Chapter 1: The Corrupt Official's Father
Zhao Jiangchuan was reborn.
It took Zhao Jiangchuan a day to realize that none of this was a dream, even if it had no scientific basis at all.
It's just that in the face of everything familiar in his memory, he has to admit that science can't explain it all.
The last calendar on the wall was left, telling him exactly what day it was.
Year of the Dog, Monday, December 2, 1994.
Dazed, dazed, at a loss, then shocked, excited.
Without pinching himself, Zhao Jiangchuan knew that he was really not dreaming, and the hot pain in his ass continued to remind him that everything was real, and he was really reborn.
As soon as he got up in the morning, when Zhao Jiangchuan was still in a daze, his ass was slapped a few times by his father who called him to get up several times, and the hot feeling kept prompting that all this was true.
It's still that slap, it's still that taste.
After experiencing the repeated impact of that explosive emotion, after realizing that he was really reborn, Zhao Jiangchuan began to hurt his head in addition to his butt pain in various tastes.
Especially at night, when he saw his father, who was sitting on the sofa watching TV, crying and watching his tears, Zhao Jiangchuan only felt a deep headache.
Different from the slightly shorter height of southerners, Zhao Donglai, whose ancestral home is in the Central Plains, has a height of more than 1.8 meters, and looks very strong and burly.
A Chinese face looks full of righteousness, thick eyebrows and big eyes look very energetic, and the facial features are upright and angular, which is very temperamental.
If he is twenty years younger, he will be carved out of almost the same mold as the current Zhao Jiangchuan, and he will definitely be a school grass-level beast.
But it was this man who anyone who looked at it and thought it should be an iron-blooded man, who was wiping tears while watching a TV that had been played dozens of times.
"It's so patheticγγγ woo...."
The old-fashioned plot, Zhao Donglai still watched it very emotionally, and he sympathized with the tragic fate of the protagonist by talking to himself, and when the plot reached a critical moment, he couldn't help but whimper.
The towel he was holding in his hand was already wet with tears.
A big man can cry when he watches a TV that has been played several times, although it is not unique, but it is definitely very rare.
As for Zhao Jiangchuan's mother, Huang Yajuan, sitting at the other end of the sofa, after seeing her man start crying again, she couldn't bear it anymore, so she turned around and went back to the house without saying a word.
Even when she entered the door, she slammed the door with a loud bang in anger.
But Zhao Donglai was good, he was watching TV intently, he didn't realize that his wife had been angry and went back to the house to sleep, and continued to cry while wiping his tears and thinking something.
There is such an old man, it is estimated that anyone will feel a headache when they can't cry or laugh.
Zhao Jiangchuan is not because his father loves to cry and has a headache, he has been his son for life, Zhao Jiangchuan has long been immune to Zhao Dong watching TV and crying.
What Zhao Jiangchuan has always had a headache is that he, a father with a righteous face and looks like a righteous father, a father who will cry when watching TV, and a father who seems to be softer than a woman, is a corrupt official.
A corrupt official who will never be soft when it comes to corruption, and a big corrupt official who will be sentenced to life imprisonment by the Commission for Discipline Inspection in the future.
Of course, logically speaking, it is impossible for Zhao Jiangchuan to know these things now.
However, he was reborn inexplicably, and he has the memory of twenty years in the future, and it is not clear what happened to his father.
Zhao Donglai started as a section member of the Ludao Maritime Safety Administration, then to the section chief, and then to the director, and then there was no more.
Soon after, in 2001, in the smuggling case that shocked the whole country, Zhao Donglai, who had become the director of the Ludao Maritime Transport Administration, was sentenced to life imprisonment for embezzlement and bribery.
Later, unable to bear the huge gap, Zhao Donglai hanged himself in prison, and Zhao Jiangchuan's mother Huang Yajuan, a woman who had followed Zhao Donglai for half her life, secretly carried Zhao Jiangchuan behind her back and followed Zhao Donglai together.
This incident is a pain in Zhao Jiangchuan's heart for the rest of his life, even if he later became one of the financial giants on Wall Street, he could not change the facts that have passed.
Zhao Jiangchuan was later called Zhao Maniac by the Wall Street gang, Zhao Jiangchuan, who was so crazy that he even dared to release a nuclear bomb in a desperate situation, a large part of his madness was caused by the destruction of his family back then.
No one knows what kind of sadness and helplessness there is behind the madness of Madman Zhao.
With a clear understanding of the future, Zhao Jiangchuan certainly couldn't watch his father go further and further down the road of corruption.
No one knows better than him that corruption is a point of no return.
But now that he is in his third year of high school, where does he have any qualifications to persuade his father, who is the head of the family.
Don't look at Zhao Donglai's crying now, it seems that his personality is very soft, with Zhao Jiangchuan's understanding of Zhao Donglai, if he dares to persuade Zhao Donglai to change his evil ways and return to the right, then he can only be exchanged for Zhao Donglai to beat him with a stick.
Even if he told him that he was born again, it would only be in exchange for two or three bigger sticks.
Finally, the TV that Zhao Jiangchuan couldn't watch at all ended.
It was only at this time that Zhao Donglai seemed to notice Zhao Jiangchuan, who had been sitting on the side for almost an hour, and he asked curiously: "Xiaochuan, why haven't you slept yet?"
My mom?
You're a big man who cries every night watching TV, don't you know that my mom has had enough?
What can Zhao Jiangchuan do, Zhao Jiangchuan is also desperate when he meets such a father, he can only complain: "Prepare to sleep now, my mother has already slept a long time ago." β
"Oh, you have to go to bed early, the exam is going to be taken recently, and then give Lao Tzu some face, don't take the test too badly, you know?"
After the TV ended, the crying Zhao Donglai disappeared, and his serious face was like the previous tears.
After educating Zhao Jiangchuan, Zhao Donglai turned around and walked to his bedroom with his feet pinched his steps.
Zhao Jiangchuan wanted to say: "Dad, corruption has no future, even if you become the mayor, you can be greedy for a few dollars." β
Just opened his mouth a few times, Zhao Jiangchuan still dismissed his plan to persuade his father to stop embezzlement, and the stick in the depths of his memory made him really not have the courage to speak.
"Hey....."
It is now the end of '94, and there is only one month left before New Year's Day in '95, and although there are still six years before 2001, Zhao Jiangchuan knows that there is not much time left for him.
Based on a general impression, Zhao Jiangchuan knew that the per capita income in the nineties was very low.
If there is no other economic income, only with the salary of less than 500 yuan a month added by his parents, he can afford to buy a TV of 5,000 yuan and a leather sofa for 10,000 yuan in the year of the monkey.
The color TV at home, the set of imported sofas from island countries in the living room, Zhao Jiangchuan, who didn't understand anything at all, now doesn't know that these are all embezzled by Zhao Donglai.
This means that Zhao Donglai has now embarked on the road of corruption, and there is no six years left for Zhao Jiangchuan to correct his mistakes.
If Zhao Donglai can't be pulled back from the precipice of corruption as soon as possible, then maybe no matter how hard Zhao Jiangchuan tries, he will not be able to change what his family will face in the future.
Seeing Zhao Donglai's figure disappear from sight, Zhao Jiangchuan raised his head and looked at the ceiling and thought helplessly.
"What shall I do to save you, my father. β
