Chapter 159 Great Discovery of the Pyramids!

Senior sister Zhu, whose full name is Zhu Ruyan, was someone Shen Yiyi had met at a social gathering before.

Zhu Ruyan has a round face that doesn't match her name at all. And because her face is big, a large area of ​​it is exposed to the sun, so her face is darker.

Fortunately, she doesn't rely on her looks to make a living.

Sister Zhu is an outstanding student majoring in archaeology at the School of History, pursuing a master's and doctoral degree. She is the type of scholar who, if she continues her studies step by step, will inherit her mentor's legacy and become a provincial expert.

When Shen Yiyi saw her, it was as if she saw her ideal self.

She instantly put all thoughts of temptation behind her and trotted in.

"Hey, it's you, Shen Yiyi?"

Seeing Xiao Shen, Zhu Ruyan was also surprised. Shouldn't the sophomores be in class at this time? Why did he come to the antique shop?

"Don't you have general studies class this afternoon? Why are you here?"

"Senior sister, you got the wrong person. I am not Shen Yiyi. The person you are talking about is in class right now."

"I'm the one who contacted you on Douyin and arranged to trade here. You can just call me Zhang Guoqiang."

"Uh..." Zhu Ruyan scratched his head, trying to understand Shen Yiyi's train of thought.

After a few seconds, she suddenly realized:
"You are Master Zhang's assistant, right? So you work part-time outside?"

"This is not important. If you ask more questions, we won't give you a discount."

"Okay, then pretend I didn't say anything."

"Let's talk about the discount first. We agreed on a 50% discount. You see, we are alumni, can it be cheaper? You know, I'm still in school and don't have much income..."

"What antiques can you buy if you have no income?"

"At this time, you should choose to make money, or lower your requirements, instead of reducing the income of us sellers." Shen Yiyi said righteously.

This is what Zhang Yang told him before he left. The logic is correct and the values ​​are right. It is specifically used to deal with bargaining parties.

"You're right, but if you're not present for roll call in this afternoon's general education class, you'll fail the course..."

"It can be 500 cheaper at most."

Shen Yiyi could only pay out 500 yuan herself to shut up her senior sister.

"Five hundred? That's fine, five hundred dollars is still money."

"So the total price now is 43500, right?"

"That's right." Shen Yiyi looked at Old Hu who was eating melons on the side: "Uncle Hu, this money should be counted into the store's account. At the same time, an invoice should be issued and a confidentiality agreement should be signed."

"No problem, my boss told me, I have already prepared the documents."

Zhang Yang is not a hands-off boss, he just doesn't have the time to show up. Of course, he will not neglect the necessary preparations.

Seeing Lao Hu get up to get something, Zhu Ruyan suddenly moved her chair and moved closer to Shen Yiyi.

She ignored Xiao Shen's confused look and said carefully:

"How much do you know about your employer, Master Zhang, who specializes in antique imitation techniques?"

"I know a lot." Shen Yiyi answered innocently.

"Schoolgirl, your answer seems to be nonsense."

"I mean, do you know who he learned his craft from? Why is he good at bronze, pottery, and mummification?"

“Is there a professional team behind him to package him? In fact, he himself knows nothing?”

Shen Yiyi looked at Zhu Ruyan in shock.

She hadn't expected that a graduate student would speculate so maliciously about her senior.

Is this the Jimei locking technique I learned from Xiaohongshu?
She asked angrily, "Sister, what you actually want to ask is whether Zhang Guoqiang is a real antique or a product of traffic. You actually don't know anything, right?"

"Yes."

Zhu Ruyan said with certainty: "I have watched all of his live broadcasts. If the knowledge he showed is entirely his own, then he is more than qualified to be a university professor."

“This is clearly unscientific.”

"Really?" Shen Yiyi raised half of her eyebrow and asked back.

For some reason, she sensed a sour taste in the tone and demeanor of this senior sister Zhu.

It’s a bit like the geniuses in small families in fantasy novels. After hearing the stories about geniuses in the whole world, they say with disdain: It must be made up, because she herself can’t do it.

Shen Yiyi would not have such thoughts, she would only think:
My senior brother is so outstanding. I want to learn from him and become as outstanding as him.

"Of course it is. I'm tired of seeing this kind of thing on Douyin." Zhu Ruyan said proudly.

She didn't notice the expression on Xiao Shen's face and thought her guess was confirmed.

It turns out that he is someone promoted by the team.

I didn’t expect that they could find such a niche field as counterfeiting antiques. Wow, capital.

However, this team was indeed willing to spend a lot of money, because Zhu Ruyan knew a little about mummies, and she could not find any flaws in Zhang Yang.

It is obvious that it was co-produced by professionals, possibly even foreign experts.

Otherwise she wouldn't come to buy today.

Those masters who really know how to make fake mummies would not do this kind of work because they cannot lower themselves to such a level.

Therefore, she was determined to get this Kun Kun mummy. If she missed this opportunity, she didn’t know how long she would have to wait.

After a while, Lao Hu came back with various documents.

The most important of these is a "Confidentiality Agreement", which is the prerequisite that Zhang Yang values ​​most when selling goods.

Zhu Ruyan picked it up and took a look at it, nodding as she read.

"There's nothing wrong with this agreement. But I'll pay a 20% deposit first, and then pay the balance and sign the agreement after inspecting the goods. Is that okay?"

"Of course no problem." Xiao Shen and Lao Hu answered in unison.

An hour later, the mummy in the yard was moved over and placed on the floor of the antique shop.

Shen Yiyi stood by with her arms folded. She wanted to see how this woman inspected the goods.

Qingzhou University doesn’t teach this, so is it possible that she could have taught herself?

Then, she looked at this senior sister Zhu, suddenly took out her cell phone and made a video call.

On the other side of the video is a foreign old man.

On the wall behind the old man, there is a round badge. In the center of the badge is a person with a human body and a bird head, sitting on a throne.

"From Cairo?"

"Yes, this is my teacher during the exchange period, Mr. Naja, a tenured professor at the School of Archaeology at Cairo University."

"He used to specialize in mummies."

"Awesome! Then why don't you show it to him?" Shen Yiyi was a little confused.

After connecting the video, Zhu Ruyan did not show the mummy in front of the camera.

He even deliberately adjusted his position, as if he was afraid that the other party would see the mummy clearly.

Zhu Xuejie's explanation is:
"This is a fake. It would be too unfair to ask him to identify it directly. I will just compare the characteristics. If I can't find any flaws, then I will consider this product to be fine."

"Senior sister, you are such a nice person, and you have such a great personality." Shen Yiyi said with a thumbs up.

But Xiao Shen didn't think about one question:
The senior wants to buy this mummy but she won’t show it to her professional teacher, so what is she trying to do?
In fact, a month later, the mummy was airlifted to Cairo, Egypt, and buried in an archaeological area under excavation late one night.

Less than a few hundred meters away from this archaeological area is Egypt’s most famous cultural relic, the Giza Pyramids.
