Chapter 77

I'm sure I'm not mistaken. Gao Lian's "Eight Discourses on the Nurturing of Life" records. "Its color is egg white, and the juice is thick and lustrous like piled fat. However, the brown eyes in the juice are hidden like crab claws, and there are tiny mushroom-shaped needles on the bottom." The most distinctive feature of Ru Kiln is the crab claw pattern. This piece, this Old Master really didn't lie, it's an authentic piece!

Gu Jinshui was overjoyed at this moment.

Just as he was about to ask the price, someone behind him called out, "Isn't this Comrade Xiao Gu?"

Gu Jinshui looked in the direction of the sound, and his heart skipped a beat.

The people who came were none other than Guo Pu and Song Jianshe.

The two men walked straight over. Guo Pu, dressed in Zhongshan Suit and looking very elegant, came over, looked at the Yuchun Vase in Gu Jinshui's hand, and smiled, "Comrade Xiao Gu, you want to buy this?"

"Yes, how come you've seen this one too?"

Gu Jinshui clenched his fists, his heart pounding with anxiety.

Song Jianshe is a simpleton, easily fooled, but Guo Pu is different; he truly has some skill. If he can tell that this Ru Kiln is genuine and manages to steal it halfway through, then the outcome will be uncertain.

"Never seen it, but heard of it," Guo Pu laughed. "But since you've taken a liking to it, it might actually be open."

"What do you mean 'maybe'? This is blatantly open!"

The old man was so angry his hands were trembling. "My father was a guard in the palace back then. He took this thing out of there by chance. It's 100% genuine."

Guo Pu sneered, clearly disapproving of such remarks.

In the early days of the antique business, which dealer hadn't heard this kind of talk when buying antiques?

Seeing Guo Pu's expression, Gu Jinshui suddenly had an idea. He deliberately pointed the bottom of the pot at Guo Pu and said, "Mr. Guo, you've come at the right time. Take a look, why is there engraving on the bottom of this bottle? Could this be a genuine antique?"

Hearing the word "engraved", Guo Pu immediately became interested. He stepped forward and took a look. He was amused. There was an engraving on the bottom. This might be the trace left by a forger. If this is a door, such a good thing can have such words engraved on the bottom, and the words are not bad.

Guo Pu's eyes darted around, and he coughed, saying, "It's hard to say. If you like it, just buy it. Don't ask anymore."

"Really?" Gu Jinshui hesitated. "But what about the next word..."

"What's wrong with these characters? They're so beautiful, grand and majestic. They're definitely for opening doors, no doubt about it."

Guo Pu said regretfully, "I had my eye on it, but since you made the first move, I'll let you have it according to the rules."

"Thank you so much!"

Gu Jinshui said happily.

He turned to the old man and asked, "Sir, let's negotiate the price."

The old man, probably fed up with selling his wares, simply said, "Stop haggling, six hundred, I'll sell it to you if you're willing."

"Alright, then come with me to my home and get it."

Gu Jinshui was very straightforward and didn't haggle. He took the old man home directly. After the money was exchanged, the old man couldn't help but say, "Young man, I really didn't rip you off. This is a genuine item."

Gu Jinshui grinned like a weasel. "Grandpa, you don't need to say it, I know it's true."

The old man was stunned for a moment. He looked at Gu Jinshui, then immediately understood. He slapped his forehead, gave Gu Jinshui a thumbs up, and said, "Good job, you really are something else."

Gu Jinshui laughed heartily, "Grandpa, you don't blame me for being unfair, do you?"

The old man was easygoing and said, "What's it to you? I tell people every day that my thing is real, but nobody believes me. You've got a good eye, so it's only right that you got it."

Gu Jinshui saw the old man out, and when he returned, he ran into Song Jianshe.

Standing on the threshold of the station, Song Jianshe's smile was one of pure schadenfreude. "Gu Jinshui, you bought a fake for six hundred yuan. You've really been fooled this time."

"Six hundred yuan? What's going on?"

Auntie Sun was washing vegetables when she heard this and quickly asked.

