Chapter 592: The Master's Gift
Early the next morning, after the two had breakfast together, Yang Liuyi said goodbye to Fang Yang and left the villa.
Although the flight was in the afternoon, Yang Liuyi still decided to go to the designated hotel of Luhang in the morning to meet the cabin crew and make the necessary preparations.
Yang Liuyi is always meticulous about her work, which is why she can become a purser at such a young age.
And Fang Yang didn't stay in the villa for long, the car sent by the military blog arrived at the villa at about eight o'clock, and Director Mei of the Military Museum personally brought the car to pick up Fang Yang.
Because of the nature of his work, Director Mei, who is dressed in military uniform, still has a deep elegant temperament. As soon as they met, he warmly shook hands with Fang Yang and said:
"Xiao Fang, let's meet again!"
"Director Mei, you are so polite, the major general officer came to pick me up in person, I can't afford it!" Fang Yang said jokingly.
The military museum is a deputy military-level unit, and the curator and political commissar are both well-known generals.
"Xiao Fang, you have selflessly donated a large number of ancient books to us, I can't overstate any courtesy to you!" Director Mei smiled and said, "How is it?" Can we go? ”
Knowing that the event was scheduled for this morning, Fang Yang had already prepared early in the morning and changed into a more formal Armani suit.
Therefore, Fang Yang smiled and said:
"Anytime!"
While chatting, the two got into Director Mei's car, and the car drove towards the military expo.
Today is the New Year's Day holiday, so there is no congestion on the road during the rush hour of work, many businesses along the way have hung out red lanterns, played promotional posters, to welcome the Gregorian New Year, although the atmosphere of the festival is not as good as the traditional Spring Festival, but it is still relatively strong.
After arriving at the Military Museum, the staff was busy and busy.
On the way, Director Mei introduced the arrangements for today's event to Fang Yang.
The donation ceremony was set up in an exhibition hall redesigned by the Military Museum, which was all used to display the rare books collected by Mr. Han throughout his life, among which the ancient books that accompanied the old man during the war years and had high commemorative value and historical research value were also made into slides and played on a loop in the exhibition hall.
The military blog also attaches great importance to this event, reported to the Propaganda Department of the General Political Department, and the Propaganda Department coordinated many media to participate, including the military channel of the national television station, the comprehensive channel of the Beijing TV station, the Huaxia Military Newspaper, the Huaxia News Agency, the Huaxia Red Star Society and other mainstream media, including more than 20 media reporters will witness the whole process of the donation ceremony.
In terms of leading guests, Lieutenant General Han Lingfei, Deputy Director of the General Political Department, Major General Luo Chun, Director of the Propaganda Department of the General Political Department, and Taishan Beidou Baiyan Master in the Chinese calligraphy and painting industry will attend the ceremony.
At the event site, a huge red banner read "Comrade Han Changzheng's Ancient Book Donation and Han Changzheng Ancient Book Museum Opening Ceremony", the staff were sitting in the final preparations, and the media reporters who were currently present were also busy setting up cameras and debugging equipment.
The political commissar of Junbo Song, who was in charge of the on-site command, also greeted Fang Yang warmly when he saw him, and the two chief officers welcomed Fang Yang into a small lounge next to the exhibition hall, waiting for the ceremony to begin.
Han Lingfei and the other guests naturally didn't arrive so early - everyone's work was very busy, including Master Bai Yan, so they must have pinched it.
The reason why Director Mei invited Fang Yang in advance was mainly to communicate some details with Fang Yang, because he was the protagonist today!
Therefore, after sitting down in the lounge, Director Mei immediately smiled and said:
"Xiao Fang, can you take a look at the process of the whole activity again and see if there is anything that needs to be improved?"
Fang Yang looked at the agenda of the event, it was nothing more than the leader's speech, the guest's speech, etc., Fang Yang said after reading it:
"Director Mei, I have a reluctant request......
"Please!" Director Mei hurriedly said.
"Director Mei, originally I didn't want to attend such a ceremony, but my uncle gave me a death order, so I had to come to ......," Fang Yang said bluntly, and then said, "Therefore, can you not arrange me for some showy things, such as this part of my speech, or remove it!" Other than that...... Can you please say hello to the media, mainly reporting on my uncle and teachers, and it is better not to disclose information about me to the media......"
"Xiao Fang, this ......," Director Mei said with some embarrassment.
Inviting Fang Yang to participate in the donation ceremony, and also coming to so many media, in fact, the main reason is to increase Fang Yang's popularity.
Nowadays, some celebrities donate a little money for fear that others will not know, and they will try every means to make it known to everyone and hype themselves.
Fang Yang donated a room full of ancient books at one time, and they are all of great research value, and it can even be said to be a side epitome of different periods of party history and military history, and the value is incalculable.
So much so that the two chief officers of the receiving party Junbo felt that it seemed a little unkind to accept it so quietly, so they vigorously promoted the donation ceremony.
Originally, the original intention of Director Mei and Political Commissar Song was to emphasize the precious value of this batch of ancient books to the media, vigorously promote Fang Yang's selfless spirit, and let Fang Yang show his face well.
