Apart from Li Ying and his wife Zhao, Wang De's first friend was Lan Xiaoshan.Mr. Lan is the director of the newspaper where Wang De works. Except for the editor-in-chief, Mr. Lan has the best position.If Wang Deqin respects him because of his high status, how can we count our good Wang Deqin!In fact, Mr. Lan's personality, experience, and knowledge are all enough to make Wang De feel awed. The manuscripts written by Wang De since entering the newspaper can only be said to have been written by him, but have not been printed in a newspaper once.At first he put the manuscript in an envelope and handed it over to the chief writer, who then threw it into the wastebasket; except for his own displeasure, he never told anyone else, even the Li sisters; Willing to show weakness to people's hearts.Later, he gradually became acquainted with Mr. Lan, so that he involuntarily took out the manuscript and asked Mr. Lan to criticize; from this, he saw that Wang De was just like other aspiring young people, and he was willing to be educated humbly when he saw people with real skills.Some manuscripts Mr. Lan criticized really pertinently, even if Wang De himself was the chief author, he would not accept them.Some Mr. Lan praised it very much: how smooth the writing is, and how interesting the content is; Wang De couldn't help but be grateful for his appreciation, and hated the blindness of the chief writer even more.

Mr. Lan's appearance is not handsome, but he is elegant and elegant. Naturally, Wang De does not judge people by their appearance. Mr. Lan is about twenty-five or twenty-six years old, with a thin and oval face, with a pointed nose hanging from the middle.A pair of small gold-threaded blue light glasses are hung on the bridge of the nose. The light blue light covers a pair of "cross-eyed". The living room; if it is bigger, it seems to be half-swallowed by a tengu, and the simultaneous solar and lunar eclipses, but covered by blue glasses, it is not obvious from a distance.Thin lips, with a Japanese-style mustache, appear young and mature.Long hair, hanging down to the nape, has the same abundance as Western poets.Now he is wearing a black lambskin gown, covered with a light yellow Henan silk shirt.With a white horsetail whisk in his hand, the wind blows, the silk shirt flutters from the lower part, the white whisk covers the front chest, the long hair is scattered behind the neck, the upper, middle and lower parts are dancing in the wind, it is really ecstatic.On his head was a small blue satin cap with a knot of red silk stitched on it. Due to the thick hair, the vertical line of the brim of the cap was at the level of the eyebrows at the front and only reached the ears at the back.A pair of thick-soled official boots with blue satin and green leather face under one step, and high-tube foreign-style sports socks knitted with camel hair are exposed on the knees.I feel even more charming with light boots and small sleeves!

Needless to say anything else, only works on education in the world, according to what he told Wang De, he has read three-quarters of the world's total.He was originally an educator, but because of disagreements with those who run education, he resigned from his teaching position and joined the newspaper industry.Now he has completed three-quarters of his books on "Organization of Newspapers" and "Journalism."In terms of reality, he has really read four-quarters, but he is humble by nature and does not want to talk too much; adding that the sound of the word "three" is louder than the word "four", so he always says three-quarters.

Wang De was looked down upon by the chief writer, and wanted to resign, but Mr. Jing Lan was moved, as if he was embarrassed to leave such a good person. "Dasheng!" Mr. Lan gave Wang De the title "Dasheng";When Wang De saw the words on the plaque hanging outside the doctor's door, he was even more pleased.And he was so proud that people called him "Dasheng".Sometimes I feel that I am not very respectful to him, if people call him "Wang De".Mr. Lan said: "What's your friend's name? I'm talking about the one who believed in Jesus." Mr. Lan flicked the ash of the cigarette with his right index finger. Roll in the cigarette sent out of the nostril and make a small circle.A pair of cross-eyed eyes looked down at the swirl of the smoke from under the glasses frame, and nodded slightly, as if there were so many poetic thoughts and fantasies in it!

"Li Ying." Wang De said. "That's right! I've written too many articles these days, and my mind is a little out of sorts. Why does he believe in religion?" "He—he was an honest man. Due to the oppression of the environment, he was a little bit unconfident, and he didn't believe in everything in society, so he aroused his enthusiasm for religion. According to my opinion, this is the reason why he believed in religion. I can't say for sure. "Wang Dezhen has gained experience, and he doesn't complete what should be said when he speaks! "That's his mental weakness! Don't you understand 'psychology'?" "'Psychology'—"

"I can see from your first day here that you don't understand 'psychology,' which is the application of my 'psychology.'" Wang De was really moved!You can see if you understand 'psychology' as soon as you meet, and it is the application of 'psychology'!So knowledgeable!Wang De put away all his pride and said bluntly: "I don't understand 'psychology'!" "Of course you don't understand! It's just that I haven't dared to say everything about it after studying it for three years. I can only explain 'religious psychology' and 'political psychology'. As for 'geographical psychology' and 'plant psychology', I don't know. Chase! Fortunately, what I understand is important, and it doesn’t matter if I don’t understand the last few items.”

