Chapter 157 Familiar Battlefield (Subscription Request)
May 6, morning.

The clouds in the sky above the Magic City are very thick, like layers of gray cotton balls, piled on top of the tall buildings, completely blocking out the sunlight. The wind is howling, and the trees in the city are swaying violently. Occasionally, a few raindrops fall quietly, hitting the ground, making a slight sound.

Several heavyweights attended the Magic City Museum.

Li Zeguang, director of the Cultural Relics Bureau, Gao Qinglin, chief expert of the museum, Hu Shu, a celebrity in the antique circle, and many experts and staff were present.

Lin Chuan is also among them.

Today, Hu Shu donated three rare antiques to the Cultural Relics Bureau in the name of Lin Chuan as compensation for Lin Chuan's 'accidental damage' of the Qing Dynasty Chinese thin-bodied jade bottle with twined branches pattern.

The donation ceremony was a success.

Hu Shu patted Lin Chuan's shoulder with relief and said, "Xiao Lin, come out with me."

"it is good."

Lin Chuan nodded and followed Hu Shu to the corner of the museum.

Hu Shu, wearing a light grey gown, pushed up his glasses and looked at Lin Chuan, asking with concern: "Xiao Lin, how is the restoration of that cultural relic going?"

Lin Chuan raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Mr. Hu, it is almost finished and is expected to be completed within the next two days."

"good very good."

Hu Shu did not hesitate to praise him, and then smiled and said, "Xiao Lin, you have become a celebrity these days. Someone asked me to meet you."

Lin Chuan was slightly surprised and asked in confusion: "I am just an unknown person, why would anyone want to know me?"

"In order to shut up the netizens, the Cultural Relics Bureau released some on-site photos of you repairing the 'Qing Dynasty Chinese Entwined Branch Pattern Thin-Bodied Jade Bottle'. Now everyone in the antique circle in Shanghai knows about your ability to restore cultural relics. You are famous, so it's normal for people to want to get to know you," Hu Shu said with a smile.

Lin Chuan also smiled, and then asked: "Which master is that friend?"

Hu Shu put his arm around Lin Chuan's shoulder, turned around, and pointed at him: "Him."

Lin Chuan looked in that direction and frowned slightly: "Master Gao?"

"Correct."

Hu Shu nodded.

Lin Chuan laughed dryly and said awkwardly, "Mr. Hu may not know that when I first arrived in the Magic City, I had some differences of opinion with him on the identification of cultural relics."

"different opinions?"

A look of doubt appeared on Hu Shu's face.

Lin Chuan then told the story of "identifying the Taotie-patterned jar" when he first arrived in the Magic City.

"I see."

Hu Shu smiled and said, "When it comes to identifying cultural relics, everyone has different perspectives, so some disagreements are inevitable."

"That's true." Lin Chuan said with a smile.

Hu Shu patted Lin Chuan on the shoulder again and said, "Xiao Lin, you should look forward. Gao Qinglin is a famous master in the antique circle of Shanghai. You will inevitably have to deal with him when you venture into Shanghai in the future. Besides, he took the initiative to lose face this time. Why don't we be more generous? I will treat you to a meal at noon today. How about that?"

"Since it's Mr. Hu who asked, let's get to know each other." Lin Chuan smiled and responded.

Hu Shu laughed and seemed very pleased.

A strange look flashed in Lin Chuan's eyes, and he thought to himself that Mr. Hu seemed to want him to make friends with Gao Qinglin.

However, Lin Chuan didn't think much about it.

After all, the antique circle in Shanghai is so small, so it makes sense that Hu Shu and Gao Qinglin are friends.

There is no problem if he is willing to help connect me with Gao Qinglin.

At noon, Lin Chuan accepted the invitation.

At the dinner table, Gao Qinglin changed his attitude towards Lin Chuan and greeted him with a smile. Then, the three of them talked and chatted at the dinner table in a harmonious atmosphere.

This dinner did not take long.

Because Lin Chuan has more important things to do.

last night.

After Lin Chuan decided to reveal information about the counterfeit Chinese thin-bodied jade bottle with twined twig pattern from the Qing Dynasty, the three of them discussed how to spread the information.

Eventually, the three men decided to spread the information by anonymously posting online videos.

For Lin Chuan, the Internet is a familiar battlefield.

After the dinner, Lin Chuan went directly to Lao Bai's "Wenbai Studio".

Wenbai Studio.

The weather outside the window was gloomy, and the bright lights were turned on inside the room, shining on the workbench. The table, which should have been placed with carving knives, files, sandpaper and other restoration tools, was now covered with a piece of dark velvet cloth, and in the middle was a newly restored Chinese thin-bodied jade vase with twined branch patterns from the Qing Dynasty.

Youyou was wearing a beige long dress and holding a SLR camera, taking some details of this thin jade bottle.

"you are back."

When Youyou raised her eyes, she saw Lin Chuan wearing a simple white shirt, with a smile on his face, walking towards her quickly.

Lin Chuan looked at You You who was serious, and smiled: "You are all working, how dare I delay you?"

"Let me show you the pictures I took."

Youyou showed the photos she had taken to Lin Chuan.

Lin Chuan nodded with satisfaction: "It meets the requirements perfectly."

"I have also edited the text for the video commentary." Youyou raised her little face and smiled with a little pride.

"Thanks for your hard work."

Lin Chuan's heart moved slightly.

Lin Chuan is an expert in network technology.

As for video production, Youyou and Laobai were more experienced than Linchuan, so they took on the main responsibility of video production.
Youyou volunteered to be responsible for video text commentary, picture collection and other related work.

