Rebirth of the courtyard, the start is 80s

Chapter 536 It's all here, let's keep walking
Not to mention how worried Qiao Simi was about her sister's oppression and restraint, but Xiang Dongfang followed Cao Zhiqiang downstairs, and soon came downstairs in one breath.

I thought that Cao Zhiqiang was going to talk to her downstairs, but who knew that Cao Zhiqiang still kept silent and kept walking forward.

Since Cao Zhiqiang continued walking without saying a word, Xiang Dongfang had no choice but to keep up with him.

The building where Cao Lili and Qiao Simi lived was originally a fund-raising family building for an elementary school, so it was built inside the campus, just at the corner of the school.

Therefore, although the family building in this period did not have the concept of a community and there were not many green belts, but because it was a school family building, it only took a short walk outside to reach the edge of the school playground.

It was already night at this time, and the elementary school at this time did not have evening self-study, so it was not bad to take a walk along the edge of the playground.

At least there are no people around here, so if you want to whisper something, you are not afraid of being heard.

Xiang Dongfang is actually quite confused now, and really wants to explain the matter to Cao Zhiqiang immediately, and then leave quickly and return to his newly rented house.

This kind of uneasy and nervous and irritable situation is rare, at least in her short life, it is very rare.

Even facing her seemingly serious and powerful father, Xiang Dongfang was never so flustered.

But facing Cao Zhiqiang, even just facing his back, she felt flustered, her heart beat faster, and she was even a little at a loss.

Fortunately, Xiang Dongfang is not an ordinary person after all. After walking with Cao Zhiqiang for a while, she may have adapted to this situation, or she may have broken the can, but she became more and more calm.

Before he knew it, Cao Zhiqiang brought Xiang Dongfang to the table tennis court.

Ping-pong is now a national sport, and elementary schools of any level basically have ping-pong tables.

There is also a table tennis field here, but it is open-air, and the table tennis table is also made of cement, which looks durable.

And next to this open-air table tennis court, there are some long concrete benches, which are obviously for people to rest.

"Shall we sit over there?" Cao Zhiqiang suddenly asked, pointing to a nearby concrete bench.

"Well, good." Xiang Dongfang nodded.

Cao Zhiqiang looked at Xiang Dongfang, and then he didn't play any ladies first, but continued to take the lead and sat down.

It's not that Cao Zhiqiang doesn't respect women, but that if he doesn't do this, Xiang Dongfang will definitely not go first. After all, he is Xiang Dongfang's leader, and in this era, there is still a lot of respect for superiors and inferiors, even in private.

Therefore, if Cao Zhiqiang gives way to Xiang Dongfang, it will only make the situation more embarrassing.

On the contrary, it's better to go there first, and then she will follow, nothing will happen.

This has been learned many times before.

After the two of them sat side by side on a long concrete bench, Cao Zhiqiang raised his legs and propped his hands on the surface of the bench. In a very comfortable posture, he watched the afterglow of the sunset in the sky that was getting darker and darker.

Look and look, suddenly feel warm.

After a slight smile, Cao Zhiqiang turned his head to look at Xiang Dongfang who was sitting upright, then turned his head away from her again, continued to look at the sunset and said: "Dongfang, don't be restrained, relax a little, just come out and walk with me, and watch the sunset. .”

"Yeah." Xiang Dongfang obediently turned his head to look at the sunset, his shoulders relaxed a little, but he didn't follow Cao Zhiqiang's way of raising Erlang's legs and supporting the concrete stool with both hands.

Cao Zhiqiang suddenly sighed: "Speaking of which, since I came... since my mother passed away, I seem to have never been able to stop and watch the sunset like this.

I feel like I'm busy every day. I haven't finished one thing, and another thing comes up. I can only do this and that non-stop, as if there are always things that can't be finished.

I am busy every day, racking my brains every day, like a clock that is wound up.

All of a sudden, I realized that I was walking too fast and only cared about chasing the wind, but I missed so many beautiful scenery around me. "

Hearing what Cao Zhiqiang said, Xiang Dongfang couldn't help but smile: "That's probably because you think too much, you want to do too much, and you always want to do it quickly."

