Chapter 8: Here Comes the Monkey 1
Until he got into the car, Qi Tianxiang's mind was still swimming between the ancient score and the monkey, one moment it was killing in the endgame, the other was the meaning of the monkey, and the deep meaning of Yan Bonian's intentional or unintentional words. [Ran^Text^Library] [ ] All kinds of thoughts intersect and chaos together, and I can't figure it out.
It was also too excited just now, and the excitement and surprise not only lost their normality, but also lost their basic judgment and thinking. It's no wonder that old classmates who haven't seen each other for a long time, hardcore brothers in college, how can they not be excited, and the monkey's voice on the phone also clearly reveals excitement and happiness.
The monkey's big name is Hou Zicai, a classmate of Qi Tianxiang University of Political Science and Law, not only in the same class, but also in the same dormitory, and he is also a brother who has been on the bunk bed for four years. Monkey is the nickname given to him by Qi Tianxiang, which not only aptly describes his restless character of jumping up and down, but also appropriately describes his thin image. At that time, the study life was innocent, and the nickname expressed intimacy and love, with a playful element, but more of a symbol, a sign of cognitive level and intimate relationship. Almost everyone has a nickname, and it is after entering the school and getting acquainted, and even some people will have different nicknames in the mouths of different classmates, and almost most people know the nickname, but the real name is gradually forgotten, and there have even been jokes and embarrassments that the teacher has called in class, and the classmates or themselves don't know who is called. In a university campus with more than 10,000 students, it is difficult for people to remember a name and be impressed, and the nickname with a clear label is different, just like Qi Tianxiang's nickname "Xiucai", which has become a label to accurately identify Qi Tianxiang, saying that many people don't know Qi Tianxiang, but when it comes to "Xiucai", many people will remember the white-faced scholar who is thin and tall, wears glasses, always holds books in his hands, and hurriedly shuttles through the libraries of various faculties.
And when it comes to monkeys, it is natural to think of the skinny, energetic, sunny and handsome big boy who is lively and active, and can be seen in various school activities, and many people don't know the name of Hou Zicai. In fact, the monkey has another nickname "****", which may better reflect his characteristics, which means that he is super active and helpful, whether it is a male or female classmate, whether it is a department or a foreign department, whether it is a senior or a junior, as long as it is something that asks him for help, he always agrees very happily, works very hard to do it, and often can do it or partially do it, and it is also famous for this and has gained good popularity.
It is precisely because of the help of too much activity organization and human exchanges, the monkey's spare time seems to be busy, and even the time for class is also taken up a lot, so that the schoolwork is pulled down a lot, although the study notes can be borrowed from Qi Tianxiang, and even the exam can be copied from Qi Tianxiang, but there are still a lot of failures, and in the end, the school looks at its own reputation and his usual performance, so he issued a graduation certificate, otherwise I really don't know what the consequences of dropping out of school will be.
Many people wonder how the quiet Qi Tianxiang and the active monkey have become inseparable good friends, often going in and out of the shadow, and eating in the canteen is more like a person. This is strange even to Qi Tianxiang, and he thinks it is incredible, but many things are just so unclear and incomprehensible. Anyway, in the four years of college, the two of them are the best brothers and best classmates, and when Qi Tianxiang can't make ends meet at the end of the month because of buying books or materials, he can always get help from the monkey, or eat him.
Maybe the reason may be attributed to the fact that they are from a city, have the same life experience, and have similar habits, but there are six classmates in a dormitory, except for one classmate from the south, the rest are from the north, and Qi Tianxiang has a relatively good relationship with them, perhaps it comes down to the monkey's enthusiasm and helpful character.
