Three years.
After receiving the National Science and Technology Progress Award, Lu Yong's company's industry has grown by leaps and bounds. Shen Wenqiu's investigation and suggestion, they acquired several small companies and carried out a strategic integration of the waste battery cobalt product industry chain. It also cooperates with several government agencies and large enterprises to build a mineral recycling industry line with core industries such as electronic waste, recycling of scrapped cars and scrap steel, recycling of rare metal industrial waste, and recycling of scrap metal. 1
The company's net profit increased by one-third in the second year, and doubled in the third year. By this year, the financial statement alone has quadrupled compared to the year when Shen Wenqiu came. The gap, the net profit of the head office this year is 300 million.
It can be said that the performance has taken off.
After ten years of accumulation, Lu Yong has accumulated a lot of knowledge, and in just a few years, he has rushed from the top of the industry to the leader in one breath, and he is a well-deserved leader. Last year, the chief executive retired to prepare for the rest of his life and stop working hard. After a re-election, Lu Yong was directly elected as the new chief executive of the new Huaguo Waste Energy Recycling Association with an overwhelming number of votes.
He himself has won a lot of various awards in the past two years, and he has been selected as one of the best. His alma mater of high school and the government of the country all use him as a model for publicity.
His university alma mater also invited him to be an honorary professor and participate in activities. If he is free, it would be good to hold a session or two for the students.
Lu Yong readily agreed, he would be happy to give lectures, and it would be a good thing if he could coax a few more juniors to join in this industry. His only worry is that his speech is too boring, which seems boring and tiring, and instead discourages other aspiring young people.
In the end, Shen Wenqiu wrote the manuscript, and Shen Wenqiu specially added several jokes for him. Lu Yong finished reading it solemnly, making everyone laugh, and he himself passed a few sentences unresponsively. When he realized it, he stopped and couldn't help laughing, so the students below laughed again.
Lu Yong also explained to them in a friendly voice: "I wrote this manuscript secretly, because what I wrote is very boring. I don't want to bore you. I have read it many times before. , but I didn’t find that the original paragraph was funny.”
Shen Wenqiu sat in the first row facing him, almost dying of laughter, and took the lead in applauding him.
They went to give speeches for several times, the effect was very good, and there were no empty seats. Shen Wenqiu felt that it was because Lu Yong spoke well, and Lu Yong felt that it was all due to Shen Wenqiu's compact and interesting manuscript. As a result, the campus recruitment in the past two years has been smoother than in previous years, and many good seedlings have been recruited, but Teacher Ding is very happy.
Now the two people have a clear division of labor in the company.
Shen Wenqiu has completely taken over. He will manage the company's finances, keep an eye on national policies and trends, contact major companies, expand business, and expand the scope of customers. In terms of things, Shen Wenqiu's brains are comparable Lu Yong, who studies brains, is much better.
In this way, Lu Yong allocated more time to focus on scientific research and participate in various activities. Lu Yong often felt that if Shen Wenqiu hadn't been there, even if he was able to fly at some point in time, he probably would have been able to fly.
In fact, he prefers to keep his head down. He never thought of taking the initiative to apply for awards before. He wanted to run the company steadily. He felt that the time came and he thought he was not qualified. It was precisely because of Shen Wenqiu's arrival that he was urged to his further plans.
Shen Wenqiu, as the vice president, did a good job, and Lu Yong gave him dividends and shares with the normal preferred treatment in the industry—this was given by Lu Yong after careful consideration, and it seemed to be paid according to ordinary conditions. Enough, if you give too much, it seems that Shen Wenqiu's labor will not be respected, but it will make him seem to be relying on others.
Shen Wenqiu now feels unimaginable when he thinks about himself four years ago. At that time, he was dying, owed more than 100 million yuan, and didn't want to pay it back. When Yong first hired him, he had an assistant salary of 4,000 to 5,000 a month, and he didn't think at all that he could pay off all his debts by working in his life.
But now, in fact, even if Lu Yong didn't help him pay it back, he seems to be able to pay it back after working for more than ten years.
He even paid off most of the debt left by his father. It was like a dream, everything seemed so unbelievable.
This year is the 100th anniversary of their alma mater in high school.
The school contacted Lu Yong and invited Lu Yong as a successful alumnus to participate in the school's celebration activities, accept interviews from the school newspaper, and then tell the children something to encourage them to study for the college entrance examination.

Lu Yong happily said to Shen Wenqiu: "We can just go there."
Shen Wenqiu nodded. In fact, he still had a lot of anxiety in his heart. His life had ups and downs, and now he is barely doing a good job, but there are also many black stories. In those two years, he went to the police station like everyone else. If you go astray, you will be restored after all calamities.
