I played the world alone

Chapter 460 Going Home (-in-)

Of course, when Lu Chen talked about his career plan, he was not just fooling around, but he really wanted to do something.

After all, after getting so many antiques into my hands, I will basically only select some more suitable ones for my own flashbacks, and seal the more.

Not useful at all.

I am not short of money, so I won’t sell these things.

Then you have to find a place for them, otherwise it would be too wasteful.

So the way he is currently thinking of is to donate these things to domestic museums or historical research institutes in the form of charity.

The only question that needs to be considered now is how to explain the origin of these things.

And if they appear in China, there will be some doubts on Garnier's side.

For example, linking the identities of the two will have some unfavorable effects on my current peaceful life.

"The matter of handing over these antiques can be put aside for the time being."

Lu Chen planned to wait until these minor problems were solved before giving the things away, which could be regarded as a small contribution that he could make.

In addition to foreign antiques, his original intention was to take this opportunity to study domestic cultural relics and history, so as not to be blind in the future and still unable to recognize anything after getting the treasure.

Of course, if given the opportunity, I would also like to join some cultural relics protection work as a volunteer.

……

"Nice to meet you, Mr. Lu Chen, right? I've heard your name from Mr. Zhou and know that you are a very brave and socially responsible person, so I hope our cooperation can be better in the future. development of."

Sitting across from the desk was an elegant lady in her 50s. There were already a few strands of white hair on her temples, and there were some wrinkles at the corners of her smiling eyes, but she gave people a good feeling. She looked like she was knowledgeable. A learned person.

Of course this is indeed the case.

Because this person is a professor in the archeology department of a well-known university, his surname is Chen, and he is well-known in the circle.

This time it was also because Zhou Manyin had a friend who happened to be a student taught by him, so he found time to get to know him this time.

After all, if you want to engage in this industry in the future, knowing so many industry masters is definitely the right choice. At most, you have to pay some money and favors.

It's better than suffering a dumb loss in the future.

"Please give me more advice in the future." Lu Chen said politely.

"No, I need to trouble you to help more in the future." Professor Chen smiled and shook his head, "After all, the majors are limited, and the employment of students is still a problem. If there are responsible and capable people like you who are willing to help , I’m so happy that I can’t even get enough of it.”

After all, archeology is a rather unpopular profession, and it is because of the recent emergence of immortal cultivators that the country has begun to pay attention to this aspect.

Experts and scholars began to be called together to try to unearth some extraordinary secrets from past history. As a result, a wave of archaeological craze arose, and many companies began to recruit people with high salaries, which gave this profession a little bit of glory. improvement.

In the past, it was not always possible to recruit all the people in a major, and it might even result in a class with only a few people and more teachers than students.

Although the current situation has improved, it is not very good.

For example, it is not unreasonable for students under Professor Chen to say that they will be unemployed after graduation.

Naturally, she also wanted to find some way out for the students.

The guy in front of me looks stupid at first glance and has a lot of money, so he is a good choice!

Of course, Lu Chen couldn't read the other person's mind to know how he was evaluated in the other person's eyes, but he could probably guess something by looking at the other person's eye movements.

But this was exactly the effect he wanted.

This is the kind of role he wants to play. It's best not to attract too many people's attention and just learn slowly.

After the contract was signed, the smiles on both sides became much more sincere.

He directly entrusted a special person to set up a foundation specifically to fund the other party's cultural relics protection activities.

Zhou Manyin's small treasury was not used for the investment. The initial start-up capital was one million. He invested it in the form of other vests. The source can guarantee that there will be no problems.

And we promise that there will be more capital investment in the future!

With real money and silver, Professor Chen seemed to truly believe that the person in front of him really wanted to do practical things sincerely, rather than doing flashy things in the name of protecting cultural relics.

"By the way, Mr. Lu, there happens to be a newly discovered ancient tomb in the suburbs nearby. Are you interested in going to see the scene together?"

Lu Chen raised his eyebrows slightly and said with a smile, "I'm very happy."

