"President Gan, we meet again, hello, hello."

"Hey, Xiao Xue, come and sit on the podium."

Gan Zeping kindly took Xue Chen's arm and walked up to the rostrum together.

In the first row of seats under the stage, the donkey-faced manager Ma who just kicked Xue Chen away saw this scene, but he was stunned for a moment, and immediately looked embarrassed and embarrassed, and couldn't help coughing twice.

The people sitting in the first row were all the more important people in the Provincial Antique Collection Association. When they realized that Xue Chen was the newly appointed director of the association, they all looked weird and surprised.

"He is... a director? Did I hear correctly?"

"Oops, I remembered it. He should be the Xue Chen from Haicheng, the one who is rumored to be the king of leak pickers on the Internet!"

"Is it him? Then I know. No wonder, he is the only one who can be invited to serve as a director at such a young age."

After roughly knowing Xue Chen's identity, everyone nodded suddenly.

"Hey, Manager Ma, you didn't have a very good attitude towards our new director just now, and you even drove him away like a child.

After learning Xue Chen's identity, the people nearby turned their attention to the donkey-faced Manager Ma and started joking.

"Yeah, look, they actually stopped sitting and went directly to the podium, haha."

"You can't blame Lao Ma. It's just that the new director is too young and too deceitful. No one thought it would be him."

Manager Ma was sitting there, with an uncomfortable expression on his face. He was almost ready to cry without tears. He glanced at Xue Chen, who was already sitting on the rostrum, shook his head, and muttered: "It's not that I don't want to cry."

Do you know his identity?"

If he had known earlier that this person was the new director of the association, he would have kicked people out of their seats when he was full, and he would have just found a seat nearby.

More people couldn't help but glance at the rostrum one after another, wondering in their hearts. Is this person the famous treasure hunter in the national antique circle? They all felt incredible, at such a young age.

, I feel even more envious when I think of the Yongle blue and white hand cup.

Xue Chen was pulled to the podium by Gan Zeping and met Jiang Lifu, the official president of the association, a young and vigorous man with a strong handshake.

The other six or seven directors who arrived one after another also had a brief introduction. Many of these directors saw Xue Chen for the first time, and their eyes were naturally surprised and scrutinized.

When the time was almost up, more than 200 chairs on the rostrum and under the stage were filled, and the lobby gradually became quiet, and the symposium was about to begin.

Xue Chen was sitting at the edge of the rostrum. After all, he was just serving as a director. However, the crowd of looks from the audience made him feel a little uncomfortable. It was not that he was timid and introverted, but he was being stared at by so many unfamiliar people.

It doesn't feel very good.

Jiang Lifu, who was sitting in the middle of the podium, held the microphone with both hands and made a loud voice: "Dear members and friends of the association present, hello everyone, welcome to this year's spring symposium of our Yunzhou Antique Collection Association to discuss together

, communicate and imagine the development and promotion of antique culture in Yunzhou Province..."

"Today, our association has welcomed a new member. Everyone in the audience has heard about it. Yes, it is Mr. Xue Chen, a young talent who is one of the outstanding inheritors of antique culture in Yunzhou Province. Everyone.

Director Xue is welcome to come and say a few words and say hello to everyone."

Looking at the microphone that was handed to him, although Xue Chen was very reluctant to say something that was not nutritious, he still had to say a few words and couldn't let it go coldly.

Taking the microphone, he said in a calm tone: "First of all, I am honored and very scared to be invited by the association to serve as a director. I really think that I am not qualified. After all, there are too many people here in the audience who are better than me.

I am a senior who has entered the industry early and has a lot of experience. As for me, I have only been in the industry for a year and a half. I am just a junior. In front of many people, I am still a fledgling boy. I am a child. I still need to learn more from you, and I hope...

…”

When Xue Chen said this, the people in the front row of the audience naturally thought of what happened not long ago, and they all let out a burst of laughter. They were all treated like the children of a certain member who came to join in the fun.

Manager Ma made a fuss again with a face filled with embarrassment and embarrassment. However, he also heard that the person on the stage didn't care at all, otherwise he wouldn't have said it as a joke. He really didn't want to

There is a quarrel with the new director. From some hearings, it seems that although the new director is young, he has great abilities. Then again, if he has no abilities that ordinary people do not have, how can he be invited to serve as a director at such a young age?

.

Xue Chen took the microphone and spoke calmly and naturally for more than two minutes before handing the microphone back. At the same time, the audience also heard a round of applause.

