“Who isn’t shocked? I’ve been here for so long, but this is the first time I’ve seen such a bold CEO. When he made a move, he directly took out 66 million yuan in cash to buy a calligraphy piece. He’s really a fan of calligraphy.”

“I heard that it’s Wang Xizhi’s real work. It’s not a loss for this CEO. There aren’t many real Wang Xizhi’s calligraphy pieces on the market now. Since he’s a CEO, he has a lot of connections. In the blink of an eye, he might earn more.”

“That’s possible, but this CEO is really bold. Is he really not afraid of spending 66 million to buy a high-quality imitation?”

“Look at what you’re saying. The other party has more than 60 million yuan in cash. His background must be not minor. How can a shop owner arm-wrestle with him? Even if he dares to buy it, the other party won’t dare to sell it.”

“That’s true. They won’t have the guts.”

Upon hearing this, Ninth Sister Ye Xue smiled and spoke.

“That might not be the case. If the background of a CEO can scare these traffickers, why are there still so many tomb robbers who sell expensive antiques that have a very important role in China. Are they so bold?”

Hearing this, the experts were stunned. They had indeed not noticed this problem and were momentarily at a loss for words.

Seeing this, Ninth Sister Ye Xue continued.

“Everyone, you’ve been negligent of the matters that occur outside the borders. Traffickers who sell large amounts of antiques usually transfer the money to a bank outside the borders after receiving it. Once they transfer the money, the money won’t be tracked by China. To be precise, it won’t be easy to track it back. There are many complicated procedures involved.”

“That CEO naturally understands this. Therefore, I think that this CEO is either bold or really has a deep understanding of calligraphy and paintings. That’s why he’s so confident and directly bought it with cash.”

Hearing this, all the experts came to a realization. They were deeply shocked by the words of the young and beautiful woman in front of them. They did not expect her to have such a deep understanding at such a young age. It made everyone feel inferior and ashamed.

At this moment, a young tycoon suddenly walked over from the side. He was wearing an expensive suit, a famous watch, and a pair of shiny leather shoes that were as bright as a mirror. His hair was short, and his appearance was average, but he looked very energetic.

This person was none other than the kid who sold the calligraphy piece.

As soon as he arrived, an expert behind him took a step forward and introduced him to everyone.

“Everyone, this is the young shopkeeper who sold a calligraphy piece at Panjiayuan Market just now.”

Hearing this, the experts quickly shook hands with the young shopkeeper enthusiastically and greeted him.

“I’m sorry, I’m sorry. Young Shopkeeper, you look heroic. One look and you can tell that you’re not an ordinary person. You’ll definitely have great achievements in the future.”

“Hello, Young Shopkeeper. You’re so young, but you’re able to sell a calligraphy painting worth more than 60 million yuan. I really admire your courage. You’re really an outstanding talent!”

“Young Shopkeeper, you’re indeed amazing. If it were an ordinary person, they really wouldn’t be able to sell this calligraphy piece. I admire you.”

After the experts and the young shopkeeper got to know one another, Ninth Sister Ye Xue went forward and cupped her fists at him. She introduced herself.

“Hello, Young Shopkeeper. My name is Ye Xue. I’m an archaeologist. I came to the Panjiayuan Market today to take a look.”

“Good name. My surname is Shi, and my name is Shi Kai. My English name is Mike. You can call me by my French name, Bob. Nice to meet you, Miss Ye Xue.”

Young Master Shi Kai smiled slightly, looking very handsome. However, when he said his English name and French name, Ninth Sister Ye Xue rolled her eyes in her heart. She didn’t know how old this self-introduction was.

After getting to know each other, Young Master Shi Kai sized up Ye Xue. His eyes wandered over Ye Xue’s appearance, as well as her chest, thighs, and feet. His eyes moved around, making Ye Xue feel disgusted. She could not have a good impression of him at all.

Just as she was about to bid farewell, she heard Shi Kai speak to Ye Xue in a tone that he thought was very polite,

“It’s rare to see you today. It’s fate that we met. Miss Ye Xue, why don’t we have a meal together?”

Although the words were reasonable, his tone always carried a hint of arrogance that made people uncomfortable.

Ninth Sister Ye Xue felt the same. From his tone, she felt even more disgusted with him. However, she still suppressed her smile and spoke to him.

“I’m sorry, but I still have to find my little brother and sisters to accompany my family. I won’t be able to. Thank you for your invitation.”

When Young Master Shi Kai heard this, the smile on his face froze like sour milk. Then, it collapsed and darkened.

His self-confidence was made from his abilities. His arrogance was based on his abilities.

He felt that his family was rich, and he had studied abroad at the French Royal Academy before. He had learned a lot about the culture of the nobles, as well as the environment and way of thinking there.

Now that he had returned to the country, he was superior to the men in the country in every aspect. He was a high-quality man among humans. He had never been rejected when he flirted with sisters outside. As long as he revealed his name and the fact that he was a rich second-generation heir, it had always been the girl who jumped into his arms. But now, this beautiful girl in front of him actually rejected him directly?

Wasn’t she just an archeologist? What gave her the right to be arrogant?

At the thought of this, Young Master Shi Kai was furious. Although he had been directly defeated, he could still tolerate this defeat because of Ninth Sister Ye Xue’s looks and figure.

Therefore, his mood gradually eased up under his self-comfort. While he was calming down, the surrounding experts looked at Ninth Sister Ye Xue and tried to persuade her with a flattering attitude.

“Miss Ye, it’s just a meal. It’s almost time for dinner, so you can just have a meal with the Young Shopkeeper. It won’t delay things. Moreover, the Young Shopkeeper is young and promising. It’s rare.”

“That’s right, Miss Ye. This Young Shopkeeper used to study abroad for many years. His family is also a big shot in antiques, calligraphy, and paintings. It’s not embarrassing to have a meal with the Young Shopkeeper.”

“Miss Ye, how is it? Why don’t you go for a meal?”

When Ninth Sister Ye Xue heard the experts’ words, she felt even more disgusted. She did not want to stay here for another moment.

At this moment, Young Master Shi Kai sorted out his emotions. He smiled and invited the beauty in front of him again.

“Yes, it’s just a meal. Miss Ye, please give me some dignity. It’s rare to get to know you, don’t you think so?”

That tone appeared again. Ninth Sister Ye Xue felt uncomfortable all over. For some reason, she felt especially disgusted. It was as if he, Shi Kai, had never noticed his own tone.
