It was already past 12 noon when Li Mo woke up. He checked his cell phone and found no missed calls. After freshening up, he walked into the guest dining room. There were two meat dishes, one vegetable dish and one soup set on the dining table, as well as a note from his father Li Zhongsheng, asking him to just put it on the table after he finished eating, and tidy it up when he came back from get off work.
After filling a bowl of rice, he received a call from the old squad leader Chu Li before he finished eating. After he answered the call, he heard her say: "Li Mo, Qiao Bin and I are going to the hospital first. When are you going?"
"I'm getting ready to eat. I'll go there after I finish eating. The hospital where Teacher An is located is relatively close to me. We will meet at the hospital."
"Okay, see you later."
Li Mo put down his phone, shook his head and smiled. That Qiao Bin had been secretly in love with Chu Li back then, and now that he was in college, he probably still had illusions about her.
He quickly finished his meal and drove to Pudong People's First Hospital, which took about twenty minutes. After parking the car, he took out his mobile phone and called Chu Li and asked her which ward Teacher An was in.
After a while, Li Mo walked into the ward. It was a double room, and more than a dozen of his high school classmates had already arrived. Many old classmates have changed in one year, especially the girls. From being young and shy in the past, they have become confident and generous, and their dressing is no longer so formal and old-fashioned.
The same is true for male students. After entering college, many of them become wild horses and become independent.
"Li Mo is here."
Chu Li had sharp eyes. She waved to Li Mo in the crowd and showed a sweet smile. The other students all turned to look at him. They were still very impressed with Li Mo. After all, he was the first student to be admitted to Beijing University under special circumstances.
Although he was a little transparent before, he later became a famous figure in the school.
"Long time no see, classmates. It's been a good time."
Li Mo has always dressed casually, and doesn't care about the brand as long as it's comfortable, so he seems relatively rustic among this group of old classmates.
"Li Mo, Teacher An just asked Xiao Li about your life at Beijing University. Teacher An has been caring about you, but you were the last one to arrive."
It was Qiao Bin who was speaking. In terms of appearance, he was one of the handsome guys in the class. Many girls had expressed their affection for him. I heard that he was admitted to a certain local university.
Regarding his slightly accusatory words, Li Mo just laughed, squeezed in and looked at Teacher An lying on the bed and said, "I'm sorry, Teacher An, I accidentally overslept."
"The teacher will be very happy if you come to visit him."
"Teacher An, how is your leg recovering from the surgery?"
"The leg can be saved, but it will require long-term rest and rehabilitation training in the later stages."
"Think of it as a long vacation while you recuperate. If you need any help, just tell us."
There is nothing wrong with what Li Mo said. If Teacher An really has something difficult to solve, he has many ways to help.
But Qiao Bin's face changed slightly as he stood aside. Why did this kid steal his limelight and said what he wanted to say as soon as he arrived. In his impression, apart from being specially recruited by the Department of Archeology of Peking University, there seemed to be nothing special about Li Mo.
"Teacher An, what Li Mo said is right. I go to university in Shanghai. If you need help, you can contact me at any time. By the way, I started a business with my classmates in the first half of the year. The company is near the hospital, and it is most accessible by car. It’s only ten minutes away.”
"Thank you Qiao Bin, thank you all classmates. There is nothing serious about the teacher. He will be going home to recuperate in two days."
"Will you be discharged from the hospital so soon? Teacher An, in this case, I will drive over to pick you up the day after tomorrow. My car has a lot of space and is comfortable to sit in."
When Qiao Bin said this, other classmates looked envious. They hadn't seen him for a year. Qiao Bin ran a company and bought a car. It seemed that he was doing the best among his classmates.
Only Chu Li frowned slightly. This person must be too good at pretending. Even a giant Buddha standing next to you can't show off like you.
"Don't be so troublesome. My wife can just ask for leave then. It's summer vacation, so you classmates can get together when you have time."
Teacher An was very touched and it was not in vain that she took them for three years.
"Teacher An, are these your classmates?"
At this time, a loud voice came from the door, and a man in his forties wearing glasses walked into the ward. He was carrying a meal box in one hand and a bag of clean clothes in the other.
"This is my lover, you can just call him Comrade Lao Jiang."
Teacher An quickly introduced the man.
"I still like my classmates to call me Brother Jiang, Uncle Jiang or even Comrade Lao Jiang. Now I am called more than ten years older." Teacher An's lover is quite interesting and looks very gentle.
"Don't be surprised, my wife works in the Shanghai Museum. He may have been dealing with antiques that are hundreds or thousands of years old, so he has always said that he hopes to become younger in mentality."
"I think it's nice to call him Brother Jiang. It won't make you angry." Qiao Bin was very good at picking things up. "Brother Jiang, this is a wish of me and my classmates to give Teacher An a little more nutrition."
