Dream Legend

Chapter 40 Farewell to Classmates and Professor Jin

Wu Shandi and Du Xiaoyong will go to work at the State Administration of Cultural Heritage in the capital the day after tomorrow. But the work of the Shenquan Group has to continue. Wu Shandi appointed Lin Fan as the temporary head of the Shenquan Group of Jingxi University. If you have any questions, you can call Wu Shandi at any time. In addition, He Juan is responsible for the monthly repayment of Jihai Shenquan Company and deposits it in the bank. She took out 500,000 yuan to establish the Shenquan Relief Foundation, which is dedicated to helping poor students. Sun Jingjing is responsible for the certification of the relief objects of the Shenquan Relief Foundation. Wu Shandi and Du Xiaoyong convened all members of the Shenquan Group to explain some things, and repeatedly reminded everyone to have a big picture view and not to worry about personal gains and losses. Don't just be a mess and muddle through just because Wu Shandi and Du Xiaoyong left Jingxi University. If there is anything, you can send messages, discuss, make suggestions, etc. in the WeChat group to show team spirit.

At 6 pm, Wu Shandi invited all members of the God Circle team to the most luxurious five-star hotel in western Beijing for dinner. Rather than a dinner, it was more of a farewell dinner. As the saying goes, all good things must come to an end. Wu Shandi, Du Xiaoyong and seven others came to the hotel together. Wu Shandi ordered a state banquet to entertain everyone. After all, they had been classmates for two years and were members of the God Circle team. Some were comrades in the basketball team and had shared hardships. In two days, they would be separated from them. Wu Shandi felt the same as everyone else and was reluctant to leave. Although it is now the information age and we can chat via video, it is always not as intimate as face-to-face chatting. Seeing that everyone looked a little sad, Sun Jingjing started yelling, "Why are you all as wilted as frosted eggplants, without any smiles at all? It's just that Captain Wu and Du Xiaoyong are going to work at the State Administration of Cultural Heritage. We should be happy about such a good thing, but we are making it so dull, as if Captain Wu and Du Xiaoyong are going to jail." "Pooh, pooh, pooh, Jingjing, how can you talk like that? This analogy is so inappropriate, some of what you said is too much. We should be happy today and celebrate that Captain Wu and Du Xiaoyong got ashore early." He Juan was very dissatisfied with Sun Jingjing's words as if they were going to jail, and quickly retorted to Sun Jingjing. Du Xiaoyong stood up and said to everyone: "Everyone must say a word of friendship to me and Captain Wu, but you cannot repeat it. Those who repeat it or do not say it will be fined a glass of wine later. What do you think?" Lin Fan clapped his hands and said to everyone: "This is a good suggestion. It is a bit like a drinking game. There are many scenes of drinking games described in Dream of the Red Chamber." Shan Ming heard Lin Fan's words and was about to make a joke. At this time, the waiter brought the dishes and Wu Shandi invited everyone to eat. Du Xiaoyong filled everyone's glasses. Lin Fan raised his glass and said: "I urge you to drink another glass of wine. There will be no friends when you go west of Yangguan." After that, he smiled and greeted everyone, drank it all in one gulp, and everyone followed suit. Shan Ming shook his head and said: "Friends and relatives in Luoyang came to ask about me. My heart is as pure as ice in the jade pot." After that, he raised his glass to salute everyone and asked them to finish the wine in their glasses. Everyone followed suit and finished the wine in their glasses. He Le also raised the wine glass in his hand and said: "The old friend bid farewell to the Yellow Crane Tower, and went to Yangzhou in March with fireworks." Du Xiaoyong immediately said: "Not bad, not bad." He asked everyone to drink up the wine in the glass. Sun Jingjing was not to be outdone and said: "A bosom friend is a friend indeed. Let's drink this glass of wine, and everything will be clear." After that, she raised her head and drank it up. He Juan saw that they had all finished speaking, and she was a little anxious. She recited a poem by Wang Wei: "Red beans grow in the south, and a few branches sprout in spring. I hope you can pick more of them, as this is the most nostalgic." After that, Shan Ming looked at Wu Shandi and said: "This is the most nostalgic, what a good one! Come on, let's drink this glass of wine!" After this, everyone couldn't help laughing.

In order to ease the awkward situation, Wu Shandi immediately said to everyone: "Thank you for your blessings and care. I would like to offer you a glass of wine to express my gratitude to you." After that, everyone drank the wine in the glass. Du Xiaoyong also came to toast to express his gratitude. A farewell and farewell banquet, telling the friendship, blessing the friendship boat, and seeing off friends who are traveling far away. He Le drank a few glasses of wine, his face was flushed, and he said to everyone: "After dinner, let's go to KTV to sing, and we won't stop until we sing!" Du Xiaoyong was also a little drunk and responded loudly: "Good idea, let's go to KTV to sing." Du Xiaoyong was interested in KTV, so everyone naturally accompanied him to the end.

