Chapter 4 Chapter Four

Hainan is full of green branches and green leaves, and it is completely two worlds from the cold inland. The passenger plane landed smoothly at Haikou Airport, Xia Yingjie and Song Yikun got off the plane one by one following the flow of passengers.Xia Yingjie was wearing a windbreaker that seemed simple in style but was actually well designed, with long flowing hair hanging behind him, and an exquisite women's leather bag on his right shoulder.Holding a small suitcase in his left hand, his posture is charming and eye-catching. Song Yikun followed Xia Yingjie carrying two large boxes, his face expressionless.

Entering the hall, Xia Yingjie stood in the crowd and looked around, looking for someone to pick her up.At this moment, a woman's voice called "Xia Yingjie", and a girl in police uniform walked over quickly.Xia Yingjie also called "Jiang Wei" happily, and stepped forward to shake hands with her. Song Yikun stood beside him without saying a word, looking stiff and awkward. His character was not suitable for this kind of occasion, let alone such an unclear role. After all, this environment is not at his disposal. Jiang Wei is twenty-four years old this year, and the well-fitting police uniform adds a bit of heroism to her delicate appearance.She is enthusiastic yet elegant, with shrewdness and confidence in her eyes.She has been working in Haikou for three years and is now a reporter for the "Police Weekly" newspaper.

Xia Yingjie introduced, "Yikun, she is Jiang Wei." Song Yikun nodded his head as an answer. After leaving the hall, Jiang Wei asked them to wait on the side of the parking lot, and walked to the depths of the parking lot by herself.After a while, she drove a Santana car and parked beside Xia Yingjie. After the luggage was loaded into the car, Jiang Wei said, "Let's look at the house first, and then I will take you to the second-hand market to buy some furniture, and you can live here. I will pick you up for dinner at night. Let’s talk about job hunting, I’ve already made an appointment with Manager Liu of Wanda Trading Company, she’s a woman in her forties, she’s in need of a secretary, she’s interested in your conditions, so it’s probably not a big problem.”

"Thank you very much then." Xia Yingjie said politely. The car drove out of the airport for more than half an hour, and stopped in front of a residential building in the urban area. Jiang Wei asked Song Yikun to stay in the car and look after the luggage, while she and Xia Yingjie went upstairs to look at the house. This is a two-bedroom house, one of which is already occupied, which means that the kitchen and bathroom will be shared by two families.The kitchen area is small, and there is neither a bidet nor a shower in the bathroom, which is very simple. Jiang Wei introduced: "This house is owned by a colleague and has been rented out all the time. It is only a few minutes' walk from Wanda Trading Company, and the rent is also low. It basically meets your requirements."

Xia Yingjie nodded and said, "Go down and see if Yikun has any comments." Jiang Wei locked the door and said as she went downstairs: "You are fine in Yunan, but I suddenly brought a man here. I don't know the situation, so I can't say more. The conditions here are really poor. If he can come out to work, then it's okay." It's the same." "I can support him." Xia Yingjie said casually. Jiang Wei was a little confused, but it was inconvenient to ask further questions. Song Yikun stood beside the car quietly, he couldn't explain why, he felt very uncomfortable, so he didn't speak after getting off the plane.At this moment he finally spoke, and said to Jiang Wei who came over:

"Can I go up and have a look?" "Of course." Jiang Wei handed him two keys, "No. 17 on the third floor of Unit 1, open the door on the left after entering the door, the right door has already been rented out." Song Yikun went to see the house, but came back soon, apparently without looking carefully. "Is it possible?" Xia Yingjie asked, but he had already seen the answer. Song Yikun returned the key to Jiang Wei, and then asked Xia Yingjie: "In Yunan, I actually obeyed you. Based on the principle of equality, should it be my turn this time?"

Xia Yingjie said gently: "Yunan is a special situation, and it won't happen again in the future." "That's good." Song Yikun made up his mind, took out a cigarette and lit it, took a puff calmly, and then said to Jiang Wei: "Miss Jiang, there is a reason for Ajie's idea, but it does not conform to the overall plan. Haikou cannot fight a protracted war as a transition to escape. Give her a year at most. Based on this consideration, let me talk about a few points. 1. We are in the middle of nowhere Come here, you should be a man with your tail between your legs. The occasion for dinner is not suitable for us, so we appreciate your kindness. Two. Ajie has an injury and needs to recuperate. He has to concentrate on writing a book in the future, so he can't go out to work, please Apologize to Manager Liu for us. 3. This house is near the road, noisy and dusty, with unsatisfactory space and facilities, and even basic communication conditions. This environment is neither suitable for Ajie’s writing nor used for Receiving guests, so it cannot be rented. Fourth, there are only three things in Haikou that are of practical significance to Ajie, household registration, time and writing environment. The problem now is how to use funds most effectively and reduce transition costs. I don’t know that Ajie is in I don’t know how much face you have here, and I don’t know your actual ability to bear it. We are grateful for your help, and please forgive me for being rude, but it is necessary to speak frankly to each other.”

Xia Yingjie was a little nervous, worried that the words would be too serious, and wanted to explain a few words tactfully, but because she knew nothing about Song Yikun's arrangement, she didn't dare to intervene rashly. Song Yikun has his own considerations: if Jiang Wei just provides this kind of help, then there is no essential meaning; if his request is beyond Jiang Wei's capacity, then there is no need to force others.He gave Xia Yingjie a chance to show off, and saw her spirit of daring to work hard, but he is a man, he has the responsibility to maintain her image and self-esteem, and he has to consider her future. He is confident that he still has the ability.

Jiang Wei was stunned. She didn't know that Xia Yingjie was injured, let alone that there was such a big difference in thinking between the two fellow travelers.At this moment, she couldn't care about anything else, and hurriedly asked: "Ajie was injured, why didn't you tell me earlier? What happened?" Xia Yingjie said calmly: "Elope, I have to coerce my father, it's okay." Jiang Wei couldn't argue, she just helped Xia Yingjie into the car and sat down.She regretted that she should not have acted rashly when the situation was unclear, and she also blamed Xia Yingjie in her heart.Originally, with Xia Yingjie's beauty, qualifications and talents, he suddenly brought a man to this point of desolation, which made her puzzled all the time. Only now did she seem to find a little answer. Although she still needs to know the inside story, there is one thing It is already certain: they are not breaking into Hainan in the ordinary sense at all, but a temporary transition.She learned from Song Yikun's silence and his words.There is a kind of strategizing confidence in the level and tone, which is used to the language of dominance and independence.

