Sister, you're playing with fire_1

Tang Feng repeated the information provided by the system, detailing several ways to discern the authenticity of ceramics beyond tapping.

After finishing, he waited for applause from the two individuals.

But when the expected clapping didn't come after a long wait, he was left hanging.

Glancing at the two of them, both wore expressions as if they had seen a ghost.

Some of the methods Tang Feng described for identifying authentic ceramics were familiar to them, but some they were indeed hearing for the first time.

They found them both fresh and astonishing.

It could be said that this layman had truly given them a lesson.

Seeing no response from them, Tang Feng couldn't help but clear his throat twice, "Of course, if Mr. Xu still has doubts about what I've said, you can take the piece of porcelain to a professional appraisal institution for another test to see if I'm right."

Mr. Xu didn't immediately respond but instead picked up the piece of porcelain with a grave expression, examined it back and forth twice, then suddenly set it on the coffee table and made a respectful gesture towards Tang Feng.

"Thank you, Mr. Tang, for the guidance. If it hadn't been for your timely correction, our Jifeng Hall might have suffered a blow to our reputation. I would also like to apologize for my earlier attitude," he said.

Tang Feng saw that he was willing to admit his mistakes and greatly softened his attitude, accepting his apology.

With a look of reflection, Mr. Xu addressed him, "I didn't expect Mr. Tang, at such a young age, to possess such insight and prowess. Jifeng Hall is currently in need of an outstanding appraiser like Mr. Tang to join us, with a base monthly salary of thirty thousand plus commission. Would you be interested?"

Tang immediately laughed. Were they already throwing him an olive branch?

"Sorry, I'm not considering this at the moment."

What a joke! Already an affluent tycoon, would he care about a measly thirty-thousand-a-month job?

Mr. Xu, still not giving up, handed him a business card, "Mr. Tang, this is my card. If you change your mind at any time, Jifeng Hall is always welcoming to you."

As the saying goes, one doesn't slap away a smiling face. With such a polite attitude from Mr. Xu, Tang Feng couldn't just dismiss him completely and took the business card.

Then Mr. Xu turned to Qin Yanan, "Mrs. Qin, as I said before, if the porcelain is confirmed as fake, I will compensate you with triple the price. We previously quoted you fifty thousand for the piece, so we will compensate you according to our agreement with one hundred and fifty thousand."

Compensation wasn't much of a concern for Qin Yanan, "I believe Jifeng Hall had no intention of deceit, there's really no need, right?"

But Mr. Xu was very resolute, "Rules are rules. Compared to the reputation of Jifeng Hall, this sum of money is nothing. However, I need to take the porcelain back and have it appraised again before I can compensate you."

Seeing his determination, Qin Yanan didn't say much more.

Mr. Xu then left with the porcelain piece.

After sending him off, Qin Yanan looped back, "Well, aren't you something, you cheeky brat. How many more secrets are you hiding from me?"

If it hadn't been for Tang Feng's timely reminder, she might have really been duped this time.

The money was not a huge issue, but displaying that fake porcelain bowl in her shop would have certainly impacted the reputation of her antique store.

Tang Feng, sitting with his legs crossed on the sofa, leaned back and said, "I've still got plenty of secrets, but you'll have to dig them out slowly."

Qin Yanan's eyes wandered over him, "You little rascal, I'm getting more and more interested in you. Trying to play the mystery card with me, huh? Humph, one of these days I'll have you stripped bare."

"Sister, if you really want to strip me bare, you don't have to wait for a day; you can do it right now," Tang Feng said, immediately pretending to strip off his clothes.

"Get lost! Who wants to strip your clothes? I'm talking about stripping your secrets bare," Qin Yanan sat down next to him, her fair legs particularly eye-catching in the light.

Tang Feng sneaked a couple of glances before hurriedly looking away, only to find himself involuntarily turning back for another peek.

Seeing his look of guilty conscience, Qin Yanan couldn't help laughing, "If you want to look, just look. Why be so sneaky? It's not like I'll lose a piece of flesh."

"You're the one letting me look," said Tang Feng, leaning in as if ready to take a closer look.

"Come on, you actually dare to play the rogue with me?" Qin Yanan pushed him on the shoulder, slightly taken aback.

Indeed, Tang Feng seemed a bit bolder today.

In the past, he certainly wouldn't dare to make such an excessive joke with her.

She couldn't help but wonder what on earth Tang Feng had been through that day.

"Sister, are you trying to be a hooligan with me?" Tang Feng asked softly, noticing her persistent gaze.

"What do you know? When a man ogles a woman, that's hooliganism. When a woman ogles a man, that's admiration," Qin Yanan responded confidently.

Tang Feng rolled his eyes, "That's quite the double standard, isn't it? Shouldn't there be gender equality?"

Qin Yanan draped an arm over his shoulder, blowing a breath in his ear, "How can there be equality? You pee standing up, I pee squatting down. Tell me how that's equal?"

Tang Feng felt an itchy tingling sensation in his ear, which quickly spread, and he found himself powerless on one side of his body.

"Sister, you're playing with fire; do you realize that? If you keep this up, I'm afraid I won't be able to hold back someday," he said, turning his head to look at her strikingly beautiful face, swallowing hard.

"Ah, getting brave, are we? Then don't hold back; do you dare?" Qin Yanan challenged him with a seductive and provocative gaze.

"This is what you said," Tang Feng replied, making a gesture as if he was about to make his move.

"Ah! Tang, you actually dare to try it?"

Qin Yanan let out a shrill scream and darted away.

Tang Feng watched her with a chuckle, "I told you, men are dangerous creatures; don't try to play with fire."

Qin Yanan patted her startled chest and gave him a glare, "Enough fooling around. Let's talk business. Mr. Zhang, the appraiser in my shop, is going back to his hometown to rest tomorrow. I've been worried about it, so why don't you help cover for me for a couple of days?"

Tang Feng immediately grinned, "Am I that in demand now?"