Next is the formal procedure of the symposium. Before the midsummer comes at the beginning of the year, the main purpose of the symposium is naturally to formulate some major plans for the association in the next year. In order to expand the influence of the collection association and promote the culture of antique collection, we will make suggestions.

Jiang Lifu put forward several points, including collection exhibition promotion meetings, field inspections and exchanges, friendship salons for association members, etc.

The entire symposium lasted for almost two hours. At the end, the specific location and time of the charity auction hosted by the Collection Association was mentioned at the end, so that members who were interested in participating should not miss the time.

When Jiang Lifu announced the end of the spring symposium, people on stage and off stage applauded and stood up. Most of them walked together in twos and threes, and some even shouted to have a drink together.

As soon as Xue Chen came down from the podium, the long-faced Manager Ma who was sitting in the first row walked up to him with a somewhat embarrassed look and said: "Director Xue, look, oh, I was really embarrassed about what happened before.

, I didn’t know you were, oh, I’m really sorry for causing this."

Seeing the person who pushed him away from his seat, Xue Chen smiled and waved his hands carelessly. After all, the other person did not have any malice towards him, but just misunderstood him and thought he was just joining in the fun. He didn't want him to

Occupied the first row position.

"It's just a small matter, I don't take it to heart." Xue Chen said.

"That's good, that's good." Ma Yi nodded, and he breathed a sigh of relief. It's always not good if you have a grudge against someone because of such a trivial matter.

Especially if the other person is obviously not an ordinary person, it is even harder to offend him. Although he has a small amount of assets, tens of millions, he can be considered a successful person, but it depends on who you compare with. The other person's collection is worth hundreds of millions, how to compare

?They are not of the same grade.

"Hey, Director Xue, I think it's better to be like this. I'll be the host at noon to express my apology." Ma Yi said with a thought.

"Uh, that's not necessary. It's really nothing." Xue Chen touched his nose.

Ma Yi immediately followed: "Director Xue, even if you give me some face, you must agree. It just so happens that I have always admired you and want to learn antique appraisal from you."

Ma Yi suddenly felt that he was so smart, and they happened to get to know each other during a dinner party. Although he didn't know much about Xue Chen's details, he saw Gan Zeping's attitude and some news that went viral on the Internet.

, you know that Director Xue is not a simple person, it is always a good thing to build some friendship.

"Okay then." It was hard to refuse the warm invitation, so Xue Chen agreed.

Just when the two were about to leave, several more cheers followed. They all came over to shake hands with Xue Chen and got to know each other briefly. After learning that Ma Yi invited Xue Chen to have dinner, they all offered to go together.

There were so many people and it was a good time to get to know each other.

Most of these people are old members of the association. Even if they are not very good friends, they have all spoken to each other and they talk to each other very casually.

At first, it was just Ma Yi who invited Xue Chen to dinner. By the time he walked out of the auditorium, there were seven or eight people. Then after going downstairs, more people joined in, and finally there were fourteen or five people.

Xue Chen walked in front, somewhat dumbfounded, followed by a dozen or so people, and headed straight to a nearby high-end restaurant with a good reputation, attracting a lot of attention along the way.

When they arrived at the restaurant, a group of people walked into the lobby one after another, led by the waiter to the big bag.

Several people here had dined in this restaurant many times. The restaurant manager recognized him and came out to say hello. He thought, could this be a business meeting that just ended? Then he discovered something that surprised him. He saw

There are so many people, seemingly led by that young man...

It is not difficult for a restaurant manager to see this from the way he walks and the way he speaks.

Just as a group of more than a dozen people were walking towards the restaurant, several people who had finished their meals walked towards them.

When the two sides passed each other, Xue Chen seemed to feel something and glanced at one of the people, who was also staring at him. After thinking about it for a moment, he remembered this person, Chi Jingtian, Yang

The heir to Hualong Real Estate, a famous real estate company in Anshi.

I had some disputes with him, big and small, but those were all in the past. The two of them had no contact with each other for a long time. Just like now, the two sides just passed by and glanced at each other without saying anything.

Xue Chen and his group entered the private room, and Chi Jingtian and others also walked to the door of the restaurant.

Chi Jingtian's brows furrowed slightly. Although those grievances had been understood for a long time, he still had some resentment in his heart because he had suffered a big loss and now suddenly saw Xue Chen again.

The resentment in my heart surged again.

"Those people just now, some of them look familiar to me. That one is Ma Yi, who runs a supermarket chain, and there is another one who I think is the director of the logistics department of Yang'an Second Construction... Why are they together?"
