"Clap clap-"

"It is said that hoarding ancient things will not lead to poverty, but greed for ancient things will not lead to wealth..."

Just as Gao Dongxu directly refused to donate, Director Tong's expression froze, Huang Yanyan looked joking, and the office fell into awkwardness.

The office door was pushed open, and a female staff member with a wry smile on her face and two cups of tea stepped aside to make way. Huang Kewu, who was wearing glasses, had gray hair, a sneer on his face, and had a strong aura, clapped his hands and walked in with sharp eyes.

Following behind him was Huang Jiao, with his head held high and his belly puffed out.

"Grandpa?!" Huang Yanyan was stunned at first, then her pretty face immediately flushed, her eyes panicked, and she stood up in a panic. She walked forward quickly, took Huang Kewu's arm, and said shyly: "Grandpa, why are you here?"

"Mr. Huang..." Director Tong, looking embarrassed and blushing, hurriedly stood up to greet him with a wry smile.

Gao Dongxu raised his eyebrows slightly, and saw Huang Jiao behind Huang Kewu looking at him with hostility. He couldn't help but stand up with a smile and greeted him in a neither humble nor arrogant manner: "Hello, Mr. Huang——"

"Hmm..." Huang Kewu had an expressionless face. He glanced at Gao Dongxu sharply, nodded slightly, and said "hmm" in response to his greeting. He didn't even look at the extremely embarrassed Director Tong. Just like the face-changing in Sichuan Opera, a doting smile appeared on his old face. Looking at Huang Yanyan, who was shy and secretly glanced at Gao Dongxu from time to time, he patted her hand and said, "If you don't come again, the baby I raised with great difficulty will be stolen."

"Grandpa~~~" Huang Yanyan's pretty face turned red with embarrassment, and she twisted her body and acted coquettishly.

Upon hearing this, Gao Dongxu knew that trouble was coming and it was directed at him.

He also thought that the other party must have investigated him thoroughly, which could also explain why the Huang family's butler was so hostile towards him.

Director Tong also understood the meaning of Huang Kewu's words and invited him with a wry smile: "Mr. Huang, please sit down. If you have anything to say, let's sit down and talk—"

Huang Kewu frowned and looked at Director Tong. The shy Huang Yanyan pulled him to the sofa. After sitting down, he said indifferently, "Ziqing, I've said before that people in the system shouldn't use moral kidnapping to force others to donate cultural relics, or use the country as an excuse. Don't use your own standards to demand others.

Taking advantage and using moral blackmail, do you really consider shamelessness as a basic operation? "

"Puch-"

Huang Yanyan, who was standing by, couldn't help but burst out laughing. She quickly covered her mouth with a red face, blinked her innocent big eyes and looked at Huang Kewu who was glaring at her because of his laughter, and playfully spit out some perfume.

Tong Ziqing's old face flushed with embarrassment, and he smiled helplessly, "Mr. Huang, you know, I have always been impartial and never had any selfish motives."

Huang Kewu nodded in agreement and said, "I believe this, but you can't expect everyone to be the same as you."

As he spoke, he looked sharply at Gao Dongxu who had been smiling. The two looked at each other, and Gao Dongxu did not dodge at all and faced it calmly.

Huang Kewu couldn't help but sigh in his heart. With his status, reputation and the aura of a person who had been in a superior position for a long time, ordinary people simply could not withstand his scrutiny.

But the young man in front of him simply ignored all his halo bonuses. Of course, the other party also had the confidence to ignore it. Perhaps, in the other party's eyes, his identity as Huang Yanyan's grandfather was the most important.

"Your name is Gao Dongxu, right?"

"Yes, it seems that Mr. Huang has already investigated me." Gao Dongxu said with a smile.

Huang Yanyan, who was standing aside, widened her beautiful eyes and looked at her grandfather in surprise.

"Smart, Yanyan was raised by me and I cherish her like a treasure. If she comes into contact with the opposite sex, I will definitely investigate thoroughly to prevent her from getting hurt."

Huang Kewu ignored Huang Yanyan's pouting and continued to say to Gao Dongxu, "You can decisively and directly reject Ziqing's excessive donation request. That's good. 'Collecting ancient things will not make you poor, but greed for ancient things will not make you rich' is a better saying.

When it comes to moral kidnapping, once you start to save face, it will become more and more serious.

In particular, some shameless people who like to stand on the moral high ground are obviously making things difficult for you, but still make you think that you are ignorant. They are betting that you are embarrassed to refuse, and for the sake of face, they make you force yourself.

Remember, it is your right to refuse. Any attempt at moral blackmail is bullying. If you encounter bullies, avoid them. Not everyone deserves to be treated kindly.

Tong Ziqing felt so ashamed after hearing these words that he could not sit still and his old face turned red. However, due to Huang Kewu's identity and status, he could only endure it.

This is the status and influence of the Five Veins in the world of antiques in the Celestial Empire!

"Thank you, Mr. Huang, for your teachings. I will definitely keep them in mind." Gao Dongxu said with a smile.

"Hmm..." Huang Kewu narrowed his eyes and looked at the smiling Gao Dongxu again. He then glanced at Huang Yanyan, who was beside him with a shy and nervous look, and finally said, "You are very good, but unfortunately, you are not a good match for Yanyan."

"Grandpa—" Huang Yanyan's shy expression froze, her rosy face suddenly pale, her beautiful eyes widening as she stared at Huang Kewu in disbelief. With an anxious look on her face, she grabbed his arm and cried out in a trembling voice. "Don't worry, I'll tell you when we get back." Huang Kewu saw Huang Yanyan's excitement, and his heart was filled with mixed emotions. It really was true that girls were extroverted. It had only been so long, and this boy had already stolen her heart.

