Chapter 5 first quarter

On the day I got the visa, I didn't stay in Beijing much.I flew back like a worm curled up in a bird-like plane.I didn't expect Mi Wei to pick me up at the airport. I had no checked luggage, so I exited the exit ahead of most travelers.I saw the crowd of people waiting, but I didn't care about the person who picked me up.In this city where I feel so alone, I have no one to look forward to. There were quite a few graceful women in the waiting crowd, as I could tell from their dress and figure.The reason why I don't pay attention to their faces is because I feel that no matter how beautiful these people are, it has nothing to do with me.I don't pay attention to any beauties now, because I have a visa to go abroad.I'm about to say "I love you, China".

I didn't expect Mi Wei to be among these beauties. She jumped in front of me like a naughty deer and said, "Sir, do you want to stay in a hotel?" I didn't say no because my eyes were sharper than my mouth.I found out that the person who spoke to me was Mi Wei!I was surprised and delighted, and said why are you here? "I called your cell phone and it said you were turned off. I concluded that you must be on the plane," Mi Wei said, "so I came here." "Why are you here?" I said. "Why didn't I come?" Mi Wei said. "I didn't call anyone to pick me up," I said.

"I knew no one would come to pick you up, so here I am." "You seem to know that I will bring you delicious food," I said, "you are a prophet." I took out a bag of preserved fruit from my handbag on the spot and gave it to Mi Wei. Mi Wei took the candied fruit, as happy as if she got a baby. "It's not called foresight, it's a sympathy," she said, "because you thought of buying me food, and it's my favorite food." We walked out of the terminal hall, as relaxed and happy as walking out of a church.I saw the Civil Aviation bus parked outside the airport, and walked towards it consciously or subconsciously.Mi Wei said we can take a taxi.

I stopped and took a look at Mi Wei, the female college student in front of me was so extravagant, like a swan.I said ok. Sitting in a taxi with the air conditioner on, thinking about the destination of 50 kilometers, I said you also came to pick me up by taxi? Mi Wei chewed the preserved fruit, "Can't you?" She said with the preserved fruit in her mouth. I said I didn't say no. "I'm richer now than in the past, you know that," Mi Wei said, "Which dissolute lady still takes the bus when going out now? Besides, I'm better than them, right?" "What nonsense are you talking about? Don't talk nonsense!" I stopped Mi Wei, preventing her from criticizing herself.I'm afraid she will say more explicit things, for example, Li Lun, the predator next to her, was introduced by me.Li Lun gave her a lot of money, making her richer and superior than all the college students.She now wears every skirt, bra, and panty that isn't high quality and expensive.The perfume she uses comes from France, which can make women jealous and men intoxicated or impulsive.If the relationship between her and Li Lun is a good thing, then I have the credit for it, otherwise it is a crime.I now consider it sinful since their relationship is over.In a struggle or contest between abortion and anti-abortion, Li Lun and Mi Wei confronted each other, and the two turned against each other.The result of this contest was that Li Lun agreed to all the conditions, but in the end Mi Wei's pregnancy was false.Although I am not the planner of this incident, I am the instigator.I'm guilty.The more Mi Wei said, the more sinful I felt.

"Okay, I'm not talking nonsense. It's fine if you want me not to talk nonsense," Mi Wei said, her conversation changed like her eyes rolled suddenly, "but you have to agree to my conditions." "What conditions?" "During the days before you go abroad, give you to me and let me control you." "How is this possible?" I said, "I still have a lot of things to do, besides, I'm not your... special car, right?" "Then can't I occupy you?" Mi Wei said, "You are going abroad, but I have never been with you properly, and I am about to lose you." Mi Wei frowned, looking very wronged .

I said okay, I will give you all my spare time. Mi Wei's face recovered, and she said to the driver: "Master, please drive directly to the Hawaii Hotel!" The Hawaii Hotel is like a maze. When I came here for the first time, I didn't know where to eat, drink, play and sleep.But Mi Wei must have been here before. Like a regular customer, she led me into the lobby, took the elevator, walked down the corridor, and finally stopped in front of a room door. Mi Wei took out a room card and said, "Here." I said, "What's this?" I meant what it was for. "The room card, it's electronic, you insert it into the lock, and when the light turns green, turn the doorknob and go in."

