Chapter 115 Young Master He, the master you've been looking for is right before your eyes.
He Yan knew that the characters were the most difficult to repair because they could not be patched up.
That would cause the artifact to lose its original value.
So she had to come up with a solution.
That was very risky, because she had never tried it before.
It involves preparing a special solution that can restore the color of the ink, allowing it to reappear on the paper.
Fortunately, she succeeded.
Because of the tight schedule, she had to compress what usually took three days into one day.
Then, when she finally finished restoring the calligraphy and painting, she felt a great sense of relief.
"President Lin, the repairs are complete. I'll go and rest now."
"Thank you so much for saving the day and allowing this artifact to be preserved."
Lin Boxing was very happy and grateful to He Yan.
He immediately arranged for staff to take her to the lounge.
The people inside, who were also restoring other antiques and cultural relics, were also incredulous.
They had their doubts, but they never expected that this young girl would be so amazing.
Just then, He Yunyi and Gu Xuanyu came and knocked on the door.
They all wanted to meet the female restorer.
They also realized that this was their only chance, and they didn't even wait for the inside to agree.
The office door was suddenly pushed open.
Without thinking too much, the two went straight inside.
Lin Boxing happened to come out with his assistant.
They looked at each other with surprise.
"President He, President Gu, what's wrong? Is there something wrong with the exhibited artifacts?"
Although he was asking a question, there was a hint of mockery in his eyes.
Because he had already guessed what the two were planning to do.
"President Lin, could I meet that restorer?"
He Yunyi turned his head to look behind him, but there was no young girl in the open door, only the restorers and staff he had already seen.
He Yan was about to leave from that side when she heard the noise outside as she reached the door.
So she immediately turned around and left through the other side of the small door.
"Yeah, that restorer is so amazing, why doesn't he come out and show himself?"
Gu Xuanyu was also curious. He didn't care whether the person was male or female; as long as they were capable, he wanted to recruit them.
At this point, other people who had seen the artifacts also came over out of curiosity.
They were impressed by the restoration skills of the calligraphy and paintings.
"President Lin, was this painting really restored by Master Wen's apprentice?"
"But we don't know if it's true or not."
Lin Boxing smiled amiably, but he didn't give way at all.
He kept his promise to He Yan and did not make it public.
"Everyone, I know how you feel. The restoration of this artifact is indeed astonishing. However, I can assure you that it was indeed restored by Master Wen's last disciple."
Lin Boxing confirmed He Yan's existence and identity so as not to bury her contributions.
"But you'll be disappointed; she doesn't want any private contact."
Those collectors and connoisseurs all shook their heads in regret.
They were willing to make friends, but they knew the other party didn't reciprocate.
Master Wen's disciple was indeed just like his character, incorruptible and untainted by worldly affairs.
Upon hearing that the other party refused to meet, Gu Xuanyu left immediately.
If one path is blocked, then try another.
“Minister Zhang, I know you invited Master Wen’s last disciple to restore the cultural relics, and I also know that the restorer has a bad temper and doesn’t want to see anyone, but we think you can try to persuade her because of the influence of the Gu family in Jinshi.”
“The Gu family also has a partnership with the Antique Association. If she can restore the antiques I have, I can donate some of them to the association. This will only benefit you.”
Gu Xuanyu knew that Chairman Lin was an old-fashioned person who didn't know how to be flexible.
If he wants to recruit people, he has to use his connections.
Given the Gu family's influence, the He family certainly has no chance of winning.
Minister Zhang couldn't afford to offend the Gu family, and he was also willing to cooperate, so he agreed to help persuade them.
"Mr. Gu, please give me some time."
Meanwhile, He Yunyi turned back to continue setting up the exhibition hall.
However, he looked very frustrated.
"President He, why don't you try to get it done again? After all, you've taken on the entire exhibition this time."
“Master Wen himself has long since retired, and most of his students are also quite old. They all have their own things to do and teaching to attend to, so it’s impossible to get them to come.”
He Yunyi looked at those antiques, his eyes filled with self-mockery.
He had no chance against a powerful conglomerate like the Gu family.
"I've heard that the disciple who closed the door is the most capable."
But he couldn't get anyone to come.
They wouldn't even meet with him.
"That's not necessarily true. That restorer is a bit aloof, but she has a very unique personality. She doesn't fawn over other experienced restorers, which makes her stand out."
The staff member who was speaking had also secretly peeked at the repair process from the doorway.
He didn't know He Yan's true identity; it was just his own opinion.
He Yan has always kept a low profile, and she tries her best not to take photos or appear in public at many unavoidable events.
Even though Xu Yuan listed her on the socialite list, she was still not famous.
He Yunyi felt a surge of hope upon hearing this.
"Really? So if we meet that restorer's criteria, it might be possible to hire her?"
However, there is also a problem: the other party refuses to meet, so there is no way to have a face-to-face meeting. Apart from knowing that the other party is a woman, he knows nothing about her and has no way to start.
He Yunyi put a lot of effort into expanding his investment company.
He had people search for clues about antiques and buy those damaged fragments at the lowest possible price.
Once it is repaired, its value can be elevated to a new level.
The He family's antique investment company also has a bright future.
All of this requires certain prerequisites.
"If I could meet her and get her to help, my company would definitely be able to take another step forward."
"what are you saying?"
A crisp sound rang out from behind.
He Yunyi turned around in surprise and saw He Yan coming over.
"No, I was talking about work."
"Oh."
He Yan didn't ask any more questions, but just stood there quietly watching him set up the exhibition hall and compare the information in his hands.
"How did it go when you were looking at the calligraphy and paintings?"
He Yunyi thought that after he finished his work here, he would still go to see Chairman Lin again.
Regardless, he had to ask Chairman Lin to intercede on his behalf.
Thinking about how He Yan had just gone to look at the words, I felt I should still show some concern.
"It's alright, it's quite good to watch."
He Yan felt a little bored seeing He Yunyi trying his best to ignore the awkwardness and interact with her normally.
She has said that she doesn't like to be deliberate or to pander.
"If you're uncomfortable, don't force yourself."
He Yunyi felt inexplicably guilty, and because he was troubled by the antique matter, he didn't respond.
He appears successful on the surface, but he also suffers unspeakable hardships behind the scenes.
He Yan took the documents to look at other antiques.
Suddenly, my eyes were drawn to a vibrant, lush green.
It was a very beautiful jade bracelet.
Judging from its appearance, it is a top-quality imperial emerald, with intricate gold wire inlay patterns.
He Yan had a sudden thought and immediately called over the staff.
"Could you please inquire about the condition of this jade bracelet for me?"
"Miss, I've found out for you."
The staff member returned quickly, bringing with him both good news and bad news.
"The owner of this jade bracelet is an elderly gentleman. He intended to sell it, which is why he brought it to the exhibition. However, it has just been bought by a collector."
"Ok."
He Yan felt a little helpless; she had originally intended to buy it for her collection.
She stood in front of the display case, feeling regretful, but didn't notice anyone walking up to her.
She caught a whiff of the familiar, crisp scent of cedar, and a look of surprise crossed her eyes.
Before I could even turn around, I heard a soft laugh.
Bo Siheng had one hand in his pocket, looking quite relaxed.
Why does Mrs. Bo seem a little unhappy?
