Revival Road

Chapter 54

"Go fishing with me tomorrow, don't make yourself look like Jiao Yulu." It was already late, and Tao Tang, who was reading a book, received a call from Sun Dunquan.

"No, I have plans for tomorrow."

"I went to the guest house in the evening, and I just saw your brother and sister-in-law go in, so I didn't bother you. Do you want to know how the following evaluate you?"

"Do not want to."

"Dear Mr. Tao, there are a lot of compliments below, saying that you are Jiao Yulu. Really, I won't lie to you."

"Curse me to die young?"

"Don't be ignorant. How many people would praise the leader like that? I said Secretary Jiao, you still have to combine work and rest. How can you do a good job if you can't rest? I don't ask you to do things, even though you are still in the Red Star No. [-] Middle School. On your territory, my wife is not your soldier either. Hanging out with me will not damage the image of wisdom you have worked so hard to build."

"No. The factory is on vacation, don't you know? I'm fishing with my friends during working hours? You're going to hurt me again."

"Your ex can take his wife to go abroad to play. What's the point of fishing? You have also been a top leader. Don't you know that the rules are set for the lower level? When the level is high enough, it doesn't matter to take a break from work, and the rest is too. Work. By the way, what are the arrangements for May Day? Go back to Yanjing or Binjiang?" Sun Dunquan continued to smile.

"That's not your business."

"Let's be serious. I heard that you led the team to East Lake? Did you see that bastard Tang Yikun?"

"I said you, the older you get, the more unreliable you are."

"I'm talking about business with you. I want to talk to that bastard..."

"What are you talking about with the bastard? Are you a bastard too?"

"I'm going to write a book based on Donghu Industrial as the prototype. For online articles, this kind of book is still relatively popular."

"Tang Yikun will never accept your interview. Didn't you try that day?"

"I've been researching East Lake during this time. To be honest, it's amazing."

"Don't forget, it was created by the bastard."

"Just kidding. It's true that he is a bastard, but that kind of bastard is very outstanding and rare. Listen to me, I am most interested in Tang Yikun's first pot of gold. He founded Donghu Mining in 1996 , At that time, he was only 26 years old, and he bought a large mine in Dongshan with an annual output of 6 tons of lignite... This is the most important thing, you know what I mean.”

"I do not understand what you mean."

"I mean, where did he get the money? That's an investment of tens of millions."

"Fish have their way, and shrimp have their way. Do you care where people get their funds? Loans, borrowing, there are many ways."

"This is a very critical issue. I think this is also the most attractive part. You know, in 1996, my monthly salary was less than 500 yuan. Do the math, it's really interesting."

"I don't object to you cheating money online, but there's no need to be serious, right? It's not about historical research."

"No, real events are always better than fiction. I want you to do me a favor..."

"Look, are you here? Didn't you say you have no desires for me?"

"This has nothing to do with your reputation. I just asked you to speak to Old Tang for me. If you said it, he might see me. If I go directly, I will definitely not see the true God."

"Writer Sun, let me tell you the truth. With Lao Tang's current situation, how can I have time to chat with you? How can you treat him as his family? I feel dizzy when I hear it. Anyway, I can't do his job. Come on, forget it. Go to bed early and catch your fish early tomorrow."

"Old Tao, Mr. Tao, Director Tao, you can't do this. This is a legitimate appeal of the masses."

"You are a troublemaker. What qualifications do you have to represent the masses?" Tao Tang liked to bicker with Sun Dunquan. When he was in Shengdong, he always regarded the chat with Sun Dunquan as a kind of rest.

"Why can't I represent the masses? Didn't I resign because of the heavy burden on Red Star? Let me tell you, I'm not talking nonsense. We laid-off workers have suffered a lot. The factory gave us so much. The money will send us away, that’s not okay. Many people are planning to talk to the factory.”

"Fuck you. I didn't persuade you not to resign? You did it voluntarily! The policy is the same, you wrote the application yourself, and it still has your fingerprint on it."

"That's because you people in power are using the asymmetry of information to fool the masses! This case must be overturned, it must be overturned."

"Look it up, you go to the court to look it up."

"Look, the real face is exposed, right? I just said it to those Red Star employees who are fooled by your false appearance. Don't trust Tao Tang. He is not different from Song Yue in essence, but he is good at It's just a disguise."

"Disguise is also a skill. Do you have it? I can guarantee that if you pretend once, you will be sent to a mental hospital by your neighbor or your wife."

"You're right about that. The reality is so cruel that the common people are deprived of even the right to pretend." Sun Dunquan seemed a little depressed on the phone.

