The Real Heiress Has an Appraisal System

"This plot of land also happens to have been purchased by Miss Gu. Thankfully, she was extra vigilant. Don’t misunderstand the situation. When you get back to your unit, issue a certificate of commendation to Miss Gu and these two workers for discovering an ancient tomb and turning over cultural relics to the state. Also, prepare a 500-yuan reward."

Hearing this, Gu Shengsheng finally let out a sigh of relief.

But one of the construction workers muttered, "If we sold this secretly, we could probably make a fortune. We only get a 500-yuan reward for turning it in."

"..." Gu Shengsheng shot him a glare.

’Be content with what you get!’

’Getting a 500-yuan reward is already pretty good. The important thing is not to end up in jail singing the blues.’

Seeing that Gu Shengsheng did indeed know Zhao Dehai and that everything was being handled by the book, the supervision team really had nothing more to say.

As long as everything followed procedure, there was nothing else to it.

At that moment, Zhao Dehai had already led the team of university professors over to the pit.

One of them, Wang Qing, an archaeology professor from Qing University, was frowning as he dug into the pit with a pickaxe.

Then he looked at the supervision team leader and said, "Comrade, is everything settled here?"

"Hello, Professor Wang Qing." The team leader said respectfully. "When I was a student, you taught one of my required courses."

"I remember. You often skipped class," he chuckled, his hands clasped behind his back.

The supervision team leader rubbed his head, looking a bit embarrassed.

"Today was just a misunderstanding. I wasn’t aware of the situation."

Wang Qing nodded. "It’s fine, it’s fine. It’s normal for young people to be a bit rash. Miss Gu is quite a remarkable person! Her talent and luck are both off the charts. At the very least, her skill level is far beyond what mine was when I was young."

"It’s not just you. Our students at Qing University should also learn from her!"

Gu Shengsheng quickly waved her hands. "No, no, no, I’m not much of a scholar."

She had graduated from an ordinary university, not a top-tier institution like this. Besides, Gu Shengsheng’s English was terrible—so bad that she wished all foreigners would just disappear.

Looking at these professors, she felt like she was staring at walking dissertations.

’It was giving me a bit of a headache.’

After the professor left, the team leader looked at Gu Shengsheng, still looking a little unconvinced.

Despite his defiant attitude, he remained professional. "Miss Gu, I apologize for the trouble. If you discover any more ancient tombs in the future, you can report it to us."

"Follow the official procedure. Everyone on our side is worthy of your trust."

"..." Gu Shengsheng didn’t say anything. ’Not all personnel are worthy of trust, that’s for sure.’

’This wasn’t some ordinary object; it was a *ding*. If someone with greedy intentions got their hands on it, it would never get reported.’

’The item would be snatched, and she, the scapegoat, would have to bear the consequences. Having lived in another parallel universe for so many years and appraised antiques for just as long, what kind of person hadn’t she seen?’

So, she didn’t agree to his proposal.

Seeing Gu Shengsheng’s silence, the team leader didn’t press the matter and simply left with his team.

Gu Shengsheng returned to the partially excavated pit.

Zhao Dehai’s assistant went to get an excavator, while the professors began studying the *ding*, each of them affirming its immense research value.

Gu Shengsheng took out her phone, intending to check the time.

She noticed her phone was hot. It had been running the whole time. ’Wait, why is my livestream still on...?’

She had completely forgotten about it, tucked away in her pocket.

When she pulled it out, bullet comments from viewers flooded the screen:

"Streamer, are you okay? You scared me to death just now. I heard them say you were about to be put in handcuffs! And you had a gun pointed at your carotid artery, right?"

"Streamer, you’re insane! We were getting dizzy bouncing around in your pocket, and we could only hear voices, not see anything."

"The streamer’s connections are already top-tier. Turning a bad situation around is just normal for her. But how do you manage to find an ancient tomb just by buying land to build a house? I’m impressed."

"Her luck is really something else."

"..."

Gu Shengsheng explained, "The experts are all here looking at the tomb site now, conducting their research and preparing for transport. I don’t think you’ll be able to watch..."

As soon as she said that, Zhao Dehai laughed. "It’s fine, Shengsheng. Keep the stream on!"

"This is a great opportunity to bring some attention to the fields of archaeology, antiques, and geology. These are unpopular majors at the university; no one wants to enroll."

"Now you have the perfect chance to show everyone how interesting this discipline can be."

"Alright, then."

With that, Gu Shengsheng became a human tripod for her phone.

Just then, Zhao Dehai’s assistant walked over, frowning. "Miss Gu, there’s something I may need to discuss with you."

"Go ahead, I’m listening," she said.

"You probably won’t be able to keep this plot of land. I know you only bought it yesterday, but according to regulations, when an ancient tomb is discovered, the land must be expropriated by the state."

Gu Shengsheng lowered her gaze. "I know the regulations. Including the adjacent plot where I dug up the treasure, I spent twenty million on all the land. Will I be compensated with money, or will I be given a new plot of land?"

She sounded a little hopeful by the end.

The assistant smiled. "I was just negotiating this very matter."

"I think you’ll be pleased with the outcome."

"..." Gu Shengsheng’s interest was piqued. "Don’t keep me in suspense. Tell me."

"Losing this land might not be a bad thing for you, Miss Gu. Over in the Yuh River Ruins Protection Area, a resident has vacated and moved out. As it happens, one household just left."

"The *siheyuan* is still there, but you’ll need to renovate and fix it up. You could even expand it a bit. Once you move in, the renovations should only take two or three months to complete."

The viewers:

"Holy shit! The Yuh River Ruins Protection Area! That’s where Father Ma lives! And Xu Jiashu is there too?"

"No way, Sister Gu. How many business tycoons have failed to squeeze into a location like that?! For most, it’s the stuff of legend. How did you just get to move in? This kind of support system is too good."

"I heard the feng shui of every building in there is incredible. And they cover several thousand square meters. I heard they’re worth hundreds of millions!"

"Sister Gu makes a lot of money, but probably not *that* much yet. For a place of top-tier tycoons like that, only a few businesses like the He Family and the former Lu Family could barely get in, and even they lacked the connections. The current Lu Family and Yang Family can’t even get a foot in the door. Very few people from the business world can enter."

"..."

Gu Shengsheng had obviously considered this issue as well. You couldn’t buy a *siheyuan* like that with money alone; you needed connections.

Getting this opportunity was a massive stroke of luck; it even felt too extravagant for her.

She asked, "I probably can’t afford a place like that. I’m guessing I’ll have to pay a lot of extra money, right?"

Zhao Dehai’s assistant smiled and said, "Miss Gu, we feel very apologetic for having to take your land. Because of that, the higher-ups just discussed it. They said that if you can offer two hundred million, you won’t need to pay it all at once, and the place will be yours."

That price was already excellent, and besides, she was an antiques appraiser.

The place had good security, it would be convenient for storing cultural relics, and it was spacious enough to build a workshop.
