Zhou Ming rested at home for a few days, and then went to his unit, the State Administration of Cultural Heritage, to report. It has been four or five years since he joined the State Administration of Cultural Heritage, and this was his first time reporting there.
Zhou Ming quickly entered the Cultural Relics Bureau with his work permit, and then went straight to Professor Chen Jianxin's office. Professor Chen Jianxin then led Zhou Ming to report to the Human Resources Department of the Cultural Relics Bureau.
"Chunming, I have some bad news for you." Chen Jianxin looked at Zhou Ming with a troubled expression.
"Ah? Professor, what happened?" Zhou Ming was frightened by the sudden confusion of Professor Chen Jianxin.
"Your job has been assigned to the Exchange and Cooperation Department of the Cultural Relics Bureau, which is the Office for the Retrieval and Return of Lost Cultural Relics."
"Huh? What about you, professor?"
"I'm still in the Qin and Han History Group of the Archeology Department."
"Professor, why did you suddenly assign me to the Exchange and Cooperation Department?" Zhou Ming was filled with doubts at this time.
"Hey! This is all because of the interview we accepted on Beijing TV before we left Changsha." Professor Chen Jianxin explained with a wry smile.
"Huh? Interview?"
"Chunming, you must not have seen that interview, right?"
"No! We don't have a TV or a radio at home."
"Your interview spread to the capital. Many leaders thought your image was very good, so they placed you in the Exchange and Cooperation Department of the Cultural Relics Bureau."
"Professor, my foreign language proficiency is only half good. Is it inappropriate for me to go to the Exchange and Cooperation Department?" Zhou Ming, who understood the cause and effect, suddenly looked at Professor Chen Jianxin with a wry smile.
"Chunming, the leaders have their own arrangements. I guess they may give you unexpected foreign language training!"
As expected, things did not go beyond Professor Chen Jianxin's expectations. After Zhou Ming arrived at the Personnel Department, a section chief from the Personnel Department took Zhou Ming to the Exchange and Cooperation Department.
"Han Chunming, our Cultural Relics Bureau has nine main departments including the Office, Policy and Regulation Department, Inspection Department, Cultural Relics and Monuments Department, Archaeological Department, Museum and Social Cultural Relics Department, Revolutionary Cultural Relics Department, Science and Technology Education Department and Exchange and Cooperation Department. You are in the Communication and Cooperation Department.”
"Thank you, Chief Qin, for clarifying my doubts."
"You're welcome. We are all colleagues. If you encounter something you don't understand in the future, you can always come to the Human Resources Department and ask me." Section Chief Qin patted Zhou Ming's shoulder affectionately, then approached Zhou Ming and whispered, "There's more. ! I saw your TV interview, what you said was really good! It makes us archaeologists look bad!"
"Haha, Chief Qin, I will keep up my efforts."
"Well, now in our Chinese archaeological community, you, Han Chunming, can be considered a pretty big celebrity. This job assignment was personally ordered by the big shots above."
"Haha, I didn't expect this TV interview to have such a big impact." Zhou Ming was also full of emotion.
"What do you think? Nowadays, every family that can own a TV is not a big shot, so your fame is still very important."
"Huh? Looks like I really have to work hard."
Soon Section Chief Qin brought Zhou Ming to the Exchange and Cooperation Department, and then a deputy director of the Exchange and Cooperation Department came forward to receive Zhou Ming in person, "Are you Han Chunming? You are indeed a talented person, much more elegant than what you see on TV. "
"Haha, the director is so flattering."
"Han Chunming, this is your desk. You need to learn English as soon as possible and reach a level where you can communicate. Then you can just organize the files and information in the department." The deputy director smiled and pointed to an empty desk. He said, and then suddenly looked at Zhou Ming in confusion, "By the way! You studied English at Peking University before, right?"
"Director, I learned some English by myself at Peking University, and I still have some basic English skills."
"Well, that's good! Then hurry up and improve your English."
"Yes! Director."
There were not many people in the Exchange and Cooperation Department. There were only three people in this office, including himself. Zhou Ming didn’t know the specific situation, and he didn’t ask around. After getting to know the other two colleagues, he handed the director to himself. I started learning English-Chinese dictionaries and English materials.
I was a German translator in the last world, and I was also proficient in both English and Japanese. But now my personality is that of a worker@peasant@soldier college student, so I must pretend to learn English.
…
Zhou Ming did not expect that being interviewed by a TV station would have such a big impact. Soon, the interview was no longer limited to TV broadcasts, but also began to be spread on radio stations and newspapers. Zhou Ming suddenly became the archeology of the capital, and even the entire China. Celebrities in the world.
