At eight o'clock in the evening, the state banquet at Qianmen began to be lively, with a water of luxury cars at the door, people coming and going, and their faces were filled with joy that did not match the city. Xu Zhengnan has a long bag in it, only today is Cheng Yubai as the east, he will be a guest and the host, and when he arrives at the door of the peony private room, the manager comes to greet him.

The female manager looks young, but she has the means to roll and crawl on the Fengyue field, and she made Xu Zhengnan laugh in three or two sentences, and asked her again and again if she had time and wanted to invite her to dinner. When the two were flirting, Zhu Rong came in, Xu Zhengnan patted the female manager's buttocks, decided on his own initiative, and immediately walked towards Zhu Rong.

"Brother Zhu, you are here, I am waiting for you here......" He opened his cuffs to look at his watch, and said exaggeratedly, "At least half an hour, you can have a few more drinks later." ”

Zhu Rong looked into the box and smiled: "The owner hasn't arrived yet, what is Xu Dong anxious about?" ”

"That's different, Yibai just called me and said that the road was blocked, let us start first. I've got the wine he wants to punish, and now I'm going to tell you about you. ”

Zhu Rong said with a smile: "I made a special trip to accompany Xu Dong today, as long as Xu Dong is happy, you have the final say on how to drink." ”

"But don't, won't I just take the lead in this way?"

Xu Zhengnan was not confused at all when he should be sober, and invited the waiter to put on a pot of red robes, and sat down with Zhu Rong before he spoke: "Actually, when you two talk about things, there is no need to take me as an outsider to accompany me, so that I look like a witness." ”

Zhu Rong thought to himself, if you want to come, you have a thousand reasons to shirk it, obviously you want to come over to ask for stability, and you are afraid that the lice will not pick up the upper body, how can you take advantage of it everywhere? So he said: "In today's game, I think you have to be a witness on the spot, otherwise the movement will be big, and you won't be able to worry." ”

"How?" Xu Zhengnan's tea came to his mouth and put it down.

Zhu Rong pretended to be surprised: "Xu Dong doesn't know? ”

"What's the matter, Brother Zhu, don't sell it, my heart has been upset by you, and it's uncomfortable."

"Today is the recording of the fifth episode of "The Heavy Weapons of the Great Power", right?"

Xu Zhengnan has a lot of opportunities, where do you remember such a trivial matter? Confused: "What's wrong?" ”

"The guest speaker of today's show is Xu Qing."

"What? How could she possibly be on the show? Isn't she and Ichibaku? Oh, no......"

At the beginning, because the two of them were in the ring, Xu Zhengnan personally taught his son who was not angry, so he had a good impression of this woman named Xu Qing, and several reform turmoil were related to her, Xu Zhengnan directly classified her into Cheng Yubai's hostile camp. It wasn't until the day of the auction that the relationship between the two changed, and they seemed to have become allies.

"Yibai's show, it shouldn't matter if she used to be, right?" Xu Zhengnan looked at the time again, his brows furrowed, "Why hasn't Yibai come yet?" ”

"Maybe it's not coming, is it?"

"What do you mean?"

Xu Zhengnan's head turned quickly, what does it mean to invite them to talk peacefully at such a time, and let that woman go to the show? Won't it ......

"Tonight is the Hongmen Banquet?"

Zhu Rong smiled. He wasn't sure if Cheng Yubai would be there to watch the show in person.

At the door of the Porcelain Association, Xu Qing pretended to be innocent, although he eliminated some doubts, but after thinking about it, there are still many details that are not worth scrutinizing, such as how she entered the Magnolia Mansion? In what she said to Aunt Cleaning that day, her name was clearly mentioned, indicating that she knew that he was the dealer behind the private auction, so the so-called accusation against Cheng Yubai was not established.

Sure enough, as soon as she turned her head, she instigated Gu Yan to turn herself in.

