Chapter 46 Chapter Forty-Four

The new roommate, Li Xiang, is from the land of Chuxiang.He behaved perversely, his eyeballs rolled around when he spoke, and before he could say a few words, the invisible "nine-headed bird" behind his head was ready to come out.He barely graduated from an unknown pheasant university majoring in finance after repeating a grade, and unexpectedly became a professional trader in a related agency company of a big-name securities company. "There's nowhere to go if you break through the iron shoes, and it's easy to get here!" I slammed on his shoulder, and he screamed in pain, and immediately assumed the posture of a rooster fighting, and the golden rooster stood up independently and yelled, "Are you okay, boss? "

I lamented the bitter history of stock trading for ten years, and he couldn't help but yelled: "Brother, I have seen such unlucky people, but I have never seen such unlucky ones like you! You can be selected for MBA with this record-a negative teaching material! Back in the late Qing Dynasty, you were not defeated It’s like this, the Anti-Japanese War has only been fought for eight years..." This guy stiffened his neck like he was arguing with someone before he could say a few words, so I had no choice but to resist by laughing at myself: "I blame myself for being so stupid. Throwing an iron pestle can be used as a needle, and a pinch can last ten years." Long Red's advertisement is so tempting, it takes the prosperity of the nation as its own responsibility, and it seems that you are not patriotic if you don't buy it."

"Oh my God, even if you cover it, you can't cover that super garbage! The industry has long since faded away. What kind of responsibility is the prosperity of the nation, bullshit!" Li Xiang grabbed my arm tightly, "Let me tell you this, anyone who is patriotic The higher the tune, the more traitorous it must be. Which monopoly enterprise do you think is not the worst in the industry? Didn't "Changhong" cheat more than 4 billion by cooperating with outsiders?" I kind of like this guy who speaks rough words, but at this moment, I am like a primary school student who violated the school rules. Facing the head teacher, I blushed: "I am really too stupid to believe such arguments," The Ball Times 'The sequelae."

"Brother, it's not entirely your fault. You are honest. It's all because the devil is too cunning." Li Xiang continued, "The stock market is like life, so how can you grow old together? They are both dewy couples, and they are all about sex. One—sorry—shoot one gun, grab one and leave. If you lose money in the casino, it will refund your taxi money, tea money. Whoever is loyal is an idiot." "I'm really a fool, I regret it!" I sighed. "Brother, I'm not scolding you. When the road sees injustice and roars, it's time to take action!" Li Xiang gritted his teeth, "There is no time for revenge, unless the stock market is closed. Blood debts must be paid with blood!"

"How do you take revenge, rape and then kill the 'Zhengjianhui'? You have the guts but you don't have the firepower." "It's me! Who told us to be destined?" Li Xiang slammed his chicken breast, "You have a deep hatred, little brother, I will avenge you!" "I just want to get rid of the trap, and I don't want a cent of other people's money." I sighed, "Don't stretch out your hand, you will be caught if you stretch out your hand!" "That's not necessarily the case. You are once bitten by a snake and afraid of well ropes for ten years. Look at me, for several years, my own wallet is impenetrable, and other people's corners can be digging hard. Who caught me? My brother, I am at ease. If you just want to solve the problem, then don’t look for me, my brother just eats the life of borrowing a knife to kill people!” I clearly saw that Li Xiang’s eyes showed a murderous look, “There is no investment in the Chinese stock market, it’s all speculation! Are there experts? There are only winners and losers, in other words, only wolves and sheep. If you win, you are an expert, if you lose, you are—whatever.”

I immediately added: "Sit at home, sit at home, ashamed to see others and wash your face with tears." "You are so right." Li Xiang slapped his thigh, and then asked me, "How difficult it is to find a job now, do you know how I, a repeat student from a third-rate university, found a first-rate position in this first-rate company?" I shake my head. "Let's talk by strength. I started stock trading in college, and I invested 3,000 in the market. In such a long bear market, my younger brother has more than 20,000 in his account in just two years."

"You stock god!" I blurted out. "I never believed what bullshit experts and professors said. I treated the stock market as a war. If you don't eat him, he will eat you. The term is 'zero-sum game'. At the beginning, no company paid me any attention. The resume I submitted said Hundreds, they don’t even look at it! They don’t know what my school is doing! Don’t say anything, I pretend to be a big family, and take my report card—the delivery report and go directly to their boss.” Li Xiang was eloquent, and he called up his account information on the computer to prove it to me, "The boss saw it, his eyes turned green!"

Sure enough, this guy has the sense of smell like a vulture, the ferocity like a hungry wolf, the stomach like a crocodile, and the cunning like a loach.If you see it right, you will bite, once you bite, you will bite to death, and if you bite, you will run away.A bloody storm is better than a leisurely court, and he is a veritable genius short-term hunter.I became excited: "Don't say anything, buddy, I will entrust you with the full power of the stock. Let's make a gentleman's agreement. If you lose, it will be mine, and if you win, it will be ours. We will pay according to the agency fee."

