Chapter Fifty-Four: The Biography of Sect Master Joe
Calm and repetitive life always passes quickly, and before you know it, the time has come to the end of July, and the height of summer is also at its most powerful.
During the day, even a few clouds were listless, and the scorching summer day rushed to the earth with a wild laugh without any hindrance. The steaming water vapor on the asphalt avenue, the cracked land that has lost greenery, and the large trees with scorched leaves on the outer edge, people are in a hurry, and umbrellas can't block ultraviolet rays, let alone the soaring heat.
Even at night, when the scorching sun turned into a sunset as warm as a sheep, and finally the last rays of afterglow were gone, people still couldn't feel a little cool, and even the night breeze was heated by the hot ground. Not only that, but people who hurriedly returned home turned on the air conditioner to expel the heat from the room, but the heat gathered outdoors again, as if there were clones of the sun in all directions, and no one could escape the fate of being steamed.
When it comes to air conditioning, every high-rise building in the city is full of energy at night, waiting for the arrival of a new day, swallowing the surging alternating current like a river, and spitting out the heat of the whole building from the sun and the human body. But the city is so crowded, they are like a group of people standing together and smoking, forever breathing smoke into each other's faces, and then breathing each other's exhaust fumes. Heat accumulation is the unsolvable heat island effect in the city.
When Song Zhiwen came back every day, he was as tired as a dog, and his shirt was soaked with sweat from the inside and out, as if he had been fished up in water. Even if Yang Guo cooked and chilled the mung bean soup for him, he still couldn't calm his envy, jealousy and hatred for Yang Guo's Youzai life.
In the face of such a hot weather, Yang Guo naturally will not take Qiqi out casually, and in recent days, he will only take Qiqi in the garden-like green area of the community in the early morning when the air is fresh and the sun is mild, so that she can see the natural landscape (although it is artificial), which is good for her brain development.
Usually the father and daughter stay at home, Qiqi either sleeps or plays with her toys, and Yang Guo seizes the time when Qiqi sleeps to work hard and study hard. Although it was very boring, Yang Guo didn't mind, he was originally an otaku!
In just two months, Yang Guo's bank card has been deposited with 200,000 yuan, if you add the money spent lavishly in the past two months, Yang Guo has already earned more than 220,000 yuan, which he didn't dare to imagine two months ago!
Of course, it doesn't mean that Yang Guo earns more than 200,000 yuan in two months means that he can earn 100,000 yuan a month, because these 200,000 yuan also includes the once-in-a-lifetime big order of 100,000 yuan in the first month! But even so, his efficiency in earning money is quite amazing.
With such a large amount of money in the bank card, Yang Guo was not in a hurry to spend it, because he already had a small idea about how to spend it, but now he has to earn a little more, just wait!
Today, Yang Guo didn't sit in front of the computer to work after feeding Kiki as before, and he planned to give himself a vacation today.
But even if it was a holiday, Yang Guo was not idle, he moved the baby rocking chair to the living room, let Qiqi lie on it to sleep, and he picked up the bed and quilt in the crib and stuffed it into the washing machine.
It's another sunny day, and Yang Guo plans to do a big cleaning! Although it is said that after moving to the Jinli community, Yang Guo often sweeps and mops the floor, but the real cleaning has not been done for a month, which makes Yang Guo, who has a little cleanliness habit, unbearable.
The washing machine in the bathroom was washing Qiqi's small quilt, Yang Guo picked up the mop, bent over and half-squatted on the ground, and wiped every corner of the living room, bedroom, and study spotlessly, and the floor was also polished. Where can you find such a good resident?
After washing Qiqi's small quilt and bed, Yang Guo carried it to the balcony of the living room with a bucket. The sun is shining on the balcony now, and even the pothos brought over is a little sluggish. Yang Guo wiped the guardrail and hung the small quilt and bed on it, so scorching sun, it is estimated that it will not take long to dry.
The main reason for washing Qiqi first was to let her cover her sleep early, and after washing her, Yang Guo also ripped off her towel quilt from her big bed and threw it into the washing machine. Because it was too hot, Yang Guo removed the mattress some time ago, leaving only a mattress, so he didn't have any bed to wash.
The washing machine didn't stop, it continued to make a roaring turning sound, Yang Guo didn't stop, he took a bucket of water out of the bathroom, and then began to wipe every plane in the room with a rag, coffee table, sofa, dining table, mat, desk, computer desk, etc., even the little space under the mouse pad He refused to let go, wiped it once and was not satisfied, and wiped it a second time.
If you think that Yang Guo is only this level of cleanliness, then you are very wrong. Cleaning means that almost everything in the house has to be cleaned, Yang Guo cleaned Qiqi's toys and utensils, and also washed every corner of the kitchen (including the range hood) clean, and he also squatted in the bathroom and painted the squatting pit of the toilet white and flawless.
After finishing his own house, Yang Guo was still not satisfied, he opened the door of the house and dragged the corridor that the cleaners had done well again. Seeing a little stain on the wall, he couldn't pretend not to see it, so he ran home, grabbed a brush and a rag, and fiddled with it for a long time, until he couldn't see a single dirty mark, and then stopped contentedly.
