In the evening, under a big tree on campus, Dong Tianyue and the old man were on the phone. He told the old man about meeting Gao Yide in detail. The old man laughed. Dong Tianyue, for some reason, paused and kept silent, "This person has a lot of connection with my Dong family."

Dong Tianyue was a little confused. The old man smiled and said, "My Dong family's skills have always been passed down from inside but not outside, and men are not from girls. Few people pass on their skills to outsiders, but there are exceptions in everything. About twenty years ago, someone saved my life, and he is Yide! In order to thank Yide for saving his life, I have passed on some of his antique identification skills one after another. Although I have reserved what I have passed on, it is enough for him to enjoy it for a lifetime. So, in a sense, Yide is your senior brother."

Dong Tianyue was a little surprised. Unexpectedly, his grandfather had accepted an outsider as his apprentice. He has now grown into the chairman of an auction company. And he started learning skills from his grandfather at the age of 6. He has been studying for 18 years and has not yet entered the first-class realm. But then he said that it is a good thing to have such a senior brother of the chairman?

"Yue'er, meeting is fate. Originally, I planned to wait for you to graduate and introduce you to Yide and let him introduce you to the auction house for a while. I didn't expect that you were so destined to meet you so soon. The world is really small!" Mr. Dong sighed.

At that time, Gao Yide was in his forties, and Dong Qingshan had just passed the age of knowing his life. By chance, Gao Yide saved Mr. Dong's life, and the two became friends from then on. In later interactions, Mr. Dong found that Gao Yide also liked to collect, so he taught him a few tricks from time to time. Only then did Gao Yide realize that the inconspicuous old man he accidentally saved was actually a hidden antique appraisal master, so he wanted to learn from his master. After some investigation, Mr. Dong accepted Gao Yide as his only outer disciple, and at the same time told Gao Yide not to tell outsiders about his master's master!

Although Gao Yide entered the antique circle late, he had a good talent and was willing to specialize in the antique industry. In less than ten years, he became famous in the antique industry. After he was fifty-five, he could only know the authenticity of antiques as soon as he got started, so he was called "a little taller"!

"Grandpa, do you agree with me entering the Yide Auction House to work?" Dong Tianyue asked.

The old man hesitated on the other side of the phone for a moment and said, "Don't worry about this matter. I'll talk to Yide later. How to decide for the specific reason, please listen to it!"

Then, the old man hung up the phone.

At night, Dong Tianyue was still thinking about Gao Yide, thinking to himself that no wonder Mr. Gao also likes to walk birds and play with walnuts. I guess it was influenced by his grandfather?

At about ten o'clock, Dong Tianyue's cell phone rang, and the caller ID was an unfamiliar number.

"Who?" Dong Tianyue put down the half-carved frozen seal in his hand and answered the phone. Next week is the birthday of Jing'er, the class girl in their class. The frozen seal is as bright and transparent as Jing'er. It was the birthday gift that Dong Tianyue specially prepared to give to Jing'er. I don't know if she would take it? It was the first time that Dong Tianyue met the goddess who made him nightmarish. So, he wanted to carve the most beautiful seal to give to Jing'er to show his innocence.

"Is it my junior brother?" The voice of an old man who was slightly excited came from the opposite side. He looked like he was about sixty years old.

"You are? Are you..." A name popped up in Dong Tianyue's mind. Before Dong Tianyue finished speaking, Old Master Gao said, "I am Gao Yide, the old man who walked birds in the morning!"

"You are really old man! Grandpa has told me, thank you for saving my grandpa's life!" Dong Tianyue said solemnly.

"It is a blessing given to me by God if you can save your master's life! Besides, the master treats me as much as a mountain of kindness, and I have never been able to repay him. I should be the one who should say thank you!"

Indeed, if Mr. Dong had not taught his unique skills in high art ethics, his collection career would not have been so exciting, and he would not have achieved what he has today.

"I shouldn't have disturbed you at such a late night. But after talking to the master, I was so excited that I couldn't sleep. If I didn't make this call, I would probably have to sleep all night. I was curious this morning. Why did I feel inexplicably intimate when I first saw you? It turns out that you are my junior brother!"

