Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    "Be careful, this Hongwu underglaze red bowl with lotus pattern is the highlight of this auction."

    "Okay." Zhou Xia nodded hurriedly, and carefully took the brocade box from Liu Yuqing's hand in the car with both hands. The precious porcelain contained in it was estimated at five million. He felt heavy holding it in his hand, saying it weighed more than a thousand kilograms.  Not an exaggeration at all.

    He didn¡¯t dare to delay. He didn¡¯t even take a second look at the beautiful face of Liu Yuqing, the goddess in his heart. He immediately turned around and prepared to take it into Tiandi Art Auction Co., Ltd.

    At this moment, out of the corner of his eye, Zhou Xia saw his colleagues next to him ducking aside. This made him a little confused, and he suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.  He soon saw a little boy about ten years old sliding down the slope next to the company on a skateboard. He was quite fast and rushed towards his position. It looked like he could no longer control the situation.  He was skateboarding, and his colleagues moved out of the way for fear of being hit by him.

    Zhou Xia subconsciously wanted to do the same thing and hide away, but the rumbling sound of trucks on the other side of the road made him realize that once the little boy rushed onto the road here, he would most likely be knocked away, and it would be a live scene.  Human tragedy.

    He was not allowed to think much, let alone put the porcelain in his hand in a safe place. In the blink of an eye, the little boy rushed to him with a gust of wind.  But Zhou Xia couldn't even spare his hands to pull him at this time. In order to prevent him from rushing onto the road, he had to twist his body as much as possible and block him with his back. If he hit the brocade box, the fragile porcelain inside would be damaged.  That's it.

    Today¡¯s children are well-nourished and weigh quite a lot when they are well developed. This time a person and a skateboard collided with each other, and the momentum alone was quite scary.  Not to mention that the hard skateboard hit his leg, causing a sharp pain, and the impact of the little boy's body made him suddenly unsteady on his feet.

    Zhou Xia could only act on instinct, staggering forward, trying her best to maintain her figure, especially not to let the brocade box in her hand fall to the ground.  The panicked little boy also saw the truck speeding over. It was as if he had found a life-saving straw. He held on to him with all his strength and refused to let go. His momentum continued unabated, and he slid forward with Zhou Xia in his arms.  This made all Zhou Xia's efforts to maintain balance in vain and became the last straw that knocked him to the ground.

    When Zhou Xia fell forward, she didn't care whether she would be injured or not. She let her elbows hit the ground first, and at the same time, she held up her hands to try to protect the brocade box from hitting the ground.  But there was a little boy pressing on him, and the inertia of the two of them falling forward was too great. Even though he refused to let go of the brocade box until he died, the huge momentum still caused the brocade box to inevitably hit the ground.  .

    Then he heard a crisp cracking sound. Hearing this sound, Zhou Xia felt that his whole heart was broken.

    But with Zhou Xia, a human flesh mat underneath, the little boy who caused the accident was not injured at all. When he saw the porcelain that fell on the ground, he realized that he had caused a big trouble, and his first thought was to run away quickly, while Zhou Xia was still alive.  When he was lying on the ground in a daze, he got up and ran away on his skateboard amidst the rumble of the truck.

    Everything happened so fast, Zhou Xiaduo hoped it was just a nightmare, but the pain coming from his hands and feet, opening the brocade box, and seeing the Hongwu glazed red bowl smashed into a dozen pieces inside, all reminded him clearly.  , this is not a dream.  His head was buzzing and he went blank, and he didn't even realize that the little boy had run away.

    Colleagues from Tiandi Art Auction Co., Ltd. only reacted after the child ran away. Everyone was making a fuss and became a mess, "Go and stop that child"

    "Zhou Xia shouldn't have saved this damn kid."

    "Such a heartless guy deserves to be killed!"

    "Do you know whose child it is?"

    "I've never seen it before, and I can't catch up even if I want to"

    "Zhou Xia is really unlucky. He will never be able to repay five million yuan in his lifetime."

