205: If you like it, I’ll brush it for you again next time.The streamers’ bullet chats exploded.

”No way, no way! Why did Lei Jun go into a room alone with a strange man?”

”Stop overthinking! That’s the Editor-in-Chief of the Dragon Country Daily. Didn’t you see him wearing a formal suit? It must be an exclusive interview!”

”An interview with the Dragon Country Daily! That’s such a big deal; ordinary people don’t get that kind of treatment!”

”Will the Editor-in-Chief ask difficult questions? I hope he doesn’t make things hard for our big sister!”

”I hope she can talk more about the national treasure and let more people know the importance of cultural relic protection!”

The Editor-in-Chief took out the outline he had prepared in advance, looked at Lei Jun, and asked in a gentle tone.

”Ms. Lei, first of all, thank you very much for accepting our interview. May I ask how you first learned about this southern song dynasty official kiln celadon string pattern vase? Why did you decide to spend so much money to bid on it and donate it to the country?”

Lei Jun picked up the water glass on the table and took a sip, quickly organizing her thoughts.

She didn’t want to say anything too complicated; she just wanted to tell the truth.

”I saw the preview before the auction and knew this was a national treasure that had been lost overseas. As for why I donated it, it’s simple: it belongs to our country. After wandering for so many years, it’s long overdue to come home. I just did what should be done.”

”Were there any difficulties during the auction in Tokyo? For example, competition from other bidders or subsequent transportation issues?” the Editor-in-Chief asked again.

Mentioning the auction, Lei Jun remembered the scene of directly shouting 50 billion Yen, and the later encounter with Sato’s gang.

But she didn’t want to talk about the twists and turns, nor did she want the focus to be on herself.

”There were indeed other competitors during the bidding, but fortunately, the auction went smoothly. The transportation was arranged in advance, so there were no major problems.”

The Editor-in-Chief nodded and asked: ”You are so young, yet you have such a high level of patriotism. It’s truly admirable. Is there anything you’d like to say to today’s youth? For example, regarding the protection of cultural relics.”

Lei Jun thought for a moment, feeling that this was the focus of the interview, and her tone became more serious: ”I believe cultural relics are the roots of our nation, treasures left by our ancestors. Protecting cultural relics is protecting our history and culture.”

”I hope everyone learns more and promotes it more, so that more people know their value and participate in cultural relic protection.”

”Will you continue to follow national treasures lost overseas? Do you have plans to donate again?”

”I will follow them,” Lei Jun nodded. ”If I encounter such an opportunity in the future, as long as it is a national treasure of our country, I will do my best to bid for them and bring them home.”

”Donation is not the goal; the goal is to let the national treasures return to their homeland and be well protected.”

Next, the Editor-in-Chief asked several more questions about cultural relic protection. Lei Jun answered each one seriously, without using empty words or platitudes. Every word was simple but sincere.

The interview lasted about half an hour before ending. The Editor-in-Chief shook Lei Jun’s hand and said, ”Ms. Lei, thank you very much for your cooperation. Your words have touched us deeply. We will certainly organize this interview well so that more people can see your patriotism.”

Lei Jun smiled: ”Thank you for your hard work. Just focus more on the national treasure.”

Leaving the meeting room, Director Zhang approached her again, his face showing a hint of hesitation.

”Ms. Lei, I have something to tell you. Regarding the title of ’patriotic youth,’ we have already submitted the application for you. However, the selection for this title is very strict with many hard indicators, and the competition is intense, so... you might not be selected. Please don’t hold too much expectation.”

Lei Jun didn’t feel any sense of disappointment; instead, she felt it was quite normal.

She never considered this title as something she had to obtain.

She looked at Director Zhang and said in a flat tone, ”It’s okay, I understand. I’m already very grateful that you could apply. It’s fine if I’m not selected. I didn’t do these things for a title anyway.”

Being selected would be a recognition, but not being selected didn’t matter. Regardless, the national treasure was back, and her goal was achieved.

Moreover, for such an official title, strict selection was appropriate. She shouldn’t be given special treatment just because she donated a cultural relic; that wouldn’t be fair to others.

Seeing how reasonable she was, Director Zhang admired her even more: ”It’s great that you think that way. We will do our best to fight for it. Regardless of the outcome, we will keep your patriotism in our hearts.”

”You’re too kind. It’s what I should do,” Lei Jun said.

”We are the ones who should say thank you,” Director Zhang waved his hand hurriedly. ”If it weren’t for you, who knows how long this national treasure would have wandered, or if it would ever have come back. You’ve made such a great contribution to the country; we should all thank you.”

After chatting for a bit, Lei Jun bid farewell to Director Zhang.

She returned to Modu with the President of Shanghai University, the Dean of Academic Affairs, and others.

The President was excited throughout the journey. On the plane, he kept talking to Lei Jun, sometimes praising her for bringing honor to the school, and sometimes saying she was a role model for all teachers and students.

Patting his chest, he promised again: ”Student Lei Jun, if you have any difficulties in school in the future, whether in your studies or life, you can come directly to me. The school will definitely do its best to help you solve them!”

Lei Jun smiled and nodded in agreement.

However, she didn’t really have any difficulties in school, as she had the Photographic Memory ability for her studies.

As for other matters, she could handle them herself, so she probably wouldn’t need to trouble the school.

Nevertheless, she still appreciated the President’s kind intentions.

After flying for a while, Lei Ying leaned close to Lei Jun’s ear and whispered.

”Miss, Mr. Lei Jun and Mr. Wang Quanfu tipped you nearly four million in gifts in the donation ceremony’s livestream. They only stopped when the National Museum turned off the tipping function.”

”Oh? They sent gifts too?” Lei Jun was a bit surprised. She had been busy with the ceremony and hadn’t paid any attention to the livestream.

She took out her phone and first called Lei Jun.

The call was quickly connected, and Lei Jun’s voice was as enthusiastic as ever: ”Director Lei, are you finished? The donation ceremony was a huge success. You’ve truly done a great thing for the country!”

”Thank you,” Lei Jun said with a smile. ”I heard you sent a lot of gifts in the livestream? There’s no need for such expense.”

”Hey, it’s nothing!” Lei Jun said hurriedly. ”You were willing to spend over two hundred million to buy a national treasure for donation; what’s a few gifts from me? I mainly wanted to support you and let more people pay attention to the return of national treasures. If you like it, I’ll tip you again next time!”

”No need, I appreciate the thought,” Lei Jun said. ”Please stay focused on the cooperation between Xiaomi and BYD, especially the mass production of solid-state batteries. You must hurry.”

”Don’t worry, I’ll definitely keep an eye on it!” Lei Jun promised immediately.
