Chapter 164: Chapter 164: Shocking! Shocking!_1

Dugu Zixi and Shen Tianxing watched the excited professors and old experts howling with excitement and couldn’t help but exchange smiles.

Since the handover was complete, Shen Tianxing and Dugu Zixi did not wish to stay any longer and disrupt their appraisal.

Dugu Zixi then said to Director Wang Changzheng, "Director Wang, we have some other matters, so we’ll be taking our leave now."

Wang Changzheng hurried to keep them, "Leaving so soon? Stay for a meal, allow us to express our gratitude."

Dugu Zixi replied indifferently, "No need, goodbye!"

Seeing the aloof and indifferent expression on Dugu Zixi’s handsome face, Wang Changzheng couldn’t utter another word to retain them and could only say, "Then let me see you out!"

Shen Tianxing also smiled, "Director Wang, no need to see us out, we can leave on our own, goodbye."

But ultimately, Wang Changzheng did see them to the gate.

He also told Shen Tianxing that he would later send the donation certificate and so on to the Dugu Family.

Then, after watching them get into the car, Wang Changzheng finally turned and hurried back, eager to join his old friends and appreciate those Song Dynasty antiques.

After starting the car, Dugu Zixi glanced at Shen Tianxing with a gentle gaze and asked, "Xiaoxing, where would you like to go now?"

Shen Tianxing replied with a lifted gaze and a light laugh, "Don’t we still have to deliver things to the auction house? Let’s finish that first before anything else!"

Dugu Zixi nodded, "The items for the auction house can be sent later, but still, we’ll do as you say!"

Shen Tianxing pursed her lips and chuckled softly.

Dugu Zixi drove straight to the Baorongfeng Auction House in Capital City.

This Baorongfeng Auction House was owned by the Dugu Family.

If they had good items, they would auction them at their own house; one, it was safe, and two, it helped build the reputation of their auction house.

For example, the news of Shen Tianxing putting up name-brand Song Dynasty porcelain and some paintings for auction caused an uproar in the entire collecting community.

Chinese collectors, as well as foreign ones, called one after another asking the auction house to reserve a spot for them to register for the auction.

After consulting with Dugu Zixi, the person in charge of Baorongfeng Auction House, Xu Qianjin, sent invitations to a select group of prominent families and wealthy clans from both domestic and international circles.

With the auction set to take place tomorrow, Xu Qianjin’s hair had already turned several shades whiter with worry these past few days as the Dugu Family’s young master had yet to deliver the items.

As Xu Qianjin was fretting over this matter, his cellphone rang.

He picked it up and saw it was a call from Dugu Zixi; he connected at once, "Young Master Dugu, hello!"

Dugu Zixi spoke flatly, "We will arrive at your place in about ten minutes, and we’ve brought the items; get ready."

Upon hearing this, Xu Qianjin felt a huge weight lift from his heart, "Yes, yes, I will get ready right away."

"See you in a bit."

After saying this, Dugu Zixi hung up the call.

Xu Qianjin, excitedly, threw a punch into the air, then immediately rushed to call the three senior appraisers of the auction house to join him in welcoming the arrival of Dugu Zixi and Shen Tianxing at the entrance.

They hadn’t been at the entrance long when they saw Dugu Zixi driving a black sedan slowly enter and stop in front of them.

Xu Qianjin hurried forward to open the car door for Dugu Zixi.

Dugu Zixi didn’t pay any attention to him; after getting out, he walked around the front of the car to open the door for Shen Tianxing.

He also thoughtfully used his hand to shield her as he let Shen Tianxing out, "Xiaoxing, get out of the car!"

Xu Qianjin watched this scene and heard Dugu Zixi speak to Shen Tianxing in a gentle and tender voice, and he instantly felt that he had been courting the wrong favor.

Xu Qianjin, as a manager under the Dugu Family’s enterprise, had also been fortunate to attend the engagement banquet of Dugu Zixi and Shen Tianxing.

At the engagement banquet, he knew that the young master treated his fiancée very well.

But seeing the young master’s considerate manner now, it was clear that he treated his fiancée even better than Xu had imagined.

It seemed that in the future, he would have to be more vigilant and, given the chance, be the first to open the car door for the young master’s fiancée.

Dugu Zixi closed the car door and then walked to the back of the vehicle, opening the trunk.

Inside the trunk were a collection of Song Dynasty antiques that Shen Tianxing had brought out on the way for the auction tomorrow.

They were also packed in four cardboard boxes.

This time, Xu Qianjin didn’t dare to let Dugu Zixi lift these items himself.

He and the three senior appraisers stepped forward, each carrying a cardboard box, and led Dugu Zixi and Shen Tianxing into the auction house.

The group settled down in the storage room of the auction house.

Xu Qianjin then respectfully and with a smile asked Dugu Zixi, "Young master, can we unwrap these treasures now?"

Dugu Zixi nodded, "Go ahead!"

Xu Qianjin carefully opened the cardboard box and brought out the Song Dynasty antiques, one by one, placing them on the collection room’s table that was covered with a plush red cloth.

The batch of Song Dynasty antiques that Shen Tianxing took out were all single pieces; the even rarer complete sets of famous porcelain, she had donated to the National Museum.

But even the single pieces of famous Song Dynasty porcelain were very rare when taken out.

The first piece that Xu Qianjin brought out was a famous Ru Kiln porcelain—the Thousand Peaks Green Waves Vase.

Ru Porcelain was the most prestigious of the five great porcelains of the Song Dynasty, with a saying that "Ru Kiln ranks as the leader." Its status was extremely high, and its value was beyond compare, with each piece attracting awed attention from the world.

Now, Shen Tianxing had brought out three pieces of Song Dynasty Ru Porcelain to be auctioned!

One was the Thousand Peaks Green Waves Vase, one was a sky-blue glazed bowl, and another was a sky-blue glazed ribbed jar.

Xu Qianjin’s hands trembled slightly.

The other three senior appraisers looked at the three pieces of Song Dynasty Ru Porcelain, their eyes filled with excitement, hardly daring to breathe heavily.

Next, there were Song Dynasty wine jars, calligraphy and paintings, among others, totaling eighteen Song Dynasty antiques.

Xu Qianjin could not find the words to describe his emotions.

He silently wondered if this young master and his fiancée had unearthed an ancient tomb of a Song Dynasty tycoon, which was why they could bring out so many Song Dynasty antiques for auction at once.

Xu Qianjin could now foresee how fierce and crazy tomorrow’s auction would be if he spread the news today.

The thought of that mad scene made his heart start to race.

After this auction, the reputation of Baorongfeng Auction House would definitely be even more resounding.

Xu Qianjin looked at the collection of Song Dynasty antiques and felt that taking out so many at once was like a one-time consumption of the auction house’s fame. If they were auctioned off separately, the effect might be even better.

He carefully probed Dugu Zixi again, "Young master, with so many Song Dynasty antiques this time, should we split them up and auction them off in several sessions? Doing so would be very beneficial for enhancing our auction house’s reputation!"
