Reborn in 1994, escaping from marriage and going sea fishing, I won!

Chapter 1022 Warm and Sweet

Xu Huizhen saw Liu Meilan and nodded. Some things were not convenient to say in person, so they could talk about it when they met later.

The donation was made under the overall organization of the Municipal Bureau of Culture and municipal leaders.

When the experts from the city museum saw the exchanged items, their eyes became red, as if they wanted to glimpse the war-torn years through these ancient and beautiful antiques.

When Duke Ross and his nephew Leo saw the logbook, their eyes instantly turned red.

Antique experts in Europe and the United States also look at objects that carry their own cultural attributes with fascination.

When it comes to aesthetics, people always think their own products are superior, and they attribute others' dislike and misunderstanding to a lack of appreciation.

After inspecting the goods on the spot and confirming that they were correct, the two parties exchanged them.

Duke Ross personally carried the box containing the "Logbook" and walked up to Liu Meilan, saying, "Miss Liu, thank you and your team for finding my ancestors. Could you tell me where their remains are?"

Liu Meilan hesitated for a moment and did not answer immediately.

Duke Ross quickly explained, "We understand the law and know that this is something you salvaged within your territorial waters. It's an item within Chinese territory, and ownership belongs to you. We will sign a legally binding memorandum to ensure we won't pursue this matter further."

After all, this happened more than a hundred years ago. If they dare to sue, can't China also use legal means to recover the cultural relics they stole from China?

Liu Meilan nodded and said, "If that's the case, then we have nothing to worry about. They were very brave. After encountering severe weather, they came to that island to escape the storm. They may have been ill. Their bodies were found in a cave. I'm sure you've seen the relevant photos. You should rest for a day. We will send someone to take you to the burial tomorrow."

Duke Ross nodded repeatedly: "Thank you so much, the Ross family will always be grateful to you."

"Okay!" Liu Meilan agreed, "I wish you all the best tomorrow!"

The Ross family left with their belongings, and the staff of the Municipal Museum, together with Liu Yiwen, placed the exchanged antiques in a special counter of the Municipal Museum.

This place is specially used to store the precious antiques that were exchanged, and it is also a key exhibition area for the city's external publicity.

After finishing these matters, Xu Huizhen finally had time to talk to Liu Meilan alone.

Xu Huizhen hugged Liu Meilan and said, "The mission is finally completed."

Liu Meilan smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work."

"It's not hard." Although Xu Huizhen looked a little tired, her eyes were still bright. "This is a very meaningful thing."

Liu Meilan asked, "Are you free today? I'm going back to the island tonight and will take a yacht back. My grandparents are also on Sifang Island."

Xu Huizhen nodded. "I'll go tell my boss right away. But I have to rush back for my 10 a.m. flight tomorrow."

"Okay!" Liu Meilan urged, "Then ask your boss for leave right away, and I'll take you back right away."

Xu Huizhen immediately asked for leave from her supervisor, who, understanding her situation, made no effort to make things difficult for her. At this stage, their work was essentially complete, and the subsequent collection and burial of the remains would be handled by dedicated personnel.

The boss said, "Okay, but you can't miss your 10:00 AM flight tomorrow. After you get there and have the meeting, you can take your vacation."

Xu Huizhen nodded and said, "Leader, I understand."

The leader's eyes showed approval. He looked at Xu Huizhen and said, "You have made great contributions this time. We have all seen it. When you return, we will give you more responsibilities."

Xu Huizhen was thrilled but didn't dare show it. She smiled and replied, "Actually, it was all thanks to the leadership's sound guidance and the concerted efforts of my colleagues that I was able to remain calm and successfully complete the task."

The leader looked at the steady Xu Huizhen and said with great satisfaction, "Good!"

Half an hour later, Liu Meilan and Xu Huizhen were already on the yacht.

Xu Huizhen drank her juice and looked at Liu Meilan with a smile: "Have you been in a lot of trouble recently?"

Liu Meilan nodded. "Not only have many people come to inquire about our salvage company, but bugs were also found in my and my second brother's offices! After calling the police, we found one domestic and one foreign device!"

Xu Huizhen smiled upon hearing this and said, "Then I can tell you now that you have nothing to fear back home! The righteous deeds of you and your second brother have been recognized by the highest levels! No one will be allowed to harass you in any way."

"As for the ones abroad, according to our intelligence, it's most likely the work of the Ross family! They're so eager to get these things back, they might have other motives behind it! But now they've got what they wanted, and you've handed it over intact. They shouldn't take any more extreme actions next time!"

Liu Meilan was skeptical: "Is that really the case? Our salvage company has been deregistered!"

Xu Huizhen raised her eyebrows slightly: "Isn't it because they couldn't find the sunken ship that they cancelled it?"

Liu Meilan shook her head and laughed: "There are reasons for this, but more of it is due to external interference!"

Xu Huizhen consoled him, "It's actually better if you cancel your account. This way you don't have to deal with people who only care about getting something for nothing!"

Liu Meilan nodded: "Yes! I just don't want to get entangled with those messy people! After all, we can control ourselves, but we can't control others! Because of this incident, I don't even feel like going out fishing!"

Xu Huizhen laughed heartily. "Don't worry! Our department leader has already stepped forward to coordinate!"

After all, almost all the departments above have gained tangible benefits from it, real hard cash!

With Xu Huizhen's words, Liu Meilan was completely relieved.

Liu Meilan called back in advance. Both the Xu family on the island and Mrs. Fu and Mr. Fu who were recuperating in the retirement home were looking forward to Xu Huizhen's return.

Xu Huizhen followed Liu Meilan directly to the retirement home to pay their respects to the two elders.

Mr. Fu asked, "Is everything going well?"

Xu Huizhen smiled and replied, "Grandpa, it's going very smoothly! I just asked my boss for leave to go home, and he agreed. He even said he'd give me more responsibilities when I get back!"

Hearing this, Mr. Fu understood: "Huizhen, you did a great job!"

Madam Fu smiled and said, "It's a rare trip home, so we won't keep you here! Spend more time with your parents!"

Liu Meilan joked with a smile: "Yes! All the delicious food at Grandpa and Grandma's place is mine. Sister Huizhen, you should go back to Uncle Xu and Aunt Xu to eat!"

Xu Huizhen smiled gently: "Thank you, grandma, and thank you, Meilan. You said that on purpose, maybe you want to spend more time with grandpa and grandma on my behalf!"

Liu Meilan shook her head and smiled, "No, I'm just jealous of you! When grandpa and grandma were in Beijing, you could see them whenever you wanted, but I can't! It's so far away, and my child is so young, I can hardly go back once a year."

"Now that grandpa and grandma have finally come to my place to recuperate, it's my and Fu Chen's turn to show our filial piety. You and big brother, please stop competing with us for their affection!"

Old Master Fu smiled and listened quietly to the jokes of his two granddaughters-in-law.

Madam Fu smiled happily and touched Liu Meilan's forehead with her hand: "You are so sweet!"
