Chapter 5 chapter Five

Day after day, half a year passed in the blink of an eye. Song Yikun spent some of the most leisurely days in Haikou, which gave him the opportunity to read some books calmly and think about some problems calmly.However, recent signs indicate that the days of this paradise will not be too long, and the situation requires him: prepare to go out. According to information provided by TV, newspapers, radio and other publicity media, on September 18, 1993, Xiamen City, Fujian Province will hold a nationwide bidding activity for manuscripts. After telephone consultation, it was confirmed that this news is reliable. of.Compared with other regional manuscript transactions, this event is more influential and authoritative.For Xia Yingjie, this is undoubtedly an opportunity, but the problem is: the current manuscript is only 260,000 words, and there are still more than 100,000 words to be completed, and the deadline for the bidding activity is August 15th. The actual writing time of more than 100,000 words was only two months.

Time is running out. Wang Hai called and said he would fly to Haikou from Jiangzhou on May 9th.According to Song Yikun's knowledge: the two restaurants of Wang Hai and Sun Gang are becoming more and more difficult to support, and the joint venture project in Jiangzhou is even hotter, but so far no real powerful investor has been found, and the Chinese company has been kept in the dark. In the drum, whether "karate" can succeed is hard to say. So, is Wang Hai coming to Yecheng at this time to visit friends as a courtesy or for another reason? In Yunan, Fang Ziyun’s new product research has made a breakthrough. At the same time, the mechanical manufacturing part has been completed, and the first sample of ordinary materials has been produced, while high-tech synthetic materials have entered the stage of mass production experiments. Success is only a matter of time.According to the agreement, in addition to the fixed salary of 1,500 yuan per month, the three researchers will also be paid 20,000 yuan each for scientific research results.The future workload is estimated on the basis of three months, and the cooperation will be terminated when all the technical materials are sorted out in August. Fang Ziyun predicts that there may be a funding gap of 40,000 yuan by then.Song Yikun's answer was: he would rather lose several thousand yuan per month than procrastinate, at least until the end of November.Because at that time, Deng Wenying's loan period had expired, and it should be no problem to get back 40,000 yuan.

The front was tight, but Song Yikun couldn't get a single copper coin out.Although he is confident in the bidding for the manuscript on September 18, he does not rule out the possibility of extra problems, worrying that the distant water cannot save the nearby fire.Therefore, we can only place our hopes on Deng Wenying's loan.Until the last moment, he would not lend his hand to borrow money. This morning, he stopped after eating half of his breakfast and had no appetite.A cigarette was burning silently between his fingers, his brain was constantly turning and thinking, and his two eyes seemed to be examining something, as if they wanted to see through and see through everything.Xia Yingjie made preparations before going to work, and the last procedure was her "patented" project: kiss goodbye.When I came to the living room, seeing Song Yikun's concentrated expression, I couldn't bear to disturb him, leaving only a lip mark on his face, and turned around contentedly to leave.

"Wait a minute." Song Yikun said suddenly, "Repeat today's task." Xia Yingjie said with a clear mind: "First, go to the unit to issue a certificate, and send the application form, registration fee, photo and certificate to the manuscript bidding committee. Second, take three hours off to write a brand, Pick up Wang Hai at the airport at noon, arrange for him to live in Guoshang Building, and then bring him to see you. Third, buy two thousand sheets of printing paper by the way." Song Yikun nodded, and said: "If Wang Hai asks me why I didn't come, you tell him that Yikun has been so used to it that he has to be pushed if he is too lazy to turn over."

Xia Yingjie said: "But I always feel that it's a bit unreasonable for you not to go." Song Yikun said: "In my judgment, Wang Hai came to Haikou with less emotional elements and more elements of asking for directions. I was too enthusiastic to pick him up at the airport in person, and I suspected that I was too eager to get close to him, which would give him illusions, encourage his mentality of cherishing money, and reverse the situation." Even if there is a chance to cooperate, he will open his mouth. It is good for him to be cold now, at least it can help him correct his attitude. We are doing well, and we don’t need money or a savior.”