……

I arrived at the archaeological site by car and found that the environment here seemed different from what I imagined.

"This is a very small tomb. According to the cultural relics that have been unearthed so far, it should be the tomb of a low-ranking official from the Qing Dynasty. He was not rich during his lifetime, but he should be a cultural person. There are still some things left in the tomb. something……"

"At first, it was a nearby resident who discovered this place. They wanted to dig a cellar here to hide things, and they happened to find the bricks here..."

Professor Chen explained to him how he found this place, and there was a warning tape surrounding it, and there were some small excavators that were temporarily transferred from the construction site.

Less than half of the on-site tomb has been dug, and the overall appearance of the tomb is exposed underneath.

It can only be said that it is quite crude, and it has long been damaged due to the sun and rain, so the coffin is still intact and will not be exposed in the wilderness.

In addition to the staff of the local county cultural relics bureau, there were also students of Professor Chen who were busy at the scene. They were also here to practice. After all, it was not an important cultural relic.

It happened that Professor Chen was taking him here to watch.

Suddenly there was a surprised shout from the front: "Boss, come and see what this is!"

Professor Chen apologetically could only interrupt the introduction process and hurriedly walked to the students who were cleaning the antiquities dug out from the tomb.

Lu Chen had already sensed what it was, and knew that it should be an object symbolizing the identity of the owner of the tomb, so he did not go over to take a look. Instead, he walked around by himself, and finally his eyes fell on the coffin.

The coffin will eventually be lifted out completely, the coffin will be opened outside, and the conditions inside the coffin will be checked.

It seems that this tomb is quite lucky and has not been visited by thieves.

After a while, Professor Chen came back. Lu Chen looked at the coffin and asked casually: "Professor, do you think there will be zombies in there that won't rot? It's like in Uncle Ying's movie."

"Zombies?"

Professor Chen didn't expect this person to think so wildly, and couldn't help but shake his head in amusement.

"How is this possible? I have been conducting archeology for decades, and I have never seen or even heard of anything like this." Lu Chen also knew that his question was a bit nonsensical, and nodded: "Yes, it's me. It’s so weird to think about.”

"It's normal. After all, it is difficult for ordinary people to come into contact with such ancient tombs. The first thing they should think of is those movies and TV series. They may also be influenced by those films and TV shows about tomb robbing. It is inevitable that they will have some associations." Professor Chen laughed.

"But in the future, we will get used to it as we come into contact with it more. This kind of corpse is no different to us than a ball of rotten pork. Students like me were scared to death before, but now they don't change their expressions."

Lu Chen smiled and nodded, his eyes scanning the coffin, but he was deep in thought.

His consciousness swept over it, and he naturally knew that there were only withered bones in the coffin and no zombies.

But the scene before him provided him with some subtle inspiration.

……

He did not stay at the archaeological site for long and quickly returned to the city.

When Zhou Manyin had dinner with him, he curiously asked what his first impression was.

"Pretty good." Lu Chen nodded and replied, "Professor Chen taught me a lot and I benefited a lot."

"That's good." Zhou Manyin breathed a sigh of relief.

"I heard that Professor Chen is quite strict on professional matters, so I'm worried about what problems may arise. But...do you really not need my investment?"

She still has some ideas.

After all, it is my boyfriend's business, and I want to help out.

"No, you really don't have to worry about money." Lu Chen reached out and held her hand, "Compared to this, when I came back, Professor Chen said that he would go out in two days to participate in the official excavation of a newly discovered large-scale ancient tomb. Please invite me to come with you to observe the event.”

"You should adjust your itinerary and spare a few days. How about going with me?"

Zhou Manyin nodded without thinking: "Okay, let's just treat it as a trip."

Lu Chen coughed lightly and did not forget to remind him: "By the way, that's my hometown, so when I go back this time, how about I come with me to visit my home?"

"Just two days ago, my parents called me again to urge me to go on a blind date. They didn't believe that I could find a wife as beautiful and capable as you. I can't bring this home to them!"