After graduation, Qi Tianxiang continued to stay in school for graduate studies, and Monkey was assigned to national ministries and commissions to engage in theoretical research and research work. Although he gritted his teeth and endured it for a few years, he still went to the southern coastal city under the coercion of the southward tide, and completely broke away from the original professional field and entered the media industry. Although he went to the sea and stepped out of the system to become a freelancer, this step was considered too reckless by both Qi Tianxiang and many classmates, but the monkey was ignored, and later a few classmates gave an ultimatum in a stern and even somewhat decisive way, so that the monkey retained his identity in the system and stayed in the south without pay.
That is, the identity retained after this bitter rhetoric has benefited the monkey a lot after many years, not only making the seniority become capital, but also the identity in the system has become the accelerator of capital, so that he can have today.
The first few years in the south were the hardest and most depressing days for monkeys, which can be clearly felt from the correspondence with Qi Tianxiang, the language, living environment, and working environment have given him a lot of pressure, and these pressures make Qi Tianxiang feel obliged to share it for him, so he tried his best to comfort and enlighten him in the letters. A few years later, after gradually becoming familiar with the environment, especially the process of gradual marketization of the media industry, the monkey's lively and active personality, as well as the ability to plan and organize activities have been well played, and soon emerged in the media group, becoming a middle-level manager. The benefits and effects of the large-scale activities planned are very outstanding, and the news and economic manuscripts written have also won national awards repeatedly. Just when everyone was optimistic about his follow-up development potential, he suddenly gave up the selection of the group's vice president position and chose the formation of the Beijing News Center of the Media Group.
Afterwards, the monkey still confessed to Qi Tianxiang, and kept talking about his thoughts and plans. In the final analysis, Beijing is the center of the country's political, economic and cultural affairs, the center of the country's will, and the tradition of the mainstream media, while Beijing is the mainstream of the development of the orthodox media. Giving up the competition for the position of vice president of the group is not clever, but really helpless, because a part-time manager wants to compete with the relationship within the system in the south, and the result is clear without trying. This time, I took the opportunity to set up the Beijing News Center, but in fact, it was a bright plank road to secretly Chen Cang, and it was still necessary to find an opportunity to return to the system, after all, this is the right way. Although the monkey's plan was not religiously put together, and what he said was also understated and casually indifferent, it still made Qi Tianxiang dumbfounded, he really didn't expect that after several years of hard work in the sea, the monkey's mind became so meticulous, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is even deceitful, but he still sincerely admires the monkey's vision and courage. Just like the monkey's plan and planned path, the Beijing News Center started in a difficult situation, and soon grabbed a place and gained a firm foothold in the fiercely competitive Beijing mainstream media camp with courage and courage, as well as the demand for telling the truth and seeking the truth, and the name of the monkey planner became even louder. Just when all eyes were on the monkey and expecting him to lead the Beijing News Center to another brilliant achievement, the monkey completed a gorgeous turn.
The monkey who reappeared in the media and public view is not only the editor-in-chief of the key publications of the central government, but also manages and controls a huge Internet network, has the dual advantages of the central authoritative media and the huge dissemination and influence of the Internet, directly participates in the planning and organization of several international-level high-level forums, as well as national-level national economic selection activities, and has become a celebrity in the eyes of many mainstream media, and at the same time, he has rightly become a bureau-level official in the system, fulfilling his dream of becoming a celebrity and an official.
Such a hot authority figure in the media world came to Hehai without warning, and as soon as he arrived, he asked Qi Tianxiang to meet and have a happy gathering, which seemed to mean more than just a meeting with old friends. Qi Tianxiang pondered the monkey's intention all the way, but he couldn't figure it out, until he entered the lobby of the Beijiao Hotel and saw Wang Jinlong, who had been waiting in the hall for a long time, that he suddenly realized and understood the true intention of the monkey's visit.
Following Wang Jinlong, walking on the pebble path shaded by green trees, listening to Yan Li and Wang Jinlong gossiping about each other, but in his heart he was thinking about the monkey's intentions and his own countermeasures, but at the same time, he did not forget to appreciate the quiet and elegant environment of the Beijiao Hotel.
