Just then, a report came in from outside saying that had come to visit.

Hearing that, everyone was shocked, they were all practitioners of the Chinese Art Market, the reputation of the Elder Liu was naturally well-known, some of the appraisal experts were also direct disciples of the Elder Liu, hearing that their teacher had suddenly come, they were both surprised and happy.

Even Wang Chunhao respected Mr. Liu Chengen a lot, he anxiously stood up to welcome him, "Quick, quickly, invite Elder Liu in."

Murong Yan naturally knew about the position of the Elder Liu in the circle, and secretly cursed in her heart. If the matter from before were to be known by the Elder Liu, she would probably be in an even worse situation, and might even be criticized by the Elder Liu. In order to avoid any awkwardness, she planned to quickly drag Xu Lang and leave this place.

However, it was already too late. Old Mr. Liu Chengen had already walked in.

Seeing that she could not dodge in time, Murong Yan could only step forward to welcome him courteously, but she could not interrupt him at all. Not only her, a few disciples of Elder Liu who were present went up to greet him, but he ignored them and actually walked straight towards Xu Lang who was still seated on the chair.

What was going on? Everyone was shocked.

Elder Liu laughed and said to Xu Lang: "Little friend Xu Lang, I never thought that we would meet again so soon, haha, it is my honor to be able to be invited by you."

In reality, it was indeed Xu Lang who sent a text message inviting Liu Chengen to come. Last time at the antique street, Xu Lang and Elder Liu had a good time talking and almost forgotten about each other.

Xu Lang knew that today's matter would require such an esteemed senior to take charge of the situation. After all, things like antiques and calligraphy were extremely difficult to differentiate, and it would be very difficult to seek help from modern technology. Most of it would be done in order to appraise everyone's professional knowledge and conduct.

Xu Lang had only sent an invitation message to Elder Liu in an attempt to probe, he did not expect the elder to really come, so he quickly got up to greet the Elder Liu, and passionately chatted with him, as though they were good friends that had not seen each other for many years, causing everyone around to be stupefied.

Murong Yan looked at the scene in front of her with suspicion. She was no longer familiar with Xu Lang, where did this guy come from?

After finishing the reminiscing with Xu Lang, Elder Liu finally greeted Wang Chunhao and his disciples.

Wang Chunhao treated the old senior as an honored guest and sat him down. Only, he didn't seem to understand why the old senior had been invited by Xu Lang, so he politely asked: "Elder Liu, do you have any advice for me?"

Liu Chengen laughed and said: "I dare not accept your advice, but I am honored to be able to share a treasure with little friend Xu Lang, and exchange pointers with you, I am truly honored." He then turned to Xu Lang and said: "Little friend Xu Lang, what treasure do you have, you don't mind taking it out?"

Xu Lang laughed, and indicated for Wang Chunhao's subordinates to take out the second painting.

The arrival of the Elder Liu increased the confidence of the appraisers within Wang Chunhao's company. One of the disciples quickly walked in front of the Elder Liu and said softly, "Master, this painting was created by the great master Wang Qingwei today. It follows the old master's usual style and is extremely lifelike.

What the disciple said was true, and this was indeed their agreement. However, before he could finish, Mr. Liu Chengen waved his hand, signalling him not to say anymore.

Elder Liu observed carefully and even took out an pair of reading glasses as well as a pair of white gloves. This showed that this painting was undoubtedly the real thing, which allowed Wang Chunhao and the others to have greater confidence in it.

When Murong Yan saw this, shshewas even more worried. She thought: Damn it, even if Senior Elder Liu knows Xu Lang, he can't possibly call it a lie, right? Xu Lang, oh Xu Lang, this time you really did raise a rock and threw it at yourself.

When he looked at Xu Lang again, he saw that this fellow did not seem to care at all. He continued to eat the fruits and seeds by himself. Didn't you see the seriousness of the situation? If the Elder Liu found out that Xu Lang had the suspicion of spouting lies, not only would the cooperation be impossible, the reputation of their company would also be severely damaged.

Elder Liu was very cautious, it took him more than twenty minutes to appraise it before he could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Wang Chunhao and the others were not worried at all, with Elder Liu's appraisal opinion, they would be even more powerful in exposing the ugly face of the fake expert from the This Boy.

However, Old Man Liu Chengen said slowly: "Everyone, although this old one does not know which side this painting belongs to, I must speak the truth, this is a high level fake, but a fake is after all, a fake. We must respect the art and the facts."

His words stunned everyone. His disciples thought they had heard wrongly. It was simply unbelievable, but they did not dare to question their own teacher.

Murong Yan was also stunned, the situation suddenly reversed, it was truly unbelievable! Her eyes could not help but fall on Xu Lang's body, he was at ease and she suddenly felt that everything was within Xu Lang's control, isn't he too godly?

The disciples did not dare question Elder Liu, but Wang Chunhao could not help it. He walked in front of Elder Liu and said gently: "Elder Liu, look, this painting was purchased by our company for one million. It has been appraised by over a dozen experts, including your disciples, so how could it be fake?"

With regards to Wang Chunhao's questioning, Elder Liu was not angry at all. He laughed and said: "Boss Wang, please listen to what this old one has to say." He then called his disciples over to listen.

The old man slowly said, "When you were following my apprentices, I remember telling you that when appraising art, the first thing you have to do is to know what art is. Real art either reflects the social environment at that time through the screen, or it expresses the inner feelings of the painter.

When you look at this painting again, although the main theme is the painting of a human being and the style is indeed imitating Great Master Wang Qing, but, if you look again, the two protagonists in the painting, one old and one young, the old and one young, bought the little one an egg roll. The old one should be the elder of the child, but his eyes were unfocused, and the child's eyes were empty.

Perhaps, you would say that this old man's appraisal is only limited to the idealistic ones. Then, everyone take a look at this, the clothes and buttons that the girl in the painting wore are a foreign product, this style and shape was only popular in the West three years ago and was introduced into our country one year ago. But, Great Master Wang Qing declared the seal to be ten years ago, everyone, what do you think? "

These words rendered everyone speechless. The old senior spoke reason and truth, brilliant and unassailable. His disciples all came over to carefully examine it, and indeed discovered many flaws.

One of the disciples even added, "Yes, yes. The scroll looks old, but in fact it's deliberately old."

It could only sell for a hundred and eighty thousand, yet Wang Chunhao's company spent one million to buy it. The key point was, how would he even have the face to negotiate with Murong Yan's company?

Murong Yan was not in the mood to listen to the explanations given by the Elder Liu and the rest. All of her attention was focused on Xu Lang. He was like a treasure that was filled with unknown treasures, giving her pleasant surprises from time to time, which even enchanted her. She couldn't wait to dig out Xu Lang and get even more pleasant surprises from him.

Thinking about it, Murong Yan suddenly thought that her idea was too crazy, sshe anxiously shook her head, her heart was blushing red, he was too embarrassed to look at Xu Lang.

Xu Lang who was beside his did not understand and asked: "Eh? Chair Murong, did you drink? Why is your face so red? "

Murong Yan said embarrassedly: "You don't need to care!"
