World Tibet Bureau

Chapter 516 Fire
Everyone already knows that we will present twelve treasures at Mr. Xu’s retirement symposium for the symposium members to appreciate.

The old manager's hands and eyes were all over the place, so he must have gotten the news.

He will definitely come today!
Lu Cenyin is well-known in the Jinling antique circle. She has often appeared on the treasure appraisal column in the past. Most people in the conference room knew her and greeted her with a smile, which showed the girl's excellent popularity.

Lu Cenyin responded to everyone cordially and gracefully.

"Miss Cen Yin, long time no see!"

"Professor Hu, you look more and more energetic."

"Boss Lu, I heard that you prepared a unique gift for Mr. Xu this time. Can you let us open our eyes first?"

"I didn't prepare it, Su Chen prepared it for Mr. Xu!"

"Isn't this different? Mr. Su and you are both family!"

Everyone laughed happily.

Hearing this, Lu Cenyin blushed slightly, clasped her hands together, and replied politely and slightly shyly: "Boss Zhong is teasing me again."

The person who made fun of us was Mr. Zhong, the owner of Yaxiang Embroidery.

This person was also a member of the expert team when he tried to replace the gilt doll with a gold Japanese fan in the Jianghu goods market. He was also a member of the expert team when he identified the objects involved in the Baoguxuan fraud case. He has had many contacts and is relatively familiar with us.

After sitting down.

I looked around carefully at the people around me.

I tried to consider the problem from the perspective of the old manager, but after thinking about it for a long time, I still didn’t know how and in what capacity he would come to see me.

Will there be an old manager in the conference room?

Or.

In fact, we have already met each other?
Find the true Buddha among all living beings.

It's indeed a very interesting thing.

As time went by, Lu Cenyin became nervous and kept holding on to me.

I told her to calm down with my eyes.

Maybe she saw my firm expression and her mood gradually softened.

It's exactly eight o'clock.

No one was seen.

Hear the sound first.

A burst of laughter came from outside the conference room.

Two people who looked like leaders were walking on both sides of Mr. Xu. They were laughing and chatting as they walked, and they all entered the conference room.

Mr. Xu looked energetic, energetic, smiling, and exuded an aura of calmness, magnanimity, wisdom and elegance.

When everyone saw Mr. Xu coming, they all stood up from their seats and began to applaud spontaneously.

The applause was very warm.

The atmosphere was contagious.

Although everyone did not speak, they all expressed their respect and admiration for this proud figure in the Jinling antique world through their applause.

Under the applause, seeing so many old friends, Mr. Xu may have been deeply moved. His eyes were wet, and he wanted to wave to everyone to stop several times, but everyone still applauded.

Without any choice.

Mr. Xu had no choice but to bow deeply to all around him with an expression of great gratitude.

There is quite a bit of a sense of déjà vu as the crosstalk actors thank the audience for their final moments.

After a while.

The applause finally stopped.

The leader-looking person next to Mr. Xu walked to the podium in the northeast corner and waved everyone to sit down. His speech was very concise and concise. He smiled and said to everyone: "According to Teacher Xu's explanation, I am not allowed to speak to him today. Instead of giving boring experience introductions and achievement presentations, I can only serve as a symposium host!"

"I would rather obey my orders than you are respectful! Now, let's start the first agenda of the meeting. Please ask Teacher Xu to give his retirement speech!"

Everyone laughed.

Mr. Xu took the microphone.

"Xu also followed President Wu's concise and concise speech style. My retirement speech today only has eight words: Thank you to JJTU, thank you to your relatives and friends! Let's start drinking tea and chatting!"

The crowd laughed again.

Principal Wu said: "Let's move on to the second agenda item and the symposium begins!"

Mr. Xu formally took his seat.After he sat down, he was obviously looking for us with his eyes.

We were on opposite corners of the round table from him.

After Mr. Xu saw Lu Cenyin and me, his eyes were filled with the kindness and appreciation of the elders.

The symposium started in an extremely harmonious atmosphere.

The talkativeness of these experts and scholars was beyond my imagination. They talked about everything from past experiences to literary and artistic theories to antique appreciation, and even astronomy, geography, information technology, and national affairs.

Lu Cenyin and I seemed a little out of place in the conference room.

It’s not that we are uneducated and cannot understand.

I really am not good at eloquence.

I was thinking that if Xia Xi were here today, he would be able to blend in very well.

During this period.

I never stopped observing the attendees.

But no one was found to be abnormal.

In addition to these people participating in the symposium, a total of three groups of people came in from outside.

The first two waitresses came in to refill everyone's teacups.The second group were three people who looked like student reporters. They had been licensing and filming the symposium in the corner. They were expected to make a CD after the meeting and give it to Mr. Xu.The third group was a field staff member. One of the microphones suddenly lost sound and he came in to fix it.

Are there any old managers among these three groups of people?
I don't think it's very likely.

My eyes were fixed on the venue, but my heart was waiting extremely anxiously.

Waiting for that character and the final answer to appear.

The one and a half hour discussion is over.

Everyone still seemed to be unsatisfied.

Mr. Xu decisively ended the topic and whispered something in Principal Wu's ear.

After hearing this, Principal Wu stood up, picked up the microphone and said to everyone: "Everyone! It's time for a free talk! That's it for today's discussion! Now let's move on to the last item on the agenda of the meeting. Let us give warm applause to Mr. Su. Everyone brought many treasures for appreciation, which brought a wonderful ending to the evening!"

The crowd applauded.

Mr. Xu stood up with a face full of joy and a smile, and called us to come to him.

Lu Cenyin picked up the large suitcase under the table.

But right now.

Accident happened!
Mr. Cui suddenly hurried in from the conference room. His expression was very bad. He walked to Mr. Xu and said, "Mr. Xu, there was a sudden fire at home. Ouyang Shanwen and your daughter Bai Wei may have..."

The meeting room is not big.

Everyone was waiting quietly for the box to be opened.

Everyone heard Mr. Cui’s words very clearly.

The audience suddenly exploded.

The crowd was shocked.

My head was buzzing.

He immediately raised his hand to stop Lu Cenyin from opening the box.

Mr. Xu's voice was trembling and his face was pale: "Everyone, I'm sorry!"

Since then.

He quickly followed Mr. Cui and ran out.

Principal Wu froze on the spot and murmured: "How could this happen... Who, drive immediately to Teacher Xu's house to help!"

Everyone had been friends with Mr. Xu for many years. How could they stand by and watch such a major event in his family? They all rushed out of the meeting room and drove to Xu's hometown.

Mr. Xu has an office in Jinda.

I've been here once before.

But his home is not here, but a suburban villa more than [-] kilometers away.

His daughters Bai Wei and Ouyang Shanwen have been living there.

Lu Cenyin asked: "What should I do?"

I replied: "Go and help Mr. Xu!"
