Chapter Twenty-Four: The Troubles of Youth

Because of the significant reduction in the number of deaths affected by the disaster, the disaster prevention and early warning system developed by Fulong has made great contributions to this catastrophic flood, so not only Cheng Feiyang and Li Mingshi accepted the honor on behalf of Fulong in the Great Hall at the Flood Fighting and Rescue Commendation Conference in September, but also because the effective early warning measures of this system have been promoted afterwards, and the meteorological and water conservancy departments of many provinces and cities have handed olive branches to Fulong to purchase this early warning system.

These flooding orders allowed Fulong to have a rich return in 98, and when the year-end summary was later, Fulong's revenue that year had exceeded 1 billion.

The most gratifying thing is that in the past, most of the recruits of fresh graduates, heard the name of Fulong, most of them disdained, and after this incident, many people who came to recruit joined the company with reverence and worship, with more talents, and accumulated the foundation and brand effect of entering Rongcheng, so 98 years in the chronicle of Fulong, it is called - "the year of transition".

Of course, the deployment of this system in the 98 flood relief was ultimately a little late.

When the Ministry of Information Industry was established in March, Fu Long put forward this system, but it did not receive much attention. Moreover, at this time, the whole country is still relatively optimistic about the judgment of the form of floods.

It was not until the plenary meeting on flood control convened by the State Council in April that many departments of water conservancy, meteorology, and flood control were relaxed.

At this time, the severe meteorological situation was in front of us, and the possibility of a catastrophic flood had skyrocketed, so that Fulong's disaster early warning system was put on the table.

After the National Defense General passed the deployment resolution, because of the tight time and heavy tasks, the preliminary project of this system was only prioritized in cities and counties in the middle and lower reaches of Poyang Lake, Dongting Lake, and the Yangtze River.

Therefore, after that, there was also controversy and criticism, believing that if the disaster early warning system could be deployed on a large scale earlier, then it is likely that some of the loss of life and property that was not taken into account in the river basin might be mitigated.

It's just that there are never assumptions and ifs in the face of disaster.

The lessons and experiences of the natural and man-made disasters brought about by this basin-wide flood have also promoted the upgrading of water conservancy projects in the future, and at the same time, it has also allowed China to see the possibility and application prospects of using information technology to prevent disasters, and it is likely to promote the construction of national disaster prevention and mitigation informatization more quickly.

For a long time, Cheng Ran's rebirth has been based on the premise of enjoying life and living in the present, carefully maintaining his own small life. However, through this incident, he felt something strange, and sometimes he couldn't sleep at night, and he woke up inexplicably, and looked at the stars outside the window, and felt as if he was noble.

Of course, the emergence of the system, if it weren't for Cheng Feiyang and the people who supported him, who saved the previous Huatong Company together, there would be no creation of Fulong, and if it weren't for the fact that Fulong has a group of people who dare to think and dare to break through, it would be impossible to create such a system.

People are eager for honor, and the reborn are not exempt from vulgarity, sometimes seeing people's discussion and praise of this system, Cheng Ran imagined taking a big speaker, and when he met people, he said, "Do you know the Fulong disaster warning system, my idea!", etc., there must be a refreshing feeling of buying a Ferrari and shouting all over the street for people to take a look at.

After all, I'm still a layman......

Of course, Cheng Ran, who is not involved in specific affairs and administration, does not know that within Fulong, after a series of incidents, there are many seniority and veterans who regard him as "Little Zhuge ", so that many years later, Fulong, who has become a behemoth, and the tradition of the project development team visiting him on the eve of the project to ask for a good fortune, is the same as a mascot......

......

For those of their age in the small inland city, memories of the floods are more likely to be on television, or the fact that the continuous heavy rain made the roads in the city's low-lying areas impassable, and people took off their shoes and rolled up their trouser legs to go home.

Even for many children in disaster-stricken areas, it was a fun summer, when schools were flooded and classes were not held, so they rowed homemade boats out of the house...... In short, all the days when there are no classes are good days.

The disciples of the big courtyard will be reported to be infected, and one day Cheng Ran saw Yao Beibei Yang Xia and his party with red eyes, saying that they watched TV and saw the rows of tired green uniforms sleeping under the simple shed, crying profusely.

But the big courtyard disciples went out but their waists were stiffer, and they held their heads even higher, and it is said that the unit next door will ask if they meet, that disaster early warning system, is it really made by your Fulong company?

