Chapter 259 As long as you work hard, an iron pestle can be ground into a needle
The term Hallyu was first derived from Go, and was later used to refer to the influence of South Korean culture in other regions. The broad sense of Hallyu includes South Korean clothing, food, etc.; the narrow sense of Hallyu usually refers to Korean TV dramas, movies, music and other entertainment
thing.
Generally speaking, the Korean Wave is still dominated by the latter. With the promotion of these entertainment events, the influence of South Korean stars in other countries and regions has also continued to spread. Let’s not talk about other places for the time being. Let’s just talk about the domestic audience market, Hallyu and
It is a fact that South Korean celebrities are quite popular, so it is inevitable that a certain local star will be popular.
Of course, a certain reborn salted fish knows that this trend will not last. In fact, after about 2005, the influence of the so-called Korean Wave in the country has gone from bad to worse and gradually cooled down. At this stage, it is okay, it can be regarded as stepped on.
A tail. A few years later will be the real recession period. Domestic fans will no longer buy it, and a certain degree of disgust will arise...
The reason lies in the issue of cultural heritage.
I have to admit that for the domestic people of the last century, especially young people, the Korean Wave works that came from across the sea, the trendy lifestyle, fashion and pop culture, etc., did have great fresh appeal.
Coupled with the affinity of homogeneous culture, there is basically no rejection in accepting it.
But after getting tired of seeing the commercial operations with single methods and similar content, and recognizing the labels of fast food culture produced by the assembly line, they could not withstand the precipitation of thinking. After the initial surprise, they quickly faded away from the emperor's new clothes, revealing the rough and simple nature inside.
.
In one sentence, it can be summed up in a nutshell: it thrives in its culture and its demise also lies in its culture.
Of course, no matter what time, there will always be people who like it. This has to be admitted. However, due to the limitations of the Korean culture itself, it can only continue to move towards the niche category. Those who follow it love it to the core, while those who have no feelings are still indifferent.
People who feel disgusted would like to be beaten to death with a stick.
When talking about this, we inevitably turn to a commonplace topic... This may be the reason why Chinese civilization can stand among the nations of the world and endure for a long time. The cultural characteristics of learning from the strengths of others and being inclusive, no matter what kind of cultural invasion, the Korean Wave
No matter whether it is Hollywood popcorn or not, these foreign cultures may gain the upper hand for a while and be sought after by thousands of people, but in the end, they will inevitably become part of Chinese culture through different paths. Just like nutrients, they will continue to enrich and strengthen the origin of Chinese culture.
exception!
…
Well, it seems to be a bit far, let’s get back to the topic.
Regarding the concert tickets, Sugar Beans, who came back in the evening, showed a strong interest as expected. Speaking of which, she has no special feelings towards South Korean stars, and it is not even disgusting. She belongs to the indifferent group. What she cares about is that she can see idols again.
If you go on stage to sing and the tickets are given by your idol, there is no reason to miss it.
So I wrote on the calendar and the itinerary was decided. That was what happened later. At the dinner table that day, the little girl was a little depressed because her grandmother did have a physical problem.
No one told Tangdou what the specific disease was, and she didn't know. But according to her, it only took a few days, and she could clearly see the other person's weakness after returning this time.
The Tang Dynasty had some impressions of Tangdou's grandmother. Her temperament was more solemn and serious, and her slightly sallow complexion rarely saw a smile, but she was not indifferent, and she did not have the acrimony of ordinary old women of that era. On the contrary, she was cultivated.
Very good, it can be seen that he has a good background and has a good attitude towards the younger generation, especially for Tangdou, who has just met her. Whenever they meet, the little girl's pockets will be filled with all kinds of candies and snacks.
It’s just that we don’t have much communication with each other, because the grandmother has been in poor health all year round and is plagued by diseases. She usually stays in the Buddhist hall of her old house and worships the Buddha sincerely. Unless it is an important festival, she will rarely come out for activities.
It's probably some old age disease. Once a person gets older, the functions of various parts of the body, both internal and external, are no longer controlled by him. In addition, the death of the Xie family's grandmother not long ago should also have a big impact... Tang Chao speculated that he would not do anything like this.
I had no choice but to pick up some auspicious words to comfort the little girl.
The little girl also understands the reason. She plans to visit her old house frequently during the days before school starts. In addition, she also wants to go to the temple to pay homage and ask for signatures. Grandma believes this, but I heard that the Xie family has already made arrangements in this regard.
, planning to invite some eminent monks who are profound in Buddhist teachings to come to the old house, and then she can accompany her grandmother to worship Buddha...
While we were chatting about these parents' shortcomings, the night outside was getting darker and darker. The days passed like water, and Tangdou ran back and forth between Jiangyue Mansion and the Xie family's old house. Tang Chao went to work and off work on time every day, and the latest office orders
It's not a lot. On average, it's only about one and a half orders a month.
