At five in the afternoon, Jiao Jikai left work early and headed home.
Besides bringing the "Awakening Lion" painting, he also brought along two paintings he had collected over the years.
Once Jiao Jikai had everything ready, he called Chen Bin.
After getting the address of the hotel, he drove straight there.
After arranging the dinner, Chen Bin went to Qi Bocha's room and invited him to the private dining room downstairs for the meal.
When Jiao Jikai saw Qi Bocha, he stood up with a flattering expression and greeted him.
"Dean Qi, hello, my name is Jiao Jikai. I'm the Deputy Director of the Yanxi Province TV Station. I've admired you for a long time. It's truly an honor to meet you today."
"Hello, Deputy Director Jiao."
Qi Bocha smiled and shook hands with Jiao Jikai. "I heard from Mr. Chen that you have notable expertise in calligraphy and painting. It's an honor for me to appreciate art with you."
Afterward, the two exchanged quite a few pleasantries.
