Chapter 4 Chapter Four

first quarter Lu Chengwei sat on the sofa and finished smoking a German cigar without saying a word.Qi Huaizhong and Gu Shuangfeng knew that it was not easy to intervene in this kind of housework, so they both hid. Lu Chengwei subconsciously touched another big cigar and put it in his mouth.Lu Xiaoyi rushed over angrily, grabbed the cigar, and threw it on the carpet, as if he was not relieved, he stomped on it with his foot again, and said bitterly: "All the big fools of Tianzihao come from our house, it's not enough , You are such a cold-blooded animal again! The eldest brother has been in the position of deputy minister for eight years. It depends on who you rely on! Look around, which family has no political background, which one is better? Dad earns his old money, how many days can he survive after he dies? Shi Tianxiong, this bastard..." Lu Chengwei stood up and helped Lu Xiaoyi Sitting down, he persuaded with a smile: "Sister, calm down, calm down. My blood is not as cold as you think. People take tea to cool down, and it has been like this since ancient times. The mist of sadness is all over the capital, from Dakang to depression. I have heard and seen a lot of tragedies, big and small, and I can be regarded as the group of people who can see the truth of life. Sister, I have never felt that you are so selfless and tall like today. I have such a Proud of being a far-sighted sister. I agree with your analysis. Without your foresight, maybe one day, I would be plotted against..." Lu Xiaoyi calmed down, raised her hands and said, "Okay, don't be silly , not serious at all. You don't know how upset I am."

Lu Chengwei sighed: "Then let's be serious. Sis, I'm more reluctant than you for Tianxiong to go to Tianyu to be a nonsense special commissioner. If this enemy goes to Tianyu and gains a firm foothold there, for me , is equal to a disaster." Lu Xiaoyi looked at Lu Chengwei suspiciously, "Disaster? Can you explain clearly? I don't see any trouble for you when Tianxiong arrives at Tianyu." Lu Chengwei shook his head: "At present This is still my first-class business secret, so I can’t say it. Time will prove that I did not exaggerate the danger. Now I can tell you responsibly: I don’t think Tianxiong will stay in Tianyu for long.”

"What did you say?" Lu Xiaoyi stood up, "You won't stay long? Why? Don't tell me it's just a hunch." Lu Chengwei lit up his cigarette again, shook his legs and said: "Sister, I am an MBA from the United States. I value intuition, but I never rely on it. I only believe in analysis, reasoning, and judgment. Without XX, there would be no famous brand." Have you ever seen this kind of formulation? Everyone in the electronics industry, especially the home appliance industry, knows that without Wang Chuanzhi, there would be no Tianyu." At this point, he stopped and picked up his teacup.Lu Xiaoyi's brows furrowed again, "Old problem! It's always tricky to say anything." Lu Chengwei put down his teacup, "Okay, okay. Who is Wang Chuanzhi? Essentially, he is a political animal. Now that he has become a vassal in the home appliance industry, he can It is wrong to say that it is right. The fatal weakness of this person is that he does not understand politics at all and has always been very enthusiastic about politics. Of course, he only knows the superficial aspects of emperor art, which does not prevent him from being a local emperor or a tribal chief. I still don't understand that he has been classified as a separate politically. The reason for this is, of course, that he served as the commander of the rebel faction for more than a month in the early days of the 'Cultural Revolution', which has been completely negated. This is a political stain that he will never be able to wash away. What is lovely about Wang Chuanzhi is that he has been washing this birthmark with all his heart, and naively believes that he will be able to wash it off sooner or later. I am afraid that he already thinks that it has been washed away long ago. Tianyu has already paid more than 10 billion yuan in profits and taxes for the country. Such a huge contribution can't cover up a small stain? That's what he thinks. At this time, Shi Tianxiong, the imperial envoy, suddenly appears, what does he think? Can he Are you willing to let Tianxiong pick peaches? No, definitely not. He is not a weak person, and he is not a wimp who will be caught without a fight." Lu Xiaoyi nodded straight after hearing this, and said: "Find a way to make Wang Chuanzhi jump..." Lu Chengwei Shaking his head slowly, "He is also a person with personality and a city. If he wants to object, he has already objected. The decision of the party group of the Ministry cannot be kept secret from Wang Chuanzhi. He also has the identity of the president of a listed company. Behind this identity is Strength. He didn't object, which means he didn't regard Tianxiong as an opponent at all. If six points of my analysis are accurate, Tianxiong can only stay in Tianyu for about half a year. This matter is actually a good thing for the Lu family. Next year, Just wait for Tianxiong to become the director."

Lu Xiaoyi looked at her younger brother with suspicion, but didn't speak.If it were to end like this, it would be the best.But will things go in this direction? The factory area of ​​Tianyu Group has become a city within a city in the eastern suburbs of Xiping City.In the past ten years, it has gradually become a modern landscape in Xiping, and at the same time, it has changed people's perception of the city.A few years ago, there was a popular saying in this city that rich people live in the south of the city, bad people live in the north of the city, officials live in the west of the city, and poor people live in the east of the city.The rich refer to those who got rich first, the bad refer to those who engage in various predatory businesses near the North Railway Station and a large number of blind people, and the officials refer to those who work in the provincial party committee, the municipal party committee, the provincial government, and the municipal government. , the poor refer to a large number of workers.The rise of Tianyu in the eastern suburbs has made at least 60,000 families stand out from the crowd in the eastern suburbs.In the vegetable market in the eastern suburbs, it is easy to capture the superiority of Tianyu people from the faces of housewives carrying vegetable baskets.While other people in the eastern suburbs arrange three meals a day at the standard of 150 yuan per person per month, the Tianyu people's own bank credit card will increase more than 1,000 yuan every month on time.This difference in numbers is not only reflected in people's expressions, but also permeates into many fields such as clothing and even mate selection criteria.With a little sharper eyesight, you can see that the average score of the young wives who go in and out of the city in Tianyu City is at least ten times higher than that of the little wives who go in and out of other factories.People in Tianyu generally have the virtue of not forgetting the person who dug the well when they drink water. One sentence they often say is: "Thanks to Tianyu having a Mr. Wang."

These days, Tianyu people suddenly found that there are more opportunities to meet Mr. Wang.In the morning and after dinner, as long as you want to meet the legendary figure Wang Chuanzhi, you only need to do morning exercises and walks in the grove beside the sports field.A middle-aged man of medium build, slightly fat, with a standard official appearance in a photo book, and a red face with gentleness and persistence in his eyes, he appears here twice a day.Most people dare not come forward to greet him, because they can easily find that Wang Chuanzhi has been thinking about problems.At such a time, rushing forward to greet the beloved President Wang and disrupting his train of thought, he deserves to die.