Zhou Ming has always maintained a low-key attitude and generally doesn't like to appear in the public eye. After all, there are too many things that lead to the first place. Fortunately, Zhou Ming's fame this time is limited to the archaeological world. If he becomes a rising star on campus like Cheng Jianjun, Zhou Ming can I don't have the guts anymore.
The most widely circulated media in today's era is "Renren Daily", which is also one of the most widely circulated newspapers at this stage. The exclusive interview report of the Mawangdui Han Tomb Archaeological Team was soon published in "Renren Daily" above.
Cheng's father picked up today's "Renren Daily" nonchalantly and saw today's front page headlines. After learning some of the country's policies and regulations, he then flipped to today's supplement section and saw a group photo at the first glance. .
This group photo is a group photo of the archaeological team participating in the excavation of Mawangdui Han Tomb in Changsha, Hunan Province. A young man standing in the middle is particularly conspicuous because he is surrounded by middle-aged and elderly people who are at least thirty or forty years old. Only This young man looked particularly sunny and capable, and the smile on his face was like the rising sun at seven or eight o'clock.
"Han Chunming?" Father Cheng was so familiar with this smiling face that he suddenly felt jealous for no reason.
Thinking that his sons Cheng Jianjun and Zhou Ming were in the same year and were both recommended to the best Peking University, I didn't expect that the situations they encountered would be so different.
It was only then that Cheng's father realized that Zhou Ming was not just a fool who was just trying to make up for his mistakes. Instead, he stepped on the node of the times every step of the way and realized Zhou Ming's own destiny.
Then I thought about the fact that my son was being transferred back from Fangshan County to work at the piano factory in Beijing. At first, I was a little happy that things were coming to an end, but now I was extinguished by this report in Renren Daily.
This is "Renren Daily", the first newspaper in China!
The status represented in China was so important that Cheng's father couldn't help but feel crazy jealous at this time, wishing that the photo was his son Cheng Jianjun.
There were many people who saw this report at the same time, and many of them had different senses. Some of the Cheng family were envious, jealous, and hateful, while others were proud and ecstatic like the Han family. Of course, there were also Su Meng's family who had a broken mentality. of.
Looking at this Zhou Ming who is at the height of his power, Su Meng, who grew up with Zhou Ming as a childhood sweetheart, is undoubtedly the hardest one to accept. Suddenly, I feel that this world is really fantasy. I never thought that Zhou Ming, whom I once disdained the most, would suddenly bloom so dazzlingly. of light.
"Han Chunming, I heard that you have been participating in archaeology in Changsha, Hunan Province in the past few years?" Su Meng finally came hesitantly and blocked Zhou Ming who was off work.
"Yes! Mawangdui Han Tomb in Changsha."
"Then do you have time to tell me about your archaeological experience?" Su Meng suddenly lowered her head shyly and said, feeling that Zhou Ming was so charming at this time, "I'm actually quite curious about your archaeological work."
"Ah? This is really unfortunate. I have been transferred to a foreign-related department of the Cultural Relics Bureau. I need to learn English as soon as possible, so I really don't have time now." Zhou Ming explained to Su Meng with a wry smile.
"Ah? Your cultural relics bureau also has a foreign-related department?"
"Yes! The Exchange and Cooperation Department is responsible for pursuing and returning cultural relics everywhere." Zhou Ming explained with a smile.
"Ah? Forget it! I won't hinder your study."
"Haha, let's talk about it when we have the chance!"
"Well, goodbye." Su Meng was rare to be so polite to Zhou Ming.
…
At this time, Cheng Jianjun, who was far away in Fangshan County, also saw the report of "Renren Daily". The jealousy in his heart was enough to drive him crazy. He once again picked up the phone on the table and called his father in Beijing to urge Cheng's father. Let him return to work in the capital as soon as possible.
"Dad, are my work matters settled?"
"It's settled! The deputy chief of the publicity section of the piano factory."
"Well, when will my transfer order come out? I don't want to stay in this ravine anymore." Cheng Jianjun said anxiously.
"Haha, it's almost time! I'll help you urge it again."
"Thank you, Dad!" Cheng Jianjun was also polite to his father for a rare moment.
"Silly son, as long as you can work hard, your father and I will be satisfied."
"Dad, don't worry! I will definitely trample Han Chunming under my feet again."
"Jianjun, have you seen that report too?" Cheng's father suddenly realized something.
"Yes! Han Chunming is really a villain."
Because many educated youth began to return to the city in 1975, Cai Xiaoli, Yang Huajian and Mao Tutu had all returned to the capital. Of course, they also saw this report about Zhou Ming, and they all thought about their former junior high school classmate in different ways.
