- Chapter 141 Misunderstanding
The weather forecast was sometimes accurate, but the weather outside looked wrong and the wind was blowing so loudly that it could be heard in the house, so Zhou Xia and Liu Yuqing went home early. . .
Zhou Xia was walking very fast. Not long after he arrived home, he saw lightning and thunder outside, and then it started pouring rain.
"It seems that the plan to go out tomorrow has also been ruined."
Zhou Xia muttered secretly.
"However, he doesn't have to worry about having nothing to do.
Even while staying at home, he can learn about things outside through many channels.
After going home and washing up, he saw that it was still early. He had originally been surfing the Internet, but after thinking about it, he decided not to do it. There was thunder and lightning outside, and it would be troublesome if the cat and the network card were struck by lightning.
Fortunately, there is an auction catalog at home, so he can look through it and deepen his impression. The more preparations he can make for the upcoming autumn auction, the better.
There must be a lot of good things at the auction, but this also made him feel more and more regretful. After all this trouble, he didn't have much money in his hand.
Although Zhou Xia had anticipated this situation, he still had no good solution.
According to Xu Yaohui's view, instead of waiting for those illusory opportunities at auctions, it is better to seize the existing opportunities and buy the authentic products of your choice.
However, if Zhou Xia is really allowed to be a mere spectator at such an annual autumn auction, he still feels quite unwilling to do so.
But Zhou Xia couldn't think of a good way to get the money, so he could only figure it out slowly.
Zhou Xia was sitting on the sofa, flipping through the auction catalog, when his cell phone rang. He took it over and saw that it was his junior sister Su Xiaoru calling.
Zhou Xia answered the phone and asked her how she was doing these days and why she suddenly wanted to call him.
Su Xiaoru smiled and said, "It's okay. What's the matter? Can't I call you if nothing happens?"
"Of course, I just feel a little strange." Zhou Xia quickly stopped mentioning it, "Have you read any information these days?"
Su Xiaoru said yes. Anyway, she is a senior now and has plenty of time. Even if she doesn¡¯t go to class, it doesn¡¯t matter.
After chatting for a while, Su Xiaoru explained what she meant and asked Zhou Xia, "Senior Brother Zhou, are you free tomorrow?"
"I don't have any plans for tomorrow. What's the matter, do you want to come over and study the auction catalog together?" Zhou Xia was thinking about whether it would be better not to go out on this rainy day. It would be perfect if you can stay at home with peace of mind and have someone to cook and eat.
"It's like this. Several classmates in our class plan to go shopping in the antique city tomorrow, and they asked me to go with them. I'm embarrassed to refuse. I think they really plan to go out and buy something, so I want to invite them. Senior Brother Zhou, I don¡¯t know if it¡¯s convenient or not. I also know that this request is too much, but I can¡¯t stop them.¡± Su Xiaoru said with some anxiety.
"It doesn't matter. I don't have anything to do tomorrow anyway, so I might as well go to the antique city. Are you planning to go to that antique city? I looked at the weather forecast and it might rain tomorrow. If you want to go out for a walk, it might not be possible on a rainy day. It¡¯s so suitable.¡±
"Yes, we went because it rained. Otherwise, everyone would have been busy with their own affairs."
¡°Okay, let¡¯s meet outside the Antique City then.¡±
"Okay, thank you, Senior Brother Zhou!" Su Xiaoru said sincerely.
Zhou Xia smiled, "Why are you so polite to me? See you tomorrow."
After Su Xiaoru hung up the phone, Zhou Xia thought about the matter carefully.
This is actually not difficult to explain.
Because Zhou Xia also experienced something like this when he was the same age as them.
What do you think? After studying this major for so long, I didn¡¯t have many opportunities to go to the antique city, let alone buy things. I am about to graduate now, and I may never work in this major again from now on. It is good to get together and join in the fun.
Zhou Xia can understand these mentality, so he readily agreed.
As a student, I don¡¯t have much money, so it would be even more heartbreaking to buy any fake products.
These things did not affect Zhou Xia's mood much. Soon, he continued to fight against the auction catalog. Try to get those high-quality and low-priced items at the autumn auctions.
After it was time to go to bed, Zhou Xia went to bed.
However, he forgot to turn off his alarm clock, and by four in the morningWhen the clock struck, Zhou Xia was woken up.