Li Xiang was more excited than me: "There is such a good thing? No wonder my eyelids and my little brother are jumping these days." "You act as an agent for others, what is the agency fee?" "Five percent of the profit, maybe eight percent. It's all the company's income. I use my dead salary plus some dividends, and it's less than one tenth of one percent to me." He said Danced excitedly, "Brother, it's not fair, I helped them earn it, and 'Jingguang' is almost the same after buying it!" "You are very frank, just for this, I will trust you." I made a final decision, "How about I give you 10% of the net profit, and there will be dividends."

Li Xiang tried in vain to conceal his excitement after he succeeded: "Ah, you are so bold!" "Walking for a long time at night will always encounter ghosts. I'm a good ghost." I showed him the whole set of materials and added, "If you don't believe me, we can sign a contract. You also have to dispel my worries—in case What are you going to do if you run away with the money? You can’t find your village on the map. My motto is that you can’t do harm without being defensive. Besides, we’ve only known each other for a few days.” "You said it right from the bottom of my heart." Li Xiang read the documents excitedly, and said, "Economic procedures are the worst thing to avoid confusion. In addition to signing the contract, you provide your online account information, and I will change the password. You keep the original documents. So, this is a mutual restriction, no one can transfer funds alone. The restriction on me is that I can at most put the stock market funds and the funds on the savings card back. "

"What are the constraints on me?" "You can't touch the account information and funds. Even if you use the original information to modify the online account information by reporting the loss, I will know immediately as soon as you move it, but there is no restriction on your capital injection through the savings card." I shook his hand broadly: "You are worthy of being a professional killer! Just because of your small belly—no—my wording is wrong, just because of your professional quality, buddy is not worried. You, just act boldly .Beat me hard, like a death blow." "Of course, there is no most ruthless on the battlefield, only more ruthless." Li Xiang was very excited, his eyes flashed like a wolf, "brother, how often should I report the results of the battle?" I thought about it and said, "Unless I ask you or you think it's necessary. We don't care about the gains and losses of a city and a pool, so you can operate boldly. But one thing, don't touch options or anything else, the risk is too high, my brother and I It’s because you can only afford tonics and can’t afford laxatives.” "You can rest assured." Li Xiang said excitedly, "Brother, the reform of shareholding structure will start soon, and the trading of warrants will also be opened-let's not touch this, and the GEM is also on the agenda. Now, big and small problems will eventually be resolved, this is a challenge and an opportunity, just wait for it.” I interrupted him: "Don't play tricks on me, that's how I was tricked into it at the beginning. I don't care if it's a challenge or an opportunity - if it's a challenge, you accept the challenge, if it's an opportunity, you seize the opportunity. Stop talking nonsense, Brother wants hard currency." "Brother, you trust me too much!" If Li Xiang met a benefactor, I said: "I trust my intuition, you are reliable." "Other people said that about me when I was young, and even gave me a nickname—Iron Rooster." Li Xiang was awkward, I couldn't laugh or cry, and suddenly stopped drinking: "Iron Rooster! Do you have confidence?" Li Xiang was taken aback for a moment, and said stupidly: "Yes!" "I can't hear you." I pretended to be deaf and dumb, Li Xiang immediately geared up and slapped the towering chicken breast like a fucking drum: "Yes! Yes! Yes!..." Simply sign an agreement.I know that Li Xiang is relentlessly guarding my stock account, racing against time and concentrating more than watching pornographic masturbation, so there is no reason to be worried.The translation remuneration and several royalties earned later were all transferred to the stock account.Every time I haven't told Li Xiang, he can't wait to send a text message: "Boss, the fund ××× has been distributed to the account on ×month×day×, thank you for your cooperation!" I didn't ask for a whole year, and several times Li Xiang hesitated, but I blocked him back: "Let me tell you first, good news or bad news?" Li Xiang faltered: "There is good news and there is bad news." "Does it have to be said?" "Not necessarily." "Then don't talk about it." I said, "It's useless to tell the bad news, and you'll be numb for a long time; just bear with the good news and wait until later." "Then I'd better not talk about it." "Iron Rooster" made a grimace with a smile, and withdrew. In a flash, I, a foreigner, entered the "seven-year itch" in Beijing, and I still haven't escaped the nightmare of "crime of failure".The cruel