352 An Unreliable New Boss
[Congratulations to the host for completing this treasure hunt navigation. The reward is Wangjiang Pavilion Restaurant, with a total market value of 2 billion…]
When Ye Feng received the system notification, he was on the way to Maple Leaf Pavilion.
He had naturally heard of the great name of the Wangjiang Pavilion.
It was said that this restaurant had a very high threshold and was only open to invited customers.
The entry threshold for invited customers was at least 5 million yuan.
Even so, the shop was still bustling with customers every day. It had even become a symbol of the status of the rich in Zhonghai.
Today, in Zhonghai, if one had not eaten at the Wangjiang Pavilion, one would be embarrassed to call themselves rich.
At this moment, when he heard these notifications, Ye Feng could not help but smile.
He did not expect that the holy land of the rich in Zhonghai would become his own property.
..
After laughing, he immediately looked at Chen Qiushan, who was sitting in the passenger seat.
“Brother Chen, are you taking in disciples?”
Chen Qiushan was stunned and immediately turned around. “I never take in disciples. Why do you suddenly want to ask this?”
Ye Feng pointed at Lin Qianqian beside him. “My friend wants to learn antiques recently.”
Lin Qianqian looked at Chen Qiushan nervously.
According to Sun Ke, Mr. Chen’s status in the antique world was far higher than Master Kong’s. He was even higher than Master Kong’s master, Mei Donghai.
Of course, she was more than happy to be able to acknowledge him as her master.
Chen Qiushan pondered for a moment. “If it was someone else who brought this up, I would never agree. But since Brother Ye has spoken, I can consider it.”
Lin Qianqian was overjoyed and wanted to thank him immediately.
Chen Qiushan suddenly stopped her. “Don’t be too happy yet. I hope that you won’t study antiques on a whim.”
Lin Qianqian hurriedly nodded. “Don’t worry, Mr. Chen. I will learn with an open mind. I won’t give up easily.”
Chen Qiushan had a cautious expression on his face. “After all, this is my first time taking in a disciple, so I have to be very careful. How about this? I’ll recommend a few books to you. You can go back and self-study for a month first…”
Lin Qianqian quickly took out a pen and paper from her bag and wrote down the books he recommended.
Chen Qiushan was very satisfied with her attitude. “In a month, I’ll see the results of your self-study. If your talent is good enough and you’re hardworking enough, I’ll take you in.”
“Don’t worry, Mr. Chen. I’ll make sure you’re satisfied,” Lin Qianqian said confidently.
Saying so, she looked at Ye Feng gratefully.
If it weren’t for him, how could Chen Qiushan give her this chance?
Of course, the opportunity had already been given to her.
Whether she could grasp it or not still depended on her own efforts.
..
Maple Leaf Pavilion’s main store was located in the busiest part of Zhonghai City’s Antique Street.
The staff in the shop had already received Hu Dong’s instructions.
Before Ye Feng and the rest arrived, they were already waiting at the entrance under the lead of the old store manager.
Ye Feng pushed open the door and got out of the car. He looked up at this shop.
The shop was exquisitely decorated, classical yet modern.
It gave off an ancient and majestic aura.
His first impression was very satisfying.
Hu Dong immediately walked forward and asked the old store manager, “Old Sun, are the materials ready?”
“Everything is ready.”
The old store manager answered while looking at Ye Feng and the rest: “Who is the new boss?”
Hu Dong immediately pointed at Ye Feng: “This is Mr. Ye Feng, the new owner of Maple Leaf Pavilion.”
When the old store manager heard this, he was instantly dumbfounded.
He had thought that this young man was Chen Qiushan’s driver.
He didn’t expect that it was their new boss.
Was there a mistake?
A little kid who was still wet behind the ears?
Was it their new boss?
Hu Dong awkwardly introduced them to Ye Feng, “This is the manager of Maple Leaf Pavilion, Sun Shouyi.”
Ye Feng immediately extended his hand warmly, “Hello Manager Sun, you can call me Xiao Ye.”
Manager Sun didn’t reach out his hand.
His old face fell and he looked at Hu Dong with dissatisfaction.
“Boss Hu, this shop is yours. You have the right to sell it to whoever you want. But can you find a reliable buyer?”
“If we hand it over to unreliable people, won’t this shop close down in a few days?”
Hu Dong hurriedly coughed dryly. “Old Sun, you can’t judge a book by its cover. Mr. Ye is very knowledgeable in antiques. He will definitely be able to run Maple Leaf Pavilion well.”
Sun Shouyi glanced at Ye Feng in disdain. “I hope so.”
With that, he turned around and entered the shop.
Hu Dong looked at Ye Feng awkwardly. “Old Sun is a little stubborn, but he is not a bad person, please don’t be angry.”
Ye Feng smiled. “I have some tolerance.”
The few of them immediately followed him into the shop.
The handover process went smoothly.
Both parties signed the contract.
Maple Leaf Pavilion would belong to Ye Feng.
Ye Feng also handed the stamp to Hu Dong.
After Hu Dong received the stamp, he felt as if he had obtained a treasure.
“Mr. Ye, I’ll be leaving first. In the future, if you need my help, feel free to ask.”
After saying that, he impatiently took the stamp and left.
Chen Qiushan shook his head with a bitter smile. “Brother Ye, I have something to do here, so I’ll take my leave first. I’ll treat you to a drink when I’m free.”
Then, they left together.
Ye Feng sent the two of them out before returning.
Since he had nothing to do, he started to stroll around the shop.
Old Man Sun followed beside him and asked in a bad mood, “Do you understand?”
Ye Feng could tell that if he did not completely suppress this old man today…
He still wanted to take advantage of him.
He immediately activated the system’s in-depth scanning function and scanned the shelves.
“This blue and white flower pot should be an imitation of the Republic of China. The price is between 40,000 to 50,000 yuan.”
“This pair of yellow jade animal-faced living ring flower gu should be authentic from the middle of the Qing Dynasty. The price is between 1 million to 1.2 million.”
“White jade hornless dragon flower wash. It should be a work from the late Qing Dynasty. The price is between 600,000 to 800,000.”
“…”
Ye Feng listed the prices of the antiques on the shelves as if he knew them all.
The more Sun Shouyi heard, the more shocked he became.
The price that Ye Feng quoted was almost the same as the price he had determined.
However, he had repeatedly confirmed the price before he gave the final price.
But Ye Feng could easily determine the generation of these antiques and give them a price range with just a casual glance.
This… Wasn’t this a little too exaggerated?
