Came Back as an Heiress After My Ex-Fiancé Made Me Blind novel Chapter 278

Victoria nodded, "Yes."

Carl could not help but be on high alert. What was he doing? Did Director Krav come to poach again?

Last time, he asked Victoria if she wanted to work at the National Museum, this time, he shouldn't poach again.

When Director Krav heard Victoria say yes, he became visibly excited,

"To be honest, I came to see the auction today. After the auction ended, I stayed here for a while. Just as I was about to leave, I heard Miss Montgomery talk about porcelain restoration techniques. I learned a lot!"

"Our National Museum has a lot of broken ancient porcelain, and the restorationists are trying their best to restore it, but it is still difficult to achieve the extent that the cracks are not visible. Miss Montgomery, the restoration technique you just mentioned, could you please demonstrate it for me?"

There was nothing wrong with that, Victoria smiled faintly, "Sure."

Carl looked at Mr. Krav on the side and suggested, "That's great, let's just repair that Ryan kiln three-legged brush washer. Where is it?"

"In the backyard, this way please!" Mr. Hamilton quickly led the way.

The group followed Mr. Hamilton into a clean and quaint warehouse in the backyard.

There were several cultural relics appraisers in the warehouse, as well as several cultural relics maintenance and restoration personnel, all specially hired by the auction house.

"Make way, everyone!" Manager Hamilton called out loudly.

The people in the room were surprised and delighted to see the three people behind Mr. Hamilton.

Miss Montgomery, Mr. Carter, and Director Krav of the National Museum!

These were public figures!

Mr. Hamilton put on special gloves, then picked up the Ryan Kiln tripod brush on the table and said, Miss Ye, it's this porcelain piece. Look here, there is a very visible crack where it was glued together after being broken."

Carl leaned over to take a look, indeed, it was very obvious that it had been broken.

Director Krav was very familiar with this situation.

There are over three hundred thousand sets of porcelain in the National Museum, preserved for thousands of years. Some are intact, while others have been damaged during wars. In order to display and protect the value of cultural relics, sometimes those damaged porcelains need to be repaired.

Victoria put on gloves and took the Ryan kiln brush washer from Manager Hamilton's hand.

After a few careful glances, she said, "First, remove this glued piece, then use egg white and rice juice to whiten the paste, so that it will stick firmly."

Upon hearing this, Mr. Hamilton immediately asked someone to prepare the egg whites and rice juice.

After adjusting the plaster, Victoria reattached the broken parts, carefully sanded the cracks with a small brush, and then applied lead foam.

During Victoria's restoration process, Director Krav kept staring at it intently.

After applying the lead foam, Victoria exposed it to different lights several times and then applied a bit of rust foam.

Finally, she applied a layer of Sichuan white wax.

"Okay, this way, the cracks will be almost invisible." Victoria placed the porcelain under the light.

Director Krav was the first to look over impatiently, unable to hide the surprise in his eyes, "Miss Montgomery, your restoration technique is amazing! It can restore the original appearance of the porcelain to the greatest extent possible!"

Carl's mouth had not closed since earlier. This... this is too amazing!

It's like bringing a cultural relic back to life in an instant.

Wow, this amazing person is his sister-in-law, he is honored!

Facing Director Krav's appreciation, Victoria smiled humbly, then looked at Manager Hamilton beside him, "If you put this Ryan kiln brush and washstone up for auction, you should make it clear in advance that it has been broken before."

Mr. Hamilton nodded repeatedly, "Of course, honesty comes first! That's the ethics of our auction house!"

Director Krav stared at the Ryan kiln calligraphy brush several times, his heart surging with excitement. He paced back and forth in the room for a few steps, suddenly stopped in front of Victoria, and asked, "Miss Montgomery, with your top-notch expertise in cultural relic appraisal and restoration, are you not considering coming to the National Museum?"

Victoria blinked, "Sorry, I don't have that idea at the moment."

Director Krav was very regretful, but not discouraged, he asked eagerly, "Miss Montgomery, besides porcelain restoration, can you also restore ancient paintings?"

Victoria nodded, "Yes."

"That's great!" Director Krav was flushed with excitement, "Miss Montgomery, the King of England will visit our country next week. He likes our national paintings very much. At the state banquet, a painting from our country will be displayed. However, this painting was damaged during the wars in the past, and the restoration is very difficult. Many restorers are at a loss. Miss Montgomery, can I invite you to participate in the restoration of this ancient painting?"

Director Krav saw that Victoria agreed, he couldn't be happier. He smiled so much that peonies could bloom on his face. He walked to the side and called the person in charge of the ancient painting restoration team.

"Hello, it's me, Sheldon Krav! I have invited a very talented master to participate in the restoration of this ancient painting! How talented? It's Miss Taylor that you were pestering me about a few days ago! Okay okay, I know many restorers want to meet her in person. I will bring her over tomorrow morning!"

After hanging up the phone, Director Krav walked up to Victoria and said, "Miss Montgomery, I'll take you to see that ancient painting tomorrow morning. There are many restorers involved in the restoration of this ancient painting, and they all want to meet Taylor in person!" "

Victoria nodded, "Okay."

Carl immediately raised his hand, "Victoria, can I go with you?"

Director Krav smiled brightly and said, "Of course!"

...

The next morning.

Ancient painting restoration group.

It was a spacious and bright room with several tables in the middle, and a damaged ancient painting was carefully placed on it.

There were more than a dozen top cultural relic restorers in the room, and everyone glanced in the direction of the door from time to time.

"When is Taylor coming? Director Krav said she's coming this morning, right?"

"Yes, it's this morning! Finally, we can see Taylor in person!"

"It's said that Taylor is a young girl who can identify the authenticity of cultural relics and restore them at such a young age. That's amazing."

Peter, who was sitting next to them, listened to the crowd's discussion and could not stop his heart from rising and falling.

He went to Light Treasure Auction House several times to meet Taylor but was refused.

Unexpectedly, today, Taylor was also invited to participate in the restoration of this ancient painting.

Finally... it was time to see Taylor in person...