youth can't bear to look back, and in a blink of an eye, it enters the midlife crisis again.My life is still in a mess, with no tiles on the top, no cones on the bottom, and no love in the middle.But I have to beg for nothing in this increasingly competitive grindstone with an increasingly tired and wretched state.My achievements are much worse than those of Balzac and Julien who went to Paris.The only improvement—according to the people in my hometown, I have become northernized.From time to time, the Beijing dialect of Erbuhangwu (Note: Erbuhangwu, Sichuan dialect, referring to unreliable and unauthentic.) pops up, carefree, unkempt, with rough skin like Beijing's buildings and sky, and appetite like a stray dog , in a word - rough. Among the few roommates of "New Oriental" who went abroad to study at the beginning, only one old Beijinger Yang Tao returned to China.He changed suddenly and became the technical backbone of an American-funded company.Yinyin, his former girlfriend, has long since become a housewife.Others have found jobs in the United States, waiting for green cards and changing identities.Those who didn't find a job were basically PhD students or postdoctoral fellows. Only Yan Liguo, a native of Shanxi, was so bold that it got dark.His reasons are very good: I studied American studies, and I still study ass when I leave the United States. Looking at my situation, Yang Tao analyzed it for me from the perspective of life planning, and felt that I should find a stable job.I thought about it and found it reasonable, and I also encountered a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. After publishing a few books, I met some new friends, participated in some cultural activities, and even went to the most powerful university in China to show off and show off some of the limelight.Soon, a professor from a great university contacted me. He read my book and found me. In a good vegetarian restaurant "Moonlight in the Lotus Pond", I met Professor Peng, he has an extraordinary temperament, he looks quite fairy-like, and the first thing he said when he stretched out his hand was: "You scold us academicians like hell! " I was quite embarrassed: "It's all nonsense, I'm a quick one, I can't speak my head." "If you don't have a brain, you can scold me, but if you have a brain, you can still get it?" Professor Peng joked, and said openly, "It doesn't matter, if you don't fight, you don't know each other." "Master's stomach can support a boat." I said. After a brief greeting, he threw out the theme: "You should be my disciple, I'm recruiting people." I was quite surprised, and said humbly that I would like to hear more about it. "I know you have opinions on people inside the system, but—" Lao Peng changed the subject, "it's not an option for a freelancer like you to continue for a long time. There are advantages and disadvantages inside and outside the system. Freedom outside the system and freedom inside the system At least take care of food and your life, old age, sickness and death. Look at Wang Er, he is more talented than you. He has a clear picture, jumped out of the system, and died a miserable death! He is gone in his early forties! There is also the famous avant-garde in the past Writers, actually begging on the street, so gentle! Several writers who became famous with him and then entered the system are now professors in prestigious schools." I said that I understand too well, the fate of Lao Jiu is either to become a lonely ghost like the Seven Sages in the Bamboo Grove, or to recruit security—Zhao security is the mainstream.Jiang Taigong fished to recruit security, Confucius and Lao Er traveled around the world to recruit security, Zhuge Liang went to Nanyang to recruit security, Song Jiang went to Liangshan and even entrusted the famous prostitute Li Shishi to mediate, and it was still a curve to recruit security.The ten-year cold window is all for the purpose of recruiting security, learning literary and martial arts, and the goods and the emperor's family. Professor Peng laughed, recruiting security is too ugly, this is called joining the WTO, and to put it bluntly, it is still a social responsibility.The emperor is a bastard, if the scholar-bureaucrats don’t come out and fulfill some responsibilities, can we Chinese still live?It is said that the current style of study is very bad. Indeed, even my professor from a prestigious school will be ashamed of those colleagues who talk about running trains. "Yeah, it's all like street rats howling wild beasts." "To be honest, I don't dare to say that I am their colleague. What if someone hates Wujiwu and sends me a brick?" Professor Peng half covered his mouth with his hand, and lowered his voice, "I said I am 'New Oriental'." "High, really high!" Lao Peng went on to say: "So, the key is to look at yourself, no one is forcing you to talk nonsense with a gun. Let's not talk about doctrines, but only study problems. If you can get the limelight, let's not get it; if you want it or not. Let’s take some of the money, don’t be too greedy.” "Mr. is