Jiang Shuren looked at several large boxes of nutritional supplements placed next to the bed, and said with some embarrassment: "We haven't made any money yet, it's too expensive. I'll give it to everyone how much these are."
"Brother Jiang, these are really not worth much, and they are just a little thought from everyone."
"Then thank you all students so much. When Teacher An's leg recovers, we will host a party for the students. We won't miss anyone by then."
Qiao Bin had been taking the initiative, and Li Mo didn't say anything. He was quite interested in Teacher An's lover. As the saying goes, one's speech quality is one's character. Through a person's conversation, you can see the general character of that person.
Moreover, Teacher An's lover actually works in the Magic City Museum, so he is considered an insider. After all, the Xiang Yu Treasure Museum is one of the branches of the Magic City Museum.
After chatting for about half an hour, Qiao Bin suggested that everyone leave first and let Teacher An have a good rest.
"Old Jiang, send your classmates off."
"Okay, I'll come back later to feed you."
After walking outside the hospital, Qiao Bin looked at Li Mo and said, "Li Mo, how did you get here?"
"I live not far away. It's very convenient to take the subway or take a taxi."
"Okay, let's find time to meet again later." Qiao Bin was a little arrogant, "Xiao Li, I'll see you off."
Chu Li rolled his eyes and said, "You'd better call me by my name. Call me Xiao Li. It sounds a little awkward to me. I want to go shopping in the afternoon, and there is an old street nearby. I'll go there later."
"Speaking of shopping, I haven't been out for a long time. How about I go with you?"
"Forget it, I've already made an appointment with someone, and you don't know each other. It would be awkward to go there."
Chu Li was clearly rejecting him, because his classmates were all there, and Qiao Bin was too embarrassed to be shameless, so he said hello to everyone and took the first step.
After everyone left, Chu Li asked with a smile: "Classmate Li Mo, what are you planning to do next?"
"I brought some supplements to Teacher An. I came out in a hurry. The things are still in the car. I will go home after I deliver them. You and your friends have made an appointment to go shopping and go there first. We will contact you later if anything happens."
"You are the one I plan to date." Chu Li revealed a hint of slyness and said playfully, "You said we didn't talk much in the three years of high school, but in my first year at Beijing University, I bumped into you two or three times at most. , if we tell those students, they will definitely think we are telling stories."
"Invite me?" Li Mo smiled and said, "I'm very honored to be invited by the beautiful lady. Unfortunately, it won't work this time. I have to rush back to Kyoto in the afternoon. You have heard a little bit about me at Kyoto University. , the Yunshan Neolithic Cultural Heritage Museum is about to open over there, if you hadn’t contacted me yesterday, I would have planned to set up an exhibition there.”
"It's true or false, don't make excuses."
"You will know if you look carefully at my eyes. If I have time, I would love to go shopping with a beautiful woman. I would also make other men jealous of me when they see me."
Chu Li suddenly covered his mouth and laughed: "I know you're busy, so I just teased you. Mainly because Qiao Bin is a bit annoying, so I'll leave first. We'll contact you if anything happens."
After the beautiful lady Chu left, Li Mo returned to the underground garage, took down everything in the car, and then returned to the ward.
Jiang Shuren was feeding Teacher An. He brought the food after get off work at noon, so it was a little late.
"Teacher An, Brother Jiang."
"Li Mo, you haven't left yet? Oops, why did you come here to buy something? What a waste of money." Teacher An quickly pointed to another empty stool next to the bed, "Sit over here."
"I was in a hurry before, so I got off the car and ran up. Teacher An, I asked an old Chinese medicine doctor that you can use less of these supplements when making soup at home. They are very good for replenishing qi, blood and strengthening immunity."
"Thank you, teacher."
Teacher An's eyes were a little moist, and he felt ashamed that he didn't take much care of him during the three years of high school.
Jiang Shuren put down the bowl and chopsticks at this time, picked up one of the gift boxes, looked at it carefully and said solemnly: "Classmate Li Mo, we are very happy and touched that you can come to see Teacher An, but this gift is too expensive. , we can’t afford it. If I’m not mistaken, this is an old wild ginseng, which is expensive.”
Then he looked at the other three gift boxes, all of which were very expensive and hard-to-find tonics.
"Lao Jiang, is this expensive?"
Jiang Shuren nodded. This classmate was dressed in ordinary clothes, and he didn't look like he came from a wealthy family. These four tonics cost less than 100,000 yuan. They felt uneasy receiving such a big gift.
"Brother Jiang, this is not for others to eat. It was specially bought for Teacher An. Even if you don't accept it, I can't return it if I take it back, and no one in our family will eat it. That is a real waste.
