Save Myself from Desperation by Cara Agnes

Ashley nodded. “Yep.”

Joseph couldn’t help but be wary and feared Paul would issue a job invitation to Ashley.

Paul invited Ashley to work at the National Museum last time, so he might come for the same purpose this time.

Ashley replied in the affirmative, which made Paul visibly excited.

“I came to watch the auction today. I stayed here for a while after the auction. As I intended to leave, I heard about your porcelain repair techniques, which greatly benefited me.

“We have a lot of broken ancient porcelain in the National Museum. Cultural relic restorers are trying their best to repair it, but it is still difficult to restore it. Could you please show me the repair techniques you just mentioned?”

Ashley was willing to do it, smiled lightly, and said, “Okay.”

Joseph looked at Noah on the side and suggested. “Well, I’ll repair the porcelain you just mentioned. Where is it?”

“It’s in the backyard. This way, please.” Noah hurriedly led the way.

They followed Noah and walked into a clean and quaintly decorated warehouse in the backyard.

There were several cultural relic appraisers and several cultural relic maintenance and restoration personnel in the warehouse, who were all staff specially hired by StarGavel Auctions.

“Make way, please,” Noah shouted loudly.

They all felt surprised when they noticed Ashley, Joseph, and Paul behind Noah.

They were all experts in this field.

Noah put on gloves made of special materials and then picked up the porcelain on the table. “Here it is, Ms. Ramos. A crack stuck after being broken, which is very conspicuous.”

Joseph stretched out his head and looked over. He found the crack

indeed conspicuous, and it was easy to tell it had fallen before.

Paul was very familiar with this situation.

More than three hundred thousand porcelain sets were preserved in the National Museum. After thousands of years, some were still intact, but some had been damaged by war. The staff needed to repair the broken porcelain to display and protect the value of cultural relics.

Ashley put on her gloves and took the porcelain from Noah’s hand.
