In the morning, Qi Yun was woken up by the sound of his phone ringing.

"Hello, Qi Yun, several departments have already agreed to your proposal." On the other end of the call, Yu Qixuan sounded much more relaxed than the day before.

"When do you have time today? Let's finalize the procedures, and then you can hand over the meteorite to us. The Space Agency is urging us."

Qi Yun instantly became more alert; he had expected this outcome.

He raised his hand to check the time and replied, "Haha, thank you, Director Yu, for fighting for me; so let's meet at noon, 12 o'clock."

"Alright, meet me at the museum at 12 noon."

After hanging up, Qi Yun dialed the number of Liu Xiaotao from Guanghui Group.

"Hello, Mr. Liu, I apologize, but I can't sell that lunar meteorite to you anymore," Qi Yun said straightforwardly.

"Huh?" Liu Xiaotao was taken aback, then asked in surprise, "Why? If you don't agree to exchange for a house, I can offer two million in cash in a few days."

Qi Yun shook his head with a wry smile, "Sorry, it's not about the money." Then, he explained the museum's situation to Liu Xiaotao.

After hearing this, Liu Xiaotao was silent for a moment, then with some admiration in his voice, he said, "Mr. Qi, I really didn't expect you to make such a decision.

To be honest, I initially thought I could get that meteorite, but since you plan to donate it to the country, I can't say much. This kind of contribution to national research is commendable."

Qi Yun smiled and replied, "Thank you for understanding. I hope we can cooperate again in the future."

After hanging up, Qi Yun quickly got up and went to the bathroom to freshen up.

The breakfast Zhao Qing had prepared was on the table. While eating, he began to read today's reports.

[Today's Intelligence 1 (Red): Old Wang has learned the value of selling half of the 'Angong Niuhuang Pill' to the hospital from Little Yellow Hair, and plans to transfer the ownership of that three-story self-built house to you.]

"The house for me? Old Wang is quite generous this time."

After reading the content of the intelligence, Qi Yun shook his head and smiled wryly. Back then, he told Old Wang the pill was worth two thousand yuan just to avoid burdening him, but in the end, he still found out.

However, he definitely couldn't accept the house since he wasn't pursuing any benefit initially.

[Today's Intelligence 2 (Blue): A pigeon from Kashi was injured near Tobruk Village. The location device on its leg ring has failed due to battery exhaustion.

The owner of the pigeon is offering a reward of one million yuan to find it, Douyin account ******.]

[Today's Intelligence 3 (Red): A businessman from Chengdu is buying wild watermelons at a high price, contact number 189xxxx.]

*Hiss!*

"A million!"

Qi Yun took a deep breath. What kind of pigeon is this?

He immediately took out his phone to search for the opponent's account. The two latest videos posted were about the missing pigeon reward.

The video showed a picture of the pigeon, with grey feathers and some patterns on its back. According to the owner's description, this pigeon was from the Gaby pigeon line, meaning its lineage was extraordinary, and it had won awards in international competitions.

Now there's a one million yuan reward for finding this pigeon.

Qi Yun browsed through the other videos of the user, and the owner was a chubby Uighur guy, looking quite wealthy. He drove a Mercedes-Maybach, appearing to be a businessman.

"Offering one million, even if it were a dinosaur, I'd find it for you!"

As for the third piece of intelligence, it didn't catch much of his attention.

Wild watermelon, also known as caper, usually grows on desolate hillsides or in the Gobi Desert, and they are rare and hard to find.

A few years ago, he had seen them a few times, but now they seemed increasingly scarce. As for those sold online at tens of yuan per kilogram, whether they were truly wild was hard to judge.

After quickly eating some breakfast, Qi Yun took the lunar meteorite from the cabinet and put it into his bag, then drove straight to the museum.

It was a working day, and there weren't many people at the museum. Once the staff heard he was looking for Yu Qixuan, they directly led him to an office on the third floor.

The office door was half-closed. Qi Yun politely knocked on the door, and upon hearing Yu Qixuan's invitation to "please enter," he stepped inside.

Yu Qixuan was sitting at his desk, reviewing a stack of documents. Seeing Qi Yun come in, he immediately put down what he was holding and stood up to greet him.

"You're here, have a seat." Yu Qixuan warmly invited, pouring him a cup of tea.

"All the formalities are ready. You'll sign a document, and the meteorite will officially belong to the museum. As for the sixty thousand yuan compensation, it will be given to you within fifteen days by the museum." He took a folder from the desk and handed it to Qi Yun.

Qi Yun took the folder, carefully flipping through the contents, and seeing no issues, he picked up a pen to sign and leave his fingerprint.

After signing, he put away his copy in his bag, then took out the lunar meteorite and placed it on the desk: "Director Yu, do you want to check the meteorite one more time?"

Yu Qixuan smiled apologetically at him, "I have to take a quick look, just a routine check, don't mind it."

Qi Yun smiled and nodded, "I understand, please go ahead."

"Alright, have some tea first." Yu Qixuan said as he took the meteorite from the desk and started inspecting it behind his desk.

After a while, he put down the magnifying glass, a satisfied smile on his face: "The meteorite is perfect; it's very well-preserved. Your donation is of great significance to us. On behalf of the museum, I express our gratitude."