Chapter Four second quarter Both Tianyu's core figures and Wang Chuanzhi's confidantes knew that Wang Chuanzhi was thinking about how to deal with Shi Tianxiong, the special commissioner who was about to take office in Xiping.Party secretary Xiang Mingyuan was a little excited when he got the news that Shi Tianxiong was coming to Tianyu.At first, he judged that Wang Chuanzhi would boycott immediately.Later, Wang Chuanzhi's silence made his heart beat.He has no reason to conclude that the newcomer Shi Tianxiong must be his ally, although he has determined that the purpose of the party group's move is to divide Wang Chuanzhi's power.After waiting for a few days, Shi Tianxiong was about to take office, and Wang Chuanzhi still spoke official words in public, which made Xiang Mingyuan a little disappointed.

The day before Shi Tianxiong took office, Wang Chuanzhi said at the board meeting: "The topic of the board of directors this time was originally to discuss the plan for expanding overseas markets. The situation in our domestic market has not changed much. The market share is still 18.6%. 8.1% for refrigerators, 9% for DVD players, and 6% for air conditioners. It is said that there is still potential to be tapped in the domestic market. Why have I always refused to tap the potential of the domestic market? Today I will show you the bottom line Well, or you will think that my vision is dull. From the perspective of the overall situation, if our market share of various products increases by one percentage point, tens of thousands of workers in our brother factories will be laid off, and perhaps several factories will go bankrupt. The instructions above are to stop killing each other and to be consistent with the outside world. This is what Vice Premier Zhu said when he inspected Changhong: Survival of the fittest. This formulation has not yet been made public. I will talk about it here, and you can listen here , That's it. It will be promoted to the world's top 500 and build a world-class economic aircraft carrier. It will start soon. To achieve this goal and to serve the Chinese people, we can only hope to expand overseas markets. Under this general situation , In order to strengthen Tianyu's leadership and speed up Tianyu's promotion, the superior sent us a special commissioner." Zhang Zhongbao, the skinny personnel minister, continued: "Chairman, what is this special commissioner?"

Wang Chuanzhi glared at Zhang Zhongbao, "Hey! What are you talking about! Special commissioners are people, not things." Several people couldn't help laughing out loud after hearing this.Wang Chuanzhi looked at the laughing person majestically, and continued: "It is really necessary to hold such a meeting. You seem to have resistance to the Commissioner Pai, which is very bad. Commissioner Shi Tianxiong is a young man in the Ministry, a martyr who rehabilitated An orphan, a combat hero, has worked in the Organization and Planning Department of the Ministry for six or seven years, and is an expert. Commissioner Shi's duty is to participate in, lead, and guide the overall work of Tianyu Group Co., Ltd. to ensure the rapid, efficient, and safe operation of state-owned assets. After he comes, you, including me of course, must obey his leadership." Zhang Zhongbao fired another shot, "What does this mean? Isn't it obvious that you can't trust us? We are a joint-stock company with a board of directors and a board of supervisors. , When will the state-owned assets be pushed over the cliff? Send a Taishanghuang, or a Taishanghuang who wants to go to court, what do we need to do?"

Xiang Mingyuan spoke at this time, "Xiao Zhang, you can't say that. Whether it's the board of directors or the board of supervisors, they are all first-level organizations. Red Sun was the only one in the home appliance industry back then. Isn't it about to collapse now? Most of the people here are If you are a party member, you still have to talk about organizational principles. Wang is always appointed by the organization, I am appointed by the organization, and you are all appointed by the organization.” Wang Chuanzhi was not happy to hear it, lowered his upper eyelid eyes, tapped his fingers on the table nervously, and suddenly smiled, "Secretary Xiang tapped in time. Comrades, please note that I did not call the directors, because we are all made by The organization is authorized to manage the people in the organization who operate state-owned assets. Tianyu Group has developed on the basis of more than 30 million state-owned assets. You and I have contributed to Tianyu Group. Some outside media and gossip said It is an exaggeration to say that there would be no Tianyu today without Wang Chuanzhi. It should be said that without the opportunity of reform and opening up, there would be no prosperous Tianyu today. Although we are the chairman, vice chairman and director, we are not the owners of Tianyu assets. Yes We must unconditionally implement the decisions of the higher authorities, and the organizational principles are above all else. Commissioner Shi is a leading cadre appointed by the organization. He is your leader, and he is also the leader of me and Secretary Xiang. Expansion of overseas markets I will not discuss the matter today, and it will be decided by Commissioner Shi after he arrives. I want to announce a discipline: no one can create tension among the masses, and no one can spread rumors about the reorganization of Tianyu. Leave me, Wang Chuanzhi, Tianyu turns around as usual. I have been in poor health for the past few years, and I don’t want to do this drudgery. Commissioner Shi arrived in time. Director Zhou, book me a plane ticket to Beijing the day after tomorrow. I want to go to 301 Check it out at the hospital, it’s time for a major repair.” Turning around, he said to Xiang Mingyuan, “Secretary Xiang, special commissioners are still a new thing, should this welcome ceremony be more grand? Can you make another welcome speech?"

Xiang Mingyuan couldn't figure out Wang Chuanzhi's real intentions, so he could only say: "This is a pilot project, and it needs to be a little more grand, which is conducive to publicity and expansion of influence." Wang Chuanzhi slapped his hands, "Okay, with your party secretary's words, It will be easy. Let me arrange it. In the afternoon, except for the workers on the assembly line, all staff will participate in the general cleaning, including those who are on leave. Whether or not to participate in this general cleaning will be linked to this month's bonus. Let everyone realize that for special missions It is a political issue to show whether you support the reform. Director Zhou informed the four major sales branches and asked them to notify the 88 sales branches they belonged to, and each sent a manager or deputy manager to come back to welcome Commissioner’s ceremony. The expenses will be reimbursed from the special expenses. If you can’t come back, you have to hook up with the sales rewards of each branch. Inform the logistics and prepare 30 tables of wine and food tomorrow night. On weekdays, everyone is so busy that it’s rare to see each other Let’s get together and have fun together.” Xiang Mingyuan became a little worried, and said, “Mr. Wang, this is too motivating. If you are outside, don’t come back.” Wang Chuanzhi said: “Xiang Mingyuan Secretary, this is not a trivial matter. Commissioner Shi's identity is the imperial envoy in charge of Tianyu affairs. In ancient times, you and I would lead our subordinates to greet us forty miles. Spend this little money to let everyone know what authority is , value. Vice President Li, tomorrow afternoon, you and Director Zhou will take two Cadillacs to the airport to meet Commissioner Shi. Xiao Zhou, please contact Director Bai of the Public Security Bureau in the afternoon, and ask them to send some police force to clear the way from the youth to the airport. The road from the Niu Overpass to the gate of the factory. After four o’clock in the afternoon, this road always suffers from traffic jams.”