According to Zhong Wanqing and Mu Ling's grand statement, it was the off-season for business. However, from Tang Chao's point of view, it was obvious that these two were lazy and didn't want to work under the bright sun, so they were particularly strict in picking orders... which is fine.
, Tang Chao had no objection to this. Anyway, the salary was paid as usual, even though the performance commission was a little less, he didn't care. He just took the opportunity to cultivate a relationship with Sleeping Beauty...
Yes, the Tang Dynasty, who has become an old man, is now qualified to bring Sleeping Beauty to the office. She usually stays in the warehouse at the back when there is nothing to do. A basin of water and a whetstone can sharpen it all afternoon.
At first, Zhong Wanqing and others were a little confused and couldn't help but ask what they were doing. Tang Chao casually recalled his recent reflections on reading and wanted to verify whether this fable of "As long as you work hard enough, an iron pestle can be ground into a needle."
This is true.
As expected, it aroused laughter and ridicule such as boredom, talent, etc. Mu Ling also secretly opened a handicap, betting that the Tang Dynasty could not last for a week, and that he could not win a hundred on the spot. Zhong Wanqing and Lao Wei also
Following the 100 push, Lao Wei pressed No, but actually he wanted to push No, but in that case the handicap would not be valid, so he could only push No. He planned to invite Zhong Wanqing and Mu Ling to have a cup of milk tea... but the result was...
At odds of 2 to 2, he won back a box of old village chief liquor...
After this incident, in addition to making several people in the office accustomed to the strange behavior of sharpening knives, they also had awe in Tang Chao. According to Mu Ling, if a person can be so boring, he also has a deep respect for himself.
If you are so cruel, you must not mess with him!
Zhong Wanqing and Lao Wei deeply agree!
Of course, it is not necessary to sharpen the knife every day, that would be too boring. Tang Chao is not that anxious to see Sleeping Beauty again. In fact, he does not know the meaning of sharpening the knife. It is just a habit that makes him
In my spare time while reading posts and reading books, I have no time to spend some time...
However, the efficiency is still much faster than in the previous life. In the previous life, I was aimless, so I worked intermittently for three years. In this life, I finally have thoughts, which may involve the secret of rebirth, and I am more or less interested... Well, according to the current situation
Judging from the progress, we should be able to wake up in another six months to a year.
When it’s time to get off work, I pour out the turbid sewage in the basin and put away the smooth and shiny Sleeping Beauty, or to be more precise, the irregular iron rod. After half a year of polishing, it’s still very effective. If nothing else, at least it was as bumpy as the moon before.
The surface appearance is slippery.
After going back to the house and getting the car keys, Tang Chao got into the Volvo. He was not going on a mission, but he had to refuel when he ran out of gas. Before he could drive out of the warehouse, he saw Zhong Wanqing hurriedly walking out of the back door holding a file bag and waving.
Leaning out the car window, "What's the matter, Sister Qing?"
"Give me the car keys. I'll run to the western suburbs... A former colleague called and said that he saw a child there. He might be the target of our mission here. He needs to go and have a look."
When Tang Chao heard this, he immediately understood what was going on. The main business of Baicao Office was marriage investigation, and other tasks such as tracing people were generally not accepted. The reason was explained before and there was no way to accept it. However, when encountering this kind of order, Zhong Wanqing
I would take photos and send them to my former colleagues, including the criminal police and traffic police, so that they can pay attention when they are on duty.
This approach has a certain effect. Notices like this will appear every once in a while. Don't get too excited, because the results are often not satisfactory. Anyway, since Tang Chao joined the company, he has seen the last few times.
All proved to be misunderstandings. But even so, as long as there is a notice, Zhong Wanqing will still take the file bag and rush to verify it as soon as possible, just like when he was a police officer...
"The western suburbs, right? It's okay. I'll go with you, Sister Qing." After thinking for a while, Tang Chao simply waved to get in the car.
Zhong Wanqing was not polite and immediately opened the car door and got in: "Why, you won't go back and cook for your sister today?"
"Going back to Xie's old house." Tang Chao shrugged, started the car and drove out smoothly, "You know, Grandma Tangdou has been in poor health recently, so she thought that if she spent more time with her, she might get well faster."
"That should be the case. I'll go and visit tomorrow." Zhong Wanqing nodded. She was a serious relative of the Xie family, but the relationship was a little distant. She didn't seem to like to move around at all. She was an anomaly among the relatives of the Xie family.
After chatting casually, we refueled and drove for about forty minutes. When it was getting late, we arrived at our destination, at the urban-rural fringe of the western suburbs, a small street mostly selling daily necessities and restaurants.
After arriving here, Zhong Wanqing originally wanted to call her former colleagues to find out the specific address, but after entering the small street, she realized that this was not necessary.
