Rebirth of the Powerful

Chapter 62

He took a puff of smoke and sighed: "When others are still busy working on cars, houses, and seats, and running for officials, he has chosen to be a modern hermit, reading and writing every day, and not caring about worldly affairs. He never Ask for help, don’t go through the back door, he does things not for money, not for power, but only for his own conscience, pursuing self-realization and freedom of mind.”

He Shiyun was used to his hippie smile, she had never seen him so gloomy as today, she didn't know what to say for a while.

His lonely and desolate appearance is too inconsistent with his age, He Shiyun comforted: "His personality...is pretty good."

"So, in the eyes of others, the most normal things, such as giving gifts and flattering, let my dad do it, but it's like roasting him on the fire."

He Shiyun understood what he meant, but she still didn't understand how she could help Xia Jindong.

"I want him to get in touch with your dad. To put it bluntly, it's to say goodbye to your dad's dock. But, I need a reason, and we need the cooperation of the two of us to be a bridge of communication."

He Shiyun nodded heavily.

After the arrangement was made, Xia Xiaoluo returned home. After Xia Jindong got off work, Xia Xiaoluo said, "Dad, I have something to do and I need you to come forward."

Xia Jindong asked while changing his slippers, "What's the matter?"

"Actually, the reason why I got such good grades in the senior high school entrance examination is all thanks to He Shiyun's help. She has tutored me for half a year, just like a tutor. Now that your son is promising, why don't we thank him and express it?"

Xia Xiaoluo said in a somewhat joking tone.

"Oh, it's true, she was not invited to the teacher's thank you banquet at that time!" Xia Jindong slapped his head and suddenly realized. "Why don't we buy some gifts and go to someone's house?"

Xia Xiaoluo couldn't help but smile, thinking, before she could explain, her father had already gone on the road.

After the meal, the family of three went to the department store to buy some popular malted milk, canned fruit and other gifts.

Xia Xiaoluo felt that this little gift was still a bit flimsy, so she went to the health care product counter and bought two boxes of "Leon One", which was the most popular at that time.

The health care product counter was crowded with people and customers. Xia Xiaoluo thought, before she was reborn, she learned from the case study of the company that around 1992 was the year when the health care product industry rose. Unexpectedly, in 1990, health care products had already become popular.

This is an out-and-out big piece of fat. This business opportunity cannot be missed. After the "Panpan" project is completed, see if there is any opportunity to transfer to the health care product industry.

Two sets of "Leon No. 50" cost more than [-] yuan, less than half a month's salary, which made Xia Jindong and his wife quite distressed.

However, Xia Xiaoluo paid the money, and the two of them looked at each other in dismay for a while, not knowing how to deal with this situation.

With the addition of Leon No. [-], both the taste and scale of the gifts have been raised to a higher level, making them more presentable.

Xia Xiaoluo led the two of them to the county government compound, and walked straight inside. Xia Jindong held his son's arm and said, "What? His father is in the county government compound?"

Xia Xiaoluo said: "Yes, but I heard that He Shiyun said that her father is just an ordinary clerk, we don't need to look at people with colored glasses, right? The people in the current government compound are not human anymore? They don't have emotions and desires Already? Our thanks go to He Shiyun."

Xu Xiaoman said sullenly to her husband: "Look at you, what are you afraid of? We are here to thank people, not to murder and set fire!"

Xia Jindong scratched his head and followed Xia Xiaoluo in.

The guard Lu Gouyong looked at the family of three with a strange look, without asking any questions, his eyes flicked on the gift and then retracted, and then he lowered his head to read the newspaper.

Xia Xiaoluo walked in front of He Shiyun's single-family villa, and was about to rush in, when suddenly the lights in the yard came on, and Xia Xiaoluo took her parents to hide in a dark place.

After a while, the iron door opened, and a man in a white shirt and a woman in a dress stepped out.

A middle-aged woman's voice sounded: "Major Qian, Lao He will definitely consider your job transfer, but gifts are absolutely unacceptable. Don't do this next time."

"Oh, I remember, the old leader has been promoting and nurturing me, I have not thanked, I am ashamed." The man in the white shirt nodded and bowed.

Xia Xiaoluo was quite familiar with this voice, and upon closer inspection, it turned out that the man was Qian Xuewen, deputy mayor of Changhe Township, who had just been stepped on by Xia Ergou a few days ago.

"Don't say that, your promotion and transfer in the past few years have all gone through organizational procedures and cannot be credited to Lao He." He Shiyun's mother smiled kindly, and grabbed the iron gate with her right hand to close it. "It's getting late, Jiangchun is in the city, you are in the country, it's not easy for you to meet each other, so please accompany Jiangchun."

The woman named "Jiang Lip" was obviously Qian Xuewen's wife. She giggled and said, "Sister Gu's words are so heartwarming. I'm really moved to hear you say that. Then... we won't bother you."

He Mu said: "It's really hard work for you to be the vice principal of No. [-] High School, and it's not easy."

Xia Xiaoluo thought, hey, it turns out that this woman is the vice principal of Luoshui No. [-] High School, a little girl, she is quite pretty.

Mother He closed the door.The two walked towards the main road. Although the lights were dim, the woman named "Crimson Lips" had a graceful figure.

With a dark face, she said: "What a coward! You can't even give a gift."

