Chapter 263 Tang Jian
But the scene was still a bit weird. Du Ruo was wearing a hat, Xiang Yuanyuan was wearing a mask, and Brother Quan was even more exaggerated, wearing both a hat and a mask.
"You're such a big internet celebrity, and you're telling us this? Let's go in first. You have fans everywhere now. If someone recognizes us, we won't say we know you."
Du Ruo was the kind of person who would respond to soft words but not to hard ones. Brother Quan was so polite and humble, so he had no reason to be polite, so he also joked.
"Deal with it, let's go in and talk about it."
When Brother Quan heard this, he subconsciously lowered his hat and led the three of them into the house.
When we arrived at the private room, the dishes had already been placed on the table, and my cousin was already serving himself a glass of wine.
"Please take a seat. I came here in a hurry and didn't prepare any good wine. I hope you don't mind, Boss Du. By the way, this is my cousin. I brought him out to see the world this time. This is Sisi, the beautiful appraiser of our company."
As soon as they entered the private room, Brother Quan invited Du Ruo to sit at the seat of honor and introduced the people in the room.
Du Ruo was not polite. Since the other party asked him to sit in the seat of honor, it was obvious that he wanted a favor. He was also quite curious about the other party's purpose.
As soon as he came in, needless to say, Brother Quan was very tactful and started to treat the three people to food and drinks.
Du Ruo also asked more questions, picked up the dishes and ate, poured the wine and drank, and then chatted with Brother Quan, not in a hurry at all.
Brother Quan was very happy at first. After all, Du Ruo did not show any rejection or resistance. According to his idea, he would drink the wine first and wait until Du Ruo got a little tipsy and was happy to talk. Then they could talk about it and things would be settled smoothly.
As a result, Du Ruo drank a bottle of high-quality liquor without changing his expression. Not only Du Ruo, but even Xiang Yuanyuan next to him was coaxed by his Northeastern drinking culture into drinking a bottle of liquor. However, Xiang Yuanyuan looked normal, only his face was slightly flushed, but he still spoke fluently.
Looking at his cousin again, he was already holding the table leg and muttering to himself under the table, while he himself was already feeling a little numb on his face, and he knew that this was a sign of being drunk.
"Wow~ Everyone says that Boss Du likes to drink. I thought that with my Shandong-born tolerance, I could keep company with people. But no one told me that Boss Du can drink so much. Even the boss's wife can drink so much. If I had known what kind of wine to drink earlier, I would have liked to drink tea!!!"
At this moment, not only was Brother Quan's heart churning, but his stomach was also churning. He had just drunk too fast in order to persuade others to drink, and he could not hold on any longer.
"Sisi, pour some wine for the guests. Boss Du, drink first. I'll go get some more food."
Brother Quan said something to Sisi who didn't drink, then apologized to Du Ruo and walked out.
"Boss Du, I'm toasting you with tea instead of wine. I've watched your video many times, especially the scene where you used two fingers to push the Miao Dao out. I even filmed a video imitating you. I'm your little fangirl."
When Sisi saw Brother Quan go out, she immediately poured wine for Du Ruo and spoke nice words to him as if they were free.
"And Madam Boss, how do you maintain such a good figure? Please teach me. My figure is far inferior to yours.
And you and Boss Du are truly a perfect couple, really enviable."
Although Sisi has always been drinking tea instead of wine, it is really hard to hate her when she is said in such a nice way.
Anyway, the atmosphere didn't get colder when Brother Quan was out. Instead, it made Xiang Yuanyuan laugh so hard that she couldn't stop.
Even Li Qiyao Sisi, who was drinking tea beside her, was not spared. Although people knew that she was just complimenting them, it was impossible to be disgusted by her.
"Boss Du, I just ordered a few more dishes. Let's continue drinking. We must drink happily today. I'll toast to Boss Du again."
After a while, Brother Quan brought a few waiters to serve the dishes. Brother Quan looked much better and more energetic. After sitting down, he raised his glass to toast Du Ruo.
Du Ruo took a look and realized that the added dishes were the ones that Xiang Yuanyuan had given her the most.
"Haha, Brother Quan is thoughtful, but let's not drink this wine."
Du Ruo looked at Brother Quan and smiled, but did not respond to his toast. Instead, he pressed down Brother Quan's hand that was holding the glass.
"Boss Du, this... is there anything I did wrong?"
When Brother Quan heard what Du Ruo said, his face panicked and he subconsciously looked at his cousin next to him. He found that his cousin was already lying on the ground. Then he looked at Sisi, thinking that something had made Du Ruo unhappy after he left.
"Drinking is all about having fun. We had a great time today. If you have anything to say, just tell us now. After you've finished, if you can still drink, we can have another drink."
Du Ruo smiled and saw that Brother Quan looked a little panicked. After thinking for a while, Du Ruo pointed to his ears and explained briefly:
"My ears are extremely sensitive. Within a radius of several hundred meters, I can hear even a rat crawling by as long as I really want to."
"Forehead."
When Brother Quan heard what Du Ruo said, he was stunned at first, then he smiled bitterly.