Although Yang Guojie's fetish is not serious, his strength and concentration in hygiene are simply outrageous! Song Zhiwen laughed at him before, he was sick and had to be cured! Yang Guo didn't bother to pay attention to him, in fact, it was a little obsessive-compulsive, and there was nothing bad about it anyway.
The cleaning was not completed until two o'clock in the afternoon, and the whole house was completely new, and Yang Guo was quite satisfied. After the hungry Yang Guo finished eating and feeding Qiqi milk, the father and daughter began to sleep in the afternoon. Because the bed was drying outside, Yang Guo had to lie on the sofa to sleep, the air conditioner was never turned on at home, the weather was hot, Yang Guo only turned on a fan, and he had to carefully avoid Qiqi.
When he woke up, the sun was already setting in the west, and Yang Guo took the quilt back and spread it again. He didn't dare to let Kiki sleep right away, knowing that the quilt that had just been dried was still wrapped in the hot poison of the sun, so let them cool down first.
After bathing his daughter, Yang Guo also got himself something to eat, and when he ate alone, he didn't make any tricks, he fried a simple plate of fried pork slices with broccoli, and he could eat the next meal. Sure enough, only when eating, do you feel a person's loneliness?
Sitting in front of the computer, Yang Guo opened the Yiyan website that he hadn't been on for a long time, the red page tone was still the same, and as soon as he opened it, Yang Guo saw a big notice on the homepage: "Dongxin Publishing House joins hands with Yiyan Network to recruit translators of "Jobs's Biography" from all over the world! (Some of them are pseudonyms, and everyone understands them.) )
As a die-hard fan of Sect Master Qiao, Yang Guo has also seen the news of Sect Master Qiao's official biography before, about two years ago, Sect Master Qiao asked biographer Isaacson to write a biography for himself, the latter is well-known in Western society in this industry, he used to be Benjamin? Franklin and Albert? Albert Einstein wrote an autobiography, and this time Jobs invited him, how could Yang Guo not look forward to it?
In the earlier news, it was rumored that Sect Master Qiao only provided materials and memories, and he did not interfere with a single word in the entire autobiography. You know, when he was the CEO of Apple, Sect Master Qiao was known as a tyrant, and the entire company must operate according to his will, even if it is the popular iPhone and IOS system all over the world, there is no place where the style is not designed according to his preferences!
To be able to do it without interfering at all, how difficult it is for Sect Master Qiao, who is accustomed to being high, and not changing a word, leaving his good or bad to be judged by the world, what kind of courage and confidence is this? Probably only a great person like Sect Master Qiao would have such a mind! (There is a suspicion of over-praise, but this is purely a personal opinion.) )
There is a famous writer Mark in the United States? Twain, who wrote many famous novels, essays, and poems in his life, the most well-known of which are his two children's "Tom? The Adventures of Sawyer and Huckleberry? The Adventures of Finn", both books can be said to be his masterpieces, and the latter has an important position in the history of the United States, Hemingway once said: "The whole modern United States comes from Mark? Twain's Huckleberry? The Adventures of Finn", which is one of our finest books, and no other book has come close to it since. "Visible Mark? How high Twain's status on the border of the United States was.
His works are full of Western-style humor, but the humor is full of criticism of social reality. His life was also mixed, and the early Mark? Twain had a good impression of slavery, and as his experience deepened, he gained a clearer understanding of the evil reality hidden on the surface of the prosperity of the United States. His Huckleberry? The Adventures of Finn" is listed as ** by the United States School because of the use of the word in it. Such a great writer was afraid that his autobiography would cause controversy in society, and in his posthumous will, he also required that his autobiography of more than 5,000 pages would not be published until a hundred years later.
Although Sect Master Qiao is well-known all over the world and has various titles, his style of doing things has also been criticized by many of his colleagues and subordinates, and he has also had a history of extramarital affairs that he didn't admit to death (and gave birth to a daughter), but he actually had the courage to make such a decision, how could Yang Guo not feel extremely admired? At that time, as soon as the news of "The Biography of Steve Jobs" came out, he had already made up his mind that as soon as the book was released, he would buy a copy and come back to read it carefully, so as to understand the secrets of the lives of the next generation of great men.
Now it seems that the opportunity is in front of us!
It seems that the publishing house is openly recruiting translators, and this kind of thing has never happened before, right?
And this time it's a translation of the biography of Sect Master Qiao, but I have the opportunity to get in touch with the original text! Didn't the announcement say it? The finalist will be one of the first less than 200 people in the world to read the book!
Just thinking about it, Yang Guo felt his blood boiling, what are you waiting for? There are only two days left until the registration deadline!
Yang Guo did not hesitate at all, resolutely clicked on the announcement, and filled in his resume. In addition to his resume, Yang Guo also filled out a questionnaire, which asked a lot about Apple's situation and some business knowledge, because it was related to Apple, Yang Guo was not very difficult to fill in. There should be several rounds of the selection process, but Yang Guo is already eager to try, and it is difficult and challenging!
"Next, let me meet this big battle!" Yang Guo confidently squeezed his fist.
