The Tang and Song Dynasty porcelain exhibition with the theme of "Great Power and Heavy Weapons" is the most important special exhibition held by the Shangmei Museum this autumn, not only with the green glaze, yellow and blue color paste, toad pattern three-legged furnace, Cizhou kiln white ground and black flower "Feng Yi slashing demons" text pattern pillow and other precious antiques, but also specially borrowed from the Ueno Museum in Tokyo to borrow the Southern Song Dynasty official kiln boy play bottle from other countries for many years to meet the Chinese audience. ”

According to people familiar with the matter, this rare famous artifact in the world has cracks in the bottle after arriving at the Chaumet Museum, and the damage is quite serious, and it is unknown whether it can be repaired and participated in the exhibition. ”

Click!

The TV screen went black, and the hostess's pretty face that forcibly suppressed the smile disappeared in everyone's eyes.

"We've already blocked the news, but who leaked it? Who is the person in the know? I'll arrange for someone to investigate. Chen Tao, director of the security department of the Shangmei Museum, jumped like thunder, pushed away the chair and was about to stand up and grab people.

"There are no impermeable walls in the world, and it was normal for someone to talk a lot about it when there were so many staff members present when they received antiques. Tokyo already knows about this, right? We'll have to explain it to someone. Liu Kaide, the deputy director of the museum, stroked his hair, which was not thick, and asked, "Why is it cracked? Can there be a conclusion now? Someone must stand up and take responsibility for this matter." ”

Liu Kaide is not only the deputy director of Shangbo, but also one of the founding shareholders of Shangmei Group, and he said that he should find someone to take responsibility, which still carries a lot of weight.

"The goods were first transported by air and then by land, and they were inspected by customs...... It may be that there was a violent bump in the middle of the road, although our transportation personnel strictly followed the national treasure antique reception and resettlement plan for protection, but I did not expect such a serious problem to still occur. The young face who was in charge of the reception and transportation work frowned slightly, and his eyes were full of worry.

It was a Southern Song Dynasty boy playing with water bottle, known as the "aristocracy of porcelain", which was borrowed from the Ueno Museum in Tokyo. If the other side really claims it, even if she frying her in frying oil, she can't afford to pay a fraction.

What's worse is that the Tokyo side will definitely be more serious and will definitely ask Shang Bo for compensation.

What's more, this piece of porcelain is priceless. I don't know how much to lose if I lose money.

Tong Yan wants to die.

I am considered an "old man" in the industry, and I have taken over several heavy weapons, but it is the first time I have encountered such a thing.

"I said at the time, it's good that we Shangmei Group will have our own exhibits in this exhibition, and there is no need to go to other museums to borrow collections...... You see, they all borrowed to RB, and now something is wrong, right?" said another shareholder in a caustic tone.

"There is no hair on the mouth, and the work is not firm, young man, I want to make a big incident. The big event didn't happen, but now it's a big news. ”

"Now that it's happened, let's talk about the solution. Liu Kaide tapped the table with his finger bones and motioned for everyone to be quiet. She is the person in charge of this special exhibition, and she also borrowed the children's water bottle from the Ueno Museum in Tokyo. Now that there's an accident, she's always going to -----."

Syllable!

The door to the conference room was pushed open by gravity.

Lin Chu, who was dressed in white and walking in a black skirt, strode in, his voice was hurried and fast, like a bullet: "First, the incident has been known to the public, and it is unfavorable to conceal it, I have notified the public relations department to send a message to confirm the damage to the boy's water bottle." ”

"Second, I have communicated with the director Yamada in Tokyo, persuaded them to give me half a month to restore it, and promised them that they would return the water bottle after the exhibition was over, and if it could not be repaired perfectly, we would compensate for the antiques of the same value according to the market price. The company has invested a huge amount of insurance in the children's water bottle, and this money does not even have to be borne by us Shangmei. ”

"Thirdly, we now need to find a master restorer who can help us repair the water bottle in half a month, so that it can be exhibited and returned on time...... Who else needs to add?"

For a moment, the entire conference room fell silent.

I don't know if I was oppressed by Lin Chuyi's momentum, or I was shocked by her all-round treatment.

Everyone is still complaining and condemning here and preparing to find someone to take responsibility, she has already communicated with the Tokyo side within half an hour after the incident, and persuaded them to accept her side of the aftermath plan?

"That curator Yamada who ----- the Ueno Pavilion really agreed to our side to repair it?" Liu Dekai stroked his hair more urgently, with an incredible look. This cracked is a child's water bottle, which is regarded as a treasure by Tokyo, how can it be so easy to be persuaded by this little girl?

