Chapter 96 The Dragon Comes to the World
The staff respectfully invited Mr. Yan and his group to the VIP room. This was also what Director Ning ordered. They did not dare to neglect and were very sincere and humble.
The museum's VIP room is also very wide, and it is not a problem to accommodate hundreds of people. The light is not dazzling. The interior is decorated in antique colors, which is in a strong contrast with the modern appearance. I saw that the walls inside are decorated with bright mahogany, but the ground is covered with a layer of pine bark. It is not smooth, but looks comfortable.
There are also twenty or thirty large wooden stake tea tables, surrounded by several stools. The shapes of these tea tables are different, mainly brown in color and different materials. Some are made of various tree heads, while others are ground into precious stones. There are tea tables, tea cups, teapots and other tea-making and drinking tea utensils on the tea tables.
After Hong Tianbao and others sat down, the eye-catching staff immediately brought boiling water and prepared to show everyone his skills in making tea. But many of the people present were veterans of making tea, so the waiter showed off some skills.
"Okay, let's do it yourself! If you have something to do, you'll be busy." An expert saw that although his tea making moves were skillful and exciting, he obviously lacked some stability and heat, so he simply started to drive people away.
"Haha! That's OK, that's OK! You guys, I'll go out first, and just give me instructions if you have any questions." The man smiled awkwardly, then bent down and retreated.
Who knew that at this time Sun Moba spoke: "Hey! Boy! Get me a few cans of herbal tea. I can't get used to these hot teas. Be careful not to bitter herbal tea, and the others are casual."
"Well! Let me have a can too!" Hong Tianbao nodded, and he was not very interested in the tea appreciation, but instead felt it was hot!
Tang Xin was not used to drinking tea, and was famously scheming, so he ordered: "Give me a cup of milk tea by the way! Add more milk and less sugar!"
The staff had already secretly wiped their sweat. The VIP room in the museum was good for drinking tea. But it was herbal tea and milk tea, but I had never tried it. The museum did not prepare these, so it was made outside. Mr. Yan and several experts looked at each other and smiled bitterly. It was probably only these people who dared to do such a nonsense in Director Ning's place.
After the staff left, they immediately asked others to hurry outside and take a look at the herbal tea and milk tea that Hong Tianbao and others wanted. Director Ning had repeatedly told them to try their best to meet the requirements of these three young people.
Just as Hong Tianbao and Sun Moba were drinking herbal tea, Tang Xin was drinking milk tea, and while Yan and others were drinking tea, Director Ning had already led Kong Lao, Ye and others in. When he got off the bus, the arrival of Kong Lao and others caused a commotion among many people. Director Ning decisively went straight to the VIP room.
Some people who feel that their status is not high are looking for reasons to stay outside. Director Ning said a few politely and ordered others to entertain others. Director Ning knew his family's affairs, and his VIP room was great, but he couldn't squeeze in hundreds of people! So when those people made excuses, Director Ning also breathed a sigh of relief and went down with the situation.
When he went in and saw the scene, he was stunned for a moment, and then he smiled bitterly.
A group of people exchanged greetings and made polite treatments, which is the most commonly used way for Chinese people to treat guests.
"Brother's luck is really incredible! Now there is the third jade carving. It seems that gathering the twelve zodiac signs is not a dream!" Ye Jianzhong walked over and patted Hong Tianbao on the shoulder.
Hong Tianbao smiled and shook his head and said, "I think it's slim. It depends on luck and coincidence. If you go to find it specifically, it will undoubtedly be like finding a needle in a haystack."
"Haha! I can't hurry this, anyway, I have time! It's better to have hope than despair!" Ye Jianzhong comforted.
Hong Tianbao, Tang Xin and Sun Moba greeted Mr. Ye and others one after another. Old Ye glared at him and said, "You three little guys are quite capable! As soon as you arrived in Shanghai, they made trouble, and even the No. 1 leader was alarmed."
"Oh! Grandpa Ye, you can't say that! We are eliminating harm to the people, and there will be hard work if we don't have any contribution! Why are you still teaching us heroes a lesson?" Tang Xin said stubbornly.
Sun Moba also nodded suddenly, but he felt a little guilty. The things he did in Nanjing seemed to be inconspicuous.
"Oh? According to your tone, do you still want to get a reward?" Old Ye raised his eyebrows and said.
Tang Xin was not afraid of the old Red Army at all. He said with a smile: "If the country has a reward, of course we will never refuse it! If not, we wouldn't force it. After all, we didn't think about rewarding it at that time!"
Tang Xin's bright eyes suddenly turned and then said, "Or Grandpa Ye, you can give me a small reward in private. I'll lend you your quiet jade cicada for a few days."
