A faint smile appeared on Lin Xiaotian's face. He directly gave a thumbs-up and praised, "Wife, you're simply too smart. You knew I couldn't stay in the company all the time, so the position you're giving me during this period is definitely not suitable for me."
"But I think Old Master Tang is excellent. His discernment and strength are evident. If Old Master Tang were the chief appraiser, the error rate of our antiques would be minimized."
"That way, we won't have to face situations where if something fake appears, we have to compensate tenfold, and how much money would that cost."
Chu Nianxue shook her head helplessly, "It's not that easy. Grandpa Tang is already so old. His eightieth birthday is coming up soon. I can't bear to let Grandpa Tang continue to help me at the company."
"So, I don't plan to continue establishing the position of chief appraiser. I intend to recruit more appraisers for the company, and I also want Grandpa Tang to introduce me to some people with strong capabilities."
"I've already arranged to meet them at noon today. If you have time, come along and take a look with me. If not, it's fine. The people Grandpa Tang introduces will definitely be reliable."
Lin Xiaotian smiled slyly, "Alright, I'll come over at noon if I have time. If I can't make it, then forget it."
"I'm going to start preparing to collect treasures. When I get back, I'll definitely give you a surprise, my wife. Can I tonight..."
"No!" Chu Nianxue's face immediately flushed with shyness and annoyance.
Thinking about his mischievous actions last night, she felt her face heat up and her heart flutter like a startled deer.
Lin Xiaotian grinned wickedly, waved his hand, and ran out of the villa in a flash.
Chu Nianxue watched his retreating figure from behind, her eyes filled with deep tenderness and affection.
Since Lin Xiaotian appeared, he had helped her so much. From the beginning until now, he had only given, never asked for anything in return. Even when he occasionally teased her, it was always within limits.
As long as she disagreed, Lin Xiaotian never insisted on what he wanted. Having such a person by her side to protect her, she felt it was the greatest gift from heaven.
After leaving the villa, Lin Xiaotian's smile gradually became more pronounced. He drove for about half an hour and arrived in front of an inconspicuous, low-rise building.
In this city, buildings of around three stories were already considered to be in the outskirts.
After all, the city center was now filled with high-rise buildings, with no low-rise structures. He arrived at the entrance and glanced at the information displayed, "Agency Firm."
If it were before, he might not have thought anything of passing by such a place. But after obtaining specific information from those people last night, he already knew what this place was for.
As soon as he walked in, a young man in a white shirt and black trousers immediately stood up.
"Hello, sir. Is there anything I can help you with?"
"I've come here to find someone," Lin Xiaotian said with a bright smile.
"Looking for someone?" the agent blinked in surprise.
Lin Xiaotian nodded with a smile, "That's right, looking for someone."
"I'm looking for a guy named Zhao Feipeng. I want to have a chat with him about life."
The agent looked stunned, then smiled wryly, "To be honest, I know how many employees we have and I recognize all their names, but there's no Zhao Feipeng as you mentioned. Did you come to the wrong place?"
"Of course not. I already received confirmed information that he is among you, and he is your boss."
After saying that, Lin Xiaotian directly stepped inside.
The agent looked bewildered. Who was their boss?
It was then that he realized that he had been working here for a long time and had never actually seen the boss. Usually, their manager handled things. Could this person really be here to find their boss?
He quickly chased after him, "Sir, please wait a moment. I'll go get our manager right away. Floors two and above are for our..."
Before he could finish speaking, Lin Xiaotian had already taken a step. He lightly tapped the ground with his toe, as if gravity had lost its pull, and leaped up, landing at the entrance of the second-floor staircase.
When the agent saw this, his eyes widened in disbelief, and his jaw almost hit his feet.
Lin Xiaotian looked back and smiled, then his figure flickered and he disappeared from everyone's sight.
There weren't many people inside the agency. This was merely a front for them.
The ordinary employees were on the first and second floors. The third floor was where Zhao Feipeng resided.
He rarely came here, but recently some matters had delayed him here.
As Lin Xiaotian ascended, he immediately noticed the antiques displayed in many places on the third floor. They were all genuine. In some other areas, there were also many fakes, and some were even in the process of being made.
He knew he had come to the right place. The smile on his face became even brighter, "Mr. Zhao, I've already come all the way here. Aren't you going to come out and greet me?"
As his voice fell, there was no response from inside. Lin Xiaotian's smile did not diminish at all. He had already heard the sound of breathing from the office. Although it was far away, it could not escape his keen hearing.
"Mr. Zhao, perhaps you don't know who I am? Let me introduce myself, my name is Lin Xiaotian."
"The one you tried to lure away last night."
"Why, after only one night, are you turning your back on me?"
As he said these words with a smile, he had already reached the office door and kicked it open.
The office door immediately exploded.
At this moment, Zhao Feipeng was hiding under his desk, trembling uncontrollably. He just hoped that Lin Xiaotian would leave without seeing him.
After what happened last night, he had already regretted it. Especially when that expert had turned around and left, completely disregarding him.
He had even said that he was acting on his own initiative and courting death. Was it wrong for him to arrange a plan to lure the tiger away from its mountain, to capture the person closest to Lin Xiaotian, in exchange for Lin Xiaotian's resources?
He didn't think he had done anything wrong. Using any means necessary was a business tactic. The one who could laugh to the end was the true victor.
