Chapter 157 Finding Clues

The reason why Zhou Chen came to see Wang Kai today was mainly because when he returned to Jinling, he heard his buddy Dai Yong mention it.

It's just that he didn't expect that the other party recognized him just after meeting.

"Have we met before?"

Looking at the smiling strange man across from him, Zhou Chen questioned.

Wang Kai waved his hand, his small eyes suddenly narrowed, he laughed and said, "No, but I know you, to be precise, I have seen you."

What the other party said made Zhou Chen even more confused.

Before Zhou Chen could ask a question, Wang Kai took the initiative to confess, "I watched your live broadcast, and even gave you a gift!"

"Ah?" Zhou Chen was surprised, and even couldn't believe his ears. He paused for a while, and asked, "Really?"

Wang Kai took a step forward and said proudly: "Of course it's true. I followed you in Tiger Shark a long time ago, Lord Kai of Beijing, do you still have an impression?"

Hearing this, Zhou Chen believed it.

He had a little impression of the ID of Master Kai of Beijing, but he hadn't seen this ID in the live broadcast room recently, so he remembered it a little vaguely.

"I'll go, I really didn't expect to meet the water friends in the live broadcast room."

Compared to Wang Kai, Zhou Chen was even more shocked at the moment.

"Hahaha, I didn't expect that either!"

Wang Kai laughed out loud, and then made a gesture of invitation, "It's not convenient to speak here, please!"

Everyone followed Wang Kai and entered the inner room of the shop.

"This was originally the storeroom of the shop, but I later changed it into a tea room. Come, everyone, sit down wherever you want."

Wang Kai stretched out his hand for a gesture, and then began to make tea.

Zhou Chen found that although the tea room was not big, it was of extraordinary style.

The decoration of the tea room combines Japanese and Chinese styles, and the mix and match is not confusing.

Perhaps it is because incense is often lit in the tea room, so even if there is no incense now, everyone can still smell a faint scent of sandalwood, which is refreshing.

Although it is beginning of spring, the weather in the north is still cold this season.

Compared with the outside, the temperature inside the tea room is pleasant and comfortable.

After brewing the tea, Wang Kai began to pour tea for everyone.

"Come on, have a sip of tea and warm yourself up."

Wang Kai smiled.

Zhou Chen picked up the slightly hot teacup, put it on the tip of his nose and sniffed it lightly, and suddenly a faint fragrance of jasmine permeated his nasal cavity.

When the warm tea soup enters the mouth, the originally sleeping taste buds instantly become cheerful.

One sip, the tea soup is like a warm current, flowing down the throat, warming the whole body, and the nose and mouth are also swept by this fragrance.

"Good tea."

After a cup of tea, Zhou Chen couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

He Yourong and Tang Jie were also full of praise after drinking.

Wang Kai chuckled and said triumphantly, "We don't have anything else here, but there is never a shortage of good tea."

"I just heard from Lao Xue that you were looking for me, how did you know where I am?"

Wang Kai questioned.

"Dai Yong, he asked me to come to you."

Zhou Chen replied.

Hearing this, Wang Kai raised his thighs suddenly, "Hey, Yongzi, I thought it was Boss Han, but I didn't expect you to know each other. He and I are classmates. Don't you think it's a coincidence."

Wang Kai refilled another cup of tea for everyone, shaking his head with emotion.

"You know Bird...Brother Fei?"

Holding the teacup, Zhou Chen stopped in mid-air.

"Mr. Han, how can I climb high? I know Yoyo, but to be honest, we are really destined. It seems that last time they asked me to go to Longxing to inquire about your contract."

Wang Kai smiled and made another pot of tea.

"My contract?"

Zhou Chen was slightly taken aback when he heard that, but soon remembered the nasty things that the Longxing Guild had done.

"That's a coincidence," he murmured.

Chatted for a while.

Zhou Chen stated the purpose of this trip.

"I heard from Brother Yong, Brother Kai, you enjoy yourself in the antique circle. I have a fragment of ancient jade in my hand, so I would like to ask you to help me palm my eyes."

After he finished speaking, he took out the ancient jade fragments from his bag.

Zhou Chen has been inquiring about this fragment of ancient jade recently, so he hasn't given it to Han Xiaofei yet.

Wang Kai quickly waved his hands when he heard that, "Don't call me Brother Kai, I always call you 'Brother' Chen when watching the live broadcast, you are really 'Brother', I can't compare to you."

He paused, seemed to think of something, and suddenly said, "Well, you can call me Kaizi or just like Dai Yong and others, you can also call me Fatty."

Zhou Chen smiled, and didn't bother with addressing, "Okay, you can call me Xiaochen, and I'll call you Fat Brother, that's all right."

After he finished speaking, he did not pass the ancient jade fragment in his hand to the other party, but put the ancient jade on the tea table.

Wang Kai glanced at Zhou Chen, then glanced at the ancient jade fragments on the table, he smiled slightly, "Unexpectedly, you are also an expert."

The antique industry seems simple at first glance, but there are many ways to do it.

Expert merchants and collectors will not pass hand-to-hand antiques such as porcelain, jade, and jewelry that are easily damaged, but wait for the other party to place the item on a fixed object before picking it up for viewing.

The main purpose of doing this is to draw a clear line of responsibility.

If this is not done, once the two parties accidentally damage the collection during the delivery process, it will be impossible to determine the attribution of responsibility.

Zhou Chen's actions may seem subtle, but they are rules that only experts understand.

I heard that Zhou Chen just smiled and didn't reply.

Pointing to the fragments of ancient jade on the table, he motioned for the other party to check it out.

Wang Kai picked up the fragment of ancient jade and looked it over carefully.

During Zhou Chen's live broadcast, Wang Kai had seen this fragment of ancient jade.

However, during the live broadcast, Zhou Chen did not carefully show the ancient jade fragment in front of the camera, so this was the first time Wang Kai saw this ancient jade.

After watching for a while.

Wang Kai put the ancient jade back on the tea table.

"If I'm not mistaken, this should be a piece of ancient jade from the Warring States Period. Although the material of the ancient jade is average, the handcrafted micro-carving skills were very particular at that time. I guess this jade pendant probably came from a prince... "

Wang Kai was half-spoken, but suddenly stopped.

"What's the matter, Fat Brother?"

"You wait for me."

Wang Kai dropped a word, and hurriedly left the tea room.

Zhou Chen was in a daze, and He Yourong and Tang Jie didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in each other's gourd.

After a while.

Wang Kai ran back from the front hall in a hurry, still holding an old newspaper in his hand.

As soon as he entered the door, he laughed loudly, "Xiaochen, look what I found."

After receiving the newspaper, Zhou Chen was a little confused.

This newspaper is so old that even the paper has turned yellow.

Glancing at the time in the upper right corner, he found that it was a cultural relic journal from 6 years ago.

Zhou Chen glanced at the newspaper, and then at Wang Kai, but he still didn't quite understand.

Before he could ask a question, Wang Kai pointed to somewhere in the newspaper.

Following the direction pointed by the other party, Zhou Chen looked over.

He found out that it was a list of transactions in cultural relic auctions.

Zhou Chen's eyes moved down slowly.

After watching for a while, his eyes suddenly lit up.

"Two fragments of ancient jade from the Warring States Period!"
