Arty Records

At the beginning of September in the 63rd year of the Republic of China, a corruption case of local officials occurred in Wumeng shantytown renovation in Liaozhou.The highest level directly intervened in the investigation and trial, pulled out the radish and brought out the mud, and dragged in miscellaneous things. Hundreds of people were sentenced to prison alone, and countless laid-offs were laid off.At this time, it has been a year and a half since the head of state was re-elected, and it has been a year since Fang Duzhi was officially promoted to the director of the Department of Higher Education.

Fang Sishen didn't pay attention to current affairs for several days, standing in the airport lobby, broadcasting the news on the electronic screen, only to see this major case that caused a national sensation recently.When I was trapped in Qingqiu Baishui, I almost lost my life. Looking back, it has been almost three years.Hong Xinyao and Xiao Liu stood beside him, watching the news silently without saying a word.

After the formalities are completed, queue up for the security check.Hong Xinyao educated his nephew with a sullen face, then stopped and watched the group of three go in.Fang Sishen turned her head and saw him standing outside the crowd, tall and silent.Perhaps, because of the increasing responsibilities that I consciously shoulder, the whole person's temperament is becoming more and more stable.At this time, he felt like a mountain.Fang Sishen smiled from the bottom of his heart and waved to him.Young Master Hong had his hands in his trouser pockets, but he suddenly raised his left hand, clenched it into a fist and brought it to his mouth. His lips touched the ring finger's ring lightly, and then he gave him a look, which was indescribably affectionate, gentle and arrogant.

Fang Sishen blushed and turned away from looking at him.Until I sat in the waiting hall, my heart beat didn't return to normal.

It went very well.Hong Wenlong adores Liu Huanhan and Liu Daxia.I don't know what his brother-in-law said to him, but the other doctor, Teacher Fang, also admires him from the bottom of his heart.It's just that the two of them are relatively easy to talk, and the child becomes very talkative, but fortunately, he becomes quiet when he gets tired in the end.

After arriving in Prius, Xiao Liu drove and together with Fang Sishen took Hong's parents and grandchildren to the residence - a dormitory shared by a group of preparatory students.Fang Sishen wanted to get out of the car, but was quietly dragged by Xiao Liu.I saw him jumping down to help unload the big suitcase, and after a few words, he came up immediately.

Seeing the child's round head looking around, Fang Sishen was a little worried: "That's it?"

Xiao Liu said: "That's it. Young Master Hong has ordered me to deduct money for violations. I will go to my teachers and classmates once a week to ask about the situation and report to Young Master Hong."

Fang Sishen nodded.It seems that yesterday was the lawless, mischievous and mischievous devil king, and today he is educating the younger generation in a human manner.There was an unspeakable emotion in my heart, melancholy and gratified.

At the beginning of the new school year, Fang Sishen continued to take his seminars and write his thesis, and the public exhibition of "Six Instruments of Nine Streams" also started as scheduled.The students in the research group, including Fang Sishen himself, will take turns serving as volunteer guides in the museum when it is convenient.Price University attaches great importance to this project, and the publicity is very good, and there are an endless stream of visitors.Because several laboratories are involved in the detection of cultural relics, sometimes, professors majoring in materials engineering or molecular research will bring their students to come and have a look. In the Museum of the Oriental Academy of Sciences, they will conduct an extended experiment analysis on the bronze wares of the ancient Xia Dynasty. class.

At the end of the year, according to the agreement, "Nine Creek Six Vessels" was transferred to the Fanxi Museum in Gordon City for exhibition.The Fanxi Museum is the largest comprehensive social science museum in Citigroup. The rare treasure of the Xia Dynasty, "Moshu Chubo", which was previously leased to Jingshi University for display, is the museum's collection.

On the day of transferring the cultural relics, not only Fang Sishen and Wei Deli followed, but even Professor Hotz escorted them in person.At the invitation of the other party, Fang Sishen took two graduate students to stay for three days to assist in the explanation. "Fanxi Museum" is worthy of being a professional boss, and it has done a small special exhibition very well.The cultural relic itself is of course the main body, but other related items, as well as the research results that have been formed, including the research and verification process that can be made public, are presented to the audience as part of the exhibition. I am amazed by my awareness of popular science.