"Okay, do as you say." Xia Yingjie said. Song Yikun could have let her go, but he stood up and put the cigarette butt in the ashtray, caressed her face unexpectedly, and said softly: "The past six months have made you suffer." Xia Yingjie has indeed lost weight obviously. She has to work, write, and do housework, so she can only rest for six hours a day. The double work of mental and physical work is intense and heavy, and only the days off in rotation seem to be a luxury. It is not an easy task for her to do it all by herself and improve the food.She has never imagined romantic love, unlike most girls who often have a sense of gender superiority, thinking that a pretty face can make pies fall from the sky.She only knows how to be a down-to-earth person and do things, and use her frail shoulders to bear the burden even beyond her age.

Song Yikun's rare intimacy moved her so much that she leaned against his chest and asked softly, "What's wrong with you today?" Song Yikun held her in his arms and said pitifully: "I know you have worked hard, but you have to cultivate your resilience and ability to resist blows. You can't do it without being ruthless. In the final analysis, the ability to survive is the ability to adapt to the environment. Do more at home. After some simulated training, you can be more relaxed when you go out." "You don't need to explain, and you don't need to feel guilty." Xia Yingjie said frankly, "I didn't think about it at all, as long as I keep you, I'm content."

"In short, we have to be patient," Song Yikun said. "This world depends on strength. There are as many guns as there are identities. It is no different from warlords. Especially women, relying on the polite respect of others, half-text It's not worth it, how much chic you put on is just a show." "I understand this." Xia Yingjie said with a smile, "My mother often said that it is not hard to suffer when you are young, but it is really hard when you are old and helpless, so now you have to work hard. But I should go, Otherwise, you'll be late. Come here, kiss me again."

After six months of training, Song Yikun has gotten used to many new aspects of life, but he has always been afraid of being marked on his face, and always feels that he is not dignified and majestic.And the more he was afraid, the more Xia Yingjie liked to do it. It seemed that this would satisfy his desire for possessiveness.At this time, seeing Song Yikun subconsciously trying to hide again, she coaxed and said: "Don't resist." As a result, Song Yikun was deprived of his dignity again.In a sense, Xia Yingjie had ruled him in the name of love. When the door was closed, Song Yikun impatiently wiped off the lip prints on his face, then turned his hands away, raised his head, looked at him, and walked a few steps like everyone else, only then did he feel that he had returned to himself.

The business center is located on the left side of the hall on the first floor. The typing room is made of aluminum alloy and blue glass, which is beautiful and eye-catching.There are four computers and two copiers of different specifications arranged in an orderly manner in the room. The working environment is very clean and standardized.The staff wear uniforms, which are both dignified and pleasing to the eye. According to the division of labor, Xia Yingjie is responsible for English typing and English translation. She works hard and is enthusiastic, so her interpersonal relationship is very good.This environment undoubtedly provides convenience for her to use her spare time to write, especially during the period from eleven o'clock at noon to one o'clock when there is usually no business, and one-third of her manuscripts are completed in these two hours.

At ten o'clock, Xia Yingjie was proofreading with a printed proof, when the phone rang, it was for her, and she heard Jiang Wei's voice. "Ajie?" Jiang Wei said, "There is something important. I will take you to meet a bookseller at noon. We made an appointment to meet at Tianfu Restaurant at twelve o'clock. He came last night and will return to Zhanjiang in the afternoon. , I only got to know him through a few connections, and I only met him once, and it is said that he has a lot of supernatural powers, this person must be useful to you, you can't miss the opportunity." "No." Xia Yingjie explained, "Yikun has a friend who lives in Austria and came from Jiangzhou today. I have to pick him up at the airport at eleven o'clock. There is absolutely no time." Jiang Wei paused for a while, and then said: "Well, I will pick you up before eleven o'clock, you must not leave, let's meet and talk." After speaking, she did not allow Xia Yingjie to argue and hung up the phone . When it was almost eleven o'clock, Jiang Wei came on time, the car stopped by the side