Chapter Nine: Meeting Three Mysterious Old Men for the First Time
Three days later, it was the May Day, and as usual, only Wang Xiaobo was left in the dormitory to look after the house. Today was the day he and Xiaomei agreed to go to the lake to play, so he got up very early and had already dressed in Wenwei.
He was given the outfit and waited for Xiaomei to come to him. When he was bored, he picked up a book that the second brother had given him a few days ago and started reading it. According to the second brother, his aunt came from Hong Kong to read this book.
He missed it because it was all in English, and the second child couldn’t understand it. Knowing that Wang Xiaobo had been studying English by himself for four years at university, he asked him to read what kind of book it was. He didn’t care at the time. When he saw the title today, the translation
What is it called "Computer Networking - The World of the Future"? "Computer Networking"? What is the Internet? Wang Xiaobo didn't understand, so he had to bite the bullet and read on. But when he looked at it, it seemed that the author was a prophet, and he seemed to be a prophet.
It is a prophetic novel. I seem to have heard of the contents in it except for computers, which seem to be a kind of fast calculator, a little better than an abacus. I have never heard of other things such as the Internet, software, virtual world, etc., but the author asserts that the future will change with the advent of
Computers in thousands of households will be connected together and spread rapidly around the world. Even politics, economy, culture, etc., will be equally divided by such connected computers. Wang Xiaobo seems to believe it but not believes it, as if watching China
It was the same as the mythological novel "Journey to the West", so he came up with a strange equation for the book in his mind and wrote on the title page:
Internet + computer + software = Sun Wukong + monster + somersault cloud (one hundred and eight thousand miles)
When Wang Xiaobo was proud of his equation, Xiaomei came to him softly. Seeing him reading an English book, she screamed in surprise: "Ah, you are so great, you can also read English books."
Understand."
Wang Xiaobo saw that Xiaomei's face was a little darker after not seeing her for a few days, but she was healthier and more energetic, so he jokingly said: "Well, now that I'm tanned, I'm cuter."
Xiaomei was not modest at all: "She is cute in the first place, but some people are short-sighted."
Wang Xiaobo sweated profusely and hurriedly changed the topic and asked: "How have you been running these past few days? Have you gained much?"
Xiaomei rolled her eyes at him angrily, and then happily reported: "Ha, this business is really good, I don't give you a 1:1 exchange like you do, I exchange it at 20% off, 10% off, and they are grateful.
Not even. Three days, how much do you know? The net profit is fifty-six thousand three hundred and sixty yuan, sister, it’s not bad!”
"Can you imagine it with 20% off or 10% off? She is indeed a female monster." Wang Xiaobo joked convincingly.
"Okay, I'm a monster, and I want to eat people." Xiaomei climbed up when she saw the pole. As she spoke, she pounced on her with all her teeth and claws. Wang Xiaobo dodged and Xiaomei jumped into the air. She was about to fall. Wang Xiaobo quickly stretched out his hand to lift her up.
Softly, an electric current spread throughout her body like an electric shock in her hand, and her lower body reacted immediately. Xiaomei also groaned and collapsed in his arms. At the same time, she felt as if a screwdriver was stuck in her lower abdomen. She stretched out her hand to touch it.
I knew what it was. Suddenly I remembered a story I heard not long ago. It was about a sister-in-law who sold a handful of bananas to crowd the bus. As soon as she got on the bus, the bananas were squeezed out. In her busy schedule, she reached out and
I just happened to catch a banana. I thought there was still one left, but the banana in my hand was gradually getting hard. My sister-in-law said to herself, you have reached maturity and you still want to slip away, so she held on tighter. When I arrived at the station, next to me
The young man blushed and said, "Sister-in-law, I'm getting out of the car." The sister-in-law said, "What do you care about me when you get out of the car." The young man said, "But you grabbed my banana and didn't let go." The sister-in-law lowered her head.
He blushed and said, "Ah, why did my banana end up in your crotch?"