The museum also sells peripheral souvenirs based on bronze inscription rubbings.Those beautiful and peculiar characters are so charming that almost every visitor can't help but buy one or two.

The ownership of the bronze ware belongs to Hong Xinyao, and the rubbings are made by Fang Sishen.When the museum proposed to make the merchandise, Fang Sishen's first reaction was how to divide it.Then shook his head and laughed.Those who are really close to the vermilion are those who are red and those who are close to the ink are dark. After staying with some "profiteers" for a long time, they have been influenced by their ears and eyes, and unconsciously they have the idea of ​​​​scheming.Later, I learned that this part of the museum's income was all invested in the Xia Xue research project, so I didn't have the nerve to ask someone about the money.In the end, Young Master Hong came forward and negotiated the sharing of all peripheral design rights. In the future, if the owner exhibits in other regions, he can directly make it and sell it.

On the third day of Fang Sishen's stay at the Fanxi Museum, he received several oriental guests.They looked at things carefully several times and asked many questions.At first, Fang Sishen thought he was a researcher in the field, but after a few more conversations, he realized that he was not.Although I am also very concerned about the value of cultural relics and the results of research, there is always an inadvertent trade-off between the words.Looking at the attire and demeanor, he suddenly felt similar to the elders of He's parents to some extent.The visitor spoke awkward Mandarin with a slight Nanyang accent, and Fang Sishen guessed that he might be an overseas Xia merchant who was interested in the culture of his hometown.

Unexpectedly, when the leader asked about it, he began to inquire about the owner's news.Fang Sishen was secretly startled, just shook his head and pretended not to know.When did he get used to this, his expression was already unnatural.The man tried a few words, and seeing that he would not reveal it, he gave up.

He Shenxing and most of the descendants of the He family live in Gordon City.After the work in the museum was finished, the students were sent back to school first. Fang Sishen stayed for one more day, and followed the driver who came to pick them up to visit.It was Christmas Eve, the busiest time for business, He Shenxing himself was relatively free, and his children were all rushing into the mall, so when Fang Sishen arrived, he was the only head of the family.He Shenxing's original partner was older than him and passed away.Later, she married another term and divorced not long after. Although she had no children, she still paid a large amount of alimony.So much so that after learning lessons, learning the Western style, only falling in love and not getting married.

After getting out of the car, the butler He Jingsheng, whom Fang Sishen had met a long time ago, was waiting at the door, took him into a small hall, and presented him with refreshments: "Master Zhirou, please wait here, the master will be here soon." While pouring tea, On the one hand, he added an explanation, "A few guests from afar have come here temporarily, so we can't do without entertaining them."

After Fang Sishen settled down, He Jingsheng withdrew.The small hall is luxuriously and comfortably furnished, much like a place for family members to relax.The floor-to-ceiling windows facing south are bright and transparent. Fang Sishen couldn't help standing in front of the window with a cup of tea, and found that this place overlooks the front view of the whole house.The sight is a flat lawn and a classical fountain, and the winter forest in the distance presents a deep indigo color, with an excellent view.

Several people came out from the main gate, and He Shenxing saw them off in person.Fang Sishen glanced at it inadvertently, and was stunned.The figures of that group of people were no strangers. They walked around the museum the day before, and it was hard not to recognize them.

After a while, He Shenxing really came in: "Zhirou, I'm sorry to keep you waiting."

"Uncle, it's okay, you have guests, don't be rude."

He Shenxing smiled: "No, you are from my own family, there is nothing rude about it."

Fang Sishen tried to say: "I just saw you seeing off the guests. Those of you went to the museum to see the exhibition yesterday. It happened that I received them."

When He Shenxing heard this, he said, "Oh? Is there such a thing? If I knew it was so destined, I just asked Jing Sheng to take you in and get to know each other."

Hearing what he said, Fang Sishen thought it would be okay to ask a few more questions: "Are those guests friends of Uncle?"

He Shenxing looked at his expression and asked, "You didn't recognize who that was?"