Old Ye's eyelids twitched, and he felt that this girl's mouth skills were getting better and better. Is Mise Jade Cicada lent to her? That's impossible. Who knows how many days she has been in the past few days? Maybe when she is about to die, the girl will be sent back to meet her for the last time. Wouldn't that be sad? So Old Ye said lightly: "If you like it, go to my place and take a few glances. It's best not to hit me with Yu Chan."
Old Ye turned to Hong Tianbao, his whole old face changed, and he said with a smile: "Tianbao will find the Jade Dragon this time, and he will have great merits!"
Tang Xin and Sun Moba were stunned and thought to himself that this person is so old, why can his face change so much? Sun Moba touched his head and said, "It's strange, I'm not dazzled!"
Tang Xin added: "Is it possible that two people are confused at the same time?"
"Everyone sit down and have a few cups of tea first. Our conference will not open until nine o'clock." Director Ning greeted everyone. Nine o'clock is the auspicious time he chose for great effort. In China, it is also very particular about choosing the time for doing things. What's more, such a major event is inevitable to carefully choose.
"Okay! OK! OK! This exhibition will be recorded in our history like this year's treasure appreciation conference." Kong Lao said three good words with a look, which shows how excited he is now.
"It's a pity that if the other two jade carvings of Tianbao were also displayed together, I believe it would be more perfect and more shocking." Director Ning said with some insufficiency, looking at Hong Tianbao.
This time, Director Ding really couldn't stand this old guy. He coughed twice and quoted a sentence from the movie and said: "Cough cough! Lao Ning! I think this food should be eaten one bite at a time, and the road should be taken step by step. If you step too big, you will be bullshit!"
Director Ding has made up his mind and must persuade Hong Tianbao to let the other two jade carvings be exhibited for the first time in the Palace Museum. Otherwise, how could his elder brother in the Palace Museum be so good? How could he feel?
The relationship between Director Ding and Director Ning is the same as that of Mr. Hong and Mr. Ye, and it is very strong. But perhaps because the two of them are together, Director Ding and Director Ning often speak in conflict and quarrels.
Director Ning immediately raised his eyes and said, "Old Ding, are you looking for trouble? Don't always think that the Palace Museum is the emperor. Our Shanghai Museum is not bad either. If your museum is not older, would you be able to be so successful? Moreover, your management method is not good. It has been stolen several times. This is the ironclad evidence that the sky will not change."
Director Ding doesn't like to hear this. His old body shook violently, pointed at Director Ning with a blushing face and cursed: "Old ghost, please speak clearly. Isn't that better than your Shanghai Museum in the Palace Museum? You Shanghai Museum is a place where birds do not shit, and you pay for someone to steal, so no one will come!"
Director Ning was also furious. This guy always compares the treasures of the Palace Museum, which is really disgusting.
Kong Lao and others seemed to be commonplace and didn't respond much to this, but they still came out to make peace: "Hey! Today is a great day, don't quarrel!"
The two old men stopped, but the two pairs of eyes were still cross-eyed.
This small episode passed quickly, and the exciting and anticipated moment came silently. Director Ning, Old Kong, Old Ye and others came on stage together, and the huge venue began to open to those who had invitations. Those media friends immediately pointed the cannon barrel at the stage, and the big screen behind the stage instantly shone, and the quiet and gentle pure music "High Mountains and Flowing Water" spread throughout the audience.
Director Ning, as the organizer, cleared his throat and said to the microphone: "Dear colleagues from all over the world, guests from all industries, and friends from Chinese and foreign media, good morning everyone!"
After saying this polite words, there was a burst of thunderous applause.
Director Ning continued: "I believe everyone already knows what we are today, right? That's right! Today is the first exhibition day for the dragon jade carvings of the zodiac. Everyone should be familiar with the jade carvings of the twelve zodiac gods. We have always thought it was just a legend. But the facts tell us that legends are not groundless. Our ancestors did create these twelve magical peerless jade carvings, and the most noble and mysterious dragon jade carvings were recently discovered in our Shanghai.
Okay, I believe everyone is impatient, so I will not be a villain and will wipe out everyone's pleasure. Now, five antique masters in our country, Mr. Ye and Mr. Dai, together unveil the mystery of the dragon and make it come to the world!"
It is useless to say more, Director Ning will just say a long story short. Only by letting the dragon appear can everyone's attention be suppressed.
Kong Lao, Ye Lao and seven others held a glass bead on the stage together, and at the same time turned the huge transparent bead. At this time, the red cloth above the center of the venue slowly slid down, and the true face of Mount Lu inside finally appeared in the eyes of the world.
