Signing In For Eight Years, I Was Exposed As A Zillionaire! - Chapter 114

114 Sign-In Again! (4)

“Fragrant rosewood is already relatively oily. If you apply walnut oil to the surface, it will affect the oil production of the wood and its patina. It’s not worth it! Most importantly, the patina formed from the oil produced by the wood is different from the patina formed by applying walnut oil. Anyone with a discerning eye can tell at a glance.”

After saying that, Liu Haikang suddenly slapped his head and said with a vexed expression, “Look at my memory. I actually ignored the esteemed guest sitting at the side. I really deserve to be punished!”

Ye Xuan didn’t mind. He just smiled faintly and said, “Chairman Liu, you don’t have to be so polite. You’re the host. The guest can just follow the host.”

Liu Haikang was in a good mood after hearing Ye Xuan’s words. He stood up and said to Ye Xuan, “I don’t have anything to entertain Chairman Ye. I wonder if Chairman Ye likes tea? I have some pretty good tea leaves here. Why don’t we try them together?”

!!
Liu Haikang was also a little uncertain. After all, Ye Xuan looked like he was only eight or nine years old, but his status was so much higher than his.

He couldn’t just wait anxiously for him to come and ask him if he wanted fruit juice, right?

Ye Xuan nodded and revealed a very bright smile. “Sure, then I’ll let Chairman Liu take out his treasure.”

“Look at what you’re saying. Chairman Ye is too polite,” said Liu Haikang as he brought over the good tea that he had kept for a long time.

There were all kinds of tea sets on the coffee table. It could be seen that Liu Haikang was a tea lover.

Liu Haikang washed the tea leaves with hot water and poured the tea on the tea pet.

After the originally gray and bare item was doused in hot water, it instantly revealed its red and tender flesh. It was actually a very cute lychee.

Ye Xuan smelled the fragrance of the tea and sniffed it twice before saying, “The top-grade Lion Peak Dragon Well tea is indeed good tea!”

The Lion Peak Dragon Well belonged to the category of green tea. When drinking green tea, one had to pay particular attention to its freshness.

Ye Xuan picked up the teacup and took a sip. He could tell that Liu Haikang’s Lion Peak Dragon Well tea had not been stored for long. It was definitely considered a new tea that had been bought in the past year.

The four of them sat in the antique villa and tasted the top-grade green tea while chatting. It was a very elegant thing.

As Ye Xuan drank his tea, he casually observed the decorations in the villa. His gaze wandered back and forth among the calligraphy paintings hanging on the wall. Suddenly, he stared at one of them for a long time.

“Is this actually Deng Shiru’s1 calligraphy?” Ye Xuan exclaimed. He quickly stood up and went to the front of the calligraphy painting to observe it carefully.

When Liu Haikang heard Ye Xuan’s words, he actually looked at him in a daze as if he had lost his soul.

When Liu Yun, who was sitting at the side, saw his father’s dejected appearance, he hurriedly reached out and gently poked Liu Haikang, waking him up as if he had woken up from a dream.

“Chairman Ye, do you actually know about Deng Shiru?” Liu Haikang’s expression was a little complicated. He looked incredulous yet excited.

Ye Xuan didn’t even turn his head, but his voice echoed in the hall. “Deng Shiru is a famous folk wonder. He’s a pioneer in tablet studies and a leader in seal-carving. However, very few of his calligraphy works are left, and they’re even rarer on the market.”

Actually, Deng Shiru had many calligraphy works, but most of them were copied versions of the tablet inscriptions he had carved.

It was also because of this that many people ignored Deng Shiru’s true calligraphy skills.

“People say that people are like their calligraphy, and their calligraphy is like them. Deng Shiru wrote, ‘It is rare to be as pure as snow and also know that wealth is fleeting.’ If you observe such humble words a few times a day, your understanding of your temperament and life must be extremely good.” The more Ye Xuan looked at the calligraphy piece, the more he felt that it was a classic.

Liu Haikang looked like he had seen his confidant. He said with emotion, “My friends who know about calligraphy can’t even say that. They don’t even look at the calligraphy. Instead, they look at the words here. Little do they know that the most valuable one here is the one you mentioned, Chairman Ye.”

Only those who truly understood Deng Shiru’s character would collect his calligraphy. It was precisely because of this understanding that the price of his calligraphy and painting soared.

Ye Xuan smiled calmly and said, “Collections like calligraphy and paintings emphasize understanding.”