Fang Sishen thought for a while, but he really had no impression, so he shook his head.

"He is Qi Jiaying from Pearl Island."

"Huh?" Fang Sishen was surprised.If he pays more attention to political and economic affairs, he should be able to recognize this famous super rich man.After all, Qi Jiaying of Pearl Island has a higher appearance rate in domestic and foreign media than ordinary political leaders.

He Shenxing said: "He likes to collect antiques, and it's not unusual for him to go to museums."

Fang Sishen felt a little uneasy, but it was inconvenient to ask more questions, so he thought about going back to discuss with Hong Xinyao.He was going back to school that afternoon, which made He Shenxing very dissatisfied.After all, he finally agreed to let him go, but insisted that he immediately refund the train ticket, arrange for the driver to deliver it, and booked a stay for a few days during the Christmas holiday.

Next week is Christmas, Hong Xinyao is likely to come.Fang Sishen simply confessed the truth to his uncle.Probably He Shenwei had been vaccinated in advance, He Shenxing only said: "Then it will come again, come together, and I will see how he is."

Near the end of the period, there are actually not many regular classes to attend.It's just that Fang Sishen was thinking about the unfinished thesis at hand, and wanted to finish it before the festival.Unexpectedly, as soon as he returned to school, he was found by Wei Deli.

"Fang, someone contacted the research institute and wanted to ask the owner of Jiuxi Liuqi if he would sell it."

Unexpectedly, the other party persevered and chased after Prius.Fang Sishen asked, "Do you know who it is?"

Wei Deli took out a business card.Fang Sishen took it over and saw that it was an unfamiliar name, and his title was Secretary-General of Pearl Island Traditional Culture Association.He guessed it should be Qi Jiaying's person, probably for the sake of confidentiality and the convenience of inquiring information, he hung the banner of a non-governmental organization.

"I told him that the owner probably didn't intend to sell it, but I promised to ask him. The gentleman was very active and said that he was in Citigroup recently and was waiting for news at any time. Isn't Hong coming in two days? Do you think he will Wouldn't consider..."

Fang Sishen pinched his business card and murmured, "Well... let me talk to him."

Wei Deli looked at him with some shame: "Fang, don't be angry, that person said that if the transaction is successful, there will be a considerable amount of donation. Even if it is unsuccessful, as long as you contact the owner, their association will send a batch of books Give us the library. You know, Pearl Island has a special status in the field of oriental studies, so..."

Fang Sishen smiled when he heard this: "Daniel, you don't have to be embarrassed. I'll ask him to see if he will help you earn these books for free."

The two discussed the holiday arrangements again, and agreed that after Hong Xinyao came, they would visit Wei Deli's house together before the festival.Recently, the publisher intends to republish Wei Junren's biography and manuscripts. Wei Deli wants to take this opportunity to revise it carefully and add some personal thoughts.So he invited Fang Sishen to play at home, and by the way, admired the manuscript diary of his grandfather, and also gave some comments on the new book.

Hong Xinyao made arrangements early and made time to come to Citigroup for the holidays.Wang Hui and Liang Ruogu had already returned to China in summer, and the rented house was transferred to Young Master Hong, and Fang Sishen no longer lived in the dormitory.Hong Xinyao only said to his nephew that he was staying with a friend, and he was not even allowed to have a meal.Fang Sishen couldn't bear it, seeing the children eat junk food all day long, so he asked Xiao Liu to bring Hong Wenlong over to eat from time to time.Gradually getting to know each other well, the child even ate and took, flirting with a girl with the delicious summer food that came along, and in less than half a year, he actually met an authentic foreign beauty who was several years older than him.Because I want to chase my girlfriend, my Spanish level will naturally improve by leaps and bounds, and my life as a student abroad is like a fish in water.

Fang Sishen looked at the round, chubby and smiling face, and had to admit that, in terms of his ability to adapt to the environment, and his cunning and cunning in dealing with people, this eldest grandson of the Hong family did not disgrace his family in the slightest.

