When he was in elementary school, Liu Jingting had a natural enemy named Cui Dazuo, nicknamed "Hanzi".

At that time, classmate Liu was simply a small person, short in stature, thin in stature, and if he carried a big schoolbag, he could hardly be seen from behind, but because of his excellent grades and gentle personality, he was very loved by the teachers, so he naturally became the target of bullying by those tall and bad students, and Cui Dazuo was one of the representatives.

Things like "don't leave after school", "let's see after class", "tear up textbooks", "still school bag" are almost Liu Jingting's daily routine, in addition, Cui Dazuo because he peed on the spot in class, openly challenged the authority of the head teacher, gained a high prestige in the poor student world, and soon had his own fans - this means that Liu Jingting soon had more natural enemies.

The desperate days lasted for a whole semester, until Song Kun's school was merged into the Central Primary School, and Liu Jingting finally ushered in the day of turning over, because the first thing Song Kun did when he transferred to the Central Primary School was to beat Cui Dazuo into a pig's head in front of Cui Dazuo and his younger brothers.

Song Kun rode on Cui Dazuo and punched his nose to the point of a river of blood, which brought an extremely strong shock to Liu Jingting and Cui Dazuo's followers, and then, Song Kun, who was caught by Cui Dazuo with three blood paths on his face, announced uncontrollably: "From today on, whoever dares to provoke my cousin to provoke Liu Jingting will end up the same as Cui Dazuo." ”

Later, Cui Dazuo and his followers became Song Kun's followers.

Liu Jingting has not forgotten this childhood anecdote, but he didn't deliberately sensationalize it when he brought it up today, it was purely brought out by the way, the shock that his cousin Song Kun brought him eight or nine years ago finally got an even more shocking "revenge" today - a full 300,000 cash!

"This, Kiosei. Where did you get the money?" Song Kun stammered, apparently not recovering from the almost ridiculous facts in front of him.

"I didn't want to say it.,I participated in the essay contest in Vientiane School Park.,This is a bonus.,And some of my other manuscript fees.,In short,I can assure you,Every money in it is above board.,Legal.,But。 I still want to ask Brother Kun to keep it a secret for me. ”

"No, you must tell the second aunt about this. ”

Liu Jingting thought about it, nodded in agreement, and added: "For the sake of my safety, brother, it's best to know as few people as possible." What do you think?"

Song Kun nodded a little confusedly, but a thought in his heart became clearer and clearer: this crisis has finally passed. One qiē thanks to his cousin Liu Jingting.

"I'm an investor. Even if you lose money, remember to share me a little more when you make money, Brother Kun, I don't want to see your unproductive expression just now, in my impression, you are a macho man who can kill a tiger with one punch. So don't make me lose money. ”

Song Kun looked at Liu Jingting solemnly, then nodded seriously, and said, "Don't worry, Xiaoting." ”

"Hmm. I have to go back to school and prepare for my final exams. ”

……

When the deadline for the Vientiane audition essay was approaching, the plot suddenly turned around, and the ranking that had been basically determined had to be rearranged because of an unexpected move by a teaching assistant. "Maggie's Gift" was placed at the top of the top 16 without objection because of the sophisticated writing, upright three views and exquisite plot arrangement, and Liu Jingting, who came later and counterattacked perfectly, naturally became a popular figure in the judges' office.

Obviously, this Liu Jingting is a person who really understands life, this article is to educate everyone how to love people, preaching but not preaching, it is indeed a masterpiece, I want to meet this classmate Liu. One of the middle-aged female judges said.

"Maybe there are other meanings," Hu Jian still has a conceited smile on his face after many years, "such as subverting altruism, such as exposing the dialectical relationship between bread and love, and can also be extended to the discussion of whether love can be bought and sold." ”

"Any discussion of buying and selling feelings is shameful. The middle-aged female judge retorted fiercely, "I don't think it's necessary to over-interpret this article, this is a work that promotes the positive energy of love." ”

Professor Hu said with a smile: "This is a matter of opinion between the benevolent and the wise, and it once again proves the value of this article." ”

"What is the author's intention, let's wait until the round of 16 to knock out the final round and ask the author himself. Professor Lu played a round.

"Liu Jingting, this name is so familiar, oh, I remember, the author who wrote "Shuke and Beta" seems to be called Liu Jingting, you say, could they be the same person?"

Hu Jian smiled and said: "This is not important at all, Director Kang said that the virtuous do not avoid celebrities, let alone stick to the name, so it doesn't matter which Liu Jingting he is, he is the author of "The Gift of the Magi". ”

Professor Hu moved out of Director Kang and instantly suppressed the topic.

"Everyone finally confirms the list of the top 16, and if there is no problem, start to prepare a notice. ”

"The sixteen from before. One of the judges asked tentatively.

"Knock out. Dean Hu replied without the slightest hesitation.

……

After getting Liu Jingting's 300,000 yuan in the snow and the encouragement of "show your strength", Song Kun's whole person was refreshed, 300,000 cash gave him confidence, Liu Jingting's encouragement gave him fighting spirit, and in addition, for himself, it can be regarded as a long and wise experience.

At this time, the discussion of the elders also came to a conclusion, in a nutshell, it is the words "smashing the pot and selling iron".

"I already have a solution," Song Kun said calmly to the elders, "Let you worry about it to this day, it's mine or not, there will be no more such things in the future, three days later, open a store." ”

Father Song asked vigilantly, "What are you going to do?"

