Summary of Volume II and Introduction to Volume III
The front is nagging, and the dry is in the last two paragraphs, so you can skip over and watch it directly.
***
The second volume is over, 200,000 words, at least 50,000 words less than expected, mainly less than Li Liling.
The readers and friends who followed the character of Li Liling at the beginning must have known that it was later deleted, because of the compromise, the compromise to the online text routine, which stemmed from the author's ignorance of the online environment at the time and the gains and losses of the book's achievements, and now the author is very sure that Li Liling is the first compromise of the book, and it is also the last.
Even if the results of this book are miserable, the author will continue to go in the direction set, whether stubborn or young, the author does not want to change the original intention of writing this book because of the impetuous environment of the online article - it has nothing to do with the grades, just want to tell a good story.
Of course, the character of Li Liling has not disappeared, she will appear in Zhang Dongming's world at a certain time and in another way and posture, so I won't say much here.
Except for Li Liling, the stories of all the characters in the second volume are basically walking according to the established rhythm and direction, from this point of view, the author is satisfied, and the dissatisfaction is that some characters have not been able to explain so specifically, such as Niu Xiuru, Teacher Lin, Shi Mantang, Lei Dong (Dongzi, Erheizi junior brother), and Pearl (everyone may not remember where this person appeared)
These characters are not soy sauce.,It's not so specific to explain it.,It's not that I don't want to.,It's not that I can't.,The main thing is that the relationship between the characters in the entire second volume is relatively fragmented.,There are a lot of threads.,So much at once.,I'm afraid everyone will feel messy.,Of course, now everyone may also feel messy.,That's the author's problem.,The pen is not enough.。
In fact, almost none of the characters in this book play soy sauce.
The reason why it is explained this way is because the usual online plot is generally to know what this person is doing at a glance, and you can know what the ending of this person is at a glance, but this book is not like this, so you may sometimes be puzzled, what is this character doing? Why does something appear when there is nothing to do? What is the use of this plot? Why does it look so redundant?
Here are two examples.
For example, Bai Yan, when Bai Dongsheng appeared in Chapter 14 of the first volume, he introduced that he had a sister who worked outside to support his family for him to study; it was not until Chapter 49 that Zhang Dongming went to Bai Dongsheng's house and saw this sister in the photo; it was not until Chapter 60 that this sister led Bai Dongsheng to thank him for the New Year; it was not until Chapter 68 that Zhang Dongming officially got in touch with her when Bai Yan came to return the mobile phone; and it was not until Chapter 72 of the second volume that Zhang Dongming and Bai Yan's lives were really connected.
For example, Dong Yan, in chapter 30 of the first volume, Zhang Dongming met Dong Yan for the first time in the bookstore in the city, led his daughter to buy reference books, in chapter 52, Zhang Dongming met Dong Yan at the gate of the third junior high school for the second time and saved her daughter, in chapter 7 of the second volume, Zhang Dongming, who was transferred to a high school, found out that Qi Xin was a student in their class, until chapter 23, Zhang Dongming had contact with Dong Yan through Qi Xin, and in chapter 57, Zhang Dongming and Dong Yan partnered in real estate.
There are also Erhezi, as well as Gong Fei, in fact, they are all about the same.
When Bai Dongsheng's sister was first introduced, did everyone think that Bai Yan would be an important figure in Zhang Dongming's future career?
When Dong Yan appeared by chance for the first time, did everyone think that Zhang Dongming would partner with her in real estate?
When Erhezi seemed to be selling soy sauce to Zhang Dongming's waste brick factory, did everyone think that the story of Zhang Dongming and Ersunzi would develop like this?
Why is it written in such ink?
If there is no understanding of Bai Yan in the past three years, will Zhang Dongming rest assured that Bai Yan will be arranged to the company?
Zhang Dongming was a big boss in the construction industry in his last life, not a young and simple hot-blooded hairy young man, he knows too well what an important position it is, and knows too well how huge temptations and interests Bai Yan will face in the future, if he doesn't have enough understanding and trust, how can Zhang Dongming rest assured?
If Dong Yan didn't have known Zhang Dongming in the past two years, how could a woman as mature and shrewd as Dong Yan gamble her entire net worth and partner with Zhang Dongming in real estate in that way without seeing through Zhang Dongming?
If Zhang Dongming doesn't have enough understanding and trust in Erhezi, how dare he hand over the relatively black part of his career map to Erhezi, it's too dangerous, and it may even be impossible to recover at any time, if it's you, do you dare?
The meaning of explaining these is to say that the story of this book is not the kind of brainless straightforwardness that you know when you see chapter 1 and chapter 100, or that this book is not an online article in the usual sense, and if you put the plot routines of other novels into this book, it doesn't make any sense.
Here are two examples.
For example, Gong Fei and Bai Yan like Zhang Dongming, everyone thinks that there will definitely be some emotional relationship between Zhang Dongming and the two of them, and the author can't say yes or no, but can only say that their story is not what you think.
For example, Tang Wan went abroad this time, everyone will feel that during the time of going abroad, there will be any problems in the relationship between Zhang Dongming and Tang Wan, or what factors will indirectly affect the relationship between the two people, or for the development of Zhang Dongming's career, which is not like this.
In the eight months that Tang Wan has been abroad, whether it is Dong Yan, Bai Yan, Gong Fei, Anna, or Liu Chuan, Erhezi, Chen Jian, Guo Qingfu, Zhang Dongming's relationship with them is above board and reasonable, even if Tang Wan does not go abroad, these stories can happen, and with Tang Wan's character and the sincere trust between her and Zhang Dongming, the relationship between the two will not be affected in any way.
So why did Tang Wan go abroad this time?
