Old Harden, can you handle having your vision-shifting abilities on all the time?

Qin Ya's face instantly turned ashen.

"You! What gives you the right? What right do you have to discriminate against Professor Lin's students?"

Xu Xing ignored her and instead turned to Commissioner Liu: "See the guest out."

Commissioner Liu understood and immediately picked up the walkie-talkie: "Security, please come to repair room number 0."

Two security guards arrived in less than a minute.

The girl tried to argue, but the security guards grabbed her arms on either side and dragged her out.

"Let me go! This is discrimination! I'm going to file a complaint against you!"

Her voice echoed in the corridor, growing farther and farther away until it finally disappeared into the elevator.

Xu Xing smiled at the remaining two unsuccessful candidates and said, "You are both very talented, but you are not suitable for my working style. I wish you both the best in finding better jobs."

The two exchanged a glance, bowed slightly to Xu Xing, and left Repair Room 0 together.

Only Xu Xing, Commissioner Liu, Liu Jian, and Zhu Yong remained in the room.

Xu Xing looked at Commissioner Liu and said, "Commissioner Liu, could you please take them to complete the onboarding procedures?"

Then he said to the two of them, "You two should take two days of paid leave to take care of your personal matters and adjust your mindset."

"Wait for my notification before coming to work."

"However, let me make this clear from the start."

Xu Xing solemnly replied, "If you cannot fully dedicate yourself to your work, I can dismiss you at any time."

"clear!"

"clear!"

The two nodded quickly, their voices filled with barely concealed excitement and joy.

Xu Xing waved his hand: "Go, follow Commissioner Liu."

……

After returning, Specialist Liu reported the interview results to the HR Director according to procedure.

After listening to the report, the HR director felt that since Professor Lin Zhiqiang was involved, he dared not make a decision on his own and reported the situation to Wang Benquan.

After listening, Wang Benquan immediately retrieved the surveillance footage from repair room number 0.

After reading it, he remained silent for a moment, then said to the HR director, "Old Zhang, from now on, Lin Zhiqiang's students won't need to go through the first round of interviews."

The HR director paused for a moment, then said, "Mr. Wang, this..."

"Do as I say."

Wang Benquan sneered, "If someone like this can get into the top three, I think Lin Zhiqiang has become completely arrogant over the years. From now on, we'll accept his resume as usual, but we won't give him another chance to be interviewed."

"clear."

The HR director nodded; he understood what Wang Benquan meant.

Xu Xing is now a key figure in the porcelain group at the Chengxinzhai Restoration Center; even a fool could tell which is more important.

Moreover, Wang Benquan himself agreed with Xu Xing's judgment after reviewing the surveillance footage.

That girl's mindset and basic skills were indeed lacking. No matter how good her academic background or how great her mentor was, it couldn't change the fact that she wasn't suitable to be a restorer.

The fact that Lin Zhiqiang, as her mentor, could release such a student to embarrass himself shows that his teaching level and selection criteria are also problematic.

Since that's the case, let's just kill it outright to avoid any more trouble later.

……

Xu Xing was unaware of the subsequent actions taken by the HR department, nor was he interested in knowing.

After having a simple lunch in the cafeteria, he returned to the porcelain group to begin studying the two Grade A blue and white porcelain pieces.

Both pieces are exquisite examples of blue and white porcelain, and each has its own unique characteristics in terms of damage.

Xu Xing spent an entire afternoon conducting detailed testing and analysis on the two pieces of porcelain.

He first used a high-powered microscope to observe the microscopic morphology of the fracture surface and recorded the interlocking points and stress distribution of each fragment.

Then, an ultrasonic flaw detector was used to check the depth and bifurcation of the crease, and the optimal path for resin injection was determined.

Next, he used a 3D scanner to create a precise model of the missing part, in preparation for subsequent repair work.

Finally, he turned on his computer and compiled all the data and observations into a detailed operational procedure document.

From the first step of cleaning the fracture surface to the final step of surface polishing, every step is clearly described, including what tools to use, what materials to use, what techniques to use, and what details to pay attention to.

This document serves as a work guide for two new assistants.

