Chapter 192 Old Classmates

Chen Ran was startled, and turned his head to look, only to find a pair of well-dressed men and women approaching. The man was about the same age and height as him, and a woman was following him. The woman had a yellow wavy hairstyle and her lower body Wearing a denim short skirt and a tight shirt on the upper body, the pair of chests are set off very large, revealing a large area of ​​snow-white skin, causing passers-by to look over frequently.

Needless to say, Chen Ran's current memory, as long as he has seen someone before, even if he has no impression, he can usually recognize this person when they meet again, but he didn't recognize the man in front of him for a while, but he looked at him. It's quite familiar.

"Chen Ran, it's really you." The man seemed very happy to see Chen Ran, and walked towards Chen Ran excitedly.

The woman took his arm and followed with a smile. The man saw Chen Ran frowning, but he couldn't tell that Chen Ran didn't recognize him, so he pretended to be angry and said, "Chen Ran, you're still an old classmate. You won't even recognize me, I'm..."

"Are you Jiang Tao?"

When the man talked about his old classmates, he finally reminded Chen Ran of his sophomore year in high school. He did have such a classmate. Not only was he an old classmate, but he was also in front and back. When he was young, Chen Ran was a boring gourd. There were really no good students in the class. In addition, the student in front of him had changed a lot. After all, he hadn't seen him for so many years, so he was a little strange.

"It's a good thing you haven't forgotten me." Jiang Tao was very excited to meet Chen Ran, "It's really not easy to meet an old classmate. Many former classmates can't be contacted anymore, and I don't know how everyone is doing now. .”

Chen Ran nodded silently, he really didn't have any contact with his high school classmates, and Guo Hai was only his junior high school classmates, but he didn't go to the same school in high school.

Jiang Tao said a few words to himself, looked at the fruit that Chen Ran was carrying, and said with a smile: "By the way, Chen Ran, you have graduated from college, where did you get rich now? It's okay to be a fool." ? I'm working at Dingsheng Auction House, so I just came to Bishui for a business trip this time..."

"It's okay, just one vagrant for the time being."

Chen Ran frowned slightly, and said lightly.

Just now he wondered how this old classmate didn't have a good relationship with him when he was in school. It can't be said that it wasn't good, but there was no handover at all. How could he be so enthusiastic about him? Now he can see that he is just outside It's done well, and I want to feel proud in front of my former classmates.

He had heard of Dingsheng's auction house, and it was quite famous in the auction house in the collection industry.

"That's very good, how leisurely, unlike me, now I have been sent to our Tianzhong City branch as a vice president, and I am very busy every day. No, if it didn't happen to go back to our Bishui for a business trip, I would even come back to see I don't have time to watch..."

Jiang Tao was full of reluctance, but from the smug expression on his face, it could be seen that this product is still acting good after getting a cheap price. The woman next to him, that is, his girlfriend Xu Le is holding his arm coquettishly and shaking, Judging from her expression, she also had a look of pride. Xu Le's appearance did not seem to be high-quality, but she looked seductive when dressed up.

It's really boring to meet such people and things like this. At their age, they have a certain level of classification for friends, and treat any kind of friends with what kind of attitude.People who are sincerely kind to you are too lazy to talk to you, but instead enthusiastically hang out with some drinking and meat friends. Such a person is undoubtedly very speechless, and you must distinguish between good and bad in life.

For Chen Ran, a friend like Jiang Tao is undoubtedly a casual acquaintance, not even a friend. If there is a relationship, it is just in the name of an old classmate who has not been in touch for so many years. Even if we contact each other frequently in the future, the taste will change. Therefore, before Jiang Tao finished speaking, Chen Ran lifted the fruit in his hand, left a polite word, and turned away directly.

Jiang Tao was doing well outside, but he wanted to show off in front of his old classmates when he came back, but he found that those old classmates couldn't be contacted, which made him very depressed, and he held his breath, but didn't Thinking that he met Chen Ran suddenly when he was depressed, he was very happy at once, but before he had vented his excitement, Chen Ran suddenly turned around and left, making him feel like he ate a fly disgusted.

"Why is your classmate like this?"

Jiang Tao's girlfriend, Xu Le, also grumbled in dissatisfaction. According to her imagination, Chen Ran should entertain them warmly, and then say nice things to envy them, but Chen Ran's attitude was a bit too indifferent. .

