Chapter 22 The First Arrival in Macao
Although it may be that this Yenching University diploma is not important to Zhang Han, he still wants to get it well; I had already been in the teacher's eyes because of my absence from class, so I had to go to Dean Bi Hua to ask for a week's leave, and it was estimated that I would not be able to eat and walk around; If you don't ask for leave, you will run away, and when the time comes, the teachers of each subject will definitely make you look good, how to ask for this leave, Zhang Han, who was thinking about it, suddenly thought of Professor Zhang.
Professor Zhang Hongpei, who was in class, saw that his phone screen was lit up, and the caller ID was Zhang Han, if it was someone else, Professor Zhang's attitude would definitely not answer, but Zhang Han...
"Hey, hello Professor Zhang, I'm Zhang Han, I have something to trouble you."
"There must be something wrong with each other, otherwise how can you kid take the initiative to call me?"
Hearing Professor Zhang say this, Zhang Han smiled awkwardly and said, "It's been really busy recently, so I don't have time to visit you, and I'll definitely talk to you when I'm done; I'm calling you because I need to take a leave of absence for some time, but I didn't have a good impression on the teacher because of some things, so..."
"What are you doing here?"
"A little personal matter needs to be done."
Seeing that Zhang Han didn't want to say more, Zhang Hongpei didn't ask any more, thought about it and said, "It's no problem to ask for leave, I will say hello to you Dean Bi when the time comes." Speaking of this, Zhang Hongpei then said: "Some time ago, a batch of cultural relics came to the Forbidden City, which were recovered from the crackdown on the sale of cultural relics, and many of its Chinese objects were damaged to a certain extent..."
Hearing Zhang Hongpei say this, Zhang Han still didn't understand what it meant? Although his face was dark, Zhang Han still said immediately: "When I come back after finishing my work, I will go to you to report, and I will do my best to do whatever I can at that time." ”
Although there are some cunning elements in what Zhang Han said, Zhang Hongpei is too lazy to bother with him, no matter what, as long as Zhang Han can come, he believes it will be a big help; And then again... Thinking like this, Zhang Hongpei didn't say anything more, because he still had to go to class, and after asking Zhang Han about the time of leave, he hung up the phone and returned to the classroom.
After class in the afternoon, Zhang Han received a notice from the class assistant that the dean was invited.
When Zhang Han came to Bi Hua's office, he found that he was practicing calligraphy, and he didn't bother in a hurry, so he stood quietly by the side and watched.
"How am I writing this?" After putting away the pen, Bi Hua, who straightened up, asked.
The structure of the "Orchid Pavilion Preface" can be said to be extremely changeable, especially if the words in the text are repeated, then the transconstructs are different, none of them are the same, the most prominent of which is the twenty "zhi" characters, the writing is different, or smooth and relaxed, or the Tibetan front convergence, or the end is as neat as Kai, or fluent as grass, the changes are different, and the state is extremely beautiful. Tang Taizong praised it for its 'work of dragging and cutting'; I look at your line of writing, you should have copied the "Orchid Pavilion Preface" for many years, and the performance of 'spirit, qi, bone, flesh, and blood' can be said to be incisive and incisive. ”
Hearing Zhang Han's eloquent evaluation, Bi Hua nodded and said, "If you say something good, you can blow it for me; But it seems that you also have a study of calligraphy, so I'll take a look at some of the strokes. ”
Zhang Han did not shirk, and after standing in the position where Bi Hua had been, after thinking about what he wanted to write, he began to write; Zhang Han also writes in cursive, and the words "freedom of thought, inclusiveness" are written in one go.
The so-called connoisseur knows if there is one as soon as he makes a move, Bi Hua saw the words written by Zhang Han and kept saying: "Good, good..."
After looking at it carefully for a long time, Bi Hua continued: "It is said that calligraphy is a matter of talent, and it is also a manifestation in you; How many years can you practice at your age, but this writing is already everyone's style, and you can write such a cursive script as you, and you can't find a few in the whole Yanjing, which is very good, no wonder Zhang Hongpei praised you for your outstanding ability in traditional Chinese culture. ”
Obviously, Bi Hua misunderstood Zhang Hongpei's meaning, but it was also crooked, allowing him to see another embodiment of Zhang Han's cultural heritage.
"Although Zhang Hongpei is also doing my work on the phone and wants you to go to his archaeology department to develop, I also teach you that I am also optimistic about your potential in finance, so it is still up to you to choose."