Beijiao Hotel was built in the fifties of the last century, is to cooperate with the introduction of the country's big brother equipment construction Hezhou Heavy Machinery, for the installation of adjustment equipment in China to operate the Soviet experts specially built apartment building, is composed of more than a dozen European-style spire villas. The spacious garden also follows the architectural pattern of European gardens, and the layout of green trees and flowers is elegantly embellished with Western sculptures, making the whole garden and architectural combination form an exotic cultural style. The villas are connected by a pebble road, and the green wall formed by tall oleanders is quiet and mysterious. It is commonly known as the "Expert Building" in the local area, showing dignity and chic.
After the withdrawal of experts, the villa group has been repaired and sorted out several times, and has become a reception hotel for the foreign affairs activities of the provincial government, and due to its special architectural mode and interior decoration style, it has naturally formed two reception places corresponding to the provincial party committee and the provincial government corresponding to the Nanjiao Hotel. Different from the Nanjiao Guesthouse, which receives foreign guests or high-level officials at the same time, it has not received foreign guests or high-level officials at the same time, and has largely become a place for provincial and ministerial-level officials and VIPs to stay. The periphery of the hotel is surrounded by iron railings, the railings are full of rose branches, and the colorful roses bloom during the flowering period, clusters and clusters, which are colorful and colorful, and become a beautiful scenery, which also makes this exotic building and garden more distinctive.
Walking into the spacious living room full of Western charm, in addition to the exotic atmosphere, there were also the monkey's cheerful exclamations and smiles, as well as the warm hugs that couldn't help but say, when the monkey made a gesture to hug Yan Li, Yan Li opened his hands unceremoniously, "Dead monkey, it's still so shapeless." ”
Yan Li's words not only did not make the atmosphere in the room embarrassing, but brought a more cheerful and presumptuous smile, and the monkey sharply protested to Qi Tianxiang: "The school flower is cold and arrogant back then, and she still doesn't give me a chance for the monkey." ”
"It's better not to give this opportunity." Qi Tianxiang laughed and teased, "I haven't seen you for a few years, and the monkey is closer to materialization." ”
"Scold me!" The monkey shook Qi Tianxiang affectionately, and said with a smile to Yan Li: "I really think that I am as pampered as he is." ”
"Let him make up for you, whether to eat Wang Ba or drink turtle soup." Yan Li bumped into the monkey angrily, her tone was stiff, but her face was full of warm smiles.
"Don't stand lyrically, let's sit down!" The monkey changed the topic and politely invited Qi Tianxiang and Yan Li to sit down.
"I still don't sit down, and it's not too early." Qi Tianxiang looked around at the layout in the living room and the Western-style decoration, involuntarily frowned slightly, and said lightly: "I'm afraid you monkey is already hungry when you wait for dinner!" As he spoke, he smiled at Wang Jinlong, who was standing behind him, and said, "I won't eat your secretary-general's meal tonight, and his stomach can't stand your Western food, so let's go out to eat." ”
"Secretary Qi is a bureaucrat! We are here for a long time is not what it used to be, there are not only half-cooked steaks, French snails, butter salad, but also all kinds of Chinese food, dare not say that Sichuan, Hunan, Shandong, Henan, Hui, Guangdong, Chao, Huaiyang cuisine is complete, anyway, it is flying in the sky, running on the ground, drilling in the grass, you can get it cooked here. Wang Jinlong's wittiness made everyone laugh. He used to be the director of the Beijing Office of Hohai Province, and only returned to the General Office of the Provincial Government at the beginning of the year as the deputy secretary-general, and he was more familiar with Qi Tianxiang and Yan Li, and he spoke more casually.
"Forget it! The more lively it is, the more unreal it is, just like a supermarket, where there is everything, nothing is fine, and what is really needed is really not in it. As he spoke, he said to the monkey in a tone that seemed to be discussed: "Let's go out to eat more relaxed and pleasant for our old classmates!" Qi Tianxiang's words were soft and hard, saying that he was soliciting opinions, but his tone and demeanor were unquestionable.