Lao Bai is responsible for editing and synthesis.

The videos they want to produce are relatively professional, so they require more energy.

Youyou only slept for three or two hours last night. Today, before dawn, she got up and started editing the text.

"Small things."

Youyou suppressed a smile, rubbed her slightly tired eyes, and laughed cheerfully.

"Brother, there's me too."

In a corner of Wenbai's studio, Lao Bai was sitting in front of his computer desk. He turned around and said as if asking for credit.

"Don't worry. I won't eat unless you come to the celebration banquet." Lin Chuan joked, "How's the video going?"

"I have almost finished editing it. I will upload the details of the cultural relics taken by my sister-in-law and add the data, and it will be almost done." Lao Bai laughed.

Lin Chuan nodded: "Do you need my help?"

Lao Bai shook his head and raised his eyebrows: "Brother, you can go out for a date with your sister-in-law and have a cup of milk tea. I will be ready when you come back."

"Do you want me to pack it for you?" Lin Chuan asked with a smile.

"That's certainly better." Lao Bai raised his eyebrows again and a smile appeared on his face.

"I see you want to drink your milk tea, but it will take a while. I'll create an anonymous user first to prevent the antique counterfeiting gang from finding us through the network IP." Lin Chuan returned to the business, "Youyou, lend me your notebook."

In a corner of the workbench, there is Youyou's notebook.

"Okay." She smiled leisurely.

Lin Chuan opened his laptop and started to set up a VPN, then connected to the virtual network and registered an account on Kuaishou Video using an overseas virtual IP.

In order to prevent the IP from being checked, Lin Chuan also specially made a firewall.

For Lin Chuan, this was done in one go.

the other side.

Lao Bai’s video is also ready and uploaded.

As a result, a video titled "A Qing Dynasty Chinese thin-bodied jade bottle with twined branch pattern is suspected to be a counterfeit" appeared on the popular column on the homepage of Kuaishou Video.

……

At two o'clock in the afternoon, it started raining.

The sky was lightly sprinkled with drizzle, like silk and thread, interweaving into a hazy mist in the air, as if covering the city with a layer of soft veil.

In the manor of the 'Gu Shi Yue' private museum, a breeze blew gently, bringing with it a moist breath, blowing the raindrops down obliquely, hitting the dense leaves, making a rustling sound.

Gao Qinglin was still wearing a black Tang suit.

He had a bright smile on his face and was holding a big umbrella in his hand. The person under the umbrella was Hu Shu. He walked slowly along the bluestone path, entered the museum, and went up to the third floor.

The two of them brushed off the raindrops on their bodies and sat down at the tea table.

"Mr. Hu, you have a sharp eye. Lin Chuan is indeed a genius in antiques." As soon as he sat down, Gao Qinglin couldn't help but praise him.

At the dinner table today, the two of them had a lively conversation with Lin Chuan.

Lin Chuan occasionally expressed one or two different opinions, which benefited Gao Qinglin a lot.

This time, he had to obey.

Hu Shu smiled with relief: "You can put aside your prejudice, which is a good start. Soon, after Lin Chuan finishes repairing the 'Qing Dynasty Chinese Entwined Branch Pattern Thin-Bodied Jade Bottle', he will come to this museum to work for me. Within a month, he will become a capable member of our team. At that time, his value will be truly reflected."

The value that Hu Shu mentioned is naturally the value of "antique counterfeiting".

He has been watching Lin Chuan's "Last Week's Antiques". Every time he sees a plot about antique counterfeiting, he can always resonate with it and feel Lin Chuan's charm of making the fake look real.

Maybe, this is genius.

A genius at antique counterfeiting!
Gao Qinglin smiled as he made tea, "At that time, Mr. Hu won't have to do it himself."

"Of course, with Lin Chuan's joining, I can save a lot of effort, and you have to help him more." Hu Shu said with a smile.

Gao Qinglin paused in making tea and raised his eyebrows: "Mr. Hu, are you going to bring him to our core?"

"If he can stand the test, it is not impossible for him to become my spokesperson." Hu Shu smiled.

hiss!
Gao Qinglin was stunned, took a deep breath, and calmed down. He took over the conversation and said with a smile: "Mr. Hu is really good."

"Of course. Otherwise, why would I set this trap for him when I'm in such a big circle?"

A meaningful smile appeared on Hu Shu's elegant face.

It is called: spokesperson.

In fact, it is equivalent to a corporate legal person and a scapegoat.

In Hu Shu's plan, he brought Lin Chuan in and let Lin Chuan commit the fraud, and then he could sit back and relax and reap the benefits.

Even if there were any mistakes, he could clear them cleanly.

Gao Qinglin brewed Pu'er tea and poured a cup for Hu Shu.

'Ring ring ring——'

At this time, his cell phone rang.

Gao Qinglin looked up at Hu Shu and said apologetically, "Mr. Hu, someone called me."

"No problem, take it."

Hu Shu took a sip of tea and said nonchalantly.

Gao Qinglin did not avoid Hu Shu and directly pressed the answer button, then asked "what's the matter". However, the words of his subordinates on the phone made him look shocked and horrified.

"What's going on here?"

Hu Shu looked up at Gao Qinglin and asked slowly.

Gao Qinglin put down his phone, swallowed his saliva, and said in a trembling voice: "Mr. Hu, someone exposed on the Internet that the 'Qing Dynasty Chinese vine-patterned thin-bodied jade bottle is suspected to be a replica.'"

"Ok?"

Hu Shu's brows immediately frowned, and a look of disbelief emerged on his usually calm face.
