Chapter 494: Sister Lan’s toughness is known to the world! [2 more]
With a loud bang, like a bolt from the blue, Cleo's mind went blank.
He fell uncontrollably into his office chair, his face turning pale.
"Pack up his things immediately and get him out of here." Darien turned around and ordered his subordinates, "Also, not only the World Heritage applications he approved, but also all other tasks that have passed through his hands must be thoroughly investigated, and all those that fail to meet the requirements must be cancelled."
The subordinate nodded and said loudly: "Yes, Vice President!"
After confirming that Darian was not joking and was serious, Cleo was now completely panicked.
In just two years, he will be able to retire safely with a high pension and live the rest of his life without worries.
But if he was fired, all his decades of hard work would be in vain!
Not only money, but also status, power, glory...all will be wiped out.
This was completely unacceptable to him.
"Vice President Darien, I know I was wrong. I will withdraw the applications from the Southern Ming Principality right now." Cleo spoke incoherently, "I was also possessed by a ghost. I definitely did not mean to exploit loopholes. Please forgive me."
"Do you know you're wrong now?" Darien leaned forward slightly and smiled. "No, you don't know you're wrong. You're regretting that all your resources have disappeared and you got nothing after all the hard work."
Cleo's eyes widened and his face turned even paler.
All his inner thoughts were ruthlessly revealed by Darien, which made him very embarrassed and awkward.
As Cleo was carried out of the office, his head was buzzing.
Just as Darien said, at this moment he felt more regretful than ever before.
If he had respected culture, did not accept benefits privately, and did not approve the application of the Southern Ming Principality for the Lantern Festival and other Chinese traditions, would the result have been different?
Inside the office, the assistant also collapsed on the ground, staring at Darien with stiff eyes as he left, his thoughts in a state of confusion.
The application of the Lantern Festival by the Southern Ming Principality for World Heritage status was placed at the World Cultural Heritage Center. It was indeed a matter so small that the top leaders had no time to take care of it.
But Darien came in person and acted ruthlessly.
But when did Darien, a native of Global Center and a descendant of the Stewart family, become involved with Shenzhou?
If this incident was done by the Si family, then they could still understand it.
After all, the Si family is a family that migrated from Shenzhou to the global center three hundred years ago, so it is understandable that they favor Shenzhou.
And why Darien Stewart?
Is there some unspeakable secret behind this?
When someone told this matter to Stratton Foss, another vice-president, he was also thinking about this question.
"Deputy Dean, you are worrying too much." A middle-aged man laughed and said, "Darian graduated from the Chinese Language and Literature Department of Shenzhou University. He likes Shenzhou culture. It is normal for him to come out and speak out for this matter."
Hearing this, Traton's frown relaxed: "Yes, three years ago he was very inconspicuous, but three years later he is already at the same level as me. He can even use this incident to make friends with Shenzhou. No wonder he did this."
"The deputy dean doesn't have to worry." The middle-aged man continued, "Although Darien is a genius, his qualifications are far inferior to yours. The Stewart family has always opposed his involvement in cultural research. He will not pose any threat to you in the competition for the dean next year."

Here, Darian left the office building and took out his cell phone.
[Cultural Person]: Let’s make a quick decision. I have already asked that idiot to get out of here. I will have the official announcement of the withdrawal of the application for World Heritage status soon.
【YN】：Thank you.
[The Richest Man in the World]: Do you need financial support? I can pause all channels and play this news in a loop.
【Cultured person】：???
[Brother Fighting Ghosts]: Our Youqian Sister has never been shy about spending money on Sister YN!
Ye Wanlan put down his phone, his eyes slightly cold.
It’s not like she hadn’t seen some comments online saying – “It’s just a World Heritage application, let them apply. Anyway, it will be clear who owns the Lantern Festival.”
Yes, one or two years may not cause any impact, but what about ten or twenty years or even one or two hundred years?
If we don’t stop and resist, will these cultural traditions that originally belonged to China really be plundered in the future?
Therefore, these applications must be withdrawn, and she will never give in. "Alan, fortunately you are here." Hua Yingyue exhaled softly, "Otherwise I dare not imagine what the consequences of cultural theft will be."