Seeing that his wife was upset, Qian Xuewen quickly apologized and said, "Lao He is different from Secretary Lu. He never accepts gifts. Anyway, other Secretary Lu and several county leaders have accepted gifts. When the time comes, the standing committee will discuss the gift." It’s time, and it’s almost over.”

Xia Xiaoluo admired He Jingsheng's style of work very much. In the officialdom, the word "greedy" is the most taboo. It is undeniable that there are a group of officials in Huaxia officialdom who are promoted by offering bribes.

But there are also a group of clean and honest forces who hate evil like an enemy and regard corruption as a persistent disease. Obviously, He Jingsheng is such a person.

It is very unprofessional to be an official who wants to make money in terms of profit in business and power in government. More importantly, as long as there is corruption, there must be loopholes. People stare at it, and it is easy to be brought down.

Listening to the discussion between the two, Xia Xiaoluo thought, maybe Dad and He Jingsheng hit it off.

"Old He has never been optimistic about you, and his words have weight!" Jiang Lip said a little worriedly: "Is it because the courtesy is too light, so I took three boxes of Li'ang No. [-]?"

"That's not the problem..." Qian Xuewen said.

The two discussed the issue in a low voice and walked away...

As soon as Xia Xiaoluo pulled her parents' arms, the two of them didn't have a chance to hesitate, and Xiao Luo pushed them down the door.

Xiao Luo knocked on the door, and a rather rich woman opened the door. Her appearance was somewhat similar to He Shiyun. Seeing that the Xia couple were holding gifts in their hands, she frowned and asked, "Who are you?"

Before Xia's parents could speak, Xia Xiaoluo smiled and said, "I'm He Shiyun's classmate Xia Xiaoluo. She tutored me for a semester before I was admitted to Luoshui No. [-] High School. My parents said that they should thank you very much." he."

Xia Jindong smiled and nodded in agreement.

Upon hearing this, Mother He laughed and said, "Oh, it's you, please come in!" She turned sideways and let the family into the yard.

When Xia Jindong looked at the layout of the courtyard, a trace of envy appeared on his face, but it was fleeting.

Mother He gave up her seat to the three of them, brewed three cups of tea deftly, and said, "He's upstairs, I'll call him."

This is definitely an antique study room, so delicate that it can be called elegant. In the late Southern Song Dynasty, Zhao Xihu's "Dongtian Qinglu Collection" contained ten items of the study room: Guqin, ancient inkstone, ancient bell and tripod, strange stone, inkstone screen, The brush strokes, water droplets, ancient calligraphy and ink notes, ancient and modern stone carvings, and ancient paintings are all arranged in this study. Although many of them are imitation handicrafts and the price is not expensive, they are arranged very neatly, showing the profound cultural connotation of the owner of the study.

A large army green tea mug was placed on the table, and some of the enamel had peeled off, making it look a little awkward.

A word hangs in the middle, very imposing. It reads: "An unbearable thought is the root of life and people's life; a period of integrity that is not done is a pillar that supports the sky and the earth. Therefore, a gentleman can't bear an insect or an ant." Disabled, don't allow greedy wisps and strands, they can establish life for all things and establish hearts for heaven and earth." The brushwork is extremely chic and dripping.

He Jingsheng was splashing ink on Huzhou rice paper. In front of him was a copybook of Yan Zhenqing's "Draft for Nephew", known as the "Second Running Script in the World". Angry and majestic, the momentum is amazing.

He Shiyun, who is wearing a pink dress, is like a jade figure carved from jade, but she has restrained her usual lively personality, holding a medium-sized writing brush, and is seriously facing the post, but the paper she uses is much worse, but It is very common yellow papyrus.

He Jingsheng's brushstrokes are vigorous and free, and he said: "Huaxia paintings emphasize 'thickness and density'. There are mountains and mountains in the dense places, thick ink and color, thick and concise; there is no stroke in the sparse places, but there are infinite scenery. If you don't paint people, you can only see music. The path leads to a secluded place, but without painting water, there are vast waves, leaving people with a broad space for imagination. This is a perfect combination. 'mainly; however, some basic work should be 'dense', solid and airtight, and should be based on "receiving", and it should be done - dense and dense, combined with retraction and release."

Relying on her young age, Xia Xiaoluo didn't fully follow the etiquette, and walked to the door of the study with He's mother, Gu Ying, but He's mother didn't go in, but stood with Xia Xiaoluo at the door and waited. The He family's parents focused on Calligraphy, not found noticed the door.

At this time, Xia Xiaoluo opened his mouth and said: "In calligraphy theory, there is an aesthetic concept of 'sparse strokes allow horses to walk, but dense places do not allow ventilation'. Sparse places can allow horses to gallop, and dense places can't even let the wind pass through." In the past, that’s what it meant, right?”

Xia Xiaoluo thought back to his life before he was reborn. He had achieved nothing and was very embarrassed. The reason was that he was ignorant. Although he majored in finance, which was quite popular, his interest was in economic history. Entrepreneur biographies, and then fantasize about what if they...

Therefore, after being reborn, he studied harder. Xia Xiaoluo knew that although the 90s was the era of reckless heroes, in the 21st century, the knowledge economy will dominate the mainstream.

Therefore, he is not limited to textbook knowledge, he reads all kinds of books. These few words were written on a calligraphy appreciation he saw in the bookstore a few days ago.