Cao Zhiqiang smiled dumbly: "Hehe, it's easy to talk to you. That's right, I asked for it voluntarily, and I can't blame anyone. I can only be hypocritical when I say these things now."

"You can't say that." Xiang Dongfang turned his head and looked at Cao Zhiqiang, "Those who can do more work, you are not an ordinary person, and you are young and aggressive. It is normal and very normal to want to make a career early to prove yourself. Reasonable.

On the contrary, if you have the ability but don't use it, you will just waste your time, which is a waste of money and a waste of talent.

As for how you feel now, it should be tired, and it should be fine to have a good rest. "

Cao Zhiqiang turned his head and glanced at Xiang Dongfang, he chuckled: "Xiang Dongfang, you are really smart, you can't hide anything from you, I'm not as good as you."

"You're joking." Xiang Dongfang laughed, "You are much better than me, don't say I was inferior to you when I was your age, even if I am a few years older than you now, my achievements are far inferior to yours , you are really stronger than me."

"It's not." Cao Zhiqiang laughed at himself, "I'm really not as good as you, I look better than you, just because I have an affair."

"Are you concerned?" Xiang Dongfang frowned, "What do you mean?"

Cao Zhiqiang smiled indifferently: "It's nothing, just, well, I may just have more flashes of inspiration, but in terms of overall IQ, I'm not as good as you."

"Most of the progress of human civilization is a flash of inspiration." Xiang Dongfang laughed, "Just like Newton, if it wasn't for a flash of inspiration, how could he deduce universal gravitation from an apple?"

"Ha, Newton's epiphany depends on apples? You also believe that?" Cao Zhiqiang chuckled.

"Even if the rumors are false, the beginning of any great invention must be a flash of inspiration." Xiang Dongfang laughed, "You can have so many flashes of inspiration, you are almost like a great man."

"Oh hello." Cao Zhiqiang shook his head with a smile, "I now understand that a genius doesn't know how to praise others, but once he praises others, no one else has anything to do with him."

Xiang Dongfang said with a smile: "I'm just stating the facts I've seen. Anyway, no matter what others think, in my eyes, you are a truly talented genius, but you lack persistence, your temper is too jumpy, and your interest is not good enough." too broad.

If you can settle down and study one thing, your achievements will be higher and you will become a real master in some fields. "

"Thank you for your compliment." Cao Zhiqiang nodded, "I know about this problem, but it's hard to change."

Speaking of this, Cao Zhiqiang looked at the sunset again.

That's right, by this time, Cao Zhiqiang had already discovered his problem.

Don't look at Cao Zhiqiang's success so far, and he has spread out a big stall, but in fact, he just spread the stall, but he didn't go deep.

So far, although he has a place in the poetry world, he can only be regarded as a cutting-edge poet, not a real master.

Although he has become a blockbuster in pop songs, he is still incomparable with veteran singers such as Deng Lijun.

Thinking about it carefully, although Cao Zhiqiang has done a lot of things since time travel, most of his time is spent paving the way for his own works.

For example, when Cao Zhiqiang wrote his poems and published them, he thought about starting his own publishing house, publishing his own novels, and maximizing his profits. It is precisely because of this that he put his idea on the head of Sha Zhu, and wanted to contact big leaders through Sha Zhu. , and then get a final shortcut.

Although the shortcut to the end of the south was just one of Cao Zhiqiang's plans, it was indeed one of Cao Zhiqiang's plans, but it was a plan with a low success rate.

Unexpectedly, the plan of contacting the big leader through Shazhu, which he thought had a low success rate, came surprisingly early, and unexpectedly passed, even better than Cao Zhiqiang's original expectation.

If there is no big leader, that is, the wings of Uncle Xu, he will not have the full support of the factory director and director Li, and naturally he will not have the opportunity to contract a publishing house, and he will not be able to control a distribution agency by himself. The possibility of publishing and distributing works for oneself.

However, in China in this era, if a writer cannot control a publishing agency by himself, it is too difficult for a writer to become rich by writing poems.

Cao Zhiqiang was able to become a millionaire by writing books, saying that it was policy and talent, but in fact the root cause was the great leadership.

