As he spoke, Director Zhang took the box and pushed it in front of Zhang Long, gesturing for him to open it and take a look.

He then pointed upwards with his finger, the meaning of which was self-evident!

Looking at the exquisitely packaged box in front of him, Zhang Long couldn't help but feel a little excited.

Carefully remove the latch from the box and gently open it.

What comes into view is a delicate and exquisite porcelain piece, with a brightly colored national emblem inside.

"This, this, this..."

Even though he was mentally prepared, he was still somewhat stunned.

After all, these things are usually given as gifts to foreign guests, aren't they?

Although it's not top-tier porcelain meant for foreign heads of state, it's still quite rare.

After all, it bears the national emblem, and the meaning of giving it to outsiders is quite different from giving it to one's own people.

Seeing how much Zhang Long loved it, even Director Zhang was very envious.

She said softly, "The higher-ups knew you didn't like to be in the limelight, so they changed your reward to a physical one. This is the reward. Surprised? Excited?"

However, he himself did not notice the strong sourness in his tone.

However, Zhang Long didn't care about this issue at the moment. Normally, he would have given him a few words back no matter how high or low he was.

Zhang Long decided to cherish this precious gem in his hands.

Although he will also receive it when his father-in-law gets promoted, this is a reward given to him based on his own merits, so how can it be the same?

He was still a little excited, even a tiny bit happier than when he owned the dragon robe.

Zhang Long opened and looked through the certificates, and after confirming that they were all genuine, he casually stuffed the certificates into the drawer.

Then, he carefully put the precious porcelain back into the box and placed it very solemnly on the shelf behind him.

Suddenly, he touched his chin and felt that the shelf in front of him was a bit monotonous. He thought he would pick out some of the more valuable ones from the pile of antique bottles and put this jar in the center.

Seeing that the matter was completed, Director Zhang prepared to get up and take his leave.

After everyone had left for a while, Zhang Long suddenly remembered something. He walked over quickly and called out to Director Zhang just as he was about to reach the elevator.

"Old Zhang, Old Zhang!"

"Wait a minute, I need to talk to you about something!"

Director Zhang paused upon hearing this, turned his head and saw Zhang Long walking quickly towards him, a look of confusion on his face.

"Ahem, well, it's like this, aren't my two dragon robes and phoenix robes being maintained and repaired at your museum?"

"Since the museum is so powerful, could I have a 1:1 replica made to fit my body?"

"Since you understand the auspicious meaning, of course I can't wear these ancient clothes. Modern replicas shouldn't be too much of a problem, right?"

Upon hearing this, Director Zhang raised an eyebrow and a slight smile appeared on his lips.

The meaning is self-evident.

"Ahem, that original can be exhibited in a museum for a year, and I'll offer 2 million as the price for a custom order."

In the past, this price would have been far from enough, but now that 3D printing technology is so advanced, this price is more than enough to process a modern craft item. The extra can be donated to a museum.

Director Zhang nodded with satisfaction. This price wouldn't be enough for anyone else, but Zhang Long was an exception.

"Okay, no problem. Since you've asked, Mr. Zhang, I'll give you that much face."

"It's settled then. I'll ask Master Wang to expedite this for you when I get back. It might take a few months."

Zhang Long waved his hands repeatedly and said with a smile, "It's nothing, it's nothing!"

"You can do it when you're done with your current tasks. I'm not in a rush."

"I know your museum is very busy lately, so I won't invite you to stay for dinner!"

"Bye-Bye!"

After the matter was settled, Director Zhang did not stay long this time and left immediately.

After news reports about the return of the dragon head, wealthy and leisurely people from all over the country flocked to Shanghai. Now, tickets for high-speed rail and airfares are extremely hard to come by, and even highways are very congested.

These people came to the Shanghai Museum to see the legendary dragon head, a historical artifact representing the humiliation of the country's past. Now that it has finally returned, it is undoubtedly great news.

Director Zhang has indeed been extremely busy lately. The museum has been packed every day, which has put pressure on its peers, especially museums in Beijing.

Unlike the radiant Director Zhang, the other directors here also had flushed faces, but they were furious and quite agitated.

Those visitors who rushed into the museum immediately had their eyes widen when they saw the dragon head.

"Hey, dragon heads? Wait, why are there two?"

Looking at the donors below, wow, they were all donated by the same person!

However, the only name listed in the donor column was Mr. Zhang, which only made people more curious.

Some bored people even launched a reward on Weibo to find out who this Mr. Zhang is.

This topic quickly rose to the top of the trending searches, but was soon removed, which undoubtedly indicated that the authorities had taken action.

They didn't want to reveal themselves, which is why they chose to donate anonymously. Now, you're going against the natural order!

This wave of enthusiasm lasted for a month and a half. Just when it had finally subsided, the National Day holiday arrived again in less than two weeks!

Yes, the number of people has exploded!

Director Zhang is experiencing both pain and pleasure; in any case, he's won big this time, like Qin Shi Huang touching an electric gate.

Zhang Long hasn't been paying attention to the messy things outside lately, because the traffic outside is extremely congested. So he's been staying home with his girlfriend, sorting through the haul they brought back from abroad.

It took the two of them several days to sort out all the bottles and jars and clean up what needed to be cleaned.

Now, the previously somewhat empty vault is suddenly filled.

Even Hu Xinxin has recently learned a lot from those master appraisers.

The two had a clear division of labor. Zhang Long was responsible for sorting the coins, which he was very familiar with. However, this time, he felt that something was a little unusual.

Last time he was abroad, he simply handled a few copper coins and packed them up without examining them closely.

He picked out the coins that seemed a bit off and set them aside to study later when he had time.

He also selected some beautifully crafted coins to keep for himself.

The valuable items and the worthless items were sorted out, and they will be maintained and then packaged later.

The first chapter is just finished. I had some unexpected things to do these past few days, so the update will be a little late.
