Chapter 36 Newcomers to the workplace

Cai Guosheng replied with a smile: "The golden seal that your family dug up belongs to you, Ms. Huang. The Constitution stipulates that unearthed cultural relics are classified as other resources and belong to the whole people. Therefore, legally speaking, they should be handed over to the state."

"In theory, the state will display the golden seal that Ms. Huang handed over to the state in a museum."

"Whenever you want to see this golden turtle seal, you can always go to the museum to admire it."

After hearing this, Ms. Huang was stunned and stood there at a loss as to what to do.

Lin Lang asked tentatively: "Ms. Huang, when your family was renovating the old house, in addition to digging out the golden turtle seal under the house foundation, did you unearth other objects?"

"Along with the golden tortoise seal, there was also a silk book dug out. Please have a look, expert." Ms. Huang handed the ancient silk book to Lin Lang.

Lin Lang unfolded the silk book and after reading it, a barely noticeable smirk spread across his face.

The content recorded in the silk book is the message of the ancient owner of the golden tortoise seal. The content is roughly that his family has been officials for generations, but they encountered war and had to bury the golden tortoise seal here. If it is obtained by people in later generations, it means that we are destined to be together. So he gave this golden tortoise seal to the person who is destined to be with me. The date is the Qing Dynasty, and the signature of the original owner is also at the end.

That’s right, Lin Lang’s chance to slap the two old guys in the face has come.

So, Lin Lang said with a smile: "Ms. Huang, don't be nervous. According to the silk book, this unearthed golden tortoise seal is a gift. The ownership of the golden tortoise seal belongs to you and does not need to be handed over to the country."

After hearing this, Ms. Huang, the owner of the treasure, smiled with joy again and her anxious heart finally relaxed.

After reading the ancient silk book, Cai Guosheng and Gong Jiarui looked at each other in silence, feeling somewhat humiliated because they had been slapped in the face.

Gong Jiarui suddenly changed the subject, smiling like an old fox, and forcibly defended himself, "Ms. Huang, I did not ask you to hand over the golden seal to the country. If you are unwilling to hand it over, the program team will not force you."

Ms. Huang calmed down after hearing this and asked with a smile: "Excuse me, what is the current market price of this Eastern Han Dynasty Guangling King Seal?"

Gong Jiarui deliberately replied in a derogatory tone: "Although this golden tortoise seal is relatively precious, due to its cultural value, the gold content is not high, and the tortoise shell also has a lot of wear and tear. As a collection, its value is not very high."

"The estimated price I gave is 780 million Chinese Yuan. If you are willing to include the silk book, it can be sold for 860 million Chinese Yuan."

Ms. Huang was very happy after hearing this. At the turn of the millennium, 860 million Chinese yuan was already a huge sum of money for ordinary people.

Gong Jiarui had evil thoughts and continued, "In order to prevent the Golden Turtle Seal from being lost abroad, if Ms. Huang is willing to give the Golden Turtle Seal and the silk book to Gong for collection and research, I am willing to offer 1050 million Chinese Yuan."

Ms. Huang was just an ordinary peasant woman. She had never seen so much money before. After hearing this, she couldn't stop laughing.

Lin Lang was good at observing people's expressions and was surprised to see that Ms. Huang was about to express her willingness to sell the priceless golden turtle seal to the deliberately trapping treasure appraisal expert Gong Jiarui at the low price of 1050 million Chinese yuan.

So, Lin Lang said: "Ms. Huang, this priceless golden seal of the King of Guangling of the Eastern Han Dynasty is a very precious national treasure. The current market value is over 100 million!"

"If it is sold through a Hong Kong auction house, it can easily fetch a whopping price of 2 to 3 million!"

"Oh..."

Ms. Huang was stunned by the shock.

After a brief hesitation, Ms. Huang jumped up and down with joy, unable to contain herself.

If it weren't for Lin Lang's kind reminder, the owner of the treasure, Ms. Huang, would have already been cheated by the treasure appraisal expert Gong Jiarui. Similar things are very common in the treasure appraisal circle.

The audience in the studio applauded enthusiastically after hearing the news and felt happy for the treasure holder, Ms. Huang.

"Uh……"

Gong Jiarui, who was tragically exposed and slapped in the face, was so embarrassed in front of the audience and the camera that he could have carved out a two-bedroom apartment.

"Uh……"

Cai Guosheng was stunned and shocked by Lin Lang's righteous words. He felt ashamed and embarrassed because he had acquiesced with his old friend Gong Jiarui in setting a trap for Ms. Huang, the owner of the treasure.

Marry Yang, a beautiful mixed-race director, was sitting behind the camera monitor. She couldn't help but feel secretly happy when she saw Lin Lang slap the evil-minded treasure appraiser Gong Jiarui in the face in public during the recording of the treasure appraisal program.

"Cow!"

"I didn't expect that the pretty boy treasure appraiser Lin Lang is actually such a cool and ruthless character. In his first episode on the show, he slapped the senior treasure appraiser in the face in public. He is really a young and inexperienced person who is not afraid of tigers. He is very brave and skilled!"

"Lin Lang dared to step on his senior Gong Jiarui to get to the top of the TV treasure appraisal program. He is definitely not an ordinary person."

"After this episode is aired, it will definitely be very entertaining and a hot topic. It looks like the ratings are going to be a sure thing!"

at the same time.

The two hosts, a man and a woman, hurriedly said a lot of bland remarks to ease the awkwardness of the scene and to help the treasure appraiser Gong Jiarui save face.

"Uh……"

Gong Jiarui was slapped in the face. He was furious because Lin Lang ruined his good deeds, but he had no way to deal with Lin Lang.

Helplessly, Gong Jiarui could only watch as the holder of the treasure, Ms. Huang, took the priceless golden turtle seal and walked off the stage amid the audience's applause, leaving the program recording site with a smile on her face.

Lin Lang secretly felt proud.

"Hum..."

"After the broadcast of this episode of 'Appraising Heirlooms', any audience member who is not stupid can see that treasure appraiser Gong Jiarui wanted to cheat the treasure holder of the golden turtle seal, so his reputation was damaged and his integrity was ruined."
