Shang Zizhe was dissatisfied, and when he heard his father's words, his eyes widened. Asking him to apologize? This is harder than climbing to the sky. But seeing Shang Zizhe standing still, Shang Baochang slapped him in anger.

With a "bang", it hit Shang Zize's head heavily.

"Did you hear me? You misunderstood Mr. Zhou and said so many nasty things. Why don't you apologize sincerely? Otherwise, I will peel off your skin!"

These words were obviously said to Zhou Qi and done for him to see.

"Dad, who knew that the things he bought were so valuable? He didn't tell us earlier and kept us in suspense on purpose. He was clearly teasing us." Shang Zizhe defended.

There was another "pop!"

"You unfilial son, how dare you talk back!

Okay, you don’t want to apologize, right? From now on, you go home and reflect on yourself. When you figure things out, you can come out again. Otherwise, you will never come out again. I don’t have a son like you!” Shang Baochang roared.

Seeing this, Du Bowen stepped forward to persuade them...

Shang Baochang was serious about punishing his son Shang Zize, and his facial expression did not change at all.

Seeing his father's firm attitude, Shang Zizhe dared not despise him anymore. He understood that if he angered his father, the most terrible punishment would not be being locked up for reflection, but being cut off from his financial resources.

The days without money were the most painful for him.

So Shang Zizhe took a deep breath, bowed his head and said to Zhou Qi: "Mr. Zhou, I was wrong."

But Shang Baochang felt that his son's apology was not sincere enough, so he slapped him again and said sternly: "Louder! The apology must be sincere!"

This time, Shang Zizhe felt particularly ashamed. After all, he was no longer a child, but being scolded by his father in front of everyone made him feel extremely embarrassed.

However, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and say: “Mr. Zhou, I’m really sorry, I was wrong, I misunderstood you, I hope you can forgive me this time.”

Shang Baochang was slightly satisfied with this apology. He then turned to Zhou Qi and said with a smile, "Mr. Zhou, the main responsibility lies with me. We are all friends, and there is nothing we cannot say from the heart.

I admit that when you offered five million for that white bowl, I felt a little uncomfortable and misunderstood you..."

Then, Shang Baochang continued, "Your knowledge of antiques far exceeds my imagination, and I should not have looked down on you before.

You are a master, but I misunderstood your decision. I sincerely apologize to you here, and to express my sincerity, I will give you the two stores I won today plus two million as compensation."

Although Shang Baochang is not young, he humbled himself and apologized in public, which is a gesture of great kindness.

However, Zhou Qi saw through Shang Baochang's true face from this incident and knew that there would be no deeper relationship between the two.

Nevertheless, considering Shang Baochang's friendship with Du Bowen, Zhou Qi still behaved quite generously:

"Mr. Shang, you are too polite. Actually, I didn't do anything. I just wanted to buy those two antiques. As for the money, there is no need to mention it. I also took this opportunity to make some money."

There was an obvious sense of alienation in Zhou Qi's words.

Shang Baochang certainly heard the change in Zhou Qi's attitude and hurriedly explained: "Mr. Zhou, you are wrong to say that. If it weren't for your help, I would have been in trouble today."

After saying this, he immediately picked up the incense burner and snuff bottle he had won and handed them to Zhou Qi:

"Please accept these gifts. It is far from enough to express my gratitude to you. If you refuse, I really don't know how to face you."

At this time, Du Bowen also joined in: "Xiao Zhou, just accept it, otherwise I will be embarrassed to ask you for help in the future."

Du Bowen did this to help Shang Baochang save some face, and at the same time to maintain the friendly relationship between himself and Shang Baochang.

After all, Shang Baochang was not only his old friend, but also his important business partner and future relative-in-law.

We will have opportunities to cooperate in the future, so there is no need to make things too awkward.

Zhou Qi understood Du Bowen's good intentions. Since he had come to this point, it would be insincere to refuse. So he nodded and agreed: "In that case, I will accept it."

Then, he turned to the experts who were carefully studying the white porcelain bowl and asked softly:

"Teachers, I want to auction these things again. I wonder if you can help arrange it?"

These experts are well-known figures in the circle. They not only have close ties with the auction industry, but also have extensive networks of contacts.

Whether it was this white porcelain bowl, or those ancient coins, or anything else Shang Baochang had given him, Zhou Qi had no intention of keeping them.

As he said before, the origins of these antiques were unknown, and who knew how long they had been buried underground. He really had no interest in collecting them.

"Are you really going to auction this precious Ding kiln porcelain?" an expert asked in surprise. This porcelain is very rare and has a very high collection value.

In the opinion of experts, people like Zhou Qi, who are young but well-versed in this field, usually regard such treasures as priceless treasures.

Unless you are in great difficulty and need money urgently, you will never sell it easily.

However, Zhou Qi wanted to sell the things he had just obtained from the auction immediately, and he didn't seem to feel sorry at all.

"Yes, if possible, I hope to sign the consignment agreement now and let them participate in the next auction." Zhou Qi answered seriously.

Seeing Zhou Qi's sincere attitude, one of the experts said, "Okay, we will handle the appraisal procedures for you right away and notify the relevant person in charge. You can discuss the specific details further."

At this time, a well-dressed middle-aged man approached and said to Zhou Qi with a smile: "My friend, I am very interested in the ancient coins in your hand.

I just heard that you were planning to auction these treasures again, so I took the liberty to come and ask if you would be willing to transfer them directly to me? I can offer a high price, 250,000 yuan per piece, what do you think? "

Shang Baochang observed for a while and suddenly asked, "Excuse me, are you Mr. Fei Wenbo from Hai City?"

The middle-aged man turned to Shang Baochang and asked with a questioning smile: "Do you know me?"

Shang Baochang extended his hand politely: "I am Shang Baochang from Shang Jinyuan Jewelry. I had the honor of meeting Mr. Fei at the Jewelry Expo in Beijing last year."

"It's Mr. Shang. My apologies!" Fei Wenbo responded with a smile and shook hands with Shang Baochang.

Although he did not recognize Shang Baochang immediately, he was familiar with the name Shang Jinyuan - a well-known jewelry brand in Hangzhou.

Fei Wenbo politely responded to Shang Baochang's introduction, and then turned his attention to Zhou Qi again:

"Mr. Zhou, I really want to collect these ancient coins, not for resale.

If you are not satisfied with the price of 250,000 per piece, we can negotiate again as long as you are willing to transfer it. "
