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

Lin Ran thought to himself, it is true that those who don't know are not afraid. If he had given this book to Xiao Jun early, he would have died in an unknown place the next day due to his ability.

As the ancients said, it is a sin to hold a jade in your hands.

This is the case with this book. Other book owners hiding in the dark must be trying their best to get this book.

Zhu Yawen's words were just to comfort him. Lin Ran was sure that since he appeared on TV, the book owners or descendants must have put him on the list.

Everyone else in the venue was watching the fun, only Yan Hong looked ugly.

In fact, he is equivalent to Zhu Yawen, who is inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people.

Under the watchful eyes of many families, this incident happened to the Qilin Society, which made him lose face.

"Xiao Jun, I usually have a good impression of you, but I didn't expect that you would come to ruin Mr. Zhu's apprenticeship banquet today!"

"Yan Hong." At this time, Mr. Zhu coughed lightly and said in a deep voice: "Xiao Jun, you have worked diligently with me for more than ten years. I naturally know that your character is not bad, but you should also understand me. as a human being.”

"I accepted Chen Xing as my disciple, naturally because Chen Xing is more suitable than you to learn the secret of treasure appraisal."

Xiao Jun lowered his head and said: "Mr. Zhu, I haven't contradicted you for more than ten years, but this time, I don't accept it."

"Since you're not convinced, why don't you come and compete with Chen Xing?"

After Zhu Yawen said these words, Lin Ran almost spit out the water he drank. What is this, eating melon and eating it on his own head?

Originally, it had nothing to do with him. He, as the president, had the final say on who to accept as his disciple, and he didn't have to explain it to the people below?

As a result, he took the initiative to compete with him on Lin Ran's behalf.

Lin Ran couldn't refuse, and was completely put on the stand.

Yan Shiyu also echoed: "Yes, since you don't accept it, Chen Xing, just let him accept it until he accepts it!"

Seeing his daughter adding fuel to the flames, Yan Hong glared at him.

Yan Shiyu stuck out her tongue and whispered to her father: "I have never seen Chen Xing's level of treasure appraisal. What if Grandpa Zhu was deceived?"

"Shut up." Yan Hong really couldn't do anything to his daughter. He and Zhu Yawen had actually tested Lin Ran's level in private.

But no one else must know that.

"It's what I asked for!" Xiao Jun snorted coldly, "But since it's a competition, you have to make some bets, right? If Chen Xing loses, then Mr. Zhu, can you accept me as your disciple?"

Zhu Yawen couldn't help but shook his head: "Xiao Jun, do you know the rules of Qilin Sect?"

"Of course I know that at the gambling table, you have to give corresponding chips." Xiao Jun stood up, "Becoming Mr. Zhu's apprentice means giving up the position of store manager of Qilin Bao Pavilion. I am willing to use this Make a bet.”

Qilin Pavilion?

Lin Ran felt very high-class when he heard the name. Yan Hong explained from the side: "Qilin Bao Pavilion is the largest jewelry store under the Qilin Association. It brings more than 500 million yuan in revenue to the association every year. Xiao Jun has always been in charge of it. "

More than 500 million?

Although it is in Hong Kong dollars, a rough calculation shows that there are more than 200 million Chinese dollars!

How could such a beautiful job be used for gambling?

Lin Ran sighed and thought to himself: "Let's live a good life, but I have to come and grab this book. Mr. Zhu doesn't accept you as his disciples because he is protecting you!"

Zhu Yawen stopped talking. Xiao Jun turned to Lin Ran and said expressionlessly, "Chen Xing, do you dare to accept my challenge?"

As a guest, Lin Ran found it hard to agree and cast a questioning look at Zhu Yawen.

Zhu Yawen looked very disappointed and closed his eyes, "You are the only disciple of the new generation of Qilin Sect. You can handle the affairs of the juniors by yourself. I will not interfere."

If it was just a comparison of treasures, Lin Ran would never be afraid of anyone.

"Okay, I accept your challenge."

Lin Ran stood up slowly and spoke these words clearly.

The guests in the audience applauded: "Okay, this is what the apprenticeship banquet should be!"

While applauding, Chen Qi asked Chen Zhifei in a low voice: "Dad, if he is so arrogant, will his true identity be found out?"

"I have already arranged it for him. Even if we check it in the system, he is still the seventh young master of the Chen family."

"Oh! He's my brother." Chen Qi said with a smile, he could take advantage of Lin Ran in the future.

As soon as the challenge was raised, some people who were not interested in the world said goodbye. Only the three major families and their cronies were left.

The content of the competition is naturally treasure appraisal.

However, for treasure appraisal experts like them, it is too trivial to use the methods in TV shows to determine the outcome.

The guests were no longer in the mood to eat. They were invited to stay in the courtyard and look around, waiting for Yan Hong to bring the test questions.

Lin Ran finally got a moment of rest and walked around in the garden.

Seeing no one around, he quietly took out the "Secret Technique of Treasure Appraisal".

When I opened the book and took a look, I found that this book was indeed different from other treasure appraisal books.

Most of the books teach the observation of words and expressions, which is also the basic operation in antique treasure appraisal. Lin Ran has used this set of techniques to conduct appreciation work in the National Museum of China for decades.

Looking at this book again, the content of Chapter 1 actually teaches him how to distinguish the smell of antiques, and even what the smell of old fakes is, how to identify it, and how to put aside the miscellaneous smell...

Lin Ran was fascinated by what he read. The contents were a new world for him.

If these technologies can really be realized, they will be much more powerful than instrument detection.

Just when he was about to read the content in detail, someone suddenly tapped him on the shoulder, waking Lin Ran up from his daze.

Lin Ran turned around suddenly and saw that it was Chen Qi.

Chen Qi was also startled by Lin Ran's actions, and then saw the book in Lin Ran's hand. His eyes lit up and he said, "Teacher, can I borrow that book for my disciple to read?"

"No." Lin Ran flatly refused and stuffed the book back into his clothes.

No wonder this suit of clothes was prepared for him, with a pocket inside specifically for books.

"Why? I also want to see the legendary "Secret Technique of Appraisal of Treasures"." Chen Qi was reluctant and started to act like a young master again.

Lin Ran scolded him: "Did you not learn anything I taught you? Do you still want to learn from me?"

Chen Qicai stopped fighting and said, "I'm sorry, I'm just curious."

Then he smiled and said to Lin Ran: "Teacher, what's interesting in the book? You've been standing here for half an hour. I thought you were reading some special magazine."

Lin Ran was startled and asked, "Have I been standing here for half an hour?"

He felt that he had only read the general outline of Chapter 1. With his photographic memory, he could not remember the contents of the book and could only tell the general outline.

What was even more surprising was that he only read it for less than 5 minutes. He was worried that other people would notice the book, so he deliberately chose a hidden location.
