It was already the beginning of March in the lunar calendar. Zhao Ziyue was still wearing the two unreleased clothes he bought in Tianjin with the spirit of struggle. spring breeze.The camel hair coat felt a bit bulky and dry, but for the sake of arousing the beauty of others, how could I not sacrifice my whole body of sweat! He entered Di'anmen and walked casually to Nanchang Street.The long and wide road is sandwiched by tender green willows into a green alley. To the east is the red wall of Central Park, and green pine branches are exposed on the top of the wall, as if the old pines are tired of seeing the park and want to see the scenery outside the wall.There are a few light lotus-colored March blue flowers scattered under the wall. Although they are just a few small flowers, they show the loveliness of spring in the smallest and simple place.The radish sellers on the roadside put the bright red radish on the green spinach leaves, happily calling the sound of spring in the sun.This kind of scenery made Zhao Ziyue even feel: "When you get tired of playing in the Japanese Concession in Tianjin, there should be such a place for a change of breath!"

While strolling, he thought: I have to make peace with Lao Mo and Ouyang!I have been away for a few days, and these little brothers fight. As a big brother, I can't watch them be so vicious!It's me, I can hold them down; good!What are you talking about, Zhao Ziyue didn't dare to say anything else, the people in the rooftop apartment could always scream loudly, and stomp their feet to shake the whole apartment! ……right!Go to Lao Mo, you have to mediate with him!These kids, oh! Thinking of this, he couldn't help cheering up, took out a towel to wipe the sweat on his face, and then hailed a rickshaw to go to Tiancheng Bank in Xijiaomin Lane.

When he arrived at the bank, he handed in his business card. After a while, Mo Danian came out and let Zhao Ziyue into the living room.Mo Danian's appearance is still silly, but his clothes are a little more elegant; fortunately, his clothes are a little more gorgeous, otherwise Zhao Ziyue would really suspect that Mo Danian is a bank servant, not a bank officer as Li Shun said .This time, it was not that Zhao Ziyue had two "Hua Si Ge eyes" and judged his identity by the quality of his clothes, but the philosophy of "a man is a clothes and a horse is a saddle" made him unwilling to see Mo Danian's pretentious "" The "big traitor" ① on the surface of the prisoner's head! "Old Mo! Shaking!" Zhao Ziyue and Mo Danian shook hands affectionately and couldn't bear to separate: "In three years you will be the Chief Financial Officer! Good old Mo! Do it! Be strong!"

"Don't play tricks on me, Old Zhao! When did you come back?" Mo Danian asked. "It's been a few days since I've been back, and I didn't expect the friends in the apartment to be in a mess!" Zhao Ziyue said, causing infinite emotion: "I came to you specially today to make peace with you, silly good friend, what are you doing? Woolen cloth!" "Who are you making peace with, Old Zhao?" "You and Ouyang Tianfeng! Little brothers, the big brother is not at home for a few days, you see, you will fight!" Zhao Ziyue said with a smile.

"Everyone is easy to say, but Ouyang Tianfeng, I hate him to the end!" Mo Danian's blushing face turned purple again. "Old Mo, little fat man! Don't say that," Zhao Ziyue took out a cigarette and gave Mo Danian a cigarette, and lit one himself. "This doesn't sound like a bank boss!" "Old Zhao, don't make fun of me!" Mo Danian said earnestly, "I told you about Ms. Wang, didn't I? But since you left, Ouyang has been scolding Mr. Li! Old Li moved away aggrieved, can I see it? Besides, if Ouyang had no bad intentions, why did he become so suspicious that someone told you and Ms. Wang when you left? Old Zhao, You and I are a good friend of Baiyi, you love Ouyang, don't force me! I'm an old fool, I can't say anything, anyway, in the end, I won't see Ouyang again!"

"Look, little fat man! He has been in the market for a few days after entering the bank! Don't! You have to give me a face!" Zhao Ziyue said half mockingly half persuading: "We, including Ouyang, are not bad people at all. But they've got a little temper; who's not made of mud, but that can have a temper! Don't you, little fat man? You don't want to be friends with him, come on; but you've got to see me—your big brother— Go to a place to drink a cup of wine, so that we can nod and talk when we meet in the future! Love each other is the spirit of 'Democracy', otherwise, I will call you 'Bulzavik'!' Burza Vic' is another term for 'ermaozi'! Haha!"