"Don't you always pretend to be the common people? Can you represent the common people? Don't you think it's shameful to make up nonsense stories all day long to deceive ignorant boys and girls?"

"Why am I ashamed? Ah? What I do is mental work, which is not fundamentally different from your deceiving employees... No, it is still different. I think I am much nobler than you."

"Go away, I'm going to sleep."

"Is it uncomfortable to be alone?" Sun Dunquan on the other end of the phone smiled lewdly, "Old Tao, don't waste your time, hurry up and marry your little wife and sister back."

Tao Tang pinched the phone.But the call came in again immediately. He thought it was Sun Dunquan who was causing trouble, so he cut it off directly, but the call came in again unrelentingly.I grabbed it and took a look, hey, and connected.

"Who are you talking to? The line is always busy?"

"Just talking to an idler... I thought it was him who called in again, but I didn't expect it was the leader checking the post. I'm sorry."

"Could it be that you are talking about a girlfriend?" The young men who leave school are still popular. Red Star is a big factory, and there must be no shortage of school beauties, let’s get one?"

"These words don't match your identity... I'm recording."

"Care about comrades. Seriously, how's the situation?"

"normal."

"I'm sure. Are there any arrangements for May Day, return to Yanjing?"

"I was just going to ask you. Feng Shizhao wants to meet you, can I?"

"Actually, we met in Beiyang after he sent you to take office. I know why he came. I have already left the Ministry of Officials, so I'm afraid I won't be able to help you."

"I'm going back to Yanjing. If you let me know, I can return to my life."

"Okay, yes. But the exact time is hard to decide. Let's get in touch when the time comes."

"It's better to be earlier. I still want to go back to Binjiang, and I have to deal with some housework."

"Fight for it. Tao Tang, you boy, what can I say about you? You're back, and you're so close, why don't you come and see me?"

"Understand Long live. My mess..."

"It's possible we'll see each other more often."

"Really? That's good. One or two?"

"If I were the second child, why would I leave Beiyang?"

"congratulations."

"It's not sure whether it's a blessing or a curse. Hey, Lao Tao, guess who I saw last month?"

"You have a wide range of friends and a high level, how could I guess that."

"Third Gong. Can't think of it?"

"Hey, I really didn't expect it. Isn't he in Sweden? Returned?"

"Interviewing as a friendly foreigner, I asked about you. At that time, you were still sitting on the bench in Yanjing, so I didn't contact you. The main reason was that time was too tight. He didn't go to Yanjing. He flew from Shanghai to meet you in a hurry. I went to Xijing on the side.”

"We haven't seen each other for 15 years. Is he okay?"

"That's it. It's true that character determines destiny. If he stays in the country, he will not be as good as Liu Lao Wu. By the way, something happened to Xie Lao Er."

"what happened?"

"What else? I went in. I persuaded him a long time ago, but he didn't listen. He was too publicized, and he was looking for death. Our class was really ill-fated back then, and the military training alone lasted for a whole year. There are six people in the same bed, two of them have gone abroad, and the fifth child is an expert, and his life is actually quite nourishing. You, Xie second child, and I are born to be busy. Now that the second child is finished, it is really boring to think about it. "

"What's the matter with the second child?"

"Isn't he in charge of education? There was an accident in a school and someone died, so he was exempted. If you say exempt, you can be exempted. Who made you unlucky enough to meet him? He is lucky. He went to the provincial party committee and insisted on being exempted. An explanation. Annoyed the big leader, well, let me give you an explanation, a working group has been sent down, can it be checked? Tens of millions of deposits and stocks, four houses, and a bunch of colorful things ... Tell me, is that kid out of his mind?"

Tao Tang was speechless.Thinking of the roommate who won the best debater back then.

"Old Tao?"

"I'm listening."

"You're still smart... I remember the heart-to-heart words you said to me when you graduated. Good words..."

"Say it's useful. When will you move?"

"I don't know. I guess it will be soon. It's getting late, take a rest and pay attention to your health. See you in Yanjing."

"See you in Yanjing."

Tao Tang looked at his watch, it was already twelve o'clock.In fact, he can't remember what he said to his friends when he graduated. For more than 20 years, the high-spirited young people have embarked on a completely different path. Those who abandoned the city and returned to the countryside, those who followed the trend and left their families to go abroad, and those who became bright stars in the political arena but were imprisoned... It seems Somewhere has its own arrangements.But he firmly believes that the way of heaven is eternal, if he comes out to mess around, he will have to pay back sooner or later.Those who attribute failure to fate are rogues. Fate is actually in their own hands. If you succeed, you don’t need to thank anyone, and if you fail, you can’t blame others... If you sow melons, you will reap melons.
