”Qingfeng Li, can you determine the authenticity of my ceramic plate? You should admit defeat if you cannot,” Changqing Li said with a cold smile.
”Who said that I can't?” Qingfeng asked as he furrowed his brows.
”Then tell me, is this plate real or fake?”
”Can't you see I am still looking at it?”
”You're taking too long. Stop delaying.”
”I will give you an answer three minutes later,” Qingfeng said with a confident smile.
Then, he held up the ceramic plate and started observing it closely.
Antiques were all objects that have a history. Most antiques would have marks on their surface.
This plate was said to be from the Qing Dynasty which was a hundred years ago. The plate should have a black tint but it was very white. There was a white layer sprayed onto the plate.
Qingfeng knocked on the plate and there was a heavy thud instead of a bright crisp sound. This meant that the plate had a history. The white surface was just a cover up.
It looked like it was fake but the plate was authentic.
”The ceramic plate is authentic,” Qingfeng said with a slight smile.
The surrounding people looked at Qingfeng with astonishment. Anyone who was slightly knowledgeable about antiques could tell that the plate had a white surface sprayed on.
Even though Qingfeng was the winner of the theory exam, he became a fool when it came to practical application. How could he not see that the plate was fake?
Changqing Li smiled insultingly and said, ”Qingfeng, everyone says you are clever but I think you are stupid. It is clear from the outer surface that the plate is from modern times but you say that it is authentic.”
Lei Tang looked at Qingfeng and said, ”You said it is real? How are you going to prove it?”
Qingfeng nodded and said, ”It is very simple. We only need to break the plate. But I'm scared that Changqing Li will ask me for compensation.”
”Hahaha, who would care about a fake. Qingfeng Li, feel free to break the plate. I won't ask you for compensation,” Changqing Li said with disdain.
”You asked me to break the plate. Don't blame me later,” Qingfeng said with a mocking smile.
He held up the plate and smashed it towards the ground.
Smash!
The plate fell to the ground with a thud. Instantly, it was broken into many pieces. The aged interior and color were also exposed.
Qingfeng grabbed a plate and pointed at the grey layer. He said loudly, ”Look everybody, this is an antique from 100 years ago. With time, it had become grey. The outer white layer was intentionally sprayed on by someone.”
”Wow, the plate is actually authentic.”
”Wow, a Qing Dynasty plate is worth millions of dollars these days. Qingfeng just smashed a million dollars.”
”Hehe, the plate doesn't belong to him anyway. It belongs to Changqing Li.”
The surrounding people discussed animatedly and looked at Qingfeng with shock in their eyes.
This idiot asked Qingfeng to smash the plate just now. He must be appalled now. Not only did he lose the competition, he lost an antique.
