Chapter 279
Dominating the Internet Rankings and Becoming a God! I've Taken Over the Ancestor&#
The following day, at 3:00 PM Beijing time.
Kyoto, Daxing International Airport.
The usually busy private jet parking area was completely under the highest level of lockdown today!
Outside the tarmac, more than a dozen special police riot control armored vehicles with flashing red and blue police lights were parked neatly. Armed special police officers stood guard every five meters, surrounding the entire area like an iron barrel!
A brand-new red carpet, 100 meters long, was laid from the end of the track to the entrance of the VIP passage.
At the end of the red carpet, Director Zhou of the State Administration of Cultural Heritage, Director Chen of the National Museum of China, and more than a dozen national treasure-level experts with gray hair and wearing Zhongshan suits were braving the biting cold wind, craning their necks and looking expectantly at the distant sky.
Nearby, reporters from dozens of national core official media outlets, including CCTV News and Xinhua News Agency, had already set up their cameras and microphones, launching a live broadcast simultaneously across the entire internet!
On one side of the VIP waiting area on the tarmac.
Wang Ye's close female friends also came: Su Qingyan, the top student and campus belle from Peking University; Xu An'an, the proud heiress from Beijing Institute of Fashion Technology; Shen Zhiwei, the aloof cultural and educational director; and Pei Nana, the operations director. They all arrived at the scene with special passes to welcome him!
Xu An'an, wrapped in a custom-made white mink coat, looked at the terrifying scene of heavily armed people and big shots gathered around her, and nervously swallowed, quietly tugging at Su Qingyan's sleeve.
"Qingyan... my goodness, what earth-shattering thing did Wang Ye do in Paris?"
"Why are armored vehicles even driving onto the tarmac?! Weren't we just here to pick someone up?!"
Shen Zhiwei, the director of Wenbo next to him, pushed up her frameless glasses. Her beautiful eyes were filled with barely suppressed excitement and fervor, and her voice trembled slightly.
"An'an, don't you know? This morning, the entire cultural heritage and archaeology community in China was in an uproar!"
"Yesterday in Paris, Chairman Wang personally spent a whopping 2.35 billion RMB to snatch back the Tang Dynasty Diamond Sutra, a unique copy lost from the Dunhuang Mogao Caves, and the snake head from the Haiyantang Hall of the Old Summer Palace, which had been missing for a century!"
"Most importantly, after winning the bid, Chairman Wang didn't ask for a single penny and immediately decided to hand it all over to the state free of charge!"
"What?!"
"They spent 2.3 billion yuan to buy national treasures, and then just donated them to the country for free?!"
Xu An'an gasped, her mouth agape wide enough to fit an egg!
Although they already knew that Wang Ye was incredibly wealthy, the fact that he casually threw out 2.3 billion yuan without batting an eye just to bring his ancestors' cultural relics home was beyond the limits of human imagination!
Su Qingyan gazed quietly at the horizon, a smile of unparalleled pride and gentleness appearing on her cool and beautiful face.
This is the man she has her eye on. He may seem carefree and unrestrained at times, but when it comes to matters of principle, he always stands tall and upright!
Just then!
Rumble—!!
On the distant horizon, a long, white silhouette broke through the clouds and landed smoothly on the main runway with a deep, powerful roar of its engine!
It was Wang Ye's Bombardier Global 7500 flagship private jet, worth 400 million yuan!
The airport tower directly deployed two top-of-the-line fire trucks to park on both sides of the taxiway, spraying out two huge water jets that were tens of meters high, which intertwined in the sunlight to form a magnificent rainbow arch!
The highest civil aviation honor—the water salute—was used to welcome the national treasures and the heroes who protected them home!
The plane passed through the water gate and came to a smooth stop right in front of the red carpet.
The cabin door slowly opened, and the welcoming gangway descended.
Wearing a black stand-up collar Chinese-style overcoat and standing tall and straight like a pine tree, Wang Ye carried a specially made silver bulletproof constant temperature suitcase in each hand and stepped out of the cabin door!
Behind them, the stunningly beautiful mixed-race Alice and the head butler Gu Qingcheng followed closely.
Snap! Snap! Snap—!
The shutter sounds of dozens of official media cameras and video cameras on site instantly filled the air!
Director Zhou of the Cultural Relics Bureau and Director Chen of the National Museum were so excited that their faces turned red as they quickly walked onto the red carpet.
Wang Ye walked down the gangway, placed the two bulletproof, temperature-controlled boxes on the handover platform in the center of the red carpet, and entered the password to open the boxes in front of everyone.
In the warm afternoon sun.
