Everyone was waiting for Lin Ran's answer, but they saw Lin Ran shook his head and said something ambiguous.

"What do you mean? Is there something wrong with this thing?" Baldhead asked directly.

"Of course." Lin Ran looked at the plum bottle, and then said to the other three people: "Boss, you should know the reason, right?"

When the boss heard this, he was stunned.

He couldn't help but said: "Brother Lin, don't talk nonsense!"

Lin Ran glanced at the boss and laughed: "Boss, I'm not saying yours is a fake. Don't worry."

"Of course it's not a fake. I personally inspected and accepted it. How can it be better than you, a young boy?" The boss said directly without caring about the image.

"Of course the fake is not a fake, it's just that." Lin Ran was not angry at all, and changed the subject, "It's just that your blue and white plum vase has obviously been tampered with."

The boss was stunned: "How is that possible!"

The bald man didn't understand and looked at Ke Yu doubtfully: "Miss, what does this mean?"

"Modified means repaired." Ke Yu replied.

After all, we are an antique family, so we still have some basic attempts.

Although it is not fake, if it has been repaired, the price will naturally drop.

Because there is no guarantee that the repaired part will be exactly the same as the original one.

Moreover, they are not made by the same master.

The bald Lin Ran paused for a moment, showing an expression of sudden realization, and then asked: "Then what?"

"Shut up." Ke Yu didn't bother to pay attention to her and scolded her directly.

After the boss heard Lin Ran's words, his expression changed instantly.

He glanced at Luo Yuyang and said, "What evidence do you have that the plum bottle has been tampered with?"

His tone became particularly unfriendly and he directly asked the other party if he had any evidence.

Lin Ran said expressionlessly: "It's very simple, this crack is abnormal."

According to the normal crack marks, the cracks all over the vase will not disappear suddenly, but will have a gradual process until they disappear.

Moreover, in the lower half of the plum bottle, there is still a part of the patina that looks very abrupt and unnatural.

Lin Ran speculated that that part had been damaged during the repair. If there was no patina after repair, it would look extremely unnatural.

However, they were not very good at distressing, so the patina on the lower half melted due to the hot weather, and half of it was suddenly missing.

Normal patina will never undergo such regular changes.

This made Lin Ran feel a sudden feeling when he saw the plum bottle.

The cracks on the surface look very small, but they don't feel broken. There are still traces of rust on the bottle, but the quality is intact.

The boss listened to Lin Ran's explanation and clutched the abacus tightly with both hands.

He was extremely horrified in his heart, and there was a strange color in his eyes.

He forced himself to calm down and asked in a rough voice: "Don't be slanderous! How old are you to know how to restore antiques? Do you know how much work this is!"

Lin Ran saw the angry expression on his boss's face and stopped talking.

Although the others don't know much about treasure appraisal, they are all in business.

Unexpectedly, the boss was immediately angered and started attacking directly.

Ke Yu couldn't help but want to laugh at his boss, but it seemed that it was not suitable to show his face now.

He just said to the bald man: "Ahem."

The bald man understood what the young lady meant, and the flesh on his face suddenly twisted together.

He came directly in front of the boss with an angry expression on his face.

"What do you mean? This gentleman is the treasure appraiser I hired. He has already told you that this Ming Dynasty blue and white plum vase has signs of repair, but you are still making excuses?"

His voice became particularly shrill.

When the boss saw the change in the bald man's attitude, he instantly became nervous.

But he still had to bite the bullet and said: "That's not what I meant, but I personally inspected and accepted this plum vase. There can be no problems!"

"Are you treating us as a three-year-old child?" The bald man refused to accept this trick and yelled loudly, "If you really have evidence, bring it out and let's have a face-to-face confrontation."

"Okay, okay, brother, don't get excited yet." Lin Ran quickly grabbed the bald head.

Originally it was just a bluff in the industry, something that every treasure appraiser and businessman would experience, but if the bald man made such a fuss, it would escalate into a physical conflict.

It's true that a layman can make this kind of problem.

Lin Ran felt a little speechless.

But Baldhead was angry and not easy to fool. If Lin Ran dared to provoke him, he would beat Lin Ran as well.

He became more and more excited until Ke Yu stepped forward to stop him.

"have you had enough!"

Although people like Baldhead are hateful, they still know priorities.

He knew very well what would happen if he offended Ke Yu, and he immediately lowered his head like a kitten who had done something wrong.

"Miss, me."

It was obviously the young lady who asked him to come forward, but now she was yelling at him in turn, which made him a little aggrieved.

Ke Yu knew that this person was unreliable, so he had to step forward himself.

"Boss, have you repaired this thing?" Ke Yu asked directly.

Lin Ran heard her voice and instantly felt that it sounded familiar.

She wore sunglasses and a mask, which is still relatively rare in this era.

However, her speaking voice was very nice, clear and sweet.

Lin Ran became curious about who this girl was.

The boss was frightened by the bald head. When he heard Ke Yu's question, he immediately waved his hand and said, "Miss Ke, this is a misunderstanding!"

"Miss Ke?"

Lin Ran turned his head and looked at Ke Yu.

Ke Yu originally didn't want to show up, but he didn't know what happened.

But she didn't expect the boss to betray her directly. He simply took off his mask, looked at Lin Ran and said angrily: "What are you looking at? I've never seen a beautiful woman before."

Lin Ran suddenly felt speechless and smiled bitterly: "No, Miss Ke, why are you dressed like this? How can I see a beautiful woman like this? I can't even see your face!"

Lin Ran was already showing mercy, as if he was here to rob someone.

That is to say, she is Ke Yu. If it were anyone else, if she were dressed like this in an antique shop, the boss would be a hundred times more wary of robbery or theft.

Now that his identity has been revealed, Ke Yu no longer hides himself.

Ask Lin Ran directly: "You said this was restored, how much should it be worth?"

Lin Ran did not answer directly.

As a treasure appraiser, the unspoken rules in the industry are still very clear.

When you go to other people's antique shops to look at the goods, even if you find fakes or imitations, you usually won't point them out directly.

After all, we are all in this line of work, and we don’t see each other when we look up and see you when we look down.

If you talk too hard, it's easy to offend people.

In addition, I can't guarantee whether I have had an eye shot.

So just now he just clicked to the end, and also used the subtext of "moved".

Unexpectedly, the boss did not know how to praise and insisted on breaking the casserole and asking the truth.

Now that it's fine, Ke Yu is asking himself the price again.

I completely fell out with my boss.
