Chapter 205 The Most Valuable Wealth
When facing Tong Tong, Geng Xiaoqing had already hidden all the humble expressions. She sat in front of Tong Tong and said calmly: "You will blame me, but I can't do anything. I need money. I need a position that everyone admires."
Tong Tong nodded silently and took a sip of water in a depressed manner.
"I know you'll blame me..."
"I don't blame you." Tong Tong said calmly: "I only blame myself, I haven't given you a better life."
As soon as these words came out, it seemed like they were one step closer to breaking up. Geng Xiaoqing bit his lip and said, "That Yin Xuyang, I will never see you again. If seeing him makes you feel bad."
"Xiao Qing... Compared to whether I am in a good mood, what you first consider is whether or not."
Tong Tong's eyes were very tired. Geng Xiaoqing stared at his eyes and suddenly felt very guilty. Those eyes were so bright, but they were very dim at this time. The reason for the dimness was her.
Tong Tong looked at the time and said, "I have something to do. I want to go to Professor Bai. You can go home by yourself later."
"... Today is not Saturday, why are you looking for him? Are you going to do the essay competition again?"
Tong Tong was vague and didn't explain it clearly. He picked up his cell phone and said to Geng Xiaoqing: "I took part of the settlement in the morning, and I transferred two thousand to you first. You just lost your job and had no living expenses. I was negligent. I'd just noticed it earlier."
Geng Xiaoqing had mixed feelings. She was just about to say that it was not easy for him, so it was difficult to ask him for money. But Tong Tong stood up and said he was going to the bathroom. His phone was placed on the table. Geng Xiaoqing took it over naturally, not because he was worried that he would have ambiguous relationship with other girls, but just wanted to see who he had talked to about these troubles with recently. It seemed that he chatted with several college classmates, but did not reveal any worries, but just asked them how they were doing, what was the employment environment in the big cities they lived in, what was the pressure of survival, etc.
Those classmates asked him without exception if he wanted to change jobs. With his ability, it would be fine to gain a foothold in a big city. Another person teased him - you are not engaged in your literary career? Is your dream of becoming a writer shattered?
Geng Xiaoqing recognized that person, he was the one who came to Hong Kong City last time to visit. Tong Tong replied seriously - he never thought of becoming a writer, but he would never give up on this literary career.
Tong Tong's appearance appeared in Geng Xiaoqing's mind - whenever he mentioned "Thorny", Tong Tong was particularly sincere, emphasizing again and again that it was the spiritual legacy of his father. Thinking of his serious appearance, Geng Xiaoqing couldn't help laughing. Serious boys are really charming.
Tong Tong also talked to Qijia. Qijia was his eldest brother, so Tong Tong did not hide it at all and said bluntly that he was asking for job opportunities for Geng Xiaoqing. Qijia also said bluntly: "Listen to my advice, Geng Xiaoqing is really not suitable for you. Her ambition is too great, you are suitable for finding a more gentle girl."
Tong Tong replied: "You don't know her, she also has a weak side and needs someone to take care of her."
Qi Jia replied with a "hehe" expression and said, "Compassion and love are two different things. Are you a person who is engaged in literature? Do you still need me to tell you the difference between the two?"
"I know, but sometimes I can't figure it out. Brother, if you have a good job opportunity, tell me. You know a lot of people and have a wide range of ways."
"Okay, I'll ask you. But, she dumped you by then, don't blame me for not reminding you."
Even when she was wandering on the verge of breaking up, Tong Tong was still thinking about how to find a job for her. How could Geng Xiaoqing not be moved? She knew very well that no one in this world would love her without reservation and without any demands like Tong Tong. She also loved Tong Tong, but she brought the Qi family on the blacklist.
The reason why Tong Tong went to see Professor Bai in a hurry was because Professor Bai was moving the office. In the morning, he sent a message to Professor Bai and made an appointment to find him tomorrow afternoon. However, Professor Bai told him that he would not have to come to Haida to find him in the future, and he could not continue to stay in Haida's office.
Tong Tong was puzzled: "What's going on? Isn't your junior brother the dean of Haida?"
"It's hard to say, I'm sorting out the things now."
Tong Tong could only leave the store to Xiao Jia again, and he went to help Professor Bai move things. Professor Bai had a lot of books, and it was definitely not easy for him to move, as an old man. Sure enough, when he arrived, Professor Bai was staggering in the sea of books. At this helpless moment, his old attitude became more obvious. After cleaning up for a while, he seemed to be tired and seemed to have forgotten to clean up. So he simply sat down and stared at the sea of books in a daze.
Tong Tong felt particularly sad. He pushed the door open, threw the bag aside, and then started to pack up. His favorite non-staff disciple came. Professor Bai was very happy, but said, "You still have to do business, what are you doing here?"
