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

Two o'clock in the afternoon.

The disciplinary committee's car stopped in front of the museum.

Several men in dark suits got out of the car and headed straight for the office building. Li Changming was brought out in less than half an hour.

His face was ashen and his steps were unsteady; he was no longer the arrogant man he had been that morning.

The news quickly spread throughout the entire museum.

"Have you heard? Li Changming has been taken away by the Discipline Inspection Commission!"

"Really? What happened?"

"I heard that he had a conflict with the new XCMG engineer this morning, and XCMG reported it to higher-ups."

"Wow, that's incredible! He took down the deputy curator on his very first day?"

"Who says otherwise! I heard XCMG even called the mayor's hotline and went straight to the deputy mayor!"

"Wow, XCMG's backing is pretty strong!"

The disciplinary committee members did not leave immediately, but instead found Xu Xing, Ma Jianguo, Zhu Yong, and Liu Jian separately to learn in detail about what had happened that morning.

Xu Xing gave a truthful account without any concealment.

After the disciplinary committee members finished taking notes, they politely thanked him: "Mr. Xu, thank you for your cooperation. We will handle this matter seriously and give you an explanation."

"Thank you all for your help."

Xu Xing responded politely.

After the disciplinary committee members left, the way the porcelain restorers looked at Xu Xing completely changed.

Those who previously thought he was too high-profile and arrogant now only feel admiration for him.

Can someone who can take down the deputy director be an ordinary person?

Moreover, Li Changming had been bullying everyone in the academy for so many years that he had long lost the support of the people. Xu Xing's move was essentially a way of venting everyone's anger.

"XCMG, you are truly amazing!"

"Mr. Xu, please don't hesitate to ask for help if you need anything in the future!"

"Mr. Xu, if you need any assistance with that celestial globe vase, I'm always happy to lend a hand!"

Everyone took the initiative to greet Xu Xing, their attitude incredibly enthusiastic.

Xu Xing responded to each question with humility and without any airs.

This made those who initially harbored some resentment towards him completely dispel their displeasure.

For the next three days, Xu Xing, along with Zhu Yong and Liu Jian, devoted themselves wholeheartedly to the restoration of the Yongzheng celadon celestial globe vase.

He was very familiar with the restoration of Yongzheng celadon porcelain, and it was not difficult for him at all. He could easily complete the task by following the steps.

Three days later, the museum's internal evaluation team conducted a comprehensive examination of the celestial globe vase.

The final result of the restoration of this celestial globe vase fully complies with the first-level compliance standard of the national "Administrative Measures for the Restoration Qualification of Movable Cultural Relics", and even slightly exceeds it in some indicators.

The entire porcelain restoration department was in an uproar when the assessment results were released.

"Holy crap! It only took three days!"

"And it's Level 1 compliance! That's incredible!"

"No wonder they dared to choose a damaged item originally worth tens of millions right off the bat; they're truly skilled!"

Those who had previously had some reservations about Xu Xing were now completely convinced.

Even Chen Jingchuan personally visited Xu Xing's studio.

XCMG.

Chen Jingchuan stood at the door, looking at the pristine celestial sphere bottle on the worktable, and remained silent for a long time before slowly speaking: "The younger generation is truly formidable."

Xu Xing quickly stood up: "Master Chen, you flatter me."

"It's not an overstatement, it's the truth."

Chen Jingchuan walked in, circled the worktable, and lingered on the celestial globe vase. "I've been in this business for forty years and have seen many restoration cases of Yongzheng celadon glaze, but you are definitely the first to restore it to this extent in three days."

He looked up at Xu Xing, his eyes filled with sincere admiration: "Engineer Xu, let's exchange ideas more often in the future. Although this old body of mine is no longer useful, I still have some experience from my decades of experience."

"Master Chen, you are too modest."

Xu Xing quickly replied, "You are my senior, and I should learn more from you."

Chen Jingchuan waved his hand and laughed, "Let's stop flattering each other and exchange contact information first."

After exchanging contact information, the two smiled at each other, clearly indicating that they were on equal footing.

This scene, witnessed by the other restorers, only increased their admiration for Xu Xing.

Even a senior figure like Chen Jingchuan is taking the initiative to show goodwill, so XCMG's level must be absolutely top-notch.

After finishing this restoration work, Xu Xing did not rush to take on the next project. Instead, he took Zhu Yong and Liu Jian to that familiar hot spring bath center again.

After taking a bath, the three of them went for a massage.

The technician was skilled, massaging Zhu Yong and Liu Jian until they groaned.

Xu Xing, lying on the massage bed, suddenly asked, "By the way, are you two free this weekend?"

Zhu Yong looked up: "What's up, Mr. Xu?"

"I'm going back to Jingyang County this weekend to attend a relative's daughter's wedding."

Xu Xingdao said, "I'd like to find someone to help me drive."

Zhu Yong and Liu Jian exchanged a glance and nodded simultaneously: "We have time!"

Xu Xing thought for a moment and then said, "How about this, Liu Jian, you come with me to pick up the car tomorrow, and Zhu Yong, you drive me back to Jingyang County this weekend."