Heh, can he not understand Gu Yan's temperament? If she really dares to do something, she won't wait until today.

Thinking that one is spending on this, the other can use the media to expose the counterfeit trade and divert his attention? Is he really a papier-mâché tiger?

Zhu Rong tapped his fingers on the edge of the table, watched the hour hand move past eight o'clock, and the corners of his lips moved slightly: "It seems that this tune tiger leaves the mountain plan can't be sung." ”

Xu Zhengnan didn't listen carefully to what he said, the more he pondered, the more panicked he became, and said repeatedly: "No, no, I have to go back and see." ”

When he walked to the door, he saw that Zhu Rong was not moving, and there was a chance of victory between his eyebrows, his heart suddenly withdrew his stomach, and he turned to ask him: "Does Brother Zhu have any backhand?" ”

"Xu Dong is not in a hurry, isn't our protagonist today not yet here?"

Xu Zhengnan sat down again.

The two drank tea for a while and chatted for a while, but before Cheng Yubai arrived at half past eight, Xu Zhengnan was anxious again, and Zhu Rong also realized that Cheng Yubai would not come. Just then, a call came in.

Zhu Rong's face changed suddenly after connecting, and without waiting to hang up, he took his clothes and walked out.

Xu Zhengnan dragged his heavy fat body to catch up: "Brother Zhu, what's wrong?" ”

"Go back and stop the show."

"Huh?"

Zhu Rong repeated it again, but before Xu Zhengnan could react, the other party had already driven away. Looking at that direction, it was not even going to Wanhe Media's studio.

Xu Zhengnan had to go back to the company in a hurry, and he didn't answer any calls to Cheng Yubai on the way, and Zhu Rong couldn't be contacted, so he realized that something was wrong, where was the Hongmen banquet? It is clear that the two tigers are fighting, and the soldiers are suffering.

This time is exactly the evening rush hour, Wanhe Media is in a developed area of the new district, and there must be a traffic jam every eight o'clock, Xu Xiaohe pinched the watch to calculate the time, seeing that there were less than ten minutes left before the start of the live broadcast, and the heart that mentioned the throat and eyes suddenly let go back. He also received the news temporarily, only to know that it was Xu Qing on the show today.

Xu Qing wanted to be on the show, but he didn't go through him, but went beyond the white relationship, and he knew bad things when he touched him. If you want to stop it, but you're afraid of making a big fuss, this won't drag on until the beginning. The studio was all messed up, and the director saw Xu Xiaohe at the door, with a Bao Gong's face, and he didn't dare to hit his muzzle, so he just blindly urged people to contact Xu Qing.

As he spoke, someone shouted, "Here we are." ”

Xu Xiaohe immediately turned his head, and he was dizzy at this sight, and he couldn't say a word. Xu Qing was covered in blood, covered his head and walked in, passing past Xu Xiaohe, with a burst of humid heat.

Xu Qing nodded to the director, then pointed to He Dong's phone and asked with his mouth: "Cheng Yubai?" ”

He Dong's voice was stuck in his throat and he blinked.

Xu Qing said: "I'm fine, don't tell him." ”

So He Dong said, "She's here." Don't worry. I really kid you, it's just a traffic jam. How about I give you a word? Okay, I guarantee that it will be returned to Zhao. ”

After hanging up the phone, He Dong stepped forward as soon as possible and took out a handkerchief for her: "That guy is really difficult." Are you okay? ”

"No problem."

He Dong didn't speak, and looked into her eyes to confirm it again. Plus this time, it was only the third time He Dong had seen Xu Qing, but there was an intuitive feeling that this girl had changed, like a crack on the ice surface in early spring. The cracks are sharp and angular, and they do not gradually melt with time and temperature, but the cracks that suddenly arise under many changes, but because of the cracks, they shine brightly.

