Chapter 145: Current Priorities

"Smack"!

Zhuo Qun erased it with his senses, and sure enough, he found the bedside lamp.

He opened it and sat up from the bed.

Take a closer look, and sure enough......

The most striking thing in the room is a vertical bookcase full of reference books against the left wall, and a desk with three drawers.

On the desk was the dual-card cassette recorder that had accompanied him throughout his middle school years, as well as two large columns of dozens of tapes.

Among them, in addition to Grasshopper, Jacky Cheung, Zhao Chuan, Qi Qin, Li Zongsheng, Luo Dayou, Xu Ruyun, Lin Yilian, TAKETHAT, Vermeer Band, Phil Collins, Mike Burton, Mariah Carey, and Mike Jackson.

Almost everything else was pirated, smacked tapes, or he ripped blank tapes from TDK or SONY.

But it was this familiar scene that made Zhuo Qun's neck chill.

Damn, it's not going to be a problem this time, is it?

Why didn't I go back to my hometown instead of college?

Could it be that this time it's the other way around, and the time of rebirth has been advanced?

I...... I'm not going to be a middle school student, am I?

The more Zhuo Qun thought about it, the more furious he became, and quickly lifted the quilt.

Fortunately, although the body is young, there is no doubt that he is already a sturdy young man.

He touched his face again, and the beard that was slightly prickly on his chin and cheeks gave him an unprecedented sense of steadiness.

At this time, he simply jumped out of bed completely, opened the door and went to the bathroom at home.

He quickly turned on the light, and immediately saw his face in the mirror hanging from the sink.

Under the warm light of the bathroom, he was even more relieved.

Because the look in the mirror matched the appearance of him in his early twenties.

But the question is, why is he here? What the hell is he doing at home?

Zhuo Qun quickly put on his clothes and pants.

At this temperature, of course, it was full of winter clothes, sweaters and pants, and he didn't care too much.

When he finished getting dressed, he looked at the alarm clock next to the bed, which showed that the time was already past seven o'clock.

I decided to go downstairs and buy some breakfast for my family.

Because since he is at home, he doesn't want his parents to work anymore.

And he's really a little hungry, too.

I can't wait to go and shop some fritters, hanging oven cakes, and drink a bowl of hot soy milk early.

But he never thought that he would run for nothing.

He didn't see a few people on the street, and all the shops were guarded by the Iron General.

When he found some red confetti of firecrackers on the side of the road, he woke up to the fact that it was during the Spring Festival.

No problem, turn around and go back.

When I got home, my mother was already up.

Seeing that he was so frozen, Zhuo Qun's mother raised her eyebrows and asked.

"I'm weird. Why did you get up so early, a night owl, and went to the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, when you weren't at home, you were looking for the cold outside......

"Mom, I'm going to get up. You just asked, I'm embarrassed. ”

In fact, what Zhuo Qun wanted to ask most now was what year it was, but he didn't dare to ask.

Fortunately, when he took off his coat, he found a newspaper on the sofa, which must have been left by his father.

He didn't care about anything else, and was attracted to the newspaper.

"What's the matter, you're not so happy? Hey, are you hungry? I didn't see you eat anything last night, I just drank with your second uncle. Son, Mom, I'm going to make you breakfast, what do you want to eat?"

Zhuo Qun got the newspaper in his hand, and said casually absentmindedly about his mother's inquiry.

"Omelette, bacon with muffins".

But Zhuo Qun's mother was stunned on the spot, and she didn't know why at all.

"What? What are you talking about? What are the roots? And what kind of cake?"

Zhuo Qun realized at this time that he was bald, and he couldn't wait to give himself a mouthful, so he hurriedly slapped his sloppy eyes.

"Mom, I'm kidding you. Do you have sticky bean buns at home? ”

Zhuo Qun's mother breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help but be disgusted.

"Okay, you little cub, when you drink enough ink, you know that you will be happy with your mother all day long. A mouth full of foreign words that I have never heard before. Cut, don't bluff with me in the future, what are you? Eat sticky bean buns, stick bean buns, you have a sticky bean bun head when you are young. Say, do you want to eat steamed or fried?"

Zhuo Qun was amused by his mother's frequent remarks about him.

"Mom, you can fry me. ”

In this way, when his mother went to the kitchen to work on breakfast, Zhuo Qun finally read the newspaper.

It was the newspaper on January 26, 2001, the third day of the Lunar New Year, which should have been yesterday.

The headline in the newspaper was a report on Putin's call to our family and the joy and peace of the New Year with all localities.

It's boring, but the other pages are a bit interesting.