"What??Does Deputy Director Liu have a better solution?Or are you skeptical of what I said?" Lin Chuyi's beautiful eyes shifted to Liu Dekai, with a faint smile on his face.

"Not really. It happened too quickly, and it didn't give everyone much time to react and discuss. Liu Dekai was stared at by that mocking look, and he felt a little uncomfortable.

Although she is Lin Chuyi's elder, this little girl has been a maverick since she was a child, and she really doesn't take them as old people seriously.

"Even if Tokyo agrees that we will have Naomi do the restoration, it will only have to be done if we can repair it. ”

"That is, only half a month. This is a boy playing water bottle in the Southern Song Dynasty, if something goes wrong, wouldn't it be more difficult to explain it to the Tokyo Pavilion?"

"Unless you find the legendary "Jiang Ghost Hand". ”

"Jiang Ghost Hand?" Lin Chu's eyes were shining, and he said in a firm voice: "Let's look for Jiang Ghost Hand." ”

Liu Kaide really didn't like Lin Chuyi's radiant appearance, as if they were the ones who made the mistake.

"Jiang Ghost Hand is dead. Liu Kaide said in a humming voice, so that he didn't seem to have the meaning of gloating, and his voice was extremely powerful, real and reliable. "I've been dead for years. ”

For the first time, everyone saw the look of surprise on the face of the beautiful and resolute girl, which made many people feel comfortable, as if they had pulled out the spikes of this rose all at once.

Lin Chuyi's expression was slightly stiff, and he smiled as much as he did in an instant, glanced at the audience, and said proudly: "Ghost Jiang's hand is dead, and there are Ghost Li's hands and Chen's ghost hands." People are dead, but the craftsmanship is still there, and I will be able to find the best restoration. ”

Lin Chuyi waved his hand in a dashing and capable manner, as if he was saying goodbye to these people in the conference room: "I know you have more important things to discuss, if you happen to accidentally discuss the question of who is responsible for this matter------- I will recommend myself, and ask all uncles and uncles to vote for me." Thank you. ”

Boom!

The sound of heels tapping on the floor was far away, and each time it seemed like stepping on their angry old faces.

"Manager, it's my responsibility. Tong Yan stood in front of Lin Chuyi's office desk and apologized with a guilty face. "Because of my negligence, I caused you so much trouble. I know how much effort you put into this special exhibition, and you asked the Tokyo Pavilion to borrow a children's water bottle to systematically and comprehensively display our achievements in porcelain in the Southern Song Dynasty. I didn't expect to be messed up by me. ”

"Let's not talk about that. Lin Chuyi was digging through the drawer for a business card holder. "I have some porcelain restoration masters who have worked with me before, and I want to contact them one by one, and you can recommend suitable people on your side. We worked together to find people within three days and bring them to the blue sea to start the restoration work. Time waits for no one, put away your apologies and tears first, and I'll give you half an hour to do this when it's over. ”

"Okay, manager. Tong Yan wiped his moist eyes with the back of his hand, and immediately wanted to come forward to help.

"If the makeup is spent, go to touch up the makeup first. Lin Chu said without raising his head. "Remember, a woman must do two things at all times and on any occasion: she must not be blind and her makeup must not be spent. ”

Makeup can't be spent, eyes can't be blind. This is the life principle that Lin Chuyi has always adhered to and fulfilled.

Makeup affects a while, and blindness affects a lifetime.

"Yes, manager. Tong Yan hurriedly ran out.

"Manager. The office door was pushed open, and the secretary Xiaohe pushed the door in. "Someone wants to visit you. ”

"Not available. Lin Chuyi took out his business card, his fingers quickly entered the numbers on the screen, but in his mind, he was recalling the appearance and personality of the owner of the business card and the contact process, so he pressed the dial button.

"He said he could fix the boy play bottle. Xiaohe said.

Lin Chu swiped his finger and ended the call.

"Huh?" Lin Chuyi finally raised his head, looked at Xiaohe and asked, "What person? What background?"

He didn't say anything, but gave him a business card. Xiaohe handed over the business card with both hands.

An ordinary small white card with only one name and a mobile phone number on it.

No title, no position. Simple and elegant, you can't see anything.

"It can't be a liar, right? Let him. As soon as Lin Chuyi threw away the business card in his hand, he was ready to continue making calls. At this time, she really didn't have the time to pay attention to those "villains" who wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to make a fortune.

