Chapter 700 - The Huaxia Museum



Chapter 700 The Huaxia Museum

It was already midnight when they returned to the Tang Sect. The two of them were in love with each other and Qin Haodong took her to his bedroom without any hesitation.

It was morning. It was just an ordinary night for common people, but it was completely different for Wei Yanran.

In the past few hours, her dream came true and she had transitioned from an innocent girl into a woman. At the same time, she also became a ninth-level grand master overnight. In fact, she was just an ordinary person without any martial arts foundation yesterday.

Qin Haodong took her hand and brought her to the dining room at breakfast time. Nalan Wushuang and others were shocked to see her standing here.

They had made plans yesterday to control the three families by pursuing the three beauties in the capital. But Qin Haodong brought one of them back home in one night. It was unbelievable!

Moreover, judging by the unstable aura over Wei Yanran, they had already practiced the Double Cultivation Initiation Method and were a couple now.

At this time, Chu Xuanyue walked into the dining room. Qin Haodong introduced Wei Yanran to her, “Mom, this is Yanran, your daughter-in-law...”

Wei Yanran said shyly, “Nice to see you, auntie!”

“Great... Just sit down, kid.”

Chu Xuanyue had met Wei Yanran before and she couldn’t believe that her son had made his move so quickly. She was happy to see all her daughters-in-law sitting in the dining room.

Qin Haodong then introduced Wei Yanran to the others, “Yanran was just an ordinary person before and knows nothing about martial arts. She’s a ninth-level grand master now, but she has no experience or skills. Please help her to make better use of her strength.”

“Hello, everyone!”

Wei Yanran stood up and smiled at the group.

Chu Xuanyue said, “You look so beautiful when you smile!”

After the meal, Ye Qing pulled Qin Haodong aside and said, “You’re great. I didn’t expect that you would seize the opportunity and bring her back.”

Qin Haodong smiled and said, “What can I do? I’m simply too charming.”

“Don’t be so smug.” Ye Qing rolled her eyes. “I’ve just contacted Director Chen of the Huaxia Museum.”

“What did he say? Did he accept my request?” Qin Haodong asked.

“Director Chen said that he will accept your request and allow you to have a closer look at the Animal Heads in the museum if one of your sculpted head is genuine.”

Qin Haodong said, “What is he talking about? All the six sculpted heads are real, none of them are fake.”

Ye Qing said, “I know nothing about the collection. You can discuss that with the appraisal experts in the Huaxia Museum.”

After their discussion, Qin Haodong put all the six sculpted heads into a box and went to the Huaxia Museum with Zhang Tieniu and the other two members from the Daddy Security Company.

Chen Dongxu, director of the Huaxia Museum, had laughed silently, when Ye Qing called him in the morning and said that her younger brother was going to donate six Animal Heads to the museum.

Everybody knew that eight of the 12 Animal Heads were in Huaxia right now. Some time ago, Jiangnan donated a sheep head and a dragon head was in T Island. The other eight heads were stored in the Huaxia Museum.

How could her younger brother have six sculpted heads? Then there would be 15 Animal Heads in total, which was absurd.

Therefore, Chen Dongxu believed that Ye Qing’s brother might be trying to get some attention or he had been cheated by someone else. None of his sculpted heads were real.

But the Haodong Group was a top-class financial group in Huaxia and his son, who was about to graduate from college, wanted to work there. That was the reason why he stayed and received them in person.

In the living room of the museum, he felt even more disappointed about the donation when he saw that Qin Haodong was just a young man. He was obviously a naive boy who knew nothing about antique collections. He must have been cheated by someone.

Ye Qing introduced Qin Haodong to Chen Dongxu and they all took their seats.

After a few conventional remarks, Qin Haodong said, “Director Chen, I want to donate 6 sculpted heads to our museum. Please get an expert to assess them.”

“We don’t need an expert here. I can check ordinary antiques myself.”

Chen Dongxu thought that there was no need for experts to check this garbage at all. He added, “I’m a few years older than you, and I know more about antiques. You have to be careful at first, or you may be cheated and end up buying the fake ones.”

“But young people like you, who always take our country into consideration, are good examples for us.”

Qin Haodong was puzzled but then realized that the director did not believe that his Animal Heads were real.

He asked Zhang Tieniu and the others to put the boxes in front of Chen Dongxu and then opened them one by one, without saying a word. It was useless to argue with him.

As the director of the Huaxia Museum, Chen Dongxu knew something about antiques. He was of course not an expert, but he knew whether an ordinary antique was genuine or not from the first glance.

He didn’t take them seriously at first and took a snake head out from the box. But when he checked it through, he became serious. The snake head in his hand was perfect and he couldn’t find any flaws.

He was surprised and thought that fake antiques looked so real now.

Then he took out another bull head and checked it carefully. There was also a bull head here in the Huaxia Museum. He checked it for a long time and found that they were identical and there was no difference at all.

