Xiao Ran and the others saw the motorcade before they arrived at the hotel entrance.
Several company employees and security personnel who had arrived in Boston in advance were standing at the door of the hotel waiting for the joint exploration team.
In addition, there were several media reporters with cameras at the door of the hotel, as well as two hotel executives wearing name badges and several strangers.
While talking, the motorcade had arrived at the entrance of the hotel and stopped end to end.
After confirming that the scene was safe, Xiao Ran and the others got out of the car and stood in front of the hotel.
Others in the joint exploration team also got out of the car, and each took their luggage, various archaeological exploration equipment, and supplies from the car.
The company employees and security personnel waiting at the entrance of the hotel immediately came to greet them.
Coming closer, one of the employees immediately said:
"Good afternoon, Sean. All rooms are ready and have been thoroughly cleaned by the hotel."
"According to your instructions, the top two floors of the Ritz-Carlton Hotel have been reserved for us. There are no other tourists!"
Before he finished speaking, William, who was in charge of security, continued:
"We have carefully inspected all the rooms occupied by the joint exploration team and cleaned them very cleanly."
"The presidential suite you are staying in has been checked several times and there are no problems. You can check in with confidence."
Xiao Ran looked at them, then smiled and nodded.
"Good job, guys! Please report other matters upstairs."
While they were talking, Professor Baker and the others came over.
The strangers waiting at the door of the hotel, as well as the hotel's top brass, also walked this way.
Seeing these guys, Professor Adrian suddenly said angrily:
"Samuel, you cunning old guy, tell me honestly, have you planted a spy in Yale?"
"Otherwise how did you know that the joint exploration team arrived in Boston today and stayed at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel?"
Before he finished speaking, a white man in his sixties opposite said with a smile:
"Adrian, you are still so stingy. Are we going to plant any spies in Yale?"
"You don't know how many pairs of eyes are staring at your joint exploration team right now!"
"As soon as you left Yale in the morning, we saw relevant news in the media, including the hotel you were about to stay in."
"That's why we came here to wait."
While they were talking, Professor Baker and the others had gathered together with these strangers and greeted each other.
It was obvious that they knew each other and were old friends.
But because of this joint exploration operation, Professor Baker and the others were wary of each other, and even had a hint of hostility.
After greeting each other, Professor Baker and the others came over with the guys.
Coming closer, a guy in a suit and leather tie with a hotel manager badge said politely with a smile on his face:
"Good afternoon, Mr. Sean, I am Ethan, the general manager of the Ritz-Carlton"
“Welcome to Boston, welcome to the Ritz-Carlton, and wish you a pleasant trip to Boston!”
"Good afternoon, Mr. Ethan, your hotel looks very nice. I like this building and the surrounding scenery."
Xiao Ran smiled and nodded, bumping elbows with the other party.
Before he finished speaking, Professor Baker and the others were already approaching.
"Sean, let me introduce to you. These guys are all from the Harvard School of History."
"They are Samuel, Langdon and Julian, all old foxes!"
Adrian introduced the strangers.
Without exception, those few are professors from the Harvard School of History.
Everyone knows why they are here.
"Good afternoon, professors, I'm Sean, nice to meet you."
Xiao Ran smiled and said hello to each other, and stepped forward to bump elbows with everyone.
"Good afternoon, Sean, I'm Samuel, welcome to Boston"
"We have known you as a magical treasure hunter for a long time. I didn't expect you to be younger and more handsome than the news."
Samuel said politely and complimented Xiao Ran a few words.
At the same time, he and two other Harvard History professors looked at Xiao Ran curiously.
Everyone got to know each other, and after a few polite words, Julian suddenly whispered:
"Sean, our Harvard School of History is also interested in participating in this joint exploration operation. Is it possible?"
"No university knows Boston better than Harvard. The Harvard Library has all the historical materials of Boston from the day it was founded."
“The joining of our School of History at Harvard University will definitely make this joint exploration operation more efficient and more likely to succeed!”
Upon hearing this, Professor Baker and the others immediately became anxious.
The eyes of several professors from the Yale School of History stood up, and they were ready to refute.
