Outside the fence in the southeast corner of the Panjiayuan Fresh Goods Market, there is a nameless alley about 100 meters long, low bungalows and dilapidated bricks and tiles. In a circle of modern buildings around it, it seems to be a corner that has been forgotten by the world.

It was 7:50 in the morning, and Li Yi appeared at the entrance of the alley with a briefcase imitating cowhide.

The first store at the entrance of the alley is a narrow store that runs four treasures of the study. Before the opening time was yet to be, two dilapidated carved wooden doors were pieced together, and it seemed that they would fall to the ground with a random pull. Wouldn't this store owner be afraid of being stolen?

The second store is a bun shop. In the morning sun, the white smoke from the steamer spread about ten meters away. A few dirty and slanted dining tables were blocked by more than a dozen diners who were swallowing buns in large mouthfuls blocked the alley.

Li Yi smelled the smell of stinky ditch mixed with the fragrance of buns, frowned and avoided the sewage flowing on the ground, and walked into the alley.

The first thing that catches your eye is the two-story building with blue bricks and green tiles at the bottom of the alley. It can be seen that the building has just been painted for a while, and in this dilapidated alley, it seems to be a little disharmonious. In front of the building is a cement wall about two meters high. In the middle of the wall, two newly painted red wooden doors are particularly dazzling. On the front of the door, there is a plaque with four neat regular script characters "Treasure Appraisal Lecture Hall".

"It's here."

The clean road surface made Li Yi's steps lighter, and he didn't have to pay attention to his feet and gave him more time to look at the scenery of the alleys.

On the left is the wall of the fresh goods market, and on the right is the five or six shops with a store similar to the alley at the entrance. They have not opened yet and there is no excuse for them. Li Yi quickly walked to the door of the treasure appraisal lecture hall.

The entrance of the small building is no more than five meters away from the courtyard gate. There are three red banners hanging on it. The widest one says "CCTV Treasure Appraisal Program Special Training Center", the next one says "Yanjing Collection Association Best Training Center", and the bottom one is "Panjiayuan Market Defined Training Center".

It seems to be quite large, but the treasure appraisal program does not seem to be from CCTV? Li Yi blinked in confusion and walked into the small building.

Knocking on the first office in his left hand, he saw the contact person this time, Wang Keshou, general manager, principal, director and lecturer of the treasure appraisal lecture hall, a fat man in his forties, 1.75 meters tall and weighing more than 250 kilograms.

"Yeah, Teacher Li is here!"

The fat man looked up and down at the small eyeballs hidden behind the thick lenses. He looked up and down in front of him in a decent casual outfit, hair-breaking hair of about a tiny inch, thick black eyebrows, straight nose bridge, slightly flexible eyes under the black-framed flat glasses, and a slightly thin cheek, giving people a feeling of spirituality and ability.

The only drawback is that the sparse beard on the chin makes the whole person look how old they are older than their actual age.

"No, good, what you're talking about is a deep feeling. These glasses and beard are simply a stroke of magic. If your eyes can be more vicissitudes, it's perfect."

The fat man looked down at his watch and smiled:

"The time is right, let's go to class first and then talk back."

Li Yi followed the fat man to the second floor and walked into a classroom facing the stairs.

In the classroom, six rows of newly painted wooden tables and chairs were placed in a mess. About twenty students were divided into several small groups and chatting in a low voice, both men, women, young and old. Several aunts had the biggest voices and were particularly conspicuous.

The two students sitting at the door saw Fatty and Li Yi coming in and quickly reminded everyone to return.

The fat man walked up to the podium, coughed hard a few times, and said loudly:

"Welcome, warmly welcome the new and old students of the 198th issue of the Treasure Appraisal Lecture Hall! I am Wang Keshou. Let me introduce to you another lecturer in this issue, a master's degree in Jewelry and Jade Appreciation of the Jewelry School of the Republic of Geosciences, and a new appraiser of Yanjing Jewelry and Jade Association! Welcome everyone!"

Applause sounded, and everyone's eyes turned to Li Yi in unison.

Li Yi pulled the corner of his mouth, replied stiffly to everyone's smile and said:

"Hello everyone, I am Li Yi. The theme of this training class is the appreciation of jewelry and jade. There are 24 hours in three days and the principal Wang and I will tell you..."

The fat man waved his hand, interrupted Li Yi and said:

"Among the students this time, there are old students who have participated in many training sessions in our treasure appraisal lecture hall, and new students who have come here to see the name. The old rules, let me brag a few words before the class starts. The drug advertisement is good. If you don't look at the advertisements, you can also look at the results. We also have an advertisement, and you don't look at the charges to see the results! The treasure appraisal lecture hall can stand out among the many training classes with varying quality, relying on reputation and excellent teaching quality! The old students all know that in our more than 100 training classes in the past, almost every one of them has students successfully used the knowledge they learned in the lecture hall! Like the 37th student Li Rongfa, Mr. Li, who bought a Qianlong blue and white eight-treasure patterned lid pot worth 1.28 million yuan on the second day of graduation, and Wang Hu, a student in the 96th period...

The fat man talked endlessly for five minutes, and at least twenty examples of picking up bargains. As the fat man told him, Li Yi noticed that the students' eyes became brighter and more focused, and many people showed a look of eagerness to try.

The fat man's expression was sacred and solemn, but the words he blurted out made Li Yi almost laugh.

"Let's go with me to read the treasure appraisal lecture hall, New Oriental in the collection industry, and Lan Xiang in the cultural and entertainment industry!"

The morning lecture went smoothly, and the students' concentration and efforts even made Li Yi, who had just ended his ten-year student career, feel ashamed.

It was noon soon. After more than three hours of teaching, the students were besieged during the break, which made Li Yi, who had not been able to rest, look a little pale. He wiped the sweat from his forehead, said goodbye to the last enthusiastic aunt, and went downstairs to Wang Keshou's office.

"Principal Wang, I know that for the sake of the school, the qualifications of lecturers can be appropriately exaggerated, but..."

"Haha, nothing is wrong, I ask you, are you preparing to take the postgraduate entrance exam? Are you preparing to take the jewelry appraiser exam? That's all! With your level as Mr. Li, you are not good at it? I'm just announcing it in advance."

Li Yi grinned and hesitated:

"When I came, I saw the banner at the door. Are we really working with CCTV?"

The fat man laughed three times, then lowered his voice and said mysteriously:

"Teacher Xiao Li, as a future jewelry appraisal expert, your observation ability is not very good!"

"Um?"

"I didn't write CCTV on the banner. I wrote COTV. But after a long time, only half of the O is left. But if you look closely at the traces left by the glue, you can still tell that it is actually an O word."

"That……"

"Yanjing has a collector association, but no collector association! There are too many markets in Panjiayuan, and I didn't write it as a fresh market. What if it is a vegetable market? OK, these are common propaganda methods, and everyone knows it. Haven't you seen that even the students have never asked? Compared with the intrigues in the collection industry, this little trick is a pediatrician!"

Looking at the fat man's serious face, Li Yi, who was just starting out, couldn't resist it.

He decided to retreat first.

"Principal Wang, there are no classes in the afternoon. I want to go to the market and prepare more classes by the way. These students are so enthusiastic that they can't stand it!"

The fat man laughed a few heartily and waved his hand.
Chapter completed!