of the road, and said to Xia Yingjie: "Get in the car, I'll accompany you to the airport." Xia Yingjie looked embarrassed, and got into the car after hesitation. Jiang Wei was driving the car and asked, "Why don't you say hello if you have something to do?" Xia Yingjie said: "I can't and don't want to occupy your working time. Who would dare to bear the burden if it affects your future?" "It's not that serious." Jiang Wei didn't take it seriously, and changed the subject, "I'll inform the other party to postpone the meeting with the bookseller for one hour, and we will meet at Tianfu Restaurant at one o'clock. In this way, the time will be staggered, and there will be no delay, just have to Ask your guests to wait a little longer in the Guoshang Building." "In that case, I have to call Yikun and explain." "I've already called." Jiang Wei said, "I decided this matter without authorization, so I have to pay for the dinner. However, if you make a fortune because of this matter, then it's a different matter." , I have to reverse the case." Xia Yingjie said: "I'm not trying to be polite to you. Yikun has a special activity fund for this book. I definitely don't have enough money on me. You put it on for me first, and I will pay you back later." Jiang Wei understood Xia Yingjie's temper, so she stopped arguing and said with a smile, "Okay." The two talked all the way, and arrived at the airport unknowingly. Many passengers gathered in the lobby.Xia Yingjie and Jiang Wei waited in the lobby for more than ten minutes, and learned from the radio that Wei's plane landed at Haikou Airport on time.Soon, passengers from Jiangzhou began to pass through the airport exits. Xia Yingjie stood between several exits and held a sign with one hand, observing the crowd. A man in a jacket walked towards her looking at the sign and asked politely: "Miss, are you picking up someone for Song Yikun?" Xia Yingjie nodded. After introducing himself, Xia Yingjie knew that it was Wang Hai who came. Wang Hai asked, "Did Brother Kun not come?" "He," Xia Yingjie said with a helpless expression, "he is so used to it now that he is too lazy to even turn over and has to be pushed, so he is almost fed." "Oh?" Wang Hai was obviously very sensitive to this, and subconsciously responded. Wang Hai's fleeting expression did not escape Xia Yingjie's eyes. "This is Miss Jiang Wei, my friend." Xia Yingjie introduced. The three walked out of the hall.Suddenly, someone shouted from behind: "Ajie!" Xia Yingjie turned her head instinctively, and was stunned. She saw a familiar face that she couldn't believe, and blurted out, "Lin Ping?" "It's me, it's me!" Lin Ping seemed to have come out of the ground, she came up to meet him in surprise, grabbed Xia Yingjie's hand, and said excitedly, "I've been looking at you for a long time, and the more you look, the more you look like you, But I just dare not recognize you, I never thought it was really you. Why are you here?" "I'm here to pick up a friend." Xia Yingjie said, still wondering if he was hallucinating, but everything in front of him was indeed real.She shook her head and said: "There will be such a coincidence in the world." Lin Ping also found it unbelievable, and suddenly said: "This is God's will, it must be God's will, this shows that we two have fate and telepathy." Xia Yingjie calmed down and asked, "Why don't you call beforehand when you come to Hainan, so I can prepare myself." "I want to give you a surprise, to shock you." Lin Ping pulled a man next to him, and introduced happily, "This is my boyfriend, Mr. Yang Xiaoning, a French overseas Chinese. I am going abroad soon. Passport, visa After everything is done, I came to Hainan to say goodbye to you." The man named Yang Xiaoning was in his thirties, wearing a neat suit and shiny black leather shoes.Lin Ping was well-dressed, with heavy make-up, making her look like a rich lady. Xia Yingjie said to Wang Hai: "Let me introduce, this is Lin Ping, my friend. This is Mr. Wang, Yikun's friend." Wang Hai's clothes were very ordinary, which somewhat contributed to Lin Ping's sense of superiority, and she just gave him a casual glance before saying hello.Wang Hai obviously didn't appreciate Lin Ping's attire, and just smiled at her, which was obviously forced. Five people left the hall. Xia Yingjie asked Lin Ping to get in the car. Lin Ping looked at Yang Xiaoning, then at the number of people in the same car, frowned unabashedly and said, "It's uncomfortable to have so many people crowded together, I'll call another car. I've already thought about the place, I'm staying at the Nandu Hotel where you work, it's convenient to meet up." Xia Yingjie discussed with Jiang Wei, and decided to let Jiang Wei send Wang Hai to the Guoshang Building, and she accompanied Lin Ping to the Nandu