Romantic Medical Immortal-Chapter 220: Off to the Appraisal!
"Ms. Wan, don’t worry!"
Yang Cheng took the packaged brush and vase, saying, "I understand the rules of the antique industry, ’clear transaction and self-responsibility’, this is the ironclad rule within the trade. Since I, Yang Cheng, paid the money, once the items leave your Xuanhua Pavilion, whether they are treasures or weeds has nothing to do with you. I will not go back on my word."
He paused here, his gaze sweeping over Chu Wanhai and Lin Wan, and said seriously, "However, since Ms. Wan is so worried, why don’t we record a video for evidence now? It will avoid any misunderstandings in the future and show that I, Yang Cheng, am aboveboard."
"Oh my, Brother Yang Cheng is really sensible!"
With these words, the smile on Lin Wan’s face became even brighter, feeling elated inside.
She was worried about how to completely cut off Yang Cheng’s retreat, but unexpectedly, this kid proposed it himself!
She immediately took out her phone, switched to video mode, and said, "Then let’s record one, just to set everyone at ease, right? Old Chu, you come and serve as a witness too!"
Upon hearing this, Chu Wanhai quickly came over, putting on an official expression for the camera.
Soon, the camera was pointed at Yang Cheng.
Yang Cheng, holding the packaging for the brush and vase in one hand, pointed at the tightly wrapped furnace on the truck outside with the other, and stated clearly:
"I, Yang Cheng, voluntarily purchase three items today at Xuanhua Pavilion: one brush priced at fifty thousand yuan, one incense burner, and one vase, totaling three hundred fifty thousand yuan. The transaction is complete, payment and goods are cleared. I promise, regardless of future appraisal results, not to request any refunds, returns, or compensation from Xuanhua Pavilion or the owners Chu Wanhai and Lin Wan. This statement is made voluntarily!"
"Good! Brother Yang, straightforward and principled!"
From off-camera, Chu Wanhai said excitedly.
Lin Wan, satisfied, pressed the stop button and carefully saved the video of this disclaimer.
This is the strongest amulet!
By the time Yang Cheng tries to retract, even if he upturns the sky, he won’t get that three hundred fifty thousand back!
Yang Cheng looked at the two of them and said, "Since I’ve recorded it, shouldn’t you two also shoot a segment?"
Upon hearing this, Chu Wanhai and Lin Wan exchanged a glance and, without much hesitation, agreed: "No problem."
Then Yang Cheng took out his phone and started recording for the two of them.
The video was soon finished.
Yang Cheng checked the video, a smile playing at his lips, he deliberately suggested recording the video, also worried about these two backing out.
Now there’s a video!
Even if these two try to go back, it’s of no use.
"Brother Yang, Sister Yang Rou, take care on your way back!"
Chu Wanhai and Lin Wan stood at the shop’s entrance, waving goodbye with smiles.
They appeared very enthusiastic, as if bidding farewell to deities of wealth.
As the truck slowly departed, Chu Wanhai couldn’t hold it in anymore and burst into laughter:
"Hahaha, wife, did you see? He even volunteered to record a video promising not to back out, truly foolish to the core, three hundred fifty thousand just for a pile of junk, and this fool is eagerly going to get it appraised? Isn’t this self-humiliation?"
Lin Wan also laughed heartily, eyes gleaming with malicious joy: "Exactly! It’s recorded well! Imagine when those experts expose his purchase publicly, and his face gets slapped with loud smacks, how wonderful would that expression be! Just thinking about it is satisfying! And his sister Yang Rou, that campus beauty, usually so aloof, today surely will be embarrassed too!"
"Campus beauty?" Chu Wanhai snorted, his eyes disdainful: "Hmph, with such a foolish brother, what’s the point of being a campus beauty? Today’s embarrassment is assured! No way, wife, how can we miss such an exciting scene?"