"You want to move the office, of course I need to help."
"You put it down first, do you know which books belong to mine and which ones belong to the school?"
"I know." Tong Tong said simply: "You like to take notes on your own books, but if it is a school book, you keep it clean and at most you can put a label as a mark."
Professor Bai nodded in praise: "Yes, your observation ability is so excellent, it would be a pity not to be a detective."
Everyone said this, but Tong Tong had never been numb. Because in his heart, he still retained the dream of a detective.
Tong Tong quickly looked through the books and divided them into two stacks. While sorting them out, he asked, "By the way, isn't your junior brother the dean of the outer courtyard? Can't he let you continue to use this office?"
"This office was used by an old professor. The old professor didn't come to school very much, but he occupied such an office. He felt bad and it was not good for outsiders to see it. He had a good relationship with my junior brother, so my junior brother asked him if he could move his things to an office for two people. He occasionally came to the school and went to that office. His roommate basically didn't come to the school either. The old professor was very good at speaking and agreed readily, so he moved to the office. I used this office with his name, and he knew it. He also told me to use it with confidence and boldness. Anyway, he could count the number of times he came to the school in one semester, so it would be better to give it to me and let me do research quietly."
Tong Tong exclaimed: "It's great to appreciate each other among scholars."
Professor Bai sighed, "Who said it was not? I am here, and I want to sort out the domestic literary trends in the past thirty years and do my best to study contemporary literature. This work is about to end, but my office is going to be taken back. Alas, moving these materials is a big project, and after such trouble, I won't have to start writing for several days."
"But you stayed well here and supported by the dean, who can drive you away?"
"This... I don't know. It's just yesterday that someone claimed to be from the logistics department and said he came to count the property assets and other things. It was fine before, but this time he asked me who I was and why I was here. It was too late when my junior brother came here. My junior brother said that he and the professor were scolded, and he could not lend me this house anymore."
Professor Bai bent his waist and said weakly: "I caused trouble for me. In the end, I apologized to me, and I feel even more sorry!"
Tong Tong felt uncomfortable, and he asked sympathetically: "Then... where will you do research in the future? Are you at home?"
"I can only do it at home for the time being." Professor Bai was very depressed: "Oh, my daughter is married, I don't want to disturb her, so I just want to go back and have a sleep. However, the world doesn't go as expected, and I still have to stay at her house."
"She is your daughter, not an outsider." Tong Tong briefly said a few words and said, "I happened to drive here. I'll send you back!"
"Then I'll trouble you."
If you want to talk about trouble, he doesn't know how many times he has troubled Professor Bai. He brought a few large cardboard boxes from the store, and Professor Bai praised him for his thoughtful thoughts. Tong Tong said shyly: "It's because he moved too many times and has brought out his experience. Incomplete statistics, since I graduated from graduate school in 2017, I have moved about six times."
"How could you move so many times?"
"Graduate, find a job, change the city..." Tong Tong laughed at himself: "Fate is more tortuous than me, I have never seen it."
"The bitterness comes after all, but the best comes. Although it is a comforting word, there is always a certain reason."
Tong Tong smiled slightly: "I borrow your good words."
With Tong Tong's help, Professor Bai's luggage moved very quickly. He said that his daughter was an English teacher at No. 2 Middle School and lived in the old city of Gangcheng. The road conditions there were very complicated and it would take a long time to drive. Professor Bai said sincerely: "I'm afraid it will take a lot of time for you, sorry."
"Professor Bai! Don't be polite to me anymore! If you continue, I will not dare to ask you for advice in the future."
Professor Bai laughed twice and said, "Actually, I have something to ask you."
"As long as I can do it, I will do my best."
"Your official account is called Tamang. I really want to know, does it have anything to do with the magazine from thirty years ago?"
Tong Tong thought for a while and said, "Yes, it is the relationship between inheritance and development."
Professor Bai nodded in praise: "I still remember, you seem to say, you have a thorn in your hand?"
"Well, I have always treasured what the senior high school class teacher gave to me."
Professor Bai said, "I want to borrow it for reading it, but I don't know if it's OK?"
Yes, it is OK, but that is the only relic of my father. Tong Tong is so precious that he is afraid that others will ruin it. Professor Bai looked embarrassed when he saw him, so he said sincerely: "The magazine existed very shortly, but this does not mean it is not important. Recently, I have been contacting my former friends to collect more information to understand the thoughts of those young literary people. I always feel that they have a certain impact on the development of the literary world. But I have to see their works to be more certain."
If so, will my father have a small place in the history of contemporary literature? Will his name be mentioned by young people who love literature?