Standing beside Xia Yingjie, she held the open car door and said, "Mr. Song, I have been with Ajie for four years, and she came to Hainan because of me. Work and transportation, that's easy. Get in the car, please." After the car started, Xia Yingjie said apologetically to Jiang Wei, "I'm sorry for making you busy, I didn't mean to." "I don't care." Jiang Wei said with a smile, "I've opened my eyes today. It's rare for me to do something different when I'm about to elope. I guess Mr. Song was also coerced by you." Xia Yingjie smiled triumphantly.

The car left the urban area and drove along the Outer Ring Road. The scenery along the way was beautiful, and everywhere was filled with the unique charm of the southern country.Gradually, the car drove into a residential area, and the buildings were neatly arranged.Surrounded by farmland and a group of buildings under construction, not far from the sea, you can faintly hear the sound of waves beating against the rocks. Jiang Wei parked the car in front of a building and said: "Move your luggage, the fourth floor. I think you may be satisfied, but the traffic conditions are a bit poor. There is a bus stop sign only ten minutes' walk away, and you can take a bus to the city." More than half an hour, because the community is not fully completed. But life is no problem, there is a small vegetable market nearby." Jiang Wei was holding the clothes, and Song Yikun came upstairs together carrying two boxes. This is a house with two bedrooms and one living room, about 60 square meters, unfurnished but tidy.In the living room there is a 12-inch black and white TV set and a set of desks and chairs. In the bedroom there is a large bed and wardrobe. In the other room there are two simple bookcases full of books against the wall. There is a telephone on the desk. There is a small fridge in the kitchen.Perhaps because of the tropical climate, the only valuable thing here is a one-drag two-split air conditioner, which is installed in the living room and bedroom respectively.The whole house appears extraordinarily spacious due to the lack of furniture. Song Yikun put down the suitcase, looked around the room and said, "Yes. Is it your house?" "Of course such a good opportunity to make money cannot be left to others." Jiang Wei laughed.She let Xia Yingjie lie on the bed to rest first, then went to the kitchen to get a pot for Song Yikun, and said: "From now on, I'm a guest, so I have to take care of the meals. There is a small restaurant thirty meters away on the left downstairs. You go and buy three bowls of fried noodles, and I'll make tea." Song Yikun took the pot and went out. Jiang Wei boiled the water, and immediately went to the bedroom and said, "Where is the injury? Let me see if there is any problem?" Xia Yingjie had no choice but to unbutton his clothes and let her take a look. "Oh my god, you're really desperate." Jiang Wei took a breath, and asked in amazement, "What's going on?" "I'll tell you later." Xia Yingjie buttoned up his buttons and said with a smile, "I didn't expect to see you in three years, and you even bought a house. After all, you are a special economic zone." Jiang Wei said: "That's not the case. I'm taking advantage of my father's revolutionary roots. My father has worked as an anti-narcotics policeman for more than ten years. He has too many enemies. Considering his safety, he was transferred last year. I went to Beijing and moved my family to Beijing, so the old house was left to me. Because the old city needs to be demolished for renovation, I got a new house like this.” Xia Yingjie asked, "Why don't you go to Beijing together?" Jiang Wei said: "If you stay here, you will have a house. If you go to Beijing, in which year and month can you earn a house? My brother can bring his wife back to live with his parents. He is a son, and a daughter does not have this privilege." Xia Yingjie smiled and asked, "To be honest, do you have a boyfriend?" "I can't find a suitable one." Jiang Wei shook her head and said, "I'm not as lucky as you. If I find a man who takes a lot of effort at a glance, I'd rather be single." Xia Yingjie asked worriedly: "We have taken over the house, what should you do?" "I have a suite in my office." Jiang Wei said, "Actually, if you don't come to this house, you will be idle. I am too busy with work, so it is not convenient to come here. You can save buying furniture by living here. The things are simple, but It's quiet and the environment is nice.” Xia Yingjie said: "As long as he is satisfied, that's fine. I just touched his tiger's butt, so I have to coax him." Jiang Wei said seriously: "This person is not simple, I advise you to get married early and take the insurance policy." "I don't want to wrong him." Xia Yingjie said tenderly, "He has fought against the Japanese for several years. He just received his liberation certificate this week, and all his cars and funds have left. This time, I coerced him to come here again. At this time He must be scared if he is tricked. I don’t care about form and status now, as long as I can depend on each other.” Jiang Wei just talked, and didn't rush into the kitchen to make tea until the boiling water screamed.Xia Yingjie got up and washed his face, then wiped the table, cleaned up the