    After sending Jin Duoduo away, Zhou Xia helped appraise two more collections. However, the technical content was not very high. They were basically fake at a glance and didn't take much effort.

    Then, seeing that it was getting late, he thought in his heart that this first day of his career as a senior appraiser was over!  Even though there are two fakes at the back, with Jin Duoduo¡¯s large yellow-green glaze jar from the Tang Dynasty, it¡¯s actually pretty good!

    Zhou Xia was thinking about going to Xu Zhendong¡¯s youngest son Xu Yaohui¡¯s antique store after get off work. For Xu Zhendong¡¯s sake, it was a good choice to store the Kangxi Rouge Red porcelain in his store.  Zhou Xia doesn't plan to take action on it for the time being, he has to tell Xu Yaohui about this.  The advantage is that you can build a reputation for it first, and it will be easier to operate later.

    "Mr. Zhou, you're here!" Ten minutes before getting off work, Yu Xiaoyu received Zhou Nanming, a regular customer of the company. After asking him clearly about his purpose, he took him directly to Zhou Xia.

    Naughty Yu Xiaoyu also secretly gave Zhou Xia a wink, asking him to handle it carefully.

    Zhou Xia could only smile bitterly, what¡¯s wrong with this!

    This time, Zhou Nanming can be regarded as his family member, so Zhou Xia naturally knows him.

    Zhou Nanming has long flowing black hair and looks like an "outstanding young artist".  Just looking at his style, he is much more artistic than the short-haired Zhou Xia. He is a typical literary young man.

    Zhou Nanming and Liu Yuqing are family friends, and they themselves are relatively well-known collectors. Donghai now runs a gallery specializing in modern art. It is no exaggeration to say that they are young and promising.  The gallery he runs also often cooperates with Tiandi Auction Company. Many modern art lots of Tiandi Auction Company were sent from him.

    It¡¯s just that, of course it¡¯s nothing. The problem is that Zhou Nanming has been pursuing Liu Yuqing, and everyone in the Tiandi Auction Company knows it.  As the man with the closest relationship to Liu Yuqing in the company, Zhou Xia often causes unnecessary misunderstandings. Zhou Nanming came to Zhou Xia specifically for appraisal this time, so there is naturally some deep meaning in this.

    That¡¯s why Yu Xiaoyu gave Zhou Xia a coded message to tell him to take care of himself.

    Zhou Nanming had dealt with Zhou Xia before. Although they didn't know each other very well, they were still familiar with each other. At this moment, Zhou Nanming also said to him politely, "I just heard from Xiao Yu that Zhou Xia is now employed as a senior appraiser.  So, I would like to congratulate you first! It shows that your vision and strength have been fully recognized by everyone."

    "Don't hit the smiling person," although Zhou Xia knew it very well. He might be looking for trouble. He first promoted himself very high, only to fall harder.  But at this time, Zhou Xia could only smile and express her gratitude, and said, "Everyone is willing to give me face, but I am very frightened in my heart, lest something goes wrong and I fail to live up to everyone's expectations, and I feel psychological pressure."  It¡¯s huge!¡±

    Zhou Nanming reached out and brushed the long hair hanging down by his ears, and said with a smile, "You don't have to do this. We all think highly of you and believe that you can go further in the position of senior appraiser.  It¡¯s not in vain that Yuqing recommends you.¡±

    "I will try my best. In addition, I have to thank you again for supporting me like this!" Zhou Xia didn't pay attention to what he said.

    When Zhou Nanming saw that he didn't answer, he continued, "Isn't it the autumn auction soon? Yuqing has been saying that it is difficult to collect the auction items. I am also worried about this! It happened that I received two paintings today.  I was thinking of sending it to the company. No, I¡¯ll bring it here. I heard that Teacher Zhou is very good at appraisal, would you like to give me a look first?"

    Zhou Xia quickly waved his hand and said, "Mr. Zhou, you are too flattering. I have no research on modern art at all, and I can't understand what the art is trying to express. You are an expert in modern art.  I am a much more experienced layman, so you have a much better say than I do about what kind of items you need to send for auction. Furthermore, the appraisal of this kind of modern art is not my responsibility. As you know, this aspect has always been  General Manager Liu is in charge."

    Zhou Nanming smiled and said, "Teacher Zhou, you are too humble!"

    Zhou Xia said, "What I said is the truth. I don't have any talent in this area, and I don't dare to do anything in front of Mr. Zhou."

    Zhou Nanming saw that he was very self-aware. After all, a person's energy is limited. If you are proficient in everything, you will only lose face.  And he said it very politely. Although there were some hints of using guns and sticks in it, he at least did not directly criticize modern art as something that is sensational and has no artistic connotation. It is already quite good.

    But Zhou Nanming came prepared, and immediately smiled and said, "Oh, I blame me for not making it clear just now. The two works I brought this time are not modern art, but ancient calligraphy and painting. This should be  It is within the scope of Teacher Zhou's appraisal, and I believe that it isTeacher Zhou¡¯s extraordinary appreciation ability can easily tell the difference between the authenticity and fake age. Otherwise, how could the company give Teacher Zhou and Master Xu the same treatment?  "

    No matter how stupid Zhou Xia is at this time, he should know that Zhou Nanming is here just to cause trouble, and he can't help but be more vigilant in his heart.  Of course, he has full self-confidence and the spirit of "I have the system in hand and I have the world".