very reasonable, but—how am I qualified?" My confidence sank. Professor Peng snorted "Biluochun": "I think you are good at writing, you have opinions, and you dare to speak up. You have published so many books, and you are very diligent. Your English is also good. What you lack is academic training. I am short of such seedlings. .” "It's too old, and it's already a crooked neck tree." I added, and Professor Peng shook his head: "It's not too old, my disciples are several times older than you." I was uneasy: "I'm just a junior college student in a third-rate university." "Equal academic ability is recognized by the country, which shows that the country does not only focus on diplomas." Professor Peng also revealed, "Come here, and I guarantee that you will study consecutively for a master's degree." "How many years will it take to graduate?" "If it goes well, five years; plus review exams, six years." "Six years? Still have to take the exam?" My scalp was numb, and I asked cautiously with a shy face, "Can you pay the money and deliver the goods?" "what do you mean?" I hesitated: "Just like some people in your party—of course they are public funds, and I am private funds. I must have more goods than them." "That can't be done. After all, we are a famous school among famous schools, so we should keep an eye on them closely." He showed embarrassment, and then laughed, "Besides, I don't belong to the 'your party' you mentioned, I have no party or affiliation. Confucius said, a gentleman is not a party." "Happy and happy, I admire it!" I said, with a embarrassed look on my face, "Professor Peng, you don't know something. I am most afraid of exams. As soon as I entered the exam room, a roast duck was roasted into the fireplace! I almost squeezed my brains out, so I barely Entered a third-rate university—and returned to the furnace twice, your place—is the highest institution!” Professor Peng laughed: "Why are you so modest. The style in the book is not like that. Those who laugh and scold are called madness." "I'm not humble, it's a guilty conscience." I said sincerely, "To tell you the truth, every plant and every tree in your campus is full of knowledge, every stone and every brick has a background, and you are timid when you look at it. ? Really lack of confidence." "Review well, let me guide you, it should be fine." "How much is the tuition?" This question should not be sloppy.Professor Peng said lightly: "It's 10,000 yuan a year, and the food and rent are your own. You should be fine, right?" "This is not a problem, just treat it as an investment." I said.Professor Peng added, "I'll find you some work, and you can earn two to three thousand a month." "Is the package allocated?" I asked with a shy face. "It's so old, why are you still assigned? It seems that you have been idle in society for too long." Lao Peng smiled and comforted me, "However, my disciples can generally stay in Beijing, and almost go to other places. a municipality directly under the Central Government." I thought to myself, the last time I was on the same level as Li Hao.Professor Peng turned to ask with concern if I have a family?I was a little sad and a little excited: "Don't mention it, I'm going to collapse if I mention it, it's all because I stick to my identity as a 'three noes' person, so far I've only been fishing for chickens." Professor Peng made the best use of the situation: "Then you have to enter the system even more. The ancients have long said that marrying a Han and marrying a Han wears clothes and eats. Although this statement is a bit excessive, it is also reasonable. It has an economic foundation." "I finally understand, too late." "It's never too late in life, unless—" Professor Peng finally said that if I don't like his major, he can recommend me to Professor Wang from another awesome university. He talked about you, you go back and send him two books, and then contact him after a while, saying that I recommend it." I thanked you repeatedly and rushed to pay the bill, but was firmly stopped. Lao Peng said that although the professor is poor, he still has a few funds to dispatch.I politely sent Professor Peng to the "Toyota" car. Looking at the time, it was time for Daniel nearby to get off work. I called him and asked him to have a drink. I wanted to ask for his opinion.After hearing the news, Daniel raised his thumbs up, and said that he should think about it carefully. If he has this background, it will be much easier to go to the United States.I smiled and said, "Let's not talk about the United States, just talk about my life in China in the future, and I will transform into a Beijinger." Daniel was confused, so he explained to him the concepts of organization and files of the temporary residence permit system. His quick, computer-like mind became more and more confused as he listened. Fortunately, he understood that this was good news, so he clinked glasses with me frequently. According to Professor Peng's suggestion, send the book to Professor Wang.This is undoubtedly the last chance to recruit security. Beijing