After a series of ups and downs and gains, Huo Jilin realized that the antique shop's business was getting increasingly busy and the existing staff could no longer cope with it, so he decided to recruit new employees.

On this day, a striking recruitment notice was posted at the door of the antique shop: "This shop is sincerely recruiting employees, requiring a certain understanding and interest in antique identification, and preferential treatment." Once the news came out, it attracted many job seekers.

On the day of recruitment, the store was crowded. Huo Jilin, Hu Bayi, Wang Kaixuan and Liu Feishou sat behind the table, ready to go.

The first job seeker walked in, a young man who called himself Xiao Li.

Huo Jilin asked, "Young man, tell me about your understanding of antique identification."

Xiao Li said confidently, "I have been interested in antiques since I was a child. I often read related books and have been to many antique markets. I think the identification of antiques mainly depends on the material, craftsmanship and age characteristics."

Hu Bayi then asked, "Then tell us how to judge the age of a piece of porcelain?"

Xiao Li thought for a moment and replied, "You can judge from the glaze color, shape, bottom style and other aspects. For example, the glaze color of Song Dynasty porcelain is warm, and the shape of Yuan Dynasty porcelain is rough."

Wang Kaixuan smiled and said, "That makes sense. Then take a look at this thing." As he said, he took out a replica.

Xiao Li looked at it carefully for a while and said, "This is a fake. Although it is made very similar, there are still flaws in the details, such as the pattern is not fine enough."

Huo Jilin nodded slightly, "Not bad, but not accurate enough. Thank you, go back and wait for news."

Xiao Li left with some disappointment.

The next person to come in was a middle-aged man named Lao Zhang.

As soon as Lao Zhang entered the door, he began to brag about his experience: "I have been in this business for more than ten years. I have seen all kinds of treasures. It is a piece of cake to identify the authenticity."

Liu Fei handed him an antique: "Then take a look at this."

Lao Zhang took it in his hand, looked at it, and said: "This must be real. With this craftsmanship and this material, it can't be wrong."

Huo Jilin shook his head: "Sorry, you are wrong. This is a high imitation."

Lao Zhang blushed and walked away in disgrace.

Job seekers came in one after another, but none of them satisfied Huo Jilin and others.

At this time, Xiao Liu came in. Xiao Liu is a quiet girl and looks very calm.

Huo Jilin asked as usual: "Girl, tell me what you think about antique identification."

Xiao Liu said calmly: "I think identifying antiques requires not only knowledge and experience, but also keen observation and in-depth understanding of history and culture. Each antique carries information from a specific era, and we have to interpret it through details."

Huo Jilin's eyes lit up: "Well said, then take a look at this." He took out a jade.

Xiao Liu observed carefully for a long time, and made a detailed analysis from the aspects of jade quality, carving style to patina, and finally made an accurate judgment.

Hu Bayi said with satisfaction: "The little girl is good at it."

Then, Da Niuzi walked in. Da Niuzi is a simple and honest young man, but there is a sense of cleverness in his eyes.

Huo Jilin asked: "What about you, what are your skills?"

Da Niuzi scratched his head: "I don't have much education, but I have learned from my master for a few years. I can touch and look at it, and I have a rough idea in my mind."

Huo Jilin smiled and handed him a bronze ware.

Da Niuzi picked up the bronze ware, looked at it over and over again, and even knocked it against his ear, then said: "This thing is real, but there are some flaws that affect its value."

Huo Jilin and others looked at each other and smiled with satisfaction.

Finally, after some discussion, Huo Jilin decided to hire Xiao Liu and Da Niuzi.

Huo Jilin said to them: "From today on, you are employees of the store. I hope you work hard, learn more and ask more questions."

Xiao Liu and Da Niuzi nodded excitedly: "Boss, we will definitely work hard!"

From then on, the antique shop had two more capable assistants, and the business became more and more prosperous.

Huh!

The next day, the antique shop just opened for business and ushered in a group of ferocious debt collectors.

"Where is Da Niuzi? Let him come out to pay back the money!" A burly man in the lead shouted loudly, and several younger brothers behind him also followed suit.

Everyone in the store was startled by this sudden scene. Huo Jilin frowned, walked out and asked, "What's going on?"

The burly man glanced at Huo Jilin and said, "Are you the boss? Da Niuzi gambled with us and owed a lot of debts. If he doesn't pay back today, don't blame us for being rude!"

Huo Jilin's face was gloomy, and he turned back to look at Da Niuzi: "Da Niuzi, what's going on?"

Da Niuzi lowered his head, not daring to look Huo Jilin in the faceHe looked at her and said hesitantly, "Boss, I... I was confused for a moment and went to gamble a few times, but I didn't expect..."

Huo Jilin was furious: "You actually went to gamble! I repeatedly emphasized that people should be responsible, but you actually caused me such a big trouble!"

Da Niuzi knelt down with a plop and begged, "Boss, I know I was wrong, please help me, I will never dare to do it again!"

The debt collector said impatiently, "Stop talking nonsense, pay the money quickly, or we will smash this store!"

Huo Jilin took a deep breath, suppressed his anger and said, "How much he owes, I will pay it for him."

The big man stretched out a hand and compared a number: "Fifty thousand taels!"

Huo Jilin gritted his teeth: "Okay, I'll give it to you, but from now on, Da Niuzi will have nothing to do with you."

Huo Jilin asked someone to get the silver and gave it to the debt collector. The debt collector took the money and left cursing.

After everyone left, Huo Jilin pointed at Da Niuzi and said, "Da Niuzi, I helped you pay back the money because it was your first offense, but I cannot tolerate your behavior. You are fired."

Da Niuzi burst into tears: "Boss, please give me another chance. I really know I was wrong."

Hu Bayi also advised: "Boss, why don't you give him another chance?"

Huo Jilin shook his head firmly: "No, the country has its own laws, and the store has its own rules. If I let him go easily this time, how can I manage others in the future?"

Wang Kaixuan also said: "Da Niuzi, you really went too far this time. The boss has done his best."

Da Niuzi sat on the ground in despair, regretting: "It's all my fault. I was obsessed. I'm sorry to everyone and the boss."

Xiao Liu watched silently from the side, and his heart was full of emotion.

Huo Jilin said: "Go away, take care of yourself."

Da Niuzi stood up, bowed deeply, and then turned and left the antique shop.

The atmosphere in the store became very heavy. Huo Jilin looked at everyone and said, "Everyone should remember that people should have a bottom line and should not do anything illegal or the consequences will be disastrous."

Everyone nodded.

A few days later, a mysterious guest came to the store.

The guest was wearing a veil and his face could not be seen clearly. He took out an antique and said, "I heard that your store is very good at identifying antiques. Help me take a look at this thing."

Huo Jilin took the antique and looked at it carefully.
