Xu Youran slowly raised his head and asked in a hoarse voice, "What is the name of that good friend?" ”

"It's that local tyrant Chen Biting Jin, you know, it is said that he later became good friends with Qiao Ling, I don't know what happened." Mu Qingcheng quickly organized the language, "Although that person likes to show off his wealth and is more pompous, he still has a good heart, he is out of good intentions, you can accept it." ”

"I'm not short of money, what I lack is ......" Xu Youran looked at her tremblingly, and tears suddenly poured out. She suddenly erupted, her hands pounding her chest, and she screamed in pieces, "Why, why did I survive!" ”

Her frantic appearance made Mu Qingcheng tremble, Cheng Lang rushed over, hugged her lightly into his arms, and was busy with kind words to soothe.

Xu leisurely grabbed Cheng Lang's arm spasmodically, and his body trembled like a leaf in the wind.

Mu Qingcheng couldn't bear to see this painful scene, so he turned his face away, and saw Cheng Yijie's gaze shooting directly at Cheng Lang and Xu Youran, with a thoughtful expression.

Xu Youran gradually calmed down, raised his tearful face, and muttered to the void: "This is all retribution, those who have done bad things are destined to be punished by God." Although I survived, life is better than death, and I don't know when such a painful and torturous day will end......"

Mu Qingcheng's heart flowed with a sourness, and tears appeared in his eyes.

Cheng Yijie got up and walked over and whispered, "Let's go, it's in the way of them here." ”

Mu Qingcheng nodded, put the stack of money in his hand on the coffee table, and did not say goodbye, and left quietly with Cheng Yijie.

It was a cold winter night outside, and it was still sunny during the day, but it started to rain at night. Neither of them had an umbrella with them, and the night was cold and damp, and the rain fell like fine powder, falling on their hair, cheeks, and placket. The car was parked right in front

Not far away, Cheng Yijie hugged Mu Qingcheng tightly and walked quickly.

After getting in the car, Cheng Yijie asked, "Do you still have to rehearse early tomorrow morning?" ”

Mu Qingcheng said yes.

"Then I'll send you back to the dormitory of the Song and Dance Theater, it's not early, rest early." Cheng Yijie said and started the car.

Mu Qingcheng looked up at the dark sky outside the car window, and the boundless drizzle, and now, her heart was also gloomy. She couldn't help but start to doubt Cheng Yijie's intentions, he tried his best to marry her, just to snub her and make her lonely and depressed

Widowhood? But she didn't want to say anything, she didn't want to ask anything.

Cheng Yijie was also silent for a while before he spoke again: "When will the performance end?" ”

"It's over next Tuesday and you can go home." She said subconsciously, with a sense of anticipation.

"Are you going to continue working in the museum?" Cheng Yijie changed the subject.

Mu Qingcheng was stunned. "Why do you ask?"

"There are a lot of antique merchants in our cultural and creative city, there are many rare cultural relics that need to be restored, and there are few professional cultural relics restorers in the whole Xilin City, if you are willing to quit your job in the museum and come to the cultural and creative city, the income will definitely be much higher than in the museum."

Cheng Yijie said very sincerely, "You don't need to continue working at all, I can afford to support you." But I know you don't like the life of a stay-at-home wife, since you also have to work, it is better to change to a higher paying job, first, you can get a greater sense of accomplishment and satisfaction, and secondly, we have more time and opportunities to get along, and we are in this state now, not at all like a newlywed. ”

Mu Qingcheng's heart stirred up a sour tenderness, he finally remembered that they were newlyweds. His proposal made her a little moved, she needed money very much, although her brother who was not angry did not dare to gamble anymore, but he was still idle all day long, living a life of "gnawing the old". The insatiable mother often opens her mouth and threatens to go to the unit at every turn. Cheng Yijie has done enough for them, she is unwilling to reach out to him to ask for money anymore, and she can't abandon her mother's family, so she still has to contribute her monthly savings to them basically as before. If she could have a higher-paying job, she would have been less stressed. Of course, having more time and opportunities to spend time with him is more attractive to her. However, she has a career in the museum, her job is relatively stable, and the trust and cultivation of the leaders make her feel very reluctant.

"If you think it's feasible, I'll go through the resignation procedures tomorrow." Cheng Yijie seemed to be very urgent, "You can participate in the rehearsal and performance as usual, and come back to work when the performance is over." If there is still a need for performances in the future, I will not hinder you. ”

"Tomorrow?" Mu Qingcheng panicked, "No, I haven't thought about it yet, I have to wait until I think about it before I can make a decision." ”

"Well, how about giving you two days to think about it?" Cheng Yijie made a concession.

Mu Qingcheng still shook his head. "Wait until the show is over, I don't have the time or energy to think about it these days."