household registration, work and the rest of life can be completed in one step.If this good thing happened ten years ago, I would be so excited that Deputy Commander Lin would explode himself.Helplessly, the excitement lasted for a few days, but it was calm, even I was surprised. I told my family the news, and my mother was very happy and said, "Oh my God, how old are you when you read it? Your priority is not to study but to start a family. Of course, it's up to you to decide." That's right, five or six years of study will cost more than 100,000 to 200,000 yuan.In this era when there are as many undergraduates as feed masters as Dr. Mao who is troubled by overseas returnees, even if you get a doctorate from the most powerful university in China, it is hard to say whether the prospects will be good.Besides, I have already written a book, and the book is just around the corner, so why not read a bird book?The two idiots who saved books for Hu Meng flashed past in his mind. My enthusiasm faded quickly, and Daniel and I visited Professor Peng, had a meal, and politely declined. Everyone deeply regretted the breakup between Xiao Yu and me, with only one exception—"Master of Extinction" Wu Tongtong.When I was having trouble with Xiaoyu before, she would enlighten me, and now she is even more cheerful.She always compares herself to Xiaoyu intentionally or unintentionally, whether she hides her disdain for Xiaoyu in all aspects, I really can't listen to it, uphold justice: "You just read a few more books than her." It has been more than a year since the last quarrel, and it is estimated that there will be no contact.The day after I returned from Qingdao with Daniel, I was taking a shower, and the phone rang non-stop, so I ignored it, and the phone rang again after a dozen seconds, and so on several times.Guessing something urgent, I wiped my drenched body and rushed into the bedroom. It turned out to be Wu Tongtong.I laughed and complained: "You don't fight for a few years, and you hit this crucial point again." "What do you mean, with Xinhuan?" She was cautious. "The old love is gone and the new love is gone? You are taking a shower, and you go out after washing." I looked around the floor and urged, "If you have something to say, hurry up, there is a flood on the floor." "Ah? You're naked!" Wu Tongtong was surprised, "I really have you, I'm in Beijing." "I'm still in New York." "If you don't believe me, look at the phone display." She said.Looking at the mobile phone, it really belonged to Beijing, near the Capital Airport. I was very surprised: "Hu Hanshan is really back! Why are you coming back? Disastrous to the country and the people?" "Fuck you. I'm busy." "Are you back with your husband and children?" "Husband and child, who did you hear that I have a husband and child?" She laughed out loud. "A wild guess." "Is it because you have a husband and children and you won't see me?" "So what if you see it, so what if you don't see it?" "I won't talk nonsense with you. You should do your work first. I'm going to the city right away. I'll settle down. How about meeting tomorrow or the day after tomorrow?" "I'm still afraid of you?" I have gradually forgotten about Wu Tongtong, but when it happened so suddenly, I was surprised and still felt a little pain.I tried my best not to recall the past, the more I suppressed it, the more turbulent the past was, pouring on the scar that seemed to have healed long ago.Until the last moment before stepping into the five-star "Tianlun Dynasty" Hotel, I hesitated whether to say goodbye. "Tianlun Dynasty" sits in Wangfujing, where every inch of land is expensive, and is next to the cathedral where I once cried.The main color of the decoration is gold-plated, bright like a palace.I went in through the gold-toothed revolving door, as if I had fallen into a golden dream of wealth and wealth.The rectangular lobby is said to be the largest hotel lobby in the country. It is composed of castle-style rooms on four sides and a huge glass roof, which is as big as a basketball court.The hall is scattered with tall coconut palm plantain cactus, simulated fountains and various sculptures.The card seats are scattered but organized.The towering corner formed a bandstand, and a young and elegant female pianist in a black dress shook her head and her waist with a fascinated look.The female receptionist is graceful, the male waiter is handsome and serious, and the colorful guests are bright and decent.Wearing shorts, shorts, and loafers, I must be the most unsightly living thing in this palace. Fortunately, in this double-sided city where vulgarity and elegance, luxury and shabbiness fuse together, your wallet can't hold it Yes, you can still fight for temperament; if you can't fight for temperament, you can still play Tai Chi between pretending to be A and pretending to be C. I wandered around the lobby, but I didn't see Wu Tongtong.Just as I was about to leave with a lot of doubts, suddenly a person stood up in front of the cafeteria. I stared at a woman wearing sunglasses with some