Chapter 1401 Reminder of Curator Rigg
After the meeting, it was already evening. Director Rigg returned to his home and had dinner with his family. After he sat in the study, the information he received today emerged in his mind.
Today, the information I received was so much that it was almost unbearable and very amazing.
The stolen cultural relics of Chen Yi were stolen by James. The reason was that he learned about the existence of Shakespeare's manuscripts through eavesdropping. After entering the police station, James made a suggestion to the British government, which led to the government holding the meeting just now.
However, the information that emerged in his mind was far more than what he got today, including some contact between Chen Yi and him. In his opinion, it was possible that this young man had planned in advance.
Chen Yi was meticulous and had only heard of it before, but he had some confirmation in his contact with Chen Yi.
Director Rigg thought for a long time in the study, but in the end he couldn't think of anything. He had to shake his head and give up and continue thinking. At this moment, he remembered the faces of those little British officials today.
Although he is the director of the British Museum and the museum he is in charge is filled with precious cultural relics from other countries, he does not take pride in this, nor will he show off in front of cultural relics experts from other countries.
Thinking of this Shakespeare manuscript, Director Rigg couldn't help but remember the treasure Chen Yi found in Italy.
This young man found some precious cultural relics in Italy, the birthplace of the Renaissance, two of which were extremely precious. One was a painting of Manzoni and the other was a national treasure-level cultural relics. Michelangelo's Genesis sketches.
Manzoni's oil paintings did not cause much shock, while Michelangelo's sketches were far different. These are the three masters of the Italian Renaissance, and Genesis is a world-famous mural, which has appeared in many famous movies.
The value and significance of these sketches are more precious than Michelangelo's oil paintings.
However, after Chen Yi discovered it, the Italian government only expressed its amazement and said that the emergence of Genesis sketches would further spread Michelangelo's art. In addition, it is said that no one had sent to contact Chen Yi.
Of course, there are many reasons for this. One is that Italy is the birthplace of the Renaissance, in its National Museum. It has many precious works by artists. The second reason is that Genesis sketches were discovered in a sculpture by Michelangelo, which was obtained by Chen Yi from the famous Italian rich man Lukino.
Lukino can be said to have great power in Italy, and there is even legend that even the famous Italian mafia dare not touch any of its power.
These sketches were discovered from what he got, so he naturally had the obligation to bring Chen Yi back to China. According to legend, he and Chen Yi hit it off and became friends at first sight.
Due to these numerous reasons, Chen Yi successfully brought Michelangelo's Genesis sketches back to China, which shocked many people at that time, and he was also among them.
However, now Chen Yi has arrived in Little Britain and may have discovered Shakespeare's manuscripts, but what their Little Britain government is going to do now is very different from the Italian government.
Perhaps Shakespeare's script manuscript was the most precious thing for them, but in this way, he, the director of the British Museum, was a little shameful.
Director Rigg couldn't help but take out his cell phone, looked at Chen Yi's number, and rubbed his brows and called out. He felt that he had to remind Chen Yi no matter what.
At this time, in the hotel, all the Chinese experts returned to their respective rooms. Chen Yi was writing his own small regular script. When the phone rang, he seemed to have not heard of it. After finishing writing the word in his pen, he gently put down his brush, then picked up the phone. Seeing the number, a smile appeared on his face, "Mr. Ruige, good evening."
Hearing the peaceful words from the phone, Director Rig couldn't help but smile. The young man's voice was always so peaceful, making people feel like spring breeze. "Mr. Chen, I'm calling at this time, I don't know if it has disturbed your rest."
"Mr. Ruige, you are too polite and have not disturbed at all. Time is so precious, how can you rest?" Chen Yi smiled. With his current ability to maintain Tai Chi health, even if he doesn't sleep for several days and nights, he will still remain awake.
"Well, I called today. The main reason is that there is one thing that needs to be reminded of." Director Rigg pondered for a moment, and said directly without making any more noise.
Chen Yi nodded, and showed emotion on his face. Director Rigg will call him to notify him, which was also expected by him. "I think it should be the matter of you attending the meeting today."