Hong Xinyao inspected his nephew's homework, left a bunch of homework for the holidays, and gave some extra bonuses.Draw a board and give a candy, show your kindness and give your parents a pie.The homework was tailor-made by Fang Sishen for Hong Wenlong in advance, the child didn't know the tricks behind it, he only felt that his uncle knew everything and could do anything, and he respected and feared in his heart.

After staying in Prius for one day, the two returned home with Wade Li, planning to stay for two nights, and then spend Christmas with He Shenxing in Gordon City.Young Master Hong came in person, and Liu Huohan, a light bulb, turned into a tutor and supervised Young Master Hong's holiday study and life full-time.

Wei Deli's house was left to him by his grandfather Wei Junren, and his parents and brothers lived elsewhere.He usually lives in the school dormitory, and he rarely comes back when he is free.The house is in the beautiful Lake District, old and empty.In addition to Fang Sishen and Hong Xinyao, there was also the prodigal grandson of the Harold family who came uninvited.Judging from the meaning of the conversation, this little Mr. Harold not only wants to stay here as a guest, but also plans to stay with Wade Li at his parents' place to join in the fun until Christmas.

One day, Fang Hong and the two were flipping through the photocopy of Wei Junren's diary in the study, and Wei Deli hurried in with his mobile phone: "Hong, it's the gentleman from Pearl Island."

Hong Xinyao took it, exchanged a few pleasantries, and then only listened to what the other party said.After a while, he said, "Excuse me, are you the buyer himself?"

There seemed to be a lot of explanations over there, Young Master Hong listened calmly, and finally replied: "If you really want to, please contact me by the buyer himself. If it's not the buyer himself, forget it." Lifting his thumb lightly, he hung up directly.

Wei Deli frowned: "Hong! You are so rude."

The phone rang again, still with the same number, which showed that the other party did not give up.

Hong Xinyao threw the phone back to Wei Deli: "You are polite, you talk to him. It's the same sentence, it's not the buyer himself, so don't talk about it! Anyway, as long as you talk to me, they will agree to donate books to you ?”

Sure enough, Wei Deli politely chatted with the other party again.After hanging up, he looked embarrassed: "Hong, he said your voice was too young, suspected that it wasn't the owner himself, and said we lied to him."

Hong Xinyao was taken aback for a moment, and then he was overjoyed: "Ha, it's because you, the school manager, don't have enough credit. Anyway, I'm not going to sell it, he will believe it or not."

Fang Sishen said softly: "This way...will I offend someone?" The other party's possible background, he has already explained to Hong Xinyao.

Young Master Hong snorted: "It's nice to see the King of Hades, but it's hard to be a kid. If it's really the buyer himself, it doesn't matter whether he succeeds or not, it doesn't matter if he is polite. This kind of guy is wasting time and saliva. I don't have time to play Tai Chi with him. "

The next day, when the two were waiting to board the plane to Gordon City, Hong Xinyao suddenly received a call from Wei Deli.

"Hey, I said Daniel, we've only been apart for half an hour, you think I'm like this?"

"Hong, listen to me, the call just came, the buyer wants to meet you in person, can you tell him your phone number?"

Hong Xinyao squinted his eyes, looking like this, it was about to be real.

"Daniel, tell me the secretary-general's number, and I'll call him back."

This time it was more polite.Obviously, he knew it in his heart, and when the other party reported Qi Jiaying's name, Young Master Hong was still very surprised.A few words were exchanged, respectfully added: "How dare you work hard for Mr. Qi. I will return to China in three days, and then I will transfer to Pearl Island to visit Mr. Qi. I wonder if it is convenient?"

In a few words, the meeting was finalized.

Even though he was used to how he put on airs, Fang Sishen still couldn't help pursing his lips in joy.

Hong Xinyao hugged his shoulders, with a deep expression on his face: "Brother, what should we do? The rich man came to the door, I'm afraid he will buy and sell by force."

Fang Sishen couldn't laugh anymore.Frowning: "Even if he is rich, he won't be able to buy and sell by force."