Hearing that it was still raining heavily outside, Zhou Xia turned off the alarm clock and lay down to sleep for two more hours.
Then get up early, wash up and make breakfast.
There was no thunder now, so he went online to check some information.
Nowadays, there are quite a lot of resources online, and auction records from many years ago can also be found.
Of course, if you want to see it pleasing to the eye, the auction catalog is more direct. The pictures are clear and large, and it will not hurt the eyes so much.
Zhou Xia remembered Liu Yuqing¡¯s promise to collect all the previous auction catalogs and store them in the company. When the time comes, he can just go to the company to browse them.
But there are some advantages to checking online, that is, you can check the transaction price of the auction, which is not available in the auction catalog. Unless someone specifically marks it for you later.
In addition, Zhou Xia can also learn about the recent market conditions, various events in the antique collection world, the latest fake information, various information, etc. through professional collection websites.
Now, Zhou Xia looked east and west, and time flew by quickly.
When it was almost nine o'clock, Zhou Xia packed up and got ready to go out.
It¡¯s still raining heavily outside.
??????????? This rain really came at the wrong time.
Usually on weekends, when the ghost market has the most customers, many antique dealers from out of town go all the way to Donghai. The market here is big, things are easy to sell, and it¡¯s not easy for anyone to do this.
"Looking at the rain, this morning's ghost market has come to nothing.
Some smart people, if they don¡¯t want to go back like this, may change the battlefield and set up stalls in the antique city.
In addition to the fixed shops, the Antique City on the East China Sea also has a flea market-like place. The top floor is also the most popular place.
Although it is impossible to move all the vendors in the ghost market, you need to apply for qualifications for the flea market in the antique city.
But some dealers with channels will still get through. Even if you partner with others and share a stall, it doesn't matter, as long as you can sell things. Some dealers operate in ghost markets and flea markets together.
Zhou Xia was also thinking about this, and he felt a little regretful that he could not go to Chenggui Market in the morning. Staying at home is boring, so it would be better to go to the antique city.
When Zhou Xia held an umbrella and arrived at the gate of the antique city, Su Xiaoru and the others arrived within a few minutes.
Su Xiaoru wore warmer clothes today, wearing a sweater and jeans. After all, after the rain, the weather gradually became cooler.
"Senior Brother Zhou, I'm sorry to keep you waiting for so long!" Su Xiaoru said sorry as soon as they met.
Zhou Xia smiled and said, "You don't need to be so polite with me. I just arrived, so you don't want to introduce me."
Su Xiaoru chuckled, and then introduced several of her classmates to Zhou Xia.
¡°Besides Su Xiaoru, there are two other men and two women.
??A tall boy, about 1.8 meters tall. The one who looks richer is named Gao Ming. His clothes are all famous brands. When he talks, he feels arrogant and a little frivolous, and he doesn't look very reliable. But Zhou Xia didn't care. No matter how good his family conditions were, it was nothing in his eyes.
Gao Ming is actually not Su Xiaoru¡¯s classmate. He studies history and is also Su Xiaoru¡¯s classmate. Another pretty girl is Chen Tingting¡¯s boyfriend.
There is another girl named Xie Xiaoling. She is relatively ordinary in appearance, but has a sweet mouth. I don¡¯t know if Su Xiaoru told her about Zhou Xia. She calls her ¡°senior fellow apprentice¡± very smoothly.
Chen Tingting and Xie Xiaoling are both in the same dormitory as Su Xiaoru. The girls often go out to taste delicious food together. This visit to the antique city can be regarded as a group activity in their dormitory.
The other boy is shorter, only about 1.6 meters tall. His name is Zuo Guohua. He is their classmate and a fellow and good friend of Xie Xiaoling. He is relatively kind-hearted. Judging from his dress, his family is not particularly rich, so his aura is much weaker than Gao Ming's.
Zhou Xia greeted them one by one, and then they headed towards the antique market on the third floor.
With such a huge team, it is impossible not to attract attention.
Fortunately, there were many people shopping for antiques on this day, so it didn¡¯t appear to be particularly conspicuous.
Gao Ming and Zuo Guohua fell at the back, while Chen Tingting and Xie Xiaoling walked arm in arm at the front, but you twoYan Wo asked about Zhou Xia's situation from time to time and made insinuations, as if he wanted to get some confirmation from him personally.
