When good things are offered to him, Xu Xing naturally won't refuse.

He immediately thanked Wang Benquan: "Then I thank you very much for your kindness, Mr. Wang."

Wang Benquan laughed and said, "I underestimated XCMG's capabilities before. Now that I know that XCMG's repair technology is unparalleled in the modern era, I should naturally give XCMG enough respect."

I'll get things moving at the studio as quickly as possible. This month's performance bonus can be paid directly from the studio's account; I absolutely won't let you, Mr. Xu, suffer any losses.

After Xu Xing thanked him again, Wang Benquan added, "By the way, Mr. Xu, the situation at the museum is quite complicated and the interpersonal relationships are rather delicate. Once you get there, you can focus on handling one important piece that you are confident in first, and take your time with the others."

Xu Xing's heart stirred, and he understood the hidden meaning in Wang Benquan's words.

"I understand, Mr. Wang, don't worry."

After hanging up the phone, Xu Xing called Zhu Yong and Liu Jian respectively, informing them to go to the Chang'an Museum together the next day.

Both of them were very excited and readily agreed.

The next morning, Xu Xing picked up Zhu Yong and Liu Jian in his car, and the three of them went to Chang'an Museum together.

Chang'an Museum is located in the city center. It is a modern building with a grand and imposing exterior.

Xu Xing parked the car and led the two into the museum.

A middle-aged man in a white coat was already waiting at the door. Upon seeing Xu Xing, he quickly walked over to greet him.

"Mr. Xu! Hello! I'm Ma Jianguo, the head of the porcelain restoration department at the Chang'an Museum!"

Ma Jianguo warmly grasped Xu Xing's hand and shook it vigorously: "Engineer Xu, we've been waiting for you forever! We've been waiting for you for ages!"

"Section Chief Ma, you're too kind."

Xu Xing smiled. "These two are my assistants, Zhu Yong and Liu Jian."

"Welcome, welcome!"

Ma Jianguo shook hands with Zhu Yong and Liu Jian, then led the three of them inside. "Mr. Xu, let me show you the work site and equipment."

The four walked through a long corridor and arrived at a detached small building behind the museum.

"This is the dedicated work building for our porcelain restoration department."

Ma Jianguo pushed open the door and led the three inside.

The building is spacious and fully equipped, with various professional equipment that is slightly more advanced than that of the Chengxinzhai Restoration Center.

"XCMG, are you satisfied with this environment?"

Ma Jianguo asked.

"very good."

Xu Xing nodded. "Thank you for your trouble, Section Chief Ma."

"Of course, of course!"

Ma Jianguo waved his hands repeatedly, "XCMG, it's an honor for our museum to have you here!"

As the group was talking, a discordant voice suddenly came from the doorway.

"Section Chief Ma, I heard you invited Xu Xing here?"

Xu Xing turned his head and saw a middle-aged man in his fifties standing at the door, wearing a dark gray jacket, his hair neatly combed, and an arrogant expression on his face.

Ma Jianguo's expression changed slightly, but he still forced a smile and introduced, "Mr. Xu, this is Li Changming, the deputy curator of our museum."

He then said to Li Changming, "Director Li, this is Xu Xing, the master porcelain restorer from Chengxinzhai Restoration Center."

Li Changming sized Xu Xing up and down, a lukewarm smile playing on his lips: "Engineer Xu, I've heard so much about you."

Xu Xing sensed a hint of hostility in his tone, but remained outwardly composed: "Director Li, you're too kind."

Li Changming strolled in, stopped in front of Ma Jianguo, and asked with a hint of accusation, "Section Chief Ma, I heard that Engineer Xu has blacklisted all the students in Professor Lin Zhiqiang's department at Chang'an Academy of Fine Arts at Chengxinzhai?"

Ma Jianguo was taken aback, clearly not expecting Li Changming to suddenly bring up this matter.

Xu Xing raised an eyebrow. Was he standing up for Lin Zhiqiang, a participant in the tomb raiding?

"Director Li, about this matter..." Ma Jianguo tried to smooth things over.

But Li Changming didn't give him a chance. He looked directly at Xu Xing and said in an aggressive tone, "Engineer Xu, Professor Lin is the academic leader of the porcelain restoration major at Chang'an Academy of Fine Arts. He is also a very capable senior in the industry, although he has some issues with his character."