Speaking of which, Shen Wenqiu and Officer Zhang, the policeman who often arrested him at that time, are still friends. We contact each other occasionally to know that he is working hard now and no longer gambling, and he is very happy for him.
Every detail of life is worth being grateful for.
He was arrested so many times because he was lying and being a rascal. Police officer Zhang patiently persuaded him again and again, and even tried to help him find a job. When he said that he still had a serious friend, Zhang The police officer didn't laugh at him for despising him, and immediately helped him contact Lu Yong, and took the trouble to introduce the situation to Lu Yong.
He was released on bail before that, thanks to Officer Zhang.
Think about it, he gave the phone number at the beginning to cause confusion, Shen Wenqiu felt ashamed, Shen Wenqiu even invited him to dinner twice when he went there.
Officer Zhang told him two stories about his gamblers. In three years, two of them died, one died suddenly at home, and the other died in a rented house for more than a week. The corpses stink. After being discovered, there is another one who is addicted to drugs/addiction, pornography/gambling and drug separation, and there are seven or eight others who are missing and do not know where they are or whether they are dead or alive. .
Shen Wenqiu didn't contact that person again, and there were a few gamblers who wanted to contact him, although he didn't know why, and even came out to stalk him.
When encountering such a thing, Shen Wenqiu went to look for Lu Yong, and mentioned it to Lu Yong worriedly, and Lu Yong always answered something like this lightly: "Yes, I see. I sent someone to come and talk to them."
Lu Yong didn't take it as a big deal.
Who is Lu Yong? He handles everything properly and quietly.
Once he knew about it, that person would disappear silently and never appear in Shen Wenqiu's life again. Shen Wenqiu didn't hide it from him, it was better to leave it to Lu Yong.
national day.
The two went to an alma mater together to participate in the school celebrations, but it was Lu Yong who took the invitation letter, and Shen Wenqiu was shy to come forward, and planned to expose that he was also a graduate, or was it? While working as an assistant, Lu Yong tried to keep a low profile and reduce his sense of presence.
They have not been to their alma mater for more than ten years.
The alma mater has changed a lot from what they remember. New teaching buildings and science and technology buildings have been built, and indoor gymnasiums have been built. There are more students and classes, and so on. The teaching building they used before is obviously old enough, but it is still used by students, and it is not time to demolish it.
Lu Yong and Shen Wenqiu arrived early the first time, and they were free recently, so they moved two days earlier, and the activity hadn't started yet, so they planned to visit the school first.
The students were in class, and the sound of reading was heard from the windows.
Shen Wenqiu had the illusion of dreaming about his school days during the day.
This small road has not changed, as before, they have walked side by side countless times, talking and laughing while walking, and Lu Yong talked with him about future dreams many times during this time.
Shen Wenqiu looked around and felt that there was no one around, and it was a quiet place covered by vegetation, so he secretly took the initiative to hold Lu Yong's hand.
It is said that the two have been friends for more than three years, and they have done all kinds of shameless things, but Lu Yong's ears are still red because of such a pure holding hands.
Lu Yong asked: "Are you afraid of being seen by others?"
Shen Wenqiu said: "Just gently hold you for a while... I always want to hold you when I'm high..."
Both slowed down.
Enjoying the warmth of each other's palms, they were sweating and sticky together, and their fingertips became numb.
After more than ten years, their invisible secret love for each other has finally blossomed and borne fruit, and they can be a loving lover.
The light shines through the gaps in the leaves and falls on them in mottled patterns.
When they reached the place where the sun was setting straight and the view was unobstructed, they let go of their hands.
Go to the classroom where they used to study.
On the fifth floor, the floor tiles and stairs are full of age. The stairs are inlaid with non-slip metal strips, and the words built in 2000 are engraved on the back. When they read it, it was still the latest, and it has been a long time now. up.
The students were in class, and it just so happened that they just walked in the door.
Shen Wenqiu said in a low voice, "We'll come back after school. I want to sit where we were before."
Lu Yong said, "Okay."
As soon as the voice fell, the get out of class bell rang suddenly.
The two of them didn't intend to meet so many students head-on, so they turned away and walked halfway.
A young woman with glasses, gray hair coiled up, and serious face approached. A student ran over, raised eyebrows, and lectured loudly: "How many times have I said this! You have to go to the corridor!" running in and out!"
Then, when the two sides saw each other, they both slowed down involuntarily, staring at their faces and frowning slowly.
Shen Wenqiu said hesitantly: "... Hello, Master Dong?"
Lu Yong said more firmly: "Mr. Dong, long time no see."
He was their mathematics teacher and head teacher in their high school days. What a coincidence.
Master Dong was stunned for a moment, and smiled amiably like an iceberg melting, and asked in surprise, "Lu Yong? Shen Wenqiu?"
"Are you guys here? Why are you so early? Just right, let's go to my office and I'll make you two cups of tea."