"Hey, my classmate is like this. When I was in school, I was a boring gourd. I didn't like to talk. I guess I can't communicate now. Such a person has no future in society, so don't talk to him." Jiang Tao also felt that his girlfriend I lost face in front of me.

Xu Le suddenly smiled: "No wonder he is still at home waiting for a job, maybe he can't find a job."

"Don't mention him, let's go to the hall and wait for Mr. Wang. This will also show that we are sincere."

Jiang Tao shook his head in disappointment, and walked towards the Literature and Art Association with Xu Le in his arms.

This time when he returned to Bishui, he did come back from a business trip. Although the Dingsheng Auction House is famous, it is only famous in the province. There are too many auction houses. It is not easy to make a name for yourself, so you can only rely on your own means.

If a company of the nature of the auction house wants to gain fame, the only way is to have some die-casting treasures, that is, antiques that attract the attention of collectors, when the auction is held. To be precious and rare, such antiques can be said to be rare.

This time, the purpose of his business trip back to Bishui was to find an antique from a lower box.

When Chen Ran stepped into the lobby of the Literature and Art Association, he found that the lobby had changed a lot from the last time he came in. In the past, two rows of chairs were placed to take up all the space. Now that it has been redecorated, the entire space It was a bit bigger, and there were many more people waiting in line in the hall than last time. Chen Ran couldn't squeeze in even if he wanted to. He squeezed twice, and was scolded twice for squeezing. Line up.

Chen Ran frowned, and had no choice but to retreat. Since Wang Zhiqing wanted him to come here to find him, he must be busy inside. Now that there are so many people, it is estimated that they will not be able to finish their work in a while, so Chen Ran is not going to go ahead. Sorry to bother Wang Zhiqing.

Seeing that there were still vacant seats next to him, he squeezed over and prepared to sit there and wait for Wang Zhiqing, but when he squeezed through, a voice suddenly came from the side: "Aran, Aran..."

Hearing someone calling him again, Chen Ran was puzzled, what happened today, it was really evil, but fortunately, the call of A Ran meant that it was his elders who called him.

"Aran, you're here too, come quickly and show Aunt Lan whether the flowerpot in my house is worth money or not?"

Chen Ran looked back, but found that the person who called him was Auntie Xiaohong, a neighbor who used to live across from his house. Auntie Xiaohong was queuing up holding an old flower pot, and was waving at him happily at the moment. In this scene, he could only walk over and say hello, if he didn't say hello, let his mother know, and he would be lectured.

"Aran, show me if my flower pot is real or not. I took it to your house yesterday and asked you to take a look. Who would have thought that your mother said you were not at home..." Auntie Xiaohong saw Chen Ran. With great enthusiasm, she handed the flowerpot she was holding to Chen Ran.

"Who is this..." Although there were many people in the hall, it was still quiet. Even if some spoke, they spoke in a low voice. Auntie Xiaohong's shout immediately made Chen Ran and her the focus of the hall. Quite a few people wondered and questioned each other strangely.

Not to mention they were puzzled, even Chen Ran himself was also puzzled.

In the past two days, when he stayed at home, many former neighbors brought old things to his house to show him, but Chen Ran let Li Yuzhi reject them, saying that he was not at home. .

When appraising antiques, the most taboo is to appraise old classmates, old friends, old relatives, and old neighbors. If it is a stranger, it is fine, like an acquaintance or a neighbor, it is undoubtedly very difficult to deal with. I will not talk about it, if the value is really high, then everyone is happy, so I will tell the truth, but if it is of little value, it will be difficult.

And the things that these former neighbors let him see are undoubtedly almost not antiques, and the most important thing is that these neighbors are not people in the collection circle.

People in the collection circle can tell the result in a cryptic manner, but his neighbors, if they say it in a cryptic way, they will definitely not understand, so they can only say it bluntly.

It's just that since he is holding something and asking him to appraise it, he has high expectations. If he bluntly tells people that this thing is worthless, how can they be willing to listen? If you understand the truth, you don't believe it. It's reasonable, I don't know how to think about it... So, this can be said to be a thankless thing... When I was at home, I was pushed away, but I didn't expect to meet here.