"I have always believed that Boss Du is a remarkable person and have never doubted his status as a master, but I never thought that Boss Du could achieve such a level. I am sorry for what I have done."
As Brother Quan spoke, he did not forget to bow to Du Ruo, with a look of admiration written all over his face.
At the same time, he secretly felt lucky that he didn't have the habit of bad-mouthing people behind their backs, otherwise today's incident would not only fail to please Du Ruo, but also offend others. He went out to get more food just now, which was just an excuse. In fact, he went to induce vomiting, and he forced himself to take out the wine just to accompany the wine.
For fear of being discovered by Du Ruo, he did not go into the bathroom in the private room, but walked a long distance away. He really did not expect that Du Ruo was such a pervert.
Of course, this further deepened his thoughts. If he could get in touch with Du Ruo, even if he couldn't rise to the top, at least he wouldn't be bothered by other villains.
"Okay, Boss Du, let's chat while we're at it~"
Brother Quan simply stopped thinking about accompanying Du Ruo. He had figured out that a master like Du Ruo was beyond his imagination. So he stood up and led Du Ruo to the huge coffee table next to the private room.
"I am a collector, and I brought a piece of my collection with me this time. Master Du, please help me take a look."
Brother Quan said as he took a long box that Sisi brought over, handed it to Du Ruo, opened the lid, revealing a long sword, and at the same time Brother Quan made a gesture of invitation.
"This sword is pretty good."
Du Ruo looked at the sword in the box in front of him and reached out to pick it up.
There was a leather scabbard outside the long sword. When Du Ruo held it, it felt cool and very comfortable in his hand.
"This is a scabbard made of deep-sea fish skin. It is said that a scabbard made of deep-sea fish skin can hide the edge of the sword, allowing the sword to better maintain its edge. I don't know if it works, but this sword is indeed well preserved."
Brother Quan was introducing Du Ruo to the side. He saw the smile on Du Ruo's lips and felt relaxed. It would be best if Du Ruo liked it.
Du Ruo grasped the copper hilt with his hand, exerted a little force, and pulled out the long sword hidden in the scabbard.
"Silk~"
Because it was a leather scabbard, there was no metallic sound when the blade was pulled out, but instead a "hissing" sound. As Du Ruo pulled it out, the sword body glowed with a cold light. I don't know if it was an illusion, but looking at the sword blade, the women always felt a little cold.
"clang!!!"
Du Ruo flicked his finger on the sword, and a crisp sound of metal collision was heard.
"What a sword!!"
Du Ruo exclaimed in admiration, which was rare. The sword was made entirely of metal. Du Ruo held the sword in one hand and felt that the weight of the sword was far beyond that of an ordinary one-handed sword, even heavier than a Han sword.
But looking at the thickness of the sword spine, it is no different from that of an ordinary long sword. It is obvious that this sword is special in its material.
"This is a Tang Dynasty sword I received. What's rare is that the scabbard and the sword are both original. Moreover, the sword is made of meteorite iron and has been preserved until now. Although there is no signature to prove that this is a sword used by a celebrity, this kind of appearance is already very rare."
When Brother Quan saw that Du Ruo liked it, he introduced her to him.
If this sword had a story to tell, the auction price would definitely not be less than one million. And if it had a story related to a celebrity, the sword might even be sold for tens of millions.
"As the saying goes, a sword is bestowed upon a hero. This sword would just gather dust if I left it here. Fortunately, Mr. Du is a contemporary master. I hope that Mr. Du will accept this sword. This will allow it to regain its former glory."
After Brother Quan finished the introduction, he struck while the iron was hot and pushed the box on the table towards Du Ruo.
"It's a bit expensive, and there's no such thing as reward without merit. Brother Quan, you might as well speak frankly. As for the sword, it's unnecessary. After practicing martial arts to my level, it doesn't make any difference whether I have a weapon or not."
Du Ruo glanced at Brother Quan, then sheathed the sword, put it in the box, and pushed it in front of Brother Quan again.
The other party didn't say anything. If he took the sword now, how could he refuse when the other party asked for something later? As the saying goes, the more the other party gives, the more they will ask for. They are not children anymore, so there is no such thing as pie falling from the sky.
"Okay, if that's the case, then I'll say it clearly."
Brother Quan did not look at the box on the table, but sat down and started making tea, while also telling Du Ruo the purpose of this trip.
"To be honest, I rose too fast, blocking the financial path of many old guys. In addition, there is only one platform, and if I eat too much, others will inevitably have to eat less. So recently, many people have been eyeing me covetously."
The platform cake that Brother Quan mentioned is not referring to his peers, but the platform. For those who do live streaming, the daily traffic is so huge. The platform has finally lost two top anchors, and before they can get the traffic, he has risen rapidly. It is inevitable that other anchors will be jealous, envious, or want to take advantage of the situation.
"old man?"
Xiang Yuanyuan, who was standing by, asked curiously.
She asked this on behalf of Du Ruo. They could understand a little bit about the platform, but they didn't know much about antique appraisal. Du Ruo didn't feel comfortable asking, so Xiang Yuanyuan took the initiative to ask.
