Chapter 339 - 339 Old Chen
339 Old Chen
Hearing that Gu Man was still studying, Elder Chen was even more surprised. Looking at her young age, he could not help but ask, “Are you in university? Which university?”
“I’m still in my third year of high school, Han City First High School.”
Perhaps it was because of the friendly aura emitted by the old man, Gu Man answered his question honestly.
Unexpectedly, after saying that, Elder Chen was dumbfounded, as if he could not believe what he had heard. “You’re actually just a high school student?”
Gu Man did not know her identity as a high school student, so how could she surprise Elder Chen so much? However, she still nodded slightly.
Elder Chen suddenly slapped his palm and his face was instantly filled with smiles. “Alright, that’s great. The younger generation will surpass us! Which university do you plan to enter in the future? Do you have any plans to come to Zhong Chu University?”
As Elder Chen spoke, the others were even more surprised. This was because Elder Chen had a respected status and he paid special attention to his mantle. He had established his own archeology department at Zhong Chu University in order to find someone who could inherit his mantle.
Hearing Elder Chen’s words, it seemed like he wanted to take Gu Man in as his disciple.
Not only was Elder Chen famous among them, but he was also a famous archaeologist internationally. He had contributed countless times to the country in his life.
If she could become his disciple, the benefits she could obtain were even more unimaginable.
“I do have that intention, but my goal is the Physics Department.”
Hearing this, Elder Chen thought of something and suddenly turned to look at Xiang Yin, his eyes filled with disbelief.
Gu Man looked at the exchange of glances between the two of them and seemed to realize something. Could it be that Xiang Yin looked for Elder Chen? It had been hard on him to put in so much effort.
However, Gu Man had other things to do. She held the painting and looked at Elder Zhou. “This painting is fake. Do you still want it?”
Although the painting was exquisite, there was no lack of such people in this world. Elder Zhou was instantly disinterested in it and waved his hand.
Seeing that the matter was gradually getting out of control, the Manager hurriedly said, “Since Elder Zhou’s painting is fake, the previous auction still doesn’t count.”
These words sounded especially familiar, but now, the Manager could only brace himself and speak.
Elder Zhou was not as excited as before. It was unknown if it was because he had encountered too many things, but he was starting to become immune.
Facing the Manager’s suggestion, he only nodded slightly in agreement.
However, there were repeated mistakes in the auction. Elder Zhou was too ashamed to continue staying here. He casually found an excuse and left.
He could already imagine what others would say about the Zhou Family.
With Elder Zhou’s departure, this drama came to an end.
Seeing that there was nothing else to watch, the others left one after another. However, they were still discussing this matter on the way.
For a moment, only the two old men, Xiang Yin, Gu Man, and the Manager were left in the room.
Gu Man did not forget her goal. She looked at the Manager with the painting in her hand. “Since no one wants this painting, can you sell it to me?”
The Manager was worried about how to deal with this hot potato. When he heard this, he quickly nodded and agreed, selling it to Gu Man at an extremely low price.
Gu Man looked at the painting in her hand and finally smiled. Elder Chen was a little puzzled.
Before he came, he had also learned what had happened from Xiang Yin. Paintings were naturally good, but without Wang Zhi’s title, they did not look like much.
“Why do you want to buy this painting?”
“Elder Chen, don’t you think this painting is very good? It’s very pleasing to the eye to hang at home.” Gu Man boasted without blushing at all.
Elder Chen nodded in agreement. Although this painting was not Wang Zhi’s, the original artist’s painting skills were indeed exquisite. There were very few people who could imitate Wang Zhi’s painting. It could only be said that the Manager did not know his stuff and sold it at such a low price.
“This painting is indeed not bad, and it looks a little old.”
Gu Man nodded slightly. Since the matter had been resolved and she had obtained the painting she wanted, there was no point in staying any longer. Gu Man came to Old Master Cui and said goodbye.
“Remember to come to the Cui family more often. Don’t forget this old man.”