    But on the surface, Zhou Xia felt that he should cooperate with him and let him sing a one-man show, which was not interesting.

    "Since Mr. Zhou said so, I have no choice but to put it on the shelves and express my personal opinions, but only as a reference. As for whether I can finally go to the auction to participate in this autumn auction, it still depends on Master Xu and Manager Liu.  What's the appraisal opinion?" Zhou Xia tried his best to find a way out and make sure there was no leakage.

    "Of course, this is also the appraisal of Teacher Zhou's new appointment today. I believe that Teacher Zhou will be able to make the most perfect appraisal so that everyone can be convinced." Zhou Nanming chuckled and nodded. He took this as Zhou Xia's a little bit.  It is a sign of guilt and timidity. It stands to reason that if a young man like him is really capable and holds such an important position as Chad, he should be confident, fearless, and anxious to express himself.

    Of course, Zhou Nanming would find it strange if Tiandi Auction Company really used Zhou Xia's opinion as the criterion for whether it can go to the auction.

    Seeing him nodding, Zhou Xia showed a look of relief, smiled and joined him, "Then, please Mr. Zhou, please take out the painting! I have always believed in Mr. Zhou's vision, and I am immersed in the collecting circle.  After such a long time, the products brought must be high-quality products, and they will definitely not use some fake products to deal with our auction company, Mr. Zhou said so!"

    Zhou Nanming heard that he had laid the blame for the counterfeiting on himself. He still had the leisure and calmness before, and quickly replied, "There is a mistake. In the current art market, no one dares to say it for sure."  I am 100% sure that I will not be an exception. That¡¯s why we need to discuss and communicate together to eliminate the false and retain the true!¡±

    During the exchange of words between the two, the astute Yu Xiaoyu had already quietly notified Liu Yuqing and Xu Zhendong to come over, but Liu Suifeng was not in the company.  Yu Xiaoyu watched him leave the company, and she secretly guessed in her heart that it was most likely Liu Suifeng who encouraged him to come over and mess with Zhou Xia, making him make a fool of himself on the first day of the appraisal.

    Liu Suifeng and Zhou Nanming have a pretty good relationship. Liu Suifeng has always been in charge of the modern art of Tiandi Auction Company, and Zhou Nanming is the largest supplier of auction items, so the two often hang out together.

    After Zhou Nanming saw Xu Zhendong and Liu Yuqing, he naturally didn't dare to act big.  He was waiting for two people, otherwise, what would be the point of just hitting Zhou Xia in the face without anyone watching, especially if Liu Yuqing couldn't see it.  He immediately returned to his usual gentle demeanor and greeted the two of them continuously.

    Liu Yuqing and Xu Zhendong also nodded.  Both of them knew the purpose of his visit. They just wanted to get two pieces of collection that were difficult to tell whether they were genuine or not to evaluate Zhou Xia's true level. It would be best to make him look embarrassed in front of everyone.  Especially in front of Liu Yuqing, if Zhou Xia is not good enough, he will not be able to identify the authenticity.  He can perform well. In this way, with the contrast, it will be easier for the beautiful woman to look at him differently, deepen the impression, and maybe win the beauty's heart.

    There is no reason for Zhou Nanming to miss such a good opportunity.

    " Moreover, Zhou Nanming's strength is in the appraisal of calligraphy and painting. He also inquired about Zhou Xia's situation.  Zhou Xia graduated from the Department of Archeology and may be very good in other areas, but if he could be compared with Zhou Nanming, who had been immersed in calligraphy and painting since childhood, he could only smile.

    Liu Yuqing naturally knew about these situations. She knew Zhou Xia's background, so she was a little worried.  But Zhou Nanming had calculated well and had already talked about this. Furthermore, if Zhou Xia was not allowed to do the appraisal, Zhou Xia would not be able to let go of his own dignity!

    Now, Liu Yuqing only hopes that Zhou Xia can use hundreds of percent of his own strength.  You know, she single-handedly promoted him. If he loses face, it means she also loses face.

    Liu Yuqing couldn't help but glared at Zhou Nanming angrily. Zhou Nanming, who was dizzy, couldn't understand such a simple truth.  He also tried to attack Zhou Xia to increase his favor with him. Who gave him the bad idea?  The answer was about to come out. Zhou Xia was promoted to senior appraiser and enjoyed the same treatment as Xu Zhendong. It was just announced in the company that Zhou Nanming got the news and rushed over to support him. In fact, it was a setback. Except for Liu Zhendong, who had a good relationship with him,  Sui Feng, who else could there be?

    Xu Zhendong watched with cold eyes, seeing Zhou Nanming being humble and polite, but unable to hide his proud look. He didn't even notice that Liu Yuqing's impression of him was a little lower.  Come to think of it, you have taken great advantages by using your own strengths to attack the other's weaknesses.??, but also in an attempt to win the favor of the beauty.

    Relatively speaking, Zhou Xia found it much more pleasing to the eye, although he was doubtful about his ability to identify ancient calligraphy and paintings.  But this guy is not stupid either. No matter what the outcome is, we must first find a way out.  And judging from Liu Yuqing's expression, no matter what the outcome, he is already invincible.