Before coming, Su Xiaoru also told them about Zhou Xia's general situation.
However, both girls refused to believe that Zhou Xia had already received an annual salary of one million yuan just two years after graduation.
This makes them feel so embarrassed. Now the work of several of them has not been really implemented. Even if they find a job, it is quite good to get three or four thousand a month.
As people who share the same dormitory with Su Xiaoru, they naturally see all of Su Xiaoru's changes during this period.
However, they all felt that what she had done, which was to guarantee that she would be sent to the auction company just now when she started to get involved in calligraphy and painting appraisal, was somewhat unreliable, and they advised her to be mentally prepared as soon as possible. Don't go all the way. You must know that this is the right time to find a job. If you delay it any longer, it will become harder to find a job.
As soon as they met, they felt that there was something wrong with Zhou Xia. How could someone with an annual salary of one million dress in such shabby clothes? The clothes Zhou Xia is wearing now are ordinary shopping mall clothes, which are even more expensive than clothes that are not very sophisticated.
Although they don¡¯t want to label Zhou Xia as a liar, judging from the current situation, this is very likely.
They felt that as Su Xiaoru's roommate and good friend, they had been together for three or four years, and they had the responsibility and obligation to help her identify the liar, so that she would not be deceived, risk her future, and maybe end up in a situation like a prostitute. .
Chen Tingting and the others could clearly see him, and Su Xiaoru's admiration for Zhou Xia, the way her eyes lit up when she talked about it, made them feel worried. She was obviously obsessed with him, as if everything Zhou Xia said was correct and she would do whatever he asked her to do. This was the worst thing.
So, they planned this, with the excuse that they were all going to the antique city to see if there was anything they liked, and if so, they would buy it, and maybe they could find something missing. In fact, I wanted to take this opportunity to inspect Zhou Xia personally.
It¡¯s just that they were unified in advance and hid better.
Su Xiaoru did not realize this, and she did not tell them everything. That day, she, Zhou Xia, Xu Yaohui and the others went to buy paintings. In a short period of time, they made tens of thousands of yuan through flip-flopping. Su Xiaoru didn't talk about it. She felt that it was Zhou Xia's private matter and it was not good to use it everywhere to publicize him. How much money he makes, it is revealed that his annual salary is one million, which is already very unusual.
Zhou Xia felt a little strange, because the two junior sisters asked very detailed questions.
But he didn¡¯t think too much about it. He just thought that they wanted to know more about the situation in the auction company and hoped to work in the auction company after graduation.
They are both junior sisters in the same school and good friends of Su Xiaoru, so Zhou Xia gave the most detailed answer. I hope I can give them some help within my ability. Of course, it is unrealistic for him to help them like he helped Su Xiaoru. First, everyone's talents are different, and Zhou Xia is not familiar with them; secondly, Zhou Xia's time and energy are very limited, and helping Su Xiaoru like this is already his limit.
Chen Tingting and Xie Xiaoling also exchanged glances from time to time. They couldn't get anything particularly useful from Zhou Xia's mouth.
The Tiandi Auction Company he works for does exist and is quite famous in the East China Sea. He answered all the detailed questions in an orderly manner without any mistakes. At least, the two of them couldn't find it.
But this is not enough to dispel their doubts. They know that the highest level of lies is nine truths and one lie.
As the saying goes, "Whether it is a mule or a horse, you will know it by pulling it out."
Since Su Xiaoru said that he is a senior appraiser of Tiandi Auction Company, it will definitely not be a problem to appraise these little things on the antique market.
It is most appropriate to use something in this area to examine his level.
If they are lucky and encounter good things, they might even be able to miss them, then they will be even happier.
Zhou Xia didn¡¯t know what they were planning in their hearts. Even if he knew, he would laugh it off. Anyway, he sits upright, walks upright, and has a clear conscience.
After a period of experience, Su Xiaoru's horizons have broadened a lot. She doesn't look down on the trivial things in the antique market. Her top priority is to try her best to improve her calligraphy and painting appraisal skills.
It¡¯s just that she couldn¡¯t refuse the roommate¡¯s invitation, which led to the current situation. (To be continued. - Didn't finish reading?