This is the chaotic, but full of cicadas.

When the whole country was fighting against the flood, Shanhai City was not affected, so the classes were still held, and the arrival of the flood seemed to be just news on distant TV and people's mouths.

In June, Xie Houming took office as the Rongcheng Provincial Investment Company, and Xie Feibai also moved to Rongcheng.

Before leaving, I went to the school to go through the formalities, and it was said that some people in No. 1 Middle School applauded, as if Xie Feibai was gone, there would be one less scourge.

Xie Feibai sometimes feels a little depressed, obviously he hasn't done anything at all...... It's just that I taught Qi Sheng's group of people a lesson at the beginning of school, and then they also changed their ways...... I went to the court to play, but the original players left one by one...... I finally caught the people back, so I said that everyone wouldn't bully people when they played together, but one or two of them didn't score goals like soft-footed shrimps, so it's boring......

Moreover, there are obviously girls who have a crush, and they are sincerely pursued, but they all avoid them like snakes and scorpions, and only later did they learn that the middle school always said bad things about themselves behind their backs...... In this way, he didn't go to trouble the other party, he was kind enough, but in the end, his reputation was not very good!

Compared with Cheng Ran, why is the gap between people so big...... You still have to believe in your fate!

Before leaving, Xie Feibai found Yu Xiaocheng Ran and came out to eat skewers at the barbecue restaurant on Tongshun Road.

Xie Feibai looked at the two of them, and sighed with some emotion, "In the end, there are only the two of you who can talk in the mountains and seas...... Looking at the first half of my life, it's really tragic......"

Yu Xiao said, "...... I also heard that you drank in the Grand Bag last night...... It was Liu Zhongping's son Liu Jin, Wu Bin's brother, and the former secretary's nephew who were ......"

In fact, Xie Feibai only held a farewell banquet yesterday, and they are all those children like Liu Jin, although they are friends with these people on the scene, but after all, they have been friends for many years, and they have been sticking to each other's hot faces, so it is not good to give others a cold ass. So yesterday's meal was so drunk that Xie Feibai vomited a few times at night, and when he got home, Zhang Wei naturally talked and scolded, and he was not less ordered by the ear.

"That's different," Xie Feibai said, "Someone asked me about you yesterday, let me introduce you to you." I knew you didn't like it, so I turned it down. ”

Cheng Ran nodded, "I still want to have my ears clean." ”

Last summer, Xie Feibai's birthday, as well as Zhao Le's song copying incident, all had Liu Jin and others, although there was no direct conflict with them, but they saw Cheng Ran from beginning to end. Coupled with the rise of Fulong's fame now, it is likely that Shanhai's current group of young people with money and background intend to accept him.

Cheng Ran can of course hide from this kind of thing.

Xie Feibai also thought of yesterday's candied banquet, some people talked about Cheng Ran's father's company, and some people said their impression of Cheng Ran, "That day at the bar, this baby was present and talked about the Goodwood Music Festival...... His father's company is doing so well, he can also walk around, can he call him together to play...... "There is a big sense that their circle can accept Cheng Ran."

But Xie Feibai sneered in his heart at that time, the relationship between the political and business networks that this group of people was proud of, in Cheng Ran's eyes, was probably an evaluation of what kind of onion you are.

After drinking two glasses of beer and eating a few skewers of roast beef tendon, Xie Feibai said, "I have a headache when I think of going to Rongcheng...... I have to deal with those Rongcheng relatives who are annoyed but can't be ignored again......"

"Just don't contact the relatives you hate!" Yu Xiao said.

"What do you think!" Xie Fei gave him a blank look, "What I'm most afraid of is those who keep saying, "I'm for your good!", but you have to intervene in everything, and you can't turn your face with him! My horrible mother-in-law's cousin...... Forget it, don't talk about it!It's all a history of blood and tears......" Finally, he turned to Cheng Ran's eyebrows and danced, "Anyway, I'm waiting for you to come and rescue me!"

Yu Xiao looked at Cheng Ran, "You want to leave too!?" but he quickly calmed down, "That's right...... Our family also said that the development of Fulong Company must enter Rongcheng, and when the headquarters is to move over, we may all move together. ”

Cheng Ran said, "My dad will go over first, the pioneer, I'll follow him, but it's also after the end of this semester." ”

Yu Xiao was silent for a moment, "This matter...... You didn't tell anyone in the yard?"