"Manager, he said if you think he's a liar, take a look at this little piece. As Xiaohe spoke, he put a small porcelain figure held in the palm of his hand on Lin Chuyi's desk.

"Exquisite porcelain?" Lin Chuyi carefully held the little porcelain figure in the palm of his hand, and after carefully observing it, he shouted excitedly: "This is a broken handle, but it has been artificially repaired-----"

Linglong porcelain belongs to a kind of porcelain with openwork. Xu Zhiheng has recorded this in "Drinking Liuzhai Saying Porcelain": plain porcelain is very thin, and those who are carved and reflect the cyan are called shadow blue carving flowers, and those who are penetrated on both sides are called exquisite porcelain.

The production method is to first carve a millet hole according to the pattern design on the green blank, so that the two walls are penetrated, like a small window. Then paste a special transparent glaze, just like the window paste paper, and then glaze the whole body, after roasting, the engraving is clear and transparent, but not leaky.

It is delicate and cumbersome, and it is difficult to fire. If you want to repair the broken exquisite porcelain without a trace, you can only succeed if you have the ability to do it.

Lin Chuyi pushed away the chair and stood up, and said, "Invite him in." ”

"Okay, manager. ”

"Forget it, I'll go and ask for it myself. Lin Chuyi said. In the face of such a master restorer, she has always maintained respect and impeccable etiquette.

"Okay, manager. ”

Lin Chuyi pushed away the chair and stood up, and asked, "How old are men and women?"

"Man. Looks young, looks like a teenager, less than thirty. ”

Lin Chuyi sat down again and said, "You go and please." ”

The elderly are more cherished of their own faces, while the younger people prefer the colors of others.

Lin Chuyi understands others and understands himself better.

She knew she was beautiful!

"Okay, manager. ”

When Xiaohe went out, Lin Chuyi quickly took out a small makeup bag from the big bag. First sprinkled powder on the face to make the already delicate face even more pink. Because I talked too much, I drank a sip just now, and the color of my lipstick had darkened, and I carefully applied it to the mirror.

After finishing the makeup, Lin Chuyi pouted in the mirror: "Perfect." ”

Then, he picked up the business card on the table: "Jiang Lai." ”

"Jiang Lai, another surnamed Jiang. ”

Knock knock!

There was a knock on the office door again, and Xiaohe pushed the door and stood at the door, his cheeks flushed, as if he was a blind date who met a male god in middle school, and said, "Manager, Mr. Jiang is here." ”

Xiaohe stepped aside, and a tall figure appeared.

Lin Chuyi, who was just about to get up to greet him, squinted his eyes, and his movements had a mechanical pause.

The moment I saw him, it was as if I saw a light.

This is not the scorching summer sun that burns the skin and makes people irritable, nor is it the winter halo that disappears when you are not careful, it is the bright spring light of bees buzzing, butterflies flying and flowers blooming, children running and rolling in the green grass, laughter and laughter falling all over the stream.

Clean and delicate.

The hair is soft and the figure is tall. Wearing the most simple white shirt and the most ordinary sky blue jeans, the white shirt tucked into the pants, perfectly outlining his hard chest muscles and delicate waistline.

What a ----- good-looking man!

Lin Chuyi felt his heart "pop", as if the ice had been disintegrated and melted.

"Luckily, I touched up my makeup. This was the first sentence that Lin Chuyi thought of after he woke up.

"Mr. Jiang Lai?" Lin Chuyi's face was full of smiles, and he took the initiative to take a few steps forward to greet him, and stretched out his hand to shake hands with the guests.

"I'm Jiang Lai. Jiang Lai stretched out his hand and shook Lin Chuyi's hand, and he let it go as soon as he touched it, as if there was some mold and insect on Lin Chuyi's hand.

Lin Chuyi didn't care, but stared at Jiang Lai's hand with interest, and the smile on his face became even more intense and cute.

The palm of the hand is slender, and the knuckles are slender and strong. When shaking hands, people can clearly feel the flesh calluses of his palms, rough and itchy, which is the sequelae left by the long-term use of the repair knife to fiddle with the color paint of those bottles and cans.

Every master restorer has a pair of skillful hands.

"This," Lin Chu raised the exquisite porcelain in his hand and asked, "You repaired it?"

"Not bad. ”

"I see that there are still some blemishes in the earlobes of the delicate villain------"

"I deliberately kept it. ”

"Why?"

"Otherwise......" The man's sword eyebrows raised slightly, and he said coldly, "I'm afraid you won't be able to see that it's broken." ”

"--------" Lin Chuyi had a feeling of tightness in his chest.

