The items Chairman He brought out this time were indeed real, but at the same time, not quite.
It was real in that it was still a diamond star brooch, truly made of diamonds. But it wasn't the same as the original one worn by the royal family.
So... it was a ploy.
Unsurprisingly, every item that followed presented a similar situation. They looked like the real deal but were actually high-quality replicas.
Of course, mixed in were a few unassuming items that looked like fakes, but were, in fact, genuine.
Gu Shengsheng now understood exactly what was going on.
The earlier fiasco, that blatant scam, wasn't Chairman He trying to destroy his own reputation. It was all to lay the groundwork for what was happening now.
All the antiques in the last round had been problematic. Now, Chairman He had personally apologized, offered an explanation, and even brought items from his family's private collection.
