When the three of them arrived at the entrance of the museum, the museum's curator, who had already received the news from Zhang Mingfang, led a few subordinates to welcome them at the entrance. This was the Municipal Party Committee's Secretary coming to visit in person. How could he not welcome them personally?
Before Song Chaoyang got out of the car, he saw these people and said, "Isn't Zhang Mingfang making it a little too grand?" Li Rui said, "She probably wants the museum's experts to give you a tour guide." Song Chaoyang nodded and said, "Actually, it'll be fine if we just walk around and take a look." After saying that, he sat in the car and did not move.
Li Rui saw that Zhang Mingfang had already gotten out of the car and was looking back, but his boss was still sitting in the car. He immediately understood his intentions and rushed to get out of the car to find Zhang Mingfang. He said in a low voice, "Boss thinks there are too many people. Ask them to leave." Zhang Mingfang blushed and said, "Aiya, brother, I'm not very familiar with the cultural relics in the museum. If the Secretary asks later, I won't be able to answer him. Wouldn't that be awkward? I specially called the museum's curator over and asked him to help explain. " Li Rui smiled and said in a low voice, "Boss is just here to take a walk, see something new, and relax. He's not here to study cultural relics. There's no need for an explanation. It's enough for you to walk around with him. "
In fact, Zhang Mingfang did not want outsiders to interfere and divert Song Chaoyang's attention. If she was not unfamiliar with the cultural relics in the museum, how could she bear to give this great opportunity to get close to the Municipal Party Committee's Secretary to an outsider? Hearing this, she was very happy and nodded repeatedly. "I'm relieved that you said so. Wait here, I'll ask them to leave. "As she said that, she walked over to the museum's curator.
Song Chaoyang sat in the car and watched as Zhang Mingfang walked in front of those people and said a few words. Those people quickly turned around and left. He secretly nodded before opening the car door and getting out.
Under Zhang Mingfang's guidance, Song Chaoyang was in the middle and Li Rui was behind. The three of them were divided into distinct groups and walked into the museum.
Zhang Mingfang explained in front of them, "The main structure of our city's museum is modeled after the palaces of the Ming and Qing dynasties. The main exhibition hall has four floors. The first floor is for the museum's staff, and the second, third, and fourth floors are exhibition halls. These three floors are divided into three small exhibition halls according to the different items displayed. They are the cultural relics exhibition hall, the jewelry exhibition hall … "
As she introduced the museum's curator, the museum's curator's curator. There were very few people in the museum. After a long time, no one came up or down the stairs. It looked a little lonely.
Zhang Mingfang asked, "Secretary, should we turn from the bottom to the top or from the top to the bottom?" Song Chaoyang smiled and said, "Either way is fine." Zhang Mingfang said, "Then let's turn from the top to the bottom. Hehe, I like to turn from the top to the bottom when shopping in the supermarket." Song Chaoyang smiled and said, "Okay, I'll listen to your arrangement today."
Li Rui did not want to be a third wheel. Seeing that the two of them were about to climb to the third floor, he said, "You two go ahead. I'm going to the toilet."
Song Chaoyang did not say anything and just walked forward. Zhang Mingfang turned around and smiled at him. She whispered, "The toilet is on the first floor. Turn left from the door." She then chased after him.
In fact, Li Rui was not going to the toilet. He was just looking for an excuse to leave the two of them. Seeing that the two of them had disappeared up the stairs, he looked around and walked into the cultural relics exhibition hall on the second floor.
The cultural relics exhibition hall, as the name suggested, displayed the precious cultural relics left behind by the Qingyang Dynasty, such as buildings, steles, tools, weapons, household utensils, and various works of art. Li Rui was quite interested in these things. After entering the exhibition hall, he walked along the left side of the display window and looked at them one by one.
He had to look at each of the cultural relics for a long time. If there was an explanation, he would read all of it. The purpose of doing this was to pass time. After all, he did not know how long the boss and Zhang Mingfang would be here.
He looked around and walked a few steps. Suddenly, he saw that a display window not far in front of him had been opened by the museum's staff. There was a security guard standing there with a baton in his hand. At the same time, there were two or three staff members wearing white gloves moving something that looked like a bronze cauldron. He was very curious when he saw this scene. He quickly walked over to see what was going on.
When he got closer, the focus of his eyes had already shifted from the cultural relic to one of the female staff members. The female staff member had a graceful figure and was young and beautiful. Her picturesque and picturesque face had a scholarly air to it. Although she was concentrating on her work, she still couldn't conceal the charm and bearing that she exuded.
