portrait. Naturally, they would have to wait for a while before eating. Lin Jing subconsciously glanced at the butler, who nodded his head before turning around to make the arrangements. With the Cloud Embroidery Workshop's handling of affairs, he could be at ease.

Old man Dong opened the box and took out a snow-white image of Guan Yin. Lin Qing's attention was also focused on this. With just a glance, his eyes lit up.

The white jade was made of transparent water. One could tell that it did not even need to be polished to see that there was almost no impurities contained within it.

Elder Dong continued to say: "This is Han Baiyu from the old pit, a famous expert. I don't think there's any problem with the carving standards, but do you think there's anything wrong with it? Xiao Lin, take a look, what's the problem?"

Lin Jing's eyes flashed as he thought to himself: Old Man Dong suddenly took out this White Jade Guan Yin. Although he said he was just casually looking at her, judging from his expression and tone, she knew it wasn't so simple. Han Baiyu has a famous reputation. His family was in the jewelry business, so it's impossible for them to not recognize him. It looks like Elder Dong wanted to use this item to test me, but how could I recognize him?

As this thought flashed through his mind, Lin Jing's face didn't have the slightest reaction as he carefully sized up Bai Yu Guan Yin. Unfortunately, his vision was limited and he couldn't see anything. But if he didn't say anything, then it would be impossible.

Lin Jing thought for a moment, then said, "Old Dong, from the perspective of its shape, it seems to be a bit more aesthetically modern. Our Buddha statue is a type of material that best reflects the aesthetic characteristics of the times, and every item in every era has its own special characteristics."

For example, the Buddha statues in front of the Northern and Southern Dynasties had simple and capable sculptures. Just speaking of Guan Yin alone, her face was relatively small and thin, her lips were thin and her eyes were low. After that, especially after the Tang Dynasty, her sculptures began to become more plump.

As for this painting, the Buddha's eyes are lowered and the corners of his mouth curled into a smile. However, it is very reserved, and seems rather casual and light when carving clothes. The ancient times are a bit more solemn in this area, so they wouldn't make such a choice.

Elder Dong smiled and said: "That's right, that's right. This is a little interesting. This Bai Yu Guan Yin was indeed carved by me by a master. I've wasted a lot of time. What do you think is the problem?"

Lin Jing's heart sank when he heard this. Old Dong wasn't planning on letting him pass so easily.

Taking a deep breath, he had no choice but to keep watching.

Initially, Lin Jing thought that Old Man Dong had taken out White Jade Guan Yin to test his appraisal ability. But now, he had already admitted that he had sent someone else to do it, so there was no longer a question of whether it was real or fake. Fortunately, he had made a bold guess at the start and said that it was rather modern. Otherwise, this paper would have ended before he could even answer.

However, after looking for a long time, he didn't have any new thoughts in his mind. Only when Jiang Qianxue whispered, "So beautiful!" Lin Jing's eyes lit up and looked towards Bai Yu Guan Yin, only to find that the appearance of this woman was truly too beautiful.

Guan Yin was different from other sculptures as it had a deep meaning. The word "beautiful" could never be used on it. If it was really a masterpiece, it would be impossible to make such a low level mistake.

With this thought, Lin Jing opened his mouth and said, "Old Dong, I'll be honest. In the beginning, I really didn't see anything wrong with it, but what Qianxue said just now reminded me that this temple image is truly too beautiful. As a Buddha statue, it shouldn't be like this."

"Moreover, the direction that they should be looking at is not the classical style of pure elegance, but more like the modern boastful aesthetic." Also, the direction that they should be looking at is not the classical style of pure elegance, but more like the modern style of boastful aesthetics.

"Haha, it's true that the eyes of a young person are different. I watched them for a long time but still couldn't see anything, and now that you mention it, I immediately understand that they have really looked better. Instead, they have lost the dignity Kuan Yin should have." Elder Dong smiled.

"Done, I've found the problem. My heart is at ease now. When we get back, we'll have the people change it again. Shall we eat first?"

"Please, Elder Dong." Lin Jing let out a sigh of relief. He had finally passed this trial.

The butler was waiting at the side. When he saw that they were almost done chatting, he immediately turned around and gave the orders. When the three of them arrived at the dining hall, the waiter came up with the dishes.

After they sat down, Lin Jing raised her glass and said to Elder Dong, "Elder Dong, I toast this cup to you. Thank you for your help all this while."

"You're too polite. We're all family, so let's not talk about each other." Elder Dong smiled.

After a few pleasantries, Old Dong suddenly looked towards Jiang Qianxue and asked, "Qianxue, has your father made any new plans recently?"

Jiang Qianxue was stunned for a moment. She didn't know what Lin Jing was thinking. She glanced at Lin Jing and then replied, "I'm busy taking out the goods that were previously squeezed out of the store. I'm also in the process of taking in new ones."

"Recently, I heard that there are many merchants in the City and they all want to cooperate with you. I thought that it was only because of this opportunity that we would be able to develop and develop properly." Elder Dong said in a seemingly indiscernible manner. He then looked towards Lin Jing and asked, "What is Little Lin planning to do next? Is there anything new that has appeared?"

Lin Jing's heart stirred when he heard this. Before this, he hadn't been able to understand that Elder Dong had treated him so warmly at the start, then had mysteriously cooled down for two days. Now that he heard this, he finally understood a little. Elder Dong was checking to see if he still had any treasures like before.

In the end, Elder Dong was also a businessman who stood at the peak of entrepreneurship. To him, no matter how much he admired a person, the most important thing was the tangible benefits. This was a cornerstone.

Thinking this, Lin Jing's face didn't change at all. He smiled and said, "Recently, the business in the shop has been rather busy. Other than checking the inventory, my main focus is on getting in touch with them.

"Blue and white porcelain? "Yes, in the current market, this type of thing is really the easiest to do. Whether in or out, it's pretty easy." At this point, what he wanted to know was more than enough, so he didn't continue probing.

After eating the entire meal, Lin Jing originally thought it would be easy, but the whole process had caused him to be jittery. It wasn't easy for him to calculate what had just happened.

Old man Dong had something to do, so he left after eating dinner. Lin Jing drank quite a bit of wine and stayed behind to rest. Jiang Qianxue accompanied him by his side.

The two of them sat on the ground with rare ease. The moon was bright in the sky, and there were no clouds within miles. The tranquility was unbelievable.

"Qianxue, do you think Elder Dong will have any opinion of me?" Lin Jing raised his head to look at the moon. His eyes were deep, just like the night sky.

"I don't know, but since Elder Dong helped us so much before, even if he has any ideas, we can't change them." Jiang Qianxue said calmly.

"That's right. If I'm willing to drop this favor, I'll repay it immediately. Elder Dong, you and I have no reason to be close, but you just lent me 20 million for free. You have to return the favor slowly." Lin Jing sighed as he spoke. He turned his head to look at Jiang Qianxue with a deep look in his eyes.

"Qianxue, if I want to do something, will you support me?"