There must be a reason for it, but the reason has not yet appeared.
In short, the story of this book will not develop according to everyone's understanding and understanding of online texts, if there is any routine in this book, it is life, real life.
Just like Zhang Dongming taught six students wholeheartedly in the first volume, and then transferred to the county No. 1 high school, if it were you, would you continue to pay like that without regrets and without asking for anything in return? Don't you think about your future life? Don't you think about how to earn money and get married and live a good life?
Just like Liu Chuan and Zhang Wei broke up, Liu Chuan is Zhang Dongming's good brother who does not distinguish between you and me in his life, Liu Chuan is no longer dedicated to feelings, if it were you, would you scold Liu Chuan for being a scumbag, or would you persuade the two to reconcile?
The main thing is that Liu Chuan's feelings for Zhang Wei are serious, otherwise why did Liu Chuan finally say that he wanted to marry Zhang Wei? Moreover, Zhang Wei is completely responsible for Liu Chuan to get rid of the child? If Zhang Wei told Liu Chuan about her pregnancy, would Liu Chuan let her get rid of the child?
The reason why Liu Chuan and Zhang Wei broke up, and the reason why there was a situation of beating children, was not that the two people had no feelings, both of them loved each other, but the current personality and temper of the two people led to these happenings, if both of them could be a little more mature, these would not happen, so Zhang Dongming would persuade Liu Chuan and Zhang Wei to reconcile.
Also, Zhang Dongming's attitude towards the fact that Wang Shuhan and Liao Qiang are together.
Zhang Dongming knows what kind of person Liao Qiang is, he definitely doesn't want Wang Shuhan and Liao Qiang to be together, but when Zhang Dongming knew about this, Wang Shuhan was already with Liao Qiang, and Liao Qiang had slept with him, Wang Shuhan was immersed in the sweetness and happiness of love, what do you want Zhang Dongming to do at this time?
Let Zhang Dongming go and tell Wang Shuhan that Liao Qiang is a scumbag, you can't be with him? Or threaten Liao Qiang and let him break up with Wang Shuhan?
Don't say whether it's useful or not, isn't it too cruel to Wang Shuhan?
Later, Wang Shuhan was sad because Liao Qiang was messing with other women behind her back, Zhang Dongming wanted to persuade Wang Shuhan to break up with Liao Qiang, but the reason why he didn't persuade was because Zhang Dongming felt that Wang Shuhan really loved Liao Qiang at that time, coupled with Wang Shuhan's simple character, it was useless for him to persuade him, so Zhang Dongming patted Liao Qiang's shoulder when he left, just to warn Liao Qiang, and the last phone call with an obvious threatening nature.
Of course, Zhang Dongming could have done better for Wang Shuhan and Liao Qiang, but he didn't do it, or rather, Zhang Dongming did what he could do to the greatest extent.
If something happens to Liu Chuan or Gong Fei, Zhang Dongming will definitely do his best to help without reservation, or even do everything he can, but Wang Shuhan is not Liu Chuan, not Gong Fei, and not the most important person in Zhang Dongming's heart.
And Zhang Dongming didn't want to get too close to Wang Shuhan, because he was already a person with a girlfriend, and Wang Shuhan's identity that had been chasing him for three years was a bit sensitive.
Just like the day after he went to the city to comfort Wang Shuhan that night, Zhang Dongming told Tang Wan about it, of course, Zhang Dongming wouldn't know if he didn't say it, Tang Wan wouldn't care if he knew, with Tang Wan's character, not only wouldn't care, but would also approve of Zhang Dongming's doing.
However, no matter how good and understanding Tang Wan is, it is Tang Wan's business, for Zhang Dongming, he must also do what he should do, Zhang Dongming will not let the entangled relationship between men and women affect the relationship between him and Tang Wan, even if it is just a slight possibility.
Just like knowing that Wang Shuhan and Liao Qiang are likely to be unhappy, Zhang Dongming still hasn't called Wang Shuhan for more than half a year, just like Zhang Dongming hasn't seen Wang Shuhan again except for the night when Wang Shuhan was beaten by Liao Qiang, Zhang Dongming has been trying his best to maintain the boundary between him and Wang Shuhan.
As for other women, so far, there has not been a clear situation where they have shown their liking or admiration to Zhang Dongming, and if they did, Zhang Dongming would have the same attitude.
Isn't it the same in our lives, with a girlfriend and a wife, if you love her, no matter how good and close you are with other girls or women, you will definitely maintain a certain boundary, and if the other party exceeds this boundary, then you must give up.
All of the above is an expression of the style and routine of the book: life, real life.
Zhang Dongming is not you, nor me, but he may be right next to us.
Of course, as the protagonist of a novel, Zhang Dongming must have a corresponding story and legend, but no matter how legendary the story is, Zhang Dongming will not think and act beyond the scope of life, he is not a saint, a superman, a robot, he is not so great, and he is not so awesome.
Back to the theme, many of the main characters in the first volume are simple appearances, except for a few students in the second volume, the stories of all the characters have been further developed, Zhang Dongming has also become more specific, and Zhang Dongming's life has a clear direction.
The third volume is called "Happy Days", in this volume, Zhang Dongming's emotions and career will gradually stabilize, Liu Chuan, Dong Yan, Erhezi and others will officially embark on their respective journeys, Bai Yan, Chen Jian, Gong Fei, Wang Qiang, several students and others will start their further lives, and some figures from the political, business, and entertainment circles will gradually appear.
In short, this volume is a volume of the story to mature, the overall rhythm will be faster than the first two volumes, the overall plot is still based on daily life, Zhang Dongming will also go out of the small county, out of the city, to visit the prosperity of the provincial capital, to see the beauty of the world.