Hotel, and then met at the Guoshang Building to meet the bookseller. Xia Yingjie hailed an "Audi" taxi and asked Yang Xiaoning to sit in the front, while she and Lin Ping sat in the back and left the airport. Lin Ping asked with concern: "Ajie, how is it?" "It's been less than a month since the last call, and everything is the same." Xia Yingjie said with a smile, "Maybe I'm not the smart person you imagined at all, and I'll disappoint you." "What is he doing now? Still eating?" Lin Ping asked.The "he" here refers to Song Yikun, and his tone is also full of contempt.She had always had opinions on Xia Yingjie's choice. Xia Yingjie didn't care about it or argue, but changed the subject and said, "Today is too coincidental and too sudden. I wasn't prepared at all. I have an important appointment at one o'clock, and it's too late to change the time now. I will accompany you to the hotel for accommodation, you should take a rest first, I will call you later, and invite you to dinner at home in the evening." Lin Ping said without hesitation: "I'm here to see you. It's none of his business. If you have to go first, we'll contact you later. I'm going to Shenzhen the day after tomorrow. Now that I'm out, I'll stop by a few more places. I want you to come back tomorrow." Please take a day off and let's go to the beach together." "No problem, I will accompany you." Xia Yingjie said. Looking at her thin girlfriend, Lin Ping sighed helplessly: "You are really asking for trouble. With your figure and appearance, it is a natural blessing, not to mention that you have a degree from a prestigious university. How could you do such a thing?" stupid thing?" Yang Xiaoning had been paying attention to Xia Yingjie from the moment they met, and now she was sitting in front of her and would turn her head to glance at it from time to time.Xia Yingjie saw it in his eyes and felt disgusted in his heart, but it didn't show on his face. He still chatted and laughed with Lin Ping. At this time, Yang Xiaoning turned around and said, "Miss Xia, your conditions are too superior. If you go abroad, you will definitely develop. Don't you feel inferior to living on this isolated island?" Xia Yingjie smiled and said, "I don't have much talent, so I can't talk about being talented." "Humble, humble." Yang Xiaoning muttered to himself boredly, turned his face away, and stopped talking. The street where Tianfu Restaurant is located is commonly known by the locals as "Baichi Street" or "Corruption Street". There are many restaurants on both sides of the road, each of which is more luxurious and spectacular than the last, and the welcoming ladies of each family are also unique and charming.This street gathers all kinds of famous dishes from all over the world. Jiang Wei chose this place, which shows that she attaches great importance to this meeting. With more than ten minutes left before Gao's agreed time, Xia Yingjie and Jiang Wei were waiting at the gate of the restaurant.Nearly a little later, a taxi drove over, and two men and a woman got out of the car. It was not difficult for a discerning eye to see that the middle-aged woman must be the boss's wife, and the other well-mannered young man was probably the secretary.The bookseller is a middle-aged man, dressed in general, not tall, but he looks capable and sophisticated. Jiang Wei came forward to greet and introduced the two parties.The bookseller took out a business card and handed it to Xia Yingjie. It was printed on the card: Su Weiguo, General Manager of Zhanjiang Wanluda Culture Company. "Miss Xia is the host today." Jiang Wei smiled and gestured, "Everyone, please come in." After entering the restaurant, I chose a single seat, and the waitress stood aside with a professional smile waiting for them to order.Xia Yingjie handed the recipe to the guest and asked him to order. Su Weiguo took the recipe but put it down, took a sip of tea and said, "If you don't have a work, you won't waste money in this kind of place. The salary is not enough for the meal, since you are here, it means that you have works and sincerity, we can sit down and talk. But let’s make it clear, the meal costs 30-70% and I pay 70%, so the distribution is more fair.” "Mr. Su, what does this mean?" Jiang Wei's face changed suddenly, and she asked coldly. "Don't get me wrong, I don't mean to belittle at all." Su Weiguo explained, "I'm a businessman, and I only recognize works but not people. I won't make up for favors in transactions because of a meal in the future. I hope to invite you, but You won't accept it, you are a different kind of woman, so let's eat our own." "Really." Xia Yingjie said, "Just do what Mr. Su said." As a result, everyone present took turns ordering dishes according to their own tastes. The atmosphere was not affected by what