I saw a huge transparent ball hanging on it, a living dragon seemed to be swimming inside.
Hong Tianbao also secretly praised the person who designed and displayed the method. The man was so clever. The jade dragon was not only in the crystal palace, but also magnified by a transparent ball dozens of times, allowing more people to see the true style of the jade dragon, but also ensure the safety of the jade dragon. It is really amazing to kill three birds with one stone!
The jade dragon raised its head and looked up at the sky, holding a dragon ball in its mouth. The dragon ball radiated a green light. It danced with a front paw, with a stormy aura, and a sacred and solemn expression that made people worship it!
As soon as the dragon came out, the entire venue fell into a frozen silence. Everyone, including those who didn't understand antiques, stared at the mighty jade dragon without blinking. After a long time, bursts of marvels and praise sounded from the venue.
However, there are all kinds of birds in the forest. The world is so big that it is impossible to be completely harmonious. At this time, a French reporter held up a microphone and said, "In fact, I don't understand your Chinese ancestors. The twelve zodiac signs are of varying quality. Even vicious snakes, stupid pigs, lowly dogs and treacherous rats are worshipped. It's really unreasonable! Unlike in the West, our animal signs are either heroic and fierce, or smart."
As soon as these words came out, the entire venue suddenly became silent like death. Then the crowd broke out, and the saliva drowned the reporter and cursed the man so hard that he was bleeding.
Mr. Kong, Mr. Ye and others were also full of evil spirits. Director Ning was so angry that he was so angry that he scolded him for not being a human being. At the same time, he also allowed this guy to enter the venue to greet the 18th generation of the ancestors of the man.
Because the reporter used Chinese language, although he spoke it in a rude way, Sun Moba could still understand it. Sun Moba was not angry, but he couldn't stand the guy's face and his hands were itchy. So, when he heard this, he was immediately not angry but happy, and began to rub his fists and palms again. Anyway, that guy had already aroused the anger, and he beat him up for a while, no one should have any objections, right?
Seeing his expression, Hong Tianbao's eyelids twitched wildly, and knew that this guy was starting to go crazy again.
"Hey! Little Bastard, you can't do anything randomly. I don't object to your lesson, but the occasion is not suitable now. Be patient and wait until it's over, it's okay if you abuse that guy." At this time, Hong Tianbao can't let Sun Moba do it.
However, Hong Tianbao was also angry and couldn't help but walk to the front of the high-footed microphone. He cleared his throat and said, "When I heard this gentleman's words, I have to say, sir, you are in charge of the rules and regulations, and you have no idea about Chinese culture, or you have no idea about it."
Hong Tianbao first stumbled on the guy, and saw the audience's eyes focused, and then said: "In our vast civilization in China, the doctrine of the mean is always emphasized, that is, a balanced way. Once the world loses balance, it will collapse. They told future generations to move in the middle way, be impartial, stand on their own, and stand on the middle way!"
Hong Tianbao glanced at the guy and continued, "Being a human being is also the same. Our ancestors warned us to be honest but not noble; kind but not cowardly; cunning but not sleek; decisive but not reckless; persistent but not stubborn; wise but not treacherous; strong but gentle; high standards and low-key; be able to bend and stretch."
The reporter was not at all enlightened at this time and immediately interrupted Hong Tianbao and said, "What you said so much does not seem to have anything to do with my topic, right?"
Hong Tianbao glanced at the audience, and a momentum broke out from his body, and said with a smile: "Please listen to me, and our ancestors created the twelve zodiac signs based on the doctrine of the mean. Each zodiac sign represents a personality, and they use each zodiac to tell future generations to remember a principle of being a human being."
All the Chinese present burst into applause like a wave, secretly admiring the calmness and promiscuity of the young man.
Hong Tianbao said again: "We must learn the reality of pigs and abandon their stupidity; we must also learn the intelligence of dogs and abandon their inferiority; we must also learn the cleverness of rats and abandon their treacherousness; we must be as strong and domineering as a dragon, and bend and stretch like a snake; we must be as brave and fearless as a tiger, and also be as gentle as a sheep. The old saying goes: It is easy to break even if it is hard, and everything will turn back when it is extreme! This is what is said."
After saying this, the audience burst into applause again, all dedicated to this young man who was neither humble nor arrogant, and had a struggle. The older generation, such as Kong and others, showed a look of relief and expressed twelve satisfaction with Hong Tianbao's performance.
The reporter's face turned into a pig's liver immediately after his pale face, and was soon sent by Director Ning to "invited" him out.
