During the summer vacation, after the provincial champion Zhang Bang came out, Cheng Ran called Tan Qingchuan, the former head teacher of Shanhai.

I heard that Tan Qingchuan defeated Wang Qi, and he was quite famous in the grade, and became the first brother in the third grade of high school.

But this "Brother Tan Yi" in the Shanhai teaching circle, in the face of the phone call of the former student of his own and now a provincial champion who is a serious child, he was slightly cramped on the other end of the phone while excited, and even sometimes he was embarrassed to find a topic and only politely asked for warmth.

In fact, it is understandable, in the face of a provincial champion who has never been seen in his previous teaching career, Tan Qingchuan is also the first time, and all the first times also mean that there is no experience, will be nervous and restrained, and the majesty of the previous teacher cannot be put out.

Looking back on the things in the mountains and seas, it is very exciting, Tan Qingchuan mentioned that several people who transferred from No. 1 Middle School to No. 10 Middle School, Jiang Hongshao, Cheng Ran, and Yang Xia, are all very good. Yang Xia was admitted to Tsinghua University, and Jiang Hongshao also had various news that she went to University College London to study for preparatory studies.

Tan Qingchuan said that it is said that during the discussion, some people proposed that the three of them be made "warmly celebrate the former student of our school who won the provincial champion in Tsinghua University" The principal said that although he used to be our student, after all, he had gone to other schools and accepted the training of others, what is the difference between this and rubbing the honor of others, although there is no shortage of schools that put gold on their faces, but it has always been that the first middle school of Shanhai has its own backbone, besides, this school is not without students to Tsinghua University.

Shanhai No. 1 Middle School is a Tsinghua University and a Peking University this year, and Song Shiqiu, who went to Tsinghua University, scored 659 points in science, exceeding the admission score of 655 in Tsinghua Sichuan Province, and was admitted to the Department of Bioengineering of Tsinghua University. It has become the content of the red list banner hung in Shanhai No. 1 Middle School.

"It's him, old rival. Cheng Ran smiled when he learned about this from Tan Qingchuan.

"In comparison, your 703 points are proud of the whole province, or your top ten...... You're still amazing. Tan Qingchuan sighed.

"But you...... Why did you choose Central South University of Science and Technology......

The news has spread and even made the news. As the champion of science in Sichuan Province, whether this act is rational or irrational has set off a lot of controversy and discussion in the outside world, there are all kinds of things, some express support, some think that the major is more important than the school, and some people say that this may be a matter of vision, some children from rural families, you have no way to ask them to see things farther, and they do not realize the importance of the circle.

Cheng Ranjia did not accept an interview, but fortunately, in this era, the main reporting media in Rongcheng have Cheng Feiyang greeted him through the relationship, and they did not dig deep into the family background of this provincial champion, and at the same time, the outside world quoted this news, which is basically referring to the reports of major local media, which is a form of forwarding. If it is in the future generations of the national self-media, Cheng Ran's family may dig out more details.

Cheng Ran said, "I still remember when I transferred to No. 10 Middle School, you gave me a sentence. You said that reading should be aimed at sages, not disciples. One day from the career, wear a crown, negative epaulettes. If you want to keep your family and country in your heart, you don't care about being cold. This sentence...... I've always remembered it. ”

Tan Qingchuan's voice was over there for a long time, and he responded slightly choked, "It's good if you remember, just remember...... Remember these, wherever you go, it's all the same. Alas......"

In fact, no one would know that this teacher, who has been teaching in a small city all his life, will have red eyes in the corner because the former student of the provincial champion still remembers the words of the teacher who came to thank him on the phone.

......

During the holiday, the Blue Dot team is still carrying the sharp drop in the U.S. stock market, Cheng Ran will occasionally go over to express his concern, although he has sold off the Blue Dot shares in his hand, but 80% of the Blue Dot reserves and business for the winter are all supported by Fulong, so Cheng Ran is not an outsider. On the one hand, it is the emotion of Cheng Ran's luck to cash out of the Nasdaq crash very early, and on the other hand, everyone can also see that the Blue Dot team still has funds to maintain, and it is also because of Cheng Ran's help.

When Cheng Ran cashed out, Blue Dot's stock price could reach $30. And now Blue Dot's stock price is at $6, which would have been even worse if it weren't for the support of Fron's business volume.

