The elevator stopped on the seventeenth floor, and He Manzhou followed Bai Yi behind him and walked through the entire corridor.

Because they had to discuss the future itinerary, the two of them did not go back to their respective rooms, but went directly to Bai Yi to gather there. There were too many emergencies before, He Manzhou didn't calm down, and he didn't have time to think about what he didn't. At this moment, it finally quieted down, and the subtle physical contact just now was recalled.

From Bai Yi's cold and indifferent cologne smell on his body, to the hugs and heartbeats at very close range, they were all turned out like slides in He Manzhou's heart, and all the details were chewed several times, looking for sugar from that kind of minutiae. And Bai Yicong's silence at the critical moment made her can't help but think about it.

Miss He's usual drama essence attribute is like getting some kind of bonus at this time, not only learning to reason and analyze, but also upholding the attitude of never letting herself be troubled.

So much so that the more she thought about it, the happier she became, and she felt that according to Bai Yi's straightforward character, he did not directly deny it, which most likely meant that he was also a little ambiguous about himself.

After all, there is no refusal, is that ......

Rounding it up, he's interested in me.

These strange reasoning fermented in silence, so that the accumulated historical questions completely disturbed He Manzhou's heart, and the smile on the corner of her lips couldn't stop rising, and even the action of turning the book couldn't hide her heart.

Bai also never understood this.

His gaze stopped on He Manzhou's body for a few seconds, and he really couldn't figure out what was the cause of her abnormal behavior this morning. There is no clue about the treasure of the relict king, and the coordinates hidden in the two ancient paintings have not been deciphered, why is it that Miss He has won the five million lottery with a posture, and she can't even do the most basic expression management.

All afternoon, she was laughing when she was walking, laughing when she was eating, and when she returned to the room, she was still laughing when she flipped through the book of "Ancient Totem Examination" that she couldn't understand at all.

Could it be that normal humans can become more and more stupid?

"I said it last night, and I'll give you a reasonable explanation today. ”

Adhering to the attitude of simply not wanting to think about it, Bai Yi never delved into the reasons for this, after all, no matter what the reason was, he didn't care so much, and just said it lightly.

"The internal situation of the Bai family is complicated, and the true purpose of this trip to Wucheng is inconvenient for the other three veins to know. You can understand that this auction is to give these things a proper name, without saying hello in advance, but I think you can cooperate. ”

He Manzhou thought about Bai Yicong's words, and felt that he seemed to explain, but he didn't seem to say anything.

"Yesterday's pocket watch ......"

"That pocket watch has other uses, and you'll know what it will be useful for later. Thinking of what He Manzhou was minding, Bai Yicong continued to add, "Yesterday it was photographed in your name, there are indeed other considerations, Bai Mu is deeply thoughtful, if I come forward, I think he will think more, but to find out why I have to get this pocket watch." The entanglement of interests mixed with human debts is the most unclear, and the more Bai Mu feels that this matter cannot be understood, the more he can't figure out his true intentions. ”

Hearing this, He Manzhou couldn't help but sigh, Bai Yicong is really unromantic, the things that were originally so surfacing were so simple by him, as if she was just an emotionless tool person, even if this is the case, how much do you care about the feelings of girls?

It was probably this kind of emotion that affected He Manzhou's tone, and her casual words were a little unhappy.

"So you're just using me as a shield?"

In this regard, Bai Yi was never noncommittal, and he did not feel the small temptation on the other side at all.

You can also understand that this is the best choice. ”

He Manzhou: "......."

Okay, what more could you ask for for a straight man?

It seems that in just a few words, Bai Yicong explained everything clearly. Looking at his calm and breezy appearance, He Manzhou felt very uncomfortable, and it was not good to question people directly, so why are you so ambiguous, just to send Tianwentang Museum a favor?

But no matter how much she muttered in her heart, it didn't affect Miss He's calm surface.

"Oh, I can understand, that's what I told my senior brother. ”

"That's great, and there's something you need to do later. Bai Yicong nodded slightly, and then said, "The Bai family's public itinerary is to jointly hold a spring exhibition with the Tianwentang Museum, so during this time, the main purpose of our business trip is to deal with the relevant reasons for the spring exhibition, determine the theme, find exhibits, and carry out field work.

"Spring Exhibition?"

Hearing this, He Manzhou couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

Whether it is a museum or an antique city, it is indispensable to hold various exhibitions to increase customer flow, and then attract collectors from all over the country through gimmicks and take the opportunity to make a big profit.

Although the Tianwentang Museum is a private museum with the main purpose of not making profits, it rarely takes pains to gain greater popularity on weekdays, but there is no reason not to make money. Especially after He Sheng's disappearance, although the Tianwentang Museum still maintains cooperation with Z University, it is just an old relationship, and it is not reliable enough after all.