"That's right?" I said, "Aren't we here for dinner?" "You don't have to open a room to put your luggage down before dinner?" Mi Wei said, she obviously opened the room before picking me up at the airport, "carrying luggage to the restaurant, like a country bumpkin." "It's too noble to open a special room for storing luggage," I said. "You will live here today, you won't go back." Mi Wei said, I think this is her real purpose of opening the room. I said, "Isn't that okay? Isn't it good?"

Mi Wei said: "This is a four-star hotel, and you still say it's not good! Do you want to change to a five-star hotel?" I was about to say that I didn't mean that, but Mi Wei said first that I know what you mean, let's go in first, it's not good to stand here for too long, someone is watching.Who am I talking about?And look around, see no one else.Mi Wei smiled and said that it scared you. I opened the door and entered the room, Mi Wei then closed the door.I saw a big bed, like the deck of the Titanic, this is a sunken ship, I can't go on it, I thought at first sight.Mi Wei and I are now on the verge of danger. As long as we get on this boat, there will be accidents, no, disasters.I don’t want anything to happen or any difficulties at this time, because I’m going abroad, that’s my tomorrow—the hope I’ve worked so hard to see can’t be destroyed by impulse on the eve of tomorrow.I must hold the last line of defense, just not get on that boat.

"What are you looking at?" Mi Wei said, "Put your luggage down!" She took my suitcase and put it on the top of the low cabinet. Seeing that I was still standing, she said, "Sit down!" I sat on the sofa and Mi Wei poured me a cup of tea.I looked at my watch while drinking tea.Mi Wei said it's still early for dinner, you should take a shower first.I'll put water on you.She said and went to the bathroom. The sound of splashing water came from the bathroom, like the mountain stream flowing into the stone tank behind my old house. It was the sound that I never tire of in my childhood and adolescence, like folk and primitive music.Every time I come back from work or school, listening to the gurgling sound of water, I can't help but take off my clothes and pants and go to the back of the house to let the mountain spring, which is warm in winter and cool in summer, wash myself.It was a rinse without soap or any detergent. Before and after every bath, I always smelled my armpits to compare the concentration of sweat odor. Every time I could feel the charm of water from the obvious contrast.

I couldn't help standing up, because the sound of splashing water attracted or called me.I unbuttoned my jacket and took off my jacket, completely unaware of Mi Wei's existence. Mi Wei came out of the bathroom at this time, and I was unzipping my pants.I was startled, and quickly closed the zipper, like a loyal farmer seeing a weasel and closing the chicken coop.Mi Wei smiled and said the water was ready.I faced Mi Wei shirtless and said sorry.Why did she say sorry, don't you take off your clothes in the shower?Without further ado, I asked for a change of clothes from my luggage and went into the bathroom.

