Zheng He and Jiang Lai walked briskly onto the stage, while Miao Ling was pushed onto the stage by a staff member. They were looking at the “Court Lady Picture” up close.
“If the guests are also interested, you can come up to the stage and take a look,” the host said with a smile.
Qin Yuan had long lost control of her curiosity. Hearing the host’s words, she immediately went up to the stage and looked at the “Court Lady Picture” attentively.
“It’s really beautiful.” Qin Yuan really wanted to touch it when she saw it.
However, she stopped her thoughts and quietly listened to the comments of the experts on the painting.
Jiang Yu also stood behind the experts and carefully observed the painting.
The characters on the painting were indeed lifelike, and the posture of the woman was vividly depicted.
However, the traces of the painting were too new, and the degree of preservation was too perfect, so it looked like a fake.
Fifteen minutes later, the experts returned to their seats, and Qin Yuan also reluctantly returned to her seat.
“Okay, after these fifteen minutes, what are the experts’ opinions?”
Zheng He was the first to speak, “I personally think that this painting is a fake. First of all, the traces of this painting are too new, and the degree of preservation is also very good. Therefore, it’s likely to be a fake.”
“Okay.” The host nodded and said, “Then what do Professor Jiang and Professor Miao think?”
Jiang Lai and Miao Ling’s opinions were the same as Zheng He’s. “I also think this is a fake. First of all, this is a painting drawn with paper. No matter how well preserved it is, it can’t be like this. It looks like it was just buried in the ground for a period of time. It looks new after being taken out from the ground.”
Mr. Zhang, who was below the stage, felt his heart turn cold when he heard this. He thought to himself that the thing he had spent a lot of money to buy was actually a fake.
After listening to the opinions of the three experts, the host raised his head to look at the other three guests and said, “I wonder what the other three guests think?”
“I think what the three experts said makes sense.” Qin Yuan took the initiative to strike first. “It does look too new and doesn’t have the smell of an antique.”
She was copying the words of the three experts.
Even though she didn’t know much about this area, with the three experts in the antique field paving the way, wouldn’t she be able to come up with these opinions and ideas easily?
Li Yue was silent for a long time before she said, “I don’t have much knowledge on these antiques and artifacts, nor have I dabbled in this field so it’s hard for me to give a judgment on this matter.”
When she said this, the audience nodded in agreement.
Li Yue was indeed not a researcher in this field, so it was not a big deal even if she really could not tell if the antiques were real or fake.
In comparison, Qin Yuan was a little clumsy and was anxious to act out on the stage.
Jiang Yu also said, “I have the same opinion as Senior Li Yue.”
By adding the word “Senior” to Li Yue’s name, it made Jiang Yu seem even more polite.
Moreover, she thought the same as Li Yue. She would not use other people’s words to show her ignorance in areas that she had no expertise.
Due to this, it was even more obvious that Qin Yuan was copying what the experts were saying.
Come on, were these two targeting her? Qin Yuan thought angrily, how did Jiang Yu and Li Yue look like rivals?
They clearly seemed like that they were setting her up!