To be honest, He Dong was a little afraid to do an interview with her, and her offensive in the first episode of the show was too strong, forcing her to come up forcefully, giving people a kind of pressure. Rao is used to seeing wind and waves, and he has to admire her strength in some professions. This is her attack power, and it is also her charm, just like at this time, when she wiped the blood on her face with a handkerchief dipped in pure water, beckoned the director to help her find a clean dress, and asked the makeup artist to rub powder on her to cover the scars, He Dong got the answer.

He said to the director to start.

The director didn't dare to assert himself, for fear that he would be responsible for something that happened on the way, so he asked Xu Xiaohe. Xu Xiaohe leaned against the wall, his face was pale, and he didn't seem to have eased up, and looked at Xu Qing with a smile.

This prince usually looks horizontal, in the end there is a shadow of the life lawsuit, and after returning to China, he has been forcing himself with his mother's last wishes, although he has not made any big achievements, but he has not done anything foolish. It's normal for Leng Buding to be scared when he encounters a body of blood.

Xu Xiaohe was not afraid, but angry. At this moment, his blood was flowing backwards, anger and chill rushing to the top of his head at the same time.

Just when Xu Zhengnan called to stop today's live broadcast, he kicked the director, closed the door, and sealed the studio on the spot.

The show officially began.

It's still the same old-fashioned greetings, leading to topics, then throwing out arguments, and pushing to a climax. The only surprise is that tonight's topic is not related to "fakes" as Xu Xiaohe predicted, but a very great philosophy class - can designers break the stereotypes of ancient ceramics at the social level?

Xu Qing's explanation is: "As a designer who has just experienced a painful lesson, if I want to say that I have any impression of ancient ceramics that prompted me to make such a serious mistake in the design process of butterfly transformation or tea ware, that is, I always think that the historical culture and humanistic feelings represented by traditional ceramics override its value in other aspects, so I regard design as a new weapon in the 21st century, in a vain attempt to defeat a power that has been passed down for thousands of years." I think it's ridiculous, on the one hand, the environment I live in, the education I received and the development of the current society, let me ignore the cognition and understanding of ceramics itself, its existence is a kind of culture, a kind of feelings, how can I want to defeat it? On the other hand, I began to ask myself, why do I want to defeat ancient ceramics? Is it because modern ceramics are more widely used? Just because I have moved away from the primitive and inefficient production method of hand-made, can I laugh at ancient ceramics that have existed for thousands of years? What makes me stupid, low-class, and ridiculous? Why is my vision so narrow?

Why are there so many definitions for ceramics? Why is it necessary to distinguish between traditional ceramics and modern ceramics? The so-called practicality, aesthetics, display, and even the aesthetic standards of warmth, temperament and sense of the times, if we limit our own feelings and perceptions of ceramics, so as to cause the lack of pattern, then we have lost more?

Not long ago, I saw a heated discussion, the president of a famous university borrowed a foreign masterpiece to express his hope for students in a letter of recommendation for new students, but it caused heated discussions among netizens. People can't understand why China should give a book by an American writer because it has a history of 5,000 years of civilization and has so many excellent literary works since ancient times. Could it be that there is no book by a Chinese writer that is suitable for students to read, and a book by an American author must be given? Over the years, I have seen that many cultures are recovering, many spiritual civilizations are moving to the forefront, and everyone has begun to emphasize national self-confidence and cultural self-confidence, but in a letter of recommendation, many people have lost this self-confidence. Isn't the self-confidence we pursue a tolerance and appreciation of culture? Why do we always stay in the surface of hostility, and fail to see the essence of things in a deeper way, the essence of which is the spirit emphasized by good works, and there are no national boundaries. And the self-confidence of a great country is nothing more than the use of international masterpieces in the recommendation letters of famous college freshmen to establish the spirit! Our cultural self-confidence should be so powerful and far-reaching, isn't it?

Returning to ceramics, the same is true.