    ¡°Things in the world are really unpredictable. A few days ago, everyone was envious of him!¡¤¡±

    ¡°Quiet!¡± Manager Liu Yuqing had already gotten out of the car. Her delicate and flawless face was covered with frost, and no one dared to look directly at her rippled almond eyes.

    Liu Yuqing has always been kind to people, but she has never been so serious and cold before. Everyone immediately became quiet.

    Seeing everyone in a mess, Liu Yuqing, who had a strong aura, immediately ordered again, "Wang Chao, Zhang Jie, you two should go after the child immediately to see whose family it belongs to. He runs away when he gets into trouble. He has been educated quite well  ¡­¡±

    Zhang Jie has never been against Zhou Xia, because Zhou Xia has a professional background in archeology and solid theoretical knowledge. In addition, he is diligent and rushes to do everything. He also loves to learn and is willing to study. His honest face is very popular with the leaders and he can often follow everyone's hearts.  The goddess Liu Yuqing went out to work together.  But at this time, he didn't dare to show it.He followed Wang Chao without any hesitation and trotted after him.

    Liu Yuqing scolded the other staff with a straight face, "You are very good. You can hide faster than a rabbit. Tell me, should Zhou Xia hide away or let him rush to the road by himself? If you want to stop the child,  What will happen now?¡±

    Her words made other colleagues feel ashamed. Although she was in the car, it was not difficult to determine the cause and effect of the incident.  In Zhou Xia's position, it was really difficult to decide whether to save people or keep the porcelain.

    Zhou Xia endured the pain, reluctantly stood up, and said to her apologetically, "Manager Liu, I'm sorry, it's all my fault. I didn't take good care of the porcelain. I will be responsible for compensation."

    His words were somewhat beyond Liu Yuqing's expectations. She was a smart person and knew that the accident had happened. Of course, the responsibility must be investigated, but how to properly handle the following matters was the most important.  She didn't want to let the company's outstanding employees feel cold because of this. Zhou Xia was very kind and responsible, but if he really wanted to take full responsibility, he would use his salary to compensate for this piece of porcelain, and he would have to work for a hundred years without eating or drinking.  Not sure yet.

    Liu Yuqing said to him gently, "It's not your fault, and don't worry too much. Our company will handle it impartially. It doesn't matter if you are injured, go to the hospital first!"

    "It's nothing serious. It's just a scratch. I'll just apply some medicinal wine later." Zhou Xia quickly waved his hand. He couldn't get out of the hospital without some money. He still didn't know how the company would end up.  He is the first person responsible and must be involved.  Although Liu Yuqing is the manager of the company, she cannot monopolize power in the company. There is also a general manager Liu Suifeng who is not on the same page as her. Once anything involves interests, it is difficult to handle. This is true for the company, and so is the family, especially for the family.  Such huge sums are involved.

    Liu Yuqing forced a smile and said, "Then you should have a good rest and recover from your injuries as soon as possible. Also, don't think too much, the autumn auction is coming soon, and we need to work together to hold this auction well. By then,  I¡¯ll send red envelopes to everyone.¡±

    "Promise to complete the task!" Liu Yuqing gave everyone the steps, and everyone immediately expressed their stance like a spring breeze.  Zhou Xia is no exception. He can't do anything to evade responsibility. At worst, he will sell himself to the company for the rest of his life.

    Liu Yuqing directed everyone to send several other collections in the car to the company. This time, everyone was even more cautious. If what happened just happened again, the company would be closed down.

    This time Zhou Xia was not involved, and he did not care about his injuries. He collected all the fragments of the Hongwu glaze bowl with lotus patterns, put them back into the original brocade box, and took them to the company first.  Broken porcelain can also be sold after being repaired, but the value will be greatly reduced, which is dozens or hundreds of times different from that of complete porcelain.

    After a while, Wang Chao and Zhang Jie came back in despair. They did not catch up with the kid just now. He ran fast with a skateboard. When they caught up, he turned left and right and disappeared.