I soak in the tub like a whale in shallow water.I was a little wheezing, but I don't think it was the temperature of the water and the steam, but the tension in my heart or the embolism of the blood flow.I'm taking a shower here, and a strange woman is outside.She should be regarded as a stranger, because our relationship is not close enough to be unscrupulous, even though she is my student.My student is seducing me and I am well aware that she is one of many students who have a crush on me, but she is now out of the crush and professing love to me.Can I accept her love?Yes, I thought first, Mi Wei is an open and casual female student, and she is not responsible for sleeping with her. The bathtub I soaked in is not a trap, and this room is not an abyss. I jumped up from the bathtub, pulled the towel and wrapped it around my lower body.I think I'll just go out like this.I was about to go out, but I glanced in the mirror.I want to take a look at myself before going out.The mirror surface was covered with mist, and I couldn't see myself.I first wiped the mirror with my hands, and saw my two nipples, like two red and swollen sores.I wiped my hand up and saw my eyes, like two muzzles of a gun.They suddenly terrified me.I simply tore off the bath towel and used it to wipe the mirror. I wanted to see all of me clearly, so maybe I wouldn't be afraid. A naked me appeared in the mirror, and I really had no fear.But I saw my ugliness and despicableness. I was like a wolf in sheep's clothing.I can't appear as a wolf, I thought. I got dressed and went out of the bathroom.I saw Mi Wei peeling an apple, and one was already peeled on the fruit plate.She handed me the peeled apple.I took the apple and waited until she had finished peeling the other before eating. For a while we all ate apples without saying a word.When picking apples, I thought of a North Korean movie, which has a new meaning at this moment: when the apples are ripe, love is also ripe, and the harvest time has come.The young Mi Wei is plump and rosy, making her mouth water.If you don't pick it at this time, when will you wait? I walked towards Mi Wei, Mi Wei tilted her face on the sofa, closed her eyes and waited. I put the uneaten apples aside and removed the apples from Mi Wei's hand.I held Mi Wei's face and knelt down. It was the first time my wife and I had kissed, touched and hugged with someone of the opposite sex after three years of separation.I am like a prisoner who has finally escaped after being trapped in a prison for three years, like water that has broken through a gate, like a tiger that sees an elk after a winter of starvation... I threw Mi Wei onto the bed and got into bed myself.The elastic bed suddenly shook and vibrated violently, like a ship hitting an iceberg.It was this great shaking that woke me up, and I felt the approach of disaster, like a roaring hurricane and waves, driving away my desire for pleasure.I felt a chill down my spine, like being licked by a gluttonous beast.My emotions plummeted, gliding and shrinking like a lowered flag. "What's the matter with you?" Mi Wei who was suddenly left out asked me. "I... can't, no, no, it's..." I stammered. "Why don't you want me?" "I want to, but..." Mi Wei said, "Do you think I'm dirty? Because I slept with other men." "No, no, you mustn't think like that," I said.In fact, I thought so. Mi Wei slept with Mandela, an overseas student, and Li Lun, my fellow countryman. I knew this, because they all knew her through me.They have acquired and possessed Mi Wei separately or successively, and they were once overjoyed, but now they are the man Mi Wei hates or hates the most.I also think they tainted Mi Wei, so she thinks she's dirty and I think she's dirty too.I don't think she is dirty, really, but I think of Mandela and Li Lun, a dark-skinned man and a black-hearted man, and now I want to go with them, and I have obstacles in my heart. "That's what I thought," Mi Wei said. "Actually, before them, you could want me, and I wanted to give me to you, but why didn't you want me? I was clean then." "Don't think so," I interrupted Mi Wei, "you have always been clean and pure." "Where am I pure?" Mi Wei sneered, "I'm no different from a prostitute, at most I just add the word 'advanced' in front of a prostitute, because I have a college diploma. Oh, I've already got my diploma, you know? ?” I said yes?OK!I looked very happy, trying to mobilize her joy. "I just got it, when you went to Beijing for the visa." "Congratulations!" I said, and I meant it sincerely, because it was not easy for her to get her graduation certificate.She is not a person of good character and learning.At East-West University, no student was more controversial than her.Her promiscuous behavior and image are confusing and affect her studies and status.Someone once proposed to expel her. Specifically, this person was Peng Bing, the deputy director of the Academic Affairs Office. She brought an anonymous letter and a set of materials to me because I was the director of the Academic Affairs Office.The anonymous letter reported that Mi Wei had an affair with