Song Jianshe quickly embellished the story, telling how Gu Jinshui had been scammed and spent six hundred yuan on a fake Ru Kiln. Auntie Sun immediately cried out in distress, slapping her thigh and exclaiming, "Jin Shui, you're so foolish! Six hundred yuan could have bought so many things, why that thing!"

Gu Jinshui's lips curled up as he glanced at Song Jianshe.

He laughed and said, "Song Jianshe, don't say I'm not good to you. I'll teach you a lesson today. There are generally a few types of marks on the bottom of Ru Kiln. One is Feng Hua, another is Cai, and yet another is Jia, Yi, Bing."

"Stop talking nonsense. Would a treasure like Ru Kiln use such childish marks?"

Song Jianshe retorted without even thinking.

Gu Jinshui, "That just shows your lack of education. Do you even know Qianlong is?"

Song Jianshe was stunned. "Who doesn't know that? The Emperor of the Great Qing!"

"Oh, right, it seems you do have some culture. But that's all you've got. You don't know that Emperor Qianlong was notoriously fond of making a fuss. He would stamp all kinds of paintings and calligraphy. Although porcelain can't be stamped, he had people classify it into grades A, B, and C. I was a little unsure about this piece at first, but when I saw the grade A, I knew in my heart that it was definitely a genuine piece!"

Gu Jinshui couldn't help but laugh as he spoke.

His master had told him that Ru Kiln was rare, especially Ru Kiln that had come from the palace. It would be a treasure in any museum. He had originally gone there to deal with Gu Yinxing's matter, but he hadn't expected to stumble upon such a great bargain.

Gu Jinshui was as happy as if he were drinking cool boiled water on a sweltering summer day.

Song Jianshe's face grew increasingly grim. "This... this is impossible! You must be bluffing me!"

"Fine, if you don't believe me, fine. I'm just in a good mood today, otherwise I wouldn't bother talking to you."

Gu Jinshui whistled as he entered the house.

Although Gu Yinxing was happy for her brother, she was more worried about how well she had handled her own affairs.

Gu Jinshui, "If things are settled, they will go to apologize tomorrow. You should go back to the hospital tomorrow. If Chen Shiwen dares to cause trouble again, I will deal with him."

Gu Yinxing breathed a long sigh of relief.

"Brother, thank you so much! Thanks to you for your help, otherwise I would have been suffering in silence."

"Hey, that's rare to hear you say thank you." Gu Jinshui picked up an apple from the table and took a bite. "But this wasn't just my doing; your partner helped too."

"Yan Ren?" Gu Yinxing was taken aback, her face flushing. "Why is he so meddlesome? I didn't ask him for help."

Gu Jinshui rolled her eyes at her, too lazy to pay her any attention.

After the matter was resolved, Gu Yinxing went to the hospital the next day, and soon after, Lin Fengxian and her brother came over awkwardly to apologize and offered 100 yuan as a token of their sincerity.

"I'm so sorry, I'm really so sorry. We never thought it was our child who got them mixed up. We already figured it out yesterday." Lin Fengxian apologized reluctantly, suppressing her anger.

"You're just going to send me away with a hundred yuan?"

Gu Yinxing looked at Lin Fengxian, feeling extremely angry.

If Gu Yinxing didn't know Lin Fengxian's identity, she could still hold her anger in. But knowing that she was Chen Shiwen's wife, Gu Yinxing felt disgusted no matter how she thought about it. "Your 'misunderstanding' has ruined my exam opportunity, made everyone say that I'm a murderer for money, and even suspended me from my job. Who can I complain to about this injustice!"

Gu Yinxing couldn't help but shed tears as she spoke.

The head nurse immediately said, "That's right, we don't care about the money. Our young colleague is usually very diligent and responsible in her work. Your one doubt almost caused everyone to misunderstand her."

"This, this is all our fault. We apologize to you. We're so sorry."

Lin Fengxian gritted her teeth, raised her hand, and slapped herself twice hard.

After those two slaps, his face swelled up immediately.

"Hey, what are you doing? Okay, okay, let's just forget about it since it's a misunderstanding."

The director was also furious. If it was confirmed that Gu Yinxing had given the wrong medicine, not only would Gu Yinxing be in trouble, but could they, as leaders, escape responsibility?

The director said, "You can leave now. Just make sure this kind of thing doesn't happen again."