Xiao Ran smiled and shook his head and said:
"I'm very sorry, gentlemen, our company's cooperation with the Yale School of History is exclusive."
"I don't plan to accept the participation of a third party, but I believe that there will definitely be opportunities to cooperate with Harvard University in the future."
After the words fell, a look of disappointment immediately flashed in the eyes of several Harvard School of History professors.
Looking at Professor Baker and the others, their eyes were filled with excitement and a bit of pride.
"Sean is right, our cooperation is exclusive, so don't think about causing trouble."
“The archaeological rights and all scholarly research on this colonial treasure belong solely to us at Yale.”
Samuel looked at Xiao Ran, Professor Baker and the others, thought for a moment, then nodded and said:
"In this case, we have no choice but to organize our own exploration team and explore!"
"I have seen the treasure map that Professor Baker has studied for many years, and it is quite familiar to me."
"I really want to see which of our two exploration teams can discover this hidden colonial treasure."
Hearing this, several Yale professors rolled their eyes angrily and were furious!
"Are all Harvard professors bastards? It's unreasonable!"
Looking at Xiao Ran again, he smiled and nodded.
"Of course, no problem, Samuel, it is your freedom to form an exploration team to find this colonial treasure."
"In fact, I am also very interested in who will eventually find this colonial treasure."
"But I still want to give you a few words of advice. It's best not to waste time, energy, and money. It's all in vain!"
"If you have that time and energy, what could you do?"
"Hahaha"
There was a burst of laughter, and Professor Baker and the others laughed.
Elaine and the others standing in the back, as well as other members of the joint exploration team nearby, were also laughing.
Looking at several history professors at Harvard, their expressions were a little embarrassed and their teeth were itching.
After chatting for a few more words, Xiao Ran took Elaine and the others to the hotel.
At this moment, several media reporters guarding the door of the hotel finally took the opportunity and began to ask questions loudly.
"Good afternoon, Mr. Sean. I am a reporter from the Boston Globe. Welcome to Boston."
"Excuse me, where is the colonial treasure you came to explore in Boston? What is in the treasure? Can you give us some information?"
A female reporter in her thirties asked.
Xiao Ran turned to look at the other person, then nodded with a smile and said:
"Good afternoon, my journalist friend, thank you for your attention."
"Boston is a city with a long history and beautiful scenery. I like it here and have wanted to travel here for a long time. Now I finally got my wish!"
"As for the colonial treasures explored this time, I am sorry that I cannot reveal any information. That would be tantamount to causing trouble for myself and making it more difficult, so I'm sorry!"
As soon as he finished speaking, another media reporter continued:
"Good afternoon, Mr. Shawn. I'm a reporter from Boston Public Television."
"Since this colonial treasure is in Boston, if you successfully find this treasure, what will Boston gain?"
Xiao Ran looked at this guy, thought for a moment, and then responded.
"Good afternoon, my journalist friend, your question is a bit sharp and difficult to answer."
"How to distribute this colonial treasure depends on the specific situation and analysis. It is too early to say this now."
After saying that, he waved to the media reporters, and then led Elaine and the others through the hotel door.
Immediately afterwards, Professor Baker and the others pushed their luggage and walked into the hotel.
Several Harvard University history professors who were left standing at the door were staring at Xiao Ran's back with fear in their eyes.
"This magical boy seems to be very confident! Maybe he can actually find the legendary colonial treasure!"
Julian whispered, with a bit of anticipation in his eyes.
As a history professor, he also wanted to see the colonial treasure discovered as soon as possible, regardless of his personal opinions.
After the words fell, Samuel nodded immediately.
"This kid is always able to create all kinds of miracles. His luck is incredible. Maybe he will create another miracle this time."
"But we can't relax. This is Boston, not New Haven. We can't let those guys from Yale focus on beauty!"
After whispering for a few words, several Harvard history professors turned around and left, going back to prepare for the next exploration!
Just as they drove away, Xiao Ran had entered the presidential suite on the top floor of the Ritz-Carlton, overlooking the old city of Boston!
