Chapter 111

A total romantic fool.

However.

When the answers of the three people reached Gu Lao, Gu Lao pointed to one of the papers and asked, "Whose is this?"

"It's Shu Xia's, the young girl among the three. Gu Lao, her speed at identifying the real from the fake was too fast. At first, we even suspected she was cheating, but the items we use for interviews are changed every time; no one could know the answers in advance. She actually managed to pick out all the fakes we mixed in," the man said, his tone full of shock.

Gu Lao was also shocked.

Gu Cheng was also shocked; he knew Shu Xia was capable, but he hadn't thought Shu Xia would be this capable!

He blinked his peach-blossom eyes, and then laughed, "Hahaha."

Gu Lao looked at the smugly laughing Gu Cheng, his face darkening slightly, but his eyes held anticipation and excitement. "The young girl has a good eye; she must study authentic pieces often. Let them go straight to restoration."

"I have already arranged for them to restore the Blue and White Porcelain," the man replied.

Gu Lao nodded. "Have them also restore some Ancient Painting. Don't we have a few fragmented Ancient Painting on hand? Take them to be restored. They don't need to restore all of them; just have them restore a portion according to the requirements to see their skill."

The most important thing was to see that young girl's skill.

From his youth until now, besides Zhong Jiejie, there was no one else he truly admired from the bottom of his heart; he had learned much of his own ability from Zhong Jiejie.

It was a pity that Zhong Jiejie never took on apprentices, and in recent years, she had disappeared without a trace; he didn't know where she had gone.

He didn't know if it was an illusion, but looking back, the firmness and decisiveness in the young girl's eyes when she was identifying the real from the fake really did look a bit like Zhong Jiejie.

Gu Cheng felt much more confident now.

His eyes remained fixed on Shu Xia in the surveillance feed.

The more he watched, the more fascinated he became.

He really liked Shu Xia; from the first moment he saw her working seriously on restoration, it seemed his heart had suddenly been moved.

Thinking about how he spent his days just playing with motorcycles and extreme sports, he suddenly felt he wasn't good enough for her.

A seed began to sprout in his heart.

He was going to start transforming!

From the surveillance, one could clearly see that Shu Xia was extremely focused and professional while restoring.

And she was very quick with her hands.

Actually, the portion given to them to restore wasn't much; it was impossible for them to restore for a whole day.

But it still took two or three hours in total.

If it were before, if someone had asked Gu Cheng to watch how people restored these old things, he wouldn't have been able to pay attention at all; watching that was worse than watching someone skydive.

But now, he couldn't bear to look away for even a second.

Before, when he was at Zhang Dechun's shop, he couldn't keep staring at Shu Xia, otherwise Zhang Dechun would definitely scold him.

Gu Lao was also watching very seriously, and the more he watched, the more excited he became. He even had the people in the surveillance room zoom in the camera to specifically watch how Shu Xia restored it step by step.

One old and one young, they watched with extreme focus.

The security guard standing by in the surveillance room also looked over.

He didn't understand what was so good about staring at this; it was too dull and boring. However, that girl's hands were truly beautiful—white and slender.

At this moment, Shu Xia had no idea that her every move was being watched by others.

After completing the final step.

She stood up to wash her hands.

This time, she was the first to finish again.

However, because of their previous experience, the other two people were no longer in a hurry; that young girl was just grandstanding. There was no need to look at what she had restored to know that she had likely done a terrible job.

Shu Xia did not sit down, but instead came to the window and quietly looked at the scenery outside.

She glanced at her wristwatch; it was already twelve-thirty.