Wherever cooperation can be reached, it is necessary to pay attention to a balance of interests.

In the past, Z University needed to rely on He Sheng's reputation, and many of the school's key research projects were personally checked by Professor He, so of course the school did not mind selling the old scholars a face, and they would even take the initiative to cooperate with the Tianwentang Museum without He Sheng saying anything.

But when He Sheng left Z University, the situation was different.

The He family explained to the outside world that He Sheng was going abroad for a vacation, and Z University also retained his position. But how long will this "vacation" take, whether He Sheng will come back after that, and even whether there is another secret behind it, is unknown. For things full of uncertainty, Z University gave He Manzhou three points of face because of the old favors, but when the favors are always exhausted, even if He Manzhou calls the principal of Z University an uncle, he can't really expect the love to live.

Even if people don't do anything, it's a matter of course.

He Manzhou doesn't say these things, but it doesn't mean that the problem no longer exists, just like the surface scenery of the Tianwentang Museum, in fact, many things are going downhill. Having lost the biggest shelter in the past, He Manzhou and Shen Chuanyuan struggled with the normal operation of the museum, and changing the business model has also become an urgent need.

In the past year, Shen Chuanyuan has made a lot of attempts to make this private museum have more business opportunities and get out of the past constraints. Not to mention that he consciously contacted the organizers of major exhibitions and auctions, he was also quite concerned about the spring exhibition itself. He Manzhou saw these things in his eyes, but the limitations of the Tianwentang Museum were too obvious, and they could not be achieved by hard work alone.

If you want the business circle to recognize the name of Tianwentang, it is obviously not something that can be achieved overnight.

And being able to cooperate with Bai Yulou is, of course, a good opportunity for Tianda.

Bai Yulou's popularity and influence in the industry are recognized by everyone, but all the objects that are related to the Bai family have their own security and value, and it can be said that the price will be higher invisibly. The Bai family is also a benchmark for the choice of partners, and Bai rarely cooperates with others on weekdays, and it is even more rare to hold exhibitions together.

After all, the status of the Bai family is there, and there is no need to borrow the power of other people, it has always been the antique circle that the gang of people sharpened their heads and wanted to have a relationship with Bai Yicong, and Bai Yicong never took the initiative to hand over an olive branch. In the end, he rarely approves of others.

Being able to become Bai Yicong's partner is a kind of recognition in itself, and it can also raise its value to a higher level in the eyes of outsiders.

——Boss Bai thinks that the Tianwentang Museum has a future, what are you worried about?

Coupled with the commercial influence of Baiyulou, if this exhibition is done well, it is likely to become an opportunity for the Tianwentang Museum to turn over.

He Manzhou's mind turned quickly, she carefully touched these things, of course she understood that just looking at the qualifications of the Tianwentang Museum, it obviously did not reach such a level, no matter how you look at it, Boss Bai is selling her favors.

After thinking about it, she was in a good mood and touched Bai Yicong with her arm.

"You're so good to me, Boss Bai?"

"I said, because of your father's relationship, I will take care of you. ”

"If you care about me, just say it, what excuse are you looking for? He Manzhou smiled loudly, "Take care of small things, take care of big things, yesterday's auction sold me a big face, is it really to hide people's eyes? I'm not stupid, who can still see what attitude towards me, you treat me too well, right?"

Bai Yicong heard this familiar to him, as if his cousin Liu Mu, who was a hanger not long ago, also asked about it. He muttered in his heart, what is going on with children nowadays, why are they so good at associating with one or two, and when it comes to serious things, one is more out of tune than the other, and when it comes to gossip, they are like Sherlock Holmes.

Have you watched too many idol dramas?

But in the face of He Manzhou's clear and bright eyes, the rebuttal was not spoken.

"Whatever you want. ”

This is quite a straight man, but what is the matter with a bit of acquiescence and spoiling in addition to being a straight man?

He Manzhou seemed to have discovered a new continent, and finally found the fun of taking the initiative.

She originally wanted to continue to tease a few words about poverty, but Boss Bai took out a businesslike look, took out the two ancient paintings from the painting scroll, and carefully placed them on the table.

Then he curled his fingertips and tapped lightly on the wooden table, reminding He Manzhou to come back to his senses and stop talking about those useless things.

"I've explained the first thing clearly, now I move on. Your Tianwentang Museum's "Ancient Map of Shantao Words", as well as our Bai family's "Nanshan Returning to the Clouds", the itinerary and coordinates are all in these two paintings. ”

"What the hell are we looking for?"

When it came to serious things, He Manzhou finally restrained those private emotions and became serious.

"I saw my father's notes written, and he confirmed the coordinates through these two ancient paintings. But he hasn't mentioned to me what the coordinates are before, you are an insider, do you have any clues?"