If Fang Yang doesn't give a speech, doesn't appear on camera, and doesn't even involve media reports, won't his arrangements be in vain? Even the draft of the speech had to be revised on an ad hoc basis.
Political Commissar Song was engaged in ideological work, and after he pondered for a while when he saw this, he said:
"Xiaofang, this matter still has to be divided into two parts, we don't want to overhype, but I think it is still necessary to state the facts to the media, publicizing the positive energy of the society is not the same thing as sticking gold on your face!"
Fang Yang smiled slightly and said:
"Commissar Song, I agree with you. It's just that I don't like to show my head very much, and I'm worried that my life will be disturbed in the future, and my uncle can represent the Han family, and his identity is more suitable to be the spokesperson of our Han family, so ...... I would also like to invite you both to consider my request. ”
Fang Yang is actually mainly troublesome, if it is exposed this time, it means that everyone in the world will know that he is the grandson of the old man Han Changzheng, and he may continue to receive interview requests from the media, which is absolutely unbearable.
And Han Lingfei does not have such a problem, his identity is well known, and it is impossible for the media to disturb a head of the headquarters - he can't just say that he can be contacted.
Director Mei and Political Commissar Song glanced at each other, and the two of them knew that Fang Yang was not polite verbally, but what he really thought in his heart. The two of them invariably thought of the identity of the children of Fang Yang's family.
It is true that there are many children of big families who try to keep a low profile outside, and sometimes it is also the request of the family elders, if this is Han Lingfei's opinion, then the two of them naturally can't persuade more.
Both of them understood the meaning in each other's eyes, and Director Mei nodded and said:
"Xiao Fang, since this is the case, then we respect your opinion."
Fang Yang knew that this would definitely bring some trouble to Curator Mei and their work, so he also said with a hint of apology:
"Director Mei, I'm sorry for your trouble......"
"Xiao Fang, don't say that." Director Mei hurriedly said, "There are so many qualified museums in the country, and you have chosen to donate these ancient books to our military museum, which is a great trust and great support for us!" What do we get by making a little adjustment? ”
"My grandfather grew up in the army, and a large part of these ancient books were collected during his military career, so it is naturally appropriate to donate them to the military museum." Fang Yang said with a smile.
"Anyway, we are very touched by your high wind and bright festival!" Political Commissar Song said, "Xiao Fang, so we don't understand the decision you made, but we will respect your opinion." ”
"Thank you." Fang Yang smiled.
After a few pleasantries, Director Mei and Political Commissar Song instructed the staff to do a good job of serving Fang Yang, and then left the lounge together-because of Fang Yang's request, they had to make certain adjustments to the event arrangements and speeches, and the time was already very tight.
Fang Yang sat in the lounge for a while, and was closing his eyes to recuperate, when he heard a voice from the door:
"Xiao Fang Yang!"
Fang Yang hurriedly opened his eyes, only to see Master Bai Yan, who had a white beard, standing at the door, looking at him with a smile.
"Teacher, you're here!" Fang Yang hurriedly stood up and respectfully greeted Master Bai Yan.
"Why don't you go home when you go back to Beijing? Do you think the teacher's home is too simple? Master Bai Yan asked.
Fang Yang hurriedly explained:
"Teacher, where is it! I was on the plane last night, and it was already ** o'clock when I landed in the capital, and then some things were delayed, and it was almost twelve o'clock when I got home, so late it must not be convenient to disturb you! ”
Master Bai Yan said with a smile in his eyes:
"This argument is barely valid."
Fang Yang let Master Bai Yan into the room, led him to sit down on the sofa, and then went to make a cup of tea and put it in front of Master Bai Yan, and then sat down on the sofa beside him and asked:
"Teacher, how are you doing?"
"It's good, I can eat and sleep." Master Bai Yan said with a smile, "I get up every day to box, write, and fish, and when I get old, my thoughts are simple, and my ordinary days are quite good." ”
"Teacher, you know life!" Fang Yang said with a smile, "It's too late for many people to envy!" However, it is inevitable that you will be very bored when you always stay in the capital, and you can go to Rongcheng when you have time! You have to give me a chance to be filial! ”
"The old arms and legs don't want to move!" Master Bai Yan said kindly, "When the weather gets warmer next year, I'll find a chance to go over!" ”
"Okay, teacher, I'm always waiting for you......" Fang Yang replied respectfully.
The winter weather in the south is relatively wet and cold, and Master Bai Yan has lived in North China for a long time, and he is so old, he may not be able to adapt to the climate there at this time.
Master Bai Yan smiled and nodded, then casually handed a scroll to Fang Yang and said:
"Open it up and take a look! This is a gift from the teacher! ”
"For me?" Fang Yang was surprised.
He had already seen Master Bai Yan holding this scroll in his hand, but considering that today was the opening of the Ancient Books Museum, Fang Yang naturally thought that it was written by the teacher for the Ancient Books Museum, but he didn't expect it to be given to him.
With a hint of curiosity, Fang Yang carefully opened the scroll, and when he saw the words inside, Fang Yang couldn't help but open his mouth wide in surprise, and when he turned his head to look at Master Bai Yan, his face could not hide his excitement, and his eyes were even a little red