Chapter Four third quarter Zhou Ruifa, the director of the office, snorted disdainfully, "It's a bit of a fuss. Only ministerial leaders can enjoy this kind of treatment according to regulations. He alone..." Wang Chuanzhi became angry, slapped the table and said, "Zhou Ruifa, what do you want to do! The office director, what do you want?" If you don’t want to do it anymore, just say it, and I will approve it immediately. If you still want to do it, do it first. I only want Commissioner Shi to enter Tianyu without hindrance tomorrow, and you can find a way to solve the rest. You say that you will meet the central leadership tomorrow. , and no one cares about you. Just do it like this. Dismiss the meeting." When Shi Tianxiong took office in Xiping, it can be regarded as a revisit to his hometown.Here, the most glorious days of his life were left behind.Yang Shiguang also flew to Xiping on the same plane.The Electronic Information Department has agreed in principle to accept him, and he will go back to the army to complete the relevant procedures.At the same time, he also wanted to take a look at Tianyu. If possible, he would like to work in Tianyu as a special commissioner's assistant.A dignified special commissioner can't go to Tianyu alone, can he? Shi Tianxiong thinks this idea is good, and recognizes Yang Shiguang as his entourage. As soon as they got off the gangway, two girls in Tianyu work clothes handed over two bouquets of flowers.Being able to drive the pick-up car to the tarmac shows Tianyu's influence in Xiping.After Shi Tianxiong shook hands with Vice President Li and Director Zhou of Tianyu, he got into the first Cadillac.Vice President Li sat in the co-driver's seat and led the way, and the two Cadillacs drove out of the airport side by side. Yang Shiguang saw that Vice President Li was very young and handsome, and said, "Vice President Li is really young and promising, isn't he less than 30 this year?" Vice President Li turned to the side and smiled, "Thirty to five. A few years ago, when I was studying at Xida University, I met you once, I wonder if you still remember it?" Shi Tianxiong was stunned for a moment, then smiled embarrassingly, "I'm sorry, I really forgot." Vice President Li laughed at himself "I shouldn't have asked that question. That time when your group of heroes and models gave a report at our Western University, I was sitting in the first row of the audience. How can I ask you to remember me? That report had an impact on me. It’s too big. You and that technician named Jin Yuelan gave the most wonderful speech. At that time, we college students really respected you as gods. You represent the God of War, and Jin Yuelan represents the God of Beauty. You sit side by side on the rostrum, Perfect and harmonious, like a pair of impeccable works of art. At that time, we argued for a long time about whether you could become lovers... It's far away. I really didn't expect that I would have the honor to be your subordinate today." Just as he was talking, the Cadillac led by Zhou Ruifa overtook and got on the expressway. Yang Shiguang joked: "Oh, Comrade Special Commissioner, you didn't think about it at that time?" Vice President Li turned his head and said, "That Jin Yuelan who doesn't love money may have thought about the Special Commissioner. When the Special Commissioner made a report , this Jin Yuelan has been holding her chin and looking at you with deep affection. It made many of our female classmates jealous, and some people even doubted the authenticity of her donation of 200,000 yuan. People were so innocent in those days." Shi Tianxiong narrowed his eyes. With a smile on his eyes, he said, "I was already going to be a father at that time, what else could I think?" Did he really not think of anything? Shi Tianxiong fell into the distant past.Facing the pure and beautiful 21-year-old Jin Yuelan, it was impossible for any man to remain indifferent.At that time, he also felt Jin Yuelan's affection for him.During the three-month touring report, two men and women who admire each other will definitely spark some sparks.Why didn't he directly tell Jin Yuelan the true identity of his marriage in the first one or two months? Did he hope that this kind of misleading would create that ambiguous atmosphere? Did he already feel disappointed with Xiaoyi at that time? He remembered After learning many details about being with Jin Yuelan, she sat up straight as if awakened from a start.To this day, he still cannot deny that he is responsible for Jin Yuelan's hasty marriage. Yang Shiguang bumped into his shoulder, "Hey, are you talking about itching? Later on, you guys are too segregated." Shi Tianxiong said, "So what if you don't have segregation? Between men and women, I'm afraid we really should talk about it." Fate. The year I changed jobs, she had already become the chairman of the labor union of the No. 2 National Cotton Factory. I don’t know how it is now.” Vice President Li replied: “The No. 2 National Cotton Factory went bankrupt four years ago. It’s been thirty years since Hedong Thirty years in Hexi. Two days ago, I saw the name Jinyuelan in the newspaper, saying that she was opening a department store.” Shi Tianxiong asked, “Has Jinyuelan