He paused for a moment and then explained, "Liu Jian, you have a wife and children at home, so you should stay home and spend time with them on weekends. Zhu Yong, you're single, so you'd like to have more free time on weekends. I'll trouble you to make this trip."

Zhu Yong grinned: "No problem! Mr. Xu, don't worry, I guarantee I'll drive the car very smoothly!"

Liu Jian nodded: "Mr. Xu, I'll go with you to pick up the car tomorrow."

"it is good."

Xu Xing took out his phone and transferred 10,000 yuan to each of them. "This is for your trouble, please accept it."

"XCMG, this is too much..."

"Take it."

Xu Xing's tone left no room for refusal: "Working with me won't let you suffer."

The two exchanged a glance and accepted the transfer without further hesitation.

It was already past nine o'clock at night when I came out of the bathhouse.

Xu Xing drove back to Yunxi Terrace, took a shower, and then picked up his phone to call Lin Wan.

The phone rang several times before being answered. Lin Wan's voice sounded tired: "Hello, Xu Xing?"

"Wanwan, are you free this weekend?"

Xu Xing asked, "I need to go back to Jingyang County to attend a relative's daughter's wedding, and I'd like you to come with me."

There was a few seconds of silence on the other end of the phone, followed by Lin Wan's apologetic voice: "Xu Xing, it's really unfortunate that I have to go to headquarters for training this weekend, I really can't find the time, I'm so sorry..."

"It's alright, work comes first."

Xu Xing said gently, "You go about your business, but take care of yourself and don't overwork yourself."

"Okay, take care of yourself too."

Lin Wan's voice was filled with guilt, "When I come back, I will definitely make it up to you."

"Okay, I'll wait."

After hanging up the phone, Xu Xing's face remained expressionless.

He had anticipated this outcome.

Lin Wan was too career-oriented; working overtime on weekends was commonplace for her. He didn't mind and immediately called Chen Xinyi.

The call was answered almost instantly.

"Feed? Xu Xing?"

Chen Xinyi's voice carried a hint of surprise, "Calling me so late, did you miss me?"

"miss you."

Xu Xing smiled. "Are you free this weekend?"

"Yes, what's wrong?"

"I need to go back to Jingyang County to attend a relative's daughter's wedding, and I'd like you to come with me."

"Back to Jingyang County?"

Chen Xinyi paused for a moment, then asked with a hint of teasing, "Are you taking me to meet your parents?"

"There are quite a few parents who don't have any relatives."

Xu Xing laughed and said, "What, you're afraid to go?"

"Tch, what's there to be afraid of!"

Chen Xinyi snorted, "Fine, I'll go! I've been wanting to see what your hometown is like!"

"It's settled then, I'll pick you up Saturday morning."

"Okay, I'll wait for you."

After hanging up the phone, Xu Xing's lips curled up slightly.

The next morning, Xu Xing drove the Yangwang U8L, picked up Liu Jian, and headed straight to the Mercedes-Benz 4S store.

The Maybach S680 he had ordered arrived at the dealership a few days ago, and the license plate has already been registered.

The license plate ending in 6666 was obtained through a special channel at a 4S dealership by paying an extra 400,000 yuan.

Liu Jian's eyes widened when the black Maybach S680 slowly drove out of the showroom.

"XCMG, this truck is so impressive!"

Xu Xing smiled, took the keys from the salesperson, and sat in the driver's seat to experience it.

The interior features light brown Nappa leather, with warm and jade-like wood trim and soft, comfortable ambient lighting, giving the whole car an understated yet luxurious feel.

"Nice car."

Xu Xing nodded in satisfaction.

He got out of the car and handed the keys to Liu Jian: "You drive it back to the garage for me."

Liu Jian took the keys, his hands trembling with excitement: "Mr. Xu, don't worry, I'll drive it very smoothly!"

Xu Xing drove the Yangwang U8L ahead to lead the way, while Liu Jian followed behind in his Maybach.

The two cars, one after the other, drove out of the 4S store and merged into the traffic.

Back in the garage of Yunxi Terrace, Liu Jian carefully parked the Maybach, then got out and circled the car several times, his face full of envy.

"XCMG, this car is amazing! I hope I can afford one someday."

"Work hard, and things will get better in the future."

Xu Xing patted him on the shoulder, "Let's go, I'll treat you to lunch."

The two found a nice restaurant nearby and had a hearty lunch.

During the meal, Liu Jian couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Xu, why didn't you drive back to Jingyang County for the wedding yourself? Why did you have Zhu Yong drive you?"

Xu Xing smiled and explained, "I'm going to drink when I get back, and I can't drive after drinking. Let Zhu Yong drive so I can rest in the back seat."

Liu Jian suddenly realized and gave a thumbs up: "XCMG has considered everything carefully."

In reality, he went back this time simply to show off. The fact that he had severed ties with his relatives in anger when his grandson took his mother's surname had made him look very embarrassed in his circle of relatives.

Now that more than a month has passed, I have to go back and set the record straight.
