Director Gao, I need to trouble you more about this matter of my apprentice!" The old lady nodded and said to Director Gao again.
"Ah?!" Director Gao opened his mouth, "Classmate Xiao Zhang is also your apprentice?"
Director Gao would not be so surprised if Zhang Junping was Yang Mingde's apprentice. Although Yang Mingde did not have many apprentices, he had six or seven apprentices over the years.
As for the old lady, she has never accepted an apprentice. I don’t know how many people wanted to be apprenticed to the old lady through connections, but the old lady refused to accept any of them.
She just said that she was not good at that and wanted to learn sculpture from her, so she should come to the Sculpture Department of CAFA. Every student in the Sculpture Department was her apprentice.
That being said, who doesn't know that the difference between the apprentice and the student is not the slightest bit different.
"Yes! Xiao Pingzi is my and Lao Yang's joint apprentice!" the old lady said affirmatively again.
Director Gao was a little jealous that this boy He Dehe Neng was actually accepted as a disciple by Dean Yang and Director Liu.
The apprentices of two big names in the art world can walk away from the entire Central Academy of Fine Arts.
With the support of these two people, as long as Zhang Junping is not too bad, he will definitely have a place in the art world in the future.
"Director Liu, your disciple is very thoughtful. This matter is a great thing for our school and for the students. It is a great thing that kills three birds with one stone. Naturally, our Logistics Department will strongly support it!"
It's just... Dean Yang, Director Liu, you also know the current situation of our Central Academy of Fine Arts, where the factory is set up..." I originally wanted to give Yang Mingde a big favor, but now Director Gao simply doesn't want to.
He couldn't afford to give away the favor of the two art world tycoons.
"There is no need for your logistics department to consider where to set up a factory. You can just put your name on it and let Xiao Pingzi hand over a portion of the money to you every year. This way you can have an account of the school!" The old lady was more direct than Yang Mingde.
The old lady is truly determined without desire. Even if she is not the current chair of the department, she would not be willing to take the position if Dean Jiang had not repeatedly invited her.
"Okay, then just follow Director Liu's wishes. As for handing over the money, just pay one or two hundred yuan a year!"
Please ask Xiao Zhang to go to my place, let's sign an agreement, and then I will arrange for someone to go to the industrial and commercial office to register!" Director Gao agreed following the old lady's words.
After finishing the matter, Director Gao did not stay in Yang Mingde's office for much longer, and left after saying a few polite words.
"You came to see me for something?"
"I will take Xiao Pingzi to Lao Wang's place later. Do you want to go with me?"
"I won't go. It would be too embarrassing for him if we go together!" Yang Mingde refused with a smile.
"You! I knew you would say that!
"Here, I've had someone copy an extra set of the manuscripts compiled by Xiao Pingzi. This is one of them. I'll have the rest sent to you later." The old lady took out a manuscript she had brought.
There are three to four thousand pieces of Zhang Junping's manuscripts, filling a box full. Naturally, it is impossible for the old lady to carry them to Yang Mingde alone.
…
After coming out of Master Yang Mingde's office, Zhang Junping followed the old lady back to the studio.
At this time, Huang Xue was already waiting in the studio.
At the same time, a small off-road vehicle was parked in front of the studio.
This is the car ordered by the old lady. The old lady's level is naturally not enough to match the car, but with the old lady's energy, it is not difficult to adjust the car for use.
The old lady sent a small off-road vehicle, Ladaniva.
The Ladaniva is a car produced in the Soviet Union. Its off-road performance was very good in the 1980s. Even from the perspective of Zhang Junping's descendants, this is a very beautiful off-road vehicle.
Zhang Junping first moved the manuscript to Radaniwa's trunk, and then helped the old lady into the passenger seat. Zhang Junping and Huang Xue got into the back seat.
Soon we arrived at the Forbidden City, and the car drove into a yard next to the Forbidden City.
There is a sign hanging at the door of the courtyard, Chinese Cultural Relics Research Institute.
"Hey, what brought you here, Mr. Liu?"
As soon as the old lady got out of the car, a bald old man came out of the house. He saw the old lady and greeted her with a smile.
This old man is very distinctive. His head is round and bright, exuding an oily sheen.
"Winds from the southeast and northwest!" the old lady replied with a smile.
"This is Mr. Shi, a famous domestic historian and cultural relic appraisal expert!
This is my apprentice, bring him here to see the world today!"
"I've met Mr. Shi!" Zhang Junping hurriedly stepped forward to greet him.
Shi Lao and Shi Shuqing are the four major cultural relic appraisal experts in China.
This is not one of those half-assed experts of later generations.
He is a real authority. Together with Qigong, Yang Renkai and Xu Bangda, he is known as one of the "four major cultural relic appraisal experts" in my country. He is an expert with real talent and knowledge.
Ma Weidu, who was known as an expert in later generations, was only qualified to carry shoes in front of Shi Shuqing.
“Haha, such a spirited young man!
Mr. Liu, I didn’t expect you to accept a disciple as well!” Mr. Shi nodded gently to Zhang Junping, and then smiled at the old lady.
“When you meet someone you like and like, you’ll naturally accept it!”
The old lady was talking to Mr. Shi, and another old man with a square head and big ears pushed the door out. When he saw the old lady, he shouted: "Mr. Liu, you are here!"
Is this the disciple? Have you brought the things?"
"You old guy, you're already this old, why are you still acting like a kid?
I have brought you both the people and the manuscript!" the old lady laughed and scolded.
Seeing the person clearly, Zhang Junping couldn't help but feel excited.
This is Wang Shixiang, a famous Chinese scholar and connoisseur of cultural relics, who enjoys special allowances from the State Council and is known as the number one player in Beijing.
Mr. Wang's love for fun is definitely not just for fun. He still raises pigeons now. If he is over 60 years old, he still climbs on the roof to play with pigeons.
"Hello, Mr. Wang!" Zhang Junping came forward and bowed to say hello.
"You are Mr. Liu's precious apprentice? Yes, you look talented and energetic!" Wang Laochong nodded and praised Zhang Junping, and then said directly: "Take out the manuscript you studied!"
Zhang Junping glanced at the old lady, saw her nodding, and said politely to Wang Shixiang: "Wait a moment, I will get it for you right now!"
"Old Wang, what manuscript makes you so eager?" Shi Lao asked curiously.
"Do you still remember that incident that caused quite a stir some time ago?"
"Which thing?"
"It's the time when Mr. Liu from the Central Academy of Fine Arts packed up and bought all the antique furniture from all the junkyards in the capital."
"Oh! You're talking about that thing! What's wrong? What's the news again?"
"Old Shi, you only know one thing but not the other. Mr. Liu bought all the ancient furniture as a gift to this young comrade!
The manuscript I'm talking about is this young comrade's manuscript on studying ancient furniture!"
"Oh? There is also such a story, so I am looking forward to those manuscripts!" Shi Lao's curiosity was aroused.
