The next afternoon, Zhuang Rui drove to the airport early and waited for more than two hours before the flight from *** to *** landed at the Capital Airport.
"Peng Fei!"
Zhuang Rui waved to Peng Fei who was getting off the plane. Peng Fei, who was carrying a box in his hand, ran over immediately and said: "Brother Zhuang, the Chinese New Year is coming soon. My family is so busy. I told you not to pick it up..."
"You kid, just be good if you get the advantage..."
Zhuang Rui smiled and punched Peng Fei in the chest. He looked up and saw Professor Tian walking towards him and hurriedly greeted him.
Although there were no major flaws in Zhuang Rui's plan this time, if it hadn't been for Professor Tian's cooperation and if Shan Mu had refused to damage the porcelain, I really don't know how this matter would have ended?
Zhuang Rui stretched out his hands to shake Professor Tian's and said with a smile: "Teacher Tian, I saw you fighting back the Japanese pirates yesterday..."
"You kid, you didn't do this properly. You shocked me so much yesterday that I almost had a heart attack. Don't let it happen again..."
Although Professor Tian was scolding Zhuang Rui, he still had a smile on his face. It is definitely the happiest thing for Chinese people to see Japanese people being defeated, especially the older generation.
After this incident, the relationship between Professor Tian and Zhuang Rui has become much closer. After all, they are both comrades in the same trench. It's just that one charges in front and the other makes plans behind.
"Professor Meng, someone from the association is picking you up outside, so I'm going to leave first. I'll host you in a few days, and you must show your respect..."
Tian Fan caused quite a stir in *** this time. Not only the academic community, but also the relevant national departments also noticed this incident. Now there are at least several hundred people greeting Professor Tian outside the airport, so Zhuang Rui has
These words.
"No, I, Lao Tian, are most afraid of this. I usually don't want to go to meetings, so I'll just follow your car..."
When Professor Tian heard Zhuang Rui mention this, he immediately grimaced. Even though he appeared calm and composed on TV, in fact, he usually didn't talk much and was not mentally prepared to be a hero.
Zhuang Rui hesitated for a moment and said: "Isn't this... bad? There are so many people waiting outside..." If Professor Tian really ran away with him, wouldn't the people outside come in vain?
"I, Lao Tian, have never enjoyed that kind of treatment in my life, and I don't want to be out of the limelight. Besides, I am not the only one on the expert team..."
Professor Tian paused for a moment before saying this, and then said: "Some people like to be lively the most, so I will leave the opportunity to them. Xiaozhuang, you tricked me this time, so I have to help you with this little favor..."
As Professor Tian spoke, he opened the car door and got in. Before his press conference, there was great internal dissent. Not only did the experts who went to the *** not agree, but even the team leader did not agree.
In the end, Professor Tian withstood the pressure and wrote a letter of guarantee. Only then did he get the acquiescence of the relevant leaders. Therefore, at the press conference, Professor Tian was the only expert present.
Therefore, Professor Tian is not too fond of these people. He would rather go home and eat the food cooked by his wife than engage in formalities such as celebration parties to help the so-called leaders increase their political achievements.
"Okay, if you speak, please do as you please..."
Zhuang Rui suddenly remembered his father-in-law's instructions, and then said: "Professor Tian, if you get on this car, you are not allowed to run away while I celebrate your victory..."
As soon as Professor Tian heard what Zhuang Rui said, before he could speak, Zhuang Rui waved his hands to the few people who had just got off the plane and drove away. The people behind him looked at each other in confusion, wondering what happened.
…
The standard of meeting the expert group this time was quite high. There were hundreds of people gathered at the airport exit, including leaders from the Palace Museum, leaders from the Ministry of Culture, presidents of the Communist Association, and various non-governmental organizations.
There were several big signs saying "Welcome to Professor Tian" from the expert team. However, after everyone had left, only a few other experts were seen, but Professor Tian was nowhere to be seen.
"Where's Professor Tian? Why are there only a few of you?" a shy, fat-bellied man who looked like a leader asked the leader of the expert group.
"Director Wu, Tian...Professor Tian was picked up by Teacher Zhuang..." The team leader himself is from the Ministry of Culture. Now that he met the leader, he stammered a bit.
"What a nonsense, Mr. Zhuang is not Teacher Zhuang? There are so many of us waiting here, isn't this unorganized and undisciplined? Call that Mr. Zhuang and ask him to come back!"
Well, when Director Wu heard that someone was more respectable than him, he immediately became furious. Among the people at the scene, he had the highest administrative level, and he immediately became angry.
"Director Wu, that teacher Zhuang..."
Someone in the expert team knew Zhuang Rui, and he whispered a few words in Director Wu's ear. Director Wu's expression changed and he said: "Experts have worked hard this time. Please get in the car. The department will give you some advice."
Everyone has prepared a celebration party..."