Without a great leader, there would be no Hongguang Publishing House, and without Hongguang Publishing House, it would be impossible for him to become a millionaire in a very short period of time and become a pivotal figure.

And with his own publishing house, he not only has money, but also has the right to paint according to his own will within a certain range during the initial stage of the reform tide.

For example, cooperating with Hongguang Machinery Factory to develop convenience kiosks in the nature of book kiosks, cooperating with Hongguang Machinery Factory to develop internal logistics, and using the name of Hongguang Machinery Factory to set up audio-visual companies and film studios. , are all incredible things in the eyes of others, but he has done them in a very short period of time.

It can be said that if you don't look at Cao Zhiqiang's actual age, but only look at his current actions and status, he can definitely be called a powerful leader.

Not to mention anything else, but the director of Hongguang Film Studio, this is a proper senior cadre.

There are also the president of the publishing house, the general manager and chairman of the audio-visual company, and the major shareholder of Hongguang Department Store. These are all great positions.

From this point of view, most of the time after Cao Zhiqiang traveled, he was relying on these abilities to integrate resources, and the time to actually write and write songs by using the system was actually very little.

Of course, that's the way it is said, but fundamentally, Cao Zhiqiang was able to get the opportunity to integrate those high-quality resources because of the system opening.

If Cao Zhiqiang's poems hadn't become famous in one fell swoop, and by mistake, he cooperated with the writer's publishing house to set up a secret sharing system, and he would have become a ten thousand yuan household early, and he would not have had the opportunity to frame Wei Dajun and whitewash the past.

And without that opportunity, Cao Zhiqiang would not be able to easily get rid of the past, wash away the black history of his predecessor, and seize the stick's pigtails, so as to repay the kindness and coerce Shazhu to introduce the big leader.

Even if he had the opportunity to introduce a great leader, if it wasn't for Cao Zhiqiang's ability to cheat and rely on his own strength to win the favor of the other party in front of the big leader, so that people would be willing to give him a chance to try, he would never have known him later. Uncle Wang, it is even more impossible to get the opportunity to start and contract a publishing house.

And later, if Cao Zhiqiang hadn't published his works through Hongguang Publishing House in a very short period of time, and obtained a huge amount of cash flow in a short period of time, it would have been impossible for Director Li to see the opportunity to lead the factory out of the predicament. Received strong support from Director Li and Secretary Dong.

Without the strong support of Director Li and Secretary Dong, Cao Zhiqiang's subsequent series of operations would not have been possible.

That's right, although the great leader, Uncle Xu, is very powerful, but when he met Cao Zhiqiang and appreciated him, he had already retreated to the second line and did not have much real power.

Uncle Xu just has a big face, well-connected, and is willing to provide opportunities for young people.

For example, the Hongguang Publishing House was not run by Uncle Xu, but he invited the real leader, Uncle Wang, to take care of these things based on his own face. Uncle Wang looked at Uncle Xu's face, and also recognized Cao Zhiqiang's talent and ability. , of course, there are special forms of the times, so we agreed to run a pilot project.

But even in that pilot project, it strictly followed the rules, letting Hongguang Machinery Factory take the lead in starting a state-owned publishing house, and then let Cao Zhiqiang contract it, not directly asking Cao Zhiqiang to start a private publishing house.

What Cao Zhiqiang did was actually relying on his talent and performance to take advantage of the loopholes in special times and with the support of big leaders. However, after taking advantage of the loopholes, whether he can continue depends on the real leaders in charge, not those who are superior. Great leadership.

Factory Director Li of Hongguang Machinery Factory is a leader who can manage now. If it were not for his strong support, all operations behind Cao Zhiqiang would not be possible. The reason why Factory Director Li can fully support Cao Zhiqiang is that Cao Zhiqiang can give him bring real benefits.

Therefore, Cao Zhiqiang has been busy, not writing poems, singing songs and cooking, but forming his own interest group, or forming his own small circle, but the premise of forming this small circle is the ability given to him by the system , and the characteristics of the times.

Now is the early stage of reform and the era of crossing the river by feeling the stones. Everything is possible and everything can be tried, so he has the opportunity to play like this.

