"How about we have dinner together today?" Lan Xiaolan said this with difficulty.
"Okay, I'll pick you up at noon, okay? I'll book a restaurant now and take you out for some delicious food."
"I'll spend the evening with you." Cai Shihang was very happy that he finally made an appointment with his girlfriend whom he hadn't seen for a long time.
After all, after eating too much wild game and delicacies outside, I occasionally want to go home and eat some simple meals.
Today happens to be the Mid-Autumn Festival, and she happens to be on holiday. Cai Shihang still wants to meet his real girlfriend.
If the atmosphere is right, maybe something good will happen between the two of them tonight, right?
Although Lan Xiaolan was not very pretty or sexy to Cai Shihang, she was still his girlfriend after all, and yet he had never touched her once.
It’s like not being able to eat cooked food, and always feeling very greedy.
"Sure. I have a little finishing touches right now, but I'll be done with them by morning. I'll text you when I'm done."
Lan Xiaolan thought that there was only one press conference this morning, which would not last too long, and there would be nothing to do after it, so it would be okay to meet with Cai Shihang.
After all, he is still her boyfriend.
Then she looked at Ren Tingxi again, always feeling that she had done something wrong and felt very sorry for Cai Shihang.
Ren Tingxi's mood had not been particularly good since the beginning, and now when he heard Cai Shihang calling Lan Xiaolan, he almost erupted like a volcano.
He recalled the day when he met Cai Shihang in the private club, and the colorful photos and videos he sent him.
He became even angrier!
Although Lan Xiaolan has not yet agreed to reconcile with him, he absolutely cannot let someone like Cai Shihang stay with Lan Xiaolan and disgust her.
The atmosphere in the car was not very good to begin with, and now it has dropped to minus 30 degrees Celsius.
When they arrived at the press conference, Lan Xiaolan quickly got out of the car and ran away because she didn't want to see the scene of the Ren Tingxi volcano erupting.
After Lan Xiaolan left, Ren Tingxi called Cai Shihang...
There were a lot of media reporters at the press conference, and of course many people from all walks of life were there to listen.
They were very curious about the ancient tomb, and of course they were also very concerned about the cross-river bridge.
The leaders of the municipal party committee spoke one after another and expressed their condolences to the workers at the construction site and all the staff of the institute.
Then Professor Bai and Ren Tingxi gave a non-official account of the current situation of the ancient tomb and the bridge.
The reporters and media asked questions one by one. Ren Tingxi and Lan Xiaolan were well prepared and answered them fluently. The entire press conference went quite smoothly.
Finally, a well-known online blogger in the mass media raised his hand and asked Lan Xiaolan a question.
"Hello, Assistant Lan. I'd like to ask you a question. It seems that this ancient tomb hasn't yielded many artifacts, and it doesn't belong to any important king or marquis. So, isn't it a bit of a waste of resources and money for the government to expend so much effort and manpower on excavating the tomb?"
This question is too tricky and is not included in the manuscript provided by Ren Tingxi.
Nowadays, some internet bloggers ask any questions in order to attract public attention.
Moreover, this question specifically asked Lan Xiaolan to answer it because she was the youngest here and he wanted to make things difficult for her so that he could have a manuscript to write when he returned.
"Thank you for your question." Lan Xiaolan remained confident and smiled.
"This comes from an ancient tomb that's over 2,000 years old. I believe every unearthed artifact has its own unique value."
"Every cultural relic is a witness to history. It clearly records the entire process of our human society's development."
"It gives us an honest picture of the political, economic and cultural conditions of that period."
"Through the study of these cultural relics, we can clearly understand the historical events, figures, social systems, etc. of the time, so that we can better understand and pass on history."
"This ancient tomb complex also brings us this kind of historical value. It truly tells us the fate of a foolish ruler."
"History silently warns us that even if a country has a long history, vast territory, abundant resources, and abundant wealth, if its ruler is not honest and upright, but is greedy and treats the people as playthings, then this country will decline."
"For a country to maintain long-term stability, in addition to strong economic and military power, it also requires a clean, honest, open-minded and wise government to govern the country. Only in this way can the people live and work in peace and contentment, society be harmonious and stable, and the country prosper."
Lan Xiaolan calmly answered the reporter's questions, and everyone in the audience stood up and applauded warmly.
Everyone looked at this inconspicuous young girl with admiration.
Ren Tingxi stood in front of the table, farthest away from Lan Xiaolan, clapping and looking at her affectionately. In addition to admiration, he also felt a bit of relief and pride.
I feel happy that she was able to choose something that she thought was meaningful so resolutely.
I am proud to have such an excellent and outstanding woman.
After the press conference, Professor Bai walked towards Lan Xiaolan with a smile: "You spoke very well at today's press conference."
"Thank you for the compliment, Professor. You are a great teacher."
Professor Bai touched her head and suddenly felt that his student had really grown up a lot.
In the past, when she first followed behind him and was a postgraduate student, she was still very clumsy. Now, Lan Xiaolan can stand on her own.
"Haha, you little girl, have you learned to flatter?"
Then Professor Bai pulled out a document from behind him and said, "Since you're such a good flatterer, I'll give you a gift. It's a big gift, take a closer look."
"Oh?" Lan Xiaolan opened the file inside curiously.
"Oh my God! This is..."
Professor Bai nodded affirmatively. Lan Xiaolan looked at the information in the document carefully, feeling curious and excited.
"This is a happy event, but it's also a difficult one. You'd better go back and talk to your father about it."
"Without your father's signed consent, I won't let you go. After all, this is a dangerous and difficult place."
Professor Bai is very familiar with Lan Xiaolan's family situation. Her mother died when she was young, and she depended on her father for everything.
Professor Bai and Lan Xiaolan's father Lan Tian are good friends, so although he agreed to let Lan Xiaolan do this, it is indeed a very dangerous thing for a girl.
This is a big deal, and it may even be life-threatening. Without Lan Tian's consent, he would never let Lan Xiaolan take the risk.
After all, this old friend of his, who is over fifty years old, has lived a carefree life, and the only thing he can't let go of is his precious daughter.
"Thank you, Professor. Thank you so much. I'll definitely talk to Dad about this when I get home."