dishes and teacups that had been left unused for a long time, and after a while, the room was visibly alive. Half an hour later, Song Yikun came back with a pot of fried noodles, and Jiang Wei divided the fried noodles into three plates and placed them on the round table in the living room. After dinner, the three drank tea in the living room. Jiang Wei said: "I've already asked for leave, so you don't have to worry about the time. I still need to buy a batch of food. If Ajie is able to do it, we will go to the city to do these things in the afternoon. If Mr. Song wants me to do something, just let me know." Say, maybe I can help." "Our brothers will settle the accounts clearly, let's talk about the rent first." Song Yikun said, "According to my estimate, the annual rent for this house is 7,000 yuan, including furniture depreciation. Water, electricity and telephone bills are not included." "If I were to rent a house, I would not pay such a high price." Jiang Wei said with a smile. "Then it's settled like this." Song Yikun said, "This is the most economical choice for us. If we rent out the house, we will have to buy furniture, which will cost at least 10,000 yuan more. Then we will talk about Ajie's household registration. Ms. Jiang can Entrust someone to do it, and the cost will be reimbursed, including the hard work of the handler." Jiang Wei asked: "Since Ajie will not stay in Haikou for a long time, is it necessary to register?" Song Yikun explained: "She must have an identity, at least when applying for a passport. Writing is her strong point, and I should support her in this area. Once the situation improves, I want her to go out for a walk and get in touch with Western culture. It's good for her to develop." "I understand." Jiang Wei nodded, thought for a while and said, "My father has an old friend who is the general manager of Nandu Hotel, and the relationship is very good. I don't think it's a big problem to hang Ajie's work relationship with Nandu Hotel. According to normal channels, you don’t need to spend money to settle down, and I will handle it.” "Then, pay the rent now, otherwise I won't know which leg to walk on." Song Yikun said and went to open the box. "Is it that serious?" Jiang Wei asked. "Yes." Xia Yingjie rushed to answer. After all, she knew Song Yikun better. Night fell quietly. After a day of travel and fatigue, Song Yikun finally settled down in Haikou.After dinner, he has been writing letters in his study, deciding the different contents of the letters according to different people and different purposes.He had to write six letters in all: Italy——Ye Hongjun Austria——Wang Hai, Sun Gang Yunan - Fang Ziyun Shenzhen——Zhou Liguang Beijing——Deng Wenying conveyed Ma Zhiguo Shanghai - Zhao Hong There is one thing in common among the six letters, which is to tell them their mailing address and phone number, and to keep in touch, so as to understand the development of all aspects. Xia Yingjie came out of the bathroom in a loose bathrobe, his long black and damp hair naturally draped over his shoulders.Seeing that the water in the teacup was low, she picked up the cup and went to the kitchen to refill the hot water.In essence, she felt that she was already his wife. Song Yikun put down his pen, moved his stiff fingers, took a sip of tea from his cup, and asked, "Why do you want to write a letter?" "It looks solemn, but you are actually trying to save money on the phone bill." Xia Yingjie stood beside him and said. "Then start from here." Song Yikun said, "Go to the living room and get a chair, I'm not used to talking with others with my face up." Xia Yingjie knew that this conversation would happen sooner or later. Song Yikun waited for her to sit down opposite, and then said: "The situation in Haikou is better than I expected. Jiang Wei helped a lot, saving the two expenses of buying furniture and registering a registered permanent residence. This makes it possible for us to independently insist on a years without having to reach out and borrow money.” Holding a teacup, he went on to say: "Interpersonal relationships are an important asset that cannot be mined destructively. They are materials for building buildings and cannot be used to build chicken coops. At the same time, we must not expose our plight unless it is absolutely necessary, otherwise it will shake us." Their confidence in us is a great loss. Therefore, no matter how difficult it is now, we have to grit our teeth and hold on." Xia Yingjie said, "I'm not that delicate." "At least we must emphasize discipline." Song Yikun said, "Now we are a whole, and we cannot fight on our own as before. I will say two things. One is unity, and everything is prosperous in harmony. The second is to unify our thinking and move in step." "Do you still hold grudges?" Xia Yingjie smiled softly and said, "I may not be the accomplished woman you expected, but I am definitely a good wife." "With the two magic weapons of unity and hardship, I have confidence." Song Yikun said solemnly, "We must take all kinds of situations into consideration, for example, Deng Wenying may go bankrupt, and I will not get a penny back at that time; for example, Fang Ziyun's project Failed, and the funds are exhausted; for example, the relationship in various aspects