Shanghai is prosperous

Chapter 11 Jiaotong University Professor Xie
The first taste of Qingquan's teeth is timid, and Wu Ji's hands are still fragrant for three days.When a large number of oranges are on the market in a year.

Wang Yiyuan likes oranges.On the hillside behind his house in his hometown in Hunan, there is a large lush orange grove.

In autumn when they are ripe, the oranges turn from green to yellow, and from yellow to red. The round ones are hung on the tree one by one, as if they are covered with little red lanterns, bending the branches.The autumn wind blows, and bursts of rich orange fragrance float with the wind, which is refreshing and refreshing.

Wang Yiyuan has always felt that only one orange is enough for the fruit in the world.This is from his childhood experience of eating oranges.One is the orange itself, which symbolizes auspiciousness, prosperity, and consummation.

The second is this kind of experience, which lies in the clear and plump orange flesh wrapped in the milky white silk after the orange is peeled off.They are full of water and exude a faint fragrance. Pick a petal and put it in your mouth to bite. The sweet and slightly sour juice immediately fills the tongue. It is ice-sweet and refreshing, flowing like a mountain spring.

It was the National Day holiday. In 2005, the Wujia Lane area of ​​Shanghai Huqingping Highway was very lively because it was close to the Dongfang International Trade Wholesale Market and Hongqiao International Airport, with a constant flow of people and vehicles.

At the crossroads not far away, Liu Xiang, a flying man with the words "China has me, Asia has me" on the antiaircraft gun billboard, draped in the national flag and crossing all the way is particularly conspicuous, shining brightly in the autumn sunset.

Under the Huqingping Viaduct, on both sides of Qixin Road, there are all kinds of trucks selling oranges, and the air is filled with the shouts of selling oranges with local accents.

Wang Yiyuan was picking oranges from a pickup truck on the side of the road. A semi-new Santana 2000 stopped beside him with a creak. Stretch it out, Xiao Wang, buy oranges.

When Wang Yiyuan heard someone calling him, he turned his head and saw that it was Lao Xie.He hurriedly greeted and said, Teacher Xie, I didn't expect to meet him.

Seeing Lao Xie get out of the car, the vendor came over with some plastic bags and said, Boss buys oranges?Five yuan and four catties, packed with sweets, local oranges from Chongming, all brought here this morning.

Wang Yiyuan walked over to Lao Xie, smiled and said, Teacher Xie, just choose, I will treat you today, don't be polite.

Hehe, ok, ok.While talking, Lao Xie went around the rear of the car, opened the front door on the other side of the car, and said to Wang Yiyuan, "Xiao Wang, come here, let's get acquainted. This is your Aunt Fang."

Wang Yiyuan hurried over, put his hands on the edge of the roof, and said to the people in the car, "Hello, Aunt Fang, hello, Aunt Fang."Aunt Fang got out of the car, stared at Wang Yiyuan and said, are you Xiao Wang?
At this time, it was dusk, and the weather was still not very cold. Aunt Fang had long fluffy wavy hair, carefully groomed and delicate facial features, and was wearing a deep red silk scarf and a dark green cheongsam. A delicate and elegant Shanghai woman.

She looked Wang Yiyuan from head to toe, from foot to head, and then smiled softly. Pointing to Wang Yiyuan with her little finger, she continued, "Old Xie came back from Ningbo the day before yesterday and said that he made a friend in the car, is it you?"
Hehe, it's a year-end friendship.Lao Xie took the conversation, smiled and said.He turned sideways and said to Wang Yiyuan, you are alone in Shanghai anyway, if you have more time, come over to my house Baixiang, I gave you the address, is it still there?There are some.

Wang Yiyuan quickly said that he was afraid of bothering you.what's the trouble.We are also half fellows.Lao Xie said, also, these few days are on holiday, you can come to my house when you have time, I have something to tell you.

Lao Xie is a professor at the Agricultural College of Shanghai Jiaotong University. He specializes in fruit cultivation and growth. He is in his 50s and is a native of Ningbo.

Contrary to Aunt Fang's typical image of a southern girl, he looks more like a northerner. He is a big man, looks big and thick, dresses more casually, speaks loudly, and is full of spirit. It is very different, but it may be closer to the image of a farmer and trader on the side of the road.

Every time Wang Yiyuan saw this Professor Xie, he felt that if he had to be called a high-level intellectual, it might be referring to his bright and brilliant head that always glowed with oil.

Before coming to Shanghai, Wang Yiyuan worked in Ningbo for more than five years, so he is half a Ningbo native. Before the "Eleventh" National Day, the former Ningbo colleague and friend Xu Dajun got married, and Wang Yiyuan went to Ningbo for a wedding.When I returned to Shanghai the day before yesterday, it turned out that I couldn't buy tickets for cars, trains, or any other tickets.

He was familiar with the situation at Ningbo Station, so he had to take several small motorcycle trips before he got on a black minibus at a high price. The seat happened to be next to Lao Xie.This kind of minibus often stops and stops in the urban area before going to the intersection of the expressway, and keeps soliciting passengers in the middle until the seats are full.Fortunately, it is during the festival, and when you come out from Ningbo South Station, it will be full of people in a short while.