happened just now, on the contrary, it seemed more relaxed.Su Weiguo also dismissed the service lady for the convenience of talking. Xia Yingjie went straight to the point and said: "Mr. Su, today is an opportunity for me. I would like to introduce the book I wrote first. If you are interested in the content of the book, I hope to cooperate soon. At the same time, I would like to take this opportunity I also want to know a little bit about publishing and distribution, in trendy terms, it’s called two-way selection.” Su Weiguo said: "I make a living by publishing books. Finding high-quality manuscripts is the same feeling as gold diggers discovering gold mines. Please let Ms. Xia introduce the manuscripts first." Xia Yingjie gave a detailed introduction of the theme, plot and characteristics of the novel, and also answered some questions raised by Su Weiguo.Xia Yingjie could tell from the other party's eyes that Su Weiguo had become interested in this book, otherwise he would not have shown the corresponding patience. As the saying goes: Laymen watch the excitement, while professionals watch the way.With his unique professional sense, Su Weiguo felt the authoress' language ability and ideological realm from Xia Yingjie's conversation, and what particularly interested him was her objective understanding of survival and society, without any romance .Experience told him: Only such authors can write more in-depth works.He stared at Xia Yingjie and asked, "Miss Xia, how old are you this year?" "Twenty-five years old." Xia Yingjie replied. Su Weiguo said very confidently: "Your speech and the ideas and concepts expressed in your works are no longer directly proportional to your age. Although you have gone to a higher education institution, your consciousness of survival is by no means learned from Chinese textbooks. You can learn from it. I think, either you live in a special environment, or you have a good coach behind you." "Maybe." Xia Yingjie said, "But what I care about now is your management ability. If my manuscript is worth a few copper coins, I have to rely on the help of noble people." Su Weiguo introduced his business strength as a broker. In contemporary China, booksellers undoubtedly belong to those who get rich first, and Su Weiguo is a relatively successful member of this group.He has an economic strength of more than two million yuan, and his network extends in all directions. He has friends in the publishing industry all over the country, and his powerful distribution network can penetrate every city in the country.He has his own information collection program and his own editors, and he can get in touch with any one of the thousands of bookstalls across the country. Xia Yingjie asked: "In your opinion, what is a good book?" "I am a law student, and business has only been in the past few years." Su Weiguo first explained this point, and then continued, "The so-called good books refer to books that can make money and do not violate laws and regulations. Careful classification can distinguish readers. Divided into many types such as politicians, quasi-literate people, idlers, etc., they can focus on readers’ pockets and do what they like. Chinese people know that readers’ tastes sometimes conflict with laws and regulations, and as a bookseller, neither can afford to offend , so you have to play between the two. The law and the reader are the first, and you have to save your life and make a profit." Xia Yingjie said: "The government has issued repeated orders not to allow the sale of book numbers. Will this affect you?" Su Weiguo smiled and said: "Collaborative publishing is a specialty of China. To a large extent, it has become a tacit understanding of buying and selling book numbers. It is an open secret in the whole country. The national remuneration standards have long been outdated. I hope that I can get benefits from the publishing house, and if a book is published, it will be good if the author does not post it in reverse." In this way, they talked at the dinner table for more than an hour. When parting, Su Weiguo asked: "Miss Xia, when will your book be finished at the earliest?" "If it goes well, it may be in July." "Well, I'll wait." Su Weiguo said, "After you finish writing, you can call me at the number on the business card, and we can discuss the specific conditions after reading the manuscript. If possible, you can also use this supply and demand relationship as a cooperative form is fixed." "I don't dare to have the confidence to survive by writing books." Xia Yingjie said with a smile. The two sides said goodbye at the gate of the restaurant. After getting in the car, Jiang Wei asked, "How do you feel?" "At least he doesn't look like a liar." Xia Yingjie said, "If it's more affordable to cooperate with him than