Gu Menglan sneered, "That appraisal certificate was issued by multiple experts together. The investigation results from the sampling showed that there were no problems with those things, otherwise they wouldn't have given out this appraisal certificate. Whether you believe it or not, I must declare that we are not a careless appraisal institution. I don't dare say anything else, but from the sampling to the appraisal process, everything was fine. Don't mix us up with others."

  "What about those who didn't come back for inspection?" Du Hao immediately grasped the key point and asked Gu Mian.

  "Don't you think it's inappropriate to ask me this? And why should I tell you?" Gu Mian looked at Du Hao with a hint of mockery.

  If someone else came to ask, she might even mention it and let them wait a bit, at least until after she had touched the golden silk clothes and Mr. Xue had firmed up his determination again before making a decision.

  But if it were Du Hao, she wouldn't be so kind-hearted. She had already been extremely generous by not insisting that the golden silk clothes were genuine, and as for whether Du Hao and the Du Corporation would be deceived or not, that was no longer her concern.

  "Mengmeng, don't you really know anything?" Du Hao asked in a low voice.

  He will come to find Gu Mian today, and he is also being forced to be a bit urgent. The Du Corporation is a listed company, his father is the chairman, but big things still need the consent of other directors to decide.

  This time, Shi Youcai took out the golden silk jade clothes and obtained an authoritative appraisal certificate. After that, he began to build connections everywhere, spreading the news of his intention to enter the domestic market, hoping others would invest, and actively contacting banks.

  They, the Du family group, were one of the key targets of Shi Youcai's efforts to win over. He had always been skeptical of Jin Lvyi's valuation of 1.6 billion for the Golden Brocade Robe and felt that such a large investment should not be made based solely on that.

  Most of the people on the board had accepted favors from Shi Youcai and didn't think that golden brocade dress was a big deal, even his dad was very interested in this investment plan.

  The Du family has invested a lot in the large leisure resort in Taiyuan, if they invest heavily in Shiyouchai again, what if something unexpected happens in between, it will affect the company.

  If he can't come up with strong evidence that there's a problem with the gold-embroidered jade clothes, then within these few days, the people from the finance department will transfer the investment funds to Shi Youcai.

  He heard that Gu Xiang's teacher, Professor Wang, was also one of the main personnel involved in this appraisal of Jinlun Yuyi, so he came to try it out and confirm whether Jinlun Yuyi was genuine or not.

  Unfortunately, Gu Mei only exchanged pleasantries with him and didn't answer any of his key questions.

  "I've already said it, I don't need to answer your question." He looked at Du Hao calmly.

  "Is it really going to be like this between us? I know I wronged you back then, but... my heart still has you." Du Hao couldn't help but feel annoyed seeing Gu Mian like this. He had been thinking about Gu Mian from time to time, yet Gu Mian was treating him like this.

  "Mr. Du, don't forget that you're a married man now. I don't want to get involved in your marriage, it's better for you to erase me from your heart! There's no such thing as getting something for nothing, between career and love, since you chose career, don't pretend to still be thinking of love. Your actions will only tarnish the word 'love'!" Gu Mian also got angry. She never thought that Du Hao would have the nerve to say something like this.

  "Career and love, who doesn't want both? I just chose the path that should be chosen. You ask me to delete you from my heart, if it's really that easy to delete, would I not delete?" Du Hao gradually began to lose control of his emotions as well, especially when he thought back to the exhibition that day and saw Gu Mian standing with another man, his heart became even more confused.

  "That's your business, don't drag me into it. Forget it, no point in wasting words on you!" Gu Mei skirted around Du Hao, preparing to leave.

  Du Hao took a deep breath, and his confused mind finally cleared up a bit. He remembered the main purpose of his visit today. He still stepped forward two steps and stopped Gu Mian again: "Alright, I understand. We won't talk about this anymore. How about this? You can pretend that I'm here for consultation, you name a price, and I'll pay you the consultation fee."

  Gu Mei listened to Du Hao's words and didn't know what to say anymore.

  Du Hao is like that, whenever something happens, he uses money to settle it. At the beginning of the regrettable marriage, it was like that, and now it's like that again. Well, since he likes to use money to solve problems so much, she'll just accommodate him!

  "One million, if you're willing to give me one million, then I'll tell you my answer." Gu Mian said.

  1 million?

  Du Hao's body stiffened as he heard this: "Ming Ming, you're speaking so loudly, it seems like you don't want to tell me."

  "One million might be a bit too much for ordinary people, but for you, Mr. Du, it shouldn't be a problem. Anyway, I've already set the price here, whether to accept it or not is up to your own decision." Gu Mian looked up at Du Hao with a cold gaze.