Sit down first. I just have something to ask you. "
Jiang Shuren's expression softened slightly, and he picked up the bowl and chopsticks again to feed Teacher An.
"Classmate Li Mo, what do you want to ask?"
"I heard from Teacher An that you work at the Magic City Museum. I don't know what you do specifically?"
"I mainly lead a small team to do the maintenance and repair of antiques, focusing on calligraphy, painting and porcelain. Doesn't this kind of work sound a bit boring, doing repetitive things every day?"
"No, I think it's very meaningful. This kind of work is irreplaceable by others."
"Old Jiang, why have you forgotten? I told you about Li Mo before. He is the student who was specially recruited by Beijing University last year."
"What, he is that Li Mo?"
Jiang Shuren was stunned for a moment, then looked at Li Mo in disbelief and asked: "That student of Professor Zhu Changping, an archaeological expert at Peking University? The one who found Xiang Yu's treasure, the one who found the Yunshan Neolithic Cultural Site?"
Li Mo smiled and said: "I discovered the clues accidentally and then everyone worked together to achieve the results. How can I be so capable on my own? Brother Jiang, don't listen to other people's exaggerations."
"No, no, no, it's not an exaggeration. When I see you in person, I feel that the news I heard is not enough to describe your true abilities. I never expected that such a powerful person like you would be among Teacher An's students."
Jiang Shuren's shock was reflected on his face. He used to do maintenance work in the museum, so he was basically not involved in other circles and rarely participated in management instructions. He just did his job conscientiously every day.
But it was even difficult for him to know about such big news in the archaeological world.
But he didn't expect that the man of God who wanted to break out of the earth was actually the young man sitting in front of him.
"Old Jiang, what are you talking about?"
Teacher An didn't know much about these things. Although she also knew about things like Xiang Yu's treasure reported online and on TV, she had never connected them with her students.
Jiang Shuren had no choice but to tell Li Mo's other identity, and Teacher An naturally looked shocked.
"Brother Jiang, what do you think about the management of the museum?"
Jiang Shuren felt that Li Mo's question was obviously not asked casually, and might have other purposes. He did not answer immediately, but thought for a moment before saying: "I have very little involvement in the management of the museum. My job is relatively simple, just internal management of the team."
"Lao Jiang, why did you say that? If I hadn't been injured this time, you would still have had a chance to compete for the position of deputy director. Li Mo, you don't know that Lao Jiang has been preparing some time ago, and then I came out After the car accident, he gave up directly to take care of me. At that time, some of their colleagues came to the hospital and persuaded him to give it another try."
"Actually, it's not a bad thing that I can't be the deputy director. I can just do what I love. Come on, eat some more."
Li Mo didn't speak anymore, but waited for Teacher An to finish eating before taking the initiative to hand over a bottle of mineral water to Brother Jiang.
"Brother Jiang, are you interested in working in Kyoto?"
"Going to Kyoto?"
Jiang Shugang was a little puzzled.
"You also saw the news a few days ago. Several museums in our country and Europe will conduct a large-scale exchange of national treasures and cultural relics. In fact, the cultural relics returned belong to me. I am planning to build a branch of the Old Summer Palace. Museum, I am currently looking for a deputy director." "If Brother Jiang is interested, I will apply to my superiors at that time, transfer your relationship to Kyoto, and list it in the establishment of the Xiang Yu Treasure Museum, and then He was seconded to my Yuanmingyuan branch to help me handle the daily work of the new library."
"After you make some achievements, I will promote you to curator. Don't worry about these staffing issues. I will take care of them all."
Jiang Shuren's eyes suddenly lit up. He and all his colleagues had watched the live broadcast of the news a few days ago. At that time, many people were still discussing whether they would build a new museum after so many top national treasures returned, and how they would choose the person in charge. topic of.
Then he looked at Teacher An and shook his head and said, "Teacher An is like this, I won't worry if I leave."
Li Mo naturally understood his concerns, thought about it and said: "This matter is not that urgent. I will contact you when the plan to build the Old Summer Palace branch is finalized. It will not be until the end of the year at the earliest, and Teacher An has more than half a year. The rest will be better."
After chatting with Teacher An for a few more words, Li Mo stood up and left.
After he left, Teacher An was silent for a long time before saying: "This opportunity is too rare, you should agree immediately."
"I know my own abilities. If you can't afford some things, don't make promises easily. Do you know what the Old Summer Palace branch that Li Mo is planning to build means?"
"What is it?"
Jiang Shuren said in a solemn tone: "Although the number of national treasures returned this time is not as good as those stored in the three major museums, their top value is comparable to that of the three major museums, and a large part of it was lost from the Old Summer Palace. To Once preparations begin for the Yuanmingyuan branch, I don’t know how many people will be watching.”
