Gu Zeyi and Ye Mingshi were also there. Gu Zeyi first introduced the others in the room: "This is Mu Jin and Jiu Maomao."
Several formally dressed people stood up, bowed to the two of them, and said, "Hello."
Their etiquette was too formal, so the cat simply nodded.
Mu Jin stepped forward and shook hands with a younger man, saying, "Yamashita Shiki."
The man named Yamashita seemed very happy. He and Mu Jin must have known each other for a long time. He smiled and said, "Mu Jin, it's been ten years. I'm very happy to see you again. This time, we can finally cooperate for once."
Mu Jin replied, "Shanxiazhi, the Antique Association specially formed a team to welcome you, and the team leader is her, Jiu Maomao."
As Mu Jin spoke, she gently pulled the cat closer.
Yamashita looked at the cat with surprise! He seemed unaware of this arrangement beforehand, because he knew that the most likely person to be the captain of the Antique Association was Mu Jin, and even if it wasn't Mu Jin, he was familiar with the other people.
But he never expected it to be a completely new face.
What surprised him even more was that he recognized the cat! Wasn't this the Chinese superstar who was also very popular in Japan recently?
After a brief moment of surprise, he politely extended his hand to Maomao, "Hello, Miss Maomao, I've heard your songs, they're very beautiful. I never expected we'd meet like this. It seems you must be a very special star."
Before the cat could even reach out, Mu Jin had already naturally pushed her to sit down and slipped a glass of juice into her hand, saying, "Have something to drink. Weren't you thirsty?"
The cat wanted to say she wasn't thirsty, but she still took a sip from the cup before saying to Yamashita, "Hello, welcome."
These people were part of an exchange group from Japan, consisting of six people in total.
Yamashita didn't find it strange. He sat down and said with emotion, "The last time I came to China was ten years ago. My grandfather was still alive then. He was very fond of this place. This time, I'm here again with his wishes. I think this will be a very meaningful exchange."
Gu Zeyi said, "That's true. However, this matter will ultimately be conducted through a competition. I'm curious, why did you reject the competition proposal put forward by the Antique Association?"
They had previously proposed a competition in an official letter, but the Yamashita family rejected it without giving a reason.
Just as Yamashita was about to speak, he suddenly seemed to remember something and said, "If I remember correctly, there should be a young master from the Song family in your team. Why isn't he here?"
Yamashita Shige was clearly unaware of how transparent Song Sifan's status was among them.
When he asked that question, of course no one knew! They certainly didn't care whether Song Sifan was alive or dead.
Ye Mingshi smiled and said politely, "Don't worry about it. Song Sifan likes to be late. Let's talk first."
When Yamashita glanced at Ye Ming with slight surprise, his impression of Song Sifan immediately soured. There was actually someone who liked to be late? He cared a lot about whether others were punctual, and Song Sifan's punctuality was truly a bad quality.
Yamashita Ichi didn't express his displeasure. Just as he was about to answer Gu Zeyi's question, the door to the room was pushed open.
The person who walked in was none other than Song Sifan, who "liked to be late".
Song Sifan greeted the members of the Japanese exchange group naturally, "Hello, I am Song Sifan."
Since no one introduced him, Song Sifan naturally introduced himself.
Yamashita Shige also bowed to him, "Greetings, Young Master Song, I am Yamashita Shige."
Yamashita Shige could speak Chinese, though his accent was a bit heavy. He glanced at Song Sifan and thought, "Young Master Song is so handsome, it's a pity he's always late..."
After Song Sifan sat down, she explained, "I'm sorry, something came up at the company and I'm late."
As he spoke, Song Sifan glanced at the cat, his gaze quite pointed! The reason he was late was because he was cooperating with the police investigation into the loss of the Luban Box.
The cat remained calm, completely blocking Song Sifan's view.
Yamashita continued, "Young Master Song, we were just discussing the main method of our exchange. Your arrival is timely, as what I have to say concerns you."