Then he looked at the other four sculpted heads, one by one, but still could not find any flaws.

At this time, he didn’t dare to look down on these antiques anymore. He said to a secretary next to him, “Xiao Liu, ask Dr. Shi to come here.”

Shi Jianying was the chief appraisal expert of the Huaxia Museum.

Secretary Liu said, “Director, you forgot that Dr. Shi is hosting an expert exchange meeting right now.”

Chen Dongxu said, “Oh yes, I forgot about that. Hurry and invite all the experts in the meeting to come over here. There’s something important that they need to look at.”

“Okay, Director, please wait for a minute.”

Secretary Liu turned around and left. Chen Dongxu began to check the Animal Heads once again. But he still couldn’t find any flaws.

About seven or eight minutes later, they heard hurried footsteps and Secretary Liu came over with a dozen people behind her.

The leader was Shi Jianying, chief appraisal expert of the Huaxia Museum. The others behind him were also experts from all over the country. They came to the capital for a meeting.

Chen Dongxu stepped forward and said, “These are the six sculpted heads, will the experts please check them out.”

“Little Qin!”

“Brother Qin!”

Two men stepped out of the group with surprised cries. One was Liu Qigong, the professor of cultural appraisal at the University of Shanghai and the other was Guo Feng, the director of the Jiangnan Antique Appraisal Center.

Qin Haodong was also surprised to see them. He immediately walked forward and greeted them enthusiastically.

Liu Qigong said, “I haven’t seen you for a long time. Why are you here in the capital? Su Hui was not happy since you left and please call her whenever you’re available.”

Qin Haodong didn’t know how to deal with Su Hui. He had been messing around with too many girls recently and didn’t dare to get involved with this little girl. So he left Shanghai without even saying goodbye.

Guo Feng took Qin Haodong’s hand and said excitedly, “Brother Qin, we haven’t seen each other for a long time. What a coincidence!”

Chen Dongxu came over and said, “I didn’t expect that the two of you know Mr. Qin. Mr. Qin is a promising young man and all these six sculpted heads were donated by him. Please have a check.”

Now his impression of Qin Haodong had completely changed. He had thought that he was just a good-for-nothing rich man who was stupid and innocent. But he was wrong and this was not the case at all.

Guo Feng asked, “Director Chen, did Brother Qin donate all the six sculpted heads?”

Chen Dongxu nodded and said, “Yes!”

The sheep head was handed over to the Museum of Overseas Chinese by Guo Feng some time ago, so Chen Dongxu respected him greatly.

Guo Feng said, “If all of them were donated by Brother Qin, there’s no need to identify them. They must be real.”

“What...”

Chen Dongxu was dumbfounded. If this was not a free donation, he would really think that Guo Feng had been hired by Qin Haodong.

Seeing his expression, Guo Feng explained, “Director Chen, Brother Qin is a doctor, but he is proficient at antique appraisal and I’m no match for him.

“The sheep head I donated some time ago was won by Brother Qin from the Japanese. He’s the actual donor.”

Everyone present looked at Qin Haodong with awe after learning that the sheep head had been donated by him. Anyone who donated such antiques which were worth tens of millions of yuan to the country for free, was admirable.

Chen Dongxu said with embarrassment, “But Mr. Qin is donating six Animal Heads and we already have eight here in our museum. There’s one in T Island. So there must be three fake sculpted heads, right?”

Guo Feng said without hesitation, “I believe that the six Animal Heads donated by Brother Qin must be real.”

“Director Guo, let’s do the appraisal first.”

It was Shi Jianying who spoke. If Qin Haodong’s Animal Heads were real, there must be at least two sculpted heads stored here that were fake, which indicated that he, the chief appraisal expert was not a professional at all.

Qin Haodong said, “No problem. Just feel free to check them.”

When they heard what he said, all the experts present took out their magnifying glasses and white gloves and began to evaluate the six Animal Heads carefully.

Qin Haodong didn’t care about it at all. He sat next to Ye Qing and chatted with her while drinking tea. After half an hour, the experts had done a thorough check on all the six Animal Heads.

Chen Dongxu asked, “How’s it going? What’s the final result?”

Shi Jianying licked his dry lips and said with some difficulty, “Director, the initial identification results show that there are no flaws in these six Animal Heads. They are very likely to be the genuine ones.”

Even though he did not want to admit it, but they could not find any flaws in these six bronze heads. He could not lie.

Liu Qigong said, “We need special tools to further evaluate them and find out whether they are fake.

“But one thing is certain. Even if these six Animal Heads are fake, they are definitely valuable.”

When he heard what they said, Chen Dongxu did not dare to make any hasty decisions. He said to Qin Haodong awkwardly, “Mr. Qin, we need to do a further examination to confirm if they are real or fake.”

Qin Haodong said, “It doesn’t matter. Anyway, I’ve donated these Animal Heads to your museum. Can I have a look at the other sculpted heads first?”