Under the illumination of street lights, police lights and lights from various shops along the road, a dark circle of people gathered on the sidewalk next to the entrance of an affordable housing community, shadowy and crowded. Security guards, shopkeepers, half-year-old children, and old people who came out to cool off with cattail fans.
Sir, a young white-collar worker in a work shirt who has obviously just gotten off work... A few buses stopped at the platform not far away, and the passengers who got off the bus subconsciously looked here. Most of them moved closer involuntarily, and the crowd of onlookers grew again.
In the car, Tang Chao and Zhong Wanqing looked at each other, what the hell... they pushed the door and got out of the car, and walked around the crowd, robbing, kidnapping, taking hostages, etc. In a while, they listened to five or six versions, and some of them had noses and eyes.
As for the specific situation, I'm sorry, I don't know if I can't squeeze in.
"Follow me!" reminded Zhong Wanqing with a solemn expression. She showed the momentum of the former criminal police captain and forced her way into the crowd. "Back off, back off. I don't know if there is danger... When the police are handling cases, they all step back..."
This move worked well. With Zheng Qi's solemn shout, the crowd quickly dispersed. However, despite this, the two of them were still sweating after passing through three levels inside and three outside.
Squeezing into the open space in the middle, I saw two uniformed policemen standing ready. One hand had already touched the pistol on the waist. From time to time, I shouted to the people around me to retreat. The effect was not very good. I was so anxious that beads of sweat rolled down my forehead, but I was completely
He didn't bother to wipe it, and stared at the door of Shaxian snack bar more than ten steps away without blinking.
Upon seeing this, Zhong Wanqing immediately pulled Tang Chao and slowly appeared in the police's sight from the side, and shouted: "Xiao Huang?"
A young policeman turned around when he heard the sound, and his expression suddenly became happy: "Team Bell!"
"Call me sister, forget it, what's going on?"
"Hey, don't mention it..." The young policeman named Xiao Huang gestured to his companions, came over with a depressed look, and briefly told the whole story.
It turned out that they were going to other places to handle other cases. When they came back, they passed by here and got hungry, so they got out of the car to look for something to eat. As a result, they accidentally saw a begging child with handicapped legs on the roadside. Xiao Huang was Zhong Wanqing's former subordinate and had received the call.
After the latter sent missing person photos, he found that the child was quite similar to one of the photos, so he called Zhong Wanqing to inform him.
Things were fine so far. After making the phone call, they took the little beggar with handicapped legs and feet into a restaurant, ate, and waited for Zhong Wanqing to come over. However, when paying the bill, one of them was not paying attention and was not prepared, and the child was actually
A middle-aged man was secretly carried away. Thanks to Xiao Huang's quick reaction, he chased him out the door in time. But before he could catch up a few steps, the middle-aged man saw that he couldn't run away. He suddenly pulled out a fruit knife, put it on the child's neck, and turned around.
Rushed into the Shaxian snack bar...
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! While listening, Tang Chao squinted through the glass door and looked into the snack bar. Naturally, all the customers and waiters had already run away. In addition, the back door should have been blocked by a thief.
Huang and the others were blocked, and the middle-aged man suspected of kidnapping could not leave. He was hiding behind the cashier counter in the corner. He occasionally poked his head in, but could not see his face clearly... In addition, there seemed to be another figure in the store, Jing Jing.
Standing quietly, he seemed to be talking to a middle-aged man. Due to the angle, he couldn't see his face clearly either. He could only see a bald head with a faint reflection...
"... He's probably a trafficker who coerces children into begging. When he saw us wearing police uniforms, he thought something had happened, so he took the risk without success..."
Zhong Wanqing frowned: "You didn't talk to the child at that time?"
"We talked. He was very wary. He must have been beaten severely. No matter how much he asked, he refused to speak. I didn't think about it at the time. Damn it!" Xiao Huang was full of shame and anger.
"Have you called for reinforcements?" He looked at the crowded crowd around him and shook his head, "The situation at the scene is too bad. We must set up a cordon to evacuate the crowd."
"I notified the nearest police station. According to the message I just replied, they will arrive in five minutes at the latest."
Zhong Wanqing, who nodded slightly and unconsciously took over the command, calmed down slightly. He caught something with his peripheral vision and was startled. He raised his hand and pointed to the store: "Wait a minute, that bald head... is also a hostage?"
"Oh, no, that was a young monk who came in to ask for water when the incident happened..."
"Little monk?" Zhong Wanqing was stunned. When she came to her senses, she couldn't help but angrily yelled, "What nonsense! Why don't you call him out!"
"I called, and all the guests rushed out. The boss and the kitchen staff ran away, but he never left. He kept talking to the suspect, which had a good effect. The latter was very excited at first and might collapse at any time.
Now he has calmed down a lot, and I don’t dare to let him come out anymore..."