Zhou Manyin was stunned, his eyes opened slightly, and his face immediately turned red, as beautiful as the sunset.

"go home?!"

Of course she knew what he meant. It couldn't be the small house the other party rented outside, but the other party's real hometown!

Maybe he’ll even meet his elders and relatives!

When she thought of that scene, she couldn't help but be so nervous that her palms started to sweat. She felt several times more nervous than the first time she discussed business alone!

"I...can I?"

She suddenly felt uneasy and even a little unsure.

After all, my age is indeed at a disadvantage compared to those young and energetic little girls.

Although my appearance is still beautiful enough in the eyes of others, with almost no traces of time, the passage of time cannot be denied because of this.

She only resented how she had met him so late and missed her youthful years so long ago.

"Who else can do it besides you?" Lu Chen squeezed her silky palm and comforted her.

In short, this matter is finally settled.

Now that I have more time, I can indeed go back and visit my parents.

By the way, training plans for them can also be put on the agenda.

But even though he said it so easily, Lu Chen himself was actually a little nervous.

After all, it was the first time I took my girlfriend back to my hometown.

In order to prepare for this meeting, Zhou Manyin specially prepared many gifts, and also asked her best friends to help with many reference points for the outfit, and even changed her hairstyle.

Her whole temperament suddenly changed from the cold female CEO to the kind and sweet girl next door type.

However, her beauty remains undiminished, and to some extent, she is more in line with the traditional elders' definition of a "good wife".

The inter-provincial expressway home took about five hours, and Lu Chen drove the entire journey. After all, it was inconvenient to take the train with such a big bag.

In order to give my parents a surprise, I drove directly to the downstairs of the residential building without informing them in advance.

It was evening at this moment, and there was a simple playground underneath this old building. There were old men playing chess and Go, children chasing each other, and some aunts sitting on small benches brought from home to gather. Chatting together.

The content of the chat was nothing more than the various quarrels between the parents, what happened to so and so's family, whose children were promising and made a lot of money, who drove a luxury car last time, whose older children were unfilial and unmarried, etc.

To be honest, Lu Chen's biggest headache when he was a child was these aunts. Every time he failed in an exam and came home, they would always ask a few more questions and shout so loudly that they wished the whole world knew about it.

Now even though his strength has become inhuman, he still can't get rid of this shadow.

After parking the car, Lu Chen just got out of the car and was about to move things when a nice old lady walked up and took a closer look.

Although I don’t know how much the car costs, at least I still recognize the brand.

Porsche!

It must be a luxury car!

I was still wondering which promising kid came back to visit relatives, whether it was Xiao Cheng who joined a big factory and worked overtime every day, or whether it was Xiao Liu who went to start a business abroad and hasn't returned yet...

But when he saw Lu Chen, he couldn't help but be stunned.

"Ouch, isn't this Xiao Lu!" Auntie shouted, immediately attracting everyone else's attention.

Suddenly, almost all the adults who were still chatting gathered around and looked at it carefully as if they were looking at something new.

"The last time we met was during the Chinese New Year last year. I haven't been back for so long. Hey, he has become even more handsome..."

"Xiao Lu, you are so prosperous now that you can even afford this car! Even a second-hand car would cost hundreds of thousands. It looks quite new..."

"Do you have a partner? Would you like aunt to introduce you to one? I know a niece who is very good-looking and is a civil servant..."

Grandpas and aunts, you talk to me, but most people really can't handle this.

It just so happens that we are all neighbors. We have known each other since childhood and are quite familiar with each other. In the past, we would help each other in difficult times. Real distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors, so it is not easy to scold others with a cold face.

Lu Chen had to use a bit of magic power to drown out their voices.

"Thank you elders for your kindness, but I am bringing my girlfriend back to see my parents this time."

With that said, the passenger door slowly opened, and the somewhat reserved Zhou Manyin slowly got out of the car, took a deep breath to relieve the tension in his heart, and showed a somewhat stiff smile.

Fortunately, Lu Chen held her hand in time, which made her feel a lot more at ease.
