"Mr. Li, do you happen to know my daughter?" Qin Gang asked, seeing Li Yang's surprised reaction.
"Yes, I've met Miss Qin before, and we've collaborated," Li Yang replied casually.
"Haha, what a coincidence! Since you've met, how do you find my daughter? Is her figure and appearance to your liking?"
Qin Gang's face was filled with excitement. If they knew each other, things would be much easier.
He had great confidence in his daughter's looks, believing few men wouldn't be attracted to her.
Seeing his expectant expression, Li Yang said, "Miss Qin is indeed very beautiful, but she and I are just friends. I haven't thought about becoming boyfriend and girlfriend. Besides, matters of the heart are about fate, wouldn't you agree?"
"Yes, yes, it's about fate, it can't be forced!"
Qin Gang understood Li Yang's meaning and chuckled awkwardly. "You young people's affairs, I, as an elder, am just anxious, I don't mean anything else. If Mr. Li has any intentions towards my daughter, you can let me help persuade her."
"Although my daughter is usually independent and self-reliant, she listens to me at crucial moments."
"Alright, I understand. Thank you, Curator Qin."
Li Yang offered a polite remark and then noticed the remaining numbers above Qin Gang's head. He spoke directly, "By the way, Curator Qin, although you escaped danger today, the people who want to deal with you will definitely not give up easily."
"In the next month, you must be extra careful and guard against any further accidents."
"Oh? Am I still in danger later?" Qin Gang's heart skipped a beat, and he asked seriously.
"Yes, your risk factor is very high. If you're not careful, accidents can happen at any time," Li Yang said earnestly.
He could see that the numbers above Qin Gang's head were different in color from others. While others had a fixed color, the numbers above his head were changing in various colors.
He guessed that this situation meant he could be in danger during this period.
"Okay, I will be careful. I will definitely find out who the real culprit is among these assassins today. I want to see who is so despicable to use such methods against me!"
Qin Gang's expression turned unusually stern. The incident he experienced today had made him extremely angry!
If he could catch the culprit, he would make the enemy pay dearly.
After reminding him, Li Yang bid farewell and left.
At this moment, Qin Gang turned to look at Qi Tongwei and said seriously, "Curator Qi, I truly underestimated you before. I didn't expect you to know a master like Mr. Li."
"You are too kind, Chief Curator. I also met Mr. Li by chance. He is a very famous treasure appraiser in Jiangcheng. He not only understands Feng Shui but also treasure appraisal and medicine. He is a top expert in every field."
As Qi Tongwei spoke, he took out the jade pendant Li Yang had presented earlier and handed it to Qin Gang, saying, "Chief Curator, look at this treasure. It is the one Mr. Li presented to our museum just now."
"This item perfectly matches the characteristics of one of the treasures you mentioned to me. I am giving it to you today, hoping that the Chief Curator will be satisfied and consider me favorably in future promotions."
"Oh? This thing is from Mr. Li?"
Qin Gang looked at the jade pendant with great surprise. Upon receiving it, he noticed the peculiar carvings on the jade. He quickly recognized the script as Zhuan Shu.
Instantly, his face lit up with excitement. "This is a rare treasure from the Qin Dynasty, an important cultural relic that can verify history!"
"I spent over ten years searching for this item, and I never expected to see it here today."
"Chief Curator, I'm glad you like it." Seeing his excitement, Qi Tongwei immediately guessed that he was very satisfied with the item.
Qin Gang came back to his senses and gently patted his shoulder. "Curator Qi, you have made a great contribution to the General Museum. Rest assured, I will recommend you first for any positions that become available within the General Museum."
"However, you cannot become complacent. You must also do your best to find the remaining four treasures I entrusted to you. If someone else gets ahead of you, I will have to consider others for promotion."
"Yes, Chief Curator, I will definitely work hard. Please rest assured." Qi Tongwei said excitedly.
"Alright, if you have time, talk more with Mr. Li. When it comes to finding treasures, I believe he is more skilled than you. If you can build a good relationship with Mr. Li, it will also be beneficial for your promotion. Just don't forget to put in a good word for me."
Before leaving, Qin Gang gave Qi Tongwei a hint.
Qi Tongwei was also a smart young man and understood Qin Gang's meaning. He still wanted to befriend Li Yang. He had missed the opportunity to connect through his daughter earlier and was now thinking of the next good chance.
Although Qi Tongwei was not confident that he could get Li Yang to join the General Museum, he was already content that the Chief Curator was giving him an opportunity.
"Hey, you in front, stop right there."
As Li Yang left the museum and headed towards the parking lot to leave, a cold, stern voice suddenly called out from the side.
He stopped and looked back, seeing a young rich second-generation dressed in trendy fashion, leading a group of young disciples in martial arts uniforms towards him.
The person looked extremely arrogant. His gaze swept over Li Yang with disdain and contempt. He walked over and arrogantly asked Li Yang, "Is your name Li Yang?"
"That's right, it's me. May I ask who you are..." Li Yang asked, confused.
"Allow me to introduce myself. My surname is He, and I am from Kyoto. I am also Murong Xue's fiancé. Do you know my identity now?"
He Lingtian sneered, introducing himself arrogantly before smiling at Li Yang and continuing, "I heard you've been getting close to my fiancée, so I came to have a chat with you."
"So you're that young master from Kyoto?"
Li Yang suddenly realized. He had thought the person pursuing Murong Xue would be outstanding, but he looked so unpleasant and slovenly, clearly a playboy.
If Murong Xue were to fancy him, it would be a miracle!
Coming back to his senses, Li Yang smiled and said, "Young Master He, I have indeed heard of your great name, but coming to find me is probably useless."
"What do you mean?" He Ling's brows furrowed as he asked.
"It was Murong Xue who seduced me. I ignored her, but she still eagerly wanted to have dinner with me and even wanted to sleep with me at night. I tried my best to stop her, but it was no use. Shouldn't Young Master He doubt his own charm?"
Li Yang chuckled triumphantly, "If Young Master He were half as handsome as me, or had half my manliness, perhaps Murong Xue would like you?"
"Damn it, are you humiliating me? You've got some nerve!"
He Ling heard Li Yang deliberately toying with him and was instantly enraged!