Xiaomei smiled and told him the story, and Wang Xiaobo also laughed.
Xiaomei's joke slowly calmed down Wang Xiaobo's unbearable lust. In fact, Xiaomei didn't want to have a more substantial relationship with him. She had already thought that no matter whether he gave her a status or not, she would eventually be his.
The problem is that he is in the student dormitory of Southern University. At that time, the punishment of male-female relations in the school was extremely serious. As his woman, there is no need to ruin his political future and career for a moment of happiness.
Educational qualifications. After all, she had experienced having sex for a long time, and knew that at this critical moment, she could only use this method to distract his attention and slowly appease his growing enthusiasm.
Wang Xiaobo was such a person. Of course he understood Xiaomei's mood. He glanced at her gratefully and secretly said that such a smart and infatuated woman would never let her down in this life.
Seeing that his breathing was slowly and steadily, Xiaomei secretly said, "Guilty", and then reported: "The cost was 14,000 yuan, plus the profit of more than 56,000 yuan, a total of more than 70,000 yuan. I have put this much money in my hands."
Here, I am always on tenterhooks and scared just thinking about it, how should I deal with it?" She then patted the travel bag she had placed on the table when she came in.
Wang Xiaobo was surprised and wanted to laugh, but he held it back. He thought that this little girl really put so much money in her travel bag and was not afraid of danger when she carried it with her. You must know that there were no hundred dollar bills at that time, and the largest bill was ten dollars.
Yuan, 70,000 yuan is equivalent to 700,000 yuan today. Think about how spectacular and scary it is for Xiaomei to carry this big bag of banknotes every day. Wang Xiaobo thought for a while and said: "In this way, put 20,000 yuan here with me, and keep it."
Set up 15,000 yuan and continue to make expenses, send 5,000 yuan to your mother, and deposit the rest in your name in the bank. From now on, the money you earn every day will be put into this passbook, saving you the worry of carrying a big bag every day, probably
Haven't you slept well in the past three days?"
This time it was Xiaomei's turn to be surprised: "Didn't you say you would give me fifty yuan a day? Why did you give my mother so much money? There are still more than thirty thousand yuan deposited in the bank in my name? You - you -."
"I changed my mind. This is the development fund we share. Besides, your mother is sick and your brother has to go to school. If you don't solve your worries, how can you work wholeheartedly? In the future, when you have a certain amount of capital, you will still have to take the lead in starting a company.
Start an industry. Maybe you will become a well-known rich woman, a real boss, or an industrialist in the future." Wang Xiaobo planned her life and described her future.
Xiaomei was lucky to have met such a good man. She wanted to express her gratitude, but when her words came to her lips, she turned into: "Can I do it?"
"Okay! Isn't this already a big step forward on the road to becoming an industrialist?" Wang Xiaobo encouraged.
"I listen to you, the only way out is to follow the party." Xiaomei said happily.
Wang Xiaobo also became serious at this time, like a thoughtful strategist, looking far out the window and saying word by word: "The future is bright, but the road is tortuous. It is necessary to have lofty ideals, but to
Realization requires one step at a time and hard work. I think we should set a short-term goal first. The exchange of construction bonds can only be done for one to two months at most. On January 16 this year, the State Council began to issue treasury bonds. People
Your investment philosophy will change, and the market will react immediately. Therefore, you must step up your efforts to run units within more than a month and strive to reach 300,000. This way we will have capital for the next project."
Xiaomei stared blankly at Wang Xiaobo talking, like a general commanding thousands of troops, calm and determined. This man, who is a few years younger than her, actually has the same economic vision as before. He can not only see the work
He can make huge business profits by building bonds, and he can also predict future market trends. This can only be attributed to his knowledge. It seems that knowledge is really a good thing. She wants to study one day to keep up with him.
The idea is to be a good woman by his side.
The two of them didn't say much. After Wang Xiaobo took out 20,000 yuan from her travel bag and put it away, he took her to the bank on his bicycle and deposited 30,000 yuan for her, which was regarded as opening a bank account. Then he went to the post office.