For example, there is an article in the third edition, in which the famous economist Wu Jinglian poured cold water on the hot domestic stock market, defining the stock market as a paradise for speculators, which is the first warning sign that the big bull market is about to end.

The sixth edition of an article is about Maggie Cheung's change of 23 sets of cheongsams in Wong Kar-wai's "In the Mood for Love", which continues to extend the discussion on the beauty of national costumes, reflecting the signs that the cheongsam is about to be popular.

Finally, there is an advertorial in the twelfth edition, which recommends the two small books "Who Moved My Cheese" and "Poor Dad, Rich Dad".

In short, everything points to the social phenomena and cultural hotspots that people focused on at that time.

But I have to say that no matter which report can make Zhuo Qun feel relaxed.

In fact, he was amazed at the magnitude of time.

Compared with the last time I woke up, more than two years have passed!

It's even more excessive than the last time I jumped for ten months at once!

What does this strange phenomenon mean?

Could it be that his "time shell" is really dissolving at an accelerated rate?

Mom, I don't know if it's good or bad!

For this matter, he must also see Beilu as soon as possible, and he must discuss it with her.

She must have panicked when faced with such a situation.

To get to the bottom of this, it seems that they have to start this life as soon as possible......

Because there is something in his heart, Zhuo Qun is a little unsavory.

Watching the newspaper and hurriedly finishing breakfast, he basically ignored his mother's advice to chew slowly.

He glanced at the wall clock on the living room wall, it was already eight o'clock.

Father would get up at any time.

He didn't want to listen to his father's nagging and to hear what he already knew he had to do.

In fact, at this moment, he just wanted to hurry up and buy a ticket to the capital.

His plan was to go to the capital first to take care of everything, resign from the newspaper where he interned, and quit the house.

The point is that he still has to get a sum of money there so that he can go to the south to find Beilu.

It just so happened that in the past few days, there has been a windfall waiting for him in the capital.

It's just that it is the peak of the Spring Festival return to the city, and he doesn't want to squeeze on the train with others to go back to the capital at all.

So considering the reality of the situation, the most convenient thing is to open your mouth with your mother and borrow some money for a while.

"Mom!"

"Hmm......" Zhuo Qun's mother replied a little absent-mindedly because she was preparing breakfast for Zhuo Qun's father.

"Mom, I want to borrow some money from you......"

"How much money do you want?"

"Two or three thousand yuan, probably enough. By the way, if you have cash at home, you'd better give it to me now, I want to buy a ticket to go back to the capital early. Mom, at most I have to leave after the fifth day of junior high school at home. Come back and talk to my dad about it. ”

Of course, Zhuo Qun's mother was a little reluctant.

"Ah, I have a few thousand dollars at home. When you came back this time, didn't you say that you would be able to finish the Lantern Festival? After the fifth day of the new year, you will leave? Will you go back to the capital?

But then, he laughed again, pretending to be smart.

"Son, you're in such a hurry to go back, and you still reach out to your mother to ask for money?

Not to mention, Zhuo Qun's mother guessed really not outrageous, because Zhuo Qun's original wife Wei Li was a colleague in the unit.

It's just that at this time, Zhuo Qun and Wei Li are not familiar with each other.

It would take half a year for the department where Wei Li worked to move to the opposite side of Zhuoqun's editorial room because of the change of office.

At this time, it is very likely that they will be face-to-face, and Wei Li doesn't know who Zhuo Qun is.

So Zhuo Qun is completely lying.

"Yes, Mom, I recently met a southern girl, from Gusu, very beautiful, I want to meet her as soon as possible. ”

"Really?" Zhuo Qun's mother was in good spirits and slapped her thigh.

"Then why didn't you say it when you came back?

"Mom, Mom, no, don't you have a word yet, I was afraid that you would be excited if you knew it, so I didn't tell you. But to be honest, I don't think it's a big problem. ”

"Can it be done? Who is my son? A girl with vision must be rare. ”

Zhuo Qun's mother smiled.

But then, out of her mother's vocation, she reminded her again.

"Hey, son, I have to advise you, don't be too anxious. The girl's family now has a lot of problems, but it's not as good as when I was with your father. You have to be sharp-eyed to distinguish it, remember, what we want is a talented and beautiful Seven Immortal daughter, and at worst, you have to find a hard-working and capable snail girl. Don't be confused for a while, give yourself the whole eyebrow painting and eating people without spitting out the bones of the goblin back. ”

Zhuo Qun was really amused by his own mother, and patted his chest continuously.

"Oh Mom, you're out of the adjective. Don't worry, this is a big event in my life, where can I not be cautious? It's not that I blow it, just the girl I'm looking for, I promise not to pick it. As long as you, the Queen Mother, look at it, you absolutely like it. But now for the crucial question, you have to help me. Otherwise, I probably won't have a chance to show you......"