has changed, and there is no human and financial resources to mobilize. We must assume the worst possibility, so in this case, the only thing we can hold in our hands is One thing, that's a book." "Rely on a book?" Xia Yingjie was dubious.Believe in Song Yikun's mind and eyesight, but suspect that the cultural market is sluggish, and even famous masterpieces are facing crisis. Song Yikun didn't explain, and couldn't explain, but continued to say: "Since the only book that can be grasped is this book, then writing a book will be the overwhelming work in the future. After the computer and disk arrive, you immediately start writing, I will Here to help you as a consultant. This is the third time Song Yikun mentioned that book, and Xia Yingjie couldn't help but feel that there was something mysterious about that disk. Song Yikun opened the drawer and took out all their property——17,000 yuan Cash. He separated ten thousand yuan from seven thousand yuan and said, "We have to fight the world on this basis.The 10,000 yuan will be deposited in the bank tomorrow. After the book is completed, there must be a basic start-up fund, and this money will never be shaken.The remaining 7,000 yuan is our survival money, which is less than 600 yuan per month on average, including utilities, telephone bills, food and clothing, and miscellaneous entertainment. " Xia Yingjie tentatively said, "I can work during the day and write at night. I'm young, so it doesn't matter if I work a little harder. You can also help me at home." Song Yikun shook his head and denied: "You can't impact the long-term interests because of the immediate difficulties. You must mobilize all forces to focus on one direction. You don't want to fully bloom, but only make a breakthrough. I judge that as long as we can persist for a year, the situation will be favorable. Change, and the time now is the greatest benefit, accumulating some strength early can avoid the gap between strength and opportunity." Xia Yingjie couldn't figure out this hide-and-seek theory, so he said frankly: "I don't understand your reasoning. I only know that you have been smoking 'Marlboro'. I don't want to wrong you." "I just climbed out of the poor mountains, so I can't say I was wronged." Song Yikun said seriously, "I officially announce that the monthly cigarette fee will be 60 yuan, and I will save every copper coin for the needs of the war." Xia Yingjie felt very uncomfortable. She stood up, walked over silently, held his head in her arms, and asked softly, "You really don't blame me?" "When are you still asking this?" Song Yikun patted her hand and said, "The task is clear, you have been tired all day, go to rest early, I will go in after I finish writing this point." Listening to Song Yikun's tone, it seems that they have been married for many years, but for Xia Yingjie, this moment is undoubtedly her wedding night, she has not seen the scene that must appear in the movie, she is a little sad, so she has to go first The bedroom is rested. Song Yikun deliberately used the word "war" just now, but Xia Yingjie obviously didn't care, thinking he was just quoting Mao Zedong's original words.This was exactly the effect he expected, and he couldn't rule out the day when the truth would be revealed, so he used ambiguous language to lay the groundwork for himself to balance his honesty.In fact, only he himself knows whether a book can be understood by mentioning the height of "war". "War". When the six letters were written, he checked the envelopes one by one to make sure there were no mistakes, and then he turned off the light and went to the bedroom. Xia Yingjie was still awake, she was lost in thought looking at the roof in the dim light.From today onwards, she will live with this man, which she has been looking forward to for a long time, and once it is specific to sleep in the same bed, her boldness, shrewdness and decisiveness will disappear without a trace, leaving only The next nervous beating heart. Song Yikun took off his coat and went to bed. He lifted the quilt, gently untied Xia Yingjie's pajamas, and admired her quietly under the dim light: a beautiful face like jade, gentle and charming eyes, long black and thick hair, plump and white Beautiful breasts, slender and toned legs, white and delicate skin. Xia Yingjie's heart was beating "poundingly", feeling thirsty and having difficulty breathing.Her eyes were like a pair of pearls under the dim light, full of tenderness and temptation. Song Yikun had been holding his breath for a long time, and he took a trembling deep breath only at the limit, and said restrainedly, "You... your injury is still not healed." Xia Yingjie hesitated for a moment, then suddenly stood up from the bed, jumped on Song Yikun's body with forgetfulness, wrapped his legs around his waist, held his head tightly in his arms with both hands, gasped and whispered: "...I I love you, I want you..." Song Yikun hugged her tightly with one hand, took off her pajamas with the other hand and threw them on the ground, held her breasts, put her face on them, kissed her, suddenly put her down on the bed, and lifted her up with both hands kissed her warm and moist lips, and said softly: "Miss, you bumped into the wolf's mouth yourself." Xia Yingjie smiled slightly