Live appraising treasures, I became a national treasure expert?

The ice and snow melted, the Yudai River began to flow, and green watercress floated in the water. In the sunny places, horsetails pierced the soil like spears, revealing their brown tips.

Wild ducks came in pairs, white wagtails fluttered their wings and landed, calling twice toward the east. Then, the sun jumped out of the horizon, the river was shimmering, and the whole city came alive.

It's spring again.

The car drove out of the river embankment, Li Dingan withdrew his gaze, and soon, it drove steadily into the courtyard of the National Museum.

After the car stopped, I looked at my watch. It was almost eight o'clock.

Does Master Zhang have obsessive-compulsive disorder?
After glancing at the driver, Li Dingan got out of the car, turned around, and was stunned again.

There were a lot of people standing at the bottom of the stairs: He Anbang, Ma Xianming, Yao Chuan, Cheng Yongquan, Fang Zhijie, Shu Jinghao... seven or eight men and women.

He let out a long breath and walked slowly, "Such a big event?"

"What else? You are such a big future leader coming to inspect, shouldn't you warm up the cold stove in advance?"

"You arranged this for me, and I'm your future leader?"

"If you're not a leader, who would dare to take a Beijing D bus with four circles?"

He Anbang was joking, but his words were full of sadness.

Knowing that he was unhappy, Li Dingan was too lazy to argue with him: It's just a temporary position, do you have the ability to sit here for the rest of your life?

Of course, even if he had the opportunity to sit in prison for the rest of his life, Li Dingan still had to think about it: with someone like him, he might be caught and removed from office one day.

So, it is better for people to have some self-awareness...

Li Dingan was doing two things at once, with strange thoughts running through his mind. He shook hands with Lao Ma, Lao Yao and others. Then he made a direct arrangement: "Assistant Jin, this is Xiao Shu. She will take you to the file and handle the formalities...

This is Researcher Cheng, who has been on TV. You should know him. He is now also the Party Branch Secretary... You can find him if you want to transfer your organizational relationship... Assistant Song, this is Xiao Fang, my former data clerk. He will take you to my office. I have told you everything you need to move..."

After he finished explaining, a group of people accompanied him up the stairs. He Anbang started to get angry again: "Are you in such a hurry to leave?"

Li Dingan did not answer but asked: "If I hadn't come today, would you not process the procedures for me?"

He Anbang choked: What nonsense?

The letter came directly from above, and it was a foregone conclusion that Li Dingan would be transferred. Not to mention him, even the director couldn't stop it.

So, why does Li Dingan need to come in person?
The supervisory committee can just send a staff member from the organization department and it will be done clearly in half a day at most.

Lao He just didn't want to accept it.

"Besides, it's not like I've left the country and will never come back."

Li Dingan nudged He Anbang with his elbow and said, "I am the director of the Baoli Research Institute, and Lao Ma is the deputy director, right? Most of the project team members under me are from the National Museum, which is like stirring the same pot. Why are you so jealous?"

"You are changing the subject! If it's really like what you said, then what's the relationship?" He Anbang was unmoved, "Like we agreed before, can't I be seconded?"

Of course not.

Because the Research and Protection Institute and the Imitation Porcelain Factory are just a cover. Li Dingan's focus in the future will only be on the special porcelain research and development center that Lingyun Group will establish.

Without mentioning anything else, from the perspective of confidentiality, it is impossible to let Li Dingan stay in the National Museum.

"I didn't want to transfer, but that's how the leader arranged it."

"Who, Secretary Yu?"

Li Ding'an shook his head: "I don't know!"

You don’t know a thing, don’t you know?

He Anbang sighed sadly and accompanied him into the building. As soon as they stepped into the hall, Liu Lu came to meet them again.

"Teacher Li, the curator wants you to come to the office."

"Okay, I'll be there now!" Li Ding'an paused for a moment, then smiled at He Anbang, "Let's talk later."

He Anbang and Ma Xianming were both a little stunned: before, the director was called Li Dingan, and Liu Lu would at most say "the director is waiting for him", but today, he said "the director invites him"?
There is only one word difference, but the underlying meaning is as different as heaven and earth.

Just as he was in a daze, Li Dingan told Wang Chengming again: "Old Wang, Xiao Liu, you wait downstairs for a while."

"Ok!"

Then, several people watched Li Dingan enter the elevator.

Liu Lu called out again: "Wang Ke, Liu Ke, shall I take you to the lounge?"

Wang Chengming shook his head: "No, where are the stairs?"

"This way, please follow me!"

The two followed Liu Lu up the stairs, and He Anbang and Ma Xianming looked at each other.