hesitation, and tried my best to suppress the urge to commit murder in public.The man took off his sunglasses, revealed Wu Tongtong's face, and stretched out his hand to me: "It seems that you have completely forgotten about me." "It's not that I forgot, but you've changed, and you're more and more American, except—" "What's the matter?" Wu Tongtong quickly looked around, as if an actor who was about to go on stage forgot a piece of jewelry. "It's okay, don't you want a hug and kiss gift or something?" "Daydream! Here is China, not America. (Daydream, this is China, not America.)" Her English was full of American flavor. I looked at the splendor around me, but my embarrassment was not over yet: "Seven years after the master's farewell, you should look at it with admiration." "What do you mean, this is an airline partner, you can get a discount, and you don't have a long-term stay. You think I'm an upstart." "It's so fast!" I picked up the coffee, my hands trembled slightly, my mouth became a funnel, and I frantically wiped my chest with a tissue, and sighed, "This time and again, the doctor's hat is on, and the War of Resistance Against Japan is over." , Tianchao football is completely over." "Where is this going? It really doesn't make sense." Wu Tongtong has indeed changed.A set of light gray striped T-shirts, blue jeans, and Nike shoes.With sharp edges and corners, she showed a little roundness.The hair is trimmed short like an athlete, which makes it look more lean and capable.She is not fat at all, but more fit.He smiles more than before, and from time to time reveals the white and clean teeth after the tetracycline pigment has been removed by American dentists, and also brings out a few wisps of years of wind and frost, except for a pair of eagle-like eyes, which are still compelling. "You have changed a little too." Wu Tongtong looked at me intently. "It's nothing more than Xiao Ge becoming old." I touched the top of my head and sighed, "Time is not forgiving! I am becoming more and more considerate of the overall situation - it is very difficult for the local government to support the central government." "The oily tone hasn't changed." Wu Tongtong laughed and asked me again, "How is it, these years——" "Thanks to you, it's okay." "What does it have to do with me, are you mocking me?" "Of course." I said very modestly, "You didn't bring me to Beijing. I'm afraid I'm still in Dicheng to carry out guerrilla warfare against urban management behind enemy lines." "You have suffered a lot." I smiled embarrassedly: "It's a failure, Loser." "Did you really break up with your fiancée?" "Don't mention it." I gritted my teeth with a hint of pain, "I've made up my mind not to get married, I'm only getting married by idiots." "Not so?" Wu Tongtong looked surprised, "You used to cry and want to get married." "I didn't know much about the world before—you know I'm late in development." "Be serious, you hate women so much? Does it have something to do with me?" "No." I said with a smile, "I don't hate a specific woman at all, I worship all women, including sex workers, except for female liars, I love fraternity. Don't talk about this, just tell me when you come back what?" "Listen to your tone, it's as if China is your home and not mine." "Oh, I forgot about this, and I treat you as an international friend. Are you rejecting the temptation of the world of flowers and the high salary of the capitalists, and serving the motherland?" "Why do you always speak in such a yin and yang way? You are still brooding, or I'd better go." Wu Tongtong was suddenly a little excited. "Pay attention to your demeanor!" I looked around, apologized, and said, "You are an overseas scholar now, don't be as knowledgeable as someone like me." "I knew you would be like this. If I had the same knowledge as you, I would ignore you. You are a small person!" "Hehe, you are indeed a confidant." I nodded again and again, and asked sincerely, "Then you are back this time, what are your agendas?" "One is to visit relatives. I haven't been home for almost eight years; the other is that I just got my Ph.D. and came back to meet with several units—" "You want returnees?" I interrupted her. "What do you mean? It's like jumping into a fire pit with me." "It's not a pit of fire, nor a nest of gold and silver. Didn't you cry and go abroad?" I put down my coffee, "How fierce is the domestic competition now? You're still coming back to fight for jobs with us local turtles! Can you bear it? Okay? Well, I can’t stand it anymore, a house will kill you! Ten years ago I could only afford a toilet in Beijing, now I can only afford a toilet.” "I just talked to them about these specific issues. It's just an intention to get in touch with them initially." "What's there to get in touch with? Now it's all hype, and you can't help yourself when you come back. I've seen the unlucky returnees from the United States. Are you stupid after staying abroad for a few years? My former roommate in 'New Oriental', Six of the eight left, and now only one came back with a green