and said, "Fool, I don't know who the wolf is. I am a very greedy woman." Song Yikun said: "I saw you for the first time, do you know what I think?" Xia Yingjie shook his head. Song Yikun said two words: "Go to bed." Xia Yingjie put his arms around his waist and said, "You hypocrite!" So, Song Yikun swept towards her like a storm. After the storm subsided, Xia Yingjie leaned on Song Yikun and fed happily: "It's great to be a woman. I like your crazy look, that's the you that belongs to me." Song Yikun was still panting slightly, moved his body and said, "I'm going to light a cigarette." "Don't move," Xia Yingjie caught him and said, "I'll get you some." She got out of bed and lit a cigarette and put it in his mouth, put the ashtray on the bedside table, then leaned against him and looked at him quietly. Song Yikun was embarrassed by the look, and reached for his underwear.Xia Yingjie said softly: "Don't wear it, I want to look at you like this, you are mine." Song Yikun was naked and insisted Xia Yingjie look at it for a while, then he hugged her and pulled the quilt over, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, he asked thoughtfully: "Miss, what is the knife you stabbed in your body?" Sudden or premeditated?" "What do you think?" Xia Yingjie asked back. Song Yikun said: "The intention is to create an inevitable situation." Xia Yingjie said proudly: "Actually, you knew it from the beginning, but so what if you figure it out? You still have to obey obediently. I call it prescribing the right medicine. You have no choice." "But it's too risky." Song Yikun said with a puff of smoke, "If the knife is not stabbed in the right place, can we still be together now?" "That's wrong." Xia Yingjie said confidently, "I'm the daughter of a surgeon. Idiot." "Stinky girl." Song Yikun also laughed. Xia Yingjie raised his face and smiled mischievously at him, then leaned against his chest and said: "As long as I can be with you, nothing matters." "Life is always the first need." Song Yikun flicked the ash into the ashtray, and after a while he said with emotion: "Don't talk about surviving in this world, even pulling grass from the ground requires some strength." After several days of anxious waiting, the computer and books finally arrived in Haikou. Xia Yingjie printed out the outline and read it over and over again to study it.The 40,000-word outline has been repeatedly emphasized by Song Yikun, and its importance and mystery have taken root in her brain. After reading it, she has to admit that it is a very novel and well-conceived subject, with great creative value. In four respects— theme: Describe the cruelty of the struggle for survival, and describe the conflict between human conscience instinct and survival instinct.Through the high IQ, generous thinking and speculative and adventurous decision-making of Iron Curtain characters, it reveals the problems existing between the central and local governments, policies and regulations during the transition period between the old and new systems in my country, and illustrates the inevitability of reform. theme: High-level foreign-related shady transactions, transnational scams, and the bloody and tearful career of individual Chinese in Europe. Using well-known influential domestic enterprises to set up fake joint venture group enterprises, embezzling state-owned assets in a policy-based manner, sending huge amounts of illegal funds abroad to cleanse and return them to make them legal.Originally guilty of beheading, he became the pride of the times and a patriot. Features: Big background, high IQ, strong confrontation, fast pace. Suspense after another, intense tension. The world of mortals seizes the road, and life is made of iron and blood. Summary: A young man committed suicide by jumping off a building in Italy, leaving a large debt to his sister who was studying in Austria.His sister was in a desperate situation, and in grief, according to the suicide note, she went from Rome to China to ask the protagonist to come out of the mountain to clean up the mess. The protagonist and the deceased had an original relationship, and the situation was extremely dangerous. Once he accepted the entrustment, he might be implicated and fell into a desperate situation.The protagonist thinks that if he wants to get a large sum of money to repay the debts on time in such a short period of time, even if he organizes a bank robbery, it will be too late.However, it is impossible to ignore death.After several considerations, the protagonist decides to go to Rome and bet his life. The well-planned labor export scam immigrated 60 family members of overseas Chinese to Western Europe, and ten real laborers were in a miserable situation due to being stranded in Eastern Europe.In the scam, there is a real company in Rome, a fake contract in Budapest, a real approval document from Beijing, and a fake account from a local government. The assets of the fake joint venture "Bellinger Huaye Corporation" exceeded 100 million yuan.Millions of dollars have flowed out of the country, and tens of millions of dollars have foreign controlling stakes. "Mercedes-Benz 600" swaggered through the market, and adventurers stole the limelight in the upper class. At the end of the novel, justice naturally