Chapter 12 - You Said This Is a Counterfeit?

Lin Yi had been to the antique market a few times, but he had always come to stroll around with his father in the past.

As for those shops, he had never entered them at all. After all, there were no cheap porcelain pieces sold inside.

However, today, he was not strolling through those stalls. Instead, he directly parked his bicycle at the door of the largest antique shop, Antique Pavilion.

After all, the treasures in his backpack were worth 2.71 million! Those small stalls outside could not afford it.

Walking into this Antique Pavilion, Lin Yi could not help but be stunned. He could not help but mutter, "Are you sure this is an antique shop??"

The reason why he had doubts was that the decoration style was completely different from the antique shop style in Lin Yi's mind.

It was dazzling and golden.

In Lin Yi's opinion, this place seemed to be more like a jewelry store.

"Hello, sir. Welcome to Antique Pavilion. What do you need?"

Seeing Lin Yi walk in, a female salesperson in a cheongsam with thick makeup immediately walked up and spoke with a professional smile.

However, when she saw that Lin Yi was only a teenager, she immediately lost interest. After all, this was an antique shop. The cheapest item cost more than a thousand dollars.

She did not think that the young man in front of her would buy anything. Fortunately, her professionalism was not bad, and Lin Yi was very handsome, so she chose to receive him.

"Yes, hello. May I ask if you collect anything here?"

Lin Yi glanced at the female salesperson and went straight to the point.

The female salesperson in the cheongsam was thinking about this little brother in front of her, 'If this little brother can help me unclog the pipes, that would be a great thing~'

When she suddenly heard Lin Yi's question, she was not impatient. Instead, she revealed a smile that she thought was very charming.

"Heh heh, we collect things, but we're the most high-end antique shop here after all. If your things aren't 'good', we won't buy them."

Lin Yi nodded when he heard this. He did not understand what the other party meant by deliberately emphasizing 'good'.

"Don't worry, it's not an ordinary thing. Take me to see your appraiser."

After saying that, Lin Yi walked in first.

The female salesperson looked at Lin Yi's tall back and gently licked her lips before hurriedly following.

However, before the two of them could take a few steps, a middle-aged man with a large stomach and a leather bag under his arm walked towards the door.

Lin Yi was stunned when he saw who it was. He did not expect to encounter this guy here.

However, when he recalled that he had heard that the other party's company was in the antique city, he was immediately puzzled. Could it be that he worked here?

As expected, the woman in the cheongsam gave Lin Yi the answer he wanted in the next moment.

"Hello, Manger Sun. You're going out?"

The fatty walking over was none other than the Sun Zhi who Lin Yi had met this morning, the 'capable' husband of his mother's colleague.

Sun Zhi raised his head proudly. He did not look at Lin Yi at all, but raised his head and nodded.

Seeing that the other party was not looking at him, Lin Yi was happy to be ignored. He really did not want to talk to this pretentious guy.

However, Sun Zhi had just taken two steps when he suddenly stopped and turned around to say to the female salesperson,

"Oh, right. Little Wu, come to my office in a while. I'll 'assign' something to you… Eh? The kid from the Lin family? Why are you here?"

As Sun Zhi turned around, he saw Lin Yi beside the female salesperson and a trace of doubt flashed across his face.

Seeing that he had been noticed, Lin Yi had to greet him in case others called him disrespectful.

The female salesperson looked at the two of them in confusion and explained, "Manager Sun, so you know each other. It's like this. This little brother said that he wants to sell something to us. I'm just about to bring him to the appraisal room."

"Oh? Sell something? What are you selling? Don't tell me it's the lousy porcelain pieces from your father. We don't have to appraise it. I'm telling you with certainty that we don't accept those things!"

Hearing that Lin Yi was here to sell something, Sun Zhi immediately revealed a disdainful expression.

He also knew that Lin Yi's father liked to collect broken porcelain pieces. At the same time, he knew that their family did not have the money to buy antiques.

Therefore, he did not believe that Lin Yi could sell anything valuable.

Facing the other party's mocking tone, Lin Yi ignored it. Instead, he took off his backpack and reached out to take out the porcelain cup wrapped in toilet paper.

Seeing this large ball of toilet paper, Sun Zhi opposite him immediately sneered in disdain.

"What's this? It's even wrapped so tightly. Those who don't know might think that it's a precious treasure."

Sigh, I say, you haven't improved at all. What did I tell you this morning? Since your academic results are bad, stop going to school early and save your parents some money."

When Lin Yi opened the toilet paper bag, Sun Zhi had a mocking attitude. For a moment, the commotion attracted the gazes of many people.

Seeing this, Sun Zhi's voice became even louder.

"When the time comes, go find a job and save some money to buy a car so that you can find a girlfriend. Although you can't afford my Porsche Cayenne, it's not a problem to buy a small car."

Especially when he said the words Porsche Cayenne, he emphasized it as if he was afraid that others could not hear him.

Regarding this, Lin Yi curled his lips in disdain. At the same time, he did not understand how such a guy got promoted to the position of general manager.

At this moment, Lin Yi had already opened the layer of toilet paper. Immediately, an ancient blue and white porcelain cup appeared in front of everyone.

However, when Sun Zhi saw this cup, he could not help but laugh.

"Hahaha, kid, it's really a 'treasure'! It's not that I want to criticize you but work harder on your studies. Otherwise, you'll be easily deceived."

"Also, this is the most reputed antique store in our city. You should at least take something decent to fool us. Let me ask you, do you know what the design of the cup you took out is modeled after?"

Clearly, with a glance, Sun Zhi determined that what Lin Yi took out was a fake. As for the reason, it was not fully because of Lin Yi.

He had been in the antique industry for more than ten years. Although he could not be considered an expert, he was much better than ordinary people.

Therefore, after seeing Lin Yi take out this 'new' blue and white porcelain cup, the first thing he confirmed was that it was definitely a modern imitation. Moreover, it had not even been made to look 'old'!
