"This, this seems to be the Ming Xuande blue-and-white flat vase with a design of white dragons in the sea waves that was auctioned off for over a hundred million!" What was even more shocking was yet to come. The vase on display in the Shen family was recognized by someone.
The precious artifact right in front of him made Qian Shu lose his cool. Shen Yi and his wife had similar expressions, feeling that today's events were too surreal.
"It wasn't bought at an auction. We found it by chance," Shen Nanyi felt it necessary to explain. Otherwise, people might misunderstand that they had spent so much money on antiques, and she wouldn't be able to explain it to Shen Yi.
Shen Nanyi's explanation was sincere and true, but whether others believed it or not was another matter.
"... Can I ask how much all these things are worth in total?" Shen Yi felt that he had seen too few things. It took him a full few minutes to come to his senses.
Since there were professional people present, Shen Yi thought it would be better to know the price. Otherwise, he might be scared to death one day if his stress tolerance was too low.
Shen Yi's question was exactly what everyone present was most curious about. Everyone's eyes turned to Qian Shu.
Everyone silently guessed a number in their hearts, but no matter what the number was, it was an astronomical figure.
Shen Nanyi kept winking at Qian Shu, but suddenly she didn't want to know the price of all the things anymore. If Shen Yi knew the value of these things, his heart might not be able to bear it.
"Conservatively estimated, it's several hundred million," Qian Shu saw Shen Nanyi's look, but he didn't intend to hide it. He was quite happy to see Shen Nanyi in a difficult situation: "Some of them haven't appeared in auctions for a long time, so the price might be even higher."
This was a very conservative estimate. People around couldn't help but gasp. How incredibly wealthy! They just casually displayed items worth several hundred million in their home?
Hearing this number, shock flashed in Zhao Bowen's eyes for a moment, and then he frowned as he thought of a plan.
Shen Nanyi was still thinking about how to explain things reasonably when Zhao Bowen walked up to her and suddenly knelt down on the ground. Not only that, he also dragged Zhao Shibo beside him.
"We didn't know the price of these things. Our family has a hard time. Can we just let this matter go?" Zhao Bowen's words were sincere and very heartfelt.
Zhao Shibo seemed to suddenly understand and directly kowtowed to Shen Nanyi. The movement was so large that his forehead was about to swell.
This sudden change was unexpected by everyone, and there was no time to stop them.
As he spoke, Zhao Bowen's eyes glanced at the phone beside him from time to time. He had just checked, and from this angle, he could clearly film the situation in the living room.
As long as he showed enough sincerity and took advantage of people's hatred of the rich, it would be easy to arouse people's resonance.
So what if she was rich? In the end, wouldn't she still have to forgive them under the pressure of public opinion?
"... What does my wealth have to do with you? Does being poor mean you can act like a scoundrel? Am I supposed to suffer just because I'm rich? What kind of logic is that?" Shen Nanyi saw Zhao Bowen's glances, but she didn't care.
"Come and take a look! The rich are bullying people! With so much money, they're trying to force us to death! Is there anyone to take care of this?!" Compared to Zhao Bowen's euphemism, Zhao Shibo was quite direct.
Seeing that kowtowing on the ground wasn't effective, Zhao Shibo simply knelt on the ground and threw a tantrum.
The few people in the living room were stunned. What an extraordinary family!
If the two of them hadn't caused such a scene before, there might have been someone who would feel sympathetic. But after what had just happened, how could they have any sympathy left?
No matter how loudly the father and son shouted, the people around just looked at them coldly and showed no intention of stepping forward.
Zhao Shibo shouted even louder, as this kind of situation had never happened in his impression.
The more indifferent the people around were, the more confident Zhao Bowen felt. Once the video was uploaded to the Internet, surely many people would stand on his side, and these onlookers today would also be punished.
"Alright," Zhao Bowen quickly changed his expression after achieving the desired effect and quickly got up from the ground.
The people in the antique world were, to some extent, half of the academic world. They had never seen such a scene before and just stared at Zhao Bowen motionlessly, their worldviews being refreshed.
Taking big strides to the table, Zhao Bowen picked up the phone. After confirming that the recorded content was okay, the gloom on his face disappeared: "As long as you don't pursue this, we can resolve this peacefully. Everyone will be happy. If you do pursue it, I'll upload the video to the Internet. I can't guarantee what will happen then."
Shaking the phone in his hand, Zhao Bowen was quite confident. Working in a media company, he knew best how powerful the Internet could be.
A controversial piece of content, combined with his behind - the - scenes manipulation, would surely become popular.
"You're so shameless!!" After the previous incident, Shen Yi could somewhat feel the horror of public opinion. He was really angry.
Afraid that Shen Nanyi would be hurt again, Shen Yi wanted to rush over to grab the phone, but before he could act, Shen Nanyi grabbed him.
Looking at Zhao Shibo, Shen Nanyi showed an innocent smile: "Since you've said so, I'll fulfill your wish. I just don't know if the content on your phone is complete. Coincidentally, our home has surveillance cameras. The latest version, super clear."
Shen Nanyi's voice wasn't loud, but every word hit Zhao Bowen's heart.
"You're lying. I've checked. There are no surveillance cameras," Zhao Bowen was extremely panicked but tried hard to stay calm.
It was easy to tell if there were surveillance cameras. He had observed just now, and there was nothing in the living room.
Shen Nanyi didn't waste any words. She directly took out her phone and pointed the screen at Zhao Bowen. The scene on the phone was exactly what was happening now.
Zhao Bowen staggered and leaned on the sofa beside him, his face pale.
"So what if you have a video? In the era of big data, as long as I move my fingers, your video will be blocked. Do you understand?" Things had developed to this point, and there was no way to resolve it amicably. So Zhao Bowen simply started to act like a scoundrel.
The people present had been constantly shocked by Zhao Bowen's behavior and felt numb, but they still didn't expect that Zhao Bowen could be so shameless.
"You're the supervisor in the data department of Xingyi Media, right?" Shen Nanyi wasn't panicked at all. She looked at Zhao Bowen as if he were a fool, but unfortunately, Zhao Bowen didn't notice.
Zhao Bowen didn't understand the deeper meaning of Shen Nanyi's words at all. Instead, he nodded proudly: "You know quite a lot. Since you know I work there, don't provoke me. Otherwise, I can just find a celebrity to post a Weibo, and you'll be in big trouble!"
Shen Yi beside him seriously repeated the name Xingyi Media. He always felt that it was a bit familiar.
