Crimson Dawn

One of the Communist Party's summary statements about itself is, "As long as there are problems in the party organization, the party's development will definitely encounter setbacks." Chen Ke thinks that is really a high-level trouble.After spending a lot of time and seizing every opportunity, I finally gathered a little popularity.Qi Huishen and Hua Xiongmao became key members. Although Zhou Yuanxiao has no clear position, he will never betray the current party organization.Chen Ke was very uncertain about You Gou's attitude.

You Gou is not a girl with a deep family background. Although she doesn't look happy, she can always see something from her face when she encounters things she cares about.After returning from home, Yougou's situation is not quite right.

Chen Ke and Qi Huishen went to Hezu Taoism together in the morning.The He family brothers are still building here, which made Chen Ke feel relieved.Both of them recovered very quickly. After one night, at least the abscesses that had been opened showed signs of dry scabs.He Zudao still felt very ashamed and didn't dare to talk to Chen Ke.He Zudao's elder brother is really a naughty one, he has already asked Chen Ke for special medicine with a face full of abscesses.Qi Huishen warned Chen Ke about these things on the road, but the two ignored them.Turn around and leave with the medicine box in hand.

When he returned to the workshop, Chen Ke was surprised to find that with Zhou Yuanxiao's help, You Gou started the comprehensive purification process of the medicine.The purification process is a very laborious task. In the absence of complete sets of equipment, two people are required to work together very carefully.Zhou Yuanxiao knows chemistry, so it's not a problem to help You Gou.But the two of them just started working in such a big way, Yougou took a stack of papers and clamped them to a thin wooden board with the big plastic clips he extorted from Chen Ke.The above is full of data.No matter how you look at it, it looks like you want to steal the parameters of the last frenzied experiment before parting ways.

When doing his job, You Gou worked harder than usual.When encountering jobs that she shouldn't be doing, now You Gou will rush to do them.Seeing You Gou's abnormal performance, the other comrades including Chen Ke just silently took over the work that should belong to them from You Gou, but didn't say much.Although You Gou was embarrassed, he didn't make any explanations or quibbles.In less than a day, the atmosphere in the workshop became very strange.

Chen Ke knew the reason for this atmosphere. In fact, Chen Ke missed this atmosphere quite a lot. He had done such things many times.This is because young people hope that they can get a lot of money, but they don't want their demands on the economy to damage the confidence of the organization.Such conflicting emotions naturally lead to behavioral distortions.

It is not just one person who is distorted, Hua Xiongmao is another kind of distortion.After following Chen Ke, Hua Xiongmao seldom acts alone.Yesterday Chen Ke reached an agreement with Wu Xingchen, and Hua Xiongmao came back very late that night.I ran out early the next morning.If Chen Ke's guess is correct, Hua Xiongmao is desperately looking for other partners.Wu Xingchen is not a small person in Shanghai Bund, and Hua Xiongmao is not unrelated in Shanghai Bund.Hua Xiongmao didn't want to be disadvantaged by Wu Xingchen, Chen Ke could fully understand.Around the special medicine, comrades have different performances according to their own positions.

There is a saying that "the subordinates are opposed to each other, which is conducive to the stability of the leader's position." When Chen Ke was young, he half understood this point of view.Now that he has become a "leader" himself, he realizes that what he thought made sense before now seems like bullshit.If things continue like this, Chen Ke firmly believes that the conflict will intensify soon.And Chen Ke's position will not be stable at all.

Everything that Chen Ke has painstakingly built up to now is based on selfless labor and fair, just and open distribution.If you start playing "divide and conquer" now, that is to tear down your own foundation yourself, that is to "suicide by hanging".When an organization or political system tends to become rigid, various conspiracies will emerge in large numbers.When an organization is full of vitality, it is "progressive" that should be pursued, not intrigues and intrigues.

Hua Xiongmao came back to the workshop in the evening. He was wearing a silk mandarin jacket today. After a day of running around, Hua Xiongmao was tired and thirsty. He just wanted to sit down on the recliner in the yard immediately and drink with the teapot in his arms. G.The gate of the courtyard was closed tightly, and the doornail wrapped with a red string was inserted into the gate on the left.This is Chen Ke's secret code to restore the "access control".What happened again?Hua Xiongmao became a little worried.According to the signal, he knocked on the door, which was soon opened by Qi Huishen.Contrary to what Hua Xiongmao thought, everyone was sitting around in the yard, and Chen Ke was joking, "It is said in the poem that a light Luo fan beats the fireflies. We are a plantain fan and a big fan to beat flies."

