Chapter 737: Discovering a Fake Again
Upon hearing what Gu Xue said, Director Hu was furious, his eyes sharp: "Guxue, you are the director of the museum!"
This is a clear accusation that ancient studies have turned their backs on others.
Gu Xue was also in a particularly bad mood. Faced with Director Hu's anger, for the first time he did not choose to back down, but instead faced him head-on.
He pointed at a tiny spot on the heel of the colorful horse and said angrily, "Look carefully at this logo! This is clearly a teaching aid our museum made based on the real thing!"
The so-called teaching aids are actually one-to-one replicas given to volunteers or rented to archaeology schools.
To avoid confusion, museums usually print a very small logo in a hidden place on teaching aids to distinguish them.
This sign is extremely hidden, and is usually slightly adjusted according to the cultural relic itself, striving to make it appear as if there is no sign. Generally, only museum staff can distinguish it.
This sign is like that.
Song Zhishu relied entirely on his own eyesight to distinguish the authenticity, while Guxue relied entirely on this mark.
When Director Hu saw the sign, his already ugly face turned even darker.
He seemed to be extremely angry, so much so that his entire face turned slightly red: "Hu Xing, get over here!"
When Yang Fan heard the teacher call Hu Xing, he reacted the fastest. Like a hunting dog hearing a whistle, he rushed out and grabbed Hu Xing who was about to run away: "Master, Hu Xing is here!"
Hu Xing was dragged over staggeringly, his face pale, his small eyes revealing the guilt he felt.
Gu Xue seemed to have seen something dirty. He glanced at it and then looked away. There was some condemnation in his eyes when he looked at Director Hu again.
In order to ensure the smooth opening of the museum, he took the initiative to step aside and handed over the affairs of the museum to Director Hu.
Although Director Hu is arrogant and tough, he has strong professional qualities and handles the affairs of the museum in an orderly manner. In this regard, Gu Xue admits that he is not as good as him.
But there is only one thing: I hate ancient studies extremely.
That is, Director Hu appoints people based on personal connections.
His nephew has only been to formal school for a few days, but he is very good at causing trouble.
He used to be a worker in a steel mill, but he looked down on the iron rice bowl that others could hardly get.
Although he had no skills, he was very ambitious and begged Director Hu to find him a job in the museum.
He had no academic qualifications and knew nothing about cultural relics, so Director Hu only assigned him to the logistics department as a team leader.
But even such a job is full of loopholes and contradictions.
Many employees reported that Hu Xing gave blind orders, was careless and sloppy in his work, and was suspected of being a hooligan towards female employees.
Director Hu was cleaning up his nephew's mess all day long. Gu Xue saw it and wanted to remind him.
Unexpectedly, Director Hu rejected the suggestion as "meddling".
In order to ensure the smooth opening of the museum, the Ancient Studies Department had no choice but to endure it, as Hu Xing only dared to use some small tricks that were not worthy of public display.
I never expected that Hu Xing would make such a big mistake and exhibit teaching aids as authentic ones!
Director Hu looked at his nephew, and considering that there were outsiders present, he put on a forced smile and asked him, suppressing his anger, if he was confused.
Hu Xing was stunned at first, but after realizing what was happening, he didn't act like a scapegoat and shirk the blame as usual. Instead, he slapped his forehead and said in frustration, "I made a mistake. I'm sorry. I'll change it right away!"
After saying that, he turned around and ran towards the warehouse.
Yang Fan understood and was extremely disgusted with Hu Xing for making mistakes repeatedly, but because the teacher was present, he did not lose his temper on the spot.
He was afraid that Hu Xing might carelessly damage the cultural relics, so he followed him with concern.
Gu Xuezhe thanked Ye Rou and his group in a sincere tone.
He was really grateful to Ye Rou and her group.
Many professionals were invited to the museum's opening, and these details would not escape their eyes.
If they point it out, it will become a huge joke.
fortunately……
Obviously, Director Hu also figured it out. Although he was reluctant, he thanked Ye Rou and his group, and apologized for his previous ridicule of Song Zhishu.
Ye Rou was thinking about something and didn't respond to what the two curators said.
Zheng Zhiyuan took over the conversation and exchanged pleasantries with the two curators.
"I'm sorry, everyone, I'm late!" A bright and gentle voice sounded.
Facing the display board, Tang Panxia, who was admiring the gems, felt her back stiffen.
She didn't look back, appearing to be looking at the cultural relics, but in fact her attention had long been distracted.
Ji Chunming had a sudden meeting and rushed over. He was afraid that Ye Rou and her group had already finished the tour and left, but he didn't expect that they were still there.
