Just as Shen Qiang had finished talking with Xu Nan and returned to the VIP seats,

Zhang Liwei, who had entered the hall with a heavily made-up woman, saw Xin Xiaoting laughing and chatting with Shen Qiang in the VIP seats, and his face immediately turned ashen.

"Maybe he really is a VIP of Wanxin Hesheng," said the heavily made-up woman, her eyes somewhat excited as she watched Shen Qiang.

Turning his head and seeing the look in her eyes, Zhang Liwei snapped angrily, "What, you think he's richer than me and you want him to fuck you now?"

Startled by his words, the heavily made-up woman quickly laughed coquettishly, "Young Master Wei, how is that possible? How could that guy have the strength to compare with you? Don't just look at them sitting in the VIP seats; there could be all sorts of unsavory deals happening behind the scenes."

"Besides, I truly love you."

Her words made Zhang Liwei's face look a bit better.

Then he laughed and said, "What's so great about being an appraiser? My big cousin is the real deal, the professional player. He'll be here soon. Once he's here, I'll show you what a real master is."

The heavily made-up woman immediately giggled and snuggled up to Zhang Liwei, saying, "I knew it, Young Master Wei is the most formidable. When the master arrives, we'll have him come forward and give Shen Qiang a good slap in the face."

"Let him know that compared to you, Young Master Wei, he's nothing but a lowly worm."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Liwei hugged the heavily made-up woman tighter around the waist and laughed, "As long as you understand that, I can't vouch for anything else, but when it comes to networking, I have the magic touch wherever I go."

The heavily made-up woman immediately laughed, "Young Master Wei is so charming and well-connected; it's a piece of cake for you to dominate the antiques market. How is that silly boy qualified to compete with you?"

Zhang Liwei listened with pleasure.

At that moment, a young man around the age of twenty-six or twenty-seven walked in.

Zhang Liwei quickly beckoned and said cheerfully, "Cousin, didn't you say you were going to introduce me to a divine-level antiques expert today? Has he arrived?"

The young man chuckled and responded, "Don't rush, my master will be here soon. Let me tell you, he's a real expert; it doesn't matter what kind of antique it is, nothing is beyond his understanding."

"Be humble and polite, learn just two or three tricks from him, and from then on, you can walk sideways through this entire street of antiques."

Zhang Liwei's eyes immediately lit up, "Cousin, you have to help me with this." Pointing towards Shen Qiang in the VIP seats, Zhang Liwei said coldly, "See that dumbass over there?"

"He's my classmate, showing off his little skills in antiques to me..."

Spurt!

As the young man listened to Zhang Liwei, he looked in the direction Zhang Liwei was pointing towards Shen Qiang, and the mouthful of orange juice he had just gulped down suddenly sprayed out.

Zhang Liwei was shocked.

The young man, while wiping himself with a tissue and looking embarrassed, asked, "Are you sure he's your classmate? And you still want to compete with him in eye power?"

Zhang Liwei snorted coldly, "That dumbass is dirt poor; he only shows off because he knows a bit about antiques. Have your master take me under his wing, and once I understand a bit, you'll see how I'll humiliate him."

The young man looked embarrassed.

Just then, Sun Kaiping and Boss Ma walked in. Seeing the orange juice stain on the young man's chest, Sun Kaiping frowned in displeasure, saying, "What have you done? You're regressing more and more. If you can't even maintain basic cleanliness, how are you going to deal with those treasures?"

The young man quickly nodded, "I'm sorry, Master; I know I was wrong."

Zhang Liwei was stunned and then ecstatic, extending his hand and greeting, "Master, hello, I'm his younger cousin, and I would also like to learn about antiques from you."

Sun Kaiping frowned and ignored him.

Ma, the owner standing to the side, laughed, "Hey, isn't this the young man with the luxury car?"

Zhang Liwei's face immediately darkened.

Sun Kaiping asked in surprise, "Do you know each other?"

Ma, the owner, laughed, "No, we don't."

Hearing this, Zhang Liwei ignored Ma and said to Sun Kaiping with a sincere expression, "Master Sun, I know you are a highly skilled expert. I really want to learn from you. If you teach me how to beat that guy sitting in the VIP seats, I'd be willing to do anything for you."

Sun Kaiping looked up, following the direction of Zhang Liwei's pointing finger, and his gaze fell on Shen Qiang, who was smiling and talking to Xin Xiaoting. His face immediately turned ashen.

Ma, the owner standing next to Sun Kaiping, saw Shen Qiang as well and started laughing uncontrollably.

Zhang Liwei was confused.

Sun Kaiping's face turned ashen, and flinging his sleeves, he strode towards the VIP seats, scoffing, "Very nice, just you wait, don't let me see you in the antiques market again!"

Watching Sun Kaiping leave angrily.

The young man panicked and shouted angrily, "Idiot, what are you blabbing about? Shen Qiang just beat my master a few days ago, and you say this in front of him? That's as stupid as a pig!"

After saying this, the young man ran after him anxiously, "Master, Master, I didn't tell that idiot to come."

Sun Kaiping kept walking, his face cold and unturning.

Ma, who was trailing beside him, laughed so hard his stomach hurt, "Silly kid, your master just said he wanted to learn from Shen Qiang and asked Shen Qiang to help appraise an item he had. Then you brought your cousin to say this?"

"I'm screwed!" The young man stood frozen in place.

Meanwhile, Zhang Liwei, who had heard everything, instantly turned pale.

"How is this possible, Shen Qiang is just a poor bumpkin from the countryside, he cannot be better than me, he cannot be stronger than me, if Xin Xiaoting likes him, it's because she's blind!"

The heavily made-up woman standing beside him looked towards Shen Qiang, her eyes brimming with excitement.

Just then, Zhang Liwei suddenly spoke in an angry, cold voice, "Bragging about bullshit, isn't he just a lousy appraiser? What's the big deal, I have money, I can just go to an appraisal center if I want something appraised."

The heavily made-up woman next to him was taken aback, her eyes showing embarrassment and impatience, but she immediately put on a smile and said, "Yeah, yeah, what's the big deal, we use computers without needing to build them, right? As long as we have money, those experts have to kneel and do as we say."

Zhang Liwei, heartened by this, let out a sigh of relief, seeming more at ease, and then, pulling the heavily made-up woman with him, they took their seats again.

The young man slumped over and sat down beside him.

Zhang Liwei snorted, "Don't look like your wife has been kidnapped. What's the big deal? Shen Qiang is good at treasure appraisal? He has divine eye power? Does that make him the shit? In the auction house, money is everything!"

"Whatever he bids on, I'll just raise the price and buy it. Even if he can make a great appraisal, he's just a guiding light!"

The young man beside him gritted his teeth and said, "Idiot, what are you going to do if he stops bidding after you raise the price twice?"

Zhang Liwei laughed, turned to the youth, and said, "Cousin, we can slowly resolve the issue with your master being upset. Personally apologizing to him over a meal is no problem, but right now you need to help me. With all the time you've studied, it can't have been for nothing, right?"

The young man was taken aback.

Zhang Liwei smiled and said, "Besides, your master lost to Shen Qiang. If you help me beat Shen Qiang, wouldn't that give your master some face too?"

Upon hearing this, the young man's gaze became serious. After a moment of silence, he solemnly said, "Fine, Shen Qiang has been acting too cocky lately, and I don't like him either. Working together, we might not necessarily beat him, but it's enough to make him squirm."