card, and one would rather stay there than come back. What is patriotism, this is patriotism, don’t cause trouble for the motherland, don’t rob compatriots, don’t give farmers jobs Increase the burden, and work together to eat up the United States." "Come on, it sounds like I'm freeloading from your tone." "You misunderstood. Now the returnees are all 'kelp'. I dare to bet you that in a few years, there will be returnees-I'm not talking about the kind of pheasant university'guest squatting' or something-jumping buildings and becoming chickens. , Living on the street. Why are you coming back? Are you sorry for your 20 years of hard work? Are you sorry for the parents who gave birth to you and raised you? I’m sorry for me——I won’t talk about it.” Wu Tongtong was furious: "What do you mean? Do you think I can't get along there anymore? Tell you that I have already negotiated over there, and I have more choices. Now some returnees are not very good. Better than local turtles. Because they are returnees, this matter was magnified and became news, just like a few years ago when Peking University sold pork and Tsinghua University collected waste products and it immediately became news. It was an extreme example. Dogs biting people is not news, people biting Dogs are. You go to be a butcher, a waste picker, and a duck to see if the media pays attention to you?" Wu Tongtong's words stabbed my blood out of balance, and my face turned pale. I smiled embarrassingly, without saying a word.After a while, I said pleasantly, "You are so right. As soon as I am laid off, it is my job to be the owner of the stall. I know myself. The biting of Lu Dongbin is just for reference." Wu Tongtong said angrily: "Of course it's just for reference, who do you think I am?" "Compatriots." I was ashamed for a while, "Let's talk about something else." "What do I have to say to you? Whenever I say it, I quarrel, and I get angry. I don't do that with anyone. Why are you so aggressive? A rooster, a cricket, or a wild dog?" Wu Tongtong looked discouraged, "Running all the way here Just to quarrel with you? I wanted to give you a surprise, but I knew I wouldn’t be here. What the hell! Enemies from previous lives?” I realized that I was impolite, and tried to turn my face to the "Bean" channel, and said every word: "We are enemies in the previous life, whether you believe it or not, anyway, I believe it. To be honest, with whom—it's not like this , and the Police, Urban Management, Security, Joint Defense, Small Foot Detective Team, and the Securities Regulatory Commission of the Ministry of Railways... are not like this." Wu Tongtong chuckled: "I can't afford to offend you." "I can't afford to offend anyone, we are just an ant." I looked humble.Seeing that it was almost lunch time, he said, "You came all the way to see me, I'd better treat you to dinner." "Whoever you don't invite, let's see how I kill you!" Wu Tongtong was not polite at all, and laughed to herself after speaking, "I will invite you when you come to America." "I guess it's a bit difficult." "It's hard to say, it's hard to say it's not hard." I called Lao Hong and asked Wu Tongtong what to do for the remaining days? "Go back to my hometown tomorrow, and return to the United States in January, just one month." "I'm back for my honeymoon." I joked, and she also laughed: "Who will spend it with me?" "I didn't see you off when I went to America, and I didn't pick you up when I came back the day before yesterday. I'll see you off next time." "Okay." Wu Tongtong said, she looked out the window and sighed, "Beijing has really changed a lot!" "The capital of the empire, all nations are coming to court! Great powers are rising." When passing by the "Big Refrigerator", Wu Tongtong asked, "Do you live here?" "Just live in the big refrigerator—in the broken room behind." Wu Tongtong said: "I'd like to see what the place you live in is like." "Forgive me, lest I scare you, that's where snails and ants live." "That's what you're looking at." I coped: "Eat first, then talk." The Sichuan Office in Beijing has been renovated, new dishes have been added, and the prices have also risen.Wu Tongtong still remembered the seat we sat in eight years ago, so she walked over and sat down.She was very picky and ordered a few dishes, all of which were cheap, and I added a Dongpo elbow, kimchi and tripe soup.Wu Tongtong complained that her stomach has been fed by Western food over the years. One of the reasons she wants to go back to China is that she misses Chinese food too much. She said: "The Chinese restaurants over there are dominated by Fujian farmers, and they are seriously Americanized (Americanized), so I just coax foreigner." "We Chinese are a bunch of foodies." I teased, "What conditions will I give you when you come back?" "It's good to tell you, let me refer to it." She said, "Several colleges and universities have given associate professors, master supervisors, a monthly salary of 5,000, benefits and project funds depending on the situation." "The Chinese currency or the American yuan?" "Of