It was already 5:30 pm when I finished doing all this.

Xu Xing carefully locked the two damaged items into his personal safe, then tidied up his desk and left the restoration center.

My phone rang as soon as I entered the parking lot.

"Xu Xing, are you free tonight? Let's have dinner together. There's something I want to talk to you about."

"Okay, you name the place."

Lin gave an address and Xu Xing navigated there. When he arrived, the other party was already there.

Today she was wearing a beige knit sweater paired with dark blue wide-leg pants, her hair casually draped over her shoulders, and light makeup that made her look less capable and more feminine than usual.

Several dishes, all of which Xu Xing loves, have already been laid out on the table.

Salt and pepper pork ribs, steamed shrimp with garlic and vermicelli, stir-fried seasonal vegetables, and a bowl of mushroom soup.

Xu Xing sat down opposite her and said with a smile, "Don't hold back, just tell me what you want to say."

Lin Wan served him a bowl of soup and said, "Next weekend, our Huaxia Gold Chang'an branch is organizing a team building activity. We're going to Guanshan Ranch for two days."

Xu Xing raised an eyebrow: "Hmm, so you want me to come along?"

Lin Wan nodded and said, "Yes, there's a director who was parachuted in from the branch office who's been pursuing me for a while now. I've rejected him several times, but he's still relentless. He'll definitely take this opportunity to pester me during the team building event."

"So if you're free, come with me to the team building event. You can bring your spouse to the team building event anyway. With you there, he'll know I'm taken and won't bother me anymore."

Xu Xing smiled and nodded after listening, saying, "No problem."

Lin Wan smiled slightly, picked up another piece of pork rib for him, and said, "Hehe, this is a reward for you."

Xu Xing pouted and said, "Just ribs aren't enough, tonight..."

Lin Wan patted him lightly, her chest unconsciously straightening as she said, "You men just love copying those kinds of things!"

Xu Xing shrugged and said, "Trying it won't break the law."

Lin Wan rolled her eyes at him and snorted, "Lip."

……

The next morning, Lin Wan was woken up by her alarm clock as sunlight streamed through the gaps in the curtains.

She dragged her tired but radiant body to work, while Xu Xing opened his phone to browse real estate information in Chang'an.

It's already sometime in July, and his salary for last month will be paid out next Monday.

With the more than 20 million yuan he already had, he could choose any high-end real estate in Chang'an.

Even if he can't pay the full amount for some luxury homes, he can still get a mortgage, and with his income level, repaying the loan is a piece of cake.

After browsing online, Xu Xing finally settled on a luxury residential community in the High-tech Zone that had just opened for sale last year.

This residential complex is called Yunxi Terrace. It is one of the top luxury residences in Chang'an District, located in the core area of ​​the High-tech Zone, with complete supporting facilities and convenient transportation.

The community boasts a greening rate of 45% and features amenities such as a central landscape lake, a heated swimming pool, and a fitness club.

The key point is that this community was delivered by the developer with full furnishings, and all the furniture and appliances are from top international brands, so you can move in immediately.

Xu Xing had his eye on a top-floor penthouse with a floor area of ​​over 560 square meters. It had five bedrooms, three living rooms, five bathrooms, an indoor heated swimming pool, and a huge terrace.

The unit price is 80,000, and the total price is around 45 million.

Xu Xing calculated his funds and found that a 30% down payment would require about 13.5 million yuan, and the remaining 30 million yuan would be easily covered by a ten-year mortgage.

He picked up his phone and dialed the bank's account manager.

"Manager Li, this is Xu Xing."

He had a lot of cash in his account, so the account manager was very enthusiastic.

"Hello Mr. Xu, please feel free to speak with me!"

Xu Xing said, "I want to buy an apartment in Yunxi Terrace, a penthouse plus at least three parking spaces. Could you help me contact them and see if we can negotiate the total price down?"

Manager Li said with barely concealed excitement, "Great! I'll contact the sales director right away and try my best to get you the best price!"

"This is troublesome."

"No trouble at all, Mr. Xu! Don't worry, I'll take care of this!"