also gone into the sea?” Vice President Li said, “The one who runs a supermarket Jin Yuelan, I don’t know if it’s the same Jin Yuelan back then. I’m busy all day, and I read dozens of lines at a glance in the newspaper. If the special commissioner is interested, I’ll send someone to look it up right away.” Shi Tianxiong said with a smile: “No, no, it’s obvious, yes Fate; if you can't see it, it's also fate. If it's really that Jin Yuelan, she will be very interesting in the past twenty years." At this moment, Shi Tianxiong couldn't have imagined that he would have any profound connection with this Jin Yuelan in the days to come.While speaking, the car got off the expressway, got on the Qingniu Overpass, and began to enter the urban area.Shi Tianxiong suddenly heard the ear-piercing sound of the siren, and bent over to look forward, he saw that the flashing red and green lights had already grown on the roof of the car in front.Yang Shiguang touched Shi Tianxiong, pointed at the policemen passing by the window, stuck out his tongue, and made a grimace. Shi Tianxiong's face became gloomy, and he asked: "Xiao Li, do people from above usually do this?" Yang Shiguang continued: "The relationship between Tianyu and the Public Security Bureau is really good." Vice President Li turned his head and said with a smile: "Tianyu I have made great contributions to Xiping in the past few years, and I have to give Tianyu face in every aspect. President Wang and Secretary Xiang attach great importance to the appointment of the special commissioner, and made some arrangements as an exception. A series of activities were also arranged in the afternoon, and there was a dinner in the evening The leaders of more than 80 sales subsidiaries all over the country have come back, and they all want to meet the special commissioner... There is always traffic jam on this road in the afternoon, so the Public Security Bureau made this arrangement. If the special commissioner feels that it is inappropriate, later Just make amends." Shi Tianxiong realized that all kinds of traps had been laid behind this extra-standard treatment, and it would not be easy for this special commissioner to do it.After all, Wang Chuanzhi is Wang Chuanzhi, and when he makes a move, he is extraordinary.More than 80 subordinates were recalled, nominally to carry the sedan chair for Shi Tianxiong, but in reality? Wang Chuanzhi's power to keep his word in Tianyu has already been truly felt by Shi Tianxiong.He suddenly realized that the decision of the ministry party group was a mistake. Then, Shi Tianxiong felt the irrational power of Tianyu Group. Chapter Four fourth quarter Two Cadillacs drove to the gate of Tianyu Group, and the chrome-plated automatic retractable gate remained motionless even though the driver honked the horn like a ship's siren.After a while, more than a dozen taxis were parked outside the gate, and dozens of princes from all walks of life in charge of sales of Tianyu Group came down from them.Zhou Ruifa got off the first Cadillac, bent his waist and yelled at the gate: "Open the door quickly! Are you looking for death?" The door did not open.Suddenly, several eye-catching banners grew on the walls on both sides of the gate.Yang Shiguang stretched his neck to look, and stuck out his tongue in shock.The contents of the banner are all aimed at Special Commissioner Shi Tianxiong.One read: "Tianyu would rather die than become a flop company!" One read: "Don't supervise the army, don't use imperial envoys, and don't doubt the loyalty of Tianyu people." Another read: "The working class will always be the leading class. will never be equal to zero." Vice President Li took out his mobile phone with a dark face, and typed a series of numbers, "Is it President Wang? I am Li Guoqi. Commissioner Shi and I have arrived at the gate. President Wang, something happened. Someone posted a few reactionary slogans, shut down We are not allowed to enter through the gate. Mr. Wang, come out quickly. If it is any later, the reporters from the TV station and the newspaper office will come.” After turning off the mobile phone, he turned his head and said, “Special commissioner, I am really sorry. Enterprises, if you don’t think carefully, you will have problems. Yesterday, Mr. Wang held a special meeting of the board of directors to study how to receive you... Look at this matter... Mr. Wang asked me to apologize to you on behalf of him and Secretary Xiang. Shi Tepai Staff..." Shi Tianxiong interrupted: "Vice President Li, you should call me Deputy Director Shi. There are no special commissioners here. I came to Xiping, not to take office. Mr. Yang and I are here to hear about Tianyu's overseas market expansion. Reporting, and at the same time, I have to go to Red Sun Group to learn about the situation of turning losses into profits in the third quarter. This is a decision just made by the party group of the Ministry this morning. There are no special commissioners for the time being." Li Guoqi was at a loss when he heard it. Looking at Shi Tianxiong. Wang Chuanzhi dropped the phone angrily in the office, looked at Xiang Mingyuan and several core leaders and said, "Grandma's, someone broke the phone line too. Dare to write reactionary