Chapter 583: She Became Honorary Curator

The murderer confessed to the crime, and the rest was just a matter of procedure. Even though Ling Tian tried his best to defend himself, saying that he had accidentally injured someone, the circumstances were vile and the means were cruel, so he was eventually sentenced to life imprisonment.

The Yushan Sect also promptly announced that Ling Tian was expelled from the sect and all ties with it were severed. The crimes he committed were his personal actions and had nothing to do with the Yushan Sect.

When Zhou Hongmei heard the verdict, she felt mixed emotions, but she also knew that this was the best outcome.

After the matter was settled, Dai Qing chose the night when the yin energy was heavy and sent Zhou Hongmei directly into the gate of reincarnation.

She had just rested at home for two or three days when she received a pager from the Taoist Master Zhen You, asking her to meet him at a teahouse.

Dai Qing arrived as promised, and raised her eyebrows when she saw Taoist Zhen You and Director Meng sitting at the seats.

"You asked me to come here, but do you have something to say?"

There really is a Taoist who laughs loudly.

"The problem with the cultural center has been solved, thanks to Xiaoqing's help. Brother Rende has been looking for an opportunity to thank you, and as the middleman, it is my responsibility to do so. I have taken the initiative to invite you out for a cup of tea, and I hope you will give me some face."

"You are very polite. I am here now, am I not?"

Dai Qing sat down opposite them, and Director Meng personally poured her a cup of tea and placed it in front of her.

"Thank you for your help, Mr. Dai. I didn't know much about folk culture before, and I was prejudiced about some things. I'm sorry. Please don't take me, an outsider, at my own expense."

After this incident, he finally understood.

Ambition does not depend on age, and without wisdom it is useless to live a hundred years.

Hearing Director Meng's sincere tone, Dai Qing glanced at him.

"Director Meng, you are too polite."

"Xiao Qing, the Folk Culture Museum needs young people like you. Can you stay at the museum and help Director Meng improve the folk culture?"

"You have found the wrong person. I am used to being free and I don't like being restricted."

She had not been ready to go in before, and she had not thought about it now.

After hearing this, Director Meng spoke directly.

"Working hours are flexible. You can come and go as you please. There is no restriction."

There was a Taoist sitting next to him, smiling and agreeing,

"Yes, it doesn't matter whether you go to work or not. When there is something to do, you can just come out and deal with it. The rest of the time is free to do as you please."

Seeing their posture, Dai Qing picked up the teacup and took a sip.

"To tell you the truth, although this is my hometown, I will probably settle in the capital and won't be back often."

The two of them were stunned. Director Meng pondered for a moment, as if he had made up his mind, and looked up at her.

"As long as you are willing to join the Folk Culture Museum, it doesn't matter where you live. As long as you can participate in the annual folk culture exchange meeting, it will be fine. Of course, the round-trip travel expenses, food and accommodation will be fully reimbursed."

"Haha... You've seen Brother Ren De's sincerity. Come back once a year. All you need is to leave your name at the Folk Culture Museum."

Some people are trying their best to get in, but Lao Meng can do this, it seems that he is determined to invite people back to the town hall.

After hearing this, Dai Qing fell silent. Once a year, it really is free.

"Don't rush to refuse. Go back and think about it carefully. Then give me your answer. As long as you are willing to stay at the Folk Culture Museum, I will give you the title of honorary curator."

Director Meng looked at Dai Qing with gentle eyes.

"As a talented person in our local area, your participation will definitely add luster to folk culture. If such a talent remains hidden in the city, it will be a huge loss to folk culture."

"That's right. As a child of the Central Plains, I hope you can contribute to the local folk culture. We are all old, and the folk culture needs your generation to carry it on."

Dai Qing: “…”

As for the question of inheritance, she had already thought about it a long time ago. By taking in a young apprentice with whom she had a strong affinity, she could pass on her legacy from generation to generation.

As for spreading folk culture, she really hadn't thought about it. But seeing the eager eyes of the two people, Dai Qing didn't refuse sternly.

After coming out of the teahouse, Dai Qing couldn't help but sigh. All she wanted in her life was to be an excellent fortune teller. After being praised by everyone over the years, she had barely achieved her goal.

As for inheriting folk culture, she feels that she does not have such great ambitions.

For a while afterwards, although Director Meng did not urge her, the Taoist priest appeared in front of her every few days, lobbying and encouraging her again and again, and even pestering her a little.

Dai Qing was helpless about this. She looked at the expectation in the old Taoist's eyes, thought seriously for a few days, and finally picked up the phone to report her attitude to Director Meng.

Agree to stay in the Folk Culture Museum.

As for whether it can be passed on, it depends on God's will.

Upon hearing the news about Dai Qing, Director Meng laughed happily. He entered her personnel file in just one day and even allocated a separate office for her with a sign.

"From now on, you will be the honorary curator of the Folk Culture Museum. No matter when you come or when there are major decisions in the museum, you will have a vote."

There really was a Taoist sitting next to him, stroking his beard with a smile.

"Don't underestimate this, it can be very useful at critical moments. If you find someone violating folk traditions and culture, you can exercise your authority as the curator to discipline them. In short, you are still very useful as the curator."

Listening to the two people's consolation, Dai Qing smiled knowingly. As long as it involved the word reputation, it just sounded good. As for the actual power, there shouldn't be much.

But she doesn't care much about these things and just considers it as a victory for participation.

If I really encounter injustice one day, I will have the position to speak out.

After finishing the work here, Dai Qing and Juanzi's family of three had a casual dinner and then bought tickets back to the capital.

Returning to her own home and looking at the familiar scene, Dai Qing smiled comfortably. From now on, this would be her old house.

Half a month later, He Ning finally returned home with his trophy.

This guy directly qualified for the international competition after the friendly competition. He has been working hard abroad for the past few months. Now he has returned home with honors, and he looks radiant and in high spirits.

To celebrate He Ning winning the international competition trophy, Dai Qing directly took out the purple gold card that Chu Xu gave her and booked a VIP room on the sixth floor.

She booked a private room, and Chu Xu was the first to get the news and showed up on time when the party started.

The usually mysterious and low-key Fifth Master suddenly appeared in the private room. Everyone else was stunned for a moment, then accepted the reality.

Everyone here is an expert in their respective fields. Apart from anything else, each one of them has stronger adaptability than the other.

After the banquet began, Chu Xu glanced at Dai Qing and raised his glass to signal everyone.

"Welcome everyone to my Zijin Pavilion. Xiaoqing's friends are my friends. We can talk about it in the future."