Lin Wan’s eyes lit up: "Right! We must go watch! Witness with our own eyes how the brother and sister get embarrassed in front of the Antique Association experts! Imagine that brat Yang Cheng being pointed at by experts and called a fake, what will his face look like? And Yang Rou, probably crying on the spot, right? Hahaha!"
The two hit it off immediately, locking the shop doors, jumping into Chu Wanhai’s conspicuous Range Rover, speeding towards the Antique Association.
...
A dozen minutes later!
The small truck stopped in front of Peach Blossom County’s Antique Association’s grand building.
Yang Cheng was first to get off, directing workers to unload the heavy furnace.
Yang Rou held onto the packaging containing the brush and vase, standing to the side, watching Yang Cheng’s busy figure, her heart restless.
Three hundred fifty thousand!!
This is no small amount!
Let’s hope these three items are authentic, or else it will be a great loss.
Just as the furnace was set down, before it could be moved into the association’s hall, an ear-piercing engine roar approached from a distance.
A shiny Range Rover stopped flamboyantly beside the truck.
The car door opened, and Chu Wanhai and Lin Wan, beaming, got out.
"Oh! Brother Yang, Sister Yang Rou, what a coincidence!"
Chu Wanhai’s face was full of a concerned smile: "We just had some business here at the Association, so we just followed along!"
"Yes, Brother Yang Cheng, our business will be done soon, just in time to witness and see if the treasures you picked up are worth that three hundred fifty thousand." Lin Wan swayed her hips forward, her lips curling into a meaningful smirk.
"Chu, Ms. Wan, since we ran into each other, let’s go in together and see the results."
Yang Cheng seemed to miss the sarcasm in Lin Wan’s words, glancing indifferently at them as he spoke.
"Alright, let’s go see together!"
In the company of the Chu couple, Yang Cheng instructed workers to carry the furnace into the Antique Association’s first-floor appraisal hall.
This street is known for antiques, with numerous people bringing in items for appraisal every day.
The large furnace attracted attention as soon as it landed.
After all, such a large item, wrapped so thoroughly, naturally piqued curiosity.
"Hello, please arrange for an appraisal of three items: one brush, one vase, and this furnace."
Yang Cheng approached the service counter, politely speaking to the staff.
The staff glanced at the register, eyed the massive furnace, and nodded: "Alright sir, do you know our fee regulations?"
"I do!!"
Yang Cheng had already heard from Yang Rou and nodded firmly.
"Alright, please wait a moment, I’ll contact the expert for you!"
The staff gave a slight nod and walked away.
...
Ten minutes later!
An elderly gentleman in traditional attire, looking spirited, entered the hall, followed by two middle-aged experts.
"Is this what needs appraising?"
The gentleman’s gaze swept the hall, eventually landing on the prominent large furnace.
"Yes, Elder Qin, I’ll trouble you with this."
The staff spoke respectfully, then pointed to Yang Rou: "And the two she’s holding."
The elder known as Elder Qin nodded, his gaze first landing on the packaging in Yang Rou’s arms: "Let’s look at the smaller items first."
"Thank you, Elder Qin!"
Yang Rou stepped forward, carefully unwrapping the packaging and placing the seemingly ordinary vase on the appraisal table.
Chu Wanhai and Lin Wan immediately squeezed to the front of the crowd, craning their necks, eyes unblinking, fixated on the appraisal table.
Their schadenfreude expression was almost palpable.
Yang Cheng, sharp-eyed, instantly caught their thoughts, maintaining a calm exterior while secretly smirking, those two idiots, actually follow to watch the spectacle, soon they’re the ones to regret.
At this moment, Elder Qin began his appraisal, taking out a magnifying glass and scrutinizing the vase.
The surroundings went silent, afraid to disrupt Elder Qin.
About ten minutes later, Elder Qin’s expression changed, suddenly looking at Yang Cheng and Yang Rou nearby, subconsciously asking: "This... where was this vase bought??"