The Blue Dot team has long lost the momentum of the dream of going public in the United States, and they have witnessed the bones all over the ground after the bubble has faded, and they understand how naïve the dream is. No one buys the blue dot stocks, the stocks listed in the US three-board market are almost a pool of stagnant water that has lost liquidity, and now the disaster that happened in the US stock market clearly tells them that they may once be one step away from billionaires, but now they are separated by a world of abyss, and the blue dot will not collapse in the future, which is the biggest goal now, if you want to live hard, you can only do your best to do things, and Cheng Ran can only express comfort to this.

Compared with the overall loss of the blue dot, CQ is a different situation, CQ with Lingyu cash cow is not worried about the increasing cost of server funds, on the other hand, the CQ team led by Li Mingshi reached an agreement with Unicom in June to launch the first batch of 10,000 STK cards in the "mobile new life" service in Chengdu and Yuecheng, embedding the "mobile CQ" menu, which is of far-reaching significance to many CQ and Unicom mobile phone users. The service includes functions such as sending messages, querying information, querying friend status, and querying CQ users through different conditions. At the same time, China Unicom in both places has opened up the SMS service function to all users free of charge, making it easier for CQ to communicate with mobile phones.

Then, in August, Li Mingshi copied the model of China Unicom with China Mobile, which was only established in April, and signed a trial operation agreement for the "instant messaging---- mobile CQ" service in Shencheng and Rongcheng.

After the trial operation of Shencheng, it will soon realize business expansion covering multiple cities in southwest China and coastal Guangdong. At the same time, Li Mingshi stood in front of the stage and accepted the commendation of "New Economy Internet Figure" in Rongcheng, and attended some high-level government meetings.

Just a few months later, China Mobile launched a mobile Internet value-added service in the "i-mode" mode, and "Monternet" is about to appear. This kind of business was not favored at the beginning because there was no precedent in the United States, but who knew that because a dime a text message was more cost-effective in that era of expensive mobile phone calls in China, and people were more willing to express their emotions with short greetings to each other, with the rapid popularity of mobile phones formed a huge business model.

In the second half of 2000, few people could see the weather of this pattern.

The executive officer of Tianxing Music, who has collected a large number of digital music copyrights in his hands, and is also working tirelessly to do this, digging holes and moving hamsters Qin Xizhen also took the time to come to Rongcheng, Qin Xizhen came to Rongcheng to talk about business, in order to avoid being recognized, he wore a mask and asked Cheng Ran to eat fried chicken, burgers and fries by the window on the second floor of McDonald's, before coming to McDonald's, she was also in the sky restaurant of Jinjiang Hotel to talk about business with a music boss. Now she is dressed lightly, with a simple shirt and slacks, dressed as a young female college student, wearing a mask and a cap, lifting the lower edge of the mask to eat French fries and smoking a Coke tube, it really looks a little funny, where is the appearance of a well-known singer-songwriter?

After learning about Cheng Ran's college entrance examination scores and rankings, she stopped chewing the fries in her mouth, and the pair of eyes on the mask widened, "Why are you so powerful......

"So, now is the provincial champion in front of me, eat hamburgers with me?" Qin Xizhen looked left and right, looking like he wanted to pull people to show off and publicize.

Cheng Ran smiled, "If you take off your mask, I'm afraid no one will pay attention to a provincial champion." ”

Qin Xizhen said "hehe" twice, and asked with concern, "Which university will you be admitted to, Tsinghua University or Peking University?" ”

Cheng Ran said, "It seems that you haven't read the news, I reported to Central South University of Science and Technology." ”

"How can I have time to read the Rongcheng newspaper, and I can't imagine that you will get this result, what do you think?"

"I was surprised that someone slapped me in the face. ”

"Not wronged at all. How many people want to enter those two houses? Qin Xizhen frowned, looked at Cheng Ran, and sighed again, "But your thoughts have always been wild, and you can only explain that there are things that attract you at Central South University of Science and Technology." I always feel that Central South University of Science and Technology is in danger......"

Cheng Ran was dumbfounded.

Qin Xizhen raised his head again, "Then again, can I make a lot of money in the future, I heard that the market in the United States is very bad now, if you make a mistake in judgment, the money I give out now will be counted on your head." ”

Sure enough, if you don't have three sentences, you have to withdraw money.

Cheng Ran said with a smile, "The NASDAQ did have a stock market crash, but the scale of the domestic Internet is expanding, and now the price of digital music copyright is higher than before. Do you want to make an inch with me?"

Qin Xizhen waved his hand and said, "I'm a woman, working alone, it's very hard...... Aren't I going to save some more?"

