Chapter 778: Glory for the Nation
Before the show, Su Cha received a task.
Though it could not really be considered a task since it came from Yun Zu.
Elder Yun called her and told her, “Alliance Master Su, it’s time for you to bring glory to the country!”
Su Cha: “…”
Actually, her eyelids twitched when she saw the call from him. As expected, nothing good happened.
She sighed. “What is it?”
“Do you know about the Spring Festival Gala held in China every year?”
When they talked about serious matters, Yun Zu spoke more normally. “Originally, the plans for this year were all done being arranged, but there was a sudden change. At the beginning of next year, our country will hold a world cultural art exhibition with the United States, the United Kingdom, and dozens of other countries. There are many aspects to this exhibition. Due to the re-appearance of the Tang embroidery this year, the higher-ups had an idea. They want you to produce a Tang embroidery work. They want you to appear at the Spring Festival Gala first, and then submit it to the exhibition as a representative work of China next year. This is a matter of pride. Alliance Master, as a citizen of China, can you refuse?”
Su Cha: “…”
It was not difficult for her to embroider a piece of work, but the key was that she did not know how big it would be.
Su Cha had an ominous feeling about attending the Spring Festival Gala. “What kind of embroidery do you require?”
“You can decide what to do with the theme. It’s fine as long as you meet our country’s requirements. Isn’t next year the year of the monkey? Can’t you just do an embroidery related to a monkey? Let’s follow the national standards and make it about ten meters in length. How about that?”
“Ten meters!”
Su Cha almost vomited blood. “Do you think I’m a G.o.d? Am I supposed to only embroider for you before the Spring Festival Gala? Do I not also have to go to school or work?”
“Sigh…”
Yun Zu was also quite embarra.s.sed. “I think you can still do it with your strength. If you hurry up, I promise to compensate you properly. I’ve mentioned your matter to the others. If you do this embroidery, we will give you a reward of about 5 million. Of course, this is your reward. The work still belongs to you, this money is not payment for it. Also, if the official television station has any resources, they will give you a spot. Aren’t you also a celebrity? Isn’t this very beneficial to you?”
Su Cha: “I’ll think about it.”
But she changed her stance quickly and said three seconds later, “I agree.”
For a moment, Yun Zu did not know whether to be shocked that the Alliance Master of the Star Alliance would give in for money or rejoice that Su Cha had agreed.
After hanging up, Su Cha frowned.
She really agreed not because of money, but because even a fool would know not to give up the resources of the official television station.
At least, S’s ident.i.ty would bring benefits to her celebrity status, so she agreed.
Since Yun Zu said that it would be the Spring Festival Gala, she would hand it to him a few days before the new year.
There was not much time left. It would be the new year in three months.
Three months, ten meters…
Ordinary embroiderers could not do it at all. Yun Zu only asked her because he knew she used seven needles. She was thus much faster than others, but she still had other business to attend to.
She was at home with Bo Muyi. When Bo Muyi saw Su Cha pick up the phone, he looked a little troubled. He walked over and was b.u.t.toning his s.h.i.+rt. Su Cha saw that and helped him b.u.t.ton it. The man lowered his eyes. “What’s wrong? You seem to be in a bad mood.”
After b.u.t.toning his clothes, Su Cha shook her head. “I’m not in a bad mood.”
She took Bo Muyi’s coat and told him about what Elder Yun had said.