You Gou has something on his mind, Zhou Yuanxiao always doesn't like to say anything.On the other hand, Qi Hui, who was far away from opening the door, let out a deep chuckle.Seeing that everyone was assembled, Chen Ke stopped teasing.As usual, Chen Ke's words went straight to the point. "How do you plan to divide the money for selling medicine?"

No one said a word.

"You Gou, I know you want to ask me for a lot of money. How about you say it first?"

You Gou didn't expect that Chen Ke, who looked the same as usual, would say what she wanted to say first, You Gou's face turned red immediately, and she quickly explained: "Wen Qing, I don't want money myself."

"You just want to repay the money you spent on your parents over the years. I know it very well, and I completely understand your feelings." Chen Ke said in a very kind voice.

"Hmm..." You Gou lowered his head and hummed.After a while, You Gou raised his head again, "Brother Wen Qing, you worked so hard to make this medicine. No matter what, I will not sell your formula privately. I still want to share with Brother Wen Qing very much." We will work together in the future and start a business together. But..."

"But if you don't pay off the money owed to your parents, every time you hear them talk about money, you feel ashamed." Chen Ke continued.

"...Brother Wenqing, how do you know?" You Goudan's phoenix eyes almost turned into apricot eyes.

Chen Ke said with a wry smile. "I did the things you did back then. I know how to drive."

Seeing that You Gou was silent, Chen Ke continued to ask Hua Xiongmao, "Zheng Lan, I was just guessing, are you contacting Fujian for business?"

Hua Xiongmao didn't find it too surprising that there was a precedent of playing gou just now.He nodded, "Exactly. How did Brother Wenqing guess that?"

"This flower willow disease was contracted by foreign devils from South America, and then brought to China. With so many ports opened over the years, there must be more people infected in Fujian than in Shaoxing."

"Wen Qing is really smart..."

"Don't say it's useless, Zhenglan, what are you planning?"

"Shanghai can let Wu Xingchen do it, but outside of Shanghai, I will do it elsewhere."

Looking at the appearance of Hua Xiongmao, the manager of a large area, Chen Ke was amused. "You can't take it that big. Besides, Zheng Lan, you..., do you know the characteristics of this medicine? The shelf life? The effect? ​​How to use it? Do you know?"

Hua Xiongmao is not a fool either, although this time he was acting out of loyalty, but he already understood this on the way.Listening to Chen Ke's question: "What does Wen Qing mean?"

"Have you contacted the brothers in Fujian?" Chen Ke still remembers clearly that the Wenzhou businessman sold the cloth to Fujian last time.

"We've already got in touch. The brothers over there asked me to treat two of them." Hua Xiongmao said while suppressing his complacency as much as possible, "I haven't settled with them on the matter of money, it depends on what Wen Qing says. "

Chen Ke originally wanted Hua Xiongmao and Wu Xingchen to form a team together. There is a big difference between having one and not having one.Looking at it now, Hua Xiongmao must compete with Wu Xingchen, and this plan will definitely not be implemented.

"Then how much is Zheng Lan planning to ask for?"

"Like Yougou, I want a sum of money for my parents. I have decided to fight against the Wenqing Revolution. I will not go back to this family if I can. I feel guilty for not leaving a sum of money for my parents." Speaking of this, neither I don't know if it's Hua Xiongmao's good acting skills, or something else.Although he looked carefree, there was already an apology in his tone after speaking.

Chen Ke looked at Qi Huishen, and before Chen Ke could speak, Qi Huishen spoke by himself. "Wen Qing, I don't need to give my parents any money, but my father opposes my participation in the revolutionary cause, so this pocket is very tight. I only need 50 taels of silver a month."

These words were true, at least after Yougou heard it, there was some regret on his face.Chen Ke saw it very clearly, and he laughed secretly in his heart. After Chen Ke paid back the first sum of money to his parents, he had 20 yuan left in his pocket.When he paid back the money, he was full of spirits, and then the five yuan a week for food for a month, Chen Ke insisted on it.Thinking back to that era, it was really a time when it was so simple and cute.