The Tang Dynasty Dunhuang Diamond Sutra handscroll, spanning over a thousand years, and the bronze snake head from the Yuanmingyuan Garden, which has finally returned to its homeland after a century of vicissitudes, are displayed before everyone without reservation!
Several elderly archaeological masters with gray hair looked at the original artifact before them, took off their glasses on the spot, and were so moved that tears streamed down their faces, and they wept uncontrollably.
"They're back...they're really back! After being lost overseas for over 120 years, our ancestors' treasure has finally come home!"
Director Zhou gripped Wang Ye's hands tightly and shook them vigorously, his voice loud yet trembling.
"Comrade Wang Ye! On behalf of the State Administration of Cultural Heritage and on behalf of 1.4 billion compatriots across the country, I thank you for your patriotic act!"
"Faced with provocations from foreign conglomerates overseas, you did not back down, and spent a huge sum of money to retrieve national treasures and donated them free of charge. You are truly a role model for contemporary youth and a hero of the nation!"
Facing the cameras of the entire network, Wang Ye remained calm and composed, with a faint smile on his face.
"Director Zhou, you're too kind. I'm just an ordinary college student who happened to be lucky enough to make a little money."
"These things originally belonged to our family. They were left outside and suffered some mistreatment. When I came across them, it was only natural that I would take them home."
"If everyone gives a little love, the world will become a better place."
Standing not far away, Xu An'an heard Wang Ye solemnly refer to himself as "an ordinary college student who has made a little money" in front of the live broadcast camera. Her lips twitched violently twice, and she whispered to Liu Ruoxi next to her, complaining.
"Pah! He drives a 400 million yuan private jet, casually spends 2.3 billion yuan to buy national treasures, and he calls himself an ordinary college student who's made a little money?! College students all over the country would want to smash him with bricks!"
Liu Ruoxi covered her mouth and giggled, her eyes filled with lust.
"Our little rascal's mouth is so smooth, he can even fool reporters. But his gentlemanly demeanor is so handsome it makes my legs weak..."
At the handover ceremony, Director Zhou personally presented Wang Ye with a gold-embossed "National Special-Class Cultural Relics Protection Outstanding Contribution Medal" and Honorary Certificate No. 008. The Armed Police Special Forces escort team then stepped forward and carefully escorted the two national treasures into a bulletproof transport vehicle, heading straight for the National Museum.

……
At 5 PM, in the Shunyi Central Villa District, Building 19, Wang Manor.
After dealing with all the leaders and reporters who had left, Wang Ye finally returned home with his large entourage of female confidantes.
As soon as he entered the living room, before Wang Ye could even change his shoes...
As if they had planned it, Xu An'an, Liu Ruoxi, Lin Sa, and Alice rushed forward and tackled Wang Ye onto the large, soft leather sofa in the center of the living room!
"Oh my god! Are you planning to murder a national-level hero who protected this treasure?"
Wang Ye lay on his back on the sofa, with Xu An'an pressing against his chest, Alice sitting on his lap, and Liu Ruoxi holding his left arm in her arms. He was completely enveloped in a warm and soft embrace.
Xu An'an lay on Wang Ye's chest, pinching his cheeks with both hands, her big eyes filled with bright, adoring eyes.
"Wang, you great hero! Confess honestly, how much secret money have you been hiding from us?!"
"Donating 2.3 billion yuan like that, this director feels like he's not holding a man, but a mobile gold mine!"
Shen Zhiwei, who was standing next to him, also abandoned her usual reserve, walked to the sofa, and looked at Wang Ye with burning eyes.
"Chairman Wang, Director Chen from the National Museum called me today, saying that next week they will be holding a top-level special exhibition on the Diamond Sutra and the snake head at the National Museum, and they have granted our team special permission to go in and film an exclusive documentary!"
"To thank you for your great contributions to our cultural heritage community, I'll wear all those cosplay outfits you mentioned before for the photoshoot tonight!"
Upon hearing this, Wang Ye's eyes lit up instantly.
"Is that for real? Director Shen, you made this pledge in front of everyone. Anyone who goes back on their word tonight is a coward!"
Shen Zhiwei's cheeks flushed red, and she nodded gently.
Just then, Pei Nana, the operations director who had been standing to the side checking the data, walked over quickly in black stockings and high heels, her voice trembling with excitement.
"Chairman! It's incredible! Our account gained over 1.8 million followers this afternoon, and in less than two hours, the company's business inbox was flooded with collaboration invitations from hundreds of top international luxury brands and national-level enterprises!"
Wang Ye pushed Xu An'an off him, sat up, and said with a smile:
"No rush, I need to carefully select who I'm going to partner with."
"Not just any Tom, Dick, or Harry is qualified to cooperate with me."