"Dean, I'm still very interested in finance." Although Zhang Han originally had this idea, he didn't think about going to the Department of Archaeology, but at this time, he expressed his attitude, and I believe Dean Bi would definitely be very happy.
Sure enough, Bi Hua listened to Zhang Han's words and said with a smile: "An excellent talent like you, I think no matter what aspect of development will be very promising, but at the same time, you can't stop working hard just because you are smart, talent alone is not the reason for success." ”
"I understand the dean, and I have never let myself up."
"Well, it's good to know, I approved your leave this time, I want to see you should have something important, otherwise you won't go to Professor Zhang to help you intercede, I will notify some of your teachers; But go early and come back early, at this stage, you still need to study more, and you can't put down your homework..."
Coming out of Bi Hua's office, Zhang Han was also relieved, this leave was not easy, and he owed Professor Zhang a favor, if he wanted to go to the Palace Museum to help when the time came, he would never let himself be relaxed at that time. But everything was like this, and Zhang Han didn't think much about it.
Zhang Han booked a plane ticket on the 23rd, and there were still two days before departure, during which Zhang Han spent most of his time going to and from class on time, and he cared about the development of the company in his spare time.
Before leaving, Zhang Han told a few people in the dormitory that he was going to Hong Kong, and asked if there was anything he needed to help bring, except that Wu Yue was more active, Han Linghe and Pan Hu didn't say anything, just said that he would come back to pick him up.
Of course, Zhang Han also told Tang Yajing that he was going to Hong Kong and asked her what gifts she wanted; Zhang Hanneng's thought that he had already made Tang Yajing very happy, and he didn't say much except to tell Zhang Han to pay attention to safety.
Before leaving, Zhang Han did not inform Dave that he would go to Hong Kong early, because he still wanted to go to Macau to have a look. He just asked Sun Xin to send himself to the airport and hit the road on his own. After a four-hour flight, the plane arrived at Shenzhen Airport and then transferred to Shekou Terminal; Because Hu Ke had gone through the relevant procedures before, Zhang Han, who held a Hong Kong and Macao permit, passed the inspection very smoothly.
After more than an hour of bumpy rides, Zhang Han set foot in Macau. He didn't rush to walk around, but first arrived at the hotel that Hu Ke had booked for him in advance.
The Grand Lisboa Hotel is a dazzling masterpiece of craftsmanship with its unique design and ultimate luxury. Zhang Han went to his room after registering and receiving the room card from the front desk; Hu Ke booked a suite for him, to be honest, Zhang Han had never lived in such a luxurious room since he was a child. Zhang Han was also a little tired from running all the way, so he first took a shower and rested, and shouted for food from the front desk; Zhang Han is still very satisfied with the meals provided by the hotel, you must know that the meals provided on the plane are really not complimentary, and after eating and resting, it is already dark, but for Macau, this is the beginning of the day.
The particularity of Macao's history makes it obvious that it is influenced by European civilization, which also makes Macao a city with a unique style of integration and coexistence of Eastern and Western cultures, and it is also the city with the highest per capita GDP in China. Over the past decade, Macau, the only place in China where gambling is legal, has become a gambling mecca with an influx of mainland gamblers, with a large number of mainland gamblers, and its gaming revenue has been seven times higher than that of Las Vegas.
Since he came here, Zhang Han will naturally feel the characteristics of Macau, and the Grand Lisboa Hotel itself is owned by Sociedade de Jogos de Macau, S.A., so it is easy for Zhang Han to find the casino, and there is a direct elevator when he leaves the guest room.
As soon as he stepped out of the elevator, Zhang Han felt the warm atmosphere of the casino; Although Zhang Han was dressed very ordinarily, his temperament quickly attracted the attention of the service staff, and a beautiful waitress quickly walked to his side.
"Hello, sir, is there anything I can do for you?"
"I think I need to exchange some chips right now."
"Please follow me."
So Zhang Han followed the beautiful waitress to the place where the chips were exchanged. Zhang Han is not easy to gamble, and he didn't think that he could make money in the exam, so he just came to play and feel the characteristics, and he casually changed 30,000 chips Zhang Han walked into the casino; Although Zhang Han did not have many chips to replace, his intuition told this waiter that it should be a good choice for him to follow the handsome guy in front of him, you must know that many sons and daughters from the mainland are very low-key, and it is often these people who are generous and can get a lot of tips. So when Zhang Han walked into the casino, she also followed quickly; Zhang Han didn't care, because when he came to this kind of place for the first time, he thought that this kind of one-to-one service was normal, and he was not familiar with the environment, so it was good to have a familiar person with him.