a publishing house, of course you will earn a little more. If you really make a small fortune, you Jiang Wei will definitely contribute." "So what? Invite me to dinner again?" "My own people, do we still need this cliché?" Xia Yingjie said on purpose. Jiang Wei smiled happily. After leaving the restaurant, they immediately went to Guoshang Building to pick up Wang Hai.On the way, Xia Yingjie sent the letter to the post office, sent out the manuscript bidding registration fee, and bought 2,000 sheets of special printing paper at an office supplies store. Song Yikun was waiting for Wang Hai's arrival at home. He had already learned about Xia Yingjie's meeting with the bookseller from Jiang Wei's phone call. Although he thought it was unnecessary in his heart, he verbally agreed. After all, more information and one more channel are not a bad thing.Besides, Jiang Wei has already made arrangements, and there is still a problem of favor and face. After three o'clock, the doorbell rang, and Wang Hai, accompanied by Xia Yingjie and Jiang Wei, appeared in front of Song Yikun. When they reunited after a long absence, Wang Hai seemed very affectionate. He took out "Brother Kun" one bite at a time, took out two Austrian famous brand cigarettes and exquisite craft matches from the box, and specially brought Xia Yingjie a lot of foreign famous brand cosmetics and high-end chocolates.Song Yikun, on the other hand, made a few indifferent entertainments, he was not interested in gifts, and lacked enthusiasm. It seemed that he was not receiving a friend who traveled far and wide, but a neighbor. Wang Hai is not surprised by Song Yikun's character. Xia Yingjie came out of the kitchen, served steaming hot tea, and poured a cup for everyone present. When he saw the cosmetics on the table, he scolded: "Mr. Wang, you have come all the way to see Yikun, and your mood is exhausted. What are you shopping for?" Wang Hai smiled and said, "I don't have much education, I'm a rough person, I don't know how to buy things, and I don't know how to give things away. If I'm rude, please forgive me." "Stop it." Xia Yingjie said with a smile, "Don't call me sister-in-law in the future. I haven't become a regular yet. Maybe one day a letter of divorce will be thrown over me. How can I step down?" Xia Yingjie's tone contained a hint of complaining about Song Yikun.Song Yikun pretended not to hear, got up and went to the study to get a thousand yuan in cash and handed it to her, "You must have borrowed money from Jiang Wei for dinner today, and you will pay it back immediately." Jiang Wei smiled and said, "It's wrong. I met an honest gentleman today, and the bookseller was afraid that he would make up for the deal in the future, so he got his own food and didn't spend much." Xia Yingjie took the money and said: "This money has to be used, because Lin Ping came, and happened to be on the same plane as Mr. Wang, and she brought her boyfriend with her. I have to go to Nandu Hotel to take care of her." "Lin Ping?" Song Yikun remembered and asked, "What is she doing here?" "She's going abroad, come to say goodbye." "By plane to say goodbye?" Song Yikun couldn't help smiling slightly, "The spectrum is not small." Xia Yingjie said: "I have to accompany Lin Ping for dinner at night. I can't control you anymore, so I will wrong you to find something to eat yourself. Jiang Wei has business in the afternoon, so I will drop by." Jiang Wei said: "I have dinner tonight, if it's too late, I won't be able to pick up Mr. Wang." "Wang Hai went back by taxi." Song Yikun said.Then he said to Xia Yingjie: "Put away the things and go about your business." Xia Yingjie found a gift bag, put all the cosmetics and chocolates on the table into it, and left only two cigarettes, then carried the bag and left with Jiang Wei. The room suddenly fell silent. Song Yikun took apart the cigarettes brought by Wang Hai, took out one, lit it, took a few puffs and said: "Not bad, but a little bit less energetic." Wang Hai asked: "Brother Kun is not very satisfied with me, is he?" "Yes." Song Yikun said, "It's too much to beat Jinlong into a cripple. Now his wife and children are separated, and this life is over." "He asked for it." Wang Hai said unconvinced, "I did the tax evasion. Since Brother Kun took the blame for me, I have to give you an explanation, otherwise who am I? You have been fined so much, the company has collapsed, and Liu Jinlong shouldn’t be held responsible for such a huge loss?” "Forget it, let's not mention the past." Song Yikun sighed repressedly, and asked, "You have been in Jiangzhou for a long time, did you not visit Lin Feng's house?" "Look." Wang Hai said, "You're going to pay 10,000, and I'll give you 10,000 if I'm too short. In fact, my life is not easy." "That's because you have