Nanqu's fans started to worry after seeing these comments.
However, in order to protect Nanqu, they subconsciously didn't say it in the live stream, but whispered about it in their small group:
"Did you see what people were saying in the comments? This was definitely orchestrated by Sister Qu. If this artifact is fake, wouldn't Sister Qu be the one to blame?"
"Exactly. It's said to be an important national cultural relic. What if Sister Qu is mistaken? This is no small matter."
"In such a short time, Sister Qu definitely can't find someone else to authenticate it. If it's really fake, wouldn't that make her a laughing stock?"
"I'm not afraid of making a fool of myself, what I'm afraid of is the huge impact this will have on Sister Qu. Occupying public resources can be a big or small matter, but if someone wants to harm Sister Qu, she may never be able to get back on her feet for the rest of her life."
"What should we do? What should we do? Do you have any ideas to help Sister Qu?"
"Waaaaah, what should I do if I'm too scared to watch?"
"Sigh, Xiao Qu is still too young."
"I think you're worrying a bit too much. When has Sister Qu ever done anything that's not prudent?"
"Exactly! Every time Sister Qu does something, it's a revelation! Your worries are unnecessary."
The moment Dongfang Hui saw the comments, he realized he might have gotten a little too excited and started to feel scared: "Sister Qu, um, are you sure the stuff is okay?"
Nan Qu was both amused and exasperated by Dongfang Hui's address: "Director Hui, it's not that serious."
Dongfang Hui replied, "Of course not. If this were true, I wouldn't just call you 'sister,' I'd call you 'great-aunt.' Would I call you 'great-aunt'?"
Nan Qu remained silent: "I've checked the items, there's absolutely no problem with them, you can rest assured about this matter. In short, now that I've made the connection, I won't let this go awry."
Seeing Nan Qu like this, Dongfang Hui actually calmed down.
Less than an hour later, Su Ruoyan and Jiao Yuheng's car reappeared at the farm.
Unlike last time when they didn't appear in front of the cameras, this time they entered the farm under the watchful eyes of all the cameras.
Jiao Yuheng got out of the car and went straight to Nanqu.
Is what you said on the phone true?
Nan Qu smiled and said, "The old man is over at the warehouse right now. Shall we go take a look?"
Jiao Yuheng hurriedly said, "Okay, okay, please introduce me to someone."
Nan Qu smiled and said, "I think Ruoyan already mentioned it to you on the phone just now. She wants to return the treasure to the old man and her late mother. And this treasure is extraordinary. Our director has also generously given today's time to this ceremony. This is our director, Mr. Dongfang Hui, who is also the person in charge of this ceremony."
Dongfang Hui hurried over and said, "Hello, my name is Dongfang Hui. Please feel free to ask me anything."
Jiao Yuheng knew that Nan Qu knew how to behave. She was going to stay in the production team for another month, so naturally she had to curry favor with the director to make things easier for her in the future: "Hello, I'm not ordering you around, but if there's anything you need my help with, Comrade Dongfang, just let me know."
Dongfang Hui hurriedly replied, "Yes, yes, Minister Jiao, according to the plan, we will hold the item return ceremony in ten minutes. Because of the time constraints, we have already discussed with the elderly people at the farm and decided to hold it in the warehouse. The whole process is that the elderly people will take out the treasures and hand them to you, and then you will open them with your own hands, so that all the viewers in the live broadcast room can witness the arrival of the moment when the treasures are returned."
Jiao Yuheng nodded in agreement: "Because this matter was too rushed, there should have been documents and signatures for the return of the object. These were not prepared when we came, and I really feel sorry for the old gentleman."
Just then, Su Ruoyan took out a tablet and said, "The proper ceremony can't be mentioned. We can make up the paper documents later, but we can have the electronic documents now."
Jiao Yuheng couldn't help but praise Su Ruoyan when he saw where she got the tablet: "This young man is quick-witted; he solved a big problem in no time."
After the paperwork was settled, Jiao Yuheng suddenly remembered something and asked his assistant to take a box from the trunk. Inside the box were writing brushes, ink, paper, inkstones, a seal, and a blank certificate of honor.
Jiao Yuheng said, "If the cultural relics mentioned on the phone are real, then this old man deserves this honor."
Su Ruoyan's lips twitched involuntarily. Others might not know, but he did. This certificate was originally intended for Nan Qu and was prepared in advance to win people's hearts.
Jiao Yuheng naturally understood Nan Qu's purpose in coming here and was informed that he should fully cooperate with her work.
They probably knew that Southern Opera wasn't part of the official establishment, so they naturally wanted to take measures to win people over. Unexpectedly, they used it at this crucial moment.
Dongfang Hui thought this was specially prepared by Jiao Yuheng, and became even more excited. The awarding of honorary certificates made the whole ceremony more formal.
At this moment, there were all sorts of comments in the live broadcast room. After seeing the black car drive in and then seeing Jiao Yuheng and his group, everyone quickly realized who Jiao Yuheng was.
I also realized that this was not a hoax.
The previous claims that the production team deliberately created public opinion have disappeared, and the only remaining question is the authenticity of the treasure.
After Jiao Yuheng met the elderly man and the two got to know each other initially, the ceremony for the return of the cultural relics officially began. This event could be used as a typical publicity example, so not only were the program crew's cameras filming, but even the staff of the embassy next door took out their cameras and kept taking pictures.
In front of everyone, the old man took the package he had just put back out once again.
On camera, the old man, carrying the worn-out package, walked step by step to the front of the tractor. Just when everyone thought the old man would hand over the artifact to Jiao Yuheng, unexpectedly, the old man walked straight to the Nanqu Opera troupe standing below the stage with the artifact.
The sudden turn of events startled the director, but Jiao Yuheng, who was standing there and had originally planned to receive the treasure directly from the old man, remained calm.
Ignoring the director's instructions, the old man walked up to Nan Qu and said to the camera, "She is my benefactor. I trust her more than anyone else. This thing is something my mother never forgot, even after she died. I hope it can find a good home."
Looking into the old woman's determined eyes, Nan Qu suddenly understood what she meant: she hoped that even after the treasure returned to China, she would still protect it with all her heart.
Nan Qu understood that if she accepted it, it would be a lifelong commitment for her. However, looking at the old man's expectant eyes, Nan Qu couldn't refuse.
She extended both hands and respectfully accepted the box.
Seeing Nanqu like this, the old man finally smiled happily.
