Chapter 101 The Provincial Bureau's Invitation
For the next few days, Xu Xing spent almost all his time with Chen Xinyi.
During the day, the two would go shopping, eat out, and watch movies together, and in the evening they would return to the hotel to enjoy their time together.
Chen Xinyi temporarily handed over the management of her luxury goods recycling shop to her employees, and she simply took a long vacation, spending every day with Xu Xing.
The relationship between the two progressed rapidly in the past few days, with no more barriers between them.
Along the way, Xu Xing chatted with Li Yuting and Lin Wan several times.
Li Yuting is currently on a field trip to Huacheng with Professor Feng. In early August, the Huacheng Academy of Fine Arts will be hosting an exchange competition among eight art colleges, and as Professor Feng's last student, she will also be participating. She has also invited Xu Xing to come and visit.
Xu Xing readily agreed.
After two more days of cuddling, Chen Xinyi's period arrived.
She finally breathed a sigh of relief, lying on the bed rubbing her lower abdomen, and said weakly, "Finally, I can rest for two days. You've worn me out these past few days."
Xu Xing smiled and poured her a glass of brown sugar water: "Get some rest, I have some errands to run."
"Go away, go away, don't disturb my sleep."
Chen Xinyi turned over, wrapped herself in the blanket, and closed her eyes.
Xu Xing changed his clothes, picked up his car keys, and went out.
He called Zhang Ming: "Xiao Ming, are you free today? Let's go fishing."
"Yes, yes, yes! Where are you, bro? I'm coming right now!"
Zhang Ming's voice was filled with excitement.
Half an hour later, Zhang Ming appeared at the entrance of Yunxitai on his electric scooter.
Xu Xing drove the Yangwang U8L and took Zhang Ming to a wild pond in the suburbs of Chang'an that he often visited.
The two set up their fishing rods by the pond, sat on small stools, and chatted idly.
"Brother, how did things go when you went back to your hometown?"
Zhang Ming asked.
"It's all taken care of."
Xu Xing stared at the buoy on the water's surface, his tone calm, "Xu Yanle will never appear in Xu Family Village again."
Zhang Ming nodded and didn't ask any more questions.
Knowing Xu Xing didn't want to discuss the matter further, he changed the subject: "Brother, do you think our studio will take on more big projects in the future?"
"Definitely."
Xu Xing said, "Once the video of the restoration of that Qianlong celestial globe vase spreads among universities, our studio will become even more famous, and we will receive more and more projects."
"That's great!"
Zhang Ming said excitedly, "I'll be able to learn a lot from you then!"
"Focus on doing a good job with logistics first, and there will be plenty of opportunities later."
Xu Xing said.
As the two were chatting, Xu Xing's phone suddenly rang.
He took out his phone and saw that it was a call from Liu Changhe, deputy director of the Provincial Cultural Relics Bureau.
"Director Liu, hello." Xu Xing answered the phone.
"XCMG, did I disturb your rest?"
Liu Changhe's voice carried a hint of politeness.
"No, Director Liu, what is it you need to say?"
"That's right, our cultural relics bureau took the lead in organizing an art exchange meeting, inviting top collectors and appraisal and restoration experts from all over the country to participate and exchange experiences."
Liu Changhe explained, "The date is set for three days from now, at the Chang'an International Convention and Exhibition Center. We'd like to invite you to attend, but we're wondering if you have the time?"
Xu Xing thought for a moment, and since he didn't have any plans for three days later, he readily agreed: "No problem, Director Liu, I will definitely be there."
"Very good!"
Liu Changhe said happily, "Then I will have someone send you the invitation letter. This exchange meeting is of a very high standard, and all the top people in the country are attending. It will be a great opportunity for you to exchange ideas."
"Thank you for your kind words, Director Liu."
Xu Xing responded politely.
After hanging up the phone, Zhang Ming asked curiously, "Brother, what kind of exchange meeting?"
"An art exchange meeting was organized by the Provincial Cultural Relics Bureau, inviting collectors and experts from all over the country to participate."
Xu Xing put away his phone. "I'll go in three days and broaden my horizons."
"That must be really high-end, right?"
Zhang Ming's eyes gleamed.
"Probably."
Xu Xing refocused his attention on the fishing rod, "We'll see when the time comes."
For the next three days, Xu Xing went fishing with Zhang Ming every day.
The two sat by the pond for most of the day. Although they didn't gain much, Xu Xing thoroughly enjoyed the leisurely feeling.
Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
On the morning of the fourth day, Xu Xing changed into a well-fitting dark blue suit, and Zhu Yong drove him to the Chang'an International Convention and Exhibition Center in his Maybach S680.
The convention center is located in the heart of Chang'an city and is a modern building with a grand and imposing exterior.
Today, the entrance to the convention center was filled with all kinds of luxury cars.
Rolls-Royce, Bentley, Maybach, Porsche... the cheapest is the Mercedes-Benz S-Class.
Xu Xing's Maybach S680 was parked among them, but it wasn't particularly conspicuous.
He parked his car, took the invitation, and walked towards the entrance.
Security checks were conducted at the entrance, where several security personnel in black suits were verifying the identities of those entering.
Xu Xing handed over the invitation. After the security personnel verified that it was correct, they respectfully gestured for him to enter: "Mr. Xu, welcome to this art exchange event. Please come in."
Xu Xing nodded and stepped into the convention center.
Upon entering, the scene before him immediately caught his eye.
The first-floor lobby of the convention center has been transformed into a huge exhibition space.
The floor was covered with a deep red carpet, a crystal chandelier hung from the ceiling, and the walls were covered with various calligraphy and paintings.
In the center of the hall, dozens of glass display cases are set up, displaying various antique treasures.
There are porcelain, jade, bronze, gold and silver ware, miscellaneous items... a dazzling array, everything you could want.
Next to each exhibit stands an exquisite information plaque, indicating the name, era, provenance, and market value of the item.
Xu Xing glanced at the exhibits and found that they were all quite valuable, with the lowest being over a million and the highest being over a hundred million.
"As expected of a top-tier national art exchange event, it is truly extraordinary."
Xu Xing sighed inwardly.
He walked slowly along the display cases, his gaze sweeping over each exquisite item.
His gaze stopped in front of a display case.
The display case shows a Qing Dynasty Qianlong period famille rose openwork revolving vase.
This porcelain piece is exquisitely shaped and intricately crafted. The bottle is divided into two layers: the outer layer is openwork, and the inner layer can rotate. It is decorated with beautiful floral patterns.
Xu Xing has been working in porcelain restoration for so many years, and this is the first time he has seen an actual piece.
He bent down and carefully examined the revolving vase, marveling at the exquisite craftsmanship of the ancients.
"XCMG?"
A familiar voice came from behind.
Xu Xing turned around and saw Zhou Zhihai standing not far away, wearing a dark gray Zhongshan suit with a surprised smile on his face.
"Mr. Zhou? You've come too?"
Xu Xing was also somewhat surprised.
"Haha, how could I possibly miss an exchange meeting of this caliber?"
Zhou Zhihai strode over and warmly shook Xu Xing's hand. "Engineer Xu, I've sent the video of that Qianlong celestial globe vase to several universities, and the response has been excellent. Several schools' cultural relic restoration programs have expressed their desire to invite you to give lectures!"
"You flatter me, Professor Zhou. I am not qualified to give lectures at universities."
Xu Xing said modestly.
"Why aren't you qualified?"
Zhou Zhihai said seriously, "Your restoration skills are among the best in the country. It's a blessing for university students to have the opportunity to hear a lecture from you!"