"Let me ask you," Mo Danian became a little active: "You mediate for us, is there any old Li?" "Ah? Old Li?" Zhao Ziyue looked up at the patterns on the ceiling and thought for a long time: "Seriously, Lao Mo, I am really afraid of him! Not only me, but everyone is afraid of him. If he is here, I will be afraid of him." Immediately speechless!" "Then, you don't invite him?" Mo Danian gave Zhao Ziyue a hard look. "It's better not to have him than to have him—" "Let's just say it, Lao Zhao!" Mo Danian rushed to say: "I will go if there is Lao Li, who told you to be so kind; I will not go without Lao Li! Lao Li is scary, and a good person is better than a smart person The ghost is scary—”

"I didn't say that Lao Li is a bad person!" "—Let me tell you, Lao Zhao, among our group of people, Lao Li is the number one! Knowledge, conduct, opinion, everything is number one! If he hadn't advised me, I wouldn't have thought of going to the bank to learn a real skill." I admire him! He told me so much, I can’t remember, I only remember a few sentences, I will never forget these few sentences for the rest of my life! He said: To start a revolutionary cause starts from all aspects. After learning the bank , can improve society from the economic side. Those who study business can apply revolutionary ideals in the business world with specialized knowledge. Similarly, everyone who teaches, runs a factory, and works in all other professions has sufficient knowledge to break the law. Only then will there be a real revolution. Everyone takes a different path, but the purpose is the same. It is to improve society and educate the people. When the people are awakened, the revolution will succeed. Yan, his mind is empty, and he keeps talking about revolution, which is the same as a little-footed girl thinking about running in a sports meeting, hopeless, dreaming! This is what he said, and I can’t explain it clearly. This is probably what it means. The more I think about it, the more correct it is, So I put aside all unreasonable troublesome things, such as prying into secrets, talking about this doctrine and other issues, they are all nonsense! Lao Li is a good man, he is a sensible person! Lao Zhao! Or the same sentence, you don’t invite Lao Li I'm not going either! Lao Zhao, I'm sorry! I have to go to work," Mo Danian stood up: "tell us how to tell us and let me listen to you, but Lao Li is required!" "So, can you go out with me today? Eat?" Zhao Ziyue also stood up.

"I'm sorry! The bank's rules are very strict. Because the manager is a foreigner, he can't accommodate you. It's not allowed to go out casually! Wait for my holiday, let's go play together. Goodbye, Lao Zhao!" After Mo Danian finished speaking, he shook hands with Zhao Ziyue and walked in, but did not send Zhao Ziyue out. Zhao Ziyue felt a little unhappy, and walked out in a restful manner, sighing as he walked: "Little fat man is crazy! Tell foreigners to keep his pen straight! Hmph!" Zhao Ziyue softly touched Mo Danian's small nail, and he had a tendency to annoy him; then he thought, Fatty Mo has a lot of strength, otherwise, how could he get into a bank opened by a foreigner; , wanting to annoy Mo Danian and admiring him balanced; so he muttered to himself: "Why don't you be magnanimous and not annoy him!"

As for the mediation process for them, he felt that Ouyang Tianfeng and Li Jingchun were going to extremes, and there was no possibility of "reconciliation".If you invite them to eat and drink together, Li Jingchun, if he really comes and speaks sarcastically, then there may be another fight on the spot.This will take a lot of research and study, who calls enthusiasm for a friend, you have to sacrifice! He went back to the apartment and secretly called Wu Duan out: "Old Wu, come! Go to the restaurant for dinner, I will discuss something with you!" "What's the matter?" Wu Duan asked.

