Chapter 16 Merger of States

For all college entrance examination candidates, the longest vacation of their study career has begun.

But Tang He and Wu Wei did not relax.

The two of them came up with their own tricks and managed to scrape together the money used to get out of the relationship.

Learning the lesson of going out in the second year of high school, this time only a small amount of cash was brought with the two of them, and all the rest of the money was deposited in the bank, and then the passbook was hidden close to him.

On the train to Bingzhou, Wu Wei asked Tang He: "The vice president of Erlongshan University doesn't know us, does he dare to take our money?"

"Of course it's good to dare to take it. If you don't dare to accept it, we'll find a way to get him to accept it!"

Tang He said expressionlessly.

As early as after deciding on the idea of spending money to enter the university, Tang He has been desperately recalling in his mind the situation of Erlongshan University where he studied in his previous life.

Bao Pi, a classmate in college in his previous life, said that he was a member of his family who spent money to get into Erlongshan University through Zhang Weida's relationship.

Zhang Weida is the vice president in charge of admissions at Erlongshan University.

Tang He didn't have much contact with Zhang Weida in his previous life, but the first impression of this person was very good, first of all, Zhang Weida himself was dignified, and he spoke very personable, gentle and elegant, and had the feeling of a weak scholar. The students also spoke highly of him, and many said that he was a person with a great sense of justice.

Who would have thought that he would actually buy and sell college student qualifications in private.

In my impression, Zhang Weida should be in his forties now, which is the most proud time in his life.

He seems to have few hobbies, likes to read, doesn't like sports, likes to drink, but doesn't smoke.

By the way, he seems to like stock trading very much, and it seems that he started trading stocks in the past two years.

It seems that I still know a little bit of information.

Tang He felt a little regretful that he didn't pay much attention to the situation at school in his previous life.

……

In the 90s, the annexation of the state was a bit rustic.

At this time, although there were many high-rise buildings, there were few buildings with more than 20 floors.

Three-wheeled motorcycles run everywhere in the streets and alleys, and taxis have become common, but all taxis are Xiali, and the rear of the car emits a thick black exhaust to contribute to the PM value of the state.

On July 18, 1997, at half past twelve o'clock at noon, Tang He and Wu Wei, who had been running all the way, arrived at Bingzhou Railway Station.

Before his rebirth, Tang He had been in and out of this train station countless times.

But for a boy who is still seventeen years old, this is the second time in his life that he has come here.

The last time was when Tang He came to Bingzhou with his mother when he was a child. That time, my mother gave up the opportunity to further her education and changed her own life.

This time, Tang He had all his belongings and vowed to seize the opportunity to study in college, so that his mother could reassure his family.

At this time, in addition to a little more than 300 cash, Tang He only had 5,080 yuan on his passbook. The extra few hundred yuan was Tang He who added a postscript to "The Legend of Wukong", and shamelessly poured a lot of water like the authors of online novels in later generations.

Wu Wei's money is much more. Not counting the cash on his body, he had 7,690 yuan in his passbook alone. In addition to Wu Wei's small treasury, 7,140 yuan of this money was stolen by Wu Wei from his mother's fixed passbook.

It can be said that in order to change their fate, Tang He and Wu Wei have gambled everything on themselves.

Bingzhou is the capital of Hadong Province, located to the south of Ha Yin, closer to the capital.

Compared to the sultry heat of Hayin, it is even hotter and more blazing.

At this moment, it is the hottest time of the day, and Tang He and Wu Wei have not even drunk saliva in the morning except for eating a few eggs before getting on the train in the early morning, and they are already hungry at this moment.

With a strange and familiar sense of contradiction, Tang He led Wu Wei all the way to reject the aunts who surrounded him to sell small guest houses and railway dormitories, and went straight to the entrance of an alley diagonally opposite the train station.

There's a breakfast stall that's still open.

After ordering two bowls of chaos, two steamed buns, and two eggs, Tang He looked at the middle-aged couple boss in front of him who was working hard to cook with some emotion.

In his previous life, Tang He had also eaten breakfast at the couple's stall many times.

By that time, the middle-aged couple had become a little old, with gray hair and a blessed body. The only constant, perhaps, is their passion for diners and their diligence in cooking.

Who would have thought that such a couple who made hard-earned money, and the money they saved for decades was enough to make the vast majority of ordinary people jaw-dropping.

In his previous life, Tang He's Zhongzitou construction unit had some tertiary enterprises, and one of his colleagues was transferred to the construction line from a tertiary industry enterprise next to the Bingzhou Railway Station.

One day, the two accidentally chatted about the couple who sold breakfast. Then this colleague exaggerated that the couple became millionaires by selling chaos, soy milk, tofu brain, fritters, and instant noodles every day, not only for their two sons to marry a daughter-in-law after college, but also for several houses alone.

Is the iron rice bowl really that good?

How many people with iron rice bowls may not be able to buy a house for their children after a lifetime of hard work, let alone become a millionaire.

What counts as success?

A husband and wife rely on their own craftsmanship, are not afraid of the eyes and contempt of others, rely on paying more hard work than others every day, work hard to make money to support the family, and take good care of the whole family, isn't this a success?

This is truly a time of opportunity.

As long as you find the right direction and take a step ahead of others, ordinary people can succeed even if they work hard.

Looking at the husband and wife in front of him, Tang He was full of confidence.

With his own understanding of history, he will be able to stand at the highest peak of this era beyond the vision of the vast majority of people.

Now as long as Zhang Weida is done and admitted to Erlongshan University, he can be liberated and do what he wants to do.

It seems that I am really lucky to be reborn in this era!

……

After eating, Tang He summoned a taxi and went straight to Erlongshan University in the west of Bingzhou with Wu Wei.

Erlongshan University is an ordinary second-class undergraduate university in Hedong Province, which was first directly managed by the Ministry of Machinery of the People's Republic of China, and later handed over to the local government of Hedong.

In the decades since the founding of the People's Republic of China, there have been several major changes in the division of administrative regions in Hedong, first the counties were withdrawn and districts were established, then districts were withdrawn to establish counties, and finally city-level governments were established to govern the counties.

Erlongshan University, which relies on local government financial appropriations to maintain its operation, has been embarrassed to change its charge of local government several times.

This change has changed back and forth, making Erlongshan University slowly become a hot potato, and no local government is willing to accept it.

In the end, the Hedong Provincial Government directly let Bingzhou City take over Erlongshan University.

This may be the most fundamental reason for the slow development and poor academic style of Erlongshan University.

After getting out of the taxi, Tang He did not rush to the school to find Zhang Weida, but took Wu Wei to live in a guest house outside the school.

The two of them slept with their heads covered, and after waking up and washing, Tang He took Wu Wei into an Internet café called "E Time and Space" diagonally opposite the school gate.

Before meeting Zhang Weida, Tang He wanted to meet someone first.
