Chapter 99: Shocked Zhou Rou

“No seats!”

“The value of this painting is indeed 200 million yuan!” Su Yun replied.

Upon hearing this, Li Hu almost collapsed on the spot!

He was the former butler of this Villa No. 6. When Qian Hai was tidying up, he carefully checked the antique paintings and calligraphy in the basement several times. Each painting was confirmed to be worthless after repeated inspections.

And as soon as this new boss arrived, he directly discovered a painting worth 200 million yuan!

The house itself was only 25 million yuan. This instantly equated to eight villas!

Li Hu couldn't help but gasp. Su Yun’s eyesight was too terrifying!

Just a few glances, and he could directly discern the value of this painting... “Li Hu, do you think I should tell Boss Qian Hai about this?” Su Yun looked at Li Hu and asked.

“This...”

“Boss, the contract clearly states that this painting belongs to you. Even if you tell Boss Qian, the painting will not belong to him...”

“If you tell him, it might even make him overthink...” Li Hu knew in his heart that Su Yun was his current boss. He naturally wouldn't tell Qian Hai about this, inviting unnecessary trouble.

“Hmm.” Su Yun was very satisfied with Li Hu’s answer. He was principled and quick-witted.

“Let’s wait a bit. Elder Wang will be here soon,” Su Yun said.

About half an hour passed, and Elder Wang’s call came in. After Su Yun answered, he went to the villa’s entrance to greet Elder Wang.

Soon, an Audi A6 slowly drove up. After it stopped, an elder slowly got out from the back seat, while a young and beautiful woman got out from the driver’s seat.

“Little Friend Su, have you been waiting long?” Elder Wang said with a smile, glancing at Su Yun’s hands and noticing the painting wasn't there.

That's right, such an important item naturally couldn't be carried around casually.

“No, Elder Wang’s speed is already very fast,” Su Yun said with a smile.

“First, let me introduce you. This is my disciple, and also the most talented disciple I’ve taken in the antique world in recent years. If Little Friend Su has time, you can give her some pointers,” Elder Wang said, looking at the young woman beside him.

“Pointers are out of the question; we can exchange ideas,” Su Yun’s gaze then turned to the woman beside Elder Wang. She had a «N.o.v.e.l.i.g.h.t» very cold and arrogant demeanor, seemingly proud of her talent.

It was no wonder; even Elder Wang said she was a very talented young person, so she must have some pride in her heart.

“May I ask this lady’s name?” Su Yun asked.

“Zhou Rou!” Zhou Rou sized Su Yun up and down, not finding the unique aura of an antique expert in him. Besides being rich and handsome, he didn't seem to have any other distinguishing features.

Today, her teacher told her they were meeting a young man with extremely sharp eyesight. Zhou Rou had been looking forward to it, but upon meeting him in person, her expectations waned.

And for her teacher to say he should give her pointers, she truly couldn't understand.

For a moment, Zhou Rou felt a bit disappointed.

“My name is Su Yun.” Su Yun also stated his name, then looked at Elder Wang: “Elder Wang, if you don’t see this item with your own eyes, I really won’t be at ease.”

“Hahaha! With Little Friend Su’s eyesight, what is there to be uneasy about!” Elder Wang said, following behind Su Yun towards the villa. At the same time, he whispered to Zhou Rou beside him: “You are in for a treat today! This item today is a peerless treasure that you will rarely have the chance to admire up close in your entire life!”

Zhou Rou nodded. Although it was her teacher speaking, she still felt it wasn't reliable.

She had been in the business for five years and had admired countless treasures. What could possibly shock her now?

Very little!

She didn't know what was up with her teacher today, to be so excited.

Perhaps he was getting old?

Zhou Rou stopped thinking. She was a disciple, so she naturally couldn't make her teacher lose face. Even if she had questions, she would ask them later.

Soon, the two arrived in the villa’s living room. Beside a table in the living room, Li Hu was guarding it solemnly.

This was something worth 200 million yuan! He dared not be negligent.

“Boss!” Li Hu said upon Su Yun’s arrival.

“Hmm, Elder Wang, the treasure is on that table,” Su Yun said, pointing to the scroll on the table.

“Oh, oh.” Elder Wang appeared calm on the surface, but his heart was already incredibly excited. He took a deep breath and walked steadily, step by step, towards the scroll!

Zhou Rou followed closely behind him.

Soon, Elder Wang arrived in front of the scroll and observed it solemnly for a few moments.

“That... are you Elder Wang? I’ll help you open the painting...” Li Hu said, reaching out to open the scroll.

Seeing Li Hu’s outstretched hand, Elder Wang’s eyes instantly showed an anxious expression. He quickly extended a hand to block Li Hu!

“Stop!” At Elder Wang’s shout, Li Hu quickly retracted his hand, looking at Elder Wang with confusion, then at Su Yun.

He naturally didn't understand what this meant.

“Little friend, such an ancient painting cannot be opened so easily. Your hands will sweat, and if sweat gets on the painting, it will cause damage!”

“This is absolutely not allowed!”

Elder Wang said, then took out a pair of brand new, pristine white gloves from his pocket and very carefully put them on.

Then he slowly placed his hands on the scroll and, with very gentle force, slowly unrolled it!

Instantly, a scene unfolded before Elder Wang’s eyes. With just one glance, Elder Wang could determine that this painting was undoubtedly a genuine article!

At that moment, Elder Wang’s eyes sparkled with immense brilliance. The more he looked at the painting, the more exquisite he felt it was!

The physical object was ten thousand times more delicate than in the video. This ancient texture, this top-tier technique, surged forth as soon as the scroll began to unroll!

“What a painting! What a painting!”

“It truly is an exquisite masterpiece of a painting!”

“It’s rare in the world, wonderfully ingenious!”

Elder Wang exclaimed endlessly.

He inadvertently glanced over and saw Zhou Rou in a daze in front of such a great work. Elder Wang immediately became displeased, nudged Zhou Rou, and said:

“Disciple! Why are you not admiring this masterpiece!”

At Elder Wang’s shout, Zhou Rou finally snapped out of it. She had accidentally been thinking about the 7 million yuan calligraphy she saw yesterday and hadn't come back to her senses for a moment.

“Sorry, Teacher, I was distracted just now...” Zhou Rou said, still wondering what kind of masterpiece could be here. Could it also be a calligraphy masterpiece like the 7 million yuan one from yesterday?

Without thinking much, Zhou Rou looked at the painting. In that instant, her entire soul seemed to be drawn by something, and she instantly became dumbfounded!

She seemed to have seen the style of this painting somewhere before; it was very familiar. When she subconsciously saw the artist’s seal, her eyes widened immediately, and she pointed with trembling fingers, saying:

“This... this is... Tang Bohu’s authentic work!”
