Last night, Tang Ding was busy until midnight, and he sent a message to Professor Zuo while lying in bed, explaining that he was done with his work and could leave at any time.

Tang Ding fell asleep after sending the message.

Early the next morning, Professor Zuo called him, saying that he had booked a ticket and asked him to get ready for the flight at 10 o'clock in the morning.

Tang Ding didn't expect Professor Zuo to be so neat, and the message he sent last night had already booked a ticket today.

Tang Ding hurriedly washed it and went straight to Professor Zuo's house.

Professor Zuo was actually ready for a long time, just waiting for Tang Ding.

When leaving, Tang Ding took a canvas bag from Professor Zuo's hand, and the two took the subway to the airport, printed the boarding pass, and waited for the flight.

"Professor Zuo, let's go to Shaanxi?" When printing the boarding pass, Tang Ding saw the destination on the boarding pass.

Professor Zuo looked at Tang Ding and smiled, "You finally asked where I was going?" I thought you wouldn't ask!"

Tang Ding was a little embarrassed, he didn't ask before not because Tang Ding didn't care where to go, but because he respected Professor Zuo, the teacher pointed to that, and Tang Ding beat that.

However, as soon as Professor Zuo said this, Tang Ding realized that he was not paying too much attention to it?

"Let's go to Baoji, a few years ago, the Shaanxi Provincial Department of Culture sent a letter to the Ministry of Culture, saying that a large tomb was found in Baoji, and asked the ministry to excavate it. If you want to excavate, ask the ministry to send someone to help. ”

Before Professor Zuo finished speaking, he heard the boarding prompt, "Let's go, let's board the plane first, and then we'll talk about it when we get to the plane." ”

After getting on the plane, Professor Zuo told Tang Ding about the specific work arrangement.

The decision on this excavation was not made by Professor Zuo. Because Professor Zuo's apprentice Zhan Qing is the leader of the ministry and happens to be in charge of the management of cultural relics, the apprentice asks the teacher to go out of the mountain, of course, because of trust, and the second is that the excavation work is an opportunity to lead the soldiers to practice, although it is hard, but it is easy to make achievements, and Professor Zuo also told Zhan Qing that he wants to take this group of graduate students under him to carry out several archaeological practices.

Professor Zuo is a doctoral supervisor, and he has brought many graduate students under him, and this time he went mainly to let these graduate students practice.

As for Tang Ding, Professor Zuo handpicked him to follow, and he went to see and understand.

Tang Ding heard that Professor Zuo had originally booked yesterday's air tickets, but because Tang Ding had something to do temporarily, Professor Zuo changed his itinerary and asked the graduate students he took to leave as usual yesterday, while Professor Zuo was waiting for him personally. Go with yourself.

Tang Ding's love from Professor Zuo made him inexplicably grateful. Of course, there is also a hint of apology in the gratitude.

The plane landed in Baoji and went out of the disembarkation channel, and there were people picking it up, it was a graduate student led by Professor Zuo, and another middle-aged man wearing glasses, who should be from the local cultural department.

Sure enough, as soon as he shook hands, the man introduced, "Professor Zuo, hello, I am Li Mingwen from the Cultural Relics Administration of the Provincial Department of Culture, and you are welcome to come to Shaanxi to guide the work." ”

Although Zuo Qingming does not serve in the government department, his Beijing University also has an administrative level, and the level is not low, it is a university directly under the Ministry of Education and belongs to the vice provincial level. Zuo Qingming is the deputy dean of the subordinate college of Beijing University, and his rank is at the level of deputy department.

Therefore, the guidance work that Li Mingwen said is not a sycophant. Because Zuo Qingming should be the guide of the work, both in terms of level and professional knowledge.

"You're welcome, you're welcome. "Zuo Qingming has typical intellectual characteristics, and he may be able to talk endlessly when he lectures with students, but for outsiders and officialdom, he is like gold, and he is not good at communication and expression.

After being polite, Zuo Qingming also introduced Tang Ding to Li Mingwen, Li Mingwen lowered his posture very low, and stretched out his hands to shake hands with Tang Ding.

Li Mingwen knew that Zuo Qingming deliberately postponed his trip for a day because of this student's trouble, so he paid more attention to Tang Ding than ordinary.

Of course, Tang Ding also has a temperament that makes Li Mingwen unpredictable. It stands to reason that he is just a student of Professor Zuo, or a student who has not left school, and his thinking should be extremely simple, but it makes Li Mingwen, who has been in officialdom for a long time, unpredictable.

Tang Ding's attitude towards Li Mingwen was not strange, but he felt strange about the attitude of a student named Qian Bin of Professor Zuo who came to pick him up.

This Qian Bin is the first time Tang Ding has seen it, and he has never crossed paths before.

But Qian Bin looked at Tang Ding's eyes, but there was a kind of undisguised jealousy.

Tang Ding said in his heart, why did buddy offend you?

"By the way, Professor Zuo, shall we go to the guest house first, or go to dinner first?" asked Li Mingwen.

"We didn't have to eat, we all ate on the plane. ”

"Alright, let's go back to the guest house first. ”

Li Mingwen let Professor Zuo into the car, and the group drove to the guest house.

The guest house arranged by the Cultural Heritage Administration and his entourage is a cultural guest house, which is the local cultural department's own guest house. The location is just around the corner from the museum.

"Open two more rooms!" Li Mingwen personally took Professor Zuo to the front desk of the guest house.

"The two of us, just open one. Professor Zuo hurriedly refused.

Li Mingwen looked at Professor Zuo, it didn't look like a politeness, but he himself couldn't help but be polite, "Open two rooms, Professor Zuo can have a good rest." ”

"Or I'll squeeze in with my brothers. Tang Ding said.

Because there are five graduate students of Professor Zuo who came before, four men and one woman, they live in exactly three rooms, the female students live in one room, and the two male students live in exactly two rooms.

"This, the room is just right, it's okay, open two rooms, and go back to the provincial department. Of course, Li Mingwen can be generous, because it is not his money that is spent.

"It's okay, just open one, I'll just have one with Tang Ding. ”

Seeing Professor Zuo's insistence, Li Mingwen had no choice but to open a room and hand over the room card to Professor Zuo, "Professor Zuo, it's hard to travel, you wash up first, let's meet here at five o'clock, I have already arranged a banquet, and our director and deputy director will also come in a while to pick you up on behalf of the Provincial Cultural Management Bureau." ”

"We don't need to eat, right? ”

"Yes, yes, in fact, I am a messenger, our director and director are already on the way, and they are probably about to arrive. Besides, we can talk about our work while eating!"

Zuo Qingming looked at the wall clock in the hall of the guest house, "Okay, I'm sorry for you." ”

Tang Ding and Professor Zuo went back to the room first, and after a while, the five graduate students brought by Professor Zuo also came over.

Tang Ding also got to know five people, Tang Ding didn't know these five people, oh, Qian Bin Tang Ding had seen it just now, and the other four people were Zhao Guanglei, Qin Tao, Liu Hailin, and Qin Yujie.

Qin Yujie is the only girl among the five graduate students.

Although Tang Ding didn't know the five people, he found that except for Qin Yujie and Liu Hailin, who were a little cold towards him, the other three all looked at him with some jealousy.

After all, Professor Zuo is not young, and after a tiring flight, Professor Zuo went to bed and slept for a while.

While Professor Zuo was resting, Tang Ding was thinking about the origin of Qian Bin and the others' hostility towards him.