Seeing Chen Ke staring at him, Zhou Yuanxiao took the initiative to speak, "First, I want a sum of money. Second, I can do some things like open factories with everyone, but I don't engage in wars or killing people. If Wen Qing thinks it's okay, I'll follow you."

"I know the conditions everyone put forward. I can accept it. You go back first and think about what you want, and then hold a meeting tomorrow morning. Everyone needs to discuss it openly. Everyone thinks it's okay Now, let's discuss how to cash it out. How?"

"Why tomorrow?" You Gou was a little surprised.

"Today everyone expressed their willingness to join the party, and now our party has been established. As the person who is talking about the matter now, I will tell you the first rule of our party: obey discipline and obey orders. So I ask everyone to go back and think clearly. , you go home and let me think about this matter clearly. The second rule, our party, is about democracy. It’s not me who has the final say, or you who have the final say. All things, if you can’t agree with everyone, It doesn’t matter who said it.”

After Chen Ke said these logically contradictory words, he looked at his comrades.Hua Xiongmao was the first to understand, or to be precise, the first to say after he understood, "Wen Qing, do you listen to this, or comrades?"

"All actions are subject to command, and we must obey the party." Chen Ke gave Hua Xiongmao an ambiguous answer, "The meeting is adjourned now. Huishen and I are going to treat He Zudao."

The so-called plan could not keep up with the changes, and the morning meeting the next morning was forced to end within 5 minutes.All the participating comrades reached the party's first resolution, "Take time to hold the next party meeting."

Wu Xingchen arrived at the workshop at five minutes to ten in the morning, and the workshop was already crowded with people.After He Zudao's condition improved, not only the revolutionary youths who had come to work admired Chen Ke and Yougou, but also the young people who hoped to come to learn from their teachers, and the young people who "asked for medicine for their relatives and friends" seemed to emerge from the ground. come the same.

Seeing so many people in the workshop, Wu Xingchen was really taken aback.Of course, Wu Xingchen's height and size also shocked the young people in the workshop.You Gou is wearing a suit today, and his long hair is tied back in a ponytail, hanging straight down.Seeing Wu Xingchen coming, You Gou greeted him generously. "Hello Brother Wu."

"Hello, Miss Yougou." Wu Xingchen replied, "Is Brother Chen there?"

You Gou took out his pocket watch from his pocket and looked at it, "Brother Wenqing has gone to Hezu Taoism, and he will be back soon."

The two walked out while talking, and when they left the courtyard, Wu Xingchen asked with a smile: "Where do these people come from?"

You Gou shrugged helplessly, "I don't know either. They're here anyway."

The two talked and laughed as they walked, and stopped at the intersection after a while.You Gou saw that there was no idler around him, so he said: "Brother Wenqing told me before going out to let Brother Wu wait for him here, and he will not return to the workshop today."

Wu Xingchen thought of the group of people in the courtyard, so he could understand Chen Ke's difficulties.He was about to have a few more words with You Gou, when You Gou smiled and said, "Brother Wen Qing is back, Brother Wu can just go there by himself." Wu Xingchen looked up and saw Chen Ke and Qi Huishen on the opposite street corner stand there.Turning to look at Yougou, she has already gone straight back to the workshop.If You Gou pointed in Chen Ke's direction, he was afraid that someone would see it and cause unnecessary trouble.That's why You Gou went back without saying a word.Such a woman is so capable in doing things, Chen Ke really has gathered a lot of talents around her.

While admiring secretly, Wu Xingchen smiled at Chen Ke.Chen Ke and Qi Huishen also looked at Wu Xingchen with a smile.In the next half minute, Wu Xingchen watched Qi Huishen's expression change from a smile to embarrassment.Three rickshaws stopped in front of Qi Huishen.Wu Xingchen's line of sight was blocked, so he couldn't see clearly what happened.Anyway, Chen Ke and Qi Huishen were not forced, but got into a rickshaw.The three cars disappeared at the corner of the street in a flash.This sudden change made Wu Xingchen feel quite strange.

The person who got on and off the rickshaw was Qi Huishen's father's housekeeper.The housekeeper was very polite, and after Qi Huishen gave a brief introduction, he said: "My master invited Mr. Chen Ke to my house to talk. This matter is rushed, and I hope Mr. Chen will forgive me."

"What about me?" Qi Huishen couldn't help asking.

