Faced with that voice, Guan Feng had forgotten his earlier preparations and instinctively said, "Hello, Minister Wang, I..."
Minister Wang spoke in a very kind tone, like a friendly old man next door. He chatted briefly with Guan Feng about everyday matters and said, "Okay, I won't bother you with your grassroots work. You can contact me directly if you need anything in the future. Of course, I might not be able to get through on the phone. If it's not urgent, you can contact Xiao Wu first."
Guan Feng quickly replied, "Yes, Minister Wang."
Minister Wang then handed the phone to Wu Xinglong, who laughed and said, "Captain Guan, the minister is extremely busy. We young people should communicate more."
Guan Feng was somewhat amused and exasperated. Although Wu Xinglong was young, he was still in his thirties. Calling him brother? That was a bit too much, wasn't it? He immediately said, "Hello, Brother Wu..."
The two chatted for a while like brothers.
Wu Xinglong explained the purpose of the call, saying, "Minister Wang just spoke with Director Li of your provincial department, emphasizing two main points. First, if your resume is solid and your skills are up to par, then there's nothing to worry about. Just get it appraised, and you'll pass. Even if you have three or five experts, it still shows you're capable. I heard you earn a hundred million yuan by appraising calligraphy and paintings?

Upon hearing this, Guan Feng immediately explained, "Secretary Wu, let me explain this matter. It's not a problem within the bureau or department. I was just too busy with work and didn't have time to have it appraised. As for the other painting, it was a coincidence. I was out with my girlfriend, who is also a colleague of ours. Her friend happened to be buying a painting, and I took a look at it. I didn't expect it to be an authentic work, let alone worth hundreds of millions. Afterwards, the other party wanted to give me a reward, but I didn't accept a single penny."
Upon hearing this, Wu Xinglong smiled and said, "So it was just a coincidence. That's good! Write down the process of this matter, get a few of the parties involved to sign it, and then submit it to the bureau for safekeeping. I'll discuss this matter with Director Li later."
Guan Feng said, "Okay, okay."
Wu Xinglong added, "The second thing the minister instructed was to confirm that there were no problems with your resume, and then clarify the impact as soon as possible. Don't let it cause a huge uproar and affect your normal work. This incident was really inappropriate! The minister saw your performance at the press conference and also brought the case file of the poisoned beef case, saying that you handled it well and quickly, and your performance at the press conference was also commendable. These reporters just want to create some big news!"
Guan Feng said, "Thank you, Minister Wang, for your concern and care."
Wu Xinglong then added, "..."
