Rebirth 81: Being forced into marriage by my sister’s best friend at the beginning

in the venue.There are some small round tables and chairs placed randomly.

"This is the venue for the tasting party. You can take your time here." After the woman finished speaking, she bowed and left the venue.

It turns out that this is the home court, and the outside is just the lobby.

There are already some people sitting around the table here. Their expressions are calm and composed, and they look like people who have seen the world.

There is no doubt that those who will be invited to this venue are all elites in the circle.

Looking around, if these were the top bosses in the capital and surrounding areas, Lin Ran really didn't know many of them.

But what surprised him was that he actually saw Ke Yu here, as well as the man she just called Master Jin.

Lin Ran met the two's eyes, and Lin Ran smiled and nodded.

Not only did I see Su Xuelin, Wu Baitao and others.

The venue is not big, but it is just right for these people.

And he noticed his surroundings.

Small tables like school desks are placed all around, with various antiques placed on them.

There are calligraphy and painting, and jade carvings.

You can even see an ancient halberd.

"Can you bring this in?" Lin Ran felt a little surprised.

Small but complete.

The venue was not large, but the variety of cultural relics inside was dazzling. The quality had not been appraised by myself, so it was difficult to draw a conclusion. But seeing the pomp of the people present, Lin Ran felt that it was definitely not simple.

The conference hasn't started yet. Everyone is sitting in their own seats and chatting with the people around them.

Lin Ran couldn't help but asked curiously: "Why do so many people come to participate?"

Mr. Xu smiled softly after hearing this.

"Lin Ran, what do you think it is for?" He did not answer directly, but threw the question back to Lin Ran.

Of course, Lin Ran couldn't understand. If Mingyue Villa was for brand marketing, it would be understandable to gather so many people in the antique circle.

But their reputation in the capital has almost reached its peak, so there is no need for further marketing.

"Is it an auction?" Lin Ran said.

At this moment, a person shouted: "Everyone is just idle here, why don't you take out your things and let's take a look together."

A middle-aged man who looked to be 40 years old and had a beard said that it was understandable that he was a Liangshan hero, but it was really difficult to connect him with a collector.

Of course, no one in the venue was willing to pay attention to him.

Everyone comes for different reasons, but they definitely don’t come to show off their collections.

The strong man continued: "Young master still has some things to do, so let's start by ourselves first."

How high can such a person's level of antique appraisal be?

Naturally no one took it to heart.

However, at this moment, Jin Xi suddenly stood up.

"Anyway, it's idle time. Let's have some fun."

Jin Xi seems to have quite a status among these people. The strong man shouted before, but no one paid attention to him.

Jin Xi spoke, and several people next to him laughed.

Lin Ran naturally didn't take it seriously, but when he raised his head, he saw Jin Xi's own eyes full of hostility.

Of course he knew what was going on, but it wasn't him who had the final say in this kind of thing.

So I pretended not to notice, lowered my head and drank my tea.

Unexpectedly, he stood up directly and said: "In the end, we are just ordinary collectors. Compared with the real big guys, there is still a difference."

"Master Jin, this is wrong." An older man said, "Collectors are all equal, how can there be any big boss?"

If anyone else had said this, they would have been laughed at, but in front of them was Cangzhou's Collection No. 1, named Zhou Xuelin.

He said that everyone was equal and everyone else was elevated, so naturally it was difficult to answer the question.

Jin Xi cupped his hands and said, "What Mr. Zhou said is absolutely true, but you seem to have forgotten one thing."

"What's the matter?"

"What we collect is within the limits allowed by the state, but there is a big boss here, and the collection he owns is definitely above us."

"Who?" Zhou Xuelin's eyes suddenly became sharp. He was not willing to be inferior to anyone.

"That's Tang Lanxuan, the director of the Palace Museum." Jin Xi smiled and raised his hand.

Everyone looked at Lin Ran's table.

Lin Ran immediately noticed his evil intentions.

Neither Tang Lanxuan nor Mr. Xu likes to show off.

"It turns out he is the curator of the museum. The collection is indeed different from ordinary people." Zhou Xuelin said.

The collection levels are not on the same level.

Tang Lanxuan immediately said: "My friend, what you said is wrong. All the cultural relics in the museum are national cultural relics and have nothing to do with my collection."

No matter how good the treasures in the museum are, they have no direct relationship with Tang Lanxuan.

Jin Xi said this just to create trouble on purpose.

Lin Ran's expression also became serious. Based on his understanding of this kind of rich kid, he should start to cause trouble.

"Director Tang is so humble." Jin Xi smiled and continued, regardless of Ke Yu's objection, "I think there is no one more qualified to host today's tasting party except Director Tang."

"Little brother, you understand wrong." Tang Lanxuan replied with a smile: "I just have some experience in managing museums, and I have never organized such a commercial activity. Let's wait for Wen Ya to come."

At this time, the bearded man spoke again.

"That won't work. I, Chang Zheng, have never convinced anyone, but Director Tang is here today. If he hadn't presided over it, I don't think anyone would be qualified to do this."

Originally, I only came here for the tasting party, but I was suddenly thrust into the spotlight.

Tang Lanxuan smiled and said: "Thank you for your support, but Tang didn't bring anything today. He just came to watch the fun, so I ask for your support."

Tang Lanxuan knows how to behave and has given him enough steps.

Besides, his status is not ordinary, so others certainly don't dare to embarrass him.

But Jin Xi showed an expression as if his plot had succeeded.

Clearing his throat again, he said: "Director Tang's status is naturally not suitable for hosting this tasting meeting, but as the saying goes, great teachers make great disciples, and Director Tang's disciples must also be very capable."

After saying that, everyone's eyes turned to Lin Ran at the same time.

At first glance, Lin Ran is similar in age to Jin Xi, but everyone is not impressed by him.

If Lin Ran had been picking up the slack in Panjiayuan back then, he would have made a name for himself now, but he chose to quit and hide while his fame continued to rise.

Now in Panjiayuan, one can only hear about Lin Ran's past stories, but few people see Lin Ran himself.

But after Jin Xi said this, everyone knew that the young man next to Tang Lanxuan was his apprentice, Lin Xiaoma, who was also famous in the capital's antique market.

The bearded man said: "Is this the guy?"

As soon as these words came out, many people present frowned.

Although most people also have this idea in their hearts, they feel that Lin Ran is a bit too young.

But no one would take the initiative to say this, because it is too disrespectful.