But isn't it too domineering to ban all students under a student's name just because of one student's mistake?

Xu Xing looked at him thoughtfully and then bluntly accused him: "It seems that Director Li and Lin Zhiqiang have a special relationship. Could it be that you were also involved in the tomb raiding?"

Li Changming's expression changed slightly, and he said angrily, "Don't label people so easily! I just can't stand your behavior."

"Furthermore, whether Lin Zhiqiang was actually involved in tomb raiding is still under investigation and there is no definitive conclusion yet. It is not appropriate for Mr. Xu to be so eager to label him as a criminal."

Xu Xing shrugged, looking completely indifferent: "Whether he committed a crime or not is none of my business, and what I do is none of your business either. I came to the museum at the invitation of Liu Changhe, the deputy director of the Cultural Relics Bureau. How dare a mere deputy curator like you interfere with the Cultural Relics Bureau?"

Li Changming was burning with rage and cursed under his teeth, calling himself a peasant.

Xu Xing's expression turned serious, and he shouted, "My family has been poor farmers for three generations, and I myself make a living with my skills. I am a proud member of the working class."

"You look down on workers and peasants? I will report every word you said today to the higher authorities without missing a single detail. I want to see what kind of awareness you have that makes you qualified to be the deputy curator of the Chang'an Museum!"

Li Changming immediately shut up, his face growing increasingly grim.

It's fine to say such things behind someone's back, but if he brings them up in public, he'll definitely get into trouble.

Before he could beg for mercy, Xu Xing took out his phone and dialed the mayor's hotline in Chang'an.

He knew that to deal with this kind of person, all he had to do was get leverage over them and start a fight; teammates would naturally step in to help.

Upon seeing this.

Li Changming's face turned pale instantly, and his tone softened immediately: "Engineer Xu, Engineer Xu, it's not that bad. I... I was misled and didn't understand the situation. I apologize to you, I'm sorry..."

He truly didn't expect Xu Xing to flip the table so easily, and to seize upon a loophole in one of his sentences and launch a vicious attack.

They were still using the old-fashioned fighting style, which was surprisingly invincible, and he didn't dare to take the hits.

Xu Xing didn't give him a chance to finish speaking, interrupting him directly: "Don't tell me that, go explain it to the Discipline Inspection Commission!"

Ma Jianguo, who was standing nearby, suddenly spoke up: "Director Li, I never expected you to be this kind of person. I'm ashamed to be associated with you!"

Cold sweat broke out on Li Changming's forehead. He completely ignored Ma Jianguo's meaning and continued to plead with Xu Xing.

But Xu Xing simply waved his hand to shake him off, then gave Zhu Yong and Liu Jian a wink.

The two exchanged a smile, then stepped forward to support the pleading Li Changming and pulled him away.

But he was quite strong, making it impossible for Li Changming to break free. He could only watch helplessly as Xu Xing reported the matter to the authorities.

Moreover, today happened to be the day when leaders answered the phone, so Xu Xing's call went directly to the ears of a deputy mayor. The deputy mayor cursed Li Changming for being brain-dead, but he still tried to appease Xu Xing with a very polite attitude: "Mr. Xu, we are aware of the matter you reported under your real name."

A special working group will be dispatched to the Chang'an Museum this afternoon to speak with relevant personnel and understand the situation. Please wait patiently for the investigation results.

Xu Xing politely thanked him and hung up the phone.

He then glanced at Li Changming, signaled Zhu Yong and Liu Jian to release him, and finally looked at Section Chief Ma: "Section Chief Ma, so now we..."

Ma Jianguo quickly led Xu Xing to the studio that had been specially set up for him.

As he walked, he said, "XCMG, I'm sorry to have made you laugh. This Li Changming is a good-for-nothing. He's all talk and no action, but his skills are terrible. He always acts all high and mighty. I've had my eye on him for a long time."

Xu Xing smiled and said, "Section Chief Ma, I hope this won't cause you any trouble?"

"What trouble have you gotten yourself into?"

Ma Jianguo waved his hand: "How can a deputy curator in charge of administration have authority over a technical department like ours?"

Besides, with such poor awareness, he should have been removed from the team long ago!

He then glanced around and lowered his voice, saying, "His ass wasn't clean to begin with, so he won't have a chance to cause trouble for you and me again."