"This is also the reason why I founded Wantianqing." Ye Wanlan looked out the window and closed his eyes. "Everyone in the world knows that Shenzhou has experienced a devastating war. Yingyue, after the war, Shenzhou has actually suffered even greater hardships and pains."
Robbers came from all directions to plunder gold, silver and antiques.
If they are small, just throw them all into a sack and take them away by car.
If they are too big to carry, break them into pieces and pack them up for transportation.
How could Hua Yingyue not know the cruelty of war? She clenched her fists and said, "What a bunch of robbers!"
"Besides, it is far from enough to stick to our culture." Ye Wanlan looked into the distance, "From ancient times to now, I have only believed in one sentence."
Truth only stands on the tip of a knife.
It's time for the strategic blueprint in "The Book of Apocalypse" to become a reality.

At this time, the crew of "Qian Qiu Sui" and Ye Huien from MN were also at the Global Center, participating in a promotional live broadcast.
"The Lantern Festival originated from the ancient civilization of the Nanming Principality. It is a unique activity for the people of the Nanming Principality during the Lantern Festival." Ye Huien smiled, "So we will focus on filming the Lantern Festival in the drama."
Before the host had a chance to speak, Nie Shuangyi had already started to speak slowly: "But if I remember correctly, the Southern Ming Principality did not exist two thousand years ago, right?"
Ye Huien's face darkened.
"The Burning Lantern Festival has a history of more than 2,000 years." Nie Shuangyi said, "How did it become your unique activity?"
The host did not stop it this time. On the contrary, they enjoyed such conflicts as they could gain more attention and hype.
"Ms. Nie, as a new actor, it's good to have a temper, but you also need someone to back you up." Ye Huien chuckled and said meaningfully, "I admit that Shengyu is indeed very powerful, but unfortunately, as long as the Lantern Festival is our festival tradition, you have no chance of winning."
Nie Shuangyi smiled slightly: "Miss Ye, I still say that, these are our things, no matter what you do, you can't steal them, it's useless."
"Oh?" Ye Huien asked, "Do you have the approval of the Cultural Center?"
"My boss has been busy lately and has no time to take care of this absurd thing. He only asked me to pass on a few words to Miss Ye and the MN agency behind you." Nie Shuangyi said, "No matter how you imitate, how you use loopholes to be the first to apply for the Lantern Festival and other Chinese traditions to be listed as world heritage, you will always be just thieves and bandits who can never show up on the stage."
[Who is the boss of Shengshi Entertainment? He is so good at talking, well said! ]
[I heard that Shengyu had a new boss last year, but the new boss is very mysterious and has never shown up.]
[From this moment on, I am a die-hard fan of Shengyu's boss! ]
"You...!" Ye Huien's expression changed and his face turned red. "I say again, the Lantern Society is an eternal tradition of the Southern Ming Principality and has nothing to do with Shenzhou! You are the thieves."
"I understand, because the boss also said..." Nie Shuangyi nodded, "If you keep trying to cover your ears and steal the bell for too long, you will deceive yourself. But it's enough for you to deceive yourself. Don't think you can really deceive everyone in the world."
[What is this actress from Shenzhou saying? Hui En is right, the Lantern Festival is a tradition of our Nanming Principality! ]
[Let the World Cultural Center speak! Let's see who it belongs to! Give these arrogant Shenzhou people a slap in the face, and they will know clearly! ]
However, at this moment, the live broadcast screen suddenly changed.
[??? What's going on? Why is there a ghost in broad daylight? ]
[The previous one, this is because you are ignorant. This is an urgent news broadcast by Global Times. ]
【What big thing is going to happen today? 】
"Attention, this is an urgent notice from the World Cultural Heritage Center!" The announcer on the screen reported in a serious tone, "Today, the headquarters has revoked the application of the Southern Ming Principality for the Lantern Festival and other Shenzhou traditions. In the future, it is also forbidden to appropriate other countries' traditions for world heritage applications. This is hereby announced!"
Ye Huien sneered: "Miss Nie is very sharp-tongued, what a pity..."
Thank you for your votes and rewards, see you tomorrow~~
