204: Daily Interview

"I finally understand why it's called a 'celadon glazed string pattern vase.' Look at those lines on the body; they're so neat! It must have been made by the best craftsman of that time. Incredible!"

"Can some expert in the field give us a quick lesson? Why is the glaze on this vase so special? It looks different from ordinary celadon."

"Honestly, when the sunlight hit it, I was actually dazed! Is this the craftsmanship of our ancestors? It's so awesome!"

Because the National Museum's livestream room had previously disabled the donation feature, netizens couldn't send gifts even if they wanted to.

So, everyone flocked to the rooms of various other streamers and began sending gifts frantically, just to get the streamers to point their cameras at Lei Jun.

A streamer named "Listening to the Spring and Appreciating Treasures" originally specialized in antique appraisal livestreams and had come to the scene to educate everyone about national treasures.

He was holding a magnifying glass and explaining the vase when he suddenly saw gift notifications popping up wildly in his livestream room.

He was so startled that his glasses fell to the floor; he quickly bent over to pick them up and pushed them back onto his nose.

He glanced at the bullet chat, which was filled with: "Point the camera at Lei Jun!" "Stop talking about the vase, we want to see the Big Sister!" "If you don't give her screen time, we'll stop sending gifts!"

He understood instantly that these gifts were all for Lei Jun.

He had originally wanted to give a good explanation of the national treasure to gain some knowledgeable fans, but seeing this situation, he didn't care about national treasures anymore—traffic and gifts were king!

If he pointed the camera at Lei Jun more today, he might gain tens of thousands of followers and a lot of gift income, which was much more cost-effective than explaining antiques.

Thinking of this, he picked up the microphone and roared at the camera.

"No one supports my lofty ambition, so I shall tread the snow to the mountain peak alone!"

"Oh ah ah yeah~ duang duang duang le-ge le-ge le-ge dan-dan yeah~ Hajimi oh nanbei lüdou ashigashi hayaku naru omazili manbo Hajimi~~ oh~ yeah yeah yeah~~ Hajimi manbo naruto hayaku wa xiahai nalu gashi nanbei lüdou ha~ jimi~"

National treasures?

What's so good about those!

He swung the camera around, pointing it directly at Lei Jun on the stage, and even specifically zoomed in for a close-up.

"Family, I'm fulfilling your requests! See, the camera has turned!"

"Family, do you see? This is Ms. Lei Jun, who donated the national treasure!"

"She has such high beauty and great temperament, and she's so full of sentiment!"

"We'll just look at Big Sister more today. As for the national treasure, we'll talk about it later!"

Then, he fixed the camera on Lei Jun, and no matter how lively things got over by the vase, he never turned back.

The gifts in the livestream room were sent even more crazily.

Hahaha, how wonderful!

...After the unveiling ceremony ended, Director Zhang walked over holding a red-and-gold embossed donation certificate, his smile even more cordial than before.

"Ms. Lei, this is your donation certificate. Please sign here."

Lei Jun reached out and took it, glancing at the inner page, which listed the name and specifications of the donated relic, along with the words "Thank you for your outstanding contribution to the nation's cultural cause," signed with the National Museum's official seal and the date.

She picked up the pen and smoothly signed her name.

After she finished signing, Director Zhang carefully put away one copy of the certificate and handed the other to Lei Jun: "Ms. Lei, please keep this copy; it can serve as a memento."

Lei Jun took the certificate and casually handed it to Lei Ying beside her to put away.

After waiting a bit longer for the leaders and experts to finish their pleasantries, the donation ceremony, which had lasted nearly two hours, finally came to an official end.

Lei Jun was just thinking of saying goodbye to Director Zhang when he proactively approached her and said with a smile.

"Ms. Lei, if I could take a few minutes of your time, a host from Dragon Country Daily would like to do an exclusive interview with you. Would that be convenient?"

"Dragon Country Daily?"

Lei Jun knew this newspaper; it was a core official media outlet with immense influence, incomparable to ordinary media.

An exclusive interview?

Lei Jun nodded and said calmly, "Sure, no problem."

Seeing her agree so readily, Director Zhang's smile grew even brighter: "Wonderful! I'll have them get ready. The reception room is right next door; it's quite quiet there."

As soon as Lei Jun nodded in agreement, many people crowded around, wanting to take photos with her.

First to walk over was the President of Shanghai University, his face full of uncontrollable pride.

"Student Lei Jun, come, let's take a photo together. I want to put this photo on the school's official website so all the teachers and students can learn from you!"

Lei Jun didn't refuse; she stood beside the President with a faint smile on her face.

The President quickly asked the nearby Dean of Academic Affairs to help take the photo, specifically instructing, "Make sure it's clear, and get the certificate in the shot too!"

While taking the photo, the President intentionally leaned a bit closer to Lei Jun.

After the photo, the President said a lot of encouraging words, which basically boiled down to telling her to keep working hard and studying well, and that the school would always be her backer.

Lei Jun nodded politely in response to everything.

As soon as the President left, that "Listening to the Spring and Appreciating Treasures" streamer who had kept his camera on Lei Jun squeezed his way over.

"Ms. Lei Jun, could I take a photo with you? The fans in my livestream are all waiting!"

He stood beside Lei Jun and specifically made a "V" sign.

Taking a photo with Lei Jun and posting it to his livestream and social media platforms would definitely gain him followers and maybe even more gifts—this was a massive win!

Lei Jun was in a good mood and nodded with a smile.

As for this "Listening to the Spring and Appreciating Treasures," she had seen his livestreams before, so she decided to give him some face.

Other streamers were not to be outdone and flocked over, saying things like "Ms. Lei, let's take a photo" and "Big Sister, please, a photo," surrounding Lei Jun in an instant.

During the photo-taking process, the gift notifications in various livestream rooms began to flood the screens again.

"Wow, Big Sister took a photo with the streamer! I got a screenshot; her beauty is out of this world!"

"The streamer is so good at clout-chasing! But since Big Sister is so beautiful, I'll forgive you!"

"The donation certificate in Big Sister's hand is so dazzling; this is true honor!"

"Streamer, can you let Big Sister say a few more words? I want to hear her voice!"

"Has anyone noticed how good Big Sister's temperament is? Both cool and gentle, I love it!"

"Asking the streamer to post the original photo; I want to use it as my wallpaper!"

Although Lei Jun wasn't watching the livestreams, she could feel the excitement of the streamers around her and see the constant gift notifications jumping on their phone screens.

After finally finishing the photos, the Editor-in-Chief of Dragon Country Daily was already waiting in the reception room.

The Editor-in-Chief was a middle-aged man in his forties, wearing a formal suit and looking very steady.

When he saw Lei Jun enter, he quickly stood up to greet her: "Hello, Ms. Lei, sorry to disturb you."

"You're welcome," Lei Jun nodded and followed him into the reception room.

The reception room was simply decorated with a rectangular table, chairs on both sides, and several landscape paintings hanging on the walls; the environment was indeed quite quiet.