"Master, the master said that Mr. Chen Ke is invited today. Master, would you like to go home with Mr. Chen? We have three cars, which are enough. If you don't want to see the master, you can do it yourself."

These words directly put Qi Huishen in the air. Chen Ke heard Qi Huishen and Hua Xiongmao talk about the power of Qi Huishen's family.And Qi Huishen told himself today that he went home last night and told his father that he wanted to open a hospital.Although it was too urgent to find the door at this time, Chen Ke couldn't just refuse him like that.Seeing Chen Ke got into the car, it was naturally impossible for Qi Huishen to let Chen Ke go to see his father alone.

Three cars were parked in front of a very stately house.The butler brought the two of them in, and the old man was waiting for Chen Ke in the living room.Qi Huishen's father's name was Qi Si'e, and his appearance was very common in Jiangsu and Zhejiang.Apart from the rather sharp eyes, there is nothing special about it.

After Chen Ke paid homage to the old man, everyone sat down as guest and host. "You," Qi Si'e pointed at his son, "you go to see your mother now." Qi Huishen didn't dare to stop talking, and obediently walked back.

After hearing this, Chen Ke remembered that Qi Huishen had already lived here for ten days.People from Yougou's house come to visit every day, but Qi Huishen is having a good time by himself.

"Mr. Chen Ke seems to be named Wenqing?" Qi Si'e asked casually.

"Uncle, that's exactly what it is."

"Wen Qing, my stupid son has finally made friends with someone who is willing to make money after all these years. Wen Qing, you are good at dyeing cloth and making medicine. Much better than my stupid son."

Chen Ke felt that there was no way to answer the old man's words, so he could only listen in silence.

The old man didn't want Chen Ke to answer, he took out a bank note, "My son has been doing nothing, he came back and said that he was going to open a hospital, and he wanted to set up a medical school. I happen to have something to do with it, the British want to Ask me to pay for a hospital. You are ruthless, and you are going to do it. So I want to invite Wen Qing to come over and explain this matter. This is a silver ticket for five thousand eagles. I can only give so much. You guys It doesn't matter if you do well or badly, I finally paid for it, and I have an explanation."

When he said this, Qi Si'e seemed to be careless, but his eyes glanced sharply at Chen Ke's face several times.After he finished speaking, Chen Ke smiled and said, "Uncle Qi, do you think I'm a liar?"

Hearing this, Qi Hui laughed deeply, "Although my son is not up to snuff, he always does not do his job properly, but the person he can recommend strongly will definitely not be a liar. If you really encounter liars, throw them in a bundle in Huangpu It’s fine in the river, and you don’t have to worry about seeing people. Wen Qing, I know a few people in Shanghai anyway, Wen Qing doesn’t have to be afraid that someone will make things difficult for your hospital. It’s just that Wen Qing has to meet the British in person.” Speaking of Here, Qi Si'e handed the bank note to Chen Ke, "I don't know anything about running a hospital, and I have to trouble Wen Qing to find the British. As long as the British agree, they will sign the bank note and save money." things can be done.”

After hearing this, Chen Ke understood that Qi Si'e gave himself a bank note, and wanted to deal with the British by himself.Which one is this?The style of the Qi family is really quite different.Chen Ke was worried, and asked Qi Si'e again, Qi Si'e said that Chen Ke's understanding was correct.He had already negotiated this matter with the British, but he wanted to start the formalities in the next few days.When Qi Huishen came to say this suddenly last night, Qi Si'e called Chen Ke over and asked Chen Ke to handle the matter.

The rickshaw driver was fairly strong, and his running speed was not slow.Qi Huishen and Chen Ke were in the same car, and Chen Kehui thought of what happened just now and found it very interesting.

When Qi Si'e proposed such an opportunity, offering money and connections, Chen Ke didn't think there was any other reason to refuse except that it was a huge trap.Qi Si'e ignored Chen Ke and asked the housekeeper to call Qi Huishen over.As soon as Qi Huishen arrived at the living room, Qi Si'e asked the housekeeper to take the two of them to meet the British and settle the matter as soon as possible.After that, Qi Si'e didn't invite Chen Ke for lunch, so Qi Si'e kicked the two young people out.

"It will be deep, your father is very resolute in doing the facts." Chen Ke really couldn't find any other adjectives.

"That's because as long as I don't go to revolution, my father will support whatever I do." Qi Huishen gave the correct answer.