triumphs over evil. In the early morning of this day, Song Yikun woke up and found that Geng Yingjie was not by his side.He put on some clothes and pushed open the door of the study room. The light was still on, and Xia Yingjie was still studying the outline. "You didn't sleep all night?" He was a little annoyed. "I used to rush through drafts like this before, and I'm used to it." Xia Yingjie put down his pen and said, "This story is very innovative, and I want to find the feeling as soon as possible and get into the mood. I have drawn up a conversation summary, and I have some ideas that I need to talk to you about." "now?" "If you don't want to sleep, of course it's better to talk about it earlier." Xia Yingjie stood up and took his arm and said, "Go to bed quickly, don't catch a cold." As she spoke, she picked up the talking summary and turned off the light . She pushed Song Yikun into the bed, sat down on the edge of the bed, and said with a smile, "Clear your mind and answer a few questions for me seriously, and I'll spread pancakes for you later." Song Yikun loves to eat pancakes the most, and said happily: "Then ask quickly." Xia Yingjie glanced at the summary and said, "I want to know how you came up with those stories. It's very important, otherwise I don't know what to do." Song Yikun hesitated for a moment, then sat up and put on his clothes and explained: "I will answer from the main aspects first. After Ye Hongjun went to Austria, he has been relying on part-time jobs to make ends meet, and he has also done several short-buying and short-selling businesses, but failed, so he came to find Me, I tried to give him a few bad ideas." "He used both organized immigration and fake joint ventures?" Xia Yingjie asked with concern. "If it is adopted, it will not be included in the outline." Song Yikun said, "Besides, the outline also absorbed some hearsay and some cases from newspapers and periodicals, coupled with my reasoning and imagination, in my mind Stir-fry it and it will be half-cooked." "It's a good thing you didn't go abroad." Xia Yingjie shook his head, and asked again, "You have prepared 10,000 yuan for this book as a start-up fee. I want to know, can this book earn 10,000 yuan? You and I both know it. Most of the books are at their own expense and lose money, so literati have changed their careers, Fang Ziyun is an example." "How to explain this question?" Song Yikun thought for a while and said, "It seems that there is a movie. The student pointed to the overwhelming waterfowl by the river and asked the teacher, what do they eat when so many waterfowl gather together? The teacher replied that since they gather There must be food here, which is called the law of ecology. Just like the current recession in the literary world, but more and more books are still produced, there is also a problem of survival of the fittest.” "You still haven't answered me directly." Xia Yingjie continued to ask, "You said that this book is meaningless if it doesn't cause a little controversy across the country. However, now is the era of commercialization of literature. The cost of publishing, distribution, and the cost of starting the propaganda machine are not covered by your 10,000 yuan, so what can your 10,000 yuan start?" "I think, since there are activities such as manuscript bidding and auction, you might as well take your work for a try." Song Yikun said unhurriedly, "Among them, copying fee, manuscript reading fee, registration fee, travel expenses, board and lodging Expenses, communication expenses, communication expenses, all of which require money, and these are collectively referred to as the start-up fee.” "If you don't auction it off, what if you lose it?" "I can't rule out this possibility, but it doesn't shake your determination, otherwise people in the world won't do things." Song Yikun came to a conclusion on this matter. "That's the reason." Xia Yingjie nodded, glanced at the summary in his hand, and asked again, "Since I wrote this work, I want to know how much room I have for development?" "There is no leeway, you have full sovereignty. If you need it, I can give you some references." Song Yikun especially emphasized. Xia Yingjie had a bottom line in his mind, so he said: "Then I'm not going to be polite. I want to use this outline as part of the material. While retaining important events and the original style, according to my writing habits, I want to recreate it from a female perspective. Conceive part of the plot. I think the original outline is strong enough, but not emotional. If some femininity is added, the combination of hardness and softness will be easier to impress people and be accepted by more people." "I agree." Song Yikun said. "The character direction of the original character also needs to be adjusted." Xia Yingjie said, "For example, a manager embezzled a million yuan to raise a beautiful mistress abroad. There is no emotional basis between them. If you consider the mistress as a woman needs, her loneliness, loneliness and pain, then she will not be able to live and work in peace and contentment, but will have a rebellious psychology, which will guide her behavior. When we write about her, we must first consider: she is a person.” "I agree." Song Yikun said again. "The