Now Zhuo Qun's mother was happy.

"Okay, isn't it just 2,000 yuan, Mom will give it to you. But there is one thing, you kid must do what he says, and you are not allowed to fire empty cannons. ”

Zhuo Qun swears.

"No, it won't. Guaranteed to do what they say. ”

Zhuo Qun's mother slapped her thigh.

"Then you wait, Mom will give you the money. ”

…………

Zhuo Qun arrived in the capital on the afternoon of the sixth day of the Lunar New Year.

He is becoming more and more accustomed to flying first class, and vice versa, he has become more and more uncomfortable with flying economy class.

This cannot simply be attributed to vanity.

He was not like other passengers who would be curious and envious about the treatment in first class.

He just didn't fit in.

In fact, he has no problem with the perfunctory attitude of the flight attendants in the economy class, and the shoddy in-flight meals and drinks.

But he really felt that the seats in economy class were too narrow, and his legs couldn't be straightened.

But when you meet a wide-bodied travel companion sitting next to you, the taste is definitely enough to be tormenting.

But then again, people know enough.

After all, the journey time from his hometown to the capital is short.

And he's not down to the point where he's going to squeeze the train.

Being able to fly back to Beijing is already an out-and-out luxury in terms of his real income level and social level at this time.

Besides, the flight he booked was not delayed or rescheduled due to any accidents.

Being able to arrive in Beijing on time and not delay him to make a fortune is the most important thing.

Speaking of this life, compared with the previous lives experienced by Zhuo Qun, there is actually one of the biggest peace of mind.

That's when he gets his first pot of gold, and it gets easier.

Don't look at the time he woke up, it didn't seem like the time.

The postal market has completely collapsed, and the stock market is also about to lie on its stomach.

There doesn't seem to be much more opportunity for a fortune to explode.

But God often closes one door and opens another.

For example, the lottery is another rebirth benefit that Zhuo Qun can enjoy right now.

Yes. Starting from May 6, 2000, Beijing finally has the earliest lotto-type computer lottery in the region - Beijing Sports Lottery "36 choose 7".

This lottery is the earliest lottery in Beijing that can win a jackpot of five million, and it is also a floating prize.

The lottery is held twice a week, from 18:55 to 19:05 on Tuesday and 18:35 to 19:05 on Friday, live on the second set of programs (Channel 21) of Beijing TV.

The grand prize is 70% of the total prize money of the current period minus the total amount of the fixed prize, plus the outstanding grand prize fund in the previous period.

The first and second prizes are 15% of the total prize amount minus the total fixed prize amount for the current period.

And that is to say, when Zhuo Qun wakes up in abject poverty in this life.

There is no need to work hard and make money with eighteen kinds of martial arts like in the past.

He only needs to buy a lottery ticket according to the number of periods and numbers he memorized in advance, and spend a few small dollars.

You can wait for the next day to be transformed, and you will be rich and steep.

In fact, the 2001 lottery in his mind did not have a grand prize number for the 10 draws.

The most recent draw was the one held on Tuesday, January 30, 2001.

That's why he was in such a hurry to rush to the capital, he really wanted to miss it, and he would have to endure it for another month in the next issue.

As for how to operate and how to maximize the benefits, Zhuo Qun has thought about it.

First of all, in order not to arouse suspicion.

To buy a lottery ticket, he had to spend ten yuan to buy five numbers, one of which was a grand prize.

Secondly, in order to be able to catch more

Of the five numbered tickets, he would buy two at one point of sale.

Buy one at noon, and at 18:00 in the evening, buy another one before the draw.

In this way, there is a reasonable argument for him to get a double bonus.

It can be explained that I originally entrusted a friend to buy one on my behalf.

Later, because I couldn't get in touch, I was afraid that my friend would forget about it, so I bought one for myself.

In short, such a result is just right.

Knowing that he won the lottery, others can probably only envy his crooked good luck, but not be too suspicious.

Even because of this, there is even a valid reason for his resignation.

Imagine a young man who is just starting out in the workplace, and all of a sudden, he unexpectedly gets a wealth that the average person may not earn in his lifetime.

Who can not float?

Therefore, it is completely understandable that he asked the leader that "the world is so big, I want to see it".

It is not too much for him to become the first new employee of the "Metropolis Youth Daily" to resign due to winning the lottery.

He himself could imagine how his leader would bitterly advise him not to destroy his future for the sake of five million.

But I feel the contradictory appearance of envy, jealousy and hatred in my heart.
