Although Tang Tongtong did say that she would come to find him, Han Chunming did not take it seriously. He did not expect that this girl would really come.

Judging from the girl's condition, she seems to have recovered from the blow she suffered at that time.

Could it be that she is here to challenge me again?

If this is true, then this girl is really difficult to deal with!

This is not the most important thing. If Guan Xiaoguan saw Tang Tongtong, would he misunderstand?

"Han Chunming."

Tang Tongtong bit a candied haws, looked at him with a smile, and called him by his full name.

To be honest, Han Chunming is more than qualified to be Tang Tongtong's elder brother, but this girl is disrespectful.

The girl at the front desk was so shocked that her jaw dropped. How could this pretty girl dare to address their chairman by his first name?

"Calling me 'Big Brother' is disrespectful." Han Chunming complained, "Why did you suddenly come to Yanjing?"

"Hmph! What kind of big brother are you to me? I won't call you that. At worst, I'll just call you Old Han." Tang Tongtong bit off a candied haws, not taking Han Chunming's words seriously at all. "Of course I came here to talk to you."

"What do you want to do now? Are you going to challenge me again?" Han Chunming no longer cared about Tang Tongtong's address and directly said what was in his heart.

Tang Tongtong rolled her eyes adorably and said, "Who wants to challenge you? Didn't I embarrass myself enough last time?"

Hearing this, Han Chunming finally breathed a sigh of relief. "Then why did you come to see me?"

I really can't figure it out. Why did this little girl come to Yanjing to find me instead of staying in Tianjin?

If it weren't for the challenge, Han Chunming really couldn't think of anything else. "I want you to help me repair a piece of porcelain."

When the topic came up, Tang Tongtong finally turned serious. "Repairing porcelain?" This was a completely unexpected question for Han Chunming, and it was only then that he noticed the girl was carrying a large travel bag.

It seems that the piece of porcelain that he needed to repair was in that backpack.

Han Chunming became interested. What kind of porcelain could this be?

In fact, Han Chunming had never expected that Tang Tongtong would come to him to repair porcelain.

Tianjin's antiques industry is full of talented people, and Zhuang Mo himself is also very capable. Why did he choose me to repair porcelain?

Most importantly, how did Tang Tongtong know that he could repair porcelain?

"Although there are many talented restorers in Tianjin, my master said that Ghost Hand Zhang from Yanjing is the real master of restoration. However, I have no other options, so I can only come to you."

Soon, Tang Tongtong resolved Han Chunming's doubts by herself, allowing him to finally put them aside.

It turns out that this girl didn't know that "547" could repair porcelain...

"Why don't you go find Tang Ming?" Han Chunming asked.

Tang Ming is Ghost Hand Zhang's apprentice, and is quite talented. Logically, Tang Tongtong should go to him.

Although, Han Chunming was very disdainful of Tang Ming... "Looking for him? Haha..."

Tang Tongtong suddenly sneered, and it was obvious that she was also very disdainful of Tang Ming.

"I've met that Tang Ming once before. He's just a hypocritical villain. I'm looking for him? Don't be ridiculous. I'm disgusted."

This is quite consistent with Tang Tongtong's personality. Maybe she always seems cute to outsiders, but she is very noble in her heart. She looks down on people she doesn't like, but she just doesn't say it.

Although he is young, he has a very clear understanding of things.

Han Chunming smiled and said, "Then did you know that Ghost Hand Zhang's hands are already disabled?"

"Ah?" Tang Tongtong was stunned for a moment.

She had always heard her master say that Ghost Hand Zhang's hands could turn decay into magic, but she didn't know that Ghost Hand Zhang's hands were already disabled.

Every time he asked about Ghost Hand Zhang, Zhuang Mo would sigh and look regretful.

Now that I think about it, I must be feeling sorry for Ghost Hand Zhang's hand...

Thinking of this, Tang Tongtong revealed a lost expression. If Ghost Hand Zhang's hand was already broken, then wouldn't the porcelain in her hand be hopeless?

Seeing Tang Tongtong's distress, Han Chunming smiled and said, "Take out your porcelain and let me see it. Maybe I can help you."

"You can repair porcelain? You can do this?" Tang Tongtong was quite surprised.

To repair porcelain, one must have at least ten years of experience. Han Chunming has only been famous for a short time. Although he has an extraordinary eye, he doesn't look like someone who can do this!

"What? You don't believe me? You have to hire someone to repair it anyway, so why not let me try first? Even if I can't fix it, it won't break it, right?" Han Chunming coaxed.

After all, he was still very interested in the treasure in Tang Tongtong's hand.

Interesting.

Although still a little hesitant, Tang Tongtong nodded and said, "I can show it to you first. After you have seen it, you can decide whether to repair it or not, so that your efforts will not be in vain. However, you can't look at it here, right? This is the front desk..."

After looking at the surrounding environment, it was indeed not very convenient to take out the porcelain, as this was the front desk reception area.

The treasure naturally had to be taken out from a secluded place. Han Chunming didn't want this girl to go to his office, so it seemed that he could only find a private room in a nearby coffee shop.

