Chapter 1170: Office of the Deputy Director
Lu Yingjie figured out that his fate was determined by fate.
Originally, he didn't plan to answer other people's questions, but if Lin Ran needed to explain something, he was still willing to do it for him.
It turns out that during this period, I helped people in the village by doing red and white things, which was also recognized by the villagers.
Lin Ran felt very relieved, carefully folded the two letters and put them in the drawer.
Neither the letter nor the stamps were valuable, but in Lin Ran's opinion, they were priceless treasures.
The next day, he got up early and went to the National Museum.
The National Museum has undergone a major renovation. Lin Ran was not too impressed by the previous museum's complete renovation.
Moreover, the security here is more dedicated.
No matter what kind of car you drive, as long as you can't explain the reason, you are not allowed to drive in.
Lin Ran naturally did not have a work permit, nor did he have special approval from the curator.
So I could only leave the car outside and approach the museum.
He went straight to the museum's restoration facility.
The restoration office of the National Museum seems to be open to students on weekdays, and lectures and the like are held here.
Lin Ran did not encounter any obstruction as he walked to the restoration center.
However, he was still stopped at the door.
"Who are you? Which school are you from?" The man at the door looked impatient.
"I'm not a student." Lin Ran said.
"Not a student? Then what are you doing here? The other side of the exhibition area is not open to the public."
It seemed that there were activities with the school today. After the uncle learned that Lin Ran was not a student, his attitude immediately changed and he was about to drive him out.
Lin Ran took out Bai Hu's business card.
"I'm here to find her."
"Deputy Director Yang?" The old man felt a little strange when he saw the business card.
Bai Hu is an elusive person. He has an ordinary relationship with other colleagues in the institute. He has been here for five or six years, but the only one he has any contact with is Supervisor Xie.
Others always greeted her indifferently.
But she is the deputy director after all, and no one dares to mess with him.
The old man first looked at Lin Ran and felt that he and Bai Hu didn't look alike, so they probably weren't mother and daughter.
He didn't believe that Bai Hu would get to know such a young guy, and he even brought him to the repair shop.
His face tightened, "No, unless the director comes to pick you up in person."
The old man ignored his neighbor's thoughts and pushed him directly out of the repair house.
As a result, he accidentally pushed him onto someone else.
When he saw the person coming, the old man panicked instantly.
He quickly apologized: "Director, I'm sorry, this guy forced his way into the restoration facility, and I'm kicking him out."
The person he hit was Director Xie of the National Museum.
Director Xie received a call from the Ministry of Culture and Culture this morning, asking them to carefully restore the cultural relics.
And he didn't know the news about the cultural relics at all, so he rushed over to ask about the situation.
He saw clearly that the person who bumped into him was Lin Ran who participated in the competition yesterday.
This young man, at such a young age, is actually on par with Bai Hu in repairing skills.
What is he doing here?
Curator Xie went to Mr. Xiong with Tang Lanxuan yesterday and saw his exquisite skills in repairing ceramics.
He was naturally envious that Tang Lanxuan could receive such a disciple.
The National Museum is in the process of development. If we can recruit such talents, it will be a huge improvement for them.
Thinking of this, Director Xie suddenly had an idea.
The Cultural Relics Restoration Department of the Palace Museum is only a small department.
Because most of the cultural relics they receive are complete cultural relics.
The people have a special affection for the Forbidden City, and the Forbidden City Museum has become their first target for donating cultural relics.
Even though it carries the national flag, its influence among the people is still not as great as that of the National Palace Museum. This has always made Director Xie worried.
Did Lin Ran come here to defect to him?
That's great.
Director Xie said to the old man: "Old Niu, go and entertain the students."
"But him?"
"It doesn't matter. I know him. He is the little master Lin who is often rumored by the outside world. He will not lie to us."
In fact, even if Director Xie didn't explain, the old man couldn't stop them.
Now that he had given himself a step up, the old man took advantage of the situation and said, "It turns out to be Mr. Lin, disrespectful."
He looked at a student in the distance coming with a folder, and quickly stepped forward with paper and pen: "Classmate, which school are you from? Come and register."
Lin Ran didn't know why Curator Xie helped him.
In his impression, Director Xie was just an ordinary researcher, but he never expected to become a curator in this life.
He is still on an equal footing with Tang Lanxuan, is it possible that he also has some luck?
Director Xie knew that Lin Ran was here to see Bai Hu. While leading the way, Director Xie explained the duties of the National Museum to Lin Ran with a smile.
"If you can become a second-level researcher in our museum, you will have the opportunity to enter the Ministry of Chinese Culture and Culture, or even a department with greater power. After all, we are a directly affiliated museum."
Listening to his introduction, Lin Ran felt as if Director Xie was promoting his own company.
He has no interest in joining the museum. After all, it is better not to have anything to do with the state.
If something goes wrong, you can take the responsibility yourself without causing any conflicts.
Curator Xie was talking nonsense beside him, and even told Lin Ran about his secret to becoming a curator.
"I know my level is not very high, and treasure appraisal will always make a difference, but I have one advantage, even Old Tang can't compare to me." Director Xie's proud expression fell into Lin Ran's eyes.
Lin Ran actually wanted to know how a third-level researcher managed to get the position of curator.
In this era, what matters is seniority.
At the same time, it also pays attention to strength.
This is not an era where relationships can lead to success. Relationships play a negligible role. Only by making real contributions can you be recognized by the organization.
This point was relatively well implemented in the early 80s.
Curator Xie did not hide anything and said with a smile: "The biggest difference between me and Old Tang is how we look at people."
"My level of treasure appraisal can only be described as average, but in terms of my level of appreciation of people, among the National Museum, I claim to be second, and absolutely no one dares to claim to be first."
Then, in order to ease the embarrassment, he pretended to smile casually: "I'm kidding you. But I'm really good at reading people, like you. I can tell at a glance that you are not a cultural relic restorer."
Lin Ran was a little surprised, but he didn't have time to ask about the situation.
They had already arrived at the core area of the restoration facility.
This kind of place is not open to the public, so when strange faces come in, the researchers who come in and out all look at them.
But seeing that it was the curator, everyone smiled and said hello, and then left in a hurry.
They traveled unimpeded and arrived at Bai Hu's office.
After knocking on the door three times, Bai Hu's cold voice came from inside: "Who is it?"
"Xie Jie." Director Xie replied, "And Lin Ran."