When the car got on the expressway, Wang Yiyuan was sitting still, so he spread out the newspaper and read the "Southern Weekend" he had just bought.

Lao Xie was also bored, so to pass the time, he borrowed the newspaper in Wang Yiyuan's hand to read, and then the two of them expressed their own opinions on some reports in the newspaper, and began to chat with each other.

Coincidentally, I didn't expect that Lao Xie and Wang Yiyuan both lived in Qibao, Shanghai, and the distance between them was suddenly shortened virtually, thus creating a lot of topics.

The car drove to the service area of ​​Jiaxing Expressway to rest halfway, and Wang Yiyuan and Lao Xie also had fast food together.In this way, after nearly 4 hours of driving, the two actually cherished each other, and both felt that it was too late to meet each other, so they exchanged addresses and phone numbers.

When the minibus arrived at Shanghai Xinzhuang, the two got off and took a taxi together. On the way, Lao Xie got off first in the middle of Qixin Road.When we parted, Lao Xie jokingly said, we all live in Qibao, maybe we might run into each other on the side of the road someday.

I didn't think about it today, but I really ran into it in a few days.Wang Yiyuan still feels that the acquaintance between himself and Lao Xie was too much accidental, and it can even be said to be a little strange.

Two people who seem to be completely unrelated, regardless of age, experience, knowledge, social life, status, etc., are basically not on the same road, but because they are in the same car and have an intersection, the two are actually Not to mention how much they said, but because they met each other's eyes, they became confidantes, transcending time and space, as if they had known each other in the spiritual world for many years.

Wang Yiyuan couldn't help thinking of a sentence.The Buddha said, looking back five hundred times in the previous life, in exchange for passing by in this life.

Hehe, there is only one possibility of rubbing shoulders once five hundred times looking back.Wang Yiyuan himself couldn't help laughing out loud at himself, how many five hundred would it take for him and Lao Xie to have such a long-lasting friendship.

In fact, the Buddha went on to say another sentence, an encounter in this life must have given birth to too many memories in the previous life.All fate is fate, in fact, whether it is love, family affection, or friendship, it is probably not the case.

Amitabha, I can only say that fate is not easy.Wang Yiyuan thought to himself, but what does Lao Xie want to talk to me about?
After calling in the evening, knowing that Lao Xie would be at home the next day, Wang Yiyuan decided to visit Lao Xie.

The Agricultural College of Shanghai Jiaotong University, which is located in Qibao, was originally called Shanghai Agricultural College. After being merged into Shanghai Jiaotong University, it was renamed the College of Agriculture and Biology, but people still call it Agricultural College, or Jiaotong University Agricultural College.

Lao Xie's family doesn't live in the dormitory area of ​​the school, but bought a commercial apartment in the east area of ​​Fuli Apartment next to the school. It is more than 120 square meters, with three bedrooms and two living rooms. It is very spacious and quiet.They have a son who is studying in the UK.

Aunt Fang owns a small restaurant next to the airport new village on Huqingping Highway, which specializes in seafood from Xiangshan, Ningbo. During the day, she has to take care of various affairs in the restaurant, so Xie usually stays alone at home.

Wang Yiyuan brought a lot of fruit and knocked on the door.Lao Xie opened the door and saw Wang Yiyuan, he laughed and said, I just study fruits, so you still give me fruits?Wang Yiyuan said along with his mouth, that's why I sent you for inspection.

After chatting casually for a while, Lao Xie said seriously, Xiao Wang, I want you to come over this time, that's what I think.You are still young, but your academic qualifications are a bit low. We need to look at the long-term perspective. I suggest that you go to another undergraduate or even graduate school. This will definitely benefit your future development in Shanghai.

Wang Yiyuan has always had this idea of ​​continuing to study, but it is just that he has been stuck in miscellaneous chores for the past few years after graduating from Loudi Teachers College, and has not really done it, so it has been delayed.

Now that everything in Shanghai has stabilized for the time being, and he comes and goes without any worries, he feels that it is time to study again.

Lao Xie went on to say, the one above us is a professor from our School of Management.I have inquired that their college is preparing to open an MBA training class for social incumbents, and will issue a formal diploma if they pass the school's exam.I suggest that you directly apply for this MBA training class. You have graduated from a junior college and have worked for more than five years. The basic conditions should be sufficient.

Wang Yiyuan asked, just don't know what the tuition fee is?

Lao Xie said that the duration of this on-the-job training class is two and a half years, and the classes are held four times a month, basically using weekends.The whole reading is about [-] to [-].Let me tell you, try to reduce the amount as much as possible, and see if you can get around [-].

Wang Yiyuan thought about it, and felt that he could still afford the tuition, so he said to Lao Xie, thank you very much.I just don't know if there is a requirement for English proficiency in this study class?

Lao Xie said that English is definitely required, but it may be relatively relaxed.You sign up and read first, and you can figure out how to deal with these things when the time comes.

Wang Yiyuan felt that what Lao Xie said was very reasonable, so the matter of enrolling in the MBA training class of Jiaotong University was settled in this way.
