He's Actually A Sexy Girl? I Erected!

Especially the way he was so concentrated and serious in his explanation was very charming.

For a moment, she was actually mesmerized.

“Do you have any questions about the doubts I’ve raised?”

After finishing describing the issues with the piece of calligraphy, Tang Feng turned back to Xinling Xu and found her staring blankly at him, looking totally infatuated, and he was momentarily at a loss for words. “I’m asking you a question here.”

Xinling Xu then snapped back to reality, “Ah? I think what you said makes sense.”

“Oh man, to think that my dad spent hundreds of thousands and ended up buying a fake. I don’t even know how to break it to him.”

Her little face immediately crumpled like a steamed bun.

“Just tell him the truth. People who deal with antiques have a pretty strong mental fortitude,” Tang Feng could only comfort her this way for now.

“You don’t understand my dad. He really cares about his face, especially in front of me. He always wants to appear as if he can do anything.”

“If I tell him this piece of calligraphy is a fake, he will definitely feel utterly humiliated…”

Xinling Xu couldn’t help but sigh. The thought of her father’s disappointed face made her feel waves of discomfort.

She fell silent for a moment, then suddenly caught sight of Tang Feng’s authentic work and her eyes lit up, “Right, why don’t you sell me that piece of calligraphy? I could secretly replace it and not tell him; wouldn’t that solve the problem?”

Ye Feng was somewhat speechless when he heard her suggestion, “Is it really okay to deceive him like that?”

The more Xinling Xu thought about it, the more feasible it seemed. She hurriedly clutched at his arm and rubbed it pleadingly, “Please, just think of it as doing me a favor. Please, I’m begging you.”

Tang Feng’s biggest weakness was women acting coquettishly, especially coming from a woman capable of knocking out a boxing coach. He immediately got goosebumps all over.

“I can sell it to you, but it must be at market price. I’m not going to give you a discount just because you are my friend.”

He was a man of principle and wouldn’t be swayed just because she had fluttered her eyelashes at him.

“I know, just tell me, how much?”

Xinling Xu pouted unhappily, although she had no intention of taking advantage of him, his directness still made her uncomfortable.

This guy is really a money-grubber!

“Two million.” Tang Feng didn’t take advantage of the situation to overcharge but quoted her a price based on the system’s valuation.

“Only two million?” Upon hearing this figure, Xinling Xu instantly breathed a sigh of relief.

Her father had apparently spent over three million on the fake.

She had braced herself, thinking the authentic piece would cost at least four to five million, and was prepared to bleed a substantial amount.

She didn’t expect it to be so cheap.

Tang Feng was at a loss for words. What did she mean by “only two million”?

Many people might not save up two million in their entire lives, but to a rich girl like Xinling Xu, it apparently still seemed cheap.

The gap between people really was astoundingly huge.

“Hey, are you giving me such a low price because of me?” It seemed like Xinling Xu got the wrong idea, looking at him with a bashful face.

“No, I’m not, I haven’t! I’m really asking for the market price,” Tang Feng honestly denied it.

But to Xinling Xu, his demeanor seemed like stubborn denial.

“If you like me, just say it. Even though there are a lot of people pursuing me, and the competition is fierce, you still stand a good chance,” Xinling Xu accidentally let slip what was on her mind and purposefully rubbed against him.

Tang Feng couldn’t take it anymore, “You’ve really got the wrong idea, I…”

Xinling Xu didn’t give him a chance to explain, “Stop, no matter what, I have to thank you.”

“How about this, I’ll treat you to lunch at noon, and you can’t refuse, okay?”

Between the two of them, there seemed to be a whiff of something called ambiguity.

Zhang Jicheng, completely ignored as if he were thin air, watched with jaw-dropping astonishment.

Isn’t this guy involved with Qin Yanan?

How come there’s now a Miss Xu popping up?

It seems I’m getting old.

The young people nowadays really know how to play!

…

Xu Xinling originally planned to invite Tang Feng to the best restaurant in Zhonghai for a lavish meal.

But Tang Feng felt that since there were only two of them, there was no need to be extravagant, and since they also had to go to the gem gambling event mentioned by Zhou Bingkun in the afternoon, there was no need to go too far.

So, he took her to a small nearby restaurant instead.

It must be said that Xu Xinling’s attractiveness was really outstanding.

The patrons in the restaurant almost popped their eyes out.

And the looks he received were filled with waves of hostility.

Tang Feng estimated that there were about twenty male customers in the restaurant at the time; eighteen of them harbored murderous intentions towards him.

The other two were a couple and not interested in women.

Having such a female companion really drew a lot of enmity.

However, Tang Feng was slowly starting to enjoy this feeling of being envied and hated.

So, during the meal, he deliberately engaged in some intimate interactions with Xu Xinling, and Miss Xu cooperated quite cleverly.

This made the group of male customers so angry that they couldn’t even eat their meals.

After finishing their meal, the two of them returned to Ya Garden.

By then, the customers he had drawn over had gradually dispersed.

A sneaky staff member ran over to report the day’s earnings to him.

“Mr. Tang, our sales volume this morning was eight and a half million, which is more than the past week’s revenue. You’re simply my idol; I’ve decided to follow your example closely in the future and strive for continuous improvement.”

Tang Feng remembered this guy seemed to be named Ge Hui, also an appraiser at Ya Garden.

However, his appraisal skills were mediocre at best, capable of dealing only with small items worth tens of thousands.

As for items worth over a hundred thousand or even more, currently only Zhang Jicheng and Tang Feng were qualified to intervene.

Although his appraisal abilities were unimpressive, his skills in flattering were top-notch.

He was the first person in Ya Garden to address him as “teacher.”

“Don’t say that, Hui, you’re an old-timer at Ya Garden, and I still have a lot to learn from you.”

Since Tang Feng had not been at Ya Garden for long and was young, he naturally didn’t put on any airs of seniority.

But Ge Hui disagreed with him, correcting him emphatically.

“There is an order to the mastery of knowledge, and the accomplished should be the teacher.”

“Even though Mr. Tang is young, your appraisal expertise is absolutely top-tier throughout the entire Zhonghai Antique Circle.”

“Having the opportunity to learn from you is something many people would fight tooth and nail for; so please, don’t be modest.”