"Mr. Huang, whether we are a good match or not is not something you can decide. I am not married and she is not married yet. If you try to stop me, it will only backfire. Besides, can you really stop something like this?"

Gao Dongxu will not be intimidated by Huang Kewu. Even if Huang Kewu overturns the table and exposes the fact that he already has a girlfriend, he is not afraid. What's more, he bets that Huang Kewu will not overturn the table, because, in that case, only Huang Yanyan will be hurt.

"Indeed, this kind of thing is difficult to stop, and the more I try to stop it, the more counterproductive it will be. I'll become Yanyan's enemy, and she'll become even more rebellious. I won't stop it, but I also don't want Yanyan to get hurt..."

Huang Kewu spoke lightly and waved to Huang Jiao. Huang Jiao immediately stepped forward and handed a black leather bag to Huang Kewu with both hands.

"Since you are also from the antique world, let's make a bet. If you win, I will no longer interfere in your affairs with Yanyan.

But if you lose, I won't interfere with you being together, but you must promise not to harm her body before you get married!"

"Grandpa~~~"

As soon as Huang Kewu finished speaking, Huang Yanyan, who was originally nervous and uneasy, immediately blushed. She said in a trembling voice with shyness, covering her hot red face with her hands.

Director Tong was also at a loss whether to laugh or cry when he heard this. He had been tricked by Huang Kewu and became a witness to the quarrel.

However, Tong Ziqing began to guess Gao Dongxu's identity in his heart. From Huang Kewu's attitude and the fact that he had to resort to verbal combat to force the other party to submit, it was clear that Gao Dongxu's identity was extraordinary.

This is the Huang family, which controls two of the five branches. Its power is so great that it is difficult for outsiders to imagine. What's more, Huang Kewu is a ruthless man. When the public and private sectors were merged and the country absorbed the national antique industry, it was he who went to Zhengzhou alone and suppressed the entire Henan antique trade. In the end, if seven antique shops had not set up a trap and invited a master with yin and yang eyes to fight a fierce battle, Huang Kewu was forced to return to the capital overnight.

Although Huang Kewu was forced to leave and lost his position as the head of the Five Clans, this did not affect his reputation at all. On the contrary, his reputation became even greater because of his battle with a master who was born with a pair of Yin-Yang eyes.

That is the legendary Yin-Yang Eyes that can see through the Yin and Yang of ghosts and gods!
If Gao Dongxu were an ordinary person, one can imagine what his attitude would be and what methods he would use to deal with such a ruthless person.

But now, Huang Kewu actually chose to engage in verbal fights, which was clearly a way of bullying the weak and forcing Gao Dongxu to give up. There was undoubtedly a lot of helplessness and passivity hidden in this.

"First of all, I have to explain that I appraise antiques entirely by instinct. I've never studied appraisal systematically, so my knowledge of antiques is quite limited. If I were asked to identify the flaws of a fake according to the rules of the game, I'd probably find it difficult..."

Gao Dongxu was very aware of his shortcomings, and he also knew that the old fox Huang Kewu was setting a trap for him.

The rule when playing with antiques is "talk about the new, not the old."

What does that mean?

If you say something is real, you don't have to explain why it's real. But if you say it's fake, you have to give a reason. If you can't give a reason, you're just being unreasonable.

I have to say, the old fox is an old fox. He really plays this trick very well, and Gao Dongxu is the one who suffers the loss.

If he wins, the identity of Gao Dongxu and Huang Yanyan as lovers will be confirmed. Especially with Tong Ziqing as a witness, the fact that he and Huang Yanyan are a couple will soon spread throughout the antique world.

Even on a deeper level, Huang Kewu may not have intended to take his identity and background into account.

Even after losing, he and Huang Yanyan are still a pair, but although they can play the whole game, they are not allowed to shoot.

If he violates the agreement, his character and reputation will be damaged, and Huang Kewu can easily kick him out of the antique world.

That’s right, Gao Dongxu has a powerful background, but no matter how powerful his background is, if someone doesn’t offend you openly but uses underhanded tactics in secret, there’s nothing you can do about it.

Of course, Huang Kewu did all this in order to protect his granddaughter from harm. His methods can be said to be very gentle, absolutely soft-knife, forcing Gao Dongxu, the sea king, to retreat and minimize the emotional damage that Huang Yanyan might suffer.

Huang Kewu's ability to handle worldly affairs has reached the pinnacle. He sees through human nature and grasps it just right.

You should know that the most wrong way to stop a relationship that is not approved by the elders is to use high pressure and coercion, because men and women in love are most likely to develop a strong rebellious and resistant mentality when faced with coercion, thinking that they are right and that those who stop them are bad people. Instead, it will promote the life and death dependence of infatuated men and women.

Now, the trap set by Huang Kewu is a soft knife. As long as Gao Dongxu is thinking about Huang Yanyan, he has no choice but to join the game. If he doesn't join the game and turns the table over, it will play into Huang Kewu's hands. He will not hesitate to expose Gao Dongxu's identity as a scumbag and completely extinguish the flower of love that has just begun to grow in Huang Yanyan.

"Don't worry, as long as you carefully read a few books on the basics of collection and appraisal, you will be able to explain the things I show you. The key is your eyesight. If you want to make a living in the antique business, you can't rely on your feelings alone. Even if you are a genius who has been gifted by God, sometimes your feelings can be deceiving. At critical moments, you still have to rely on your eyesight, knowledge and experience!"

Huang Kewu's eyes behind the glasses flashed with a cunning light, and he took out a bronze jug from his bag.