most important thing is the protagonist's ending." Xia Yingjie said a little excitedly, "The law will not go abroad to rescue an orphan girl, but the protagonist can do it and commit a crime because of it, but it is unknown. I I think that he should not have sentenced himself to death, but exposed himself in the process of intending to atone for his sins, and the law sentenced him to death, which is more contagious and can arouse readers’ deep reflection on life and society.” "Agreed." Song Yikun only said two words this time. Xia Yingjie asked, "What do you mean?" Song Yikun smiled: "I mean, you are completely competent." "Don't put on a high hat first." Xia Yingjie said, "I have the best understanding of the superiority of the eyes and the inferiority of the hands. The actual writing may not meet the conception requirements, so you must help me. Behind a successful woman must be a strong man." "Then I'll just stand." Song Yikun wanted to get up while talking. "But now I need you to lie down." Xia Yingjie hugged him, tucked him back into the bed, kissed him and said, "You watched TV for too long last night, sleep a little longer, I'll cook something for you wear clothes." "What's for breakfast?" he asked. "Steamed buns, porridge." Song Yikun said: "You spoil me so much, you will suffer in the future." Xia Yingjie smiled and said, "I'm spoiling you just to create obstacles for other women. They have pretty faces and arrogant manners, but they can't adjust your appetite, let alone take care of you as a baby. So you have to come back. Man, you are a dragon when you go out, and you have to be a good boy when you go home. From today on, you will officially have a pet name, Baby." After speaking, he kissed him heavily on the face, and then went to the kitchen to cook. The ordinary and concrete life enables Xia Yingjie to show his gentle, hard-working and understanding side.She has a keen interest in laundry, cooking and every little housework, as if there is an inexhaustible energy and enthusiasm in her body.She knew that all this stemmed from her love for Song Yikun, as long as she could look at him, especially seeing his eating with relish and sleeping like a child, she would feel a sense of satisfaction.She poured all the innate maternal love of a woman into him, so that every gesture of his could touch her heart. However, sometimes she is also inexplicably sad, happiness that is too specific often seems a little unreal, and she is worried that one day she will suddenly lose all of this, because Song Yikun is not a person who is content with ordinary life at all, temporary peace can't explain anything, he will eventually To get back on track that belongs to him. At this moment, she rolled up her sleeves, put on her apron and started cooking. While boiling water and hot porridge, the egg batter used to spread pancakes has already been prepared. She can always do the most work in the shortest time. While spreading pancakes, she suddenly heard the phone ringing in the study, she thought: so early, who could it be calling? It was Jiang Wei who called and reported good news to her.She put down the phone and continued to cook, then carried it to the living room and set it up before going to the bedroom. "Baby, it's time to get up and eat." Xia Yingjie carried the clothes to the bed and dismissed him like a child. Song Yikun said while buttoning the button: "It's too sour, my teeth can't bear it. It would be embarrassing if people heard it." "No one heard." She smiled, and continued, "The toothpaste has been squeezed for you, you have to hurry up, or the pancakes will be cold. Just now Jiang Wei called and said that there is a clue about the settlement. The manager asked to see me in person and she will pick me up later." Song Yikun didn't say anything, just brushed his teeth and went to eat. Xia Yingjie ate a few bites of food in a hurry, and then went to make up.At this moment, two long honking car horns rang downstairs. She knew that Jiang Wei had come, so she put the cosmetics in her bag, went to the living room and said to Song Yikun, "Eat slowly, put the bowl in the kitchen and I will回来在再洗。现在快点吻别一下，这是规矩。” 宋一坤手上、嘴上全是油，正吃得津津有味，根本无暇顾及其它，草草地把脸凑过去被亲一下，又投身于煎饼里。 “小伙子，慢慢适应吧。”夏英杰戏言一句，下楼了。 江薇开着一辆微型采访车，见了夏英杰就问道：“你眼圈都快熬成熊猫了，是不是又熬夜了？得注意身体。” 夏英杰坐在副驾驶的位置上，一边继续化妆一边说：“我打算半个月把大纲整理出来。以前写新闻稿习惯了，猛一转弯有些不适应，所以总少不了吃苦头。这件事我得往前赶，不然时间不够用。” “你觉得写书有出路吗？”江薇关心地问。 “我也是这么问的。”夏英杰收起那截很短的眉笔，又从包里取出口红，边涂边说，“一坤属狗，我自然得嫁狗随狗了。他要说行，不行也行。这事我眼下还看不透。” 江薇点点头，说：“一个连女人都能一眼看透的男人，也不值得你夏小姐去监狱里挖掘了。我可把话说在前头，将来你成大气候了，别忘了拉姐妹一把。” “我都讨饭到你门上了，你居然还挖苦我，居心何在？” “我可是当真的。”江薇说。 “得了，说正经的吧。”夏英杰收起口红，坐正身子，把包放在双腿上，认真地说： “江薇，再帮我个忙行吗？” “有什么话直说嘛。”江薇嗔怪道。 夏英杰说：“情况你都知道了，我也没什么难为情的，还是想出来工作。一坤给自己规定每个月六十元的烟钱，可他在监狱时都没断过'万宝路'。他不讲究吃穿，不爱喝酒，没事从不下馆子进歌厅，就这么点抽烟的嗜好，我一看见他抽那种廉价烟心里就难过。如果我能出去工作，除去买烟还能给他改善一下伙食。” 车遇到红灯停住了。江薇抚摸着方向盘说：“交通太不方便了，来回一趟将近两个小时。你要写作，要干家务，还要照顾他，如果再去工作，你身体怎么吃得消呢？人又不是机器，两个人过日子得互相体谅。以你们目前的情况，我看他出去工作更合理一些。” “不行，我不能再给自己增加心理负担。”夏英杰一口否定了江薇的建议，说：“在别人手下做事，少不了被支来唤去地看脸色，一坤是什么人我清楚，我宁可养虎冬眠，也不能损伤虎威。”绿灯亮了，江薇启动车子，说：“你太痴心了，可他明确表示过反对你工作，你的好心未必就有好结果。” “所以才要你帮忙。”夏英杰说，“如果落户必须以工作为前提，他也只能认可。瞒着一坤并不难，问题是南都饭店给不给我机会，我条件不高，端盘子洗碗清理垃圾什么都能干。” 这时，江薇一手扶着方向盘，一手从自己的包里摸出一张活期定额存款单递给夏英杰，说：“这钱我原打算以后还你，怕你们现在住着不踏实。既然你缺钱用，我就不必替你保管了。” 夏英杰接过一看，存款是七千元，存款单上是自己的名字。 她把存款单放回江薇的包里，说： “江薇，你这样做与赶我们走没有区别。” “你就不怕我心里不安？”江薇说，“人这辈子谁没有几个朋友？