Starting as the President of a Billionaire Group Chapter 115 - 115 114 Fourth Master Asking for Subscription

115: Chapter 114 Fourth Master (Asking for Subscription) 115: Chapter 114 Fourth Master (Asking for Subscription) Ye Chen picked up the bloodstone, weighed it in his hand, and said, “The luster and texture of this bloodstone indeed are indistinguishable from real bloodstone, but everyone, please look at the engravings.

The carving is too ticulous; it’s obviously modern.

Moreover, the luster of real bloodstone is soft with a waxy sheen, but this one is too bright.”

As he spoke, Ye Chen lifted the bloodstone to his nose and sniffed it: “This bloodstone also has the dampness of soil, clearly having been intentionally buried for aging.

It hadn’t been dug up for more than a couple of days, right?”

As soon as Ye Chen spoke, the whole room fell silent.

Li Rongrong was stunned.

Ye Qian was stunned.

Several antique shop owners were also stunned.

The expressions of the middle-aged man and the young man slightly changed.

What Ye Chen said was very professional and made perfect sense.

Could it be that everyone was really wrong, and this bloodstone is fake?

But this was authenticated by Fourth Master; how could it be fake?

There was a deathly silence in the Treasure House.

Li Rongrong took the bloodstone from Ye Chen’s hand and examined it; it was just as Ye Chen described.

A look of incredulity flashed across her eyes.

How could this young man’s treasure appraising skills be so high?

In just a few words, Li Rongrong could judge that Ye Chen’s treasure appraising skills surpassed hers.

At this ti, the young man snapped back to reality and snorted coldly: “You’re talking nonsense.

This bloodstone was authenticated by Fourth Master; how could it be fake.”

Yes, Fourth Master has never made a mistake.

It can’t be fake.

Several antique shop owners chipped in as well.

Everyone’s gaze turned to Ye Chen.

Ye Chen said calmly, “Fourth Master, if he really authenticated this bloodstone, it only ans he’s a fraud!”

“How dare you insult Fourth Master.”

“That’s too much.”

“If you can’t prove this bloodstone is fake, you’re dead.”

Ye Chen sneered: “You want evidence, right?

Fine.”

“Who has a lighter?” Ye Chen asked.

At this mont, an assistant handed Ye Chen a lighter.

After lighting it, Ye Chen held the fla against the bloodstone.

In an instant, the surface of the bloodstone turned charred black.

Ye Chen said calmly, “When real bloodstone is heated, it shows little wax on the surface; its color turns purple or dark under high heat but imdiately returns to its original color upon cooling.

However, you see this bloodstone; it’s completely burned black.

What do you say?

Real or fake?”

Everyone gathered around, and sure enough, the bloodstone turned charred black after being heated.

Seeing the fake bloodstone revealed, the young man’s face turned ugly.

“Forget it, I’m not selling it.”

The young man picked up the bloodstone and was ready to leave.

However, Ye Chen blocked his way.

“Don’t go; selling fake artifacts cos with legal responsibilities.”

At that mont, the sound of police sirens ca from outside, and Zhou Susu entered with two officers.

Seeing the police, the young man’s face turned ashen, and he tried to run.

But the assistants had already blocked him.

The middle-aged man, seeing the situation worsening, muttered, “Damn it, almost bought a fake stone.”

Ye Chen, however, stood in his way.

“You lack loyalty.

Your partner gets caught, and you’re okay running off?”

The middle-aged man’s face turned cold, and he quickly said, “What nonsense are you talking?

Who’s his partner?

I’m a victim too, okay?”

He tried to push Ye Chen away, but Ye Chen grabbed his arm.

By then, the policeman had already cuffed the young man.

Another policeman checked the records and called out excitedly, “Captain Zhou, this guy is the scam thief we’ve been after, and he should have an accomplice too.”

Ye Chen smiled faintly: “His accomplice is right here.”

The middle-aged man saw he couldn’t escape and finally broke down.

Two police officers rushed over and cuffed the middle-aged man as well.

The middle-aged man, full of resentnt, said, “We’ve run rampant in Hua Country for many years, and now we’re caught by you.”

Ye Chen rely smiled: “This is what they say about evildoers eting their end.”

Li Rongrong was completely stunned by what she saw.

She was also secretly relieved; if not for Ye Chen, she would’ve been deceived today.

Zhou Susu ca up to Ye Chen and said, “You should consider switching careers and becoming a cop.

In one day, you’ve helped capture three A-level fugitives.”

Ye Chen smiled faintly: “Just let your police departnt hitch a ride with more often.”

Several antique shop owners gave thumbs up to Ye Chen.

“Young man, you’re amazing.

I respect your treasure appraising skills.”

“Young man, co work at our shop as a treasure appraiser.

I’ll offer you a yearly salary of 100,000, how about it?”

“Get out of the way; he’s mine.” At that mont, Li Rongrong stepped in front of Ye Chen.

Everyone: “…”

Li Rongrong blushed slightly: “What I an is, I want to hire Ye Chen as a treasure appraiser.”

Turning around, Li Rongrong said, “Ye Chen, why don’t you work at our shop as a treasure appraiser.”

Ye Chen shook his head: “Can’t, I still have to drive DiDi.”

“Drive DiDi?” Everyone was baffled.

How much does driving DiDi pay per month?

A treasure appraiser easily earns over a hundred ten thousand a year.

Plus, driving DiDi exposes you to wind and sun; how does it compare to the comfort of earning easy money as a treasure appraiser?

Li Rongrong was also montarily stunned.

After thinking about it, she said, “You don’t need to co every day, just when needed.

How about I offer you a million a year?”

Ye Chen thought for a mont and nodded: “Alright then!”

Ye Qian tugged at Ye Chen and said, “Ye Chen, since you’re so amazing, why don’t you take shopping for treasures?”

Ye Chen nodded: “Sure!”

The two of them left Treasure Pavilion and started browsing Taobao Street.

Taobao Street has now been developed into a tourist attraction, which includes stalls, shops, and an auction venue.

Li Rongrong’s shop is considered high-end.

Ye Chen glanced at the items on the stalls; most were fake.

He picked out a bracelet for Ye Qian for two thousand dollars, whose actual price was twenty thousand.

As they were about to leave, they noticed everyone rushing towards the largest shop on Taobao Street.

Ye Chen curiously asked, “Where is everyone going?”

“Fourth Master is appraising treasures; we’re going to have a look.”

“Fourth Master?” Ye Chen’s eyes narrowed slightly.

Fourth Master is Chen Bin.

Ye Chen wanted revenge for Lin Youyou, so he was ready to et Chen Bin.

Ye Chen followed the crowd to an antique-style building.

Three large characters “Tongbao Tower” were inscribed on the building.

At the entrance was an intricately designed sandalwood table.

On the table was an antique blue and white porcelain vase.

Beside the vase stood a young man wearing gold-rimd glasses and a suit.

This man was Chen Bin.

Chen Bin proudly cupped his hands and said, “Ladies and gentlen, this is the blue and white porcelain I just brought back from abroad, costing thirty million.

An expert just appraised it as worth a billion.”

A billion?

There was a commotion at the scene.