If all the systems are settled, he won't be able to play with these.

It is precisely because of this that Cao Zhiqiang has always had a sense of urgency, like a wind-up clockwork, constantly running, busy, and there is really no time for rest.

It may be because of this that he is so lustful and has several women, which is actually different from his previous nature.

Although Cao Zhiqiang was able to envy the opening of a harem on the Internet in his previous life, it was actually very difficult for him to do so himself.

Only after coming here, as the situation changed and the pressure increased, did he slowly become more and more excited.

Possessing those beautiful women may not be love, let alone helplessness, it's just that he wants to find some comfort from those women and suppress his inner excitement and impetuosity.

But now he realizes that when it comes to decompression, having sex with those women might not be as effective as talking to this smart and talented girl, or simply walking and watching the sunset.

After calming down, Cao Zhiqiang realized that he suddenly didn't know what he was after.

Busy, busy, what exactly does he want?

If it was just to live a good and free life, he could have done it long ago, so why continue to be so busy?Even doing a lot of dangerous actions?

For the country and the people?Do you really have such a high awareness?
He doesn't know the answer yet, but he knows that he doesn't want to stop, and he can't stop, at least not yet.

"Forget it, why think so much?" Cao Zhiqiang suddenly sighed, "It's all over here, let's keep walking and watching."

Immediately afterwards, it seemed that the sky was dark and the street lights on the campus were on. Cao Zhiqiang stood up at once and turned to look at Xiang Dongfang: "Walk with me again?"

Xiang Dongfang was taken aback, stood up with a smile and said, "Okay, no problem, but..."

"But what?" Cao Zhiqiang asked.

"Don't you have anything to ask me?" Xiang Dongfang looked at Cao Zhiqiang, "Didn't you ask me to come out and ask me alone?"

Cao Zhiqiang chuckled: "I've finished asking you all I need to ask, and I've finished all I need to say."

Xiang Dongfang frowned: "Yes, but you, are you really not curious about my moving away?"

Cao Zhiqiang glanced at Xiang Dongfang and smiled slightly: "You are free, and you have your own reasons for what you want to do. Even if I am curious, how can I ask?

Of course, if you want to tell me, I am willing to listen, but are you willing to tell me, and are you willing to tell the truth? "

Xiang Dongfang watched Cao Zhiqiang open his mouth, and then suddenly laughed, very hard, he covered his belly and laughed, tears came out of laughter.

"What are you laughing at?" Cao Zhiqiang was stunned.

Xiang Dongfang kept laughing while covering his stomach with one hand, and waved Cao Zhiqiang with the other, which meant that she couldn't stop now, let her laugh for a while.

Seeing her like this, Cao Zhiqiang looked left and right subconsciously, and found that no one had seen it, so he looked at Xiang Dongfang helplessly, watching her continue to laugh like no one was there.

After a while, Xiang Dongfang finally stopped laughing, wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and then smiled softly at Cao Zhiqiang:

"Sorry, I'm laughing at the ridiculous people, those who can't see through you, don't know what you want at all, and think they understand you, understand you, but they are actually a bunch of stupid people, hahaha ,That's ridiculous."

After hearing what she said, Cao Zhiqiang became even more confused: "Nani? What are you talking about? Why can't I understand?"

Xiang Dongfang laughed, and suddenly, like a child, he jumped forward with his hands behind his back and said: "If you don't understand, think about it slowly, anyway, I won't tell you, at least not now!
When one day you really understand it and are willing to come to me again, it will not be too late for me to tell you.

Okay, let’s not talk about that, come on, let’s take a walk together, ah, I suddenly realized that walking in such an environment is really good, hehehe. "

Cao Zhiqiang scratched his head and murmured softly: "There is something wrong! What is it? Is it fun to play charades? I am not a riddle man! Forget it, geniuses are always different, so I don't bother to think about it, as long as everyone is happy .”

After finishing speaking, Cao Zhiqiang trotted to catch up with Xiang Dongfang: "Miss Dongfang, walk slowly, the road is slippery in the dark, be careful not to fall!"