"Mr. Chen really knows it." Director Ruige shook his head and smiled. With Chen Yi's meticulous thoughts, he was probably really like he had guessed. Some of their current actions were all in the young man's plan.
At this time, he really wanted to ask whether Shakespeare's manuscript really exists, but he and Chen Yi are just ordinary friends. What's more, the Little British government now has to use some means to leave the manuscript. In this case, it is really hard for him to ask directly.
"It was a friend who told me, Mr. Rigg, thank you for reminding me." Chen Yi said with gratitude. Although these things were as expected by him, Director Rigg, as the director of the British Museum in Little Britain, chose to tell him about this, which shows how good his character is, and he is definitely a person worth making friends with.
Director Rig sighed and said, "Mr. Chen, don't be polite. I have also disclosed some of your information. I'm reminding you now, which is also apologizing to you."
"Many people know that Mr. Rigg doesn't have to care about that information. Remember to notify Mr. Alec that I will come to the hotel where I live at around 7:30 tomorrow. I will keep my promise and let you see the cultural relics." Chen Yi smiled indifferently, and then said to Director Rigg.
Hearing Chen Yi's words, Director Ruige showed some doubt on his face, "I just got the news. It seems that you will hold a press conference at 9 o'clock tomorrow. If we go to watch the cultural relics, it will not affect your press conference."
"The press conference will be held at nine o'clock, and it will not affect our viewing of cultural relics. Mr. Ruige, I will see you tomorrow." Chen Yi looked at the bright night outside the window and said with a smile. At tomorrow's press conference, many people thought it would be about this theft case or the appearance of the Nine-Eyed Dzi beads, but these people were wrongly guessed.
Director Rig put down the phone and sighed softly. From Chen Yi's peaceful words, he could know that the young man was confident about this meeting and was not nervous at all. Everything seemed to be expected. He had already reminded him that what he should have done was nothing to do with him.
But he couldn't guess what the ultimate goal of Chen Yi's plan was. He could clearly transport Shakespeare's manuscripts back to China through special channels, but he wanted to be exposed. He felt that it was related to these Chinese smuggled cultural relics, or a more profound purpose.
Then, he took out a phone call to inform Alec of the Cobb family, asking him to pick him up at around 7 o'clock tomorrow, and then went to Chen Yi's hotel to watch the cultural relics.
Alec was also a little confused. After asking for a moment, he agreed. He had not received any information about today's meeting.
After hanging up the phone with Director Rig, Chen Yi returned to the desk and looked at the calligraphy that had not been finished. He closed his eyes and thought for a while, then returned to the state he had just now, picked up the brush, dipped it in ink, and continued to write.
This kind of small regular script can be perfectly continued if it is broken. If it is running script or cursive script, it can be continued if it is interrupted, but it is definitely not as perfect as it is done in one go.
As time went by, the first ray of sunshine of the next morning rose on the land of Little Britain. Major media in London also got up early, had breakfast, and then packed up the guys and went to the hotel where Chen Yi lived to attend the press conference.
Although this time it may be just a release of some information about theft case, Chen Yi did not make it clear, and there is a very likely surprise. As for any surprise, this is what they could not guess.
At some press conferences held by Chen Yi, unexpected surprises will be brought from time to time, and some of them cannot guess at all.
At around 7 o'clock in the morning, Alec drove a car and picked up Director Rig, and then came to the hotel together. Since many media were waiting for entry in the hotel, under the arrangement of the hotel staff, they entered the hotel through the VIP channel and met Chen Yi.
After a chill, Chen Yi brought Director Rig and Alec to the room, made a cup of tea for them, and then took his suitcase over.
Looking at this suitcase, Director Ruige couldn't help but smile. This should be the one that Chen Yi was stolen yesterday, but he didn't expect that he was still in the room now.
However, Director Rigg felt in his heart that the box was stolen yesterday, which was very likely because Chen Yi did it on purpose. The more he thought about these things, the more complicated it became. Before things were clear, perhaps no one could guess what Chen Yi wanted to do.
