Ye Yun, startled by the appearance of the middle-aged beautiful woman, smiled.
“Manager Wang, it’s you, what a coincidence.”
The person in front of him was actually a client of his sister-in-law Li Menghan, Sister Wang.
“Hmm?”
Wang Meiling walked up to Ye Yun, her eyes fixed on the ancient coin in his hand, her brow furrowed.
“Little Brother Ye, could you let me take a look at the copper coin in your hand?”
“You mean this one?” Ye Yun raised the Tianjuan Zhongbao in his hand.
“That’s right.”
Wang Meiling said gravely.
Ye Yun pondered.
If he remembered correctly, the punk in his past life had sold it to Tianbao Pavilion, not Wang Meiling.
After thinking for a moment, Ye Yun still handed it over.
“Alright, take a look.”
After receiving the copper coin, Wang Meiling examined it carefully, her brow furrowing deeper.
Instantly, Wang Wenwen and the attendant from Tianbao Pavilion also frowned. One sharp-eyed attendant even went to call down the person in charge of Tianbao Pavilion.
Everyone was looking at Wang Meiling.
Could this copper coin be some kind of treasure?
This young man seemed to know Wang Meiling.
What was his background?
“Auntie, what’s the story behind this copper coin?”
Wang Wenwen couldn't help but walk over to take a look. It was a worn-out copper coin with patina on it.
“Square hole, round coin. The character 'Tian' faces up on the right, its last stroke slightly short. The character 'Juan' is plump but not bloated, majestic and spirited. The character 'Zhong' is written with flowing strokes, its horizontal stroke is excellent. The character 'Bao' is slightly elevated, with a long and strong cap and foot!”
“Tianjuan Zhongbao, it really is Tianjuan Zhongbao!”
Wang Meiling exclaimed after a careful examination.
Ye Yun remained outwardly calm, his mind already racing.
He hadn’t expected Wang Meiling to recognize it as Tianjuan Zhongbao.
In his previous life, Tianbao Pavilion had bought the Tianjuan Zhongbao for 1 million and resold it for a sky-high price of 5 million.
Could it be…
That Wang Meiling in front of him was the one who had been duped?
But with such discernment, she didn't seem like an ordinary businesswoman!
Ye Yun couldn't help but chuckle.
Wang Meiling’s identity was not something he needed to worry about.
However, if he could sell it to her.
Was this cutting out the middleman and earning the profit?
“Little Aunt, what is Tianjuan Zhongbao? Is it very rare?” Wang Wenwen came closer, very curious.
Wang Meiling suddenly said excitedly.
“Extremely rare. This Tianjuan Zhongbao was minted during the reign of Jin Xizong, the third emperor of the Jin Dynasty.”
“From a young age, he studied Han Chinese classics and history under Han Fang, a Jinshi of the Liao Dynasty, and often studied Central Plains texts in the imperial library’s Qigu Hall. He implemented the Tianjuan New Policies, which played a positive role in accelerating the Jin Dynasty's feudalization and adoption of Han culture.”
“Among them, the most famous are the three types of coins minted by Jin Xizong in imitation of the Song Dynasty: Tianjuan Zhongbao, Tianjuan Yuanbao, and Tianjuan Tongbao. Any of them are rare ancient coin treasures!”
“When the old man and I were looking at albums at home before the new year, he highly praised these three types of ancient coins. Only three Tianjuan Zhongbao coins have survived, and they are among the Fifty Rare Ancient Coins, with extremely high collection value!”
Hearing this, the person in charge of Tianbao Pavilion and Wang Wenwen’s expressions changed.
Fifty Rare Ancient Coins, only three surviving.
Any artifact associated with these words would be priceless!
After a long pause.
“Little Brother Ye, where did you get this item?”
“Manager Wang, I just picked it up at a flea market, do you believe me?”
Ye Yun smiled.
Wang Meiling’s expression stiffened, and she exclaimed.
“Impossible!”
Then, she shook her head slightly and muttered to herself.
“No, it’s only possible to get it through a lucky find. I know where the three surviving ones are, you couldn’t have gotten one…”
At this moment, she was almost mumbling in a daze, never expecting that the ancient coin her grandfather had been longing for would be encountered by her!
“Little Aunt, stop sighing, how much is this thing?”
Wang Wenwen didn’t understand antiques, but from her aunt’s words, she understood that Grandpa really liked this ancient coin.
Since Grandpa liked it, it was simple.
Wang Meiling came back to her senses and toyed with the Tianjuan Zhongbao in her hand.
“Two years ago, at an internal auction in Jinling, I saw a Tianjuan Zhongbao. The auction price was 4.1 million.”
“Considering the condition of that one was not as good as this one, and its investment value, I estimate the price would not be less than 5 million!”
5 million!
As this number was spoken, everyone present gasped.
The person in charge of Tianbao Pavilion’s eyes nearly popped out.
Apart from a few of the museum’s treasures, nothing else in the entire Tianbao Pavilion was worth as much as this small copper coin?
And this young man had found it by chance?
Damn it!
Why don’t I have such good luck!
Instantly, the manager’s eyes turned red, wishing he could devour Ye Yun and take his place.
That was 5 million!
Even in Jinling, where land was extremely expensive and housing prices were unimaginably high.
But 5 million was enough to buy a house in some less desirable areas!
“Hey, I’ll buy this for five million, okay?”
Wang Wenwen quickly spoke to Ye Yun.
According to her aunt, this Tianjuan Zhongbao was definitely the best gift for Grandpa’s birthday!
As long as Grandpa liked it, 5 million was just a number.
Wang Meiling frowned slightly.
If it were someone else, it would be fine for her niece to say that.
But having interacted with Ye Yun, she could feel that there was a pride deep within him!
Ye Yun, however, did not get angry at the young woman’s rudeness.
He did indeed have a sense of pride.
But such pride was not meant to be displayed at this moment.
Besides, would a lion get angry at the taunts of an ant?
In his eyes, the young woman’s rudeness was like that of a child.
“If you sell this copper coin to me, consider it a favor I, Wang Wenwen, owe you, how about it?”
Wang Wenwen?
Ye Yun was startled. The name sounded so familiar.
Instantly, a memory about Wang Wenwen slowly pieced itself together in Ye Yun’s mind.
…
At the same time, at the advertising company where Li Mengyao worked.
Bang!
A stack of documents was slammed onto her desk.
Manager Meng Hai roared furiously.
“Li Mengyao, do you still want to work here! You were tasked with the promotion business for Tiancheng Film and Television Company, and now it’s been snatched by a rival company! You can’t do your job, and you even bring your child to work. Is this your attitude towards work?”
Before, Li Mengyao had been quite well-taken care of at the company.
Of course, most of that was from the men.
The reason…
They were all opportunistic.
After all, Li Mengyao was such a delicate beauty, and after having a child, she carried the mature woman’s charm.
Furthermore, everyone had heard that Li Mengyao was married to a good-for-nothing husband, which made these beasts’ adrenaline surge.
As her direct superior, Meng Hai had long considered Li Mengyao as his private property.
However, no matter what efforts he made, how he cared for her in his work and life, Li Mengyao always maintained a distance from him.
Later, she even explicitly rejected his suggestive confession.
This made Meng Hai furious and he wanted to seize the opportunity.
Now, seeing Li Mengyao bring her daughter to work and her work not being done.
And her other colleagues had already left work, this was the best opportunity!
No matter what, he had to conquer this mature woman!
