50s: Starting with a storage ring

Chapter 118: Slippery
He knew that research curator was a position only available to the highest-level cultural relics experts, and Dean Wu had invested a lot of money in it.

He vaguely remembered that this kind of expert position roughly corresponded to the level of senior professional, which was professional and technical level one to four.

He is only level 20 now. When he goes back to work, he will probably be promoted to level 19 (deputy section chief). His basic monthly salary is 80 yuan (actual salary in Category 6 areas is 94.4).

What does this mean? Even if calculated based on the fourth level of professional and technical skills, the basic monthly salary is 207 yuan, which corresponds to the 10th level of his current salary standard.

As soon as he gets this notebook, he will become a powerful cadre.

这时候，7到13级每月补贴鲜肉2斤、鸡蛋2斤、白糖2斤和甲级香烟一条，组织人员减半。

But would he dare to take it? Wouldn't it be hot for a young man like him to hold such a senior certificate?
Who knows how many people will be dissatisfied and want to come and judge him. If he takes it, there will be endless troubles.

Sun Zhiwei smiled and pushed the documents back from the table.

"That's a really nice offer, but unfortunately I'm young and inexperienced, so I can't really take advantage of it. I'm really sorry to have sent you on this wasted trip."

The young staff member next to him said angrily, "How can you be so ungrateful? You can't even look down on such a high salary?"

"Xiao Gao, shut up. Sorry, young people don't understand anything."

"It's okay, I'm young too."

Wu Zhongchao was helpless to see that he was unresponsive and didn't get angry even when he was scolded. It felt like he was dealing with an old sly guy in youthful attire, completely ruthless.

Now he was more and more certain that the person in front of him was the one that Mr. Ma had entrusted to him before his death.

"Mr. Sun, you may not know that Mr. Ma is actually my teacher. Before he died, he entrusted such a large museum to me. How could I not do my best?"

"And I never doubt what Mr. Ma says. So, I never doubt your ability, no matter how young you look."

"You may not know this, but since I took over, I've done some statistics. The museum still has hundreds of thousands of cultural relics that have yet to be appraised, and the specific origins of thousands of national treasures are unknown."

"I sincerely invite you to help me. If you are busy with work, you can come part-time."

After hearing this, Sun Zhiwei had already seen the other party's sincerity. Since he was introduced by an acquaintance, it would not be good to ignore him completely.

He frowned and hesitated for a while before saying, "Since you've said this, I'll tell you what I think."

"I'm young now, and identification is just a hobby. You're willing to trust me, but what about others?"

"When I come up with a result, if you don't believe it, and a few people come along looking to slap me in the face or get promoted, it's going to be really ugly."

"I think it's better to leave it this way. I don't want you to give me any high-level contract or salary. We can just be friends and discuss this with each other."

"If you have anything you're unsure about, you can bring it to me. I can only say a few words casually. Believe it or not, you can't bring the same thing to me a second time."

"You can only record what I said yourself. I won't give you a single word or piece of paper. You don't have to record my name on your side."

"That's what I think. If you're willing, then we can just be friends. If you're not willing, that's fine too. We're just casual acquaintances, and passing by is like smoke."

Sun Zhiwei's foolproof method has blocked all the loopholes. It can be said that even if there are any problems in the future, the other party will not be able to find any fault with him.

He does not accept any salary, so he does not have any responsibilities to bear. He is strong because he has no desires.

When Wu Zhongchao heard this proposal, he was also stunned. The other party would rather work for nothing than become a research librarian.

Is the position of research librarian so hot that the other party is avoiding it?
Seeing that Sun Zhiwei was determined and unwilling to take the position, he had no choice but to agree. Otherwise, what would he do? Such a great expert would be wasted. Impossible. "Mr. Sun, this is really..."

"Ah~ Then I'll be leaving it to you from now on, sir. I have some items that are difficult to identify, so I'll have someone bring them over for you to take a look at."

"Not really, not really. We're just exchanging ideas. I'm not an expert, and I don't have any certifications. I'll just talk about it, and you can just listen."

"You're being modest. However, it won't be me who comes over in the future. You should at least have a name for me."

"Title? Aren't the people who do appraisals over there called researchers? I'm not a staff member, so just have them call me 'Researcher No. 0'."

"But I don't get paid, and you don't have to register my information. You can write 'for reference only' on everything I say."

Seeing how cautious he was, Dean Wu was helpless: "Okay, let's do as you say."

"I will assign someone to contact you from now on. Next time I will bring someone over to identify you."

Originally, the young man he brought with him was the most suitable candidate, and he was also planning to train him.

As a result, seeing that he was so impatient today and interrupted him, almost offending Mr. Sun, he could only let it go and find someone else when he returned.

"Yeah." Sun Zhiwei didn't say anything else, but picked up the tea bowl and took a sip.

Seeing him serving tea to the guests, Dean Wu stood up to say goodbye, and Sun Zhiwei followed suit.

"Mr. Sun, you don't have to see me off. We'll go back directly."

Sun Zhiwei thought to himself, I didn’t plan to send you off, but I’m going to close the door.

Seeing that the other party had misunderstood, he couldn't say anything. He could only nod and smile as he sent them to the gate.

After the two of them left and he closed the door, he suddenly remembered that he had been talking for a long time and was thirsty, so he took a sip of tea. Did the other party think that he was serving tea to see them off?
"Hey, these old-fashioned people just have a lot of rules." He couldn't help but shake his head.

Next time someone comes over, he plans to use the enamel teacup to make tea instead of using a teapot or teacup. Otherwise, he will have to think three times before drinking a sip of water.

On the other side, after returning to the museum, Director Wu went directly to find Secretary Lan from the museum's organization.

Secretary Lan has the right to know and must know what is happening in the hospital. He has the power to make decisions and Secretary Lan has the right to know.

It is because the two of them can understand each other that they can work together and carry out the work quickly and efficiently.

When I arrived at Secretary Lan's office, a colleague came out and asked, "Is Secretary Lan here?"

"Dean Wu, Secretary Lan is inside. It's just that no one is around right now."

Dean Wu walked to the door and knocked before walking in.

"Old Wu, why did you come back so soon? Didn't you find anyone?"

"Alas, I found it, but it's almost the same as not finding it."

"What do you mean?" Secretary Lan poured him a glass of water and asked him to sit down and talk.