the black student Mandela and lived together illegally, and the collated materials also proved that it was true, because there were confessions from Mi Wei and Mandela, and the two confessions were basically the same.But Peng Bing and I had a debate about whether Mi Wei could be fired based on this material.Peng Bing thinks that Mi Wei had sex with an overseas student and got a South African diamond from Mandela, which is a disguised form of prostitution and should be expelled.I said that firstly, if there is no school rule that college students have sexual relations with foreign students, they will be expelled. Second, the South African diamonds that Mandela gave to Mi Wei are gifts, and their contacts and sexual relations are out of control, not transactions.If it is a transaction, then Mandela is a prostitute, and he must be fired.Thirdly, I am Mandela's tutor. If he prostitutes, it shows that I am incapable of teaching, so I have to ask the school to punish me.Peng Bing said Director Zhang, this is definitely not aimed at you, don't get me wrong.I said I didn't misunderstand, but I was afraid of misleading my children.Mi Wei will be graduating in one month, and Mandela will return to China after finishing her studies. Their journey to study is long and long. I don’t want to give up all my efforts when I’m nearing the end. Bar.My tone softened, with elements of questioning and pleading.Peng Bing's attitude changed, she said okay, that's it.When do you go abroad for a visa?I said it for a few days.Did she say she was sure?I say sure.She said congratulations.I felt that her congratulations came from the heart, because as soon as I went abroad, she had the hope and possibility to become the director.I said don't worry, before I go abroad, I will definitely recommend you to the school to replace me.Because you did me a favor by agreeing not to expel two students who were close to me and being their patron saint like me. "I got half of the credit for getting my diploma, thank you!" Mi Wei said.She may know that I protect her, and she may also know that I gave her an upper-middle score when I reviewed her test paper, but she could not get this score according to my requirements and standards.The "Contemporary Literature" exam in my department is a thesis question, and students are asked to choose a contemporary writer to comment on.Mi Wei chose Wei Hui.She praised Wei Hui and her in the paper, which is against my point of view, and the number of words is only 1,000 words, which did not meet my requirement of 1500-2000 words.But I gave Liang to this paper, which at most could only pass, because her author is Mi Wei, someone who helped me, or someone who likes me and I like her. "But I don't lie by your side to repay you," Mi Wei said again, "but I want you because I love you. I have fallen in love with you a long time ago. But you don't want me because you don't love me .” "Mi Wei, I... I don't know how to tell you." "I know you love your wife," Mi Wei said, looking at the ceiling, "you are going abroad because of her. You are afraid that if you don't go out, your wife will change her mind because you love her. I have seen your Wife, that was when I was a freshman. She also went abroad that year? She is beautiful, as beautiful as me, but her temperament is better than mine. At that time, I thought that a man who can conquer and marry such an excellent woman must be talented , chic and suave. Then I inquired and found out it was you. So I took your class, got to know you, and... fell in love with you. But you didn’t fall in love with me. Not only did you not love me, you also made me Introduce to other men. I don't like the men you introduce, really, but I fuck them anyway. I fuck them because..." "Stop talking, okay?" I interrupted Mi Wei, because her speech was like an accusation, like exposing or tearing my face.For a project of the school, in order for the school to send me abroad after the project was implemented, I gave one of my favorite students as money to the person in charge of the project.This person is Li Lun, Director of the Project Planning Department of the Provincial Planning Commission. He is my fellow countryman and a classmate in primary and secondary school. Because of my relationship with him, the school entrusted me with the task and promised to send me abroad after the task was completed.I approached Li Lun for this, and used the beautiful Mi Wei as a bait and a meeting gift.Li Lun accepted it with a smile, because he likes beautiful women as much as he likes money, especially highly educated beauties.He wants to play with high-end women.He did play with Mi Wei, but he also paid the price for it.I don't know how much he gave Mi Wei, but he approved the project report of Dongxi University without accepting a penny of bribes.This is due to Mi Wei's contribution, and of course mine, because it is a project that benefits the present and contributes to future generations, as the school leaders said. "Okay, I won't talk about it," Mi Wei said. She sat up, got off the bed, and tidied her dress and hair. "Let's go to dinner." We