After Switching Bodies, the Mad Overbearing CEO Takes Over the Entertainment Industry-Chapter 80 - I’m Super Cheap

Chapter 80: Chapter 80 I’m Super Cheap

No sooner had she spoken than a rare hush fell upon the scene for a second.

Every gaze scrutinized her youthful, sweet cheeks, this girl who looked all of seventeen or eighteen, daring to claim she could appraise this antique?

Ji Weinan was stunned. He walked behind Ji Tian and whispered, “Little sister… let’s not brag about things we’re unsure of, it’s okay to go hungry, it’s better than losing face.”

Far from listening, Ji Tian moved forward, “Shop uncle, finding an antique appraiser now won’t quell this customer’s anger, to avoid irreparable loss, why not let me try, I come super cheap.”

The middle-aged shop owner: “…”

Cheap indeed, just the cost of a meal, but he also deeply believed in the saying, you get what you pay for.

...

So, he diplomatically refused: “This matter still needs our boss’s approval, and he’s currently overseas, so I’m sorry…”

“It’s fine, what’s his phone number? I’ll talk to him, and I’ll cover the call charges,” Ji Tian pulled out her phone, looking determined to secure this meal.

The middle-aged shop owner: “…”

He wasn’t short on her phone bill money!

Ji Tian looked at him puzzled, repeating, “What’s your boss’s phone number?”

The successful man sneered with a laugh, “Go ahead, let her try, why wait for some appraiser who might be in cahoots with you? I think this little girl looks honest, I trust her, hurry up and call your boss.”

Ji Tian was touched, “Thank you for your trust, uncle, I’ll make sure you’re impressed… no, I mean, I’ll show you all a good job.”

“…”

The successful man sneered internally, not taking it seriously at all, determined to extract compensation from Lanzhu Pavilion for selling fakes. He could sue them till they went out of business.

The middle-aged shop owner had no choice but to call with a poker face, “We don’t need your phone bill, our boss’s number is confidential, I’ll do it myself.”

Ji Tian immediately turned off her phone screen, “Alright, uncle, your turn.”

His temples throbbed as he reluctantly dialed the number, sure their boss would not be duped by this brazen girl.

The call connected quickly, and the shop owner activated the speaker, the voice on the other end was somewhat pleasant.

“Is it handled?” The man’s voice was crisp and tuneful, clearly indicating a young boss.

The shop owner replied, “Not yet… we were going to find the nearest antique appraiser, but they are all a bit far, and suddenly this young girl turned up, saying she can appraise, and her condition is… that you buy her a meal.”

There was silence on the other end for about five seconds before the pleasant voice continued, “Pass the phone to her.”

Taking the phone, Ji Tian introduced herself directly, “Hello, boss, I’m a new appraiser today and if you dare entrust me with this task, I’ll show you that cheap can also mean quality.”

The man on the other end: “…”

“Your condition is just a meal?”

Ji Tian sincerely responded, “Yep, just a meal, can I order whatever I want?”

The man regarded her as a shameless runaway girl with no money for food, thick-faced enough to scrounge a meal from him.

He chuckled lightly, it was just a meal after all, consider it charity.

He agreed, “Okay, give the phone back to Mr. Qian, I have something to say to him.”

Hearing his agreement, Ji Tian promptly handed the phone back.

Mr. Qian, the shop owner, took the phone, turned off the speaker, and walked aside. Whatever the man said, he kept nodding and then came to Ji Tian with a smile, “Young lady, our boss has agreed, you can verify the authenticity, and whether you succeed or not, he’ll treat you to a meal.”

Ji Tian nodded, “OK, I’ll go take a look at the bottle.”

Ji Weinan’s face paled, muttering incessantly, “It’s over, the Ji Family is going to be infamous now.”

Wen Jiangxue lazily smiled, “What’s there to be afraid of, Mr. Ji will cover any mishaps, snagging a meal is enough.”

He Chenxi felt this was somewhat immoral, but eventually agreed with Wen Jiangxue’s sentiment, sighing, “Let Ji Tian try… after all, it’s a free meal… we can only shamelessly enjoy it.”

Quan Jingyou touched his nose with a guilty conscience, lacking confidence, “I believe in Sister Tian…”

Qin Jiangsheng glanced at the successful man’s bottle, his eyes flickering subtly before he went in.

“What are you doing?” Yu Chuang asked in a hurry, failing to stop him.

“Helping her,” Qin Jiangsheng left the words behind as he went inside.

One not enough, another adds to the chaos.

[Help, I’m embarrassed for others again, how shameful, just to have a meal, I’ve swindled Lanzhu Pavilion’s boss, and does this boss have a hole in his brain? He even agreed.]

[Tsk, if you ask me, the boss is just kind, giving her a meal, as if she knows anything about antiques, just causing trouble, and she’s some wealthy family’s young miss, even a random beggar would do better than her.]

[Some people are really funny, if the boss is happy to give her the meal, why sour grapes from you guys, what if she figures it out? This could save Lanzhu Pavilion over a hundred thousand, saying a million isn’t an exaggeration, a bunch of bumpkins, you don’t know anything and start to criticize.]

The live stream audience frantically shared the broadcast, nothing short of inviting all relatives to watch Ji Tian show her stuff; within a mere five minutes, today’s live stream was leading in popularity, all attention fixated on Ji Tian.

The director even skipped the coverage of Bai Tingyu’s side and kept the focus on Ji Tian.

Ji Tian mentally called out in her mind, “King of Competition, I want to use the ‘Treasure Identification Skill.’”

King of Competition appeared quickly this time: [Are you sure, Host? You only have one Treasure Identification Skill left, once you use it, it’s gone.]

Ji Tian nodded without hesitation, “Certain.”

[Ding, Treasure Identification Skill activated, wishing the Host an enjoyable experience.]

There was no change in her body until she directed her gaze at the neatly arranged antiques, then instantly her vision altered, displaying the most detailed information about the antiques, even tracing back to the time periods they were unearthed, leaving her tongue-tied.

And those two identical Tang Five Generation secret color porcelains also changed in her vision, she knew in a moment which was real and which was fake.

The successful man placed the secret color porcelain jug in front of Ji Tian and looked up slightly, “Can you tell?”

The middle-aged shop owner frowned, “Appraisal requires examination of patina, observation of the antique’s degree of patination, examining details, checking age, and using instruments to verify authenticity, it’s not something solved at a glance.”

Ji Tian nodded in agreement, “Indeed, get me a magnifying glass and a spotlight torch, otherwise I’m afraid you won’t be able to see properly.”

The successful man barely held back a laugh, which burst forth the next second upon hearing Ji Tian’s words.

“I forgot to say, uncle, thanks for your trust, this one is indeed a fake, if you handle it well, you might even be able to resell it for a few thousand.”