"secret!" Hearing the word "secret", Wu Duan grabbed his hat and followed Zhao Ziyue as if he had received a morphine injection, without even bothering to change his clothes.When they arrived at the restaurant, Zhao Ziyue ordered some food and wine casually, but Wu Duan was eager to hear the secret, so he kept urging Zhao Ziyue to speak quickly. "Don't be busy! Actually, it's not a secret, but I have something to discuss with you." "So, you wronged me?" Wu Duan asked very unhappy. "Why don't I tell you that there is a secret? You can't come here so fast!" Zhao Ziyue smiled: "It's like this: I just went to find Lao Mo, and I want to make peace with you. Drink! Old Mo is no longer as foolish as he was before, after a few days after joining the bank, he has acquired a foreign style—” "Wearing western clothes?" Butuan interjected. "—I'm not wearing a foreign suit, and I'm full of enthusiasm! You see, before the guest left, he stood up and said proudly: 'I'm sorry! I have something to do, see you another day!' Fortunately, I don't mind, I know that little fat man Some bull necks. As for making peace with you, the little fat man said that there must be Lao Li. Lao Wu, you know: Ouyang and Lao Li are not in the same oven. Isn’t that embarrassing me! I don’t want three peaches Er, two Douer, just because you guys are together in a friendly way, isn’t it interesting to watch? I have to ask you, Lao Mo seems to hate Ouyang very much, I can’t figure out the secret, Maybe you know it well?" "After arguing for a long time, are you asking me? Okay! Listen to me!" Wu Duan gave his yellow face a hard look.The more secrets you have in your heart, the more calm you will look on your face.It’s like Zhuge Liang on the stage, the calmer his face, the more people can see that he has a bad stomach: “Let’s talk about myself first: I’m friends with everyone, guess what? Lao Mo’s fight with Ouyang was not with me. , and I also persuaded them. As for Ouyang, I accompany him to the hospital every day; as for Lao Mo, we often meet each other; That’s right. It’s my job to inquire about secrets. Naturally, if you have more friends, you can get more news! So, if you want to mediate with them, I will go. I didn’t break up with them in the first place. As for the relationship between Ouyang and Lao Mo, I think: Ouyang hated the relationship between Lao Li and Ms. Wang, while Lao Mo was angry for a while, and it was definitely not Lao Mo who deliberately made trouble with Ouyang. Whether this statement is true or not has yet to be proven. I have slowly investigated and found out the truth. Day. What about Lao Li, to tell the truth, he and Ms. Wang really had an affair; of course, this has nothing to do with me, but I fulfill my duty of reporting secrets! Guess—" "Then, besides telling the secret, is there anything you can do?" Zhao Ziyue asked with a smile. "If there is a way, I have already done it, and I am waiting for you?!" "I've already told Lao Mo a lot, why don't you put it on the back of your neck?" Zhao Ziyue asked. "If you can't do it, don't do it. Isn't that also a way?" Wu Duan said very happily: "When you see Lao Mo in the future, you can say: Lao Li is too busy to come out, and Ouyang's illness is still not cured. This is not the end? !" "Yes!" Zhao Ziyue woke up like a dream, and laughed haha: "Mind their business! Come, drink!" The happy result of the conversation arouses the joy of drinking and punching; the joy of drinking and punching arouses the enthusiasm of two people to love each other.So, drinking, rowing, talking, and laughing, put all the happiness in this world in their two hearts. "Old Zhao!" Wu Duan called affectionately: "Are you still in school, are you looking for a job?" "Stop studying!" Zhao Ziyue said affirmatively. "Guess what? I thought so too. Studying is useless!" "Comrade! Come, let's clink glasses!" The two clinked glasses after eating. "What are you looking for, Old Zhao?" "It doesn't matter, just do it!" "You have to be ostentatious, can't you just do something?" "Of course, what I'm talking about is official business! Being in business or being a teacher, of course, can't be counted as legitimate business!" "Guess what? I think so too, just to be an official! To be an official!" "Comrade! Do you want another half a catty for nothing?" "Accompany! Guess—" Wu Duan burst out laughing to himself: Since he said "Accompany", why do he still need to say "Guess what?"The two ordered another half catty of white dry wine. "Old Zhao! I remembered. There is one thing you can do. I wonder if you can do it?" Wu Duan asked. "Say it! I'll do it if I want to be decent!" Zhao Ziyue said very cautiously. "You are the only one who can do this!" Wu Duan said sincerely and shrewdly: "Now some people start a women's rights development meeting, and Ouyang is also one of the founders. They plan to sing an opera to raise funds. Man Hao, why don't you join Lulutoujiao! I'll do it for you, join the club first, then sing, and your business will be considered a success!" "Why?" Zhao Ziyue asked while holding a wine glass. "Look, great men, politicians, military officers, their wives, aunts, misses, they don't like to listen to operas." Butuan continued: "Once you are on stage and have established a reputation, they are rushing to curry favor with you. Of course you and It’s not easy for them to be an official! I don’t have the skills, I can only help you prepare everything. You see, if you sing on stage with a long beard, I will cheer in the audience in a foreign suit. If you can’t find anything for a while, isn’t it fun to play like this? Besides, once it becomes popular, it’s easy to become an official! You see, Yang Chunting didn’t get it because he sang "Zhanzi at the Yuanmen" at the home of the Chief of Internal Affairs The head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs! Guess—" Butuan always said "guess what" every time he was out of breath, always making people think that there was still a secret and dare not intervene. "But singing is not easy!" Zhao Ziyue interrupted whenever Wu Duan said "guess what", which was a bit unexpected for Wu Duan. "I can tell you," Wu Duan said sincerely, "your voice is much stronger than Yang Chunting's; if he can become famous, why can't you? Guess—" "Make a suit, buy a beard, They all need a lot of money!" "It's okay if you don't spend more money? But it's better to invest a little capital than to spend money on campaigns: because even if you fail, you'll still be like 'Master is happy'!" "Who introduced me to join the association?" Zhao Ziyue already agreed with Wu Duan's suggestion in his heart. "Of course Ouyang can do it for you!" "Okay! Eat quickly! Find him after dinner!"