Who does he think he is? I Lin Chuyi has been in the antique world for many years, I began to tinker with the pots and pans at home at the age of three, began to learn antique knowledge with my father at the age of six, began to recognize the authenticity at the age of ten, and at the age of sixteen I had already imitated the first Qing Kangxi Panlong jar ornament-----

You say I can't see it?

"What happened to Shang Bo, Mr. Jiang must already know. ”

"The whole world knows it. ”

“--------”

Lin Chuyi looked at the man in front of him thoughtfully, thinking, isn't he an idiot? Otherwise, how can he speak like a knife?

What a pity!

"Can Mr. Jiang repair my boy water bottle?"

"That's what happened. ”

"Mr. Jiang---- looks very young. Do you have a teacher?"

"Yes. ”

"Dare to ask which restoration master it is?" Lin Chuyi asked with a smile, there are hundreds of acrobatics, and there are many inheritances. There are many older craftsmen who still like to "hide their secrets", and the core skills are only taught to their children or apprentices. If the children are not good and the disciples are not visible, that skill will disappear in the long river of history, which is embarrassing.

Jiang Lai thought for a while and said, "I don't want to tell you." ”

“......”

"Well, I know that everyone has their own habits of conduct and unspeakable secrets. The more talented a person is, the more maverick he is, and it is difficult to judge him by ordinary people's standards. Lin Chu nodded, she had gradually adapted to the rhythm of such a conversation. Although every time I hear his stiff answer, I have an urge to beat him up. Did I provoke you?

"You're right. Jiang said.

“......”

took a deep breath, stroked his short ear-length hair, and forcibly suppressed the anger that kept gushing in his heart.

"Because this matter is not trivial, and the water bottle is very important to us Shang Bo and to me personally, I have to confirm with Mr. Jiang Lai again----- can you really restore it to its original state?"

"I can repair the exquisite porcelain with more exquisite workmanship, and I can naturally repair such a big boy playing water bottle. Jiang Lai's face softened a little and said, "However, it is impossible to recover as before." When something is broken, it is broken, and no matter how good the craftsmanship is, it can repair the appearance, but it can't repair the fact that it has cracked. It's hard to break the mirror, I hope you can understand this truth. ”

"I understand. As long as it can be perfectly restored. Lin Chu nodded again and again and said, "What conditions does Mr. Jiang have?"

"Ask for money. ”

"I know that. As long as Mr. Jiang can repair my children's water bottle, we will naturally give a good reward for repairing. ”

"I don't want to be paid well. ”

"What do you mean?"

"I want seventeen thousand. No more than one point, not one point less. Jiang Lai's expression was cold, and he said in a firm voice: "Moreover, I want to take the money first." ”

Lin Chuyi's brain was down for a moment.

She went around in circles in museums and auction houses when she was a child, who has not seen anyone or anything? Today's ----- is a new routine that she does not know?

You must know that to repair such a treasure, let alone 17,000 yuan, even if he offers 100,000 million, he will have to offer it with both hands.

After all, the million-dollar restoration cost is nothing compared to the true value of the antique.

But he only needs 17,000 yuan? not a penny, not a penny?

Most importantly, ask for money first!

"How can I make sure -----"

"You can sign a contract. Jiang Lai interrupted Lin Chuyi's words and said, "If Miss Lin doesn't believe me, I'll leave." ”

After speaking, he didn't give Lin Chuyi time to react, turned around and prepared to leave here.

"Wait!" Lin Chu shouted out loud, looked at the exquisite porcelain in his hand, and finally strengthened his confidence, and said, "I think I can agree to all your requests." ”

Jiang Lai was not surprised by this, and there was no expression of joy on his face, a calm appearance that should be so.

"I want a check. Jiang Lai said loudly.

Walking out of the Shangmei Museum, which has a unique shape and great artistic beauty, Jiang Lai stopped on the tall steps made of bluestone.

"You owe my father seventeen,000 pieces. I brought it back for my father. Jiang looked at the check and muttered to himself, his voice inaudible. "This is just the beginning, not the end. Then it's time for you to really pay back. ”

The sun is dazzling, but the young man's delicate facial features seem to be in a haze, giving people a sense of coldness that people can't really see.

In the office, Lin Chuyi was playing with the exquisite porcelain that Jiang Lai had not taken away, his expression was calm, and his eyes were thoughtful.

After a long time, she grabbed the mobile phone on the table, dialed a number, smiled like a flower, and said crisply: "Honey, help me check someone, he said his name is Jiang Lai." ”