He breathed a sigh of relief, his eyes fixed on the beautiful figure.
I haven't seen her for a long time and noticed that Tang Panxia had cut her hair short.
Tang Panxia has a small face, and after cutting her hair short, her facial features look more delicate, which is more suitable for her than long hair.
Ji Chunming was fascinated by it for a moment and couldn't take his eyes off it for a long time.
Tang Panxia felt uncomfortable at first, and hurriedly took Ye Rou's hand and went to the calligraphy and painting exhibition area next door. Only then did Ji Chunming come back to his senses.
Noticing the two curators were there, he stepped forward and greeted them: "Director Gu, I'm sorry, I'm late because of a last-minute meeting."
Ancient scholars are not people who strive for perfection, but on the most important day of the museum opening, mistakes happened one after another and the mood was not good.
Facing Ji Chunming, he forced a smile and said, "Principal Ji, we are very busy at the library. Please forgive us for any inadequacies in our hospitality."
Ji Chunming noticed that the atmosphere was not right, but he was tactful enough not to ask any further questions and turned around to look at the cultural relics.
But he was not paying close attention and kept glancing at the calligraphy and painting exhibition area.
He knew nothing about cultural relics and the only reason he came to join in the fun was to meet Tang Panxia.
Just when I was thinking of going to the calligraphy and painting exhibition area to find Tang Panxia, I saw Tang Panxia and Ye Rou walking out of the exhibition area together.
Ji Chunming was delighted and was about to hurry up to meet them, but he saw that the two men looked a little strange.
Ye Rou's eyes were extremely cold, and she was obviously angry.
Tang Panxia carefully supported Ye Rou. Although she hid it well, Ji Chunming still caught a hint of confusion on her face.
Obviously, she didn't know why Ye Rou suddenly got angry.
Ji Chunming guessed this correctly.
Tang Panxia really didn't know what was going on.
She dragged Ye Rou to see calligraphy and paintings just to avoid Ji Chunming.
As soon as you enter the calligraphy and painting exhibition area, the most eye-catching thing is the calligraphy and painting by Wang Xizhi.
It was the calligraphy and painting that Ye Rou had accidentally collected from an antique stall, given to her grandfather, and then lent to Director Gu.
There were a lot of people gathered around the painting. Tang Panxia didn't understand calligraphy and painting, but after hearing people around her praising it, she came closer to take a look.
Just as she was looking at it, the silent Ye Rou's face suddenly changed drastically, and she blurted out, "What is this?"
The person admiring the calligraphy was speechless when she asked, "Of course it's an authentic work by Mr. Wang Xizhi, the famous calligrapher from the Eastern Jin Dynasty, known as the 'Sage of Calligraphy'!"
“I didn’t expect that the Beijing Museum actually had an authentic painting.”
"Just for this painting, today's trip is worth it."
…
Passersby praised it one after another.
Tang Panxia sensed something was wrong and looked at Ye Rou.
Xiaorou temporarily loaned this calligraphy and painting to the museum, so naturally she knew what it was.
Why did Xiaorou suddenly ask that question?
Before she could figure it out, Ye Rou, with a gloomy expression, pulled her out of the crowd and headed out of the calligraphy and painting gallery.
Everyone also noticed that Ye Rou's face looked strange. Just as they were about to ask, they saw Ye Rou walking towards the two curators.
At this moment, Gu Xue and Yang Fan carefully brought back the authentic terracotta figurines and replaced them at an extremely fast speed.
After confirming that it was authentic, Gu Xue breathed a sigh of relief.
He looked at Director Hu and said in a particularly serious tone: "The opening is over, let's hold an internal meeting."
Director Hu knew what he was going to say, but it was indeed his nephew who did something wrong, so even though he was reluctant, he still agreed.
When Gu Xue saw that he agreed, his anger subsided a little.
Suddenly, Ye Rou's voice sounded behind him, extremely cold, like a raging winter wind.
"Director Gu, I want an explanation."
Ancient studies do not understand why they turned around.
Because Gu Xue was my grandfather's junior, and because his behavior of protecting cultural relics was respectable, Ye Rou always respected him.
This was the first time Gu Xue saw Ye Rou angry.
She is very beautiful, extremely beautiful, with a pair of beautiful eyes, very cold.
The air was as heavy as wet cotton mixed with water, making it hard to breathe.
Gu Xue Zhengjue was choking when she asked, "Director Gu, please explain why the original Wang Xizhi painting that my grandfather loaned to your museum is actually a fake?"