slogans, dare not let special commissioners in, it's against the law." , Reversed! Minister Zhang, you go to the auditorium, bring everyone to the gate, and plead guilty to Commissioner Shi. Old Xiang, let's go first." Walking to the stairs, he shouted again: "Let the security department send someone Immediately go to the scene and file a case for investigation. This is a serious political case." Shi Tianxiong got out of the car, lit a cigarette, and stood still facing several banners swaying in the wind.Yang Shiguang whispered: "Why did you change your mind?" Shi Tianxiong sighed and said: "The general is away, and the king's fate is not acceptable. This move is originally to be prepared for danger in times of peace and prevent problems before they happen. Changing the hexagram is just adding fuel to the fire." Just as he was talking, the slogan on the wall suddenly disappeared.Then, the door slammed open. Yang Shiguang saw that figure who often appeared on TV in recent years and a group of dark people trotting towards this side, and sighed, "This is really a well-organized battle. No wonder Tianyu can have today." Wang Chuanzhi rushed out of the gate, held Shi Tianxiong's hand tightly, and apologized repeatedly, "Old Shi, I'm really sorry. These days, we look forward to the stars, the moon, and you. Who knows...how do you want me to explain it to you? No place to be ashamed, no place to be ashamed. No, the leaders above the middle level are all there. We are preparing for the welcome ceremony over there, and a political incident occurs here. Old Shi, we will be a family in the future. These family scandals... Hey, brother, I'm really sorry." Shi Tianxiong smiled sincerely, "Boss Wang is serious, serious. This may be a misunderstanding." Wang Chuanzhi took Shi Tianxiong's hand and shouted, "Minister Liu from the Security Department is here. Is it?" A burly man with a square face agreed: "Yes—" Wang Chuanzhi paused and said, "Minister Liu, this is the most serious case that has occurred in Tianyu in the past ten years. I will give you three days, and you must deal with it." Solve this case. No matter what level of cadres are involved, we must investigate to the end. All those who participated in the disturbance will be removed. What about the guards? Are the guards under your control?" Director Liu pushed a pale-faced young man over, "He is on duty in the morning. Tell Mr. Wang and the special commissioner what bastards are involved. You are one of them." The white-faced young man said with tears: "Minister, this is none of my business. Last night I After eating a bad stomach, I went to the toilet and came out like this. I really don’t know anything—” Wang Chuanzhi asked: “Mr. Liu, are the guards recruited?” Mr. Liu said: “Yes Yes." Wang Chuanzhi waved his hand and said, "Fire him." When we arrived at the reception room, Shi Tianxiong spoke first: "Mr. Wang, eight hours ago, I was indeed a special commissioner, but now I am not." Wang Chuanzhi said in surprise, "Are you kidding!" Shi Tianxiong said: "The plan can't keep up with the changes. The establishment of special commissioners is a major reform of state-owned enterprises, and the State Council requires unified action in principle. After careful consideration, the party group of the Ministry decided to wait for the State Council’s overall plan to be released.” Wang Chuanzhi looked at Shi Tianxiong suspiciously, “In the information age, how could such a joke…” Shi Tianxiong said: "You can call and ask Minister Chen to see if I have passed the imperial decree. This time, my main task is to listen to the red sun's plan to turn around losses. By the way, I will come to Tianyu to see the preparations for expanding overseas markets. Because The change was sudden, and Minister Chen asked me to explain it myself. Seeing this situation, it shows that the decision of the Ministry’s party group to cancel the decision is very timely.” Wang Chuanzhi didn't find any flaws, so he believed it eight or nine points, and said with a smile: "How can I not trust you! The special commissioner was suddenly appointed, and I was caught off guard. Originally, I was going to be hospitalized for a major repair... You see what happened to this matter. The leaders at the middle level and above and the leaders of all branches are all here...really...a small episode happened, don't take it to heart. Tianyu has never been ambiguous about the decision of the superior. Brother, you should talk more about the mainstream when you go back Wow. In the afternoon, you still receive the princes from all walks of life in Tianyu, and have dinner with them in the evening. Seeing is believing, hearing is believing. Brother, don’t refuse." Shi Tianxiong had no choice but to agree.When he was free to go to the bathroom, he briefly reported the situation to Chen Dongyang on his mobile phone, and after asking Chen Dongyang to temporarily approve of his shutdown, Shi Tianxiong completely relaxed. After eating Tianyu's luxurious feudal banquet and briefly listening to Wang Chuanzhi's report, Shi Tianxiong and Yang Shiguang went to stay at the Santai Hotel near the Red Sun.Wang Chuanzhi already understood that Shi Tianxiong was not easy to deal with, so he didn't