"You are still smarter when you are old. You must have learned a lot now, right?" After listening to Liang Ying's story, Bai Shuo was also very impressed by Liang Minqi's methods.
Liang Ying shook her head: "I have also looked away. Although I have lost control of the Liang Group, and even said that my influence on Hong Kong Island is not as good as before, but on the other hand, I have not suffered any big losses. It just so happens that I have less of those now
Without the burden of being old-fashioned, I am free to do what I want to do.”
Speaking of this, Liang Ying smiled and said happily to Bai Shuo: "In the future, we brothers can fight together again."
Bai Shuo was also very happy. He punched Liang Ying hard and patted Kevin and others on the shoulders: "Okay, let's work together as brothers to give him a big fight. My plan for a new technological city
You are also welcome."
Suddenly, Bai Shuo thought of something again and asked Liang Ying: "By the way, after all these twists and turns, what happened between you and Wen Shan?"
Liang Ying sighed and told Bai Shuo that after this incident, Yue Wenshan knew that she had been used and hurt by others and felt very guilty. Liang Ying felt that during this period, she and Yue Wenshan were also drifting apart.
Maybe it was because he could get to know each other better after the passion faded. Liang Ying felt that the relationship between him and Wen Shan was more likely to be the innocent love from childhood and was not suitable for living together.
So Liang Ying took the initiative to propose to Wenshan that they should calm down and re-examine the relationship. Although Yue Wenshan was very reluctant to let go, she felt that she could not face Liang Ying for a while, so she agreed to the proposal with tears.
"Then you just broke up without saying goodbye?" Cao An said it directly.
Liang Ying nodded: "That's right. As for what happens in the future, it all depends on fate..."
At this time, Cao An actually asked Bai Shuo again: "Brother Shuo, what is going on between you and Sister Zhen?"
Bai Shuo did not expect that Cao An would bring the topic to him. He smiled bitterly and said that his current relationship with Li Zhen was like that of Liang Ying, and it was considered a breakup without saying goodbye.
Liang Ying laughed loudly: "Haha, it seems that we really have the same problem, and we are quite destined."
Bai Shuo immediately shuddered: "Go away...who is destined to you..."
At this time, the bonfire outside the house suddenly became lively. It turned out that it was Xiao Ma, Qiangzi, Jia Fei and the others who got chatting, and it turned into each giving public speeches on their views on future economic development.
Just now, it was Brother Ma who talked about his views on the future of the Internet economy, which aroused the agreement of many people.
"Let's go, let's join in the fun..."
At Xiao Zhen's suggestion, Bai Shuo and Liang Ying also walked out of the small building and mingled with everyone.
Bai Shuo settled a matter on his mind, felt everyone's enthusiasm, and became very excited. After eating a few pieces of barbecue and having a few drinks with Xiao Zhen, Liang Ying and others, he took advantage of the wine to
I also had a long talk with everyone.
Bai Shuo talked about the rise of the Chinese nation in recent years from today's anniversary ceremony, and finally looked forward to the future: smartphone research and development, e-commerce innovation, mobile payment, electronic money, technology new city planning, artificial intelligence applications... and told everyone
Gotta get excited.
After Bai Shuo finished speaking, Cao An was the first to jump out and encourage everyone to have a drink.
Then he suggested: "Today is a special day. It is a day to commemorate the deceased and express condolences. At the same time, everyone is happy to see the new appearance of the disaster area, feel the unyielding power of China, and witness one miracle after another. In ancient times, Li Bai
There are hundreds of poems about drinking and drinking. Today, we may not compose poems, but how about using the excitement of drinking to express our remembrance of the deceased or our prospects for the future in our own special way?"
Cao An's proposal was approved by many people, but no one was the first to stand up.
Cao An saw that no one responded proactively, so he said that he would be the guest host and would make arrangements by calling names.
Cao An immediately looked at Brother Ma and others. Brother Ma immediately waved his hand: "I don't have any talents. I have already told everyone about my future prospects. How about I pass the test?"
Cao An had no choice but to look at Nie Dong again and said: "You people in Shengshi Huazhang are all versatile, why don't you come first."
Nie Dong also hurriedly declined: "At the previous concert, Chen Bing, Duan Lei, and I had already sung songs. It's impossible to sing them again now, right?"
Well...that makes sense, and Cao An couldn't find a reason to refute it for a while.
