Assistant Xiao Zhang was sweating profusely and kept talking on his cell phone.
Zhang Heng walked out of the press conference venue and asked, "Have we been contacted?"
Xiao Zhang's face was full of anxiety: "Not yet, I have been shutting down my phone and been calling all morning."
Zhang Heng said in a deep voice: "Go to his house, Xiao Zhang."
"Yes, I'll go right away."
Xiao Zhang came out of the conference room on the second floor of Feimei Building, drove straight to Lin Yuan's home.
At this time, Lin Yuan had just gotten up. Lin's mother knocked on Lin Yuan's bedroom door and shouted: "Son, get up soon. What time is it?"
Lin Yuan yawned, sat up, and turned around to see that Lin's father was no longer in bed.
He got out of bed, stretched out, and went out of the bedroom. Luo Shuyan and Lin's father were already eating at the dining room table, and Lin's mother came out of the kitchen with soy milk.
"Good morning!" Lin Yuan greeted.
"Go and wash up and eat."
After washing up and having breakfast, the family sat in the living room.
Mother Lin asked: "I heard your dad said you resigned."
"Well, I resigned."
"You opened a company with your friends?"
"yes!"
"Where do you get the money? Even the salary you work for is not enough to cover your daily expenses."
"I earned some money by doing part-time jobs in my spare time and saved it."
Lin's mother was surprised and said: "How come I didn't know you were working part-time? If you don't have enough money, tell me, don't let your body wear out your son."
"It's over now, Mom, don't worry about me anymore."
"What part-time job are you doing?"
Lin Yuan's mind started racing and he was about to make up a lie when there was a rapid knock on the door.
Luo Shuyan was close to the door, so she went to open it.
Zhang Heng's assistant Xiao Zhang was stunned when he saw Luo Shuyan and asked, "Excuse me, is this Lin Yuan's home?"
Luo Shuyan turned around and shouted to Lin Yuan: "Brother, I'm looking for you."
Lin Yuan came over and saw Xiao Zhang. He didn't remember who it was for a while and asked, "Who are you?"
Xiao Zhang said: "I am Director Zhang's assistant. I couldn't get through when I called you, so I had to come to you."
"Director Zhang? Oh, Director Zhang from the Cultural Affairs Bureau, right? What's going on?"
Xiao Zhang was very surprised and said: "Hey, have you forgotten? You can forget such a big thing. Today is a press conference."
Lin Yuan suddenly remembered, slapped his forehead and said: "Oh, I'm sorry, I almost forgot. I'm sorry, my phone is always turned off, and there are always harassing calls. Please wait for me, I'll go change clothes."
Just come out."
"Mr. Lin, please wear formal clothes. If you don't have one, I can prepare it for you."
"I know, wait a moment."
Lin Yuan returned to the bedroom to change clothes. Lin's father was very curious after hearing their conversation, so he walked over and asked, "What press conference?"
Xiao Zhang said: "The cultural relics donated by Mr. Lin to the Cultural Relics Bureau have all been certified as authentic. In order to commend Mr. Lin for this noble behavior, a press conference was held to commend Mr. Lin."
Father Lin nodded and said, "Oh, that's right."
Xiao Zhang asked: "Who are you?"
"I am Lin Yuan's father."
"Oh, hello, hello, you have taught a good son, uncle."
Father Lin smiled proudly and said: "It's not bad, this kid will follow me."
At this time, Lin Yuan came out of the bedroom wearing a formal suit and asked: "How was it?"
Xiao Zhang looked at it and said, "Okay, come with me quickly. Director Zhang is already angry."
Lin Yuan said to Lin's parents: "Mom and dad, I'm going to go first and I'll be back in the evening."
Lin Yuan and Xiao Zhang went out. Xiao Zhang asked him not to drive, so he just took his car. The two drove straight to Feimei Building, but encountered a traffic jam on the way.
Lin Yuan asked: "Isn't it just starting in the afternoon? Why are you in such a hurry?"
Xiao Zhang said: "It starts in the afternoon, but there is still a lot of preparation work before starting."
"What else can I do?"
"Of course, when you are going to speak, why don't you familiarize yourself with the familiar words in advance? You can't read the manuscript with you when you speak. I originally wanted to send you an electronic copy, but I couldn't contact you, so I just put it in
You pick it up in advance."
"Oh, there are also words? Can't I improvise?"
"Of course not. How can you improvise at a press conference? If you say something that shouldn't be said, and the reporter writes something random, something might happen."
"Fine."
Half an hour later, they arrived at the Feimei Building, drove to the back parking lot of the building, and entered through the back door.
Arriving at the conference room on the second floor, where the press conference was held, Xiao Zhang brought Lin Yuan to Zhang Heng.
Zhang Heng looked serious and said: "What's going on with you kid? Why can't you make calls on your phone?"