"I don't care, I can put anything in my bale belly." The monkey patted his stomach exaggeratedly, and said with a big grin, seeing Qi Tianxiang's intention to turn around and leave, he hurriedly stopped, "You wait first." As he spoke, he didn't care about Qi Tianxiang's surprised expression, turned around and shouted upstairs: "Xiao Li, come down, let's go eat." ”
The monkey's move, except for Wang Jinlong, Qi Tianxiang and Yan Li were unexpectedly stunned. In the shout of the monkey, a charming and unusual woman appeared on the second floor, and walked down the corner staircase, dressed in red and dressed, with a red cloak, like a ball of jumping flames, floating in front of everyone.
"Let me introduce you to two people, Rose Lee, a TV journalist and famous program host." The monkey obviously caught the surprise that flashed in Qi Tianxiang's eyes, as well as the unconsciously frowning brows, and suddenly felt that letting Li Rose appear at this time could not be regarded as a mistake, but he still introduced it in detail and magnanimously, turned around and said to Li Rose: "This is what I told you, my old classmate, hardcore brother Qi Tianxiang, and our capital University of Political Science and Law school flower Yan Li." ”
"Brother Qi, Sister Yan, hello, Lao Hou has said that you have been many times, but you have not had the opportunity to meet, this can be regarded as fulfilling my wish." Li Rose's delicate voice was contrived, and her affectionate eyes drifted from Qi Tianxiang to Yan Li, holding Yan Li's hand and shaking it gently, it seemed to be very close, but it was very fake.
Qi Tianxiang suddenly felt that the woman in front of him was familiar, thought of the introduction of the monkey, and suddenly remembered the familiar face on the TV, but compared to the glamorous and beautiful beauty host on the screen, the real person in reality seemed more plain, and suddenly remembered that this woman with the big name Li Rose was a celebrity who went out in Hehaishan District, her real name was Li Vanilla, after entering the entertainment industry, she changed her name to Li Rose, which is a typical acting and excellent singing, singing all the way to a well-known TV station across the country and becoming a famous entertainment program host. Qi Tianxiang is not very interested in the entertainment industry, especially disgusted with lace or gossip news in the entertainment industry, and his understanding of Li Rose is still an administrative case, so he pays attention to and studies it.
"Old monkey? He is not old, at best he is an amorous male monkey. "Li Rose is not called Editor-in-Chief Hou, Teacher Hou or Brother Hou, but directly called Lao Hou, such an ambiguous title in such an environment and such a place, it seems that you don't need to think much about it to know what it means.
Immediately, it was like a fly flying into Qi Tianxiang's mouth, making the disgusted words cold, like teasing, and like mocking, and immediately made the monkey and Li Rose blush.
Yan Li gently slapped Qi Tianxiang's arm, "Just met, your joke made Xiao Li embarrassed." ”
As he spoke, he said gently to the monkey, "Let's go!" There will be an opportunity to fight a war of words. ”
Although it was a little unpleasant, the arrival of the monkey still made Qi Tianxiang happy and excited, and when he walked out of the North Country Guest House, Qi Tianxiang let go of the hand holding the crook of the monkey's arm.
It is said that the North Country Guest House is defined for the urban pattern at that time, according to the past custom, out of the city gate are all suburbs, the current city scale is not only dozens of times larger than in the past, the city gate is gone, the concept of the suburbs no longer exists. The northern suburbs are not only inappropriate, but with the extension of the central area of the city, it has become the center of the urban center, and the real northern suburbs are afraid to go to the north bank of the Yellow River to find it.
In the bustling area of the city, in addition to bank outlets, pharmacies, there are large and small restaurants, hotels, these traditional high-profit industries, is the annotation and symbol of the city's prosperity, I am afraid it is an indisputable fact.