Cheng Yijie smiled helplessly, and asked again: "Is your treasure of the town hall still kept by you now?" When will the exhibition be set up? ”

"I'm not alone, but two other colleagues." Mu Qingcheng replied, "I just transported it back to the underground warehouse of our museum from the Overseas Chinese Museum a few days ago, and it will not be taken out of the underground warehouse until the morning of the official exhibition on the 30th and hung up in the exhibition hall. ”

"You're going to be involved in the installation of the exhibition then?" Cheng Yijie asked again.

Mu Qingcheng said that he would, and the three of them would go to the museum early in the morning, and only by cooperating with each other could they enter the warehouse to pick up paintings. Once the settings were ready, she took part in a make-up rehearsal in the plaza outside the museum to make final preparations for the night's premiere.

"In that case, you'd better be careful these days." Cheng Yijie specially advised, "I'm worried that Jim will trouble you again, he will definitely not give up that painting, and he is still looking for the right time." It was difficult to do it in the warehouse before, but when it was exhibited in the exhibition hall, it would be the best time. ”

Mu Qingcheng was shocked when he heard this, thinking of the previous shooting incident in Manila and the few acquaintances he met in the Buffalo Village, and a strong sense of unease suddenly rose in his heart. "Could it be that the previous shooting in Manila was also related to Jim? Was he a member of a theft ring in the theft of the British Museum? But what I don't understand is that since they stole the original traces, what else do they want the Song people to copy the copy? ”

"The copy of the Song people is also priceless, if the two paintings are in hand together, you can also steal the dragon and turn the phoenix, for example, at the price of the original work, what is sold is actually the copy of the Song people." Cheng Yijie said, "Of course, this is just my speculation, but he has made such a big move before, and he did not hesitate to create a kidnapping case, there is no reason not to seize such a good opportunity." So, you have to pay attention to everyone and everything around you, and call me as soon as you notice anything out of the ordinary. In addition, I would like to say again, if you want to stay out of the situation, it is better to quit tomorrow, and you should think about it. ”

Mu Qingcheng nodded and said hello, and his emotions became heavy one by one. Will the public appearance of the Song people's copy of "Han Xizai's Night Banquet" cause a bloody storm?

Cheng Yijie sent Mu Qingcheng back to the dormitory and left, Mu Qingcheng sat down on the edge of the bed, her face was sad and her mood was low, she just sat there, thinking about everything in a trance. If it is really as Cheng Yijie guessed, she is by no means Jim's opponent, and she can't afford the huge panic and helplessness of having any relatives in a desperate situation. However, she can't be an embarrassed deserter and shirk responsibility! She lowered her head and buried her cheeks in the pillow, when suddenly her heart shook, and a sore ache rushed straight to her head, her eyes were hot, and the silky fabric was damp. Yes, it must stay, and no matter how terrible Jim is, it can't be a reason for her to escape!

In the next few days, Mu Qingcheng tried her best to suppress her confused and uneasy emotions, and was busy as usual, Jim didn't trouble her, and she didn't find anything unusual.

The premiere of "Han Xizai's Night Banquet" is finally coming, and the Song people's copy version of "Han Xizai's Night Banquet" is also on public display for the first time. Early that morning, Mu Qingcheng, Li Yanshan, and Shi Qi entered the underground warehouse together and took out the painting. As a series of exhibitions to celebrate the museum, the museum opened several exhibition halls at the same time, and the exhibits are all national first-class cultural relics in the museum's collection, which are very precious and rare. In order to make the environment of the Song people's copy of "Han Xizai's Night Banquet" match the artistic effect of the historical dynasties, the museum has set aside a space of 150 square meters to create an exhibition site with an ancient Chinese architectural environment and a simple and elegant atmosphere.

Several exhibition halls are installed with a complete infrared surveillance camera monitoring system, the video surveillance point in the system is not only a video collection equipment, but also a pair of eyes that are good at finding. For example, a camera with a retention rule can be used to monitor exhibits, and under normal circumstances, the object is always in the camera's field of view, and the camera will automatically send an alarm when the object is removed or removed. Another example is to set the direction rules, under normal circumstances, everyone walks in the order of going out, and when there is a suspicious person walking in the direction of entering the door, the camera can also immediately send out an alarm. In the words of the curator, "As long as there is any movement in the exhibition hall, the monitoring equipment will alarm the police, and not a single cat can pass through." "In addition to the technical team responsible for infrared surveillance and video surveillance devices, there is also a security team that patrols the various exhibition halls 24 hours a day.

As soon as "Han Xizai's Night Banquet" was unveiled, a large number of audiences lined up at the entrance of the exhibition hall to see the style of the famous paintings. Because only a few dozen visitors can be allowed at a time, and they are limited to two meters apart, many visitors have to wait at the entrance.

Originally, the museum closed at 5:30 p.m., but in order to cooperate with the performance of Namin Music and Dance, the exhibition time of "Han Hee-jae's Night Banquet" was extended to 8 p.m., so that the audience could enjoy the famous paintings before the performance began. The rest of the exhibition halls are closed and locked, except for the 150-square-meter space.