course it's from China." "It's a bit miserable. Do you have a room?" "No, but there is some housing allowance." "Bullshit! Is this called a favorable condition? I won't go! Of course they won't take my pot." I said, "The house is the big one, and the rest are small favors. Let me tell you this-you must also You know, if you don’t have a house or a car in China, you are a different kind of person, you are an abnormal human being, and you are a 'crime of failure'!" "You underestimate me too much. Over the years, I have some savings. I have 50,000 to 60,000 U.S. dollars." Wu Tongtong was a little proud. "Come on, 50,000 to 60,000 US dollars is also called money, and it keeps depreciating." I laughed, "Back then you said that I only bought a toilet in Beijing with 70,000 to 80,000 RMB, but now you buy it with 50,000 to 60,000 US dollars. One toilet may be a bit exaggerated, just one kitchen plus one bathroom, but the import and export issues have been resolved in advance..." Wu Tongtong stopped her chopsticks and looked at me with interest, which made my scalp tingle, so I quickly shut up.She squinted her eyes as if she was looking down on me: "Now you are stabbing me at the opportunity, are you happy?" "Is it okay if I don't have fun? My mind is gloomy. One more house slave means one more comrade." I laughed along, "You are also a doctor of literature, tell me what kind of psychology I belong to, is it normal? " Wu Tongtong secretly looked around and said in a low voice: "You are called an eunuch mentality. If you can't do it yourself, you can assume that others can't do it either." We all giggled, I sucked a chili oil into my trachea, coughed continuously, Wu Tongtong came over and beat me on the back, those blows were like a sledgehammer of revenge, almost smashing my internal organs into my stomach "Stew". Walking near the Chaoyangmen subway, Wu Tongtong pointed to the garden in the middle of the street: "We used to sit on this stone chair, and that stone step. Hey, are those wind wheels still spinning?" I suppressed my grief and indignation without saying a word. In the afternoon, as a friend of Wu Tongtong, I accompanied her to meet the head of the personnel department of a school.To show his sincerity, the man treated us to dinner. Wu Tongtong felt nervous when she arrived at Huaishu Street, and when she arrived at my dwelling, she inspected it inside and out like an official of the health inspection team, and breathed a sigh of relief: "It's better than I imagined, and it's similar to where I lived before. " "It's alright. The wall was only painted last year, so I'm only at this level." 武彤彤在电脑桌前坐下，差点摔下来，她抱怨：“啥破椅子啊，暗器啊？” “拿它当刑具呢，几本书都坐在这椅子上写出来，不破行吗？忘了大英图书馆地板上马克思的脚印了？写作就是服刑，你以为度假村呢？”我得意地说，给她沏茶。 “你以前和女朋友就住这儿？” "Ok." “这房子结婚是差了点。” “这儿除了这个床垫，啥都不是我的，凑合着用，如果不计较，坐床上吧。” 武彤彤浏览了一会网页回了几封邮件，打着哈欠坐到床上，半靠半躺浏览了我的书。我坐到电脑前，无所事事地浏览新闻，一边心不在焉地和武彤彤说话。她停下阅读，埋怨：“你就不能好好和我说会话？” “你不是在看书吗？”我只好停下来，不知道该说啥，甚至想她早点离开，七年前的激情荡然无存。时间真残酷，无数次的人类大劫难自然大灾害，都早已湮没在流沙之下，何况一段男女纠葛。 “你找个话题吧，你见多识广的，和你在一起我只有当听众的份儿。” 武彤彤叹气：“看来你是跟我无话可说了啊。我知道你恨我。” “以前后，早趋于麻木了，人就是贱皮子动物。” “是吗？那就好。”武彤彤直视我，“你能不能老实说说，你激烈反对我回国，是不是没一点私心？” 我思忖片刻郑重其事：“我说过我麻木了，只是像绝大多数俗人一样，出于朋友好意提醒你，这儿不好玩，仅供参考。” “好一个仅供参考！看来你确实是麻木不仁了。”武彤彤淡淡地说。 我一笑：“你以前怕的不就是我唧唧歪歪没完没了觅死觅活吗？” 武彤彤没说话，半晌，她问：“你还想出国吗？” “无所谓了，哪儿都是混吃等死。”我微笑着看着她，“何处青山不埋人？” “我以前挺自私的。” “人都自私。” “我有难处。” “太理解了，留学嘛。”我宽容地说，“我也看过一些关于你们这些人的报道，学业经济感情身份工作文化差异都拧到一块了，能不艰难吗？” “你怎么不问问我以前？” “以前问得还少啊？差不多都成妇联主任街道大妈啦。”我笑，“现在就别问了，我怕你尴尬。” “你无非是问我怎么还没嫁出去，是吧？” “也是哈。”我百思不得其解状，“我听人说，你也对我说过嘛，中国女的在那边个个都是珍稀品种，八国联军围追阻截啊什么的！是个女的都能嫁出去。你咋搞的啊？” “那是我丝毫不愿委屈自己，明白吗？”武彤彤瞬间声音高了八度。 “不不，你误会我了。即使我的逻辑再糟糕也明白——在美国的华人中，是个女的就能嫁出去，你没嫁出去，说明你不是女的呗。这是最简单的三段论。敢情问一句，你——是不是做啥手术啦？” “去你的！”武彤彤扬起书要砸我，我闪开了，笑道：“你看你看，有你这样的女人吗？灭绝师太、食人鱼、母夜叉三位一体，全世界有你这样的女学者吗？” “那是老娘卓尔不群！”武彤彤昂起脖子。 “那是你高处不胜寒！你麻烦大了！”我阴阳怪气，“根据乙女嫁甲男丙女嫁乙男丁女嫁丙男的婚恋生态原理——TMD又一个排列组合题呵呵——你这甲女和我这丁男也就成了剩男剩女，要么永远剩下去，要么，凑合着过吧。” 武彤彤大笑：“我才不找你这样的丁男呢。” “就知道你不会委屈自己。”我非常郑重地说，“不过我倒有个主意保证你今天就嫁出去。” "Say." 我老调重弹：“你呀，就穿件T恤衫，或举一块白布，作访民状，就写几个字：美国女博士，孤守春阁孤枕难眠什么的。然后呀，你就到大街上那么一晃悠，哪儿人多去哪。保管把甲乙丙丁各等男人、狼以上的品种以及交警城管联防记者小脚侦缉队卫生防疫站统统给招来。” 武彤彤来了一句以F开头的美式国骂，纵身跃起，和我撕扯搏斗起来，几个回合下来，已经赤身裸体如蟒蛇交织。我们就像被仇恨和饥饿折磨得头昏眼花的非洲猛兽一样，把对方当作美味和天敌撕咬殆尽，片刻已成杯盘狼藉。 晚饭后，武彤彤建议移师再战，说钱已付了，条件也好多了。此后，在那个大金牙似的酒店足不出户，连战两天三夜。饿了电话订餐，我披着浴巾开门接餐，她则躲进卫生间。 八年前和武彤彤做爱，就已经不仅是男女相悦，水乳交融中拧着一种对抗。历经几年欧风美雨的沐浴和奶酪黄油的滋润，又戴上货真价实的博士帽，武彤彤不但心理上演化成一个变本加厉的女权主义者，生理上又恰逢波峰浪尖，比以前更富进攻性、创造性和不屈不挠的毅志，已非我温良华夏食草种族，活生生上演一幕春天里的“动物世界”。如果哪天她拿了海归运动会女子铁人三项赛总冠军，我一点也不吃惊。 高节奏的动作中，我断断续续地哀嚎：“人生最大之不幸，就是和女博士上床，这哪是做爱啊，搏命啊！” “瞧你那熊样，跟我斗！”武彤彤扬起脖子，扭曲着脸，“只有累死的牛没耕坏的地，看老娘榨干你！” 和多年前相比，武彤彤更喜欢女上位姿势。四肢铁钳般遏制住我，眼里冒烟，嘴里喷火，身板铿锵。我就像被压在五指山下的那只倒霉的猴子，除了伸出个脑袋一个劲地折腾，无法动弹。 “你还是饶了我吧，我们是全面不和谐。”一阵紧似一阵的凌厉攻势后，我终于抛锚了。弹尽粮绝，油尽灯枯，枪栓再也拉不开，瘫软如泥的我除了俯首称臣别无出路。 “你是资源全面枯竭型。”武彤彤哈哈大笑，又咬牙切齿，“要在床上斗，你们这些臭爷们永远不是娘们的对手！” 做爱中除了对骂，她有时突然大哭起来，吓得我差点当场举而不坚，欲停下却被厉声喝止，只好在干嚎中虚拟高潮冒充好汉。几天竭泽而渔下来，早已如同一具枯井。铁嘴钢牙骨头硬的武彤彤成了我的床上终结者和情欲掘墓人。想起一种雌性昆虫，每次交配后都将与之欢愉的雄性昆虫吃掉，禁不住打了个寒噤。 “你把老娘看成淫妇了是吗？我也是久旱逢甘霖而已。”武彤彤笑起来，伏在我身上，忽然异常悲哀，“迷信的说法，我们也许真的命里相克，没戏了。” “我跟谁都没戏了。”我颓然叹息，“我早就行尸走肉了，只有能量没有感觉。” 不到一月武彤彤从老家返京。她说国内一家单位答应给她一笔丰厚的安家费。如果美国那边没啥重大变故，十有八九她会去那里了。随后几个疯狂的日日夜夜，无论如何努力，我们都无法回到从前了。我彬彬有礼麻木不仁地把她送到了机场，和我隔着金属栏杆挥手再见时，我看不清她墨镜下的眼睛，好像仍是一付嘲讽。