She sent five thousand yuan to her mother, and then the two happily went to the lake to play for most of the day.
The next day, as usual, it was time for work. He got up early in the morning and ran five kilometers and did a set of boxing. When he was about to take a shower, he was stopped by Jin Limin, the chief of the security department, and asked him to go to the principal's office. Finally.
He didn't forget to follow up with: "You kid, must you have gotten into trouble again?" The flesh on his face trembled, making people shudder. Wang Xiaobo ignored him and went to the principal's office.
When he walked into the principal's office tremblingly, he saw the principal sitting there kindly and dignifiedly, and a young man stood respectfully next to him. It was the first time for him to enter the principal's office, and he couldn't help but feel a little nervous: "Principal
, are you looking for me?”
"Oh, it's Wang Xiaobo? Li Jianfeng's fifth brother. I heard there is another nickname called the genius Wang Xiaobo, right?" the principal asked teasingly.
As soon as Wang Xiaobo heard the principal mention the name of the governor's son, he knew that it would not be detrimental to him, so he regained his original confidence and said loudly, "Report to the principal that the students are not talented and are waiting for instructions."
The principal waved his hand and said with a smile: "You boy——. By the way, there is an old Mr. Gu, do you know him?" The young man next to him saw him stunned, and quickly interjected: "You asked Grandpa to let the chief ask you
Go there, the car is waiting outside."
Wang Xiaobo suddenly remembered the old man he met in the park in the middle of the street that day. His surname seemed to be Gu, and he recognized his grandfather and knelt down to worship him. Thinking about it today, he felt really ashamed. It had been almost a month and he hadn't even visited him once.
He hurriedly said: "I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed. I've wanted to visit you for a long time, but I've been busy with my affairs and haven't been able to make the trip for a long time. I'm really scared."
"Wang Xiaobo, is the Chinese department always losing its relevance all the time?" the principal mocked. The young man couldn't help but laugh out loud. Wang Xiaobo also giggled for no reason, as if he was not the one laughing.
The principal looked at him silently, thinking that at such a young age, this boy was really wise and foolish. Even Mr. Gu came to invite him. It seemed that this boy really lived up to his reputation as a "genius" and his future would be limitless. Just be kind.
He said quietly: "Okay, this is Mr. Gu's police officer. The car is outside. You just go with him."
When Wang Xiaobo heard about Mr. Gu's background as a police officer, although he was a little nervous, he could only follow the young man into the car. On the way, he asked to stop and sold a basket of fruits, but the young man didn't care.
Just looked at him with a smile.
When we arrived at the door of Gu's house, the scene was very different from the last time we came to his house. Not only were there police cars, but there were also many plainclothes and police officers. Wang Xiaobo became even more nervous at this time. Who is this Gu Yimin? He suddenly remembered that more than ten days ago,
A notice about Gu Yimin's rehabilitation published in the "People's Daily". Is this Gu Yimin the other Gu Yimin? Is he really one of the founders of the Republic? Wang Xiaobo shook his head helplessly and followed the young man through the place where he was last time.
The garden of stone benches and stone tables enters a living room on the first floor.
In the living room, Gu Yimin and an old man about his age wearing a military uniform were discussing something seriously. There was a newspaper spread out in front of him. Gu Yimin pointed at the newspaper from time to time. After Wang Xiaobo came in, he saw that the young man also
Without sending a message, he turned around and walked out. But he had no choice but to timidly call out: "Grandpa."
As soon as Gu Yimin saw Wang Xiaobo, he straightened his face and said, "Well, Wang Xiaobo, you won't come to see me after you recognize grandpa? Tell me, what are you doing these days?"
"Ah! Grandpa, I'm so sorry. Firstly, I'm nervous about studying; secondly, I don't dare to trouble grandpa all the time. Forgive me, forgive me." Wang Xiaobo hurriedly held up the fruit respectfully.