"What is 'psychology' and what is its use?" Wang De asked earnestly. "'Psychology' is the science of observing people's hearts!" Wang De still didn't understand, and asked again: "Can you give me a metaphor, sir?" "Dasheng! Call me 'Xiaoshan'. Don't call me Mr. every day. When you work together, you should be like a brother. Don't be polite! As for an example-it's not easy." Mr. Lan put his hands on his forehead and thought quietly Three or four minutes. "Yes! Do you understand our chief writer's temper?"

"I don't understand!" Wang De replied. "Yeah! That's why you don't understand 'psychology'. If you understand, you can tell a person's heart from his words, actions, for example, you send a manuscript to our editor, and he reads it Be sure to frown first. If you understand his psychology, you can conclude that this frown is a sign that he intends to accept your manuscript, because it is the identity of the chief writer. When he frowns, you quickly say: "Please revise, sir." Your manuscript Make sure to publish it. If you don’t understand this, and he frowns, you can tell him what’s good and what’s wrong, then go to the wastebasket and look for your manuscript! This is easy to understand, this is ‘psychology’!”

Wang De understands!It's not that my manuscript is not good, it turns out that I lack the knowledge of 'psychology'.But everyone understands 'psychology', so the affairs of the world are all about flattery and flattery?He was puzzled, but he didn't dare to ask more questions. Anyway, Mr. is knowledgeable, even if he is not completely right, he is much better than me. "Yes! I understand!" Wang De could only answer like this! "Dasheng! In the future, when you write manuscripts, you don't have to be polite. Give it to me first. I will read it for you, and then send it to the chief writer. I can guarantee that he will definitely adopt it. I took a rough look and didn't bother. How much do you earn in a month?" Wouldn't it be nice to have a dollar!" Lan Xiaoshan took a sharp puff on the nearly exhausted cigarette butt, looked at it again, and threw it into the spittoon when he couldn't smoke any more.Then he stuck out his tongue and licked his burnt lips.

"Thank you for your kindness." Wang De really appreciated Xiao Shan. "Master, how much do you get every month?" "From the newspaper?" "From home!" "I only get ten yuan from the newspaper, and I don't ask for money from my family." Wang De is very proud of his independent life. "How can ten dollars be enough!" "Frugal with those who have leftover money!" "Strange! I get 50 a month here, and I have to ask my family for 60. Sometimes it's not enough. My father has five businesses in the three northeastern provinces. The former president asked him to be the head of agriculture and commerce. Guess what he said? "Just because the president was so mischievous when he was studying with me when he was young, now he asks me to work under him, I can't lose that face!" You say how stubborn the old man is! So now he would rather give me more money than allow me to enter Political circles, otherwise I would have been the deputy chief long ago!"

Wang De understood again: Don't blame Xiao Shan for being so elegant. He is originally a son of a rich family, but he is willing to study hard without any arrogance, which is really admirable! "Dasheng!" Xiao Shan continued, "If you can really save money, why don't you save it? I don't save money, but I always ask my friends to do it. Who can guarantee that things will always go smoothly; some savings are the safest!" Lan Xiaoshan He took out a few small red leather notebooks from his pockets, waved them before Wang De's eyes, and put them in his pockets again.Wang De seemed to see the words "Datong Bank" printed in gold letters on those little red books.Lan Xiaoshan went on to say: "I look down on money, but I don't object to other people's saving money, because the rich and the poor are different and cannot be generalized. One of my father's five business transactions is a bank account, so my friends entrust me to handle them for them." Savings. Dasheng! If you want to save money, no matter how small the amount, I can help you!" "Yes! After a month or two, I will get my clothes in order. I will entrust you to do it for me." Wang De didn't know how to praise Xiao Shan.People who are rich can understand those who have no money. If they are not knowledgeable and cultivated, how can they have such brilliant insights. "Why do you buy clothes? Look at me!" Xiao Shan lifted up the Henan silk blouse, "It's just this blouse. I still think it's gorgeous. If it wasn't for meeting important people sometimes, I wouldn't wear this robe at all." Wear it! You have knowledge in your stomach, and you don’t need to dress well.” “Then I will entrust you to deposit two yuan in the bank when I get my salary next month!” Wang De didn't dare to say more, because every word was criticized by Xiao Shan earnestly and piercingly. "You can also go to the bank by yourself!" "I've never been to a bank." "Leave it to me, but fortunately, you can hold the deposit book yourself, so you won't be worried!" "You hold it for me, you are more reliable than me, so don't worry!" "Of course, these five are all my friend's deposit slips, and none of them belong to me." Xiao Shan pointed to his own pocket again. Xiao Shan said something else, and Wang De gained a lot of knowledge.Then Xiao Shan went to the city to do business, and Wang De started to do his work. Wang De really likes it!Apart from Li Ying's uncle, he has never met a man as educated as Lan Xiaoshan since he was a child.Even if Li Ying's uncle is better than Lan Xiaoshan, the old man still owes some new knowledge.Comparing Li Ying to Xiao Shan, Li Ying is just a friend with a congenial temperament, who will not gain any benefit in learning, while Xiao Shan, only Xiao Shan, is a true friend with perfect morals and knowledge! Wang Dehuan finished the work happily, and walked into the city singing all the way.The wind is still strong, and the road is still very quiet, but happiness is a sharp weapon to break through all darkness; and having good friends is the greatest pleasure in the world, Wang De's state of mind is not unique.