want to keep Shi Tianxiong, and went home Chapter Four Section five After Shi Tianxiong and Yang Shiguang stayed at Santai Hotel, Shi Tianxiong suddenly felt empty in his heart.Yang Shiguang also realized that it was not appropriate to handle the matter this way, and worried: "Tianxiong, there is something wrong with this battle. If you don't take office, you will be passive. If you stay in Tianyu, what can Wang Chuanzhi do to you?" Shi Tianxiong sighed He said, "You can't do anything to me. I took this step, and the original intention was not to get a position at the top of the bureau. Tianyu will go on like this, and sooner or later something big will happen. Fighting with others is fun and poor! This is a sentence with a comma added. Quotations from Chairman Mao. If I come to Tianyu as a special commissioner, I will have two prospects. First, I will serve as a memorial tablet and be a bureaucrat. Second, Wang Chuanzhi will give me all the power on the surface, and then try to make Tianyu fully Landslide, he has the guts. The second prospect is more likely. Tianyu can pay 2 billion in profits and taxes to the country every year, and can provide nearly 100,000 jobs for the society. If I hold on to the status of special commissioner, I may Become a sinner who cannot be redeemed. The family and the country are of the same structure, and the family and enterprises are of the same structure. If there is no change for a day, China will not be able to talk about the great rejuvenation." Yang Shiguang asked in puzzlement: "You have analyzed Tianyu's problems so thoroughly. You decided to go into business again, why did you choose to back down this time?" Shi Tianxiong said: "I would rather be Wang Chuanzhi's actual assistant." While the two were talking, Lu Chengzhi called, complaining that Shi Tianxiong couldn't bear it, and told Shi Tianxiong a news: the party group held a meeting in the afternoon, and someone had been appointed as the deputy director of the organization and planning department.This means that Shi Tianxiong has no way out. If he cannot achieve a real job in Tianyu, he will be suspended.Fortunately, Chen Dongyang's attitude was very clear, and he expressed his support for Shi Tianxiong to take a real position in Tianyu. Early the next morning, Yang Shiguang accompanied Shi Tianxiong to an old neighborhood in Xiping City that kept its original appearance decades ago.After wandering around the old streets and alleys for a long time, Yang Shiguang felt a little dull. Shi Tianxiong's future is uncertain, and his efforts these days may be in vain. Thinking about this, he frowned and said, "It's so cold, and my stomach is so cold." Cuckoo, the street is full of traffickers and office workers, not a big deal. Find a place to fill your stomach and do serious business. I have a hunch that you can't stay in Xiping for a long time this time." Shi Tianxiong seemed to be angry with Yang Shiguang, and said: "I really want to stay in Xiping for a week to see what will happen. This kind of scene is not as good as the night life of feasting and drinking. But it is interesting. .Because this is the most essential and basic life of Chinese people. The future of China grows from here. Do you believe it or not?" Yang Shiguang smiled and said, "I won't argue with you. At this time, you can still produce poetry, which is not easy." The two talked and laughed, and turned into a slightly wide old street with a few camphor trees and ginkgo trees growing on both sides.After reading the signs, they knew that the name of this street was Ginkgo Street.The street is very long, not too straight, and several narrow alleys are connected to it, which makes it a little more popular than the few streets and alleys we just passed through.From a distance, they saw a woman standing under a ginkgo tree at a street intersection.There were two black things emitting white smoke beside the woman.After walking a few more steps, I saw a small table under the tree, four or five small stools, and a chopping board next to the green brick wall. On it were noodles, seasonal vegetables, and seven or eight bottles of various seasonings.The woman was obviously middle-aged, with a thin body and a sad but healthy look, with a kind of homely beauty.A small wooden sign with the words "laid-off one yuan noodles" leaned against the ginkgo tree trunk alone, with a few simple and childish black characters, and looked at passers-by shyly.At this time, in Shi Tianxiong's eyes, this small wooden sign was as eye-catching as a logo of an era, which made him reluctant to leave.The woman rubbed her apron subconsciously, showing one-third of her mouthful of white teeth and smiling, but she didn't attract any business. She said embarrassedly, "This calligraphy was written by my son. It's so ugly." Yang Shiguang asked. Asked: "Why did you choose this name?" The woman replied honestly: "I am laid off, and those of us who work in the lock factory are about to be laid off. The laid-off people sell noodles, and they also want to make them affordable. Hence the name." Shi Tianxiong pulled a small stool and sat down, "Two bowls for each person." The woman responded and got busy. While cooking the noodles, Yang Shiguang found out all the