What kind of ceramic culture does Jingdezhen see? Is this cultural dimension enough to border the front end of the world? How to elevate ceramic culture to ceramic civilization? How to elevate the aesthetics of life to the aesthetics of the city? How to make every family in the world reconnect with Jingdezhen? How to establish the right to speak and price Chinese ceramics to the world?

The soft power composed of brand, thought, culture, knowledge, wisdom, technology, mechanism, policy and other elements is the magic weapon that helps Jingdezhen stand out in the new round of competition, and this ultimately falls on the core element of talent, and only a new humanistic city can carry all this.

"So what do you think can make Jingdezhen have such a day?"

Xu Qing said that this issue is a small part, but stereotypes, prejudices and antagonism are long-standing ills. For example, she used to only regard ceramics as a medium and design as a means, and never had an equal dialogue with this living organism, nor did she really treat the existence of ceramics as equals, she felt sorry and took a lot of detours to understand this.

"I know I'm not alone, and it's not a certain environment that affects us, but conscious awakening is more cherished than ever."

Xu Qing said a lot, and on the surface, it seems that her purpose is not strong, for example, she will say, "First of all, Jingdezhen does not lack high-end technology and front-end equipment." Silicate, the core major of the Ceramic University, is thought to be a traditional ceramic major, but it is actually a real high-tech chemistry major. The ratio of porcelain clay and glaze is itself a complex chemical reaction.

I give this example just to illustrate that even when thermometers were invented in the West and we were still testing kiln temperatures empirically, our skills never lagged behind. Today, we have no shortage of thermometers, and we can even use AI computer heating programs, and Jingdezhen can maintain absolute advanced equipment in Jingdezhen. From glaze ratio to kaolin and other clays, pigments, including the control of kiln temperature, from traditional craftsmanship to modern aesthetics, Jingdezhen has always been at the forefront of the world.

The well-known British bone china, German porcelain, and Dutch porcelain, the advanced they represent are actually pragmatic design and mass production capabilities, automated assembly line industry chains and marketing capabilities. But how many people know about this? ”

This passage was still said by Cheng Yubai when Xu Qing went to a scoop to learn handicraft, and he asked her what level of understanding of the development process of Jingdezhen ceramics? What have been the main changes over the years? Most importantly, what is the impact of the sinking ceramic environment on young people? To sum up, there are too many distinctions and antagonisms, which makes everyone sweep the snow in front of their own doors.

"You're right, all the conflicts between the old and the new, between technology and craftsmanship, between manufacturing and creation, over the years have come from opposing attitudes. If you want to get rid of prejudice and inherent cognition, open up your horizons and patterns, and form an inclusive ceramic environment, you must first learn to respect and appreciate, and look at things with a peaceful and non-antagonistic eye. He Dong smiled and asked, "Do you have any good suggestions?" ”

Xu Qing said: "Teaching. ”

Teaching is the only way to revive a society that has sunk and gone downhill, and even being in the ceramic environment has been ignorant, not to mention those who do not understand ceramics at all.

Cheng Yubai asked her, "Why do you look at university cooperation when you want to start the popularity of the Sishitang brand in China?" ”

This is also the fundamental reason why the first stop of Baicai's reform is the teaching experiment. It was not until that moment that Xu Qing believed that what Cheng Yubai wanted was by no means a certain party's word, nor was it an environment with only traditional ceramics. If it was such ambition, he should have avoided teaching. If Confucius wants to advocate benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and faith, he must start with lectures, and the subsequent Taoist and Legalist ideas are enough to prove that the truth is to compete for the current. And the youth movement, the national awakening, which one has nothing to do with teaching?

Teaching is the beginning of spirit and life, and it is also the switch between good and evil.

Later that night, when a real-name report involving a number of insider trading and illegal trading of the Chunyuan Porcelain Association appeared on the headlines of major headlines, Xu Xiaohe finally understood the theme of tonight.

He suddenly felt that there was a bit of chivalry in those ceramic people that he didn't understand but longed for.