Just as he was about to order another person, Chen Bing stood up and said: "That's not necessarily the case. In fact, there was a pretty good dance program that was not performed at today's concert. It just so happened that our two newcomers were also there. Let them show it now.
.”
Amid everyone's expectations, Duan Lei played background music on the farm's speakers. Two newly discovered newcomers from Shengshi Huazhang came to the bonfire and danced.
The theme of this dance is to commemorate the victims of the earthquake and express grief. The dance skills of the two are very good, and the cooperation is flawless. Although it lacks the support of choreography, in such an environment and against the backdrop of the bonfire, there is something else.
Taste.
After that, Liang Ying, with the encouragement of everyone, found a harmonica and played the song "Voice of a Prodigal Son" on the spot. The plaintive melody and the whine of the harmonica echoed in the empty farm, arousing the resonance of many people.
.
With a good start, everyone's enthusiasm was aroused. Next, some people sang songs, some showed calligraphy and painting works, and some talked about their personal experiences in the earthquake... Cao An himself was also under everyone's supervision.
Here comes a Fat Man breakdancing performance.
When the atmosphere was at its highest, Cao An actually made a joke about Nangong Ming while drinking, and forced Nangong Ming to perform a show.
Bai Shuo wanted to stop him, but Nangong Ming smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. Cao An also said that today is a special day, so we should express it."
After hearing what Nangong Ming said, everyone became quiet and waited expectantly for Nangong Ming's performance.
Nangong Ming stood out from the crowd and thought for a moment: "Singing... I'm tone deaf."
"Dancing...I'm old and can't dance anymore..."
At this time, everyone burst into laughter. No one expected that Nangong Ming would have such an interesting side.
Nangong Ming continued: "I have always liked to study ancient books on poetry. How about I compose an impromptu poem today."
Since no one had composed an impromptu poem at the scene, everyone immediately cheered. After everyone calmed down, Nangong Ming calmly composed a poem and said:
The dust and smoke that shake the earth are far away from the sky, and the God of Heaven covers his hands to create coolness.
The sea is angry for no reason, and the three rivers are moving, and the river is roaring with hundreds of waves.
There is much turmoil in the cities and towns everywhere, and the whole country is mourning and hesitating.
My eyes are covered with sores and my heart is broken. When will I return to my hometown after leaving this place?
…
As soon as the last sentence was uttered, the crowd burst into cheers again, attracting many praises.
Xiao Zhen and Bai Shuo said: "Uncle Ming's seven-rhythm poem is majestic and the balance between oblique and oblique lines is neat and tidy, which is really rare nowadays."
Nangong Ming seemed to have heard Xiao Zhen's comment, and suddenly looked at Xiao Zhen and said: "Secretary Xiao, I was just throwing some light on things, is it your turn to appear in this master's house next?"
Xiao Zhen was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Since Uncle Ming said that I am the master, it is natural that he should make more concessions."
As he spoke, Xiao Zhen walked out from Bai Shuo, Liang Ying and others, smiled and said to everyone: "Uncle Ming's masterpiece just now has neat rhythm and profound attainments, which demonstrates our traditional Chinese culture. I am not talented, but I also want to
Uncle Xueming composed an impromptu poem."
Xiao Zhen's words aroused everyone's surprise. Nangong Ming originally liked ancient books and classics, so it was not surprising that he wrote one or two poems. But Xiao Zhen, the county party secretary with a military background, actually wanted to engage in "composing poems" as a young talent.
"Old-fashioned" things make everyone feel strange.
Even Cao An, the guest host, was amazed: "Brother Zhen can actually compose poetry? We are in for a real treat today!"
Bai Shuo also said with great expectation: "Maybe there is a lot about Brother Zhen that we don't know..."
Xiao Zhen glanced slightly at the guests present, recalling everything since the earthquake. Then he looked up at the bright moon in the sky, a breeze blew across his face, and his heart suddenly moved, and he wrote a poem:
The moon shines on thousands of mountains and in all directions, and the blue wind carries the moon across the Sichuan River.
Last year there was a lot of resentment in the Min River, but this year the three rivers are empty in mourning.
Although I rejoice in the new splendor of my hometown, I still miss the old appearance of the deceased.
The sons and daughters of Bashu have great ambitions to reorganize the country and renew the old chapter.
…
At the end of the poem, the crowd cheered again.
Xiao Zhen felt ashamed and said: "I'm showing off my ugliness, I'm showing off my ugliness. I'm not very accomplished. I'm just learning to put together a few sentences. It's far behind Uncle Ming's."