Lin Fengxian and her brother breathed a sigh of relief, quickly put down the apology letter and the compensation money, and hurriedly left.

Gu Yinxing was still feeling wronged.

She looked at the head nurse.

The head nurse understood, coughed, and said, "Director, you see, our Yin Xing has been wronged this time and even missed her exam. This child has been very cooperative with our hospital's work throughout this whole affair, and hasn't said a word of objection. She's also agreed to a settlement. You, perhaps...?"

The director was also a little embarrassed. (This work is provided online by SiTu. com)

She flipped through the list beside her and said, "Even if I pass this qualification exam, I'll have to wait until next year."

"Ah..." Gu Yinxing suddenly raised her head. If she had to wait a year, her neck would have grown long.

"However, our hospital recently launched a residency training program in cooperation with Beijing Medical University. Students will study alongside their students, and upon graduation, they will return to the hospital. There are only two spots available."

The director was also reluctant to give up this spot, saying, "I've seen that Yin Xing works quite hard, so let's give her a spot. Prepare the materials according to this list, and she can enroll in September."

Gu Yinxing was somewhat taken aback by this unexpected windfall.

It was only after the head nurse nudged her that she realized what was happening. She took the form and quickly thanked everyone, saying, "Thank you, Director; thank you, Head Nurse; thank you so much!"

The director chuckled, "Now you're not crying anymore, are you? Don't tell anyone about this. We'll talk about it later after we've settled things."

Yes, yes.

Gu Yinxing regretted how badly she had scolded the director earlier; she suddenly realized how adorable the director was.

Good heavens, she can actually go to university!!!

Chapter 83 The Eighty-Third Day of Being Eavesdropped On

"This is great news! Your director is right, don't tell anyone else."

Upon learning that her daughter could go to university, He Chunlian was overjoyed and immediately planned to buy more pork to make twice-cooked pork tonight to celebrate.

Gu Yinxing said, "Mom, I definitely won't tell anyone. It's just that going to university will probably take four years, and there won't be any salary during those four years."

Liang Ying said, "If you don't have it, you don't have it. Our family doesn't need your salary to support us. Besides, the opportunity to go to university is rare; others dream of it. Don't be silly."

"Yes, at worst Mom will pay you out of her own pocket," He Chunlian said decisively.

Gu Yousi couldn't help but marvel at how lucky her aunt was.

This opportunity to go to university is likely to only be available in the next few years under special circumstances, and even then, it's a legitimate opportunity to obtain a degree. In a few years, once the country has enough doctors, the only way to have this opportunity again will be to compete fiercely for university admission.

Compared to this opportunity, the qualification exam is worlds apart. In the future, the educational requirements will become higher and higher. With just a qualification certificate, especially for someone who is a latecomer to the field, it will be extremely difficult to get promoted in the hospital. But it's different for someone who graduates from a regular university. Not only will the hospital value them, but they will also have better opportunities for promotion.

Gu Yinxing had always wanted to go to university, and hearing her niece's heartfelt words only strengthened her resolve. "Don't worry, I will definitely study hard. Once I graduate and am successful, I will take charge of the family."

"Is it your turn?"

Gu Jinshui flicked her head, "Don't overthink it. Focus on doing the things in front of you right now. Be careful these next two months, don't make any mistakes."

"Brother, that's definitely not possible."

Gu Yinxing covered her head and gave Gu Jinshui a disgruntled look.

If it weren't for her older brother's help this time, Gu Yinxing would definitely have snapped back. When she told Yan Ren about it, she looked Yan Ren, pointing to her forehead and saying, "Look at my head, isn't there a dent in it?"

Yan Ren handed her the soda, a smile creeping onto his lips. "It's not that dramatic. I look perfectly fine, just like before. Don't be angry anymore. This is a blessing in disguise. How about I treat you to Russian food?"

Gu Yinxing took the drink, and upon hearing this, swallowed hard. "I'm not angry, I'm just upset that he looked down on me. Can't I be in charge? When I go to university, I'll definitely work hard and achieve great success in the future, becoming a renowned doctor. Then he'll know I'm not just bragging."

Yan Ren could hardly contain his laughter.
