Qingfeng decided to get rid of this young man quickly. He needed to buy gifts for Ruyan and had no time to waste on him.
”Young man, you said the amber you bought is a fake one. Let me ask you, do you know what amber is?” Qingfeng asked with a sarcastic smile.
The young man looked startled and panic appeared in his eyes. He had received the instructions from that fat boss of another antique store, and came to buy amber to accuse Lingxiu that her amber was counterfeit. He knew nothing about any antiques, how could he know what amber was?
The young man started to worry and sweat. He found Qingfeng’s question was too cunning. Thinking this way, if he didn’t know what amber was, how could he tell that amber was fake?
The young man didn’t know what amber was and didn’t know what to say, he could only look around at the people surrounding them. The fat boss was standing right in the front of the crowd. He was the one that incited the young man to frame Lingxiu. Now when the young man came across a difficult situation, his eyes automatically fell on him.
Qingfeng had been staring at the young man and noticed right away how he looked at the fat boss. After a second thought, he understood the reason. It must be that the fat boss got jealous of Lingxiu’s good business and asked the young man to frame her.
The only thing was the young man that the fat boss found was a fool. He didn’t know anything about antiques. When Qingfeng asked him about amber, he was stumped completely.
The young man realized that the fat boss wouldn’t respond to him. He took a deep breath and asked loudly, ”Amber is just amber. How much can I know about it?”
Qingfeng gave a sneering smile and said, ”Young man, since you do not know about amber, how can you tell the fake from the real?” his words made the young man speechless.
People around were surprised to see the young man speechless. If this person claimed that amber was fake, he had to be able to explain the reason. If this young man didn’t know anything about amber, how could he identify it was fake?
At this time, the people surrounding them started to figure out that this young man probably knew nothing about antique. All he wanted to do was to frame this antique store.
”Well, I don’t know anything about amber. But do you know what amber is?”
The young man frowned and asked loudly. He knew people needed time to study and build up antique knowledge. The young man in front of him looked very young and might be his age too. He shouldn’t know a lot of antique knowledge either.
Qingfeng smiled lightly and said, ”Let me tell you, amber is formed about 45—99 million years ago. It was coniferous tree resin that dropped and was buried underground for thousands of years, and is a petrochemical formed under the action of thermal energy and pressure. It can be called 'amber' or 'resin fossil'.”
”Young man, I have explained the origins of amber to you. Do you understand now?” Qingfeng looked at the young man and asked rhetorically.
This young man was absolutely a fool, he didn’t know anything about amber and accused the one that he bought were counterfeit goods.
The people around them kept on nodding after they heard Qingfeng’s explanation. Many of them were antique amateurs; some of them had also collected ambers. So, they could figure out what Qingfeng said was quite professional and correct. Since the young man didn’t have any antique knowledge, the words he said before were not credible.
”Yeah, I can’t believe this young man doesn’t know anything about amber. What he said about the counterfeit goods he bought here must be lies.”
”I agree. This young man definitely wanted to wangle money. He is so bad.”
”Um, I have decided that I will buy a piece of amber in this store for my girlfriend.”
The surrounding people were talking to each other while looking at the young man with undisguised contempt. On the contrast, they got a good feeling towards Qingfeng and Lingxiu’s antique store.
Qingfeng didn’t do anything except explained the origins of amber to the people, but he turned over the clouds for the rain and changed the situation dramatically. Now it was the young man that was despised by everyone.
Brother Li was really formidable; he redeemed the store’s reputation so easily. Lingxiu looked at Qingfeng with a face of adoration.