    "I'm really sorry, we didn't catch up." Wang Chao apologized to Zhou Xia, with more sympathy in his eyes.

    But Zhou Xia still thanked them politely.

    Not being able to find a child means that Zhou Xia has to bear the responsibility himself. He is a simple man from a rural area. His salary is only more than 3,000 yuan a year after graduation and his savings are less than 10,000 yuan. How can he get a huge sum of 5 million yuan?  The money comes.

    Zhou Xia stared intently at the broken Hongwu underglaze red bowl, feeling as if a thousand-ton mountain was weighing down her heart.

    He originally didn't believe in God, but at this time, he had to make do with it. Guanyin Bodhisattva, Jade Emperor, Queen Mother, Tathagata Buddha, and Christ Jesus were all bothered by him, begging them for advice or simply performing miracles.  Restore this piece of porcelain worth five million to its original appearance.

    It's a pity that after all the gods prayed, he didn't receive any response. Zhou Xia simply got angry and even threatened future generations, "Good people really don't get rewarded! If you don't help, you will never think about it again."  He¡¯s born! I¡¯ll be a bachelor for the rest of my life!¡±

    Still no reaction at all!

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? away out of love?  It is said that it is better to seek help from others than to ask for yourself, so Zhou Xia had no choice but to give up praying to God and worship Buddha, and instead started thinking about how to earn the five million.

    If you want to get rich suddenly, in the field of antiques and cultural relics, picking up leaks is the most talked about and widely circulated method, but the difficulty of it is simply much more difficult than winning the lottery.  Anyway, Zhou Xia was admitted to the Department of Archeology of Donghai University four years ago and came to Donghai City. He often wandered around the antique market and never found anything missing. He still studied this professionally.  After graduation, he went to work at Tiandi Art Auction Company because he wanted to accumulate practical experience. He did gain a lot of knowledge and even handled many authentic works personally.

      But besides picking up leaks, is there any other way to earn these five million?

    Zhou Xia thought about it so much that her head hurt, but she still couldn't think of any other good way.  The only thing he can do is to work hard to learn the knowledge of antique cultural relic identification and go to the antique market more often. If he is lucky enough, he may be able to find something missing and one day he can successfully pay off his debt.

    Suddenly, Zhou Xia heard a cold voice, "The antique identification system was successfully started."

    Zhou Xia was immediately startled, but he looked around and no one was talking to him!  He almost suspected that this was his imagination.

    "Congratulations to the host for acquiring basic skills and identifying the age of cultural relics." It was still the cold and emotionless voice, but this time he finally understood it, and the voice spoke directly to him in his mind.

    "Could it be that my prayers worked!" Zhou Xia suddenly felt like a pie had been hit on his head, which also made his extremely depressed mood suddenly reach its peak.  In an instant, it is no exaggeration to say that I went from hell to heaven.

    For Zhou Xia, who was born in the Department of Archeology, such an archaeological identification system is exactly what he needs, and his basic skills are quite good, such as identifying the age of cultural relics.  This is a good skill. It means that he can identify any cultural relic. It is just a basic skill. I wonder what more advanced skills will be like?

    He had just smashed a large Hongwu underglaze red bowl with lotus pattern worth five million. He was so worried about it that he even thought, "Can I replace the function of identifying the age of cultural relics with the function of restoring cultural relics first?"

    The system responded to him, ¡°After identifying and collecting 100 precious cultural relics, you can unlock the next skill.¡±

    Zhou Xia thought to himself that the unlocking conditions were really a lie. No, it should be a lie to his ancestors. At this time, he was roughly sure that this system was sent to him by his descendants, and the gods and Buddhas in the sky did not have such high technology.

    The most important thing in life is to be content and happy. Being too greedy is not good.

    Zhou Xia quickly adjusted his mentality. Now that he has the basic skills to identify the age of cultural relics, he can go to the antique market to pick up missing pieces. The five million he previously thought was unattainable is no longer so out of reach.  As for identifying and collecting a hundred precious cultural relics and unlocking the next skill, this is the real challenge.
