Chapter 66 This is Li Chengqian's jade pendant
The three men harbored deep resentment towards Tang Guojun, and their words were laced with sarcasm, making Chen Yue want to laugh.
Tang Guojun chuckled.
"It's as if you'd be willing to share this matter if you had the chance. The fact that the old man contacted our Tang family first shows that our Tang family holds a place in his heart."
"You only dare to complain in front of me. If you're so capable, go to Zhongnan Mountain and argue with the old man. Or Xiao Yue is right here. What's wrong? You're too scared?"
Li Da and his group really didn't dare. Just then, the door to the private room was pushed open again, and a man and a woman entered together.
The man's name was Zhou Yuan, the woman's name was Liu Ying, and with Tang Guojun and the other two, all six buyers listed in the notebook were present.
The oldest among them, Zhou Yuan, is 66, and the youngest, Tang Guojun, is 53. But without exception, they all look very young and don't look like people of that age at all.
In addition to Tang Guojun, everyone else prepared a gift for Chen Yue. It wasn't anything valuable, but something like a black card.
Within the domestic industry, they are second to none. With this, Chen Yue will become their group's most distinguished guest and enjoy many hidden benefits.
The purpose of doing this was to win over Chen Yue.
"Xiao Yue, will you be collecting all of Chen's goods from now on? Or will it be once a month, like before?"
Although it was their first time meeting Chen Yue, they had dealt with the old man quite a bit before and quickly became acquainted.
Chen Yue looked at Li Da, who had asked the question, and slowly nodded.
"Yes, Grandpa is getting old, so I'll be the one collecting the goods at home from now on. The routine will be the same as always, once a month, but due to some reasons, the initial volume of goods will not be large."
Increasing start-up capital is a process. Without enough money, he cannot buy more modern goods, and the amount of mountain products he can exchange for will be limited. Therefore, this needs to be discussed with them in advance.
"It's fine, as long as there's stock."
Li Da waved his hand with a smile, seemingly unconcerned. The old man was the same way back then; he didn't have much stock initially, but it gradually increased later.
Although they didn't understand the situation either.
"Xiao Yue, you're in your mid-twenties, right? Do you have a girlfriend yet?"
Liu Ying looked elegant and wealthy, giving people a comfortable feeling. At first glance, she looked to be in her thirties or forties, but she was actually 55 years old and was from Beijing.
They mainly deal in jewelry and gold, and also have a great influence in the entertainment industry, making them one of the most powerful companies in the industry.
Upon hearing this question, Tang Guojun and his men all perked up their ears.
I dated someone in college, but we broke up, and I haven't dated anyone since.
Chen Yue responded generously.
Liu Ying's eyes lit up immediately.
"Oh? It won't do to stay single forever. You're the only grandson the old man has. He needs to hurry up and have more descendants for the Chen family. Luckily, I have a niece who's about your age."
She's a big star now, have you heard of Liu Ziyi? Shall I introduce you two?
"Oh? Liu Ziyi is your niece?"
Chen Yue was taken aback. She had seen this woman online several times before; she was one of the most popular young actresses and was very beautiful.
"Xiao Yue, if you think it's too high-profile, why don't you consider my niece? She's very pretty and has started her own clothing company."
Seeing this, Li Da immediately followed suit, and the others were not to be outdone, all wanting to find a partner for Chen Yue.
"I appreciate your kindness, uncles and aunts, but I'm not in the mood to think about these things right now. Let's talk about it another time."
Chen Yue was a bit confused by them and refused them all.
In the past, if someone introduced him to a beautiful female celebrity, he would have excitedly agreed. But ever since his trip to the Tang Dynasty, his mindset has changed.
He's currently focused entirely on completing that hidden mission in the Tang Dynasty and has absolutely no interest in finding a partner or dating.
The main purpose of this meal was for everyone to get to know each other, exchange contact information, and for the next transaction to take place on the eleventh day of the twelfth lunar month, which is still more than half a month away.
The antique fair officially started on the morning of the second day in the Sihai Hall on the 18th floor. Chen Yue had never participated in such an event before and found it quite interesting.
This antiques exhibition and sale only received invitations from fifty or sixty people, but the number of participants reached one or two hundred, because many of them did not come alone.
It's an exhibition and trade fair about antiques and art collections. The hall is divided into ten sections, each displaying different types of antiques or artworks.
Chen Yue and his group, who were invited to participate, strolled around these areas. If they saw any items they liked, they could talk to the sellers. Of course, not everyone would buy anything; just looking around and exchanging ideas was a good experience.
The trade fair will last for two hours, ending at 12:00. After that, it will be lunchtime. At 2:00 PM, Rongyun Auction House will hold an auction here.
Chen Yue had no intention of making a purchase; he simply looked around. His gaze lingered on the pottery and jade section, where the displays primarily featured ceramics and jade artifacts.
There are handicrafts made by modern masters as well as genuine antiques, all clearly labeled, so you don't have to worry about being cheated.
Chen Yue's gaze was fixed on one of the jade pendants.
The following section describes a "Tang Zhenguan period celadon jade pendant with dragon and phoenix design in the shape of a heng".
It is a flat, plate-shaped pendant with an elegant arc shape, conforming to the typical style of "heng" in Tang Dynasty aristocratic pendants. It is 7.8 cm long and 4.6 cm wide.
"Chen Yue, do you really like this jade? But with such a beautiful color and such perfect preservation, this contemporary antique jade must be very expensive."
As Chen Yue stared intently at the jade, a pleasant fragrance wafted into his nostrils, followed by a familiar voice.
Chen Yue turned his head and saw that it was Yang Xue. He immediately smiled and said.
"Oh, I was just looking. The item is nice, but it's a pity that there's no record of its origin."
"Anyway, in ancient times, this kind of jade was not something that ordinary people could wear; it should have been worn by royalty and nobility."
Chen Yue agreed with this view because he had seen the jade before.
That was the first time Li Chengqian and Du He visited Shennong Temple. Li Chengqian was wearing this jade pendant on his waist, and it was exactly the same.
"So, if my grandfather and I hadn't changed the history of that plane, the jade wouldn't have disappeared with Li Chengqian's death; instead, it was passed down."
Chen Yue didn't know how to describe his feelings upon seeing it here; he just found it interesting and had a dreamlike feeling of traveling through time.
"Xiao Yue, do you like this jade? How about I buy it for you?"
Li Da and two others walked over and happened to see this scene. He chuckled and said something.
"No need, Uncle Li, I'm just taking a look."
Yang Xue glanced at Li Da with some curiosity, then suddenly seemed to remember something and immediately stretched out her hands.
"You must be General Manager Li from Hairui Group. I am Yang Xue from Baorui Group, and Lin Rui is my husband."
Upon hearing the name Lin Rui, Li Dacai shook hands with her and glanced at him and Chen Yue.
Chen Yue immediately explained.
"Uncle Li, she and I were college classmates. We just happened to run into each other at the antique fair."
Upon hearing this connection, Li Da's attitude improved considerably, and he smiled as he spoke.
"Oh, so you're Xiao Yue's classmate. Hello, Mr. Yang."