Li Rui was pleasantly surprised when he saw her face. He cried out, "Xiao Fang?"
The female staff member was Fang Zhitong, who worked in the city's archeological team.
Fang Zhitong heard him and immediately turned her head. When she saw him, she was very surprised. After a while, she came back to her senses. She smiled reservedly and stuttered, "Director … Director Li …" Li Rui smiled and said, "Why are you here?" After asking this question, he felt that it was unnecessary. The archeological team and the museum were both units under the city's Cultural Relics Bureau. The archeological team and the museum had a lot of business dealings. It was understandable that she, an archeological team member, would be here. As expected, Fang Zhitong said, "I'm here with my colleague to return a cauldron. We borrowed it earlier." As she said this, her face turned red. It was as if she was not here to return it, but to steal it. Li Rui looked at her with a smile. Seeing that she was more charming than usual with her red face, he felt his heart itch. He asked, "Are you done with your work?"
Before she could say anything, her male colleague called out, "I'm done, I'm done. Xiao Fang, leave the rest to me. Go talk to your friend." Fang Zhitong became more and more shy. She nodded and slightly lowered her head. She raised her eyes to look at Li Rui. Seeing that he was staring at her, she hurriedly lowered her eyes.
Li Rui's heart was tickled by her bashful little girl attitude. He waved his hand, indicating for her to take two steps forward. He started walking first and asked, "How was the New Year?" Fang Zhitong followed him and made a sound of acknowledgment. Li Rui asked again, "Are uncle and auntie okay?" Fang Zhitong nodded again and then asked, "Are you okay?" Li Rui said, "I'm okay. It's just the same. But, I'm one year older after the New Year. Ai, I'm old. "Fang Zhitong smiled and said," How are you old? "
The two walked to the second floor of the exhibition hall. Li Rui said, "It's sunny outside. Let's go out for a while?" Fang Zhitong agreed.
The two went downstairs and walked to the inner courtyard of the museum. There was a unique garden courtyard. They stopped in front of a rockery and started chatting.
Li Rui apologized first, "I've been very busy recently. I didn't have time to contact you. If I had some time, I would've invited you to dinner. " Fang Zhitong bravely looked into his eyes and said, "We were also very busy before the New Year. But it's fine now." Li Rui smiled and asked, "Have you found any ancient tombs recently?" Fang Zhitong laughed and lightly shook her head. Her ponytail swayed back and forth, giving her a youthful aura. She said, "Ancient tombs can only be found by chance. It's already not bad to find one in a year." Li Rui joked, "When you excavate ancient tombs, did you find any zombies …"
The two chatted for more than half an hour. Although there weren't many topics of interest, Li Rui was always able to provoke Fang Zhitong and tease her from time to time. They didn't realize how fast time passed.
Suddenly, Fang Zhitong's phone rang. When she took it out, she seemed to be telling Li Rui, but also seemed to be talking to herself. She said, "My colleague is calling." Li Rui said, "Then hurry up and pick it up. It might be something urgent." Fang Zhitong nodded and picked up the phone.
The call ended quickly. Fang Zhitong raised her head and looked at him and said, "We're going back." Li Rui asked, "Why are you working on the weekend?" Fang Zhitong said, "Originally I wasn't going to work, but the leader called so I had to go. Anyway, it's just returning an artifact. It won't take much time. What about you? When are you leaving? "Li Rui said," I still have to wait a bit. "Fang Zhitong looked at him and said," Oh, okay. Then … then that's it for now? Let's … let's do it another day … "Li Ruixin didn't want to provoke her. After all, he already had a beautiful wife, Qingman. But looking at this outstanding person, he couldn't help but want to get closer to her. He said," I'll find you another day when I'm free. "Fang Zhitong was surprised and said," Find me? What for? "Li Rui smiled and said," Nothing, just to eat. "Fang Zhitong blushed and said," Oh, what for? "She didn't ask anything else.
The two were silent. After a while, Fang Zhitong said in a low voice, "Then I'll go first." Li Rui nodded. Fang Zhitong walked back into the museum.
Li Rui stood still and watched her tall and slender figure walk away. His heart was in a complicated and difficult struggle. On one hand, he didn't want to hurt this innocent girl, but on the other hand, he wanted to get closer to her. He was in a dilemma.
That afternoon, Song Chaoyang walked around the museum for nearly two hours before he was satisfied. After saying goodbye to Zhang Mingfang, Li Rui drove the car back to the main road. However, he didn't have the mood to go to work. He asked Li Rui to drive back to the Qingyang Hotel, which was equivalent to getting off work early.