In the luxurious KTV room, He Juan and Sun Jingjing sang to their heart's content, and several male classmates drank beer while enjoying the music. They were very comfortable and enjoyed all the beauty. At this time, the waiter opened the door of the room, and a young man dressed fashionably followed behind him. The waiter pointed at the man behind him and said to everyone: "Your expenses for today have been paid by this gentleman. I wish you a happy time." Everyone noticed the man behind him. With the dim light, they could vaguely see that the man behind him was Zhao Peng. Zhao Peng came forward and greeted everyone: "Classmates, good evening. Maybe my appearance disturbed your interest. I apologize to everyone!" Zhao Peng is worthy of being a student of the Broadcasting Department. His voice is magnetic and attractive. Of course, during this happy time, don't refuse other people's kindness. What's more, Zhao Peng has paid for the KTV room tonight. It would be unreasonable to refuse him. Since he was here, he should treat him with courtesy. Wu Shandi walked over, shook Zhao Peng's hand, and said to Zhao Peng politely: "Welcome, classmate Zhao Peng, to join our KTV event tonight. Let's have a drink first." Zhao Peng was not polite either. He took the microphone, ordered Zhou Huajian's "Friends", and sang alone. He Juan and Sun Jingjing thought of Zhao Peng's cafeteria incident and Ji Hai's poverty. Looking at Zhao Peng now, there is really a world of difference. After the song was over, Zhao Peng walked to the table, opened a few bottles of beer, and filled everyone's glasses one by one. Zhao Peng raised his glass and said modestly to everyone: "I, Zhao Peng, am here to apologize to you all today. I regret some of the things I did in the past that were not worthy of being shown in public. This first glass of beer is my apology to you all." After that, Zhao Peng drank it all in one gulp. Everyone looked at each other. Wu Shandi picked up the glass and replied: "Zhao Peng, you are a good comrade if you admit your mistakes and correct them. Let's drink this glass." After that, Wu Shandi finished the wine in the glass. When everyone saw that Wu Shandi had finished the wine in the glass, they followed suit. Zhao Peng raised the second glass of wine and said to everyone affectionately: "This second glass of wine is also an apology to you. Last year, I stole your basketball team's strategy and tactics and gave them to the opponent. Today, I specially apologize to Captain Wu and the players. I hope you can forgive my mean-spiritedness. All the words of apology are in this glass of wine. I'll drink it first." After that, everyone drank the wine in the glass in one gulp. Sun Jingjing, under the influence of the alcohol, said to Zhao Peng: "Zhao Peng, you are simply assisting." Zhao Peng was embarrassed. Zhao Peng raised the third glass and said to everyone a little excitedly: "For this third glass of wine, I want to thank everyone, especially Captain Wu. I remember when I was penniless in Jihai, it was you, Captain Wu, who generously lent me 500 yuan. It was this 500 yuan that made me wake up. All the bad behaviors in the past were all my own fault. I decided to change my ways. So I came here today to thank all the classmates for your tolerance towards me, especially Captain Wu, who is a good role model for us." Before he finished speaking, everyone applauded Zhao Peng to express their recognition and encouragement for his spirit of correcting his mistakes and daring to do and take responsibility.

It was already late at night. Wu Shandi drank a lot of wine today. Although he was a little tipsy, he couldn't sleep in bed. He thought about leaving Jingxi University the day after tomorrow, leaving Jingxi City, leaving his classmates and teachers who had been with him day and night, and leaving his basketball team, which was the basketball he was most reluctant to give up. Du Xiaoyong couldn't sleep either, but he didn't want to affect his classmates' rest, so he had to think about some things in the past. He thought about going to work at the State Administration of Cultural Heritage the day after tomorrow. He was very fortunate to be able to work there, and he was also very grateful to Wu Shandi for recommending him, so that he could successfully land in advance, which would not only reduce the financial pressure on his parents, but also make his dream come true.