Cheng Ran knows that with Qin Xizhen's series of commercial activities, she not only buys copyrights, but also supports many independent creators to a certain extent, and her status in the industry has risen invisibly, which means that Cheng Ran seems to be a slender woman who will even shout "money is not enough" in front of her, in fact, in the eyes of many people, she seems to be a very majestic existence of the eldest sister, which has to be said to be a peculiar contrast.

Cheng Ran said, "Now it's time to sow seeds, harvest, and wait." ”

"Okay. Qin Xizhen stretched her waist lazily, her figure was exposed, and she immediately attracted the attention of some surrounding tables, she quickly prostrate down, and smiled at Cheng Ran, "When we earn money, I will reward you when the time comes!"

"What is the reward?" Cheng Ran was curious.

"When you study at Harvard or Stanford abroad, you are polite, and if you choose a good one, I will pay you tuition fees to make up for your regrets in the college entrance examination. No thanks, I am so generous and generous. ”

“......”

Qin Xizhen wiped her mouth and picked up the Coke cup, "I'm going home for dinner in the afternoon, come with me to buy groceries, and let my dad give you this champion to pick up the wind." ”

Cheng Ran was pulled out of McDonald's by Qin Xizhen, and got into the Mercedes-Benz car that Qin Xizhen parked outside, a middle-aged man in front of him looked at him with a smile, and Qin Xizhen said to Cheng Ran, "This is my second uncle." This is Cheng Ran. ”

Qin Xizhen's second uncle nodded, drove the two to the Carrefour supermarket, and waited outside. Qin Xizhen's second uncle used to drive in the government and knew a lot of doors, after Qin Xizhen became famous, he acted as her full-time driver in China, in fact, Qin Xizhen gave him a job. Although it is his niece, Qin Xizhen's second uncle still strictly maintains the boundaries of subordination. After Qin Xizhen pulled Cheng Ran back from purchasing, the large bags and small bags pushing the cart were loaded into the trunk with the help of Qin Xizhen's second uncle, and then drove her home.

From beginning to end, Qin Xizhen's second uncle did not show any surprise or inquiring look towards Cheng Ran.

Then after sending Qin Xizhen home, he said that he would not come into their house to eat together, but said, "You know, your father's temper, I don't dare to ...... it."

Hearing this, Cheng Ran felt that he might not agree to this "commonplace".

Later, Qin Xizhen asked her second uncle to drive the car directly back to his house to rest.

Qin Xizhen's house is a small villa bought in Rongcheng, there is a yard outside, rockery, lotus pond, Chinese-style decoration, antique, this is her real estate in Rongcheng when she earns money, when Cheng Ran speculated on stocks and asked her to borrow money, Qin Xizhen once talked about this property.

After the house here was built, Qin Xizhen strongly mobilized his mother to take his father from Shanhai to Rongcheng, and he was also worried that his father would be closed to the end, and even Qin Xizhen planned to buy houses and properties in various places, so that the two of them could go around to play every year, but in the end, it was still Shanhai and Rongcheng, and Qin's mother complained to Qin Xizhen more than once about his father's temper.

Cheng Ran still has a headache about this, facing a master who used to be very artistic and then cynical, he wouldn't be too easy to get along with, but it was a pity that he agreed to Qin Xizhen to go to her house for dinner, and now he can only bite the bullet.

Qin Xizhen's father is as tall and thin as the photos and videos he has seen, his cheekbones are prominent, and the whole person has a proud temperament. Although he heard Qin Xizhen talk about his father's strange temper, the arrival of Cheng Ran, Master Qin, still behaved normally, nodded, let him sit casually, and gave Cheng Ran a good tea that he liked and brewed it for him to taste.

Cheng Ranna was flattered, took a sip of tea, nodded and said it was delicious, and there was no need to add various adjectives, the situation was unknown, and if you didn't say much, maybe it would touch the nerves of this master who was said to have a good temper, don't act rashly.

In contrast, Qin Xizhen's mother was much more easy-going and gentle, and she was also quite enthusiastic about Cheng Ran, and then went to the kitchen with Qin Xizhen to prepare meals. Staying Cheng Ran and Qin Keguang in the living room, chatting with each other, Cheng Ran, who was chatting about quyi, naturally couldn't compare with the insiders, and the atmosphere was embarrassing.

It's just that there is still a harvest, because there are a few artistic photos of Qin Xizhen on the living room shelf, not the kind of professional that was taken after becoming famous, but probably from college, some years old, white silk short skirts, without losing their youth, they are a little sultry in scale, and they belong to the kind of "Gu Ying self-pity" pictures that must be posed in the photo studio in those years.