"If you don't disturb me, I haven't slept yet. I have a good impression of the old man! Mr., you must have something else to do when you ask me, right?" Dong Tianyue asked straight to the point.

"Little junior brother, stop calling me old man. Just shout like this and be out of here. Please call me senior brother! Although the master has never let me tell anyone that I am his disciple, I have always regarded the master as my dearest mentor in my heart! Without the cultivation of my mentor, I would not have the present day of my high art deity!" Mr. Gao was a little excited when he said this, and his words were filled with tremolo.

In the past, when some big names in the collection industry praised Gao Yide's ability to identify his skills, he always wanted to say in his heart: "My ability is far inferior to my master!" Gao Yide always wanted to tell the whole world that he had a master who was a master, and all his abilities were taught by his master, but he did not dare. The master was not sure! Therefore, after hearing that Dong Tianyue was the master's grandson, Gao Yide was extremely happy, and he wanted to repay his master's kindness to Dong Tianyue.

"My junior brother, my master and I are already angry about your entry into the Art and Moral Auction House. Originally, I planned to hire you as the deputy manager of the evaluation department and become a regular person after a few months. But the master disagreed and said that you can't let you go through the back door, which will break the rules in the industry, and say that it is not good for you to be too smooth and you must start from the bottom and grow up step by step. I wonder what you think, junior brother?" Mr. Gao asked carefully. As himself, let alone being a deputy manager of Dong Tianyue, he would just ask him to abdicate and give up the position of chairman to Dong Tianyue, and Gao Yide was willing to let him go. However, the master did not allow him to spoil Dong Tianyue.

However, young people are arrogant and arrogant. If Dong Tianyue insists on setting up a manager and being more powerful, it is hard to refuse Gao Yide, but he must not ignore the master's words. If that happens, he will be in a dilemma.

"Haha, then I'll call you a senior brother. Senior brother, you're so tall, you're so tall, you're so general. If you haven't been a soldier, you're probably not a good general. If you're a teacher, you're probably not a good principal. Besides, I'm still studying and don't have time to manage the business of the auction house wholeheartedly. I really don't dare to be a manager. With my qualifications and appraisal of water, it's good to be a lowest-level appraiser." Dong Tianyue said with a smile.

Gao Yide was stunned at first, and then smiled with relief. Unexpectedly, Dong Tianyue was so reasonable and did not have the stinking airs of some children of aristocratic families. It seemed that the master had a good teaching!

"It would be best if you can understand the good intentions of the master! Junior brother, you are too modest. You are a little embarrassed by your skills in identifying my birdcage and walnut decoction in the morning. Being the lowest-level appraiser is a bit aggrieved. Let's do this, what specific work to do, which department to arrange your working hours, you will come to our company tomorrow, and we will discuss it in person." Mr. Gao said.

"Yes, OK." Dong Tianyue said.

The next day was Sunday, and Dong Tianyue came to Yide Auction as promised.

The Yide Auction House building is eleventh floor high, and the chairman's office is on the tenth floor. What's more depressing is that Dong Tianyue was blocked by two security guards outside the gate on the first floor.

When the two security guards saw that Dong Tianyue was dressed as a student and could not take out any powerful identity license, they stopped him and said, "The auction house is important, and idle people are not allowed to enter!"

"Haha, the two brothers are in harmony, I'll go in and find someone." Dong Tianyue said with a smile.

"Look for someone? Who are you looking for?" asked a tall security guard.

"Look for Gao Yide." Dong Tianyue said lightly.

"Gao Yide? Why does this name sound familiar?" The tall security guard muttered to himself, then looked at another thin security guard.

Another thin security guard grabbed his hair a few times in confusion, then suddenly realized it and said excitedly: "Oh, it seems that Chairman Gao is called Gao Yide!"

