Branch 1:
[You: (without hesitation) Of course, no problem!]
[You: Director, please watch me! I promise to complete the tasks assigned to me by the organization and will never let down the organization's trust and expectations of me!]
You are full of confidence, and your self-assurance can't help but infect everyone in the restoration area.
Everyone knows that you come from a family of cultural relics restorers, and they guess that you may really have some inherited skills that no one else has learned, so they all relaxed and expressed their willingness to provide you with corresponding help at any time.
The curator couldn't help but smile as he saw how confident you were. He raised his hand and patted your shoulder, as if conveying some kind of unspeakable responsibility.
[Director: (speaking earnestly) Well, ____, since you are so confident about this matter, then I can rest assured.]
[Director: Do a good job! The future of this museum ultimately belongs to you young people——]
(You are inspired and feel your pressure doubled, while your confidence also soars. Your mental stress value +20, your self-confidence +10, and you continue to enter [Chapter : Dreaming of Broken Swords].)

Branch 2:
[You: (eyes evasive) Ah... who can say for sure about this kind of thing?]
[You: Director, all I can say is that I will try my best.]
[You: I will try my best to repair this piece of Han Dynasty silk, but don’t hold your hopes too high. After all, it has been buried under the sand for more than 2,000 years… Not only are the silk fibers very brittle, but it’s hard to say whether the silkworms can be found alive!]
You subconsciously touched your nose and avoided the curator's gaze, habitually trying to pass the blame on in advance.
——It is true that you want to restore the Han brocade, but no one dares to say whether something that has been buried in the soil for more than two thousand years can be restored to its original state.
To be on the safe side, you decide to clarify and divide the responsibilities as soon as possible - to avoid being punished for doing hard labor in vain if you fail to repair the Han brocade.
——You cannot bear the responsibility of damaging national treasures alone. You must find a way to share the responsibility.
[Director: (unable to hide his disappointment) I see.]
You were silently thinking about your own things in your mind, completely unaware of the increasingly dim eyes of the curator opposite you.
Later, the restoration of Han Brocade that you were in charge of was shelved for some reason. You were puzzled and wanted to ask the curator, but he turned you away.
(Because of casually passing the buck, he broke the heart of the curator and his colleagues, and ruined his bright future. Jump to ending three.)

Branch three:
[You: (with a serious expression and sincere eyes) To be honest, Director, I cannot guarantee that this matter will be completely safe on my own.]
[You: After all, the Han Dynasty brocade has been buried in the ground for more than 2,000 years. If we want to restore it, we may have to restore the Han Dynasty loom first.]
[You: Fortunately, this thing has a precedent in China... But even so, it is still difficult to perfectly restore this Han brocade.]
[You: (Turning to look at everyone, with a sincere look and a humble tone) Therefore, in the next few days, I probably still need your help... I hope that in the future, senior colleagues can give me advice - if this Han brocade can be restored to its original state, it will be the common glory of our provincial museum.]
Your remarks were generous and appropriate. You not only implicitly expressed your own concerns, but also unobtrusively transferred the credit to everyone in advance.
Everyone felt comforted after hearing this. If they meet you asking for help in the future, they will naturally remember what you said today and be willing to provide you with the necessary help.
In addition, everyone present knew that it was not easy to restore something that had been buried for more than 2,000 years. It was already very difficult for the researchers in Xin Province to restore the Han Dynasty loom and make a replica. If they wanted to restore the original Han brocade, the difficulty would be like climbing to the sky.
For some things, it is enough to say them in advance so that everyone understands them tacitly. There is no need to make them too clear.
[Director: (with no change in expression) OK, OK, ____, I understand what you mean.]
The curator's expression was as gentle as ever, and the smile on his lips seemed to have deepened slightly. You looked at him and curved your eyebrows as usual -
[Director: So, what is your attitude?]
You nodded seriously at the curator.
[You: (with a sincere expression) Although I can’t guarantee that it will be foolproof.]
[You: But I’m willing to do my best and give it a try!]
(Your modesty and generosity have won the recognition of everyone, including Han Jin Jing Soul. Everyone sincerely hopes that you can repair this Han Jin and is very happy to help you. Han Jin Jing Soul's favorability value +20, stability +10, and continue to enter [Chapter : Dreaming of Lan Ke].)

〈Ending 3: He ruined his bright future.〉
〈Because you were so focused on your own little agenda and passed the buck too casually, you broke the hearts of the director and all your colleagues.
The director thinks that you have a bad character and act too slickly. You are neither capable of taking on such a big responsibility nor suitable to continue working in a place like a museum with a relatively pure atmosphere.
So after much consideration, he decided to hand over this important task to someone else. Although he felt sorry for your good restoration skills learned from your grandfather, he did not dare to use them on you again.
Later, everyone worked hard in the restoration area for more than a month, but still could not find a way to restore it. In desperation, the curator could only bear the pain and send the Han brocade fragment to the new province with tears in his eyes. The climate there was more suitable for preserving such fabrics, and they also had more relevant restoration experience. He did this because he was afraid that this treasure would be completely destroyed here.
After this incident, whenever the curator saw you, he couldn't help but think of the Han brocade fragment that was given away, and your colleagues also often remembered the look on your face when you tried to shirk the responsibility, and became increasingly distant from you.
You sensed that everyone was alienating you, and you knew that this estrangement would be difficult to eliminate in this lifetime. Amidst the embarrassment, you reluctantly worked at the provincial museum for a few more years. Finally, you could no longer resist the invisible isolation, so you resigned and found a small town where no one knew you, and lived your life in a daze.
〈Ending: You deserve it.〉
〈Achievement: Wake up, there is no salvation for those who are courting death〉
〈Achieved the title: Q-elastic, firm and non-sticky〉