Today, Wu Shandi and Du Xiaoyong were going to visit Professor Jin, and also to say goodbye to him. After passing through the bamboo forest, Wu Shandi and Du Xiaoyong went upstairs and knocked on the door of Professor Jin's house. Professor Jin was very happy to see Wu Shandi and Du Xiaoyong, and quickly let them in, and said to Wu Shandi: "I have finished reading the ancient books you sent, and I will return them to you later." Wu Shandi waved his hand, smiled and said to Professor Jin: "Professor Jin, those ancient books are useless to me anyway, you can keep them." Du Xiaoyong brought a famous tea and wine to Professor Jin. Professor Jin saw it and said to Du Xiaoyong angrily: "Xiaoyong, you have learned this set of skills now, and learned to give gifts. The friendship between gentlemen is as light as water. You can take it back later." Du Xiaoyong felt very wronged, but still nodded to accept Professor Jin's criticism and education. Wu Shandi knew Professor Jin's hobby, so he took out two touchstones and a piece of Jihai green stone from a suitcase and gave them to Professor Jin. Professor Jin shook his head and said to Wu Shandi, "Student Wu, I dare not accept such a valuable gift from you. You should take it back." Wu Shandi smiled and said to Professor Jin, "Professor Jin, I am not giving it to you, but giving it to you to enjoy for a few days. I will take it back when the time comes." Professor Jin was very satisfied with Wu Shandi's approach. Then Wu Shandi sent Professor Jin the pictures of the national treasure-level cultural relics of Nanhai No. 1 taken by Fan Cheng. When Professor Jin saw these pictures, he repeatedly praised the workmanship of these national treasure-level cultural relics and the wisdom of the ancients. Wu Shandi took off the dragon and phoenix necklace from his neck and handed it to Professor Jin. Professor Jin was also surprised to see that the two dragon and phoenix necklaces were a pair. He did not expect that there would be such a coincidence that the dragon and phoenix necklaces were gathered together. Professor Jin was very surprised and asked Wu Shandi: "Where did you get this phoenix collar from, please tell me." Wu Shandi knew that Professor Jin was interested in these antiques, so he told Professor Jin without reservation: "This phoenix collar is actually the favorite of He Juan's father He Zhi. According to He Zhi, it was purchased from a farmer in Yunnan." Professor Jin asked Wu Shandi in surprise: "Is He Zhi an archaeologist in Jihai City?" Wu Shandi nodded quickly and said: "Yes, that's right." Professor Jin said to Wu Shandi and Du Xiaoyong with interest: "He Zhi was also my favorite student. He was a student when I was a professor at Capital University. He specially sent me a touchstone a few years ago." After speaking, Professor Jin pointed to the cabinet on the wall. When Professor Jin talked about He Zhi, his face looked particularly excited. After all, He Zhi was also a leading archaeologist in the country, and was highly regarded by Professor Jin. He could be regarded as the successor of Professor Jin.

Professor Jin knew that Wu Shandi and Du Xiaoyong would go to work at the State Administration of Cultural Heritage in two days. When Professor Jin saw the two handsome young men, he was very happy to say to them, "I heard that you two will go to work at the State Administration of Cultural Heritage in two days. I am really happy for you and wish you a safe journey and good work! You can stay here for lunch today and have a simple meal. It can be regarded as a farewell party for you." Wu Shandi and Du Xiaoyong knew Professor Jin's temper and agreed immediately. Professor Jin picked up the pair of dragon and phoenix collars and carefully observed them with a magnifying glass, trying to find the connection and difference between them. Professor Jin said to Wu Shandi as he looked at them, "There is an ancient and beautiful legend about this pair of dragon and phoenix collars. It is said that tens of thousands of years ago in ancient times among the Miao people in Yunnan, a pair of brothers and sisters died together with the demon in order to get rid of the demon in the cave. The father of the brothers and sisters made such a set of dragon and phoenix collars to commemorate his children, but the father never expected that on a stormy night, the dragon collar was suddenly struck by lightning and flew away with the lightning. Only a phoenix collar was left at home. Of course, this is just a legend and can only be used as a joke after dinner." Wu Shandi was secretly amazed when he listened to Professor Jin's legend about the dragon and phoenix collars. The phoenix collar was indeed purchased by He Zhi from a Miao farmer in Yunnan, and his dragon collar was the favorite of the right protector Qingniao. The right protector Qingniao said that the dragon collar had a deep connection with the Demon Cave. The most proud disciple of the Demon Cave Lord Dong Yin was actually a coiled dragon named Xiang Wudi, who could destroy people invisibly with his ever-changing abilities. Because the demon lord Dong Yin was so confident of his boundless magic that he dared to compete with the fire god Zhu Rong, his disciple Xiang Wudi attacked Zhu Rong, but was subdued by the fire god Zhu Rong, who used the Samadhi True Fire to eliminate his demonic nature and sealed him in a collar, which was then given to the Queen Mother of the West and given to the Right Guardian Blue Bird. Wu Shandi wondered if the dragon collar was taken away by the fire god Zhu Rong and Xiang Wudi was sealed in it. Of course, this was just Wu Shandi's speculation. Du Xiaoyong patted Wu Shandi with his hand and said, "Captain Wu, why are you in a daze? It's time for lunch." Wu Shandi came out of his thoughts and quickly replied, "I'm coming, don't wait for me, you guys eat first!"
