Chapter 159 Praising Her Secretly
Chapter 159 Praising Her Secretly
The collector who sold the two pieces of collection to Chen Xingfu happened to be present. When he heard that the pieces he sold to him were fake, he changed his attitude and demanded an explanation.
Sheng Shushu was not sure whether the original owners of the eight counterfeits identified last time had colluded with Mr. Meng and Mr. Ma, or whether they were replaced by Mr. Meng afterwards.
He does seem indignant.
"If you have any objections, I can answer them." After all, if she authenticates the artifact as authentic, collectors will definitely be more inclined towards her.
Sheng Shushu followed the collector's sentiment and looked at the appraiser opposite him. "May I ask why you identified this porcelain bottle as a fake?"
The appraiser seemed to be a real professional. "Anyone with a year or so of collecting experience can tell that the scratches on this porcelain vase are parallel, and the fakery is too crude."
Then he pointed to another fake, which was also porcelain.
"This is even more fake, a typical fabrication of patterns."
Sheng Shushu raised his eyebrows slightly, "Since you say it's a fake, why not just smash it?"
Her action surprised everyone, and she lifted up one of the porcelain pieces as she spoke.
The whole hall was so frightened that everyone gasped.
Even Elder Xue was getting nervous and whispered to stop her, "Girl, be careful! This..."
He did not personally make the appraisal, but just stood beside her and watched her examine them. However, as a veteran, his eyes were sharp enough to tell that there was definitely something fishy about these two pieces of porcelain.
It's not as simple as it looks like a fake.
When this girl said it was a genuine item, Mr. Xue was a little surprised. This showed that her eyesight was more experienced than that of the senior appraiser next to her!
Compared to her age, Mr. Xue really has a new opinion of her!
No wonder Xiao Yu dared to threaten him with his apprentice and forced him to come to the capital. It seems that this girl is quite capable.
Sheng Shushu did not stop because of Mr. Xue's voice, and his hand was raised as high as possible.
Then fall down quickly.
next second...
"Hey! Stop it!"
Mr. Meng was unable to sit still after all. He stood up suddenly and stopped Sheng Shushu's behavior in a stern voice.
"Whether it's a fake or not, the way you destroyed it is inappropriate!"
Sheng Shushu smiled and said, "Fakes should be completely destroyed to avoid disrupting the market, right?"
She asked Mr. Meng, "Do you think this is authentic?"
Neither of these two items was purchased from Mr. Meng.
As expected, Mr. Meng said, “I did think it was a fake just now, but… didn’t you say it was authentic?”
Sheng Shushu didn't care. "I think it's authentic. You don't believe it, right? Maybe my skills are limited. I can tell whether it's real or fake by smashing one."
"You!" Mr. Meng was so angry that he couldn't say a word.
Both of these items are very valuable. She is not a collector, and she is not a seller or a buyer. She doesn't care about the value at all. She is really carefree!
"This is obviously a fake!" Mr. Meng was furious.
"But you can't destroy it!"
Sheng Shushu laughed, "Was it destroyed by Mr. Meng?"
Mr. Meng said with reluctance, "It's not impossible. I have some reputation in the industry."
Mr. Meng has already arrived on stage.
Once again, "Looking closely, these two items are obviously fake!"
He said sarcastically, "I didn't expect Jia Shang to do such a thing!"
"Mr. Meng, you have to be responsible for what you say!" The original seller was not happy. "If I sell fake goods to Mr. Chen, I will be struck by lightning!"
The scene suddenly became heated and everyone had their own opinions.
He was almost cursing.
Sheng Shushu was quiet for a while before he raised the porcelain to call for a stop.
"Don't get excited. The truth is in Mr. Meng's hands."
She looked at Mr. Meng and said in a low voice: "Mr. Meng knew that these two items were actually authentic? Did he deliberately let the appraiser identify them as fake?"
"Mr. Meng instigated the treasure appraisal here, and had the appraiser identify it as a fake, ruining Jiashang's auction, saying that you were the one who dealt with the fakes, and then you turned around and auctioned the items as authentic ones?"
Jiashang's reputation was ruined, and he also got the collection for free, killing two birds with one stone.
Mr. Meng's eyes widened in anger. "You are slandering me!"
She laughed, "Why don't you call the police?"
Sheng Shushu raised the porcelain in his hand again and said, "There are a lot of interruptions in today's auction, so I won't waste everyone's time."
"This porcelain looks fake on the surface, but it is actually real."
“So, the original seller’s claim that he gave Mr. Chen an absolute guarantee of authenticity was true.”
"Mr. Meng said this thing is a fake, and he is right because he created a fake layer on top."
This is what Sheng Shushu just discovered after a careful look. In this case, the appraiser was not bribed, but was deceived by the surface.
When Mr. Meng heard this, his face turned black in public, "Not only are you slandering me, you are defaming me! Someone come here!"
Mr. Meng brought bodyguards with him.
Sheng Shushu looked at Zong Chizhi who was already standing in front of him, and he was not panicked at all. "I have a recording of Mr. Meng's fraud, and a video evidence."
The place suddenly fell silent.
Sheng Shushu looked at Mr. Meng and said, "Just before Mr. Chen got these things at the auction that he attended in the first half of the year, Mr. Meng, as an administrator, went into the collection room to take away the collection and returned it in the middle of the night. Mr. Chen took the collection on a working day after the weekend, and the traces of the counterfeiting had already dried up."
Mr. Meng was horrified. How could she know even the details?
Chen Xiaona called the police in advance, and now the police have arrived.
Mr. Meng was obviously a little panicked, after all, a huge amount of money was involved.
The appraisal meeting was suspended and the police asked several people to go to the rest room next door for questioning.
Sheng Shushu looked at Mr. Meng and said, "Mr. Meng, it's not too late to surrender now. If a case is really filed, it will be too late."
Mr. Meng looked at her and asked, "You said you have evidence?"
Sheng Shushu took a pen from the hem of her skirt, opened it, and found that the pen cap was a USB flash drive.
She handed it to the officer and said, "Find a host to plug it into."
When Mr. Meng saw this, sweat broke out on his forehead.
But he seemed to still want to hope for the best. What if the USB flash drive was fake?
The police found a laptop and plugged the USB drive into it.
Mr. Meng then called a halt. Once the footage appeared and everyone had seen the evidence, it would not be considered surrender if he continued to confess.
"I said!" He let out a breath!
The police asked him to take a statement on the spot.
Just like what Sheng Shushu said, he was trying to be a hero and kill two birds with one stone.
After Mr. Meng finished writing, he reached out to Sheng Shushu and said, "Since I have already written my confession, give me the USB drive."
Sheng Shushu smiled.
The police took it away, saying they were going to investigate further and collect evidence.
The appraisal controversy ended here. Mr. Meng was taken away, while Sheng Shushu and others returned to the auction.
The two collections were restored to their original state and the outer layers of fraud were removed.
The audience was amazed, “She can see this?”
"As expected of you, you are Master Xue's disciple. Master Xue demonstrated this skill before!"
Mr. Xue was listening upstairs, his expression a little hard to describe.
Was he forced to accept an apprentice in public?
This is what Xiao Yu is planning, right?
He went through so much trouble just to secretly praise her?
In front of so many people, letting him stand here as a supporting role, this girl's reputation became a hit.