"Dad, don't worry, I will never do anything about being a traitor, I'm sorry for you, and I'm sorry for the brothers who grew up together, I'll take care of the rest of the matter. ”

Song Kun, who has the consciousness of "being your own boss is better than working for others", naturally will not be a brainless stunned youth, and after a few simple words of explanation to the elders, he left home quietly, carrying a large bag of cash, and personally went to talk to the furniture factory, the landlord of the store and other partners.

Song Kun, who regained capital, did not retaliate in any way against the two partners. Although during this period of fund-raising, they put a lot of pressure on themselves, and said all kinds of cynical words, Song Kun remembered every word they said, but he did not show any intention to slap his face after making any counterattack, he maintained his usual politeness and honesty, and even politely apologized and thanked him after paying off the payment and rent.

Three days later, Home & Furniture officially opened. The name of the store was taken by Liu Jingting, and the metaphor is very simple - home and everything is prosperous.

Originally, according to Song Kun's meaning, the name of the store should be called "Tingkun", but Liu Jingting thought that his cousin's stirring up the foundation was a disorderly behavior, and he vetoed it strictly. At the same time, from the perspective of advertising, he believes that it is simple and easy to remember. A store name that means auspicious is much more meaningful than an inexplicable and bell-and-whistle literary store name. This situation has something in common with the title of the book and the title of the movie.

When the firecrackers in front of the home and furniture store rang out throughout the street, Song Kun's previous object's parents came to the door to say goodbye in person, trying to save this marriage, with a lot of regret between words, and tears of regret when it came to emotion. Song Kun was very moved when he heard this, and then rejected them.

"I have a cousin who is studying at Yuehe No. 1 Middle School, a provincial key middle school, and he told me that you don't have to worry about doing business. Pay attention to interests, you must know how to forbear, but the feelings are different, people miss it, and never look back. ”

Facing the former father-in-law and mother-in-law, Song Kun responded.

After the successful opening of the furniture store, the question that followed was to explain the source of funds, although Song Kun tried his best to hide it and kept silent, the elders still caught Liu Jingting's shadow from the clues, especially Liu's mother, who received her son's mouth in advance, almost concluded that this matter was the hand behind her son's back, proud, proud, and then said that he leaked his mouth.

The next question is, "Where did that kid get so much money? What kind of essay contest did he participate in, and there would be so much prize money?"

The answer to this question was quick.

At half past nine in the morning of May 15 in the first year, the most popular and famous aristocratic institution of higher learning in China-Vientiane School Park, shocked the announcement of the list of the top 16 essays on the official website, and countless students who were looking forward to it were sitting in front of the computer, or holding their mobile phones, waiting for this moment like suffocation.

As if the imperial examination list was released in ancient times, after seeing this list, a few people were excited, but countless young candidates were saddened, and some students with poor psychological tolerance cried on the spot.

Sixteen lucky winners quickly became the focus of middle schools across the country, among them, "Liu Jingting", who won the title with "Maggie's Gift", became the focus of attention.

……

"Lao Chen, I'm Jin Yuan, has Liu Jingting confirmed that it is from your school?"

When Jin Yuan, director of the Yuehe City Education Bureau, saw the words "Yuehe No. 1 Middle School" on the list, he thought that he was dazzled, and after confirming that it was not a mistake but a fact, he immediately called the principal's office of Yuehe No. 1 Middle School.

"Jinju, Liu Jingting is indeed a student of our school, from the first and second classes of high school. "President Chen Jae-fu's excitement is no less than that of Director Kim.

"Okay, very good, haha, Lao Chen, I won't say much nonsense, do my best to send Liu Jingting into Vientiane, if you have any requirements, you know what I mean?"

"I understand, I have arranged for two senior Chinese teachers in the school to open a small stove for Liu Jingting, and before going to Jianghai, an intensive training will be conducted. ”

"Well, in short, mobilize the available resources and do everything possible to help Liu Jingting," paused, "If you can successfully send Liu Jingting to Vientiane this time, I will personally ask for credit for your school, of course, if Liu Jingting fights for courage and finally enters Vientiane with the first attitude, what does it mean, I believe I don't need to say more, the next national key middle school assessment will be in October, if this matter can be successful, it will be more effective than cultivating a provincial champion." ”

"I understand, Golden Bureau. ”

"Even if it doesn't work out this time, let's take a long-term view, when Liu Jingting comes out of Vientiane, who knows where he will go, maybe he will be the next head of the assessment team, so I hope you will pay attention to it and take it seriously. ”

"Okay, I remember. ”

……

Yuehe No. 1 Middle School and High School Class 1 and 2.

"I believe everyone knows," Tian Bo, the head teacher, stood on the podium with a spring breeze on his face, "That's right, our classmate Liu Jingting advanced to the top 16 of Wanxian Literature as the first in the country, and we are the only one in the entire Yuehe Region, and even the whole province, and we are the first, you know what it means, right?"

The students below were a little crying and laughing, and a few sparse voices responded to the situation: "I know." ”

"The first place in the country means that Liu Jingting is likely to become the first student in our province to enter Vientiane School Park. Tian Bo completely ignored everyone's answers, and said to himself, "This is more glorious than being a provincial champion, so I would like to ask Liu Jingting to get up and say a few words." ”

All the eyes of the class turned to Liu Jingting, who was sitting by the window, only to see him sitting there with a calm face as usual, as if smiling, hearing the words of the head teacher, he was slightly surprised, and then slowly stood up and said, "Thank you very much for your tolerance of me, I will continue to work hard," pondered for a while, and added: "Win glory for the class."
