Chapter II
Rong Ziyi went downstairs, and before he could see clearly, a soft and refreshing body rushed towards him, and his two arms hung around his neck, refusing to let go. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info he was afraid that she would fall, so he hurriedly held on. This is his little half-sister Rong Zifan. The age difference between the two is more than ten years, but Zifan is kind and lively by nature, treats people warmly, respects and admires his eldest brother, and likes to be close to him very much. She put her arms around his neck and sobbed, "Big brother, we look forward to your return every day!" Father, father he ......"
Rong Ziyi patted her on the back lightly and said softly: "Don't cry, don't cry." ”
"Big brother just came back, tired. Don't pester him. This is Rong Zixiao's voice. He had just come back from outside, and before he took off his coat, he took two steps and pulled Rong Zifan away without saying anything. But he hugged Rong Ziyi. He still had the cold air outside, but the hug was full of sincerity and warmth.
Rong Zifan immediately turned his grief into anger, and pushed Rong Zixiao hard, but his head drilled into Ziyi's arms, and muttered: "Big brother is mine." ”
Rong Ziyi couldn't cry or laugh, and hugged both of them in his arms: "Okay, you two, why are you still children's tempers." ”
Wu Yuzhen and Rong Zizhong stood behind them, and they couldn't help but smile when they saw this scene.
"Ah Xiao has grown a lot taller than the last time I saw him, almost as tall as Ah Zhong." Rong Ziyi looked Zixiao up and down: "Well, the temperament is also a lot more stable." My wife said that she was helping the family and had really become an adult. ”
The three brothers of the Rong family are all tall and straight, the difference is that Ziyi is elegant and has a strong bookish atmosphere, Zizhong is handsome and quiet, while Zixiao is vivid and clever, and the sun is much more positive. Zixiao is the most similar to his father Rong Bin among the brothers, and like his father, he is kind and energetic.
"What about me? I've grown taller too. Zifan was a little dissatisfied.
Ziyi smiled and said: "Yes, we Fanfan not only grew taller, but also became beautiful, and became a big girl." ”
"Of course. I've already started preparing for the college entrance exam, and I'll be a college student next year. ”
"Oh?" Rong Ziyi was quite interested: "Which university are you applying to?" ”
Rong Zifan glanced at Wu Yuzhen and said, "I originally wanted to go to you and apply to the University of Hong Kong." But my mother wouldn't let me leave her. ”
Wu Yuzhen hurriedly said: "Your character, no one cares about it, how good is it." Of course I have to keep you around. ”
"I'll go to Hong Kong, and my eldest brother can take care of me."
Rong Zixiao said: "The eldest brother is more accustomed to you than his mother. He won't complain when you go to the house to uncover the tiles, and I'm afraid he will say that you did a good job. So, it's safer for you to stay in Shanghai. ”
Rong Zifan glanced at Zixiao: "I just want to stay away from you, so I don't want to stay in Shanghai." ”
"No kidding! You just want to play somewhere else doesn't care. ”
"Alright." Wu Yuzhen hurriedly stopped: "You brothers and sisters, how can you quarrel when you meet." ”
Rong Ziyi said: "Which university is Fan Fan going to apply to?" ”
Rong Zixiao and Zifan replied in unison, "St. John's University." ”
Hearing this, Rong Zizhong looked at Ziyi with a smile, and Ziyi didn't feel smiling.
The three of them didn't feel strange when they saw that the expressions of the two people were different.
Zifan asked, "Big brother, what are you laughing at?" ”
"I laugh, you still want to defect to me."
"Huh? What the? ”
Rong Ziyi said: "I have accepted the invitation of St. John's University and been hired as a professor in the School of Economics of their school. ”
The same thing, the next day, when Rong Ziyi visited his uncle Yang Renjie, he also said it again.
Unlike the Rong family's sincere happiness, Yang Renjie frowned and said nothing.
"Could it be that my uncle disagrees with my decision?" Rong Ziyi still respects Yang Renjie very much. Not only because of blood and family, but also because of Yang Renjie's careful care for him over the years.
"Why did you suddenly decide to go back to Shanghai?" Yang Renjie asked rhetorically.
"It wasn't a sudden decision. Actually, I've been thinking about this all along. I also discussed it with my father earlier, and he really wanted me to come back, but it's a pity that ......" Rong Ziyi didn't go on, but unfortunately, my father couldn't see it anymore. "In the past few years, I have been invited to give lectures in various places, traveled a lot, and seen too many people and things. The more I experience, the more I miss this place, and I hope to return to Shanghai and contribute to the country and the city. After all, this is the place where I was born and raised. Coincidentally, some time ago, I met Principal Bu in Europe and invited me to return to Shanghai to teach. Since you have to come back sooner or later, you might as well come back early. ”
"Are you going to stay at the university? Didn't think about doing something else? ”
"My major and research topic is economics, and I teach at the School of Economics, so I think I can pass on my knowledge and apply what I have learned. Does my uncle think that this is not for me? ”
Yang Renjie said: "It's not that I don't want you to go back to Shanghai. When people are old, they want their relatives to be by their side. What's more, whether it is Hong Kong or Europe, war is also on the verge of breaking out, and there is no security anywhere. I'm relieved that you're closer to me. It's just that, I think, with your knowledge and fame, it's a bit overkill to nest on campus. You can do much more. I've already thought of one for you, and it's much better than your position in the school, but I don't know what your intentions are. ”
"Uncle means ......"
"Now that the new government is in the early stages of formation, Chairman Wang is looking for talents. If they had known that you had returned to Shanghai, the invitation would have been on your desk long ago. You said that if you want to do your part for the country, wouldn't working in the government be more ambitious? ”
Seeing Rong Ziyi groaning, Yang Renjie said again: "Regarding your future, I have always had different views from your father. Your father wants you to be a pure scholar and enjoy your campus life. As everyone knows, in this troubled world, how can there be a peaceful place, a quiet place, who can be alone? With your ability, if you seek a half-official position, the future will be limitless. ”
Since Rong Ziyi's mother died and Wu Yuzhen married into the Rong family, the relationship between Yang Renjie and Rong Bin has deteriorated. It is only because of Rong Ziyi's maintenance that he maintains a superficial politeness. And for more than a year, because Yang Renjie served in the new government, the two had a big quarrel, almost openly exchanged enemies, and no longer interacted. Rong Ziyi is caught in the middle, often in a dilemma.
"Uncle is also thinking about you. You have read thousands of books, traveled thousands of miles, seen a lot of knowledge, and your vision is naturally broader than your father's. Economics and politics have never been separated. At this stage of the war, the only way to save the country's remaining economic strength and save the people from fire and water is to achieve political stability. I am different from your father, and I do not conspire with each other. He scolded me for betraying the country for glory, and I also said that he didn't know the general situation. He is a hypocrite, he has always been inconsistent, full of benevolence and morality, and he actually ......" Seeing Rong Ziyi's ugly face, Yang Renjie stopped and said: "Forget it, the dead are the greatest, I won't say that he is not." It's just that you have to make your own judgment about people and things, and don't be deceived by those people. In addition......" Yang Renjie muttered: "Also, what do you think about the Rong family's family business?" ”