"Yes! No wonder the name sounds so familiar?" said a tall security guard. He looked at Dong Tianyue again. He dared to ask us for a chairman. What is the identity of the chairman? What kind of chairman is that he can see any cat and dog. He said disdainfully: "Boy, you also yell at the daimyo of our chairman? Don't be scared and messed up if you are free! You can stay wherever you are cool!"

"I just want to find your chairman. If you don't believe it, you can call and ask." Dong Tianyue was also a little angry. Although he didn't want to be as knowledgeable as ordinary people, ordinary people insisted on affecting your mood.

"Damn, who are you kid? If you ask me, I will ask, how shameless will I be?" The tall security guard scolded. He was the kind of security guard with developed limbs and simple minds. Another thin security guard looked at Dong Tianyue carefully. Seeing that although he was not well dressed, he exuded an extraordinary temperament on his body, he said, "Wait."

"Hey, please pick up the chairman's office..." The thin security guard took out the pager to contact the top.

Soon, the other party answered the phone, and then he heard the security guard nodding constantly and saying, "Yes, yes, sure, sure!" This shocked the tall security guard. Could it be that he was misleading, this kid has a big background?

The thin security guard who was calling walked to his companion and whispered nervously, shocking his companion.

After a while, an old man with gray hair went downstairs to greet Dong Tianyue with a smile. He nodded to Dong Tianyue first, and then said lightly to the female secretary beside him with a gloomy face: "Secretary Chu, these two security guards have been fired, notify the Finance Department to pay the bill immediately!"

The two security guards were scared. The thin man, who was a little smarter, reflected that they were mean and offended the big man whom the chairman valued very much!

"Don't, don't interfere, Chairman, we were wrong, please don't drive us away!" the thin man begged.

"Yes, Chairman, we thought this kid was not a good person. He wanted to hit the bad idea of ​​antiques in our industry, so he stopped him." The tall man said with a regretful face.

"Hmph, this Mr. Dong is my most precious guest. How dare you neglect it? You don't have any eyesight at all, why are you still stuck in the auction house? What are you doing?" Gao Yide said with great majesty: "Secretary Chu, don't you understand what I said?"

Gao Yide was indeed a little angry and thought to himself: Do you know that he is my junior brother? Do you dare to let him be turned away? Didn’t you see that the junior brother has a different temperament and is unique? He has no vision at all, so it’s time to change someone!

"Oh, yes, do it now!" Secretary Chu was a little dazed. This was the first time she saw the chairman fire employees for a trivial matter. It seemed that the boy in front of him was quite a bit of a small background?

Just when Secretary Chu was about to take out his cell phone to call, Dong Tianyue reached out to stop him and said, "No, when you see antiques, you will also have times when you see people, haha. As a security guard, it is right to strictly examine every guest visiting the auction house. Please ask the chairman to show mercy!"

When the two security guards saw that Dong Tianyue was generous in repaying their grievances with kindness, they said with gratitude: "Thank you, thank you! It's because we look down on others, but because we don't know Mount Tai, and we will never dare to do it again!"

"Hmph, why don't you thank Mr. Dong quickly. If he hadn't pleaded, you would immediately get out of bed!" Mr. Gao shouted.

"Yes!" The two security guards were frightened.

"Haha, Mr. Dong, you are wronged. Let's go to my office for tea." Mr. Gao came over and made a gesture of invitation and said kindly.

Secretary Chu was very surprised. What is Mr. Dong’s origin? I was worried that the chairman would meet him in person? She had been in the company for two years. That is, last year, Mr. Ma Xiandu, a large collector in northern China, came here, and the chairman would meet him in person.

The elevator went up the tenth floor and entered the chairman's office. As soon as Dong Tianyue entered the door, he smelled the tea fragrance of Kung Fu tea. Mr. Gao ordered Secretary Chu: "Close the door, no one is allowed to come in and disturb me!"

"Yes, Chairman!" Secretary Chu bowed and retreated, glanced at Dong Tianyue with bright eyes, as if he wanted to engrave Dong Tianyue's appearance into his mind.

"Come on, junior brother!"

