Siheyuan: Tanjia Cuisine He Daqing, destroying Yi Zhonghai

Liu Xu smiled and said, "I went to the market to buy some fresh vegetables and chatted with the neighbors. Everyone cares about you."

He Daqing nodded, feeling warm in his heart, "With you here, I feel more at ease."

After dinner, He Daqing and Liu Xu sat on the rocking chair in the yard, looking at the starry sky. The night in the courtyard is always so quiet, with only the breeze blowing, bringing a hint of coolness.

Liu Xu leaned on He Daqing's shoulder and said softly, "Daqing, sometimes I feel that our lives are like the stars in this courtyard. Although they seem ordinary, each one shines with its own light."

He Daqing held Liu Xu's hand and said softly, "Yes, Liu Xu. Although our life is simple, every day is full of meaning."

A few days later, He Daqing received a strange phone call. A deep voice came from the other end of the phone, "Mr. He, I have something important to discuss with you. Do you have time?"

He Daqing frowned slightly, feeling a little doubtful, but still agreed to the other party's request, "Okay, where shall we meet?"

The other party gave an address, He Daqing wrote it down and hung up the phone. Liu Xu looked at him and asked with concern: "Daqing, what's the matter?"

He Daqing smiled and said, "It's just a client who wants to talk to me about something. Don't worry, I will be careful."

Liu Xu nodded, a trace of worry flashed in her eyes, "Daqing, you must pay attention to safety."

He Daqing nodded in agreement and drove to the agreed location. This was a high-end cafe in the city center with an elegant environment and a peaceful atmosphere. He pushed open the door and saw a middle-aged man sitting in the corner, smiling and waving at him.

"Mr. He, please take a seat." The middle-aged man said politely.

After He Daqing sat down, he carefully looked at the man in front of him. He was well-dressed and had a calm face, but his eyes revealed a hint of deep wisdom.

"I am Li Chengguang, an antique collector. I came to you today to ask for your help in identifying an antique." Li Chengguang said straight to the point.

He Daqing smiled slightly, "Mr. Li, you're welcome. Tell me, what antique is it?"

Li Chengguang took out a brocade box from his briefcase and gently opened it, revealing an exquisite jade artifact. He Daqing could tell at a glance that it was a jade carving from the Qing Dynasty, with extremely exquisite craftsmanship and fine and smooth jade.

"Mr. He, this piece of jade was passed down from my ancestors and has always been regarded as a treasure. But I heard that there have been a lot of fakes on the market recently, so I would like to ask you to help me identify it." Li Chengguang said with a hint of worry in his tone.

He Daqing nodded, picked up the jade and looked at it carefully. He used a magnifying glass to observe the details of the jade carving, feeling its texture and temperature. After a moment, he put down the jade and said with a smile: "Mr. Li, this jade carving is indeed authentic, you can rest assured."

Li Chengguang breathed a sigh of relief and smiled gratefully, "Mr. He, thank you so much. You really live up to your reputation."

He Daqing smiled modestly, "Mr. Li, you are too polite. This is my duty."

The two chatted about antique collections, and Li Chengguang seemed very talkative and praised He Daqing's professional level. Finally, Li Chengguang invited He Daqing to participate in a private antique exhibition, and He Daqing readily agreed.

A few days later, He Daqing arrived at the exhibition site. It was an old mansion, surrounded by exquisite antiques and calligraphy and paintings. He Daqing walked into the mansion and felt a strong historical atmosphere.

At the exhibition, He Daqing met many well-known collectors and antique dealers. They all asked him for advice on antique appreciation techniques, and he patiently answered every question, winning everyone's respect and praise.

Just as He Daqing was savoring an antique, Li Chengguang came over and said with a smile, "Mr. He, what do you think of this porcelain?"

He Daqing turned around and saw a piece of blue and white porcelain from the Ming Dynasty, with exquisite patterns and a lustrous glaze. He looked at it carefully for a moment and exclaimed: "This piece of blue and white porcelain is very well preserved and is a rare treasure."

Li Chengguang nodded, a hint of joy flashing in his eyes, "Mr. He, your vision is really extraordinary. This blue and white porcelain is a treasure passed down in my family, and I have treasured it until now."

He Daqing smiled slightly, "Mr. Li, such a treasure is indeed worth collecting."

After the exhibition, He Daqing returned to the courtyard with a lot of gains. Liu Xu came up to him and asked with concern: "Daqing, how was the exhibition?"

He Daqing smiled and said, "It was great. I met many old friends and learned a lot of new knowledge."

Liu Xu and Zhao Yajing not only did not comfort him, but also mocked him.

In the quiet environment of the courtyard, He Daqing carefully recalled everything that happened at the exhibition. As night fell and the stars twinkled in the sky, he stood alone in the courtyard, thinking about the future.

The next morning, He Daqing came to the company early. He was drinking coffee in the office, and the scene of Li Chengguang inviting him to the antique exhibition was still echoing in his mind. Suddenly, the door of the office was pushed open, and Zhao Yajing walked in with a look of disdain on her face.

"Mr. He, how was the exhibition yesterday?" Zhao Yajing asked coldly.

He Daqing put down the coffee cup in his hand, looked up at her, and felt a little unhappy, but still replied calmly: "Not bad, I learned a lot."

Zhao Yajing snorted, crossed her arms, and said sarcastically, "Learned something? I'm afraid that's just what you think. Those so-called collectors and antique dealers are just a bunch of self-righteous guys who don't have any real appreciation ability at all."

He Daqing frowned slightly, and said calmly but firmly: "Zhao Yajing, everyone has their own expertise and insights, and we should not easily deny others."

Zhao Yajing sneered and continued sarcastically: "Mr. He, are you still thinking about Jia Xiaoying and Niu Tinggui? Do you think they will care about you? They have already forgotten you."

He Daqing was shocked, but he tried to control his emotions and said calmly: "Zhao Yajing, these are personal matters and have nothing to do with you. Please be careful with your words."

Seeing that He Daqing was not angered, Zhao Yajing looked even more disdainful. She walked to the desk, leaned over to He Daqing, and said coldly: "Mr. He, do you think you are so great? In fact, you are just a worthless character in the eyes of others."

He Daqing felt angry, but he took a deep breath and looked at Zhao Yajing calmly, "Zhao Yajing, if you have any opinions about the company, you can raise them, but please don't bring your personal emotions to work."
