Qi Ming's office is on the third floor of the teaching building, a newly built building, and the whitewashed walls are dazzling in the scorching sun.

From time to time, a professor with glasses and a textbook under his arm hurried by.

The fierce debate was endless, and compared to the philistines of later generations, the universities of this era were the last pure land of academics.

Li Xian's gaze skimmed over the busy professors, teachers, and students one by one, and finally fell on Qi Ming, who was smoking a cigarette at the end of the corridor.

Qi Ming looked at him with a smile, as if he had been observing him for a while.

When Li Xian approached, he spoke: "Envy them? Then you can also take the doctorate exam." ”

Li Xian shook his head and said: "I just envy their style, not their life, everyone has a different way of living." ”

"I live like an old pedant in the Chinese department at a young age, why, my grandmother died, and the psychological pressure I was under was too great?"

Qi Ming has always admired Li Xian, and in his eyes, he has a maturity far better than his peers.

This kind of maturity, Qi Ming has seen in the eyes of his mentor.

Li Xian smiled humbly, how could he have any grandmother died, but he didn't expect to make up a lie, Qi Ming really believed it.

"Teacher Qi, I came this time to ask you for something?"

Qi Ming led Li Xian into the office, and as soon as he entered the door, Li Xian said what he meant.

"What's the matter?"

Qi Ming extinguished the cigarette butt and asked.

"I want to install a telephone in my dorm. Li Xian was afraid that Qi Ming would not agree, so he tried his best to make his voice sound gentle, with a bit of a request.

Qi Ming was stunned for a few seconds, and subconsciously said: "It costs five or six thousand to install a telephone, not including the monthly phone bill, you take so much money?"

"I didn't have much money, but during the summer vacation, I earned some. I just don't know what procedures and procedures are required to install a telephone?" Li Xian took out a bag of Chinese and slowly placed it on the table.

"You kid, dare to love is still a big money. Qi Ming naturally didn't believe the absurd statement that he could earn thousands of yuan in a summer vacation, and thought that most of it was money from his family.

He looked at the bag and laughed, "Alas, the teacher has been working for a few years, and some time ago, the school installed a phone and helped out fifty percent of the money, and I can't make up the rest." You're good, it's all out at once. ”

After that, there was still a hint of resentment in his eyes.

Li Xian's eyes lit up and asked, "Can the school give me a discount?"

"Think beautifully, the school is a welfare for employees, what kind of employee are you?" Qi Ming laughed.

"Your place, a waste is a waste. Li Xian still didn't give up, and secretly glanced at Qi Ming, the reduction of fifty percent is more than 2,000 yuan, who will have trouble with money?

Qi Ming just took a sip of tea and almost choked, this is because he is worried about himself! He rolled his eyes: "Roll the calf, the teacher can always scrape together enough money for a phone call if he saves money for another year." ”

Seeing that thousands of yuan were flying, Li Xian was a little distressed, and asked weakly: "Teacher, what's wrong with my telephone?

"You can write an application, I can't guarantee if it will work, but I can help you submit it. ”

"It's all set. Li Xian took out an application and put it in front of Qi Ming.

"Let's go back and wait for news. ”

After receiving Qi Ming's reply, Li Xian finally settled his mind and took a leisurely walk around the campus.

When the last guest dispersed, Lin Yuan stretched out his arm that was a little sore, and after a day's work, he was indeed a little tired.

But he loves this job from the bottom of his heart, and he feels that every day is very fulfilling, touching the countless electronic parts in front of him and all kinds of electronic products on the shelves.

Since he was appointed as the Minister of Mechanical and Electrical Department, Lin Yuan has been thinking hard, for fear that he will not do well, and he is the first to go to work and the last to get off work every day.

Fortunately, with the rich knowledge of the school, he was highly praised by the first customer after helping to successfully repair the TV.

With self-confidence, he started to do things, became more and more bold, and he did not refuse to accept the maintenance that others did not dare to take.

While successfully repairing one household appliance after another, he also helped the home appliances of Hongyun Building to make a name for itself.

At first, he was not favored by people who were in a high position at a young age, but under his leadership, the mechanical and electrical department became more and more prosperous, and he would be praised by Qian Liang, the acting general manager, in the monthly company summary.

"Dear Wu Qi: After a few months, are you okay? I received your last letter, I heard that you became a glorious deputy leader of the fourth group of the third production office of the workshop of the ironworks, I am very pleased, and I sincerely bless you, and I did not expect that as soon as I came, I became the head and manager of the mechanical and electrical department, although this is a small position, only one hundred and fifty yuan per month, but I will continue to work hard......"

With the help of the lamp on the windowsill, Lin Yuan lay on the desk of the house specially allocated for him by the company, and wrote a letter to Wu Qi, who was successful in the interview but did not come to Hongyun to report, but returned to work in the local ironworks.

More than half a month later, Wu Qi received a letter, thinking that Lin Yuan would cry to him, but he made an unwise choice, but he didn't expect him to say a word, and said that the company solved the account problem for him, and he still had an income of 150 yuan a month.

The director of the workshop walked over with a big belly and smiled, and said with a smile: "Wu Qi, you have done a good job this month, the output has increased, and the unit specially sent you an extra five yuan in order to praise you." ”

He stuffed an envelope into Wu Qi's hand and continued: "Come on, I am very optimistic about you, twenty years later, my position may be yours." ”

If he hadn't received Lin Yuan's letter, Wu Qi might have cheered, but now, like eating a piece of, he had to face the director's encouragement and eat it with a smile.

He opened the envelope with great interest, counted it, thirty-five dollars, and did not even want to carry it into his arms.

Looking at Lin Yuan's letter again, Wu Qi felt a hot pain on his face.

At the beginning, if he followed Lin Yuan to Hongyuan, Lin Yuan's position might be his own.

......

At the end of September, the school approved Li Xian's installation of a telephone.

Early in the morning, a middle-aged man came to the telephone bureau, with a cigarette butt in his mouth, a ladder on his shoulder, and a large roll of wires hanging on his body, and went downstairs to the dormitory.

Suddenly, the entire dormitory building was alarmed, and the people who came to guard the telephone office without even washing their faces.

As soon as the news spread, almost a few people in the neighborhood knew about Li Xian's plan to install a telephone.

One by one, they all came to watch, and the 108 dormitory was completely blocked.

"As for it?" Li Xian didn't expect that pretending to be a phone call would attract so many onlookers, just like where a star came in the future.

The master of the telephone bureau looked indifferent, he had seen such a scene many times, and he pulled the line in an orderly manner.

After nearly two hours of busyness, a voice finally came from the phone.

At this time, the onlookers were even more excited, and they were eager to try.

Li Xian, in accordance with the rules for installing telephones here, presented the master with a Hongta Mountain.

The master showed two blackened teeth and smiled.

"Hehe, young man, if you have any questions, go to the telephone bureau to find me. ”