Director Wu seemed to have forgotten the unhappiness he had just felt. He shook hands with all the experts one by one without changing his expression and took the lead in leaving the airport.
It's just that now the official leader has disappeared, the remaining experts have not shown their faces on TV at all, and no one has spoken on behalf of the guests. This reception was an anticlimactic one.
However, Director Wu no longer dared to speak evil words or show off his authority. How could he offend the minister's nephew?
…
"Brother Zhuang, it's better to have sex. There's so much joy on the street..."
The day after tomorrow is New Year's Eve, and the city is newly decorated and the atmosphere of the New Year is everywhere.
People's lives have improved over the years, and they are increasingly reminded of the atmosphere during the New Year's Eve in the 1970s and 1980s. The gun ban was also lifted. Sitting in the car, I can hear the scattered sound of firecrackers coming from the streets from time to time.
"Yes, your kid is going to be a father soon. Life goes by so fast..."
Zhuang Rui's thoughts were aroused by Peng Fei's words. This was already the second year he had lived in ***, and there were almost changes every year. If it hadn't been for the birth of his children, Zhuang Rui would have almost felt a sense of discomfort.
Real feeling.
"It's been okay these past few years. The old-fashioned spirit has returned, but it's still far behind compared to the 1970s and 1980s..."
Professor Tian also felt that society was developing faster and faster, but some old traditions had also been eliminated, such as monkey tricks and those who sold powerful pills and swallowed swords. These bridge tricks were the most common in Professor Tian's era.
"Hey, Xiaozhuang, where are you taking me?"
While Professor Tian was talking, he couldn't help but feel a little confused when he saw the car driving towards the suburbs.
"Haha, Professor Tian, we have prepared a banquet at home, and I want you to tell us the thrilling story of this trip to Japan..."
Zhuang Rui laughed when he heard this. He had just sent a text message to his mother and planned to entertain Professor Meng at home in the evening, just in time for his father-in-law to see him. Last night, Qin Haoran took Zhuang Rui and talked about it for half the night.
"You kid, I haven't even met my wife yet, don't think something has happened..."
Professor Tian shook his head, took out his mobile phone and called home. In fact, he also admired the mysterious figure who made these pieces of porcelain, and wanted to talk to Zhuang Rui.
…
"Dad, this is Professor Tian, Teacher Tian. This is my father-in-law. He admires you very much. No, bringing you here is just my father-in-law's order..."
After Zhuang Rui had more contact with Qin Haoran, he felt that his father-in-law was very open-minded, so he would make a few jokes no matter what.
Qin Haoran was like a star-struck fan at this moment, stepping forward and holding Professor Tian's hand tightly, and said: "My dear Qin Haoran, welcome Teacher Tian. Teacher Tian's style on TV puts us to shame...
…”
"I dare not take it seriously. I am just an executor, and Xiaozhuang is the mastermind..."
Seeing Qin Haoran's gentle and elegant appearance, Professor Tian did not dare to neglect, smiled and said: "I am a few years younger than you in England, so just call me Brother Tian..."
"What executor, mastermind?"
Qin Haoran was a little confused, but he still got out of the way and invited Professor Tian into the living room. Mr. Qin also stood in the hall to greet him, and everyone greeted him again.
The food at home had been prepared long ago. In order to allow the men to chat better, Ouyang Wan took his wife and mother-in-law to another restaurant for dinner, leaving the place to Zhuang Rui and others.
Mr. Qin was not in good health and was already over eighty years old, but he still insisted on offering Professor Tian a glass of wine, and then with Qin Xuanbing's support, he went back to his room to rest.
"Teacher Tian, first of all, I would like to congratulate you on your trip to the *** for making our country more prestigious. Let's have a drink..." After the old man left, Zhuang Rui raised his glass and gave a toast to Professor Tian.
In fact, Zhuang Rui asked Peng Fei to go to the hospital this time and prepared more than one plan. Telling Professor Tian the whole story was just one of the plans he prepared.
Although he had contact with Tian Fanduo before, Zhuang Rui never expected that Professor Tian had such character and was able to actually accomplish this matter under tremendous pressure.
"Xiao Zhuang, you know better than anyone else what is going on in this matter, so there is no need to rub powder on my Lao Tian's face..."
Professor Tian finished the glass of wine without moving his chopsticks, and continued: "Although you took a risk, the result was not bad, but you can't do it again next time. This kind of thing is unique...
"
"Teacher Tian, I understand. No matter what, I still have to thank you for this matter, otherwise I really don't know how to end it..."
Zhuang Rui nodded, pretending to be taught. The turmoil and impact caused by this incident were far beyond Zhuang Rui's imagination. He really didn't dare to let him play like this again.
"Brother Tian, what are you...what are you talking about?"
Qin Haoran had doubts in his mind since he was at the door just now. Now that he heard the conversation between the two, he was even more confused. It seemed that his son-in-law was related to the "ancient porcelain" incident.