too much appetite." Song Yikun said, "You put all the red flags in Vienna, and then came back to make such a big scene. It's normal that funds are tight." Wang Hai wanted to say "it's not that kind of thing at all", but he was embarrassed to say it when he got to his mouth, so he just smiled vaguely twice, and then said: "It's been almost two years in a flash, Brother Kun has slept for so long , I heard that I have to get help if I am too lazy to even turn over, should I move?" Song Yikun took a sip of tea, and said unhurriedly: "My client in Yunan has developed a patented product, and it should be profitable after it is put into production. Ajie's book is almost finished, and it is estimated that there will be a considerable income. People, after gaining popularity, the prospects will be more optimistic. I am grasping both material wealth and spiritual wealth, everything is done step by step, and there is nothing to move." "Oh, that's right." Wang Hai reluctantly echoed, revealing that he clearly did not want to see such a result.He smiled and said, "Brother Kun, I'm putting my ugly words up front. If one day I can't get along anymore, I'll come to you." "It's a joke," Song Yikun said, "you are all doing big things, and you are talking about grand occasions. You can't compare with me, who is striving for a well-off life. Besides, my temple is too small, and the eaves are so high. If you want to stand upright, you have to Bump your head." "Then I'll just squat." Wang Hai chuckled, and then said with emotion, "It would be great if the company in Shanghai wasn't so good, doing business like that is really enjoyable, it seems that money comes from the sky for some reason. It fell off. I never understood, how do you know where there is business and where there is no business? How do you know who to talk to and how?" "Use your brains, you will have everything." Song Yikun said calmly, "China has been liberated for more than 40 years, and there has been a lot of fighting and fighting. It is not easy to think of legislation until now. No matter how the transition is, there is a historical inertia. , so we need to cross the river by feeling the stones, and the deeper we go, the deeper the water, and we can't touch it to a certain extent, so we need to formulate scientific guidance. Not every generation of people in this transitional period is lucky enough to catch up, that is to say, China is full of opportunities and loopholes. According to statistics, China loses 100 million yuan of state-owned assets every day. Where does the money go? It flows into the pockets of some people.” "Unfortunately, it didn't flow into my pocket." Wang Hai shook his head regretfully. Song Yikun continued: "According to the theory of evolution, when the climate of the universe undergoes a major fission, some monkeys adapted to the changes on the earth and gradually evolved into humans, while the other monkeys missed the opportunity, and as a result, they are still monkeys after tens of thousands of years. .” "I understand, I understand." Wang Hai said twice.In fact, he didn't understand anything, he just kept thinking in his heart: "Whatever you say, you have to join Brother Kun's pile. If you join in, you will no longer be a monkey, but you will be able to evolve into a human being." They talked for more than two hours, probably Song Yikun was talking.Song Yikun's words sounded very incoherent, like a mystery lacking a theme, both moving and still, with both a calm and steady ease, and occasional flashes of sharpness, like a strategy taught to the other party, and like a strategy for himself scheming.Between fiction and reality, Wang Hai seemed to be listening to a heavenly book. Song Yikun didn't ask a word about Wang Hai and Sun Gang's situation in Vienna, and never said anything about the Jiangzhou joint venture, but just played the piano conscientiously. Xia Yingjie walked on the red carpet to the end of the corridor on the west side of the sixth floor. The door of Lin Ping's guest room was locked, and a small delicate sign was hung on the beautiful lock handle, with the words "Do Not Disturb" written on it. She had no choice but to leave, and went to the main service desk in the lobby on the first floor to call the guest room, but it was Yang Xiaoning who answered the phone. He said enthusiastically, "Lin Ping is taking a bath, and she has to prepare to go to the dance hall to dance at night. If Miss Xia Don't mind, please wait in my room first, it's next door." "No, I'll wait for her in the lobby on the first floor." After speaking, she put down the phone.I went to the business center again while waiting for someone, explained the situation to the manager, and asked for a day off in advance. After more than half an hour, Lin Ping finally came down, still