Chapter 163: Chapter 163: The Shocked Archaeologists_1

The other few individuals were very famous in the collection and archaeology circles, also holding positions as professors in the archaeology department at Capital City University, including Professor Guo Shaodong, Professor Gu Xiaolong, Professor Hu Jiandong, and Professor Yan Donghai.

These five good friends were first-rate connoisseurs in the collection and archaeology circles.

Whether in their work or personal lives, the five of them were very good friends, often gathering together to appraise antiques, share tea, play chess, or chat. They would also watch out for each other in times of need.

This time, upon hearing from Wang Changzheng that someone intended to donate a collection of very rare and valuable artifacts from the Song Dynasty, including famous porcelains to the National Museum, the four professors became excited.

They even insisted on helping Manager Wang to take a closer look and scrutinize the items, to ensure he did not miss anything.

Although they said this in jest, Wang Changzheng playfully ribbed them in return.

In the end, the four professors got their wish and accompanied Wang Changzheng to welcome the collection of precious antiques from the Song Dynasty.

There was still well over half an hour until the appointed time, but they had already arrived at the main entrance, ready to greet Dugu Zixi and Shen Tianxing.

However, Dugu Zixi and Shen Tianxing did not appear ahead of time, which started to make the rather impatient Professor Guo Shaodong anxious.

He approached Manager Wang Changzheng and whispered, "Manager Wang, will those people not go back on their word and fail to show up?"

Wang Changzheng chuckled softly, "Rest assured! Do you know who is going to deliver these Song Dynasty antiques today?"

Guo Shaodong’s eyes lit up, "Who is it? Tell us quickly!"

The other professors also began to urge, "Exactly, who is it? Manager Wang, stop keeping us in suspense and just tell us!"

"Tell us! Tell us!"

Seeing their anxious and curious expressions, Wang Changzheng finally revealed, with a mysterious look, "This donor is none other than the fiancée of the Dugu Family’s eldest young master."

The four professors immediately understood, "So it’s the fiancée of the Dugu family’s eldest young master!"

Guo Shaodong suddenly asked, "But I heard that the Dugu family’s eldest young master’s fiancée comes from a rural area in Suzhou. How could she have so many Song Dynasty antiques to donate?"

Wang Changzheng laughed heartily, "How does it matter where she got so many Song Dynasty antiques from? As long as she is willing to donate them to the country, that’s a great thing. If you really want to probe other people’s origins, who would dare to donate good items to the country in the future? Who would be willing to do a good deed for the country, only to end up with no good outcome?"

The other professors agreed, "Manager Wang is right, we must encourage these good deeds and good people, we cannot interrogate them as if catching criminals."

"Indeed, not to sound crass, but even if the origins of these items are unclear, the fact that they are to be handed over to the country is enough to prove their patriotic hearts."

Guo Shaodong saw his old friends chattering away and smiled helplessly, "Of course, I understand that’s the rationale. I’m just a bit curious, that’s all. I’m not actually looking to dig my own grave—who would dare to delve into that family’s affairs!"

Wang Changzheng laughed jovially, "Glad you understand."

Just then, Wang Changzheng saw a black sedan driving slowly towards them.

He recognized the special license plate and said to the other four professors, "Here they come, here they come." Having said that, Wang Changzheng was the first to walk towards the black sedan.

The other four professors quickly followed suit.

As the director of the National Museum, Wang Changzheng personally came forward to open the car door for Shen Tianxing and greeted her enthusiastically, "Little Doctor, hello! Welcome to our National Museum, please get out of the car!"

Shen Tianxing smiled at him, "Hello, Director Wang."

Before coming here, Dugu Zixi had already transmitted Director Wang Changzheng’s personal information into Shen Tianxing’s brain, so she could recognize him at a glance.

Seeing that Shen Tianxing actually knew him, Wang Changzheng also said happily, "So the Little Doctor knows me as well, it is truly an honor, an honor, very pleased to meet you..."

Wang Changzheng then introduced Dugu Zixi and Shen Tianxing to the other four professors and explained, "These four professors are appraisal experts in the field of archaeology and collection. They have come today because I asked them to join us in appraising these precious antiques, and I hope you don’t mind."

Shen Tianxing gently said with a laugh, "Of course we don’t mind, we have come to hand over these antiques to Director Wang. After that, how the National Museum arranges these antiques is not our concern."

Wang Changzheng bowed deeply to Dugu Zixi and Shen Tianxing, "On behalf of the National Museum, I extend the highest respects and thanks to you both for bringing these precious Song Dynasty antiques to the National Museum, allowing everyone the opportunity to witness the beautiful treasures of our ancient nation."

Dugu Zixi and Shen Tianxing stepped aside to avoid his deep bow.

Then, Shen Tianxing said, "There’s no need for formalities, Director Wang. The items are all in the back of the car, please lead the way and Zixi and I will bring them in!"

Wang Changzheng quickly said, "Let us do it, let us do it."

Looking at the elderly men before him, Dugu Zixi spoke indifferently, "It’s best if Zixi and I handle it. Director Wang, you lead the way!"

The moment Dugu Zixi spoke, Wang Changzheng immediately didn’t dare to argue any further.

Shen Tianxing opened the rear compartment, which contained four boxes securely wrapped in tape and string.

Dugu Zixi lifted the four boxes all by himself, not allowing even Shen Tianxing to carry one. "Don’t hurt your hands!" he said.

Seeing Dugu Zixi carrying the four boxes that looked heavy as if they were nothing, striding along vigorously, they all silently praised in their hearts that the Crown Prince was truly concealing his strength, truly impressive! Impressive!

Once they arrived in Director Wang Changzheng’s office, in front of the four professors, Dugu Zixi and Shen Tianxing transferred a series of famous Song Dynasty porcelains and several precious paintings and calligraphy to the hands of Director Wang Changzheng.

Director Wang Changzheng and the four senior professors, with anticipation, carefully opened the four boxes.

When they saw the indescribably beautiful Song Dynasty famous porcelains, each and every one of them widened their eyes, their breaths quiet as if even a loud breath would desecrate those exquisitely beautiful artworks.

"My goodness! This really is Ru Porcelain from the Song Dynasty, so beautiful! Really so beautiful!"

"This is Jun Porcelain from the Song Dynasty!"

"This is imperial porcelain from the Song Dynasty!"

"This is Ge Porcelain from the Song Dynasty!"

"This is Ding Porcelain from the Song Dynasty!"

"My heavens! Old Guo, pinch me, see if I’m dreaming? The five famous porcelains of the Song Dynasty, they are all here! And they are so well-preserved..."
