Chapter 269 Invitation

Looking at the half-written text on the invitation, Li Yi finally understood Guan Xue's purpose.

It turned out that her father wanted to invite him to his house for dinner.

The purpose of this meal was obviously for the Wanshou Wujiang Bowl, but her father obviously wanted to talk about it at the dinner table.

After closing the invitation and pushing it back, Li Yi smiled and said, "Thank you very much, Mr. Guan, for your kind invitation, but I've been really busy these days and I'm afraid I won't have time to attend the banquet."

Seeing his refusal, Guan Xue was not surprised. She smiled and asked: "Really? What are you busy with? If you need anything, just ask. My father is somewhat of a thin man in the capital. He also knows many people in the field of antiques and art."

Some friends, he is a warm-hearted person and likes to help his friends the most."

After hearing her words, Li Yi was keenly aware of the meaning behind her words. He raised his eyes, squinted slightly, and asked with a smile: "Are you investigating me?"

"Don't dare, I just got the news by chance."

Guan Xue explained with a smile: "When Geng Wanhua and the others were trying to reproduce the cloisonné process, they contacted many handicraft manufacturers around the capital. The owner of the glaze factory you contacted knew Geng Wanhua, so he casually asked him.

Only then did I know that you were looking for a venue and a stove."

Li Yi smiled and leaned on the sofa.

After the program ends the day after tomorrow, it will be time to reproduce the cloisonné as promised by him and the audience.

He had already mastered the cloisonné production process in the previous two dream spaces.

Seeing that the deadline was approaching, he naturally had to fulfill his promise.

While in Yangzhou, he was preparing for the re-enactment.

He ordered a batch of copper plates, bought tools, and contacted the Liulic Factory in Beijing in advance, planning to rent a stove to burn cloisonne.

He guessed that this would reach Guan Xue's ears, but he didn't expect the news to spread so quickly.

The front desk manager saw something interesting, so he poured a cup of tea for Li Yi and brought it over.

Picking up the tea cup, Li Yi took a sip and asked with a smile: "So, are you here to stop me?"

"no."

Guan Xue shook her head and said with a smile: "You want to try to imitate cloisonné. This is your freedom and we have no right to stop it.

My father is also a man who loves talents, but he just wants to do his best."

“It’s awesome to use retreat to make progress.”

Li Yi smiled and nodded.

"No, no, no, we just want to express our sincerity."

Guan Xue smiled and picked up the invitation on the table and handed it to Li Yi again: "Mr. Li Yi, it's just a simple meal. If you feel that something is not going well, I will send you back at any time to apologize to you. How about it?"

?”

Li Yi looked at the invitation in her hand, smiled slightly, reached out to take it, stood up and said, "There's nothing to do anyway, so don't bother me!"

"please."

Guan Xue stood up and smiled in invitation.

Li Yi stepped out of the hotel door. A Maybach had already parked outside the hotel door. The driver in a suit opened the back door and waited respectfully.

At the entrance of the hotel, a Mercedes-Benz C200 drove over, obviously a guest checking in.

Driving uphill to the hotel, it didn't slow down, but as soon as it reached the hotel entrance and saw the tail logo of the Maybach in front of it, it suddenly braked to a stop.

Its brakes were a bit fierce and the sound was a bit loud. Li Yi looked around and happened to see the girl sitting in the passenger seat complaining to the middle-aged man in the driver's seat.

But the middle-aged man stared at the Maybach S680 ahead with lingering fear.

He found Li Yi who was looking back, and hurriedly raised his hand in the car to signal with a smile, then released the brakes, shifted into neutral, and let the car silently move back to give more space.

Seeing a car coming from behind, Li Yi stepped forward and sat in the back seat.

Guan Xue also got into the car from the other side and sat on the other side of the back seat.

The driver helped Li Yi close the car door, returned to the driving seat, lightly stepped on the accelerator, and the car drove off.

Li Yi sat on the leather seat in the back and felt almost no vibration or noise.

"Want something to drink?"

Guan Xue opened the car refrigerator and asked Li Yi.

"No."

Li Yi leaned on the seat and stretched out his feet.

The nearly six-meter-long body allows ample space in the back row without feeling crowded at all.

"The soundproofing of this car is pretty good."

Li Yi smiled and praised.

After the car door is closed, almost all the noise outside the car is blocked out.

Guan Xue smiled and said: "If you want it, I can transfer it to you in just one sentence."

"Are you convinced of me?"

Li Yi glanced at her.

"No, I just want to express my sincerity."

Guan Xue's attitude was impeccable and very polite.

Li Yi smiled, didn't say anything more, and just looked out the window.

Seeing this, Guan Xue didn't bother him anymore.

The car drove smoothly up the Fifth Ring Road, and half an hour later, we arrived at a villa area outside Yuquan Mountain.

After driving into the yard, the driver stopped the car and came to the back door. He opened the door for Li Yi and thoughtfully covered his head with his hands to prevent Li Yi from bumping into him.

After getting out of the car, Li Yi looked at the environment around the villa and said with a smile: "Yuquan Mountain is indeed suitable for the elderly to live in. The water is good."

Since the Ming and Qing Dynasties, Yuquan Mountain has been used exclusively for water collection for the palace. The spring water in the mountain was once named the best spring in the world by Qianlong.

"You can try the tea brewed by Yuquan later. The taste is extraordinary."

Guan Xue introduced Li Yi into the door with a smile. As soon as Li Yi entered, he saw Geng Wanhua and Cai Yi talking to a gray-haired old man in the living room on the first floor.

Seeing Li Yi, Cai Yi stood up excitedly, as if he wanted to say something, but held it back.

Geng Wanhua helped the old man stand up and looked at Li Yi with the same complicated expression.

"Dad, I have invited Mr. Li Yi back for you."

Guan Xue smiled and invited Li Yi to the living room. She stepped forward and held the old man's arm, and introduced Li Yi with a smile: "This is my father, Guan Yue."

"Mr. Guan, thank you."

Li Yi politely extended his hand and said hello.

Guan Yue was supported by Guan Xue, and with a smile on his face, he stretched out his hands and took Li Yi's hand, with wrinkles on his face like furrows: "Xiao Li, I have been watching your show, and we finally meet today, sit down quickly

!”

He seemed very familiar and enthusiastic, and kept pulling Li Yi to sit on the sofa together. He was still patting the back of Li Yi's hand, asking him about his experience in Yangzhou and other places in the past few days with concern.

Listening to his inquiry, Li Yi was surprised to find that he had actually watched the live broadcast a few days ago, and even knew that someone wanted to buy his fish basket at a high price.

"What do you want golden bamboo for? I know a friend who should be able to get some. Can I ask it for you?"

He asked with concern.

"sure!"

Li Yi did not refuse and nodded with a smile.

It can be seen from these few sentences that Guan Yue is really interested in his set of Wanshou Boundless Bowl.

"no problem."

Guan Yue said with a smile: "My friend is in the ornamental bamboo business. There is a mountain over there in Zhangzhou. I will give you the phone number. If you want any bamboo, he has it there."

"Thank you."

Li Yi smiled and saved his mobile phone number, and said with a smile: "Mr. Guan really has friends all over the world!"

Since he chose to have this meal, he just wanted to see what the old gentleman wanted to do.

And since Guan Yue wanted to pay homage first, he would not refuse the benefits offered to him.