Yao Chuan was a little slower to react, staring at the backs of the two men: "Why do these two... look like bodyguards?"

Even if these two go up, they will not enter the director's office and can only sit outside, which means they will never leave Li Dingan's side... In this way, aren't they bodyguards?

Suddenly, He Anbang and Ma Xianming thought of Wang Chenggong and Sun Huaiyu in the past, and compared them with the present. What was the difference?
They were almost inseparable, following Li Dingan everywhere, whether it was eating or going to the toilet...

Ma Xianming seemed to be thinking about something. He looked through the glass at the car in the parking lot and said, "It's a Beijing D license plate. Is Li Dingan helping the public security department with another case?"

“Doesn’t feel like it?”

"What's going on?"

"I don't know... but whether it's to get the information, hand over, or handle the formalities today, the people who come every time are Assistant Jin and Assistant Song. These two must be the assistants assigned to him by the Supervision Committee... So, they should have nothing to do with the case."

This shows that Li Dingan must have been helping the Supervision Commission during the period between the New Year and the New Year. The question is, why was he always riding in the police department's car?

As well as the behavior of the two people just now, one can't help but imagine a lot.

Just as he was wondering, there was a beep, the elevator door opened, and Liu Lu came out.

"Xiao Liu, why did you come down?"

"The curator wants to talk to Teacher Li. It has nothing to do with me."

Shouldn't it?

As a secretary, you must always stay by your leader's side. Even if you are out of sight, at least you must be where the leader can hear you if he calls out.

He Anbang understood immediately: The curator should have something to say...

"Let's go to the office!"

Liu Lu nodded and followed He Anbang, pretending to chat: "He Guan, Ma Suo, did you see those two just now?"

"I see!" "They are all colleagues of Director Zhang, affiliated with the Eighth Bureau, and used to serve the leader..."

What's wrong?
Ma Xianming thought to himself: Aren’t you, Secretary Liu, also serving the leader?

Even worse, whether it was Fang Zhijie and Shu Jing before, or Assistant Jin and Assistant Song now, they can also be said to be serving their leaders.

Although Li Dingan still has no position or rank...

But then, he almost slapped himself on the forehead: Are you crazy? Why do you only listen to the second half of the sentence and not the first?
Zhang Hanguang’s colleague, the Eighth Bureau… Can this be service in the general sense? Can the person being served be an ordinary leader?
For a moment, Lao Ma’s eyes almost fell to the ground, and He Anbang also had a look of horror on his face.

What did you say at the door just now: You are a future leader, shouldn’t you warm up some cold stoves in advance?

It was originally a joke, but in the blink of an eye, it seemed to be coming true?
But absolutely impossible!

The two people looked at each other and felt that it was extremely strange: a level five research and development institute was only a department-level unit at best, and the person in charge was only a level five employee, only receiving department-level treatment.

Not to mention it's just a corresponding position, even if it's a real position, even if you're promoted three levels, you will definitely not get this treatment.

If we ignore the curator, when has there ever been such a situation?
The more he thought about it, the stranger it seemed. However, He Anbang could guess that the director asked Liu Lu to come because of this matter.

Otherwise, Liu Lu would not have brought up such sensitive topics as "Eighth Bureau" and "Serving the Leaders" for no reason.

He Anbang patiently invited Liu Lu into the office, asked Ma Xianming to make tea personally, and then found an excuse to send Yao Chuan away.

After Yao Chuan left, Liu Lu didn't waste any words and went straight to the point: "He Guan, you didn't have an argument with Teacher Li, did you?"

He Anbang said, "Secretary Liu, what can I use to argue?"

Liu Lu was speechless.

Let’s count how many projects Li Ding’an has secured for the National Museum since he came.

I won’t mention the small ones, but only the big ones: Mongolian porcelain, Qinglong Mountain, Hunshan Ancient City... Especially the last two, they applied for three national-level projects alone, including the copper pillar in Qinglong Mountain.

There are as many as eight ministerial-level projects.

If we compare it with the past: Li Dingan alone completed the National Museum's four to five-year research task plan.

Looking at it from the other side, Li Dingan was about to leave, but the National Museum didn’t even help him solve the staffing problem?

Of course, it’s not that Lao He didn’t want to solve the problem, but there were too many external constraints, and many people didn’t want the National Museum to help Li Ding’an solve it. But it’s an indisputable fact that the National Museum didn’t actually give Li Ding’an anything.

So don’t say there is nothing to fight for. Even if there is, Lao He doesn’t have the face to fight for it.

He Anbang sighed: "At most I just want to ask!"

I want to ask why it changed so quickly, what went wrong: before it was at most a secondment, but after a few years, it was suddenly a direct transfer?

