Chapter 19

Yang Bo was eager to return and naturally did not easily agree, still declining, "Young Master Luo, I have many things to do, and it will take a lot of time to handle them."

Luo Shao and Feng Ye exchanged glances and smiled, "You mean you want to sell this jade dancer, right? Coincidentally, I am also very interested in the fine-line engraving. Why don't I take it over!"

Noticing Yang Bo's hesitation, Luo Shao felt frustrated. He understood that this was due to his domineering behavior at the auction, which made the other party hesitant. However, he could not explain that it was just a strategy. He could only say, "For the Han Dynasty fine-line engraved jade dancer, I will offer 250,000. Brother Yang, please let it go!"

This time, Yang Bo did not think for long. He was directly swayed by the money. 250,000 was indeed above market price, and it was just an appraisal event, so there shouldn't be any problems. Besides, he would have to go to the hospital tomorrow anyway, "Alright, thank you, Young Master Luo. Also, I need to mention one thing: I don't have much expertise in contemporary calligraphy and paintings."

"No problem," Luo Shao smiled.

The two went to the bank to transfer the money, signed a simple agreement, and then saw Feng Ye off.

After staying up all night, Luo Shao was also exhausted. Since Yang Bo didn't know how to drive, he had to call a driver, who arrived quickly.

Yang Bo sat in the passenger seat and turned to Luo Shao, "Young Master Luo, can you give me an introduction?"

Luo Shao seemed a bit impatient, lying down in the back, unable to sleep. Hearing Yang Bo's question, he shook his head, "I'm not very clear either. We'll talk about it when we get there!"

Yang Bo didn't ask any more questions and closed his eyes to rest, but he was curious about Luo Shao's identity.

By the time they arrived in Lishui County, it was already around 9:30 AM. They got out of the car, had a simple breakfast, and then drove into a hotel.

Luo Shao got out of the car, straightened his clothes, and then instructed Yang Bo, "Be careful with what you say later!"

When speaking, Luo Shao no longer maintained his previous courteous demeanor, making his instructions sound like an order!

Luo Shao took out his phone, swiped a few times, found the number, and hesitated for a while before finally making the call!

"Hey, Brother Ye, are you up?"

"Oh, having breakfast! Brother Ye, didn't you ask me to bring someone to appraise things?"

"Yes, I've brought him. He's here with me now. I'm taking him to..."

Yang Bo's face was expressionless, but he inwardly sneered. Luo Shao's respectful attitude was truly intriguing!

"Come, follow me now!"

After hanging up, Luo Shao walked ahead, and the driver he had called followed behind Yang Bo, giving the impression of monitoring him. Yang Bo remained calm but decided that he would leave as soon as the appraisal was done!

The hotel was lavishly decorated, gilded and splendid. It was the first time Yang Bo had been to such a high-end hotel, but he had no interest in admiring it. He followed and entered a room on the 18th floor.

Upon entering, they saw a man in his forties sitting casually in a chair. Luo Shao hurriedly approached and smiled warmly, "Brother Ye, you came to Jinling. You should have given me a call. I can't promise much, but I can be a free tour guide!"

Brother Ye smiled, "Yao Hua, I'm really sorry for calling you so late. I came to Jinling for a vacation, but I didn't expect to find something good. After buying it, I always felt uneasy, so I called you!"

Brother Ye spoke very politely, but when Yang Bo and the others arrived, he did not get up to greet them, and even Luo Shao did not sit down. This showed that the other party was of extremely high status and very proud.

Luo Yao Hua hurriedly smiled, "Brother Ye, you're too formal. It's an honor for me to receive your call!"

Ye Wei Lin did not stand on ceremony, glancing at Luo Yao Hua's back with some doubt, "Little Luo, the appraiser you found didn't come?"

Luo Yao Hua's body trembled, sensing the other party's displeasure. He could only point to Yang Bo, "Brother Ye, the appraiser I invited is here, it's him!"

Ye Wei Lin's face turned serious, his tone icy, "Little Luo, you found me such a young guy?"

Luo Yao Hua quickly explained, "Brother Ye, that's not what I meant."

"Not? Is this not an appraiser?" Ye Wei Lin's face was unfriendly.

Luo Yao Hua became anxious, sweating, "Brother Ye, that's not what I meant. I mean, Yang Bo is skilled in appraisal, and he was recommended by an expert!"

"Skilled in appraisal?" Ye Wei Lin looked at Yang Bo, full of distrust, "So young, that doesn't fit the objective rules of this profession! Isn't it only when one is older that they gain enough experience?"

Luo Yao Hua wiped his sweat, "Brother Ye, that's not necessarily true. Why don't you let him take a look first?"

Ye Wei Lin raised his hand, closed his eyes, and did not speak.

The room fell silent for a moment. Luo Yao Hua's forehead was sweating, unsure of what to do.

Yang Bo, however, remained calm, not saying a word.

A moment later, there was a knock on the door. Luo Yao Hua hurriedly ran to open it.

"I'm looking for Ye Wei Lin," the person said before entering. Yang Bo recognized the voice and couldn't help but look over.

"Please come in, Mr. Cao!" Ye Wei Lin opened his eyes and actually got up to walk to the door.

A thin, gaunt figure walked in, and Ye Wei Lin grabbed his hand, smiling, "Professor Cao, I've finally waited for you."

Cao Yuande's attitude was neither humble nor arrogant, "Mr. Ye, you're too kind."

Yang Bo's eyes widened. He never expected the person to be Cao Yuande, the same Cao Yuande who had watched him sell the fish basket vase at Jiyatang and then bought the string-patterned jue from him!
