Robert organized a cocktail party and invited all the wealthy businessmen who had recently arrived in China.

It is said that they are all wealthy businessmen with assets worth tens of millions in their home country, and their families have been in business for generations, with a deep foundation.

Among the many middle-aged and elderly people, there was only one young man in his thirties.

While everyone else was arrogant, he appeared humble, polite, and warm-hearted.

Jiang Ning soon learned that his name was Ross.

She couldn't help but think of a report she had read in her previous life, which described the low-profile Ross family. They operated discreetly, investing globally and accumulating wealth exceeding a hundred billion dollars.

This young man named Ross was probably sent out by his family for training.

Today, Jiang Ning specially wore a Chinese-style cheongsam and had her hair up. As soon as she entered the party, she attracted a lot of attention.

Ross, in particular, immediately showed admiration in his eyes when he first saw the Eastern beauty.

"Hello, my name is Ross, this is my first time in China." He raised his wine glass and shook hands with Jiang Ning.

"Hello." Jiang Ning shook his hand lightly and naturally.

The two started chatting.

They chatted about the current state of trade and life here, and had a very pleasant conversation.

Halfway through the party, Jiang Ning tapped her glass with a spoon, drawing everyone's attention.

"Hello everyone, I'm Robert's friend. It's a pleasure to meet you all here today. I've heard that many of you are interested in Chinese culture. I happen to have some calligraphy and paintings by famous people, as well as porcelain and antiques from ancient China. I wonder if any of you are interested?"

Rose, standing next to her, was the first to raise her glass.

“If Miss Jiang is willing, I would like to pay a visit to your residence.”

The old guys immediately became interested when they heard there were antiques.

They expressed their desire to see it for themselves.

At that time, there was no antique craze in China, and some porcelain vases were easy to acquire.

But for these foreigners who are interested in Chinese culture, they can only go to the antique street to find it themselves.

Antique Street is a mixed bag, and you might get scammed.

They heard that Jiang Ning's family had antiques, and they were all eager to get their hands on them.

"Okay, I'll call home and tell them to get ready so we can visit anytime."

Jiang Ning raised her glass and drank with everyone.

Soon, she called Wang Xiufen and told her that a group of people would be coming to her house to look at the antiques.

They were all a group of blond foreigners; I was afraid of scaring them if I went over without saying hello.

Upon hearing this, Wang Xiufen immediately sent Ji Min to the next room and asked Grandpa Ji to take care of her for the time being.

"What happened at home? Do you need any help?" Grandpa Ji asked with concern, seeing Wang Xiufen's anxious and flustered appearance.

She smiled faintly, "Ningning said she wanted to take a group of old men to see antiques, so I'm going to get things ready for her."

When Jiang Ning bought this courtyard house, she didn't haggle over the price at all; what she was interested in was the antiques in the entire study.

The original homeowner was an antique enthusiast who had collected a lot of calligraphy, paintings, antiques, as well as jade and porcelain vases. Since they were going abroad, they couldn't take them with them, so they simply left them behind.

After buying the house, Jiang Ning kept the layout of the study and didn't touch the collection inside. She only came to clean it occasionally to remove the dust.

An hour later, two cars were parked in front of the courtyard house.

A dozen or so people got out of the car and were welcomed into the courtyard by Jiang Ning.

Wang Xiufen welcomed them with a smile and led them to the study.

Everyone was stunned when they saw the collection inside.

Several landscape paintings hang on the wall, depicting beautiful scenery full of poetry and charm, which can calm the mind and make people linger.

The scrolls that have been put away include works by famous artists such as Zhang Daqian and Qi Baishi.

Bo Gu's collection includes porcelain items such as a blue and white porcelain jade vase, a celadon double-dragon-handled flower pot, and a jade imperial enamel peony bowl in rouge purple.

There is also a royal-made gilt bronze Vajrabhairava tripod, which is dazzling and particularly eye-catching.

"This is really good stuff! It's much better than what I saw at Panjiayuan," someone exclaimed.

Some people even inquired about the price, asking Jiang Ning if she could part with it.

“These things were passed down from our ancestors, and each piece is priceless. However, some of the calligraphy and paintings on the wall can be sold,” Jiang Ning said with a smile, politely declining.

I brought them here just to tempt them.

Ross admired each piece in his collection, marveling at them repeatedly.

"I never imagined you possessed so many treasures. People in our country are particularly interested in Chinese civilization, and I believe these items can fetch a good price. If you'd like, I can invest in your antique business and engage in export trade."

Jiang Ning, who was knowledgeable about national policies, smiled and said, "You can keep these antiques for your personal collection, but you can't export them. However, you can make them into works of art and sell them."

Ross thought it was a good idea.

If enamel vases like those were reproduced and made into works of art, I believe many people would be willing to pay for them.

After the tour, Ross stayed behind to discuss with Jiang Ning the feasibility of turning antiques into works of art.

The two also agreed to hold an antique exhibition in half a month, and select the most popular antiques by public voting, and try to turn them into works of art.

As Lin Chen was seeing Ross off, he was just returning home with the twins when he saw a foreign man waving goodbye to Jiang Ning. He immediately felt a surge of jealousy.

He left the child with his grandmother, then dragged Jiang Ning to the backyard, closed the door, and pinned her to the bed.

"Tell me honestly, who was that man just now?"

Jiang Ning smiled mysteriously: "I won't tell you."

Her words enraged Lin Chen. He placed his hand on her body and scratched her armpit through her clothes, saying, "See how I deal with you!"

Jiang Ning felt a tickle and couldn't stop laughing, punching his chest with her fist.

"Okay, you always pull this trick, it's so itchy. He's a client introduced by Robert. We're planning an antique exhibition, and by the way, we only have two weeks. You have to help me out."

Lin Chen breathed a sigh of relief when she told him that the man was just a client, but his expression remained cold and stern.

"If you want my help, beg me!"

"How do I ask?" Jiang Ning chuckled.

Lin Chen slipped his hand inside her clothes and kissed her. "Of course."

After a tender moment, the two got dressed and went to have dinner.

I heard that Jiang Ning is going to hold an antique exhibition to attract customers, and I think it's worth a try.

Anyway, the goal now is to try to save ourselves and we must not let Li Jiabao defeat us.

Li Jiabao was just one person, but they were a group of people.

Over the next few days, Jiang Ning found a library lobby to use as the venue for the exhibition.

Gao Baoliang designed a glass display case to hold the exhibits.

Lin Chen purchased some small LED beads to serve as a light source for the exhibits, thereby improving their visibility.

After more than ten days of hard work, the exhibition hall was finally set up.

Jiang Ning found someone to pack the first batch of exhibits one by one into foam boxes, transport them to the site, and put them into the display cases.