Hong Xinyao leaned his head on his shoulder, looked at the wall lamp in the corner, put his lips next to his ear, and lowered his voice: "That's what I said, I'm afraid the situation is threatening... These things have made such a big commotion and become more and more serious. It's getting hotter and hotter. I don't think it can always be kept outside, but now no matter where it is moved, as long as there is a slight disturbance, it will attract countless people's attention. Our domestic rules allow entry and no exit. Besides, cultural relics belong to the state All, if such an eye-catching thing is brought back, someone will mobilize it immediately. They say it’s not for nothing, but who knows what will happen in the end, but there are too many loopholes... If someone is jealous, they will plot against my dad before they do it. This kind of thing, I really can't afford to go around... Besides, my current status is also quite troublesome, and I suddenly became a half-public family member, this...public image is also very important..."

The newly established Jinxi Mining Group is a state-owned enterprise. Master Hong graduated from university and officially took over the position of deputy general manager of Hejin Branch.If it weren't for the fact that the government is gradually abolishing the administrative ranks of state-owned enterprise managers, Young Master Hong and Director Fang, the master of Taishan, would have another layer of intersection: colleagues in the officialdom.

Fang Sishen listened to him chattering endlessly in his ear: "Of course face is important, but if you change face for such a valuable thing, you will be in a panic no matter how you think about it. So I think it is still impossible to get it back... But if you don't get it back, sooner or later Let people know, and then they will be more passive. At this moment, there are quite a few people who know..."

Suddenly he interrupted: "I'll ask Uncle He's family if I can ask him to help me communicate. If... it's really that Mr. Qi himself, A Yao, I think... you can consider giving it to him."

Hong Xinyao was already hesitating, only worried that Fang Sishen would not be able to let go, at this moment he said in surprise, "You don't object?"

"We can ask for a public exhibition on Pearl Island first, and provide researchers with a number of opportunities for physical research every year-these are all negotiable. Although it is a pity, but...a risk we cannot afford, for those It’s probably not a problem for Mr. Qi. Moreover, when it comes to public image, he should care even more. I think he is unlikely to transfer it to outsiders.” Fang Sishen smiled, “Didn’t you always look forward to this opportunity to sit on the ground and raise the price? ? I heard that he is unimaginably rich, so maybe he won't think it expensive."

Young Master Hong straightened his legs, crossed them, and leaned on Fang Sishen limply with his upper body: "It's unbelievably rich...Damn, even you know how rich he is..."

Fang Sishen smiled lightly.To a certain level of money, for ordinary people, there is no concept, let alone emotions.Perhaps, it was Hong Xinyao who was upset because he still had some money and had a clearer concept.

The two stayed at He Shenxing's place for a few days, when the He family's peers saw that He Zhirou had brought back a same-sex lover, they were surprised, but their attitudes turned out to be much closer.Hong Xinyao watched coldly, remembering the reminder He Shenwei had given, and understood that they thought they had caught Fang Sishen.Because the old man He Weisi had conservative ideas, if Fang Sishen wanted to fight for something, just because of his homosexuality alone would be enough to fall out of favor.

He didn't point it out to Fang Sishen, the young master acted very naturally.Hong Xinyao gave He Shenxing a painting, and after two days, he invited his uncle to watch the live auction together.He Shenxing wanted to relax, so he followed them.Several works of Xia Guo contemporary art commissioned by Zhenxintang sold for a good price. Among them, a Song-style ink painting "Dragon and Rain Picture" sold for the highest price, 30 Citi Gold.He Shenxing stared at the painting in a daze for a while.What Hong Xinyao gave him was the same series of works by the same author, which was much more magnificent than the one that was auctioned.At first I didn't take it very seriously, but at this moment I felt that it was a bit inappropriate to accept such an expensive gift from a junior whom I met for the first time.

Hong Dashao didn't care: "Traditional ink painting is a new hot spot recently. We plan to make a good package to promote this artist. It is estimated that it can increase a lot."

He Shenxing looked at him: "Is your overseas branch of Zhenxintang here?"

When Hong Xinyao heard this, he immediately showed a flattered expression, mixed with just the right amount of admiration and expectation: "I'm considering moving to Gordon City. After all, the environment here is good and the quality is high..."