come to the restaurant.This is the roof of the Hawaii Hotel, a spinning palace.I didn't realize it was a spin palace at first.When Mi Wei was ordering, I looked out at the city below me, specifically at the bridge across the Nanjiang River, as if staring at it with a huge arm.But gradually, the bridge disappeared, and what appeared in front of my eyes was a tall building on the same level as the Hawaiian Hotel. Only then did I know that I was in the spinning palace. The food and drinks that Mi Wei ordered were not many, but they were all of the best quality, which was no less high-grade than the banquet I had given to Li Lun with the school's public funds, but this time it was paid for privately. "Let's talk first, I'll treat you." I said. "Why are you treating me?" Mi Wei said. "Because I am a teacher." "I'm not a student anymore, because I've already got my diploma," Mi Wei said, "That means I'm a social person." "But you haven't worked yet." "Work?" Mi Wei smiled, "It's enough if you have money." "What money is not money, agreed? I invite." I said. Mi Wei said: "Whoever brings more money will pay." I stared at the food and drink and said, "How much does this table cost?" Mi Wei said: "You see clearly, the bird's nest alone costs two thousand, and this bottle of wine is XO, at least three thousand. Do you have so much money left?" Without thinking, I shook my head. "But I do. I have seven or eight thousand cash," Mi Wei said. She opened the Kun bag and showed me a wad of cash. "It's not enough, I still have a card." "What are you doing?" "It's nothing, I'm afraid you'll pay if you order less. I'm afraid you can afford it, so I order expensive ones." Mi Wei said. "Return the wine," I said, "We don't drink foreign wine, we drink national wine, even Wuliangye." "It's a joke," Mi Wei said, "I, Mi Wei, don't look back. I never regret what I do. Besides, you're going abroad soon. Drinking foreign wine is good for you, and it's commensurate with your identity and future life." I still wanted to say something, but Mi Wei stubbornly opened the bottle cap of the wine.The waiter then came to pour the wine, and the red liquid trickled into the glass. This was the most expensive liquid in the world, like blood.This seemed to be Mi Wei's blood too!I think. Mi Wei raised her glass and invited me to toast. I took a sip and put the glass down. "If you don't drink, I will!" Mi Wei drank the wine in one gulp. Then Mi Wei drank one cup after another like a madman, and did not listen to my persuasion. She kept the bottle close to her body to prevent me from snatching it.I knew it was useless to persuade her, so I let her drink.I suddenly wished she was drunk, because if she was drunk, she might be relieved. She was really drunk like crazy. I took out all the money I had on me, took a few thousand more from Mi Wei's bag, and settled the bill. Like a hostage, I dragged and hugged Mi Wei and went back to the room.I put her on the bed, took off her shoes and socks, and covered her with a towel.She fell asleep, calmer than taking sleeping pills.I poured a glass of water and put it on the bedside table.Then I go. I went back to college. The first thing I did when I got in was to call my wife.I had to tell her that I got a visa to go abroad.I called her residence, but no one answered.Then I remembered that it was daytime in England.During the day, my wife is usually not in the residence. Like me, she will come back very late, but she is in the library, prison cell, the client's home, and the court, while I am in the classroom, office, and restaurant.She studied law and worked as an assistant for foreign lawyers to earn money, while I was both an associate professor and a division chief, so I was available wherever I was needed. Peng Bing was sullen with the documents from the organization department, as if she was the one who was dismissed and not me, or it was not her who was promoted.She paced back and forth, raising the documents in her hand like little white flags, and it was okay not to raise them. I sat on the chair and looked at her, and said, "What are you doing, what are you not satisfied with? You should be happy." Peng Bing said: "I feel aggrieved for you, how can the document be written like this?" I said: "How can I write it if I don't write it like this?" Peng Bing said: "It should be stated that you are no longer the director because you want to go abroad, but you don't say what the reason is, as if you made a mistake." I said: "I did make mistakes. My biggest mistake was becoming the director of the Academic Affairs Office. Now that I am not the director, it means correcting mistakes, not making mistakes." "Then you mean that I made a mistake by succeeding you as the director?" Peng Bing said, "I originally sympathized with you, but I didn't expect that the person who should be sympathized was me." My back seemed to be pushed suddenly by someone, and I stood up straight and said, "Don't get me wrong, I'm targeting myself, not you. I'm different from you, really." "What's the difference?" "You sit down first, okay? Then I'll tell you." Peng