The waiter was very fast, and after a while, he cleaned up the table, put on the tea trays, dried fruit preserves, etc., and then invited the foreigners in.

Coming in were several tall foreigners with different hair and eye colors, they were wearing suits, and they looked quite imposing.

Obviously, they were led by the man in the middle, and sure enough, the man sat down in the empty seat.

They were followed by a man with black hair and black eyes, who looked like a translator.

"Professor Yan, Mr. Daniel has a beloved painting that has been destroyed, I heard that you have the ability to restore the painting, and I would like to ask you for help. ”

This translator should have done his homework and knew which one of them here was Professor Yan.

But he sounded a little strange, a bit like the accent of Cantonese Province.

A wooden box was carefully placed on the table, and when opened, the opening was turned towards Professor Yan.

Professor Yan glanced at the battered oil painting in the box, which, judging from the corners, was supposed to be a portrait.

However, he had no research on foreign paintings, and he did not know the information of such paintings, so he did not know where to start.

Although the age of foreign historical relics is not too old, and it is generally not necessary to worry about the problem of raw materials if they cannot be repaired, the problem is that foreign painting methods and pigments are very different from those in China.

Even if Professor Yan is a master in this line, he is also smeared by two eyes.

"I'm sorry, I'm afraid I can't do anything about it. Professor Yan shook his head and said.

Qiao Jiayue heard the foreigner say, "Show him that painting." ”

A standing foreigner opens a scroll of a cloth bag and unfolds a dilapidated painting.

As soon as Professor Yan saw the painting, his face changed on the spot, and he looked at the foreigner with a very tangled face.

This is a picture of a horse, in fact, it is not well preserved, if it is really a painting of the Tang Dynasty, it should be Han Gan's undoubtedly, but unfortunately there are too few paintings circulated by the other party, and he can't distinguish them.

"It's not that I don't help, but it's not easy to restore an ancient painting, I don't know much about the paint, technique and style of this painting, and I'm afraid that it will be nondescript after repairing. Professor Yan gritted his teeth and said, feeling his heart dripping blood.

If this ancient painting is real and slips away from your eyes, then you are really unwilling to think about it.

"Can you let me take a closer look at that ancient painting?" Qiao Hongliang suddenly spoke, in pure English.

When the foreigner heard the interpreter say that Professor Yan had been refusing, his face was already very ugly.

He didn't expect that there was still someone at the dinner table who could speak English, he looked at Qiao Hongliang, who was recommended by Mao Sui, and narrowed his eyes.

This translator's ability is actually very average, and he didn't express all the meaning of Professor Yan, so Qiao Hongliang re-translated the meaning of Professor Yan's words for this Mr. Daniel.

Daniel was a little upset when he heard this, in fact, he had already been to Japan once before, but the best restorer there was not sure, so he had to try his luck in China.

He went to Hong Kong Island first, but there was no way there, so he had to come to the mainland to try.

He listened to Qiao Hongliang's words and agreed with him to observe the painting to be restored.

Qiao Hongliang carefully looked at the painting in the box, it was an oil painting of a portrait, but it had been soaked in water, and there were many traces of puncture, tearing, and crumpling.

In short, the painting has been devastated, how much does the person who did it hate it?

Qiao Jiayue was close and could see it clearly, she couldn't help but sigh with emotion, she wanted to restore this painting, how superb is this?

Professor Yan saw that Qiao Hongliang was looking seriously, so he walked to Qiao Hongliang's side, and the teacher and student discussed in a low voice.

Daniel didn't understand, frowning and looking at the old and young in front of him, what were they talking about?

He thought for a moment and said, "If you can fix this painting, in addition to the remuneration for this painting, I will also agree to invest in your country." ”

"......" Qiao's father and Deng Xianchang looked at this foreign gentleman at the same time.

Father Qiao saw that Professor Yan and Qiao Hongliang had not yet discussed the results, so he and Deng Xianchang glanced at each other, why don't you take this opportunity to talk to this Mr. Daniel about the form of foreign countries?

Although Qiao's father has learned English from Qiao's mother for a while, it is only limited to simple conversations, and as for Deng Xianchang, he is better than Qiao's father.

But it doesn't matter, Mother Qiao and Mu Shuwan are here, can they still translate?

Daniel was stunned for a moment, and glanced sideways at the translator beside him, who was already flushed and unable to speak.

He didn't expect that so many people in this room could speak English, and they didn't say a word just now, and they were all laughing at themselves.

Daniel saw that Professor Yan and Qiao Hongliang were still discussing, and he was very persistent in restoring the painting, so he patiently chatted.

Qiao's father and Deng Xianchang quickly got a lot of information from this Mr. Daniel, who came from the United Kingdom and worked in the automotive industry in his family.

The main purpose of his visit to the mainland this time was not to invest, but mainly for the painting.

But for the sake of this painting, he can think about this country that has just opened its doors to the world.

Qiao's father and Deng Xianchang didn't plan to get involved in this industry, and chatted with Daniel, mainly to get some information abroad, but they didn't care whether he would invest or not.

On the other side, Qiao Hongliang and Professor Yan discussed, and they agreed that this ancient painting was genuine, and since this was the case, it was necessary to try to restore this painting.

"Are you confident?" Professor Yan knew that his son-in-law was involved in a wide range of strategies, although he had been a teacher and student for a few years, but in fact, he really didn't know where Qiao Hongliang's ability was.

Qiao Hongliang held the box and looked left and right, with a serious expression, "I'm not sure, I have to study it." ”

Yan Danfeng leaned sideways and looked up at Qiao Hongliang slightly, she liked his serious appearance the most.

She felt that someone was looking at her, so she looked sideways and saw that it was Qiao Jiayue, and she smiled at Qiao Jiayue.

Qiao Jiayue simply changed her seat to Yan Danfeng's side, "Third sister-in-law, will it be boring?"

Yan Danfeng shook her head, every time she heard Qiao Jiayue call her third sister-in-law, she felt weird, "Jiayue, you still call me by name." ”

"It's not going to work. Qiao Jiayue neatly refused, "You get used to it after listening to it for a long time." ”

Yan Danfeng touched his stomach, "Have you figured out when you will get married?"

"If you don't have grandpa, you can do it at any time. But I'm afraid that when the time is set, some things will be very troublesome. ”

After all, when they left the Alpine Brigade, several uncles and their family were not very happy.

Several uncles seized on their wedding date to criticize Qiao's father and Qiao's mother for this, which was the last thing she wanted to see.

But the most important point is that because of Qiao Jiayue's own experience, she believes that there is another world after death.

So she didn't want her marriage to offend anything.

Yan Danfeng thought that Qiao Jiayue had something to consider, but she didn't say anything, and she couldn't say anything.

"Later, you can have a good chat with Abba and Auntie, maybe it will be clear.

The two sisters-in-law were talking in a low voice, and they heard Qiao Hongliang say over there: "I can try, but I need more information about this painting." ”