details about the noodle seller.The woman's name was Mao Xiaomei, who was a locomotive worker at the No. 6 National Cotton Factory. She entered the factory at the age of sixteen and worked for twenty years.During this time, Shi Tianxiong kept staring at the small wooden sign, thinking about something, like a well-educated eminent monk. After Yang Shiguang finished his second bowl of noodles, he kept saying: "It's delicious, it's delicious, let me have another bowl, Tianxiong, you can have another bowl too." Mao Xiaomei stood still and said with a smile: "Sir, two bowls are enough. I know you are all good-hearted people." Yang Shiguang said: "We can still eat." Shi Tianxiong then began to speak, "Mr. Cook it for him. How much money can you earn for a bowl of yuan noodles? Oh, I shouldn’t ask.” Yang Shiguang jokingly said: “You really shouldn’t ask, neither should you ask about business secrets or the age of a lady. It’s a pity that I Just now you asked Ms. Mao's age, and now you've asked her about her business secrets." Mao Xiaomei covered her mouth and smiled, "You two gentlemen are really interesting. I sell a small noodle, and you have a secret. A bowl of Maori has a Two cents, plus miscellaneous and eighty kinds of fees, the net profit is 180 cents, selling seventy or eighty bowls a day can earn thirteen or fourteen yuan, plus the monthly living allowance of 150 yuan from the government, there are five or six hundred RMB, plus we are for the people, oh, even if my wife earns two to three hundred yuan a month, I can live a so-so life.” Shi Tianxiong saw a little boy stuffing newspapers under the doors of several houses, and then heard the boy yell like a bell: "Sell newspapers, sell newspapers—evening papers, metropolitan papers—" Yang Shiguang frowned and said: "There is such a small newspaper boy in Xiping. I don't know what mayor Yan Pingliang should do when he sees it..." He stopped suddenly.The red scarf on the little boy's chest fluttered slightly, and he walked straight to the front. The teenager was holding a thick stack of newspapers in front of his body, and a huge red schoolbag on his back. He looked pitiful, and his big black agate eyes were shining , It makes people love again. The little boy put the newspaper and schoolbag on the small table, and shouted: "Mom, cook the noodles for me, I'm starving to death." Mao Xiaomei bent down to fish for the noodles, and promised: "I'll give you the noodles right away. And How many copies?" The little boy said: "It's not bad today, there are eight copies of the evening paper and six copies of the city newspaper, which is enough for the book." Mao Xiaomei turned around with a smile on her face like a full moon, and praised: "Xiaojun , you are really capable." Put the bowl in front of Yang Shiguang, "Sir, your noodles are ready." Chapter Four Section VI Only then did Yang Shiguang come back to his senses, and stuttered, "This, this child is your son? You are so young, you..." Xiaojun playfully covered his nose and mouth with his hands, "My face,上半部分像我妈，下半部分像我爸，你看这眼这眉毛，像不像我妈?”逗得三个大人都笑起来。杨世光摇着头道：“卖报纸会影响学习的……”小军看着杨世光，说：“错!应该说有可能影响学习。叔叔，人是有差别的……”毛小妹轻轻打了儿子一巴掌，“就你能!不能这样跟大人说话。是他自己要卖。我和他爸都起得早，他也只好早起。他说功课压力不大，我们就依了他。他说的也是实情，上学期考了个级段第三，这学期又当了中队长。” 史天雄摸着小军的头，夸奖道：“不错，不错。穷人的孩子早当家。小家伙，我买两张报纸。”杨世光接道：“我也买两张。”小军取了一张晚报和一张都市报，“你们两个是一起的，买两张足够了。不要浪费。妈，你快给我煮面。”毛小妹转身忙碌起来。 杨世光打开报纸，一眼就看到了金月兰的消息，忍不住念出了声：“六大商场发难'都得利'，好刺激的题目。不知道这个金月兰总经理，是不是那个金月兰。”史天雄接过报纸看看，“好像是系列报道。应该是她。” 毛小妹接道：“就是国棉六厂那个金月兰。十多年前，她可是红透半边天的名人，捐过二十万遗产重建孤儿院。”杨世光忙问：“她这些年的情况你清楚吗?”毛小妹捞着面说道：“听说过一些。六厂破产后，有不少人到了我们厂。这是一个苦命人。六厂破产后，组织上安排她到印染厂做了工会副主席。这也算没忘记她是个做了贡献的人。她男人可不这么想，在外面混了个搞服装店的女人。五年前，她和男人离了婚，自己带着女儿过。两年前，她女儿考高中，差四分不够重点线，想上重点，差一分要交一万元，她就不当副主席，和人合伙开了个'都得利'超市。傻子，烫着嘴了吧!十八年前的二十万，能顶现在一两百万用。人不信命运，可真不行。金月兰开的'都得利'，用的都是下岗人员，价格低，服务好，生意很红火。想着她能好些了，谁知又把那些大商场惹上了。这一关不知她能不能过得去。” 史天雄马上生出了见金月兰的冲动，站起来说：“金月兰的'都得利'开在哪里?”毛小妹道：“西平有两个'都得利'，一个是总店，一个是分店。总店在人民中路七十八号，坐一路、十六路、六十一路公共汽车都能到。” 杨世光掏出十元钱，“老板娘，把饭钱和报纸钱收了。想不到她经了这么多波折。是该去看看她。钱不用找了。”毛小妹从鞋盒做的钱盒里用夹子夹了两张两元钱递给杨世光，“不行不行。你们已经照顾我的生意了。往常，这时候恐怕还没开张呢。”杨世光只好把钱收下。 史天雄穿好外套，又盯着小木牌看了一会儿，说道：“小妹，你的手工面做得很有特色。下岗一元面，这个点子也很好。世界上有很多成功的企业，都是靠一个好点子发展起来的。你也可以用这个点子，开个下岗一元店什么的，卖小面，卖馒头，卖蔬菜，收益肯定不错。下岗两个字阶段性太强，其实可以叫毛小妹一元店。” 毛小妹听得出了神。这时，一对青年男女骑着自行车过来了。男青年留着披肩长发，穿着怪异，令人联想到街头艺术家这个词。少女穿着一身白，像个白狐一样，粗看，是个十五六岁的小姑娘，天真无邪，细看，又像个熟透了的少妇，眼角眉梢尽是风情。三五个钥匙经一根红绸带一穿，随意荡在胸前，叫人怎也无法辨出她的真实年龄。史天雄神色突变，有些失态地看着这个渐渐走近的白衣少女。男青年大咧咧地喊一声：“老板娘，来两碗小面——” 杨世光也感觉到了少女身上流淌的难以言状的魅力，一看史天雄的样子，先醒了过来，拽着史天雄的衣袖，转身走了。毛小妹也觉得奇怪，本想感谢史天雄几句，一看那男青年眼里已露出敌意，把话咽了下去。 没等杨世光问询，史天雄自言自语地说：“不可能，不可能，袁慧今年也四十好几了。实在是太像，这也不太可能。”杨世光打趣道：“天雄，想不到你还有宝二爷多情的一面，也会说这个妹妹我在哪里见过。稀奇，真是稀奇。”史天雄冷笑一声，“有什么稀奇的。谁都年轻过。这个女孩很像袁慧，实在太像了，白衣服，脖子上挂钥匙，都像，让人不可思议。”杨世光问：“是不是初恋的女孩?肯定是。否则，记不了这么清楚。”史天雄没肯定，也没否定。 中年男人的内心，已经像一片平静的湖泊，一块小石头，已很难引发波及整个湖面的涟漪。上了出租车，史天雄已经把这个小插曲浓缩成一个主题乐句放到了记忆的黑匣子里，此时，他的内心正在播放着十八年前珍藏的曲子了，在这段重现的时光里，女主角是将要见面的金月兰。 早上七点钟，金月兰一天忙碌的生活开始了。 下海两年多了，看上去一切都在朝好处变。“都得利”在西平的商业零售界做出了名声，在宴园小区有了一套自己的私房，女儿的学习成绩开始在重点中学名列前茅。可这一切，仅仅给金月兰带来一些安慰，并没给她带来多少幸福和欢愉。相反，她感觉到一个个困惑接踵而至，生活的味道渐渐发生了质的变化。六大商场竟联起手向小小的“都得利”发难，这让金月兰始料不及。这些日子，金月兰一直在问自己：“难道我金月兰已经站在国家的对立面了?”如果自己下海经商，仅仅是为了挣钱，仅仅是为了解个人生活的燃眉之急，那么今天的金月兰和那个十八年前眉头没皱就捐了二十万遗产的金月兰到底还有什么关系?如果现在的金月兰和过去的金月兰没有什么质的区别，开商店只是承担自己的一份社会责任，那“都得利”商业零售公司为什么就成了国营大商场的敌人? Chapter Four Section VII 金月兰无法想清楚这些。她只是感觉到不能放弃以最低价在市场立足的经营方针，不能妥协。当初走这一步，目的并不是开一家可以用来养家口的鸡毛小店。