He's Actually A Sexy Girl? I Erected!

Chapter 423: [423] Can’t afford to provoke, just can’t afford_1
 

The batches of goods that Qin Yanan urgently arranged started to arrive one after another from the afternoon.

Ge Hui led a group of employees, transferring these antiques to the warehouse with utmost care.

As for Tang Feng, he was in charge of quality control, with the aid of the scanning system, no fakes could escape his eyes.

In just one afternoon, he had identified more than a dozen fakes, sending them all back to where they came from.

The suppliers, having seen this, all gave Tang Feng a big thumbs-up.

“Tsk tsk tsk, these fakes are made so convincingly, even we were almost fooled. Boss Tang recognized them at a glance.”

“No wonder Boss Tang won the championship in the Appraisers’ contest, his skills are undeniable.”

“I had heard that Elegant Pavilion aimed to ensure ‘one hundred percent authenticity’ and thought they were boasting, but now I see, I’m convinced.”

“With Boss Tang here, Elegant Pavilion is going to take off…”

Qin Yanan listened to their excessive flattery on the side, feeling very happy in her heart.

Compliments to Tang Feng were, in a way, compliments to her too.

After all, she had personally discovered this genius.

Finding a genius is common, but finding a great mentor is rare.

Whoever mentions him in the future will surely remember Qin Yanan as well, and that’s enough for her.

By eight o’clock in the evening, Tang Feng, Qin Yanan, and a group of employees from the store gathered in front of the TV, eagerly waiting for their advertisement to be broadcast.

“Why haven’t they started broadcasting yet? Is Mao Anyi deceiving us?”

“She shouldn’t be, right? She’s such a well-known host, why would she deceive us?”

“I’ve already bragged about it. My parents and my girlfriend are all waiting to see me on TV. If it doesn’t air, I’ll be so embarrassed.”

“Here it comes, it’s starting…”

While everyone was talking, the program formally began.

The show was called “Charm of Tradition,” a very conventional name, mainly exploring some aspects of traditional culture.

As an antique shop, Elegant Pavilion fit well with the style of the program.

The beginning of the show did not immediately showcase Elegant Pavilion, but first introduced the situation of the antique industry.

As national income increased, the antique industry had been getting hotter in recent years.

Many people regarded antiques as a form of investment.

However, because the industry is so complex, many people have lost their life’s savings.

After so much buildup, they finally got to the main topic.

Elegant Pavilion finally appeared on screen.

As Mao Anyi’s poetic voice arose, the camera slowly zoomed in, pausing for two seconds on the Elegant Pavilion’s sign.

Although it was only for a short two seconds, it was enough to get the group of employees excited.

“Look, look, our shop is on TV.”

“Elegant Pavilion, I didn’t think much of the name before, but why does it feel so catchy after seeing it on TV?”

“Of course, it’s good. With both ‘feng’ and ‘ya’ in it, dare you say it’s not good?”

“Exactly, exactly. When the two bosses come together, they are force to be reckoned with…”

Qin Yanan’s face turned red at their teasing, “Just watch the show, will you? Why all the nonsense?”

The employees had a teasing look on their faces.

Even a fool could tell that their Mr. Qin had certain feelings for Boss Tang.

Otherwise, why would she change “Ya Garden” to “Elegant Pavilion”? The implication couldn’t be more obvious.

However, they dared to make only a couple of teasing comments, afraid to go too far for fear of angering Qin Yanan.

The program continued.

Next, the camera moved inside the store.

“Wow, I’m on TV, did you guys see just now? I was standing right at the front.”

“I’m on TV too, but why do I look so ugly? And kind of sleazy? It doesn’t capture my heroic spirit at all.”

“Are you kidding yourself? You’re sleazy all the time, alright?”

“Nonsense, when have I ever?”

“Alright, quiet down. Is it such a big deal being on TV? With such thin skins, how can you handle big things?”

Ge Hui stepped in to scold them at this point.

The employees had no choice but to shut up.

Given the current situation, it seemed highly likely that Ge Hui would be promoted to manager, and they’d have to respect him as their immediate superior in the future.

But Ge Hui was only so noble when talking about others. When he appeared on TV himself, he was even more excited than anyone else.

“Did you see that? Did everyone see that? I was on TV and even got to be interviewed by Mao Anyi personally. Don’t I look handsome? Look at you guys, that’s the difference…”

The employees immediately gave him derogatory looks.

They didn’t see how that was handsome at all.

Wasn’t he just as sleazy as they come?

Tang Feng and Qin Yanan watched the employees bantering, wearing smiles on their faces.

Their thoughts went further.

They could foresee that with the broadcast of tonight’s episode, Elegant Pavilion would become a sensation in Zhonghai.

Tomorrow, the shop might be busier than ever before.

They must prepare more goods overnight.

…

Ya Shuangxi was an ordinary antique enthusiast.

Actually, to be more precise, he had only entered the field a little over two months ago.

Mainly because he had recently retired with some extra money in his hands, he always wanted to make some investments.

But he didn’t understand stocks or funds, and the sight of numbers made him sleepy.

A while back, a few of his friends were discussing their antique collections, and one of them reportedly bought a vase for a hundred thousand a few years ago, which after a recent appraisal, shockingly shot up in value to five hundred thousand, five times its original price.

This greatly intrigued him.

He wasn’t looking for such a windfall, but as long as he could make a little money, outpace inflation, he would be content.

Over the past two months, he had also bought quite a few small items, spending a total of nearly a hundred thousand.

But after having them appraised by experts, they all turned out to be fakes.

Although the loss wasn’t huge, it severely dampened his enthusiasm for antiques.

He was thinking it might be best to pull out now while he wasn’t too deeply involved.

It was then that Mao Anyi suddenly appeared on his TV, immediately catching his eye.

Like most men in Zhonghai, he viewed Mao Anyi as the woman of his dreams.

Every time he saw her, regardless of the show, he would pay extra attention.

“Elegant Pavilion?”

When he saw the antique shop’s sign on TV, he was momentarily taken aback.

It was the first time he had heard of this name.
