Jiang Hongshao didn't show up for the next two days, which made Cheng Ran suspect that she came here just to humiliate them. Maybe the things they said that shouldn't have been said had annoyed this seemingly cheerful but actually traditional girl. Her last sentence "I won't bear grudges" sounded like "I will bear grudges, I remember"... But Cheng Ran felt a little wronged. Why were you eavesdropping on the boys' conversation? Besides, most of them were compliments to you. Why did you only listen to the bad things and not the good ones
Yu Xiao felt lost. In layman's terms, it was like winning 5 million and calculating how to spend it, but waking up to find it was just a dream. He thought he could really spend some time alone with a school beauty like Jiang Hongshao every day, as if... during that time, she belonged only to them. But in the end, the girl was probably just interested in seeing if they were doing anything bad, and then she lost interest.
This Friday, they went to the rehearsal hall again because of a sensation. They found that Jiang Hongshao was playing a kind of harp on the stage. There were a lot of people below. Someone called out the name of the instrument, konghou. Generally speaking, solo harp music is not as impactful as dancing and singing, but Jiang Hongshao played konghou with a different flavor. It has the charm of guzheng and guqin, but it is more ethereal and clear than guzheng, like a spring in a snowy mountain.
In addition, she is very pretty, and many people thought that this was the first time this beautiful girl showed her talent, but she was unexpectedly stunning. It has made people look forward to the art performance even more.
But Yu Xiao and Cheng Ran, who watched the whole scene, felt that Jiang Hongshao seemed even more distant, and could not tell whether her appearance in the bulletin board area that day was an illusion or not. It was like spring flowers, snow and moon, but just a bubble in the mirror.
Cheng Ran was fine. It was normal for a girl like Jiang Hongshao to be unpredictable. Seeing the enthusiastic applause and the light in people's eyes after her rehearsal, she was just low-key and unwilling to show off. In fact, there were a lot of people around her who wanted to establish contact with her and get close to her. Not to mention Liu Ying, whose whole family cooperated in the acting, even Sun Jichao and others who came to the government compound at the poetry meeting that day, didn't they try to get close to her in various ways
As for the idea that this time belongs only to them, it is just one-sided wishful thinking.
When he got home, Xu Lan was cooking. Cheng Ran went into his room, took out a notebook, and silently made a summary of this period of time.
In fact, only a week had passed since his rebirth, but by this time, he should have completed a quarter of his review progress. Judging from the current situation, it was going better than expected.
As a young man, he had more physical energy than he could imagine. Through this period of review, he became more and more confident. He had previously thought about not being too exaggerated, but on second thought, he did not need to seek perfection or be the first in the school. He just wanted to see what kind of results he could get in junior high school with the instinctive buff of high school and college knowledge, plus the power of English after work, and after more than a month of review after his rebirth.
He flipped the pages backwards, and on the last few pages, there were some handwriting, which was where he recorded some things he remembered, such as the names of those "eliminated". He made some marks and scribbled on the direction of some events, recording them with only the pictures or symbols he could understand.
He began to have another guess, for example, these people did not actually disappear, but were cut off from his information connection and were living somewhere else
When people cannot accept bad news, they always come up with some reasons to mourn or vent their emotions, the most typical of which is the existence of heaven after death. Cheng Ran is the same. Such speculation and possibility is also a direction. After all, although the world is so big, he understands that with the inevitable arrival of the information age, the world will become smaller and smaller. What if there are always some things that will make people meet again
Thinking of this, I feel hopeful...
Those who are lost...
I hope we can meet again in the tide of the times...
It was not until 7 or 8 o'clock that Cheng Feiyang came home, his face full of fatigue. Xu Lan reheated the dishes, but Cheng Ran had already eaten first under Xu Lan's urging, and was driven into the room.
But Cheng Ran still pricked up his ears and listened to the conversation between the two people in the restaurant.
During this period, the company's turmoil became more and more intense, and Cheng Feiyang often had to work overtime. Cheng Ran knew that his father was fighting a battle. At the end of this battle, all the evildoers on all sides jumped out. The company was about to collapse, and most of them were laid off with severance pay. Some voices emerged, saying that Cheng Feiyang wanted to establish an independent technology institute, so why could he be independent? This was also everyone's asset. Since an independent joint-stock company was to be established, all employees of the company had to hold shares, and a board of directors had to be established to supervise Cheng Feiyang.