Lin Yuan quickly apologized: "I'm really sorry. It was all caused by that hot search. My phone was full of calls, so I just turned it off."
"Stop talking now, hurry up and memorize the words. There are less than three hours left, so hurry up and memorize all the words of the speech."
Xiao Zhang handed Lin Yuan two printed papers with speeches on them.
Zhang Heng said: "You go to the back to memorize the lyrics first. I'll ask Xiao Zhang to call you when the front is ready."
Lin Yuan came to an empty room in the conference room. Xiao Zhang came in with a bottle of water and handed it to Lin Yuan. He urged Lin Yuan to memorize his speech quickly and left after delivering the water.
Lin Yuan took a rough look at the speeches. They were basically just formal remarks, thanking this and thanking that. Lin Yuan was very disgusted with such things. He remembered that when he was in college, as the chairman of the student union, he always had to prepare something in advance.
He wanted to read good manuscripts, but such formal things made him physically and mentally exhausted.
After roughly scanning his speech, he put down the two pieces of paper and simply leaned on the sofa with his eyes closed to relax.
Xiao Zhang came in and took a look in the middle, and saw Lin Yuan sleeping, so he quickly woke him up to memorize the lyrics. Lin Yuan pretended to look at it twice, and when Xiao Zhang left, he put the lyrics down again and continued to close his eyes and meditate.
Half an hour before the press conference, Xiao Zhang came in again and saw that Lin Yuan had not memorized the words, so he angrily woke Lin Yuan up.
"Mr. Lin, what are you doing? Have you memorized all the words?"
Lin Yuan stretched, nodded and said, "I've finished carrying it."
"Really or not, you memorized it in such a short time?" Xiao Zhang questioned.
Lin Yuandao: "I memorized too many words like this when I was in college. The basic sentences are all the same, so it's not difficult to memorize them. Don't worry."
"Okay, then come out with me. The press conference is about to begin, and reporters are starting to enter."
Xiao Zhang took Lin Yuan to the side door of the conference room. At the door, Zhang Heng and Deputy Director Huang were there, as well as two old men. Lin Yuan looked familiar. They were present at the last meeting at the Cultural Relics Bureau.
Someone who knows.
Seeing Deputy Director Huang, Lin Yuan came over to say hello: "Deputy Director Huang, hello."
Deputy Director Huang stretched out his hand to shake Lin Yuan's hand and said with a smile: "Lin Yuan, are you nervous?"
Lin Yuandao: "Don't be nervous, don't be nervous."
"Okay, young man is really calm, that's good!" Deputy Director Huang praised.
Lin Yuan thought to himself: "Fortunately, I have been the president of the student union for a year. This kind of scene has long been commonplace. It would be a lie to say that I am not nervous. It is not to the point of showing timidity."
Lin Yuan took a deep breath and stood next to Zhang Heng.
Zhang Heng whispered: "Have you memorized all the words?"
"I've memorized it, don't worry."
"The reporters in the audience will ask a lot of questions in a while. If you can answer them, answer them. If you can't answer them, just wink at me and I will answer them for you. Remember?"
Lin Yuan nodded and said, "Yes, I remember."
At this time, reporters began to enter. In less than ten minutes, the entire reporter area was filled with reporters. There were more than ten cameras in the last row. There were more than 30 reporters sitting under the stage, as well as foreign reporters.
in.
Zhang Hengdao: "This press conference has invited not only domestic reporters, but also foreign media reporters."
"Someone from abroad? Why should we invite someone from abroad?"
Zhang Hengdao: "Think about it, what a great opportunity this is to showcase our national treasures and cultural relics to foreign countries."
"Oh, so that's it." Lin Yuan thought to himself, just to show off.
After a while, Xiao Zhang ran over and said to Deputy Director Huang and others: "Boss leaders, are you ready? The press conference is about to start. We are all ready."
Deputy Director Huang said: "Okay, let's get started."
Xiao Zhang ran to inform the host. The host walked onto the stage, turned on the microphone in front of the podium, and said: "Dear domestic and foreign journalists, please be quiet. The press conference is about to begin. Now let us invite all the leaders to come to the stage. First of all, let us welcome
Huang Yan, Deputy Director of the State Administration of Cultural Heritage, Zhang Heng, Director of the Municipal Cultural Relics Bureau, the expert team of the State Administration of Cultural Heritage, Professors Chen Lan, Professor Fang Hai, Professor Dong Guofei, and Lin Yuan, the cultural relics donor.”
Lin Yuan walked at the end and followed the leader onto the stage. Lin Yuan was arranged to sit between Deputy Director Huang and Director Zhang.
After everyone was seated, the host said: "In addition to a public display and explanation of the four cultural relics in this press conference, the donor Mr. Lin Yuan will also be commended. The press conference will be carried out below.
The first item of the meeting is to invite Director Zhang Heng of the Municipal Cultural Relics Bureau to display and explain the four cultural relics, and welcome them with applause."