Seeing that Secretary Chu closed the door and left, Gao Yide kindly changed his words and called Dong Tianyue "Little Junior Brother".

Gao Yide led Dong Tianyue towards the east wall. A three-piece set of red sandalwood tea table was placed beside the center of the east wall.

The two-layer small tea table has a dark purple appearance, and seems to have cow hair patterns and a shiny surface. There is a red sandalwood chair on each side of the tea table. There is a set of Kung Fu tea sets on the tea table. The tea in the teapot is steaming hot and fragrant.

Mr. Gao sat on the chair of the Grand Master on the left and asked Dong Tianyue to sit opposite him and said, "Junior brother, how about this three-piece set of red sandalwood tea table? Please take a palm."

"I dare not. Well, it's really good." Dong Tianyue glanced at the coffee table and the Grand Master's Chair and said: "This red sandalwood chair is finely crafted and has clear patterns. The pattern on the backrest includes magpies and plum blossoms, blessings and longevity patterns, representing good luck and good fortune. The upper part of the chair is carved with the "Eight Immortals", that is, the weapon of the "Eight Immortals". The lower part of the chair is also tightly wrapped by four "beast claws". Judging from the patina, shape and carving, it should be the old red sandalwood from the Tianqi period tomorrow, and it seems to be the hand of the carpenter emperor?"

Mr. Gao's eyes lit up and he raised his thumbs up and said, "Good eyesight, it is indeed the work of the carpenter Emperor Xizong of Ming. If it weren't for his works, I wouldn't have been so precious. It seems that my junior brother has already received the true teachings of his master! This three-piece set of Ming Xizong's red sandals is the treasure of my office, and I am reluctant to sit for him by ordinary people."

There was a very interesting emperor in the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Xizong of Ming. He didn't become an emperor, and he insisted on being a carpenter, and he did a great job! He was not doing his job properly, dealing with axes, saws, planes, and carving knives all day long, and was obsessed with his carpenter career. Emperor Xizong of Ming Dynasty often sent internal supervisors to bring the well-made furniture and carved wood toys to the market for sale. The people in the city bought it at a high price. Emperor Tianqi was even happier and often did not rest until the second half of the night. He often asked the eunuchs around him to be his assistant.

Dong Tianyue recognized that this was a furniture work by Emperor Xizong of Ming at a glance. Mr. Gao was very pleased. This was his side assessment of Dong Tianyue. The old man was thinking that with this vision, no one dared to say anything even if I recommend my junior brother to be a department manager.

"Haha, the tricks of calving are not worth mentioning. I haven't even learned half of my grandfather's ability, so I feel ashamed." Dong Tianyue said humbly.

"Yes, the master's antique skills are too deep, and it is simply unfathomable! Although the high imitation skills are the direct skills of your Dong family, the teacher insisted on passing them to me, which also gave me a deeper understanding of high imitation calligraphy, painting and carving works." The old man said while pouring tea for Dong Tianyue and laughed: "Junior brother, this is the Fuyuanchang Round Tea from the Guangxu period, known as the Pu'er Tea King, you can try it."

The Fuyuanchang name round tea has a strong spirit and fully demonstrates the characteristics of Yiwu Zhengshan Pu'er tea. The blue and purple ones are more masculine teas. The majestic and strong momentum fully represents the majestic and masculine beauty of Pu'er tea and is the "Pu'er tea king" among the Pu'er tea ranks today. A cake is more than 30,000 to 40,000 yuan. The deeper the age, the more expensive it is.

"Haha, good tea! This is a national treasure-level Pu'er tea. I remember that grandpa seemed to have two cakes, could it be..." Dong Tianyue asked.

"Haha, I know that my teacher is good at tea. Pu'er tea from the Guangxu period was not easy to buy. I made four cakes in total, two of which are filial to him. I still have half of the cake left. If my junior brother likes it, I will take it back and drink it." Mr. Gao smiled.

"No need, senior brother, please keep it for yourself. I can't drink Kung Fu tea, afraid of trouble. By the way, senior brother, let's talk about my work." Dong Tianyue said.
Chapter completed!
