Tang Feng could certainly tell this guy was deliberately flattering him in front of Xu Xinling.
One has to admit, this fellow's timing for ass-kissing was impeccable.
Everyone has their vanities, and he was no exception.
Being lavishly praised in front of a beauty would make anyone a bit light-headed.
Hmm, this Ge Hui has potential; he could be cultivated appropriately in the future.
Although he might not become a good appraiser, he could still be a competent lackey.
Ge Hui offered a few more compliments, which didn't seem sycophantic or artificial, but rather sincere.
Then he knew when to stop, not lingering or dragging it out.
After he left, Xu Xinling, with a smile, looked at Tang Feng, "Wow, you're already being called 'Teacher'? It seems you're really making waves in the antiques world."
Tang Feng modestly waved his hand, "Hey, what making waves? I'm still just a newbie; there's so much more for me to learn."
The more modest he was, the more enigmatic he seemed.