The level of the unit that sent the letter is so high: the General Office of the Regulatory Commission?

And it was signed by the director himself... Is he an ordinary director? How can you tell how much he values ​​it?
But on the other hand, doesn’t the National Museum take it seriously?

He Anbang will never forget the scene when several leaders went to the hospital as a group on the day Li Dingan returned from Mongolia.

At that time, the Supervisory Committee only had Secretary Yu, and he went there from a personal perspective...

Or am I not good enough to him?

He gets whatever he wants and does whatever he is told. If Li Dingan says east, when did Lao He ever say west?
After all, he is a fourth-level manager, just like an old lady...

Therefore, Lao He would like to give some advice: As for the regulatory committee, there are officials everywhere, and who is not used to giving orders and making comments?
Which other leader is like me, who will cooperate with you 100%? Even Secretary Yu can't do that.

So, can you adapt if you go there?

Before she could say anything, Li Anan was called away by the curator...

He thought for a moment and said, "Secretary Liu, is the curator worried that Li Dingan and I will quarrel?"

Liu Lu curled his lips: Why would the director care about this?
Lao He's son calls Li Dingan godfather. Given their relationship, it's okay for them to even quarrel or fight.

It’s not like we haven’t fought before, for example, with Zhang Hanguang… the more we fight, the better the relationship becomes!
So, on the contrary...

Liu Lu cleared his throat: "Well, that... I'm afraid Director He will be embarrassed!"

I can't wipe my face off, what face do I have?

No, maybe the curator is afraid that I can’t save myself?
He Anbang chewed on it carefully: Why does it sound like "the director is eager for me and Li Dingan to compete, or even better, have a fight"?
Not quite sure, He Anbang tried to probe: "Does the curator also want Li Dingan to stay?"

Nonsense, who wouldn't want that?

The problem is that I can't stay...

"Don't think about it!" Liu Lu didn't beat around the bush. "He Guan should know why the Supervisory Committee transferred Teacher Li away!"

He Anbang certainly knew that in addition to the reasons written on the documents such as Baoli’s Research Institute and Imitation Porcelain Factory, there were also reasons that were not written on the documents: such as Guang porcelain.

But he had not expected that the level would be so high: Liu Lu called that Section Chief Wang... the Section Chief of the Eighth Bureau, who followed Li Dingan closely, what did this mean?
My heart trembles just thinking about it.

So to be honest, if Li Dingan comes back later, He Anbang really doesn't dare to persuade him.

But this is a scientific research project, it has nothing to do with the National Museum, right?

"Who said there is no connection?" Liu Lu glanced at Ma Xianming and emphasized, "Let me make it clear first, don't tell you what I said: I guess that Teacher Li must have a lot of cultural relics projects. I dare not say they are at the national level, but they are at the ministerial level or above, and they are accurate if they are reported..."

Above the ministerial level, isn’t it still national level?
But what nonsense is this: Li Dingan is not a project-making machine. Without physical objects, ruins, or even field investigations, where can he discover projects?

"It's true that we haven't discovered any ruins, and we haven't investigated them, but that doesn't mean we can't carry out excavation projects!" Liu Lu pointed to the research building opposite, "Isn't our iron cultural relics mechanism and protection technology about that?"

Can this also be related to Li Dingan?
The National Museum’s “Research on the Mechanism of Iron Cultural Relics” is not without physical objects and sites, but not too many: from the Shang Dynasty to the Republic of China, any site where iron cultural relics have been excavated can all be used as research objects.

And to date, this is the only national-level project that the National Museum has been able to apply for without inspecting the physical ruins.

But Liu Lu said, Li Dingan should have a lot of such projects in his hands?

I do not know how?
The more He Anbang listened, the more confused he became: "Secretary Liu, please explain clearly!"

This is what the curator said. In fact, Liu Lu doesn't know as much as He Anbang. How do you expect him to explain it clearly?
Liu Lu held it in for a long time and said, "I guessed it!"

Guess?

He Anbang and Ma Xianming both widened their eyes.

They were not surprised by Liu Lu's nonsense, but by the purpose of his coming here: the director must have asked him to come.

After further thought: In all likelihood, it was because there were some things that the curator could not say directly to Li Dingan, so he could only let Liu Lu hint to the two of them: Li Dingan is about to leave, why don't you hurry up and seize the last few handfuls of wool?
It’s not that I’m afraid that they will lose face. To Lao He: what is face?
It’s just because the curator knows some information that they don’t know but cannot say publicly: such as the source of the project!
Liu Lu definitely doesn’t know either, but it doesn’t matter.

Let’s catch Li Ding’an and then talk about it… (End of this chapter)