"Not yet, isn't there still time. ”

Yu Xiao nodded, "So, my family is also going to move over?"

Cheng Ran said, "You can also stay here, your father went to work...... At that time, there will be welfare housing, and your family will have one set. However, I still suggest that your family buy a house for self-living, which is considered an investment, and your family has this money. ”

Yu Xiao nodded, "If you go to Rongcheng, then I'd better go over, and it's okay to transfer to a private middle school! ”

Just when the three of them were eating barbecue and drinking beer and chatting about business plans, Xie Feibai casually looked at the door and was stunned for a moment.

Noticing his strangeness, the two looked at the same time, it turned out that several pairs of men and women came to the barbecue restaurant, and one of the girls was called Shen Meng in the old junior high school, and there was a tall boy standing next to her, looking intimate, it should be a boyfriend.

The scene was suddenly a little embarrassing, when they were in the first year of junior high school, Xie Feibai and Shen Meng had been friends for a while, and behind that separation wall, Cheng Ran and Yu Xiao secretly saw the indescribable things between Xie Feibai and the other party.

Later, Xie Feibai gave up on others, and this kid really deserved to be beaten.

Xie Feibai looked at her, and she also looked at Xie Feibai.

In an instant, Shen Meng's eyes turned red, and the friends next to her also looked at the three of them at the same time.

However, in a short time, Shen Meng regained his composure, and pulled the boys and friends around him to find a table and sit down. Cheng Ran didn't know any of these people, but it seemed that everyone was familiar with Xie Feibai, and they looked at them dissatisfiedly.

Xie Feibai immediately hung his head, he had a long cold war with his father, and he himself was rebellious and in an abnormal state, and Shen Meng had a bit of a game in the world, and later he actually regretted it faintly, but after graduating from junior high school and going to high school, he never saw Shen Meng again.

Later, it is said that Shen Meng did not go to the first high school, but studied in Qinghai High School, which is half a city away from the city's first middle school and close to the lake.

Yu Xiao and Cheng Ran also once asked Xie Feibai if he regretted it, and Xie Feibai's original words at the time were, "What do you regret, a flat-chested girl...... If it weren't for the fact that she's a member of the study committee, I wouldn't have soaked...... But it actually feels pretty good......"

In fact, Cheng Ran often saw Xie Feibai always glance in that direction from time to time when he passed by the Shunhe intersection on his way home, which was the direction of Shen Mengjia.

After this barbecue, there was a sound of talking and laughing between Shen Meng and his friends from time to time, and every time Xie Feibai glanced at him, he could see Shen Meng holding the arm of the boy next to him who was taller than him and more handsome.

Every now and then, Xie Feibai became more and more depressed.

Later, he simply muttered in a low voice, "Eat the hammer, eat!" and got up to let the boss pay, and then the three of them walked out.

When passing by Shen Meng's table, Xie Fei turned his head suddenly, Shen Meng looked up at him, took a deep look, and withdrew twice.

It's just that Shen Meng, who had been talking and laughing with his friends before, was still a little distracted when he saw Xie Feibai's back leaving.

The three of them walked on the street, and Yu Xiao said, "...... Do you think you were a bastard back then?...... It was such a coincidence that you were about to leave, did you think that this might be the last time you would meet?"

Xie Feibai snorted, "Fart! Are you scolding me in disguise...... I'm going to regret it? Who am I? Girls have never been the only ones I don't want to soak, and I can't do it without me!"

Putting his hand in his butt pants pocket and walking, Xie Fei was still unfinished, "It's just that my chest is uneven, and my eyes have changed from A to C, and I can't hold one hand, damn, why haven't I been so lucky......" Then he pretended to be deep, "Forget it, it's just a woman......"

At the end, Xie Feibai wanted to take a taxi home, and avoided looking at Cheng Ran's slightly meaningful eyes with a smile.

Saying goodbye to him and making an appointment to say goodbye to Rongcheng, Xie Feibai took a taxi around a tofu block, and finally came to the street opposite the barbecue restaurant. Watching Shen Meng in the shop get up after chatting with her friends, separate at the intersection, and go up along the Shunhe Road with the boys next to her, and finally say goodbye outside the gate of her house, the two hugged each other.

In that hug, Xie Feibai was actually standing in the shadow of the big tree across the intersection.

It's hard to say what he's nostalgic for.

There were no fireworks this night, only the troubles of Xie Feibai, a young man who was about to leave the city.