如果这种钱我也挣，我成什么人了？时间长了不敢说，住个一年半载的我还管得起。我要出租房子不会等到现在。” 夏英杰说：“你还不了解一坤，他最怕欠人情。如果工作的事为难就不谈了，钱你还收着。” 江薇见夏英杰态度这么坚决，想了想说：“这钱你先用着，算我借给你的，总可以吧。” “如果一坤需要借钱，恐怕轮不到我去借，而且也不会是小数目。我现在借钱他会怎么看我？我浑身是嘴也说不清。”夏英杰微微有些急躁，接着说： “你怎么不明白呢？对一坤来说，我不是因为缺钱而去工作，而是落户必须以工作为先决条件，我是不得已而为之。让你帮忙，就是这边找工作，那边帮我撒谎。” “这故事真让人感动。”江薇无可奈何地摇摇头。她思考了片刻，说：“看来只能由着你了。我舍出面子，尽量给你争取一份好差事，万一不理想你也别记恨我。因为本来没有说要工作的。” 南都饭店位于海口市黄金地段，是北京一家公司投资的国营三星级酒店，楼高二十六层，外形壮观而具有欧洲现代风格，门前是一片铁栏封闭的停车场，停放着几十辆各型轿车。 江薇把车停好，带着夏英杰进了南都饭店的豪华大厅，她让夏英杰在大厅一角的小酒吧里等着，自己乘电梯上了九楼。 夏英杰心里有数，没有可能的事情她是不会张口的。同时她也清楚，江薇不是不能帮忙，而完全是关心她的身体。果然，半小时后江薇打来电话，让她马上去九楼总经理办公室。 这里是整个饭店的权力中心，房间宽敞豪华。总经理坐在高级办公桌后面，他年近六十，有些秃顶，头发整理得一丝不乱，穿一身银灰色西装，戴着眼镜，目光谦和而稳重。他让夏英杰坐下，仔细打量了一番，说： “夏小姐，你的档案我看过了，小江也介绍了一些你的情况，今天找你来没别的意思，主要是为了核实一下。我和小江的父亲是老朋友，如果你只是惜条道、歇歇脚，那倒没什么。刚才小江又提出你要工作，我想，有些话应该当面讲清楚，凡事都得有个交代嘛。我不久就该离休了，国营企业人事关系复杂，以后的事情谁也说不准。你条件不错，按理说应该有发展，我担心你会因为领导层的人事关系而影响了个人前途。” “我明白您的意思。”夏英杰诚恳地说，“但我确实是临时性的，不会在这里待太久，您也不必有顾虑。” “当面讲清就好。”总经理点点头，然后说，“现在商务中心人手不够，既然你中英文打字都可以，正好补充进去。如果没有其它要求，现在你就可以去商务中心报到了，由经理具体安排。我刚才已经在电话里打过招呼了，让小江陪你过去。” 夏英杰道谢之后，随江薇一起离开办公室，乘电梯到一楼商务中心。经理也是一位女士，二十七八岁，与江薇非常熟悉。经理热情接待了她们，并简要地向夏英杰介绍了商务中心的状况。 商务中心由中、英文打字、复印、传真、信息咨询等项目组成，实行十二小时服务。早班从八点到十四点，晚班从十四点到二十点，每月倒班一次，没有固定休息日，实行轮休制度。 经理告诉夏英杰：明天正式上班。 离开商务中心，江薇又把夏英杰送回家，从包里掏出一把绑着块小铁牌的钥匙说： “存车棚里我有一辆自行车，这辆车我平时用得不多，现在你用正合适。从家里骑车到饭店需要四十分钟，虽然累一点但时间有保证。如果你乘汽车，不但得步行一段路，而且很可能因为塞车经常上班迟到。这块牌子上是车子的号码。” 更英杰接过自行车钥匙，感激地说：“你这么帮忙，我真是很过意不去。没想到今天这么顺利，全凭你的面子了。我们一穷二白，也没什么好感谢的，你就只当来了一个穷亲戚吧。” “别寒碜我了。”江薇笑着说，“能给你夏小姐效力我是求之不得呢，不趁现在套近乎，将来你还能认得我吗？” “可别开这种玩笑，我承受不起。”夏英杰忙说。 “你不是写作吗？上班时自己带一个磁盘，空闲时候干点自己的事情，只要不影响工作就行。你可以公私兼顾嘛。” 夏英杰没说话，只是会心一笑。 宋一坤深居简出，附近居民几乎没有人注意到他的存在，他像一团萤火，既不燃烧也不熄灭，游荡于日出与日落之间，游荡于这块六十平方米的空间里。每天除了看书、看电视新闻，他最关注的就是外界打来的电话。 这更像一匹狼潜伏在草丛里，耳朵贴着地面，眼睛盯着前方，不会闻风而动，也不会坐失战机，只等目标进人有效攻击范围之内，它才会腾空而起，闪电出击。 北京方面，方子云负责的专利产品研究其组织、筹备工作已经展开，有关专家已从理论上确认了新型材料产生的可能性。方子云从当地各科研院所的退休人员里精选了三位专家，将分别从冶金、化学和机械制造三个方面对专利项目进行综合研究。出于节省经费的考虑，他特意租用了农机修造厂的一间房子作为研究场所，以便利用该厂的小型炼钢炉。化验室的设备，部分是购买的，也有一部分是借来的。总之情况不错。 奥地利方面，王海和孙刚的两家餐馆受同行业竞争的冲击和国际气候的影响，生意日趋惨淡，于是联手回国，再度前往创业之地——江州，假借外商身份与江州皮革厂洽谈合资项目，实为空手道的把戏，目的在于项目成立之后，寻找奥国商人投资，从中谋取中介费。这种生财之道虽屡见不鲜，但以王海和孙刚的智能，很难让人做出较为乐观的估测。 其他方面，如叶红军、周立光、赵洪等人的情况，均无大的变化，相对平稳一些。 宋一坤相信：运动是一切事物的规律，任何机会都在运动之中产生。他的指导思想是，节约每一个铜板，为了战争的需要。 他所需要的是时间、时间。 而夏英杰却没有更深的考虑，她最深远的考虑就是得到这个男人，然后去爱他、关心他、守住他。她只想从自己身上节约铜板，并且力所能及地多挣些铜板，用来改善爱人的日常生活。养猫也罢，养虎也罢，对她来说已经没有区别了，她一旦选择了丈夫，就会全力去做一个好妻子。 工作的事，她如愿以偿，她似乎总能如愿以偿。宋一坤尽管心存疑虑，但是面对无可争议的理由他也不得不认可，而这种不得已的认可，对他来说也不止是惟一的一次。 夏英杰的生活非常规律，完全按照她自己制定的时间表进行：早晨五点半起床做饭、收拾房间，七点十分骑车上班，下午两点下班回家，写作三个小时，六点钟做饭、干家务，八点写作，晚上十一点休息。每天早上她都要把宋一坤的午饭准备好，每天她都要保持六小时的写作时间，她像一台机器一样按照固定的程序运转。 这天上午，夏英杰期待许久的那个时刻终于到来了——经理把一个写有她名字的工资袋交到她手里。她打开一数，工资、奖金和各种补贴加在一起，一共七百三十元。这笔钱着实令她激动了一阵子，随后她便在脑子里规划支出的款项。 不当家不知柴米贵，她是体会到了。 下班前，江薇来商务中心找她，把一封信和一张包裹单放在桌上，收信人一栏写着：江薇转夏英杰收。字体歪歪扭扭不太美观，一看便知是小马的水平。 夏英杰看了一下包裹单，说：“是小马，他把那盒录音带寄过来了。” “就是宋一坤在上海收留的那个孤儿？”江薇问。 夏英杰点点头，问：“取东西的邮电局离这儿远吗？” 江薇说：“上面写着我的名字，还是我去取吧，我下午要去办事，顺路就办了。另外通知一下，你今天发薪水了，晚上我得到你那儿混饭去，咱们好久没有聚一聚了。” 夏英杰笑着说：“那好，晚上我多准备几个菜，咱们好好聊聊，不然下个月我上晚班，时间就凑不到一起了。” 江薇拿起单子说：“七点，我准时赶到。” 说完她转身走了。 夏英杰向下一班小姐交班完毕，到车棚推上自行车离开饭店，直奔小商品批发市场。 这是一个非常热闹的市场，厅内厅外到处是摊位，摆满了五花八门的商品，从衣物到食品，从家电到针线，应有尽有。每一条狭长的小道都挤满了顾客，无论买与不买，观赏本身就是一种享受。 夏英杰并不急于购买，而是东转西看，反复询问，对自己要买的商品进行摸底、比较，从而以较低的价格买到称心如意的东西。她用三百二十元买了四条硬盒“万宝路”香烟，八十元买了一斤茶叶，又买了两个漂亮的烟灰缸和一瓶蜂蜜。 回家时，她特意舍近求远从市中心的海秀大道经过。早就听说海秀大道繁华、壮观，据说没有到此街一走的人，不算来过椰城。她是比较喜欢逛街的，来海口一个多月了却一直没有时间专门出来游玩。 海秀大道在历史上就是连接环绕海南东西两条公路的中心地段，八公里的柏油马路车流不断，道路两边花枝招展、椰树成行，高楼大厦比比皆是。最令人瞩目的就是海南国际商业大厦，它集商贸、购物、餐饮、住宿于一身，以优美的购物环境和完善的服务设施吸引着大批顾客。从这条街上不难看出，海口已跨越了几十年的落后，成为最有活力的省会城市之一。 夏英杰虽是骑车观景，倒也心满意足了。 回到家里，她把东西放在客厅的桌子上，然后去书房，见宋一坤像往常一样全神贯注地看书、做笔记，便从后面抱住他，脸颊蹭着他的头发问： “怎么不问我为什么回来晚了？” 宋一坤放下手中的笔，双臂展开伸了一个懒腰，低声嘟哝一句：“程序出毛病了。” 夏英杰拉他起来，笑着说：“快去看，我给你带什么来了？” 宋一坤放下书来到客厅，一眼便看见了桌上的四条“万宝路”香烟，真可谓见烟眼开，兴奋地拿起一条看着，连声说： “太奢侈了，太奢侈了。” 夏英杰的笑脸消失了，沉默了，鼻子一酸眼泪冲了出来。她抱住宋一坤把脸埋在他怀里，好一会儿才慢慢抬起头，伤心地说： “一坤，你这么说我心里真受不了，以前你抽这种烟怎么不说奢侈？以前你坐轿车住饭店怎么不说奢侈？都是因为我，你才落到这种地步，我这么自私，你不恨我吗？” “又离谱了。”宋一坤说，“人活一世，还有什么能比两个人相依为命更重要？” “那，我比邓文英怎么样？” “这么俗？”宋一坤笑着讥讽道。 “我就俗，你非得回答我。”夏英杰抹着眼泪撒娇地说。 “怎么说呢？”宋一坤想了想答道，“论心计，你们谁也不是善主儿，但是你比她朴实，更有女人味儿。” 夏英杰这才破涕为笑，说：“我发工资啦，一大笔钱呢。这两个烟缸客厅放一个，书房放一个，就不用茶杯弹烟灰了，这瓶蜂蜜专门给你冲水喝，一天两杯，润肺的。你再闻闻这茶叶，香不香？” 宋一坤赶紧做一副沉醉状，说：“好茶，真香。” “你还没闻怎么知道？”夏英杰嗔怪地瞪他一眼，接着说，“还有呢，你看这是什么？”说着，她把信拿出来递给他。 宋一坤接过一看，说：“总算来信了，我正担心呢。”然后把信封撕开，抽出信来看。 big brother.大姐： Hello.来信收到，因为一直不稳定，所以不能及时回信。 邓姐对我很好，她已经辞去副总经理的职务，通过关系贷款二十万元，与别人合伙搞了一个东方人时装公司，注册资金一百万元，邓姐占6O％的股份，由设计部。生产部、销售部和表演队组成，我已经不开车了，被分到表演队接受训练，邓姐说我条件好，适合当模特。我现在一切都很好，吃住条件都不错，请不要挂念。 分别时，大哥又忘了磁带，现在寄去。祝你们幸福！ 弟：马志国 一九九三年一月八日 “这就好。”宋一坤放心了，把信交给夏英杰。 夏英杰收拾起桌上的东西，说：“磁带江薇晚上送来，说好了她来这儿吃饭，我也准备好了。我现在得去菜市场，你看要不要买点啤酒？” “有客人，就买点吧。”宋一坤说。他平时是不喜欢喝酒的。 夏英杰从菜市场采购回来，已经将近下午六点了。她系上围裙洗菜、切肉、炸鱼、炖鸡，忙得团团转，倒也乐在其中。宋一坤则稳坐书房一门心思做他的学问，不是他不帮忙，而是夏英杰不让，也不是因为他越帮越忙，而是夏英杰最看不得男人做家务。 七点钟，楼下传来两声汽车喇叭响。夏英杰忙从厨房跑到阳台，对下面的江薇说： “上来呀，还等什么？” 江薇挥挥手说：“你们都下来，先帮我把东西抬上去。” 夏英杰连围裙也顾不上解，叫上宋一坤下楼搬东西去。原来是三件家电，彩电、录相机、音响。宋一坤首先把彩电搬上楼，又下来与夏英杰合抬音响，江薇则抱着录像机，三人一起上楼。 东西放到客厅，夏英杰关上门说：“你怎么了，一下子买这么多。” 江薇随口答道：“朋友帮忙，从黑市上买的走私货，都是日本原装的，价格又便宜。反正这些东西早晚都要买，往后越来越贵。” 夏英杰倒觉得，江薇是没办法处理那笔房租，索性买来东西让他们使用，以此平衡一下心理。她是这样猜测，却不便说穿。 在江薇的指挥下。黑白电视机立刻被彩电取代了，录像机摆在彩电旁边，音响被安装在客厅墙边靠近电源的地方，包装箱统统堆到阳台上。家里立刻增添了不少现代气息。 忙完之后，江薇从包里取出一只小木盒交给夏英杰，说： “磁带取回来了，现在物归原主。” 夏英杰说：“你打开吧，我还得炒菜呢。” 江薇说：“我怎么敢打开，也许是机密呢，不然谁会这么老远寄一盒磁带？” “真是一盒音乐带。”夏英杰笑笑说，“那是一坤喜欢听的曲子，现在市场上可能已买不到了。” 江蔽还是不放心，交给宋一坤打开，而且由他亲自装进磁带仓里。果然，屋里响起了的乐曲。 江薇把音量调到适中，然后到厨房去帮忙。夏英杰便让她把炒好的菜一盘一盘地往客厅里端。 末了，夏英杰对江薇说：“厨房没你的事了，你叫一坤洗手准备吃饭，我做好这个菜就过去，这道锅巴尤鱼得趁热上桌，一坤吃这个菜吃的就是那一声响。” 江薇刚要去，又转过身问夏英杰：“我现在该怎么称呼他呢？直呼名字不礼貌，称宋先生又太做作，也太见外了。” 夏英杰想都没想，