When Qin Xizhen brought out the washed fruit from the kitchen, he happened to see Cheng Ran's gaze.

"The cantaloupe is very sweet, and I have already peeled the pears, you can taste them. ”

When Cheng Ran and Qin Keguang politely ate melons and pears and then turned their heads, Qin Xizhen had already taken those photo frames back to his room at some point, and finally glanced at Cheng Ran, his ears were slightly red.

Qin Xizhen's homely appearance loomed in the kitchen, and Qin Keguang, who had already seen his demeanor and movements, spoke, "My daughter, you know, because of work, I rarely bring my friends home for dinner......"

"Yes......"

"I heard...... You used to be in Shanhai No. 1 Middle School, and you were a student of Xizhen?"

"Yes......"

Qin Keguang picked up the tea, blew the floating green on it, and took a sip, "It's not easy for a teacher-student relationship like yours to be free from the intrusion of society." You are welcome to come and see your teacher often in the future. After reading and working in the future, if you need any help, you can tell your teacher. Between teachers and students, the most important thing is to help. ”

Cheng Ran nodded, "Understood." ”

Qin Keguang glanced at him, and the meaning of his words was that he believed that the smart one had already understood, and there was no need to say more.

The meal is served and the meal is served. The four of them ate at the table, and Qin Xizhen's mother kept smiling and looking at Cheng Ran, but she couldn't help complaining to Qin Xizhen, "Hey, you can't stay for a few days, you'll only come back for a few days, and you'll have to leave again when the time comes." ”

"Then what's the solution, I do things, and at the same time I have to run the business, who told me to have a boss above me and work for people. Qin Xizhen said, glancing at Cheng Ran on the other side.

Qin Keguang did not forget to educate at this time, "If others invest in you, you must be worthy of others." There is no doubt about that. ”

Qin Xizhen rushed over several times.

It just so happened that there were four sets of programs in Sichuan Province on TV, and the news was being broadcast, and on the scrolling text news below the TV, information about the college entrance examination was broadcast.

Qin Keguang looked at Cheng Ran again, "Are you studying in college or what?"

"The college entrance examination has just ended. ”

"Oh, how did you do on the exam......"

"It's okay. ”

"Oh. ”

The scrolling news on the TV happened to be: Cheng Ran won the champion of Sichuan Province with 703 points.

Qin Keguang thought for a while and said to Cheng Ran, "Are you called ...... Cheng Ran, right?" After getting Cheng Ran's affirmative answer, he asked, "How many points did you score in the test this time?"

“703。 ”

"So you're ...... Provincial champion?"

Looking at Qin Xizhen's smile that he was afraid that the world would not be chaotic, Cheng Ran nodded to Qin Keguang and Qin's mother, who had stopped with chopsticks.

Qin Keguang was angry at Qin Xizhen, and almost dropped his chopsticks, "Why didn't you say it earlier!

Qin Xizhen stuck out his tongue, and it could be seen that Qin Keguang had suppressed a lot of anger, I am afraid that if it was normal, it would be possible to drop the chopsticks and leave. Now it's different, and even a serious question that Qin Xizhen wants to laugh at is about learning methods and dabbling in books. It seems that even his own cynical master father is not exempt from the world's universally recognized success.

But it's always been a lonely and self-proclaimed father.,I think I'll have sympathy for my kind.。

It's just that when Cheng Ran said goodbye after this meal, Qin Keguang personally came out to see him off, and when he walked along the cobblestone road, Qin Keguang said, "Actually, my daughter, don't look at the age there, pretend to be mature, in fact, she is kind-hearted and simple, but she still hasn't grown up...... You are young and the champion of Sichuan Province, but it reminds me of my time, I can understand that you are now honored, but the honor is only temporary, guard against arrogance and rashness, and continue to polish in the professional field in the future, the champion is the highlight of your honor, but I hope you look back on your life in the future, you will find that this is just a slightly different beginning. ”

"Yes, thank you uncle for teaching. ”

"It's not to teach you, it's just my personal immature little advice," Qin Keguang smacked, "I also have a unique suggestion for Xi Zhen, don't look at the honor you got today, don't be obsessed with the present." You and Xi Zhen still have a long way to go in the future, so we have to support each other. ”

The new volume opened, and the chapter was overturned twice, and it was decided to enter in a relatively smooth way.

Let's walk gently into this good night.
