A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage) novel Chapter 205

Yang He's face turned pale immediately.

Han Shao-Jie was gloating gleefully earlier but now the smile on his face instantly froze. As he stood dumbstruck from the shock, his eyes were filled with disbelief.

"That's impossible! President Gu, how can this be? I carefully studied this blue and white porcelain and knew it couldn't be a fake,” said Han Shao-Jie angrily.

He was the one who recommended Shen Fei to buy the blue and white porcelain piece after all. If it turned out to be a counterfeit, wasn't it as good as a slap on his face?

Also, Shen Fei would probably suspect he was colluding with the shop owner to defraud him.

It not only proved his incompetence but also made him look like a betrayer!

So Han Shao-Jie couldn't agree with Gu Long-En's explanation and did his utmost to prove the authenticity of the blue and white porcelain.

"Old Master Gu, didn't you say that the blue and white porcelain body is thick, large, and strong? It has good proportions and is full of energy. This kind of high-quality product is definitely a treasure and intended for use by royalty, even in the Yuan Dynasty. And look at how powerful and lively this dragon pattern is. The dragon's claws look ferocious while it looks down on everything. How can a dragon as vivid as this be a fake? President Gu, don't listen to his nonsense. He knows nothing about appraising antiques. It's probably his first time getting involved with antiques and he's just saying all that nonsense as a ploy to confuse us all," he went on and on in a deep tone. His voice was filled with contempt and despise for Ye Fan.

There was no way he could believe that his skills were incapable of surpassing even a clueless rookie appraiser.

Yang He stood by the side and chimed in as well, "Exactly, Master Gu. This brat is here to make trouble. How can you get confused by him? I'm going to get someone to chase him out now!"

Yang He and Han Shao-Jie kept commenting one after another, but Gu Long-En shook his head instead.

"I didn't get confused by him. This blue and white porcelain is really a fake."

What?

Han Shao-Jie shuddered as his heart turned even colder. But he continued to insist, "That's impossible. I carefully appraised it according to the appraisal books I studied.

"President Gu, if you didn't get deceived by him, then you must be mistaken somewhere!"

Gu Long-En looked at Han Shao-Jie and laughed gently instead, "I was mistaken somewhere?"

"You're young and lacking in ability, but you're really confident of yourself. Okay, in that case, I'll shed some light on what's going on.'" "The evidence you raised were valid. But your biggest mistake was that you only looked at it partially without considering it as a whole! You merely scraped its surface without thinking more deeply!"

"You only saw that it has vivid and lively patterns. But did you see the irregularity in its pattern where its body converged at its base? You merely considered whether the porcelain had good proportions. But did you notice how the vase was not aesthetically pleasing as a whole? And how it completely lacked smoothness and roundness?"

"You only applied the knowledge you learned from books but failed to use them flexibly. Despite the shortcomings in your abilities, you were arrogant, disrespectful to elders, and stubborn. You were unknowledgeable, overbold, and incompetent! And nothing but an ignorant man.”

After being doubted by a younger man like that, it was little wonder that Gu Long-En was annoyed.

He ended up shouting with a stern look on his face.

The waves of angry shouts came like a shocking thunderclap that exploded repeatedly.

His continuous berating made Han Shao-Jie's face flush crimson in shame. He was almost too ashamed to show his face.

Old Master Gu's final shout was practically earth-shattering and Han Shao-Jie couldn't even stand up straight out of terror. In the end, he staggered, retreated a few steps, and almost fell onto the floor.