Bing was sitting on the sofa, looking at me, waiting for me to speak. "I'm not an administration material," I said, "I was originally a teacher, and I taught well. I didn't expect to be an official. No, I didn't expect to be in politics. I didn't expect to be an administrator. The director is actually not an official. Bar?" "Yes." Peng Bing said. "That's right," I said, "but the reason why I became the director is purely to catch ducks on the shelves. To be clear, it is because of the needs of a project, that is, the project of our school to build a science and technology park. The school needs I run errands, but I can’t do errands without a corresponding administrative position, so it’s not easy to work. So the school gave me a director Dangdang. Maybe it’s because there is no place in other places that I can’t fit in, so I was assigned to the Student Affairs Office. You were supposed to be the Director of the Academic Affairs Office, but you were wronged to take care of me. Fortunately, I only served for three months. After the project is implemented, I will go abroad. It should be yours and it will be you in the end Yes. I'm so happy for you, really." "What about me?" Peng Bing said, "What's the difference between me and you? You didn't say anything." "You are honest and diligent," I said, "you adhere to principles, are loyal to your duties, are progressive in thinking, work hard, and have a decent style of work. I don't have these qualities, but you have them." "Is there any more?" "Also," I said, and I smiled, "that is, you are a woman and I am a man." Peng Bing couldn't help laughing, a very comfortable and sweet smile, this is really a rare smile, after I became the chief of the department.Her face was filled with comfort and contentment, like a woman who has not had an orgasm so easily had an orgasm. "Okay," I said, "I'm officially handing over the work and the seat to you." I said and stood up and left the desk. "Director Zhang," Peng Bing said, "There's no rush. I'll move here after you go abroad." "I'm not the director anymore," I said, and I walked up to her, and she stood up.I gave her the mobile phone of the head of school rations, like a retired military officer handing over his weapon.She took the phone, and my hand, and held it. "I've already handed you the director, and you accepted it. I don't care. Goodbye." I said. "Goodbye," Peng Bing said.She slowly withdrew her hands, as if she really had something precious in her hands.Her eyes revealed the light of temperament, like sparks from the snow-covered plateau, small and holy.This is a clean woman, I think, as strict as an egg, as clear as an egg, yellow is yellow, white is white.In colleges and universities where there are mixed fish and dragons or pebbles, it is not easy for her to keep her sobriety and not be broken.Like all people in politics, she wants to be promoted, but the purpose of her promotion is to prove her progress and to dedicate herself to the greatest extent. She is so pure, really.She graduated in 1977 and stayed at the school. She is a cadre trained by the school itself, just like a baby born to a close relative.She used to excel and was highly regarded by her alma mater. In the self-defense counterattack in 1979, she organized ten female college students to go to the front line to condolences to the soldiers.Standing on the ground where the gunpowder has not cleared, they sang and recited for the soldiers. Their vivid figures and voices, like goddesses, made the commanders and fighters who sacrificed their lives excited and worshiped.Their actions were praised by the national media, and they were hailed as the "Ten Sisters Supporting the Army".Their reputation has added luster to Dongxi University and once became the "teaching achievement" that the school is proud of. At that time, there was no word "brand".Six of those ten sisters later married soldiers, and Peng Bing was one of them.But five people got divorced later, and Peng Bing was the only one who did not.Her husband, who was a company commander at the time, is said to have had ten wounds and two medals.She married him while he was recuperating.Her husband returned to the army after recovering from his injuries and is still a company-level cadre.The reason why he was not promoted was because at that time, the promotion of the army had already emphasized knowledge, just like local places.Her husband has no diploma, and her education is only a junior college, and she is a student of workers, peasants and soldiers.As a result, the cadres trained by the alma mater were neglected and discriminated against like deformed children.She became the deputy director at the age of 40, and she has been the deputy director for eight years. Now she has finally removed the word "deputy".If I don't go abroad, I don't know when she will be the director of the department.She should be considered lucky, because her husband is worse than her. Ten years ago, he transferred to the school cafeteria, and now he is not even the section chief. "Goodbye, Sister Peng." I said kindly to this woman ten years older than me.