  Identification of things is basically not free, and more or less will charge identification fees, which will be based on the value of the identified items.

  There are not many people like Gu Zhen who can sell their paintings for 1 million yuan as soon as they open their mouths, and it is still a price that only a master of appraisal would have.

  "One hundred thousand versus one billion, isn't that a bit too much? " Gu Ming shook his head, pulled out a piece of paper and scribbled down her bank account number, stuffing it into Du Hao's hand: "Whether you give it or not is up to you, anyway I've said my piece, I'm the kind who gets paid first before doing anything."

  After finishing speaking, Gu Mei didn't wait for Du Hao's reaction and turned to leave freely, while this time Du Hao did not stop her again.

  Gu Mei opened with a price of 10 million, originally wanting to make Du Hao know difficulty and retreat. After all, 10 million is not a small sum, but for her, it's not that attractive. With just her left hand, as long as there's an opportunity, it's a profitable deal worth tens of millions.

  Moreover, she still has 9 top-grade Starlight Blue Gems in her hand, and Du Hao can't even lift his head in front of her.

  She knew that Du Hao was always cautious and had a certain degree of pride. Du Hao could give her money for compensation, but he wouldn't be forced to give her money under duress.

  Now Du Hao feels that the appraisal fee is too high, and one day she will let Du Hao voluntarily hold a large sum of money to beg her.

  Gu Mei walked away without any pressure, and didn't put Du Hao's matter in her heart at all. On the contrary, because of Du Hao's fuss, her anxious heart calmed down a lot.

  A few days later, Qin Sheng finally called her and said that the time had been arranged. They would go to appraise the Golden Thread Jade Robe the day after tomorrow.

  The day of the appointment coincided with work hours, so Gu Mei, feeling apologetic towards Professor Wang, hastily asked for leave and went to the place Qin Sheng had mentioned at the appointed time.

  She didn't see Xue Lao immediately, but instead saw Qin Sheng alone.

  "Didn't you say that Old Xue was also going? Why can't I see him?" Gu Mian looked around, confirming that there was no sign of Old Xue.

  "Don't worry, we'll go ourselves, Xue Lao will go later." Qin Sheng opened the car door and let Gu Mian get in.

  Gu Mei nodded and obediently got into Qin Sheng's car, letting him take her to their destination.

  Only when she arrived at her destination did she not look for Xue Lao, but instead saw Robert and Tang Ming.

  This was a great surprise to her, and she subconsciously turned back to look at Qin Sheng. Could it be that the method Qin Sheng mentioned that would make Shi Youcai agree to reopen the glass cabinet for re-examination was Robert and Tang Ming?

  Tang Ming immediately saw Gu Mei getting off the car with Qin Sheng, but he didn't have time to think about it now because another car slowly drove over, and Tang Ming and Robert both walked towards that car.

  Qin Sheng also gave Gu Meng a signal, letting Gu Meng follow him: "Later you go directly to Old Man Xue's side."

  "Uh-huh." Gu Meng nodded, looking excitedly at the black sedan that had come to a complete stop, her idol Xue Lao was inside.

  Qin Sheng strode forward and stopped in front of the parked car, opening the rear door.

  Soon, Xue Lao, who had been seen by Gu Mei in some reports, appeared alive and well before her eyes. It wasn't just Xue Lao, but also Mr. Qiao came along with him.

  Mr. Qiao glanced at Gu Mei quickly, with a faint smile in his eyes.

  Gu Mian remembered Qin Sheng's words and stood behind Mr. Xue as soon as he got off the car, while Mr. Xue didn't even glance at Gu Mian, but he didn't say anything either, which was equivalent to acknowledging Gu Mian's actions.

  Tang Ming looked at the scene in front of him and couldn't help but feel a little strange.

  Xue Lao was invited by them after Qin Sheng had put in a lot of effort, just to see if the golden silk jade clothes were real or not.

  Shi Youcai didn't just think of borrowing from domestic banks, but also set his sights on foreign banks. Coincidentally, the bank Shi Youcai contacted had a large stake held by Robert's family, so they invited Old Xue over as a precaution.

  Robert was also half-believing and half-doubting that appraisal certificate, and he wouldn't feel at ease until he verified it personally.

  Robert didn't care what Tang Ming was thinking at this moment, he knew that Old Xue was difficult to invite, and now he had put down his body, using a tone that was unknowingly warmer than usual to ask Old Xue questions, and his words and deeds were also filled with respect for Old Xue as everyone's elder.

  Just as Robert was asking Old Xue, several cars came one after another from behind. After the cars stopped, many people got off with various instruments.

  Gu Yan glanced over and found that these were basically all the instruments used to inspect jade pieces. This Old Xue... wasn't he planning on doing an on-site analysis here?