Nangong Ming smiled and said: "Secretary Xiao is too modest. You care about the mountains and rivers and the people. In terms of the profound meaning of this poem, it is much better than me... Haha."
At this time, Bai Shuo's phone rang. After just one glance, Bai Shuo showed a surprised expression and quickly entered the small building to find a quieter place.
It turned out to be a call from Secretary Wu who was next to Director No. 2. Secretary Wu told Bai Shuo on the phone that the plan for the new science and technology city had been approved by several departments. Because it was considered too important, it finally went to Director No. 2. Director No. 2
I am very interested in the idea of this new technological city, but I also have many questions and concerns. I want Bai Shuo to rush to the Imperial Capital as soon as possible and report the situation in person.
Bai Shuo was very shocked. He didn't expect that in just a few months this year, he would be lucky enough to meet the leader many times. Moreover, this meeting was of great importance and extraordinary.
After agreeing on the details with Secretary Wu, Bai Shuo walked out of the small building again. Xiao Zhen, Liang Ying and others had noticed something strange before, and now they also gathered around to ask about the situation.
When they heard that Director No. 2 was also concerned about the plan for the New Science and Technology City, they were all shocked, and of course they were very happy.
Xiao Zhen said to Bai Shuo seriously: "You have to prepare well. It is not easy to meet the leader. Seize the opportunity."
Liang Ying also patted Bai Shuo on the shoulder: "Come on, it seems that your wish to attend the meeting in the Imperial City Hall is not too far away..."
After some pleasantries, Nangong Ming wanted to explain something to Bai Shuo alone.
Xiao Zhen and others left with understanding and merged into the guests again, leaving a small independent space for the two of them.
Nangong Ming said meaningfully to Bai Shuo: "This is a test for you by the chief. Whether your grand plan can succeed may depend on this defense. If you succeed, there will be no obstacles in the future. If you fail,
, this plan is likely to fail..."
Bai Shuo smiled confidently: "Uncle Ming, if it were before, maybe I would feel a little panicked and hesitant. But after experiencing so much, today I am confident that I can pass the test of the chief. Don't worry, I will definitely do it.
Let this plan be implemented smoothly.”
Nangong Ming nodded and pointed slightly at the many guests: "You are no longer fighting alone today. They will all be your help and arms in the future."
Following Nangong Ming's pointer, Bai Shuo stepped forward slightly and looked around. In addition to Xiao Zhen, Liang Ying, Chen Bing, Nie Dong and other close friends, there were also Anna, Cao An, Zhong Pengcheng, Zhu Zhu, Li Zhen, Xiao
Lin, Tian Yu, Yu Jialiang... and a large number of loyal comrades who assist him. He is also accompanied by Xiao Ma Ge, Wang Lang, Qiangzi and other figures who are destined to become big bosses in the Chinese economy in the future, as well as other people from all walks of life.
There are countless talented people and leaders...
It can be said that in the land of China, this is a force that no one can underestimate.
At this time, Nangong Ming asked behind Bai Shuo: "As you grow step by step, the enemies we will face in the future will also be extraordinary existences. What you are about to enter may be a completely different world from what you usually know."
world. Are you ready?"
Bai Shuo nodded again, looked at Nangong Ming resolutely, and said resolutely: "I have been preparing for a long time. No matter how difficult the years are, I will eventually go upstream."
(End of Volume 2)
Final words:
During the epidemic in 2020, I was bored and read two novels on the platform. At that time, I suddenly thought that I usually have many good plots in my mind, why not create a novel of my own. So I came up with "Inverse"
The novel "Years".
During the epidemic period, I wrote a total of about 700,000 words. After the official publication, I was busy revising and saving the manuscript, and at the same time, I wrote more than 300,000 words intermittently. Because I am usually busy with work, the speed of creation is far slower than that of publishing chapters.
Rhythm. Until now, I don’t have any manuscripts in hand. From now on, I will publish one chapter after writing it, and there will probably be no bonus of additional updates. However, I will try my best to ensure continuous updates. I hope everyone can understand.
It should be said that the entire second volume is a highlight of this novel. Most of the inspiration for the original creation also came from the content of this volume. However, the ideas for the subsequent volumes have basically taken shape, although there is no far-reaching subject of the subprime mortgage crisis.
But there are still many magnificent and exciting deeds and plots. I believe it will be no less exciting than the second volume, so please continue to pay attention.