so gorgeous, she could always make part of her eyes follow her steps.Xia Yingjie stood up from the sofa in the corner of the hall to meet him, and the two of them sat down on the sofa. "Sorry for keeping you waiting." Lin Ping said apologetically. Xia Yingjie smiled, handed the gift bag to Lin Ping and said, "You come all the way, I don't have anything to give away. It just so happened that Yikun's friend sent something, and I thought I could get it out, so I borrowed flowers to present to Buddha." .” Lin Ping opened it and said excitedly, "Good guy, they're all brand-name goods, and they cost a lot of money. I can't tell, that idiot can buy some high-end things." That idiot refers to Wang Hai. Xia Yingjie knew that Wang Hai fought in Jiangzhou with his bare hands. Now he is an overseas Chinese, living in Vienna, a world-famous city, with an economic strength of more than three million yuan.But she didn't want to talk about it, because in the eyes of a "princess", everything is small.She just said with emotion: "I didn't expect you to have such a big change in just half a year." "That's the right route." Lin Ping smiled smugly, and continued, "Ajie, your life is difficult now, you should keep these things for use, so as not to spend money on buying them." "I don't dare to start with it. If I get used to it, I won't eat." "Then I have no choice but to accept it." Lin Ping held the gift bag in her hand and said, "It's still early, I'll send the things up first, and then let's go out for a walk, just the two of us, to the most lively place in Haikou." Lin Ping went upstairs to deliver the things and came back soon. They left the hotel together and took a taxi to Haixiu Avenue. Xia Yingjie accompanied her, leaving this shopping mall and then entering that shopping mall, looking at jewelry after looking at fashion, and underwear after looking at shoes.Xia Yingjie had been on the island for half a year, and he had never dared to be so extravagant.At best, I rode a car on the road and watched a few times.Today, she took this opportunity to fully experience her addiction and feast her eyes. The two of them were thirsty and tired, Xia Yingjie suggested going to the coffee shop for some cold drinks.They entered a coffee shop called "Rose Garden", where the elegant atmosphere is most suitable for conversation. Xia Yingjie took a sip of lemon juice with a straw and said, "If you don't need to keep it secret, can you tell me what you plan to do after you go to France?" Lin Ping said: "Yang Xiaoning's father opened a very luxurious beauty shop in Paris. I plan to work in the shop for a year or two to learn some skills, and then set up my own business and open a beauty shop by myself. Of course, I will start with small ones first. , will become bigger and bigger in the future.” "That would require a considerable investment." "Money is not a problem." Lin Ping said confidently, "I won a prize and earned 80,000 yuan, and I borrowed some more to make up 100,000 yuan. Yang Xiaoning will pay for the insufficient money. We will be a family sooner or later. I don’t want me to break into it, but I’m a strong person, so I have to do my own thing.” "How did you know Yang Xiaoning?" Geng Yingjie was very concerned about this question. "In a song and dance hall in Beijing." Lin Ping said, "Yunan TV held a top ten shopping mall event. At the awards ceremony, all ten Miss Yunan who won the beauty contest participated, and the top ten shopping malls paid for it later. Organized a trip and went to Beijing for three days." "It's only been three days, and we met in a dance hall, is it reliable?" Xia Yingjie asked again. "I definitely knew you would ask that." Lin Ping was a little displeased, frowning her beautifully groomed eyebrows and said, "If Yang Xiaoning is unreliable, then yours is even more unreliable. Don't forget, you are I met him in the detention center, and it took less than three minutes, so the dance hall is not as clean as the detention center? Is three days not as reliable as your three minutes?" Xia Yingjie was speechless, she really had nothing to say, she couldn't help but think of a sentence she read in a book: Getting a stupid person to accept the truth is no easier than letting a toad go to heaven.而此时不要说真理了，就连一个正常人的思维程序都无法被对方接受。她只得笑笑说：“你怎么了？关心你也错了？” 林萍也恢复了笑容，说：“你还是多关心一下自己吧。老实告诉你，我来海口就是为了让你看看我的变化，刺激刺激你的神经，好让你碰出点灵性来。我的良苦用心，你懂吗？” 夏英杰只是微笑而不做回答。 出了“玫瑰园”，天色已黑，海秀大道满街灯火，五光十色的霓虹灯广告闪烁不停，真成了一个花花绿绿的世界，海口的夜生活拉开了帷幕。 夏英杰站在路边叫出租车，这时林萍拉了她一把，指着不远处的一男一女说：“你看，那女的拉客呢。” 一个浓妆艳抹的女子确实在拉客。夏英杰没有理会，叫住一辆出租车便拉林萍上去了。 车子都开出老远，林萍这才回头鄙夷地说：“这种事我在北京也见过，真让人恶心。这种女人还活个什么劲儿？放到我身上，我早死了。” “还是多想想晚上吃什么吧。”夏英杰说，“今天是我请客，你可别错过了这个大好的机会。” “饶不了你。”林萍开心地说。 这一晚，一向精打细算的夏英杰实实在在地铺张了一回，她陪着林萍和杨小宁在饭店的高级餐厅吃了一顿，又陪他们在歌舞厅玩了两个小时，钱像流水一样花着，只为不让林萍感到冷落。 当她乘出租车回到家时，已经是夜里十一点了。而明天她还得陪林萍，尽管她的时间十分宝贵，尽管文稿竞价活动一天天临近。
