Chapter 386: Various departments compete for Qi Tongwei
"It has extremely high research significance, carrying the countless wisdom and cultural heritage of our ancestors. However, it has been lost for nearly a hundred years. During this period, we have been searching for it, and every antique researcher regards it as a dream in their hearts."
"I didn't expect that you would bring me back when we were almost in despair."
At this point, tears welled up in the old man's eyes and slid down his wrinkled cheeks.
"I'm so grateful to you. You have no idea what this means to our entire antique research community. It gives us hope for studying ancient culture. This antique is like a key that can unlock many historical mysteries that we couldn't solve before."
After hearing what the old man said, Qi Tongwei just smiled slightly, his eyes still calm and indifferent.
He shook his head gently and said, "I just did what I should do. Every antique is a treasure of human civilization. They should not be smuggled or stolen, but should be well protected so that they can display their value in the right place."
"I'm very glad to be able to bring it back, and I hope it can make a greater contribution to antique research."
Qi Tongwei's action is of great significance to the antique research community.
This antique, which is more than 3,000 years old, is like an ancient and mysterious book. Its return will provide scholars with a lot of valuable research materials.
It may change some existing research conclusions on ancient culture, technology, social structure, etc., allowing scholars to have a deeper understanding of human civilization more than 3,000 years ago.
But since landing, Qi Tongwei seemed to be caught in a vortex of passionate pursuit.
Various cultural relics protection centers and treasure appraisal departments have focused their attention on him.
In a corner of the city, in a national first-class cultural relics protection center, the conference room was filled with a tense and expectant atmosphere.
The director of the center is an old man with gray hair and thick glasses. He is speaking to a group of senior cultural relics appraisal experts and staff.
"You've all heard about Qi Tongwei from the Wolf Warrior Squadron, right? His eyes are like a stroke of genius."
"Some say he has X-ray vision and can see through the internal structure of antiques; others say he has special abilities and can determine the authenticity of antiques at a glance."
"We have several antiques here whose ages are questionable and whose authenticity is difficult to determine. The counterfeiters are so skilled that we have exhausted all conventional identification methods, but still cannot come to a definitive conclusion. If we can ask Qi Tongwei to come and take a look, perhaps we can solve these mysteries."
The director's voice echoed in the conference room, and every word was full of expectations for Qi Tongwei.
At the same time, at a well-known treasure appraisal department on the other side of the city, the atmosphere was equally lively.
The head of the department was an energetic middle-aged man. He stood in the center of the office, surrounded by the department's key appraisers.
"Everyone knows that the story of Qi Tongwei has been circulating in the antique world recently. His abilities are beyond imagination, and we have quite a few difficult antiques here."
"The craftsmanship of those antiques is so complex that it's a headache, and the counterfeiting methods are also varied. Our appraisers are a little overwhelmed. If we can invite Qi Tongwei here, it would be like inviting a living appraisal bible for us."
The person in charge waved his arms excitedly, his eyes gleaming with desire.
Various cultural relics protection centers and treasure appraisal departments, as if competing with each other, sent invitations to Qi Tongwei through various channels.
Qi Tongwei's phone was almost blown up, and his mailbox was filled with various invitation letters.
The words of those invitations were all similar, expressing admiration for his magical abilities and earnest requests for his help in identifying antiques.
Qi Tongwei has been busy like a top recently, spinning non-stop.
He rushed between various cultural relics protection centers and treasure appraisal departments, and hardly even spent a few days in the army.
The Dragon Group was in an uproar, and the leaders of the Dragon Group were complaining one after another.
Long Shi could no longer sit still. His face flushed red, his eyes widened like bells, and he strode angrily towards the relevant departments.
Long Shi came to the office of the relevant department and pushed the door open with a "bang". The noise was so loud that it seemed to shake the entire office.
As soon as he entered the room, he shouted at the leader inside: "You are going too far. Qi Tongwei is a prospective member of our Dragon Group. You should at least get our consent, right?"
His voice echoed in the office, full of anger and dissatisfaction.
The leaders of the relevant departments remained calm and composed. They sat behind their desks, slowly raised their heads and glanced at Long Shi, then gently uttered four words: "Preparatory personnel."
When Longshi heard this, his face turned even redder.
He raised his voice and said anxiously, "It's about to become official."
His eyes were fixed on the leader, full of unwillingness.
The leader laughed, and that smile was particularly dazzling to Longshi.
The leader said calmly, "Long Shi, as long as Qi Tongwei doesn't become a formal member of your Dragon Group, his current status and deployment will still be under the jurisdiction of the Wolf Fang Brigade. I've already contacted Chief He, and he hasn't said anything. Aren't you interfering too much?"
When Longshi heard this, his anger suddenly rose up.
His fists were clenched so tightly that the veins on the back of his hands bulged.
This was the first time he hated Qi Tongwei so much because he was not yet an official member of the Dragon Group.
In his mind, Qi Tongwei clearly had a close connection with the Dragon Group, and the only thing missing was the formal procedure.
But now, because of this, he doesn't even have the power to fight for Qi Tongwei.
He glared at the leader fiercely, turned around and strode out of the office.
His footsteps were heavy, and every step seemed to vent the anger in his heart, making a dull sound in the silent corridor.
As Long Shi walked, he secretly swore in his heart that he must make Qi Tongwei an official member of the Dragon Group as soon as possible and never let such a thing happen again.
......
After a few busy days, Qi Tongwei finally had time to return to the Dragon Group base to visit the injured team members.
When he stepped into the base, Tushi came up to him with a mysterious smile on his face.
Tu Shi was holding two thick stacks of papers in his hands. Qi Tongwei looked at them curiously. Before he could ask any questions, Tu Shi handed the two stacks to him.
Qi Tongwei took it and saw that it was a thank-you letter.