"Huajian, is this Han Chunming your junior high school classmate?" Father Yang looked at his son Yang Huajian thoughtfully.
"Dad, Han Chunming is my junior high school classmate." Yang Huajian replied affirmatively, and then carefully explained Zhou Ming's specific situation, "In 1969, we were originally going to join the team in Fangshan County together, but I don't know what happened. For some reason, he was arranged to stay in the capital and sweep the streets."
"Well, I investigated this matter later and found out that Han Chunming was in poor health. The local sub-district office considered his medical problems and temporarily left him to work in the capital." After hearing the introduction from his son Yang Huajian, Father Yang also He nodded and continued.
"Ah? Han Chunming is as strong as a cow. What disease could he have?" Yang Huajian didn't know the specific situation that year.
"That's not clear. Later, because of his advanced work as a street sweeper, he was recommended to the history department of Peking University. Later, he was specially recruited by the State Administration of Cultural Heritage in early 1972. Then he went to Changsha, Hunan Province to participate in horse racing with archaeological expert Professor Chen Jianxin. The excavation work of Wangdui Han Tomb lasted four full years."
"Huh? Is Han Chunming so lucky?" Yang Huajian couldn't help but feel envious.
"Huajian, do you really think that your old classmate is just lucky?" Father Yang suddenly looked at his son Yang Huajian meaningfully.
"Well……"
"Hua Jian, you have to remember that luck is also a part of strength." Looking at his still ignorant son, Yang's father couldn't help but start educating him, "Sometimes when a person is lucky enough, it is no longer his. Fortunately, he already has the ability."
"Dad, are you saying that Han Chunming does it intentionally every time?"
"Hua Jian, only Han Chunming may know the specific situation, but I think this person is definitely not simple."
"Dad, I know what you mean." Yang Huajian soon understood the meaning of his father's words today, "I will definitely have a good relationship with Han Chunming, and he is such a good person."
"Well, as long as you understand." Seeing that Yang Huajian finally understood, Yang's father showed a relieved expression, "I can't follow you forever. You still need to have your own connections. Talents like Han Chunming There’s no harm in reaching out.”
…
Zhou Ming's sudden brilliance made Han Chunsong and the others very proud. Colleagues in the unit kept coming to congratulate them, and the four Han Chunsong brothers couldn't help but feel proud.
After receiving the news, the four Han Chunsong brothers and sisters did not need Mother Han's summons at all. They all consciously bought a lot of things and came to the courtyard, and then the family happily sat down to eat.
"Ouch! Have you all eaten?" At this time, a surprised voice came.
The Han family looked up and looked outside with confusion, and then Zhou Ming quickly stood up in surprise, "Aunt Liu, why are you here today?"
"Haha, I don't go to the Three Treasures Palace for anything. This time I specially come to invite you, a famous person."
"Ah? Aunt Liu, sit down and speak slowly." Zhou Ming looked at Director Liu of the Street Office in surprise.
"I won't sit down anymore. Our street heard about your deeds and came here to ask you to give a speech to our street." Director Liu waved his hand with a smile, and then explained to Zhou Ming.
"Aunt Liu, my job is in archeology, and I'm not suitable for public speaking at all." Zhou Ming knew Director Liu's purpose, and then explained with a wry smile, and took Director Liu's arm affectionately and explained in a low voice, " Moreover, I was recently transferred to the Exchange and Cooperation Department by the Cultural Relics Bureau, which is a foreign-related department, and I must learn English as soon as possible.
Aunt Liu, you also know that I didn’t learn anything at all in the History Department of Peking University. If it hadn’t been for Professor Chen Jianxin’s guidance, I might not have known which ravine I was assigned to!
Therefore, I must work hard to learn foreign languages now. "
"Ah? So that's it!" After hearing Zhou Ming's heartfelt explanation, Director Liu certainly knew the level of workers, peasants, and soldiers college students, and then nodded in agreement, "Chunming, what you said does make sense. It seems that I thought it was too simple."
"Aunt Liu, in fact, I am not much different from your biological child. You have watched me come here step by step." Looking at his first benefactor, Zhou Ming still respected him very much in his heart, "Now you let me My child, giving speeches and reports to elders like you, isn’t that just to embarrass me?”
"Well, Chunming, what you said makes sense." Although he was rejected by Zhou Ming, Director Liu felt relaxed and relaxed. "From now on, work well in the Cultural Relics Bureau and earn face for your aunt and me."
"Auntie, don't worry! I won't let you down."
