At five in the afternoon, Jiao Jikai left work early to go home.
Aside from the Awakened Lion painting, he also brought along two artworks he had collected over the years.
Once Jiao Jikai was ready, he called Chen Bin.
After obtaining the hotel address, he drove over.
After he arranged the dinner, Chen Bin went to Qi Bocha's room and invited him to the downstairs private dining room.
Upon seeing Qi Bocha, Jiao Jikai rose with a flattering expression to greet him.
"Hello, Dean Qi. My name is Jiao Jikai, the Deputy Director of Yanxi Province TV Station. I have admired you for a long time. Meeting you today is truly an honor."
"Hello, Director Jiao."
Qi Bocha smiled and shook hands with Jiao Jikai, "I heard from Mr. Chen that you have profound knowledge of calligraphy and painting. It's my honor to appreciate art with you."
Immediately, the two exchanged pleasantries.
As Jiao Jikai prepared to show the paintings to Qi Bocha, he was stopped by Chen Bin.