The representative of these people is Zhao Pingchuan. They usually don't work in the company, but just take a salary. In the end, they hope to get the most when the company is divided. When they see that you might start an independent company, they think of an excuse to join in. They don't really think that you can do something and they can't get on board. They just want to see you open a new breakthrough and feel that they are not getting the upper hand.
But if this matter is blown up, there will be no regrets, and this is even what they secretly hope to happen. The company is about to collapse, and everyone will go their separate ways and divide their luggage. You don't want the luggage now, and want to exchange it for some belongings and start a new business. That won't work!
Then everyone has to eat at your stove, so why don't you let the company go bankrupt? You want to show off your ability by propping up a piece of land with a pole, right? Then you have to take care of everyone's rice bowl.
That's why Cheng Feiyang slammed the table and yelled at the meeting today, and even almost got into a fight with Zhao Pingchuan. It is said that Zhao Pingchuan was jumping up and down, and pushed Cheng Feiyang a lot, but Cheng Feiyang threw him three meters away with just one hand. Only then did he realize the gap in physical fitness between him and Cheng Feiyang, who had been a soldier, and he backed down.
But the problem is still difficult to solve, and Zhao Pingchuan is a villain who can't stand up to you in person, and will only play tricks behind your back, mobilizing everyone to oppose Cheng Feiyang's independent technical institute, and even wrote a letter to the head office to report, making all kinds of arrangements to discredit Cheng Feiyang. The director of the branch company couldn't take responsibility and dared to ignore the opinions of the majority. Although in theory, the old equipment of the technical institute is not worth much money, it can be regarded as buying out the seniority and going out independently, and it can even save a lot of cash for the company. But under the opposition of many people, even if the reason is good, the director dare not force the decision, and there is no telling how much mess will be after this.
This puts him in a dilemma. Cheng Ran knows that this factor also influenced his father in his previous life.
He pretended to go get some water and opened the door. When he passed by the two of them, he said, "Dad... Some people are just afraid that you can do something, which would prove their incompetence! I support you. You can do it."
Having said that, without waiting for Cheng Feiyang to bring out the "what do kids know" theory, he went back to the room and closed the door.
Cheng Feiyang said that to Cheng Ran verbally, but these words really touched his heart.
Cheng Ran closed the door and leaned against the wall, listening to the noise outside.
Xu Lan said, "I think my son is right... these people are just incompetent!"
Cheng Feiyang sighed and said, "Why did I want to lead the group of people in the institute to come out on my own... I just didn't want to give up. When the company was in the early days, I wanted to be an agent for programmable computers. I said that although the agency seemed to have high profits, the lifeline was in the hands of others, and we had to have our own innovations... As a result, at that time, we lost a big opportunity. The road of agency became narrower and narrower, while those who dared to do their own research and development later broke out a new path and achieved excellent results. Private individuals made a lot of money. Later, the higher-ups became jealous and immediately paid attention to research and development. We came up with something. Although we copied others at that time, we still got some benefits... But when the market changed again, that group of people planned to stick to the same path to the end. I have raised the issue of changing direction no less than ten times, but now the company has determined that it is no longer viable, and they have not come to their senses..."
"I think I have missed many opportunities... This time, this opportunity cannot be missed..." Cheng Feiyang said, "If I miss it, I may regret it for the rest of my life..."
Cheng Ran knew why Cheng Feiyang wanted to do it on his own; it was because of the feeling of unwillingness and injustice in his heart.
In the end, my father still had a loyal temperament. He had seen the future with his rich experience. At that time, other companies also tried to recruit him, but he was unwilling to leave because he was loyal to this company. He still stubbornly tried to save it... No matter how earnest the voice is, it can't wake up a person who is used to enjoying himself and willing to sleep without making progress. But over the years, the resentment accumulated in his heart has become a trend. He wants to see if his ideas and vision are right.
However, people who do things always face endless obstacles.
In his previous life, his father ultimately failed to verify his vision, and following the tide of layoffs, he found a job in a related unit. Since then, he seemed to have been smoothed over, and his loyal character was brought to the extreme. He even became complacent and never made any further progress until he finally retired at an old age... It's sad and lamentable.
The high-spirited technical institute back then, those subordinates who were willing to follow him to carve out a new world for themselves, in that exciting era, they were very likely to seize the opportunity to ride on the wind and create this compound, or even this city, an opportunity that no one dared to achieve. However, with the changing times, they were weathered in the old years.
Only those obsolete antique equipment tell of the fleeting glory of the past.