不说什么远大的理想，也不讲什么百万富婆、亿万富姐的野心，金月兰只认准了一条：让广大群众欢迎的“都得利”发展壮大并没有错。 翻完当天的《西平都市报》，金月兰的心愈发变得沉重了。春节前后，大商场肯定要挑起降价大战，用这种最直接也最残酷的方法，逼那些实力单薄的对手退出角斗场，或者把它们杀死。“都得利”怎么应战?应战或许还谈不上，“都得利”明年春天还能维持吗?靠李姐为首的、全部由退休下岗人员组成的娘子军迎战，行吗?当然不行。让金月兰感到悲凉的是：“都得利”招聘广告登了一个多星期，男性应聘者只来过三个人。如果短时间内找不到一个男性总经理，“都得利”的日子恐怕就更难了。 金月兰仰靠在椅子上发了一会儿呆，再坐直了伸手去拿办公桌上的一叠报表，猛然间发现玻璃板里映出的凌乱头发里竟像是藏了一些白霜，不禁吃了一惊。慌忙从抽屉里拿出一个镜子，对着翻找好一会儿，没发现一根白发。刚出了一口长气，她无奈地发现眼角的两三条纤细的鱼尾纹像是变深变长了。她索性站起来，仔细审视了刚刚度过四十岁生日的自己。身材依然显得苗条而富有曲线，眼睛依然明亮而有深度，双颊还带着自然而均匀的潮红，双唇不涂口红而依旧鲜艳和饱满，一头青丝没用任何护发产品依然能发出湿润的光泽。她对自己说：还用不着为眼角这几条浅浅的鱼尾纹而惊慌失措。她对着小镜子微笑了。笑容刚刚绽放，又僵住了。女为悦己者容。金月兰又一次想起了该死的男人! 在金月兰四十岁的生命里，男人留给她的美好的记忆实在少得可怜。回想起来，只有区区四个男人在她的生活中产生了实实在在的影响。前两个男人，一个是她父亲，一个是她的祖父。一九四九年冬天，两路解放大军从东面和北面对西平形成了合围态势，无数个西平的有产家庭面临是走是留的两难选择。在一个寒冷的冬夜里，在西平商界赫赫有名的资本家金西林和小儿子金钟鸣之间发生了一场激烈的冲突。金西林万万没有想到自己寄予厚望的小儿子，早在两年前就是一名中共地下党员了。父亲的要求很简单：只要小儿子跟他去台湾，他不会追究儿子在政治上年幼无知所犯的错误。小儿子的要求也很简单：只要父亲留在西平，不转移任何资产，他保证全家在新的政权下能保留一定的合法地位。父子俩都没让步，谈话以父亲打儿子一记耳光和儿子一份与父亲和家庭断绝一切关系的声明结束了。一个星期后，父亲带着一家主要成员登上了西平飞往昆明的飞机，从那里转飞台北；儿子当天就把父亲惟一带不走的资产——一个偌大的院子，变成了知识界促成西平和平解放的大本营。五年后，金钟鸣和一位西南军区的女战士结了婚。两年后，这个在延安孤儿院长大的女战士，生下金月兰四十天，死于产后风。以后的九年，金月兰和整天郁郁寡欢的父亲相依为命。“文革”开始后，郁闷成疾的父亲撒手尘寰，金月兰像她母亲一样进了孤儿院。八年后，初中毕业的金月兰到国棉六厂当了一名挡车工。在金月兰的记忆里，父亲的形象和焦裕禄十分相似，留着一边倒的发型，没日没夜地披着衣服坐在一张破藤椅上为党工作着，剩下的时间，就是燃起一根纸烟，望着窗外西平那总也不会晴朗的天空沉思。父亲那个时候在想什么，金月兰不知道。金月兰只记得父亲对她说得最多的一句话：“我们的一切，包括我们的生命，都是党给的。你永远都要相信党，依靠党。”父亲的临终遗言，也是这样一句话。 二十一岁那年冬天，厂长带着民政局的干部找到了她。民政局的干部对她说：“金月兰同志，你的祖父金西林上个月七号在台中市病故了。老人去世前，留了一份遗嘱。在这份遗嘱里，他特别注明为你留下税后二十万人民币的遗产。”金月兰当即表示不要资本家的臭钱，她父亲与反动旧家庭决裂的声明在国民党的《西平日报》上发表过，她与这个去世的资本家爷爷没有任何关系，党培养教育了多年，她有工资，有工作，不要这笔遗产。厂长说：“月兰同志，接受这笔遗产，是一项政治任务。政府刚发表了《告台湾同胞书》，叶剑英提出了和平统一祖国的九项主张。你接受这笔遗产，也算为祖国统一大业做了贡献。”金月兰一听这是组织决定，这才在有关接受遗产的文件上签了字。西平市孤儿院发生火灾第三天，金月兰就把这二十万元捐了出去。时隔一二十年，金月兰还是想不明白祖父为什么要为她留下这二十万遗产。是血缘的呼唤?是为了显示做祖父的公平?是对幺儿英年早逝的痛悼和追怀?抑或是耄耋老人用来表达比血还要浓的乡愁?不管是为什么，祖父这一个念头，彻底改变了她的人生道路。 另一个男人，就是她的前夫刁明生。这些年来，她很少想起这个只给她带来无限伤痛的男人。这个世界上与她发生亲密接触的惟一的男人，以阴谋闯进她的生活，以背叛和谎言远离她的生活，这样劣迹斑斑的前夫，哪一个女人愿意时常回忆和他一起生活的任何一个瞬间?如果不是女儿晶晶的存在，金月兰肯定能够把这十三年婚姻生活从记忆里彻底抹去。 Chapter Four Section VIII 最后一个男人，就是史天雄。有很多年，金月兰已经遗忘了这个男人的存在。这个让她无话可说、一言难尽的男人，曾经被她诅咒过几千遍。她知道，史天雄是无辜的，但她还是忍不住地想诅咒他，特别是她遭遇婚姻危机的那些年。今天历经磨难终于可以平静地看待历史的金月兰，理智地认为，选择刁明生做丈夫的决定，与史天雄毫无关系，至少没有直接关系。可在当时，金月兰必须把这笔账记在史天雄头上。一个就要做父亲的魁梧英俊的男人，而且还是个刚刚为国家立了大功的战斗英雄，为什么要向一个从来没有谈过恋爱的姑娘隐瞒这个重要身份长达两个月零八天?难道你不清楚那个时代英雄的身份可以让无数个浪漫而纯真的少女想入非非、整夜难眠?一个有妇之夫，陪一个大姑娘过马路，为什么要用手轻轻碰姑娘的肩膀和腰肢，嘴里还不停地说：“当心，当心”?你可以辩解这是男人的风度和教养的体现，可你想没想过姑娘生长的环境和受的什么教育?在孤儿院的几年，少量的男孩只是成群女孩嘲笑的对象。偌大的国棉六厂，男女比例是一比六十!同桌吃饭时，你为什么总给我一个人夹菜?仅仅是因为我的胳膊不够长吗?这完全是彻头彻尾的引诱，至少也是献危险的殷勤!终于，这个姑娘爱上了你，你却在某一天轻描淡写地对这姑娘说：“做完巡回报告，我就要当爸爸了。我希望是个儿子。”是你这个混蛋一脚把初恋中的姑娘踢进了冰窟窿!是你让这个姑娘失去了恋爱时必要和必需的聪明和理智，让她根本没想刁明生向她献无数的殷勤，目的只是想把她变成一把向上爬的梯子!她在婚前就允许刁明生亲她抱她，就是因为她在你的部队营区，看见你和你腆着大肚子的妻子，亲密无间地躺在黄叶满地的银杏树下，头挨头依在粗大的树干上晒那冷冬的夕阳。那一次，她去部队的目的，是想让你亲她一口，然后就和刁明生确立正式的恋爱关系。那些年里，金月兰很难用平常心看待她和史天雄那段短暂的情感经历。 金月兰正在疑惑自己为什么又一次想起了史天雄，一个肥胖的中年女人神秘地闪进屋子，把门掩上了。金月兰下意识地理着头发道：“冷不丁的，把我吓一跳。什么事?”女人压低嗓音说道：“月兰，外面来两个找你的男人，一个比一个高，一个比一个帅，一个比一个结实。他们一人拿一份报纸，说要见你……”金月兰扑哧一声笑了起来，“李姐，又不是介绍对象，说他们高矮胖瘦干什么?他们是不是来应聘的?”李姐说：“你一天不成家，我就得操这份心。看着不像是来应聘的。他们说认识你，有十好几年没见你了。一口普通话，丁点椒盐味都没有，不像是西平人。”金月兰狐疑地思想一会儿，“十来年没见的熟人?想不起来是谁了。要是来应聘的有多好。李姐，麻烦你请他们在进来。” 刚一见面，寒暄的话还没说完，上班时间到了，出纳和会计也进了这间宽大的办公室。金月兰只好把史天雄和杨世光送到店门口，提出晚上请他们在老妈红火锅城吃饭。 杨世光注意到金月兰初见史天雄时一闪而过的少女般的羞涩和慌乱，认为自己去吃这顿火锅不合适，下午突然变卦，打电话说叫舟桥团的战友拖住了。史天雄骂了杨世光心理阴暗，独自去了老妈红火锅城。 因为时间间隔的悠长，吃火锅的时间只够双方填履历表式的答问，深度不过比英国人见面问天气略嫌亲近。这显然不是曾经相互惺惺相惜男女重逢剧目的核心。吃完火锅，金月兰把上演全本重逢剧目的舞台选在锦江的沿江公园里。锦江自古被西平人尊称为母亲河。这条母亲河在西平市近百年的工业化进程中已经变了质，成了一条人见人厌的排污河。燕平凉市长上任后，因为西平的原始积累已颇具规模，咬牙勒裤带在一片反对声和疑问目光下拿出近百亿人民币，投入治理母亲河的工程。三年下来，市府招商引资的广告中，已经可以写上“这里有堪与法国赛纳河、德国莱茵河比美的居住环境”了。只用看看它现在银河下凡的晚景，和那些在初冬的寒冷里紧紧依偎在小石凳上不肯回家的情侣，就明白什么叫功在千秋了。 金月兰倚在江边的护栏上，望着星光点点的江水说：“天雄，我注意到你一直没有问我后不后悔捐二十万遗产这个问题。这有什么好问的?谁要问你，史天雄，你后不后悔参加了十几年前那场局部战争，摸着战场上留下的伤疤，看着今天两国高层领导互访的新闻，有何感想，不是很可笑吗?你当了很久的官，很大的官，可你没有改变。我真高兴能在这个时候见到一个不会问我后不后悔这种问题的老朋友。我不后悔，即便我今天一贫如洗，我也不后悔。回忆起我们一起做报告的情形，我还是认为它单纯美丽。你不会笑我吧?”史天雄露出白牙笑了，赞叹地说：“说句心里话，我很佩服你。一个理想主义时代终结了，可并非所有的理想主义者都改变了初衷。世界永远都需要理想主义者。你刚才谈的一个细节对我触动很大。你们'都得利'有党支部，这并不特别，特别的是你们还定期发展党员，入党宣誓仪式还要升党旗，高唱《国际歌》。”金月兰转过脸说道：“你可别夸我。升党旗、唱《国际歌》，还是从你嘴里听说的。你不知道当时你给我讲这些时我的心情，真像受了基督教说的洗礼。可惜我入党时根本没举行这个仪式。我是'都得利'的党支部书记，有权了，当然要搞这个仪式。”史天雄听呆住了，老半天才叹息一声，“可惜这种仪式很多地方都不搞了，包括我们部里。形式有时候很重要，可惜我们总是做把孩子和洗澡水一起泼掉的傻事。走你现在这条路的人会越来越多，我不知道有多少人会坚持搞这种入党宣誓仪式。像你这样的私营业主实在太少了……”金月兰一听私营两个字，马上打断道：“在你眼里，我是不是已经变成资本家了?你说太少是什么意思?你已经知道了，我走这一步很无奈。'都得利'公司所有员工，都是下岗人员，至于存不存在剥削，我不敢肯定……反正你认为我是资本家就算是资本家吧。谁让我爷爷是资本家呢，谁让他老人家临终前在台湾还能想起留在大陆的儿子呢。我爸十八岁就加入了地下党，倒是没人再提了。西平报纸的记者，也总是拿我的今天和我爷爷作比较，好像我父亲根本就没有存在过。好了，不再表白了。反正我当董事长兼总经理的'都得利'公司如今已经站到国营商场的对立面了，我再表示对党对政府的忠诚，谁会相信。”打机关枪一样扫射一通后，金月兰独自往前走了。 Chapter Four Section IX 史天雄微笑着看了一会儿金月兰的背影，疾走几步追上去，说道：“我相信。怪不得毛主席会说：世界上怕就怕认真二字，共产党就最讲认真。你还是这样认真呀。资本家实际上是个中性词，这几十年词性才变了。像你这样对私营这个词保持敏感的人也太少了。月兰，如果有那么一天，我不当官了，到'都得利'给你打工，你欢迎不欢迎?”金月兰停住步子，扭头看着史天雄，哧哧地笑了起来，“你这个玩笑可开大了。堂堂一个少壮派副司长落到要到'都得利'打工的地步，中国成了什么样子了?难以想象。”史天雄严肃地说：“这可不是玩笑。中国离这一步不远了。全国吃财政饭的人有三千多万，政府官员占八百万，这种状况不改变，那才不得了。告诉你吧，我来西平不是出差，而是来天宇集团公司报到，当特派员。你不信?给，你看看，这是调令。为什么没去报到?去了，王传志给我一个下马威，工人们打出横幅不让我进门。滞留西平，是没有找到解决这个问题的办法。留在天宇集团，肯定要触及王传志等人的利益，进而会影响到天宇集团的经营。就这样不了了之，组织决定的严肃性无从谈起，还会助长天宇集团主要领导的山头主义思想，对天宇的国有资产不负责任。当然，也关乎本人的面子和前途。很难取舍。”金月兰对着路灯看看调令，气愤地说：“这个王传志也太霸道了。听人讲他这个人有点老奸巨猾，怎么会明目张胆和上级对抗呢?”史天雄道：“我也想不清里面的原因。红太阳集团败了，如日中天的天宇集团恐怕也存在危机。这可都是国有经济的支柱企业呀。如果其它经济力量都成了气候，国家拿什么去均衡、调节之间的关系?十五大后，私营经济会进入一个黄金发展时期，不久的将来，私营经济肯定会成为国民经济的重要支柱。这就是我为什么要说像你这样的私营业主太少的原因。国家、民族、个人，都到了关键时期，有些事情不去做，恐怕就来不及了。我有个小舅子叫陆承伟，暗中搞了十几年私营，如今已经是亿万富翁了。你父亲当过地下党，我父母亲都当过地下党，你我恐怕都不希望
