Chapter 100: Connecting with Listening to the Spring and Appreciating Jade in the Live Stream!
The seriousness and reserve on Zhang Fan's face vanished instantly!
Instead, there was an overwhelming sense of ecstasy and excitement!
He rushed to the box, rubbing his hands together, and eagerly took out his phone.
Then, with practiced ease, I opened the Douyin (TikTok) app and entered that familiar live stream room—
【Listening to the Spring and Reflecting on Jade】!
At this moment, an extremely bizarre scene is unfolding in the live stream.
That man who always wore a Zhongshan suit, gold-rimmed glasses, and had a meticulous expression—
Listen to the spring!
He was staring intently at a video chat window on the screen, falling into a long silence.
His brows were furrowed, and his eyes were filled with a confusion and bewilderment unlike anything he had ever experienced in his career.
And in that video window.
A woman dressed in classical Renaissance attire, sporting her signature center-parted hair, strikes the classic Mona Lisa pose…
portrait!
He gave a mysterious smile to the camera.
It's "Chicken Bro"!
The comments section is going crazy!
【? ? ? 】
[Host, this question is way beyond the scope of the curriculum, shall we skip it?]
[Teacher Tingquan: I've appraised treasures my whole life, but I've never seen anything so abstract!]
[Mona Lisa's chicken smile!]
However, Teacher Tingquan remained unmoved.
He adjusted his glasses and spoke slowly in an extremely serious voice:
"This is... a friend of Mona Chicken Bro's collection."
"Judging from the background color and the folds in the clothing of the figures in your work, it does indeed have a Renaissance style..."
"But...but the lighting on your face, and that half-smiling expression..."
"To be frank, it felt more like...performance art to me."
The man on the other end of the live stream spoke, sounding even more excited and expectant.
He spoke in a simple, honest voice, but it was loud and clear:
"Teacher Tingquan! Could you please give me an estimate?"
Upon hearing this, the entire live stream room fell silent for half a second.
A barrage of comments erupted immediately!
【puff--!】
[Valuation? Did I hear that right? He wants his teacher to give him a valuation?]
How do you value a living person? By weight? Hahahaha!
[Teacher Tingquan: I feel I have suffered the greatest insult of my career!]
however.
Everyone underestimated Teacher Tingquan's professional competence!
Then, Tingquan let out a long, long sigh.
That breath seemed to sigh at the absurdity and vicissitudes of human life.
Then, under the stunned gaze of millions, he slowly and solemnly took it out of the drawer...
He took out a calculator!
Pat, pat, pat...
He pressed a few numbers on the calculator without any expression on his face.
He then pointed the calculator at the microphone.
A cold, electronic voice echoed eerily in the live stream room:
"Six, thousand, six, hundred, six, ten, six."
【6666】
The live stream chat was absolutely in stitches!!!
[Holy crap! A calculator! He actually pulled out a calculator! I'm so upset!]
[That's devastating! This teacher is truly incredibly dedicated!]
[6666! I'd call this a killer move! The pinnacle of contemporary performance art!]
[Teacher Tingquan: I've calculated it! Your abstract value is 6666!]
Teacher Tingquan put down the calculator, her face showing an unprecedented weariness.
He looked at the screen and said, word by word:
"Bro, this 6666... consider it a gift from me, okay?"
Who knew?
Upon hearing this, "Chicken Bro" on the other side of the screen had a sudden flash of inspiration.
He smiled sincerely and nodded repeatedly.
"Thank you, Teacher Tingquan! Thank you, teacher!"
Then, he posed a question that made everyone burst out laughing:
"Teacher! So...should I donate this to a museum?"
silence.
A deathly silence.
Even the rapidly scrolling bullet comments paused for a moment.
A few seconds later, Teacher Tingquan pushed up his glasses, and the lenses reflected a cold light.
He spoke slowly in an extremely sincere and serious tone:
"Just a suggestion, brother."
"Highly recommended."
"They'll definitely hang two big red flowers on your head and give you a grand funeral!"
Zhang Fan watched this scene in the live stream and couldn't help but smile slightly.
Popularity...influence...
Perhaps we can try this!
Without further hesitation, he quickly clicked "Request to Connect"!
On the other side, there was Teacher Tingquan, who had just seen off "Mona Lisa".
now.
He was rubbing his temples, exhausted, preparing to end the broadcast and rest.
Suddenly, a new request to connect for a live chat popped up.
He clicked "agree" listlessly, and a young man's face appeared on the screen.
"Hey bro!"
"Same as always, double-tap to flip the camera and let me see your baby."
Listen to Teacher Quan's voice, which is filled with the weariness of being ravaged by life.
Zhang Fan didn't say anything, but simply did as instructed.
Instantly, the live stream screen flipped!
The surrounding scenery suddenly appeared clearly before the eyes of tens of thousands of spectators—
The room has an antique feel, with carved wooden beams.
There were no electric lights, only a few flickering candles, which cast a dim, yellowish light on the entire room!
The live stream was silent for a second, and then the chat exploded!
[Holy crap! Another one?!]
[Hahaha! Is the Hengdian film crew having a team-building event? We just had one Mona Lisa leave, and now this guy in ancient style is here!]
[To be honest, bro, your set design is pretty good! It's way more realistic than that green screen used for that chicken guy earlier!]
[Hey streamer, ask him if he's an extra on some film set! We're not doing treasure hunting today, we're going to visit the set!]
Seeing the screen full of teasing comments, Teacher Tingquan covered his forehead and let out a painful groan.
He felt his blood pressure rise again.
"Bro...you're just kidding me, right?"
He asked in an almost pleading tone:
"Can we call it a day? Teacher, I have a heart condition."
However, Zhang Fan remained silent.
Under the mocking gaze of millions of viewers.
He walked unhurriedly to a wooden box that had just been brought from the Feng residence and casually lifted the lid!
Om-!
A deep, bronze luster instantly pierced everyone's eyes through the camera!
Inside the box...
Lying quietly is a bronze wine vessel with an ancient and simple design, standing on three legs, and with an everted rim!
However, there is no rust on it, and the body of the vessel is engraved with taotie patterns.
—A bronze jue (wine vessel) from the Shang Dynasty!
The viewers in the live stream were stunned once again.
But the next second, an even more intense barrage of sarcastic remarks came crashing down!
Wow! This prop is really well-made! It looks quite intimidating!
[New? Too new! Dude, remember to give it an aged look next time!]
[Hilarious! Isn't this just a bronze artifact model that sells for 9.9 yuan with free shipping on Pinduoduo? I have one at home too!]
Dude, take my advice. Next time you're acting, find a reliable manufacturer for your props. These look obviously fake!
Listening to the mocking comments and looking at the "brand new" bronze jue (a type of ancient Chinese wine vessel), Teacher Tingquan's expression changed at that moment...
It slowly solidified.