So, Han Chunming took Tang Tongtong to find a relatively high-end coffee shop and opened a private room.

These days, being able to spend money in a coffee shop is really considered a high-end consumption...

The two of them sat down facing each other in the private room. The waiter brought them snacks and two cups of coffee, then closed the door.

"Now, can we take out the porcelain?" Han Chunming pointed at Tongtong's backpack and said with a smile.

He was genuinely curious about what kind of porcelain would make Tang Tongtong come all the way to Yanjing to ask him for help in repairing it?

Tang Tongtong was not the kind of person who would waste time. She opened her backpack and took out a cloth bag from it. It was obvious that she was very careful.

Putting the cloth bag on the table, Tang Tongtong's little hands unzipped the bag, revealing the porcelain pieces inside.

At first glance at the piece, Han Chunming couldn't help but gasp and exclaimed, "A Yuan Dynasty blue and white porcelain jar with a pattern of the Fragrance Pavilion?

That’s right, this is a fragment of a Yuan Dynasty blue and white porcelain jar fired in a kiln. The damage is not very serious and it is not difficult to repair, so Han Chunming recognized it at a glance.

But after taking a closer look, Han Chunming felt something was wrong. The Yuan Dynasty blue and white porcelain jar with the incense pavilion pattern should not have appeared at this time. He remembered that it would take more than ten years for this treasure to appear at the auction of Jade, and it would be a complete and authentic piece. How could it be a porcelain fragment now?

And most importantly, this broken jar looks very much like the real thing, but it still has flaws, so it is obviously a fake!

"Why did you ask me to repair a replica of a Yuan Dynasty blue and white porcelain jar with the pattern of Jinxiangting?" Han Chunming looked up at Tang Tongtong and asked seriously.

Could it be that this girl was still thinking of challenging herself, using this fake Yuan blue and white porcelain to test her eyesight and humiliate herself at the same time?

You know, in the last competition, this girl lost because of the Yuan blue and white porcelain...

You can't blame Han Chunming for thinking this way. After all, no one would want to repair a replica for no apparent reason, right?

To put it bluntly, this is a fake!

"You can tell it's a fake? I knew I couldn't hide it from you." Tang Tongtong stared at Han Chunming with wide eyes and said approvingly.

"So, are you kidding me?" Han Chunming said dissatisfiedly.

"Of course not!" Tang Tongtong quickly shook her head. "I really want to repair this porcelain. It's very important to me."

"How is it important?" Han Chunming didn't quite believe what the girl said.

Tang Tongtong seemed to have noticed Han Chunming's disbelief and sighed. If she didn't explain it clearly, the man in front of her probably wouldn't help her repair the porcelain.

Then, Tang Tongtong said, "This replica of the Yuan Dynasty blue and white brocade pavilion jar is the legacy of my master's wife."

Hearing this, Han Chunming was stunned: "A posthumous work?" In other words, this is a replica made by Zhuang Mo's wife?

Han Chunming really knew nothing about Zhuang Mo's family affairs, so he was surprised and confused when he heard Tang Tongtong's words.

What has actually happened?

Tang Tongtong said, not intending to keep the secret. "After the Tianjin Antiques Bureau lost to you last time, I was really devastated for a while. Remember that day when I went to your hotel to find you and said, 'Wouldn't this matter be over?' Why do you and I have to be in the antiques circle? Ever since then, I've been thinking a lot."

"My senior brothers all thought I was unable to recover from the setback. Even my master thought so. But they all knew that I had been thinking about my future."

"There are many outstanding women in the antiques world who have established themselves. I once aspired to be like them. But after witnessing your abilities, I suddenly realized that I am still very reckless and imprudent. So, I made a decision."

"What decision?" Han Chunming couldn't help but ask.

Although he didn't know what this girl said had to do with repairing porcelain, Han Chunming was still very curious about what decision this girl had made.

"I decided to go back and study hard, get into the archaeology department, and then continue to appreciate antiques with my master after graduating from university." Tang Tongtong said.

Although this decision surprised Han Chunming a little, it was also expected.

Tang Tongtong is still so young. At such a flower-like age, she should study hard instead of wasting her time in the complicated antique circle. Not everyone is as lucky as Han Chunming.

"This is a good thing!" Han Chunming praised.

"But Master didn't think so. He was angry for several days, and my fellow practitioners also took turns to persuade me to give up this idea. After all, I have followed Master for several years. If I go back to study now, all the reputation I have built up will be lost."

"But I was very persistent. No matter how my senior brother tried to persuade me, I wouldn't listen. Later, when my master saw that I was very determined, he finally relented, but he put forward a condition."

Even without Tang Tongtong mentioning the condition, Han Chunming already knew what it was. "Repairing this porcelain?"

"Yes," Tang Tongtong continued, "Master and his wife had a deep bond. When his wife was diagnosed with cancer, she made a replica of this Yuan Dynasty blue and white porcelain jar with the "Jinxiang Pavilion" pattern before she died, saying she wanted to leave it to Master as a memory. This replica is almost identical to the original. If you weren't an expert like you, you wouldn't be able to tell it was a fake."