Gu Yimin waved his hand and waited for the young man who sent him in to take the fruit. After closing the door and going out, he asked again: "Nervous about studying? Tell me what you have learned these days? Report to grandpa."
Wang Xiaobo thought that he had indeed learned something in the past month, so he reported it truthfully: "I learned the planting techniques of shiitake mushrooms and black fungus, and also conducted trial planting and achieved success. I thought about some theoretical issues.
, I wrote some learning experiences, which can be regarded as an improvement in the cultivation of a party member."
"Why did you, a student, become interested in mushrooms and black fungus?" the old man in military uniform asked with interest.
"My hometown is in a mountainous area, and the people there are very miserable. When I learned that there is a certain foreign trade market for mushrooms and black fungus, I wanted to grow mushrooms and black fungus according to local conditions to help people get rid of poverty and become rich. I will graduate in two months.
"It doesn't make much sense to stay in the provincial capital. It's better to go back to the land where I was born and raised to do something practical." Wang Xiaobo expressed his thoughts realistically.
Gu Yimin nodded frequently and said to the old soldier: "Mr. Bu, I think this guy has something to offer?"
Mr. Bu nodded frequently and said, "That's right. He wants to do things for the people before he graduates. He is indeed a talent that can be made. Moreover, he has a good understanding of the market. It is even more rare to have economic acumen." Mr. Bu praised him.
After a while, he changed the topic and asked: "I heard that you are still doing some theoretical research. What do you think of the recent discussion that practice is the only criterion for testing truth?"
Wang Xiaobo scratched his head and thought, isn't this the problem I have spent a lot of hard work on? He glanced at the newspaper casually. The title "Practice is the only criterion for testing truth is the viewpoint of Marx's materialism" came into view.
It was the same as the title of the political paper he sent to the newspaper. Wang Xiaobo understood that his article had been published and he had no way out. He could only move forward fearlessly.
"As long as a party member has no doubt about the proposition that practice is the only criterion for testing truth, due to the influence of that special era, people's worship of great men has reached an unprecedented level, and their understanding of the truth has also been deviated. Thinking of great men
It is the embodiment of truth, and the instructions of great men are the will of truth, so following the established guidelines becomes the only standard. If we just follow the steps and stick to the rules, can science still develop? Can history still progress?
"Since that special era has been proven wrong by practice and is a historical retrogression, then why do we dare not admit that this was a mistake in the history of our party; it was a manifestation of idealism by a great man limited by history; why do we still go against our will?
Do you want to follow the established guidelines? Especially Erfan is outright idealism."
Wang Xiaobo then talked eloquently, pointing the finger at following the established policy. His language was sharper, bolder, and more direct. He started from Chinese and foreign history, cited extensive evidence, and systematically discussed the historical limitations of great men. The final conclusion was that he should follow the established policy.
Policy management is by no means a Marxist materialist point of view. It is a manifestation of idealism and must be a stumbling block to historical development.
The two old men listened to his tirade in silence for nearly ten minutes without interrupting him. At the end, they looked at each other, then turned their faces, looked at him in surprise, and remained silent for a long time. At this time, they came from the side room.
A short old man ran out of the room and walked towards him with the same kind face. When Wang Xiaobo saw it, he was even more unbelievable. Isn't this the legendary old man who was all-powerful? He was both excited and a little nervous.
The short old man took the initiative to shake hands with him and said: "Young people are terrible. We really need to get rid of superstition, emancipate our minds, and boldly pioneer and innovate. You are right. This is what I have learned from leaders at all levels these days.
I have repeatedly emphasized the point of seeking truth from facts. A year ago, I said it was time to draw conclusions on a number of historical issues since the founding of our party. Mr. Gu, Mr. Bu should seize the time to revise this "Resolution" and strive to do it before the National Day.
It was passed at the Third Plenary Session of the CPC Central Committee, which also brought an end to this debate."
Wang Xiaobo suddenly met the three mysterious old people, and a sense of awe arose spontaneously, and he no longer dared to boast.
