43. Chapter 43
Anti-theft and anti-theft~~ I'll wait for me to get off the live broadcast at 11 o'clock, and then change the official chapter for the little angels (〃'3′〃)
At 8:50, Qiao Zhengqi got up to attend the meeting, Yuan Lu probably knew what meeting he was going to attend, and when he just entered the library, there was a reminder of the master's and doctoral forum in the LED screen in front of the library.
Ma Li and G University have a docking and exchange project this year, Yuan Lu knows in his heart that Qiao Zhengqi is by no means an idle person, but he didn't expect that he was so young and less than thirty years old that he was already responsible for leading the team to communicate, usually when several aunts of the Qiao family mentioned Qiao Zhengqi in their words, they all had an expression with their eyes on the top of their heads, Yuan Lu heard it ambiguously, and could vaguely hear the meaning, but he didn't expect Qiao Zhengqi's title to be a full professor.
This is about the difference between capitalism and the domestic system, if you want to be rated as a professor in China, you can crush a piece of teaching experience alone, plus human contacts, the long-sleeved dancer will step on another piece, and when you get to the full professor, you will at least reach middle age.
If it weren't for Qiao Zhengqi's car being towed away by the school police because of illegal parking in front of the library, Yuan Lu wouldn't know that the three words "Qiao Zhengqi" are almost equivalent to a general killing order in the school administration office of G University.
The director of the logistics department gasped and rushed to pick up the car for Qiao Zhengqi, giving Qiao Zhengqi enough face, and even haha belt to make amends, Qiao Zhengqi showed a rare smile to deal with it, and the three-point smile on the corner of his lips was still two points of alienation.
"There are five minutes to go before the meeting starts, I'm not a person who likes to be late, can you ask Director Chen to find a suitable person to drive me for a ride now?" Qiao Zhengqi looked at his watch and frowned slightly.
Director Chen smiled so much that his face was squeezed together, and he hurriedly responded: "Who can be more familiar with the school than me?" If Professor Qiao doesn't mind, I'll send you there right away. ”
Qiao Zhengqi opened the car door, inserted the car key, and sat straight in the passenger seat, remembering that Yuan Lu was still there, and pressed the window to say to Yuan Lu outside the window: "Eat together at noon?" If there's nothing to do in the afternoon, I'll take you to the hospital. ”
Yuan Lu thought about it, and still had to sort out the opening question given by Luo Lu before, so he refused: "I'll go to grandma's later in the afternoon." After finishing speaking, he felt that such an answer was too stiff, so he added: "The meeting is smooth." Then Qiao Zhengqi raised the car window, and the Daben who was sitting on him finally disappeared completely from Yuan Lu's sight.
It's really awkward, the slow-burning self and the cold Qiao Zhengqi, from strange to familiar may be a very long process, she must spend several times more energy than the original familiar with Qiao's father and mother to get familiar with this "brother", at least before she really survives independently, she is still in Qiao's house during this time, she needs to fulfill this obligation to stay familiar.
Yuan Lu walked back to the dormitory for about ten minutes, but she didn't know that something big had happened in the dormitory during the two days when she went home for two days, and when Yuan Lu arrived at the dormitory, she heard that her roommate Yao Fei had been dissuaded by the school because she was found cheating in the final exam.
Yuan Lu was shocked when she learned the news, because Yao Fei was born in the northwest countryside, and she had seriously ill parents and a young brother at home, and she had always been the hardest and most diligent and humble one in the dormitory. With her ability, there is no need to cheat in the final exam, Yuan Lu knows that it is not easy for Yao Fei to go all the way from a backward small rural village in the northwest to the top university in the country.
Dissuasion to retire means that all her previous efforts have been wasted, and even this disgraceful stroke will be recorded in her personal file in the future, whether it is to find a job or continue her studies, the price is too heavy, Yao Fei and her family can't afford it at all, and the most severe consequences are clearly visible, that is, to completely smash a family that has struggled with poverty for more than 20 years and sees hope to be smashed, this is not persuasion, but the life of a family of four.
Yuan Lu still remembers that when she first entered school in her freshman year, Yao Fei's father, a middle-aged man who accidentally fell off a building and broke his leg because he was working at height on the construction site, sent Yao Fei to the dormitory with wooden crutches. His skin was dark and wrinkled, his nails were yellowed and dirty from shoddy smoke, and his only sound leg had been distorted by the perennial weight of his upper toe bone.
Such a father figure made Yuan Lu almost burst into tears the moment he saw him.
She thought of her own father, and how nice it would be if he could see that she was finally in college.
In Yuan Lu's subconscious, she always felt that Yao Fei was another self who was not favored by fate in the third year of junior high school, and maybe she finally went to G University by her own efforts, but behind her was the burden of a whole family, so she couldn't breathe at all.
Yuan Lu made more than 20 calls to Yao Fei in a row, and the calls were almost desperate, but the phone was still unanswered. However, what she feared most happened anyway, Yao Fei called her back, but it was the last goodbye call.
"Yuan Lu, I really don't want to die, but this time I really can't help it." Yao Fei's tone was unusually calm.
Yuan Lu's heart was drained of blood at once, and she tried her best to stabilize herself and try to ease Yao Fei's feelings: "Fei Fei, I just learned about you, where are you now?" I want to hear it from yourself, I don't believe what others say. ”
There was silence for a long time on the other end of the phone before a contemptuous laugh came out: "It doesn't make a difference when others say that I say it myself, but Yuan Lu thank you, and you are still willing to believe me at this time." ”
"You won't, you don't have to, Yao Fei, I know you."
"Yuan Lu, my hardships are far beyond your understanding, you won't and can't know, the truth is that I really cheated." Yao Fei took a breath of cold air, and there was a rustling sound in the microphone, and Yuan Lu could hear that she was standing in a windy place.
Yuan Lu quickly thought of the location on the top of the building, but the door on the roof of the dormitory has been sealed because of the last undergraduate jumping incident, and even the windows of the dormitory have been nailed so that they can only be pushed open at a 45° angle for ventilation.
So what can be concluded is that Yao Fei is not in this dormitory now.
Because she was afraid that the mobile phone signal would be interrupted when she took the elevator downstairs, Yuan Lu could only go down the stairs from the twelfth floor while comforting Yao Fei: "Why? With your ability to disdain it at all, maybe there is some misunderstanding in it? ”
Yao Fei asked rhetorically: "Why do you think I don't need or disdain?" Oh, probably because I'm the first to wake up and go to bed last in the whole dormitory every day, but Hara, sometimes some efforts are in vain. ”
Yuan Lu went downstairs quickly, and was heard by Yao Fei all the way without panting: "It's not worth it, Yao Fei, I understand what you said, you want to take the remaining three places in the courtyard to go abroad, but if you show your strength, you will definitely occupy one of the three places, and you don't need to take such a risk at all." ”
"Nothing is absolute, and people always have the psychology of luck and take risks, three places are too few, I don't know how many related households in the hospital can easily take the places without grades at all, I only do things foolproof, so that the last semester results to the first place in order to make the people in the hospital have nothing to do."
Yuan Lu was silent, if it wasn't for being blinded by such a desperate outlaw mentality, how could Yao Fei take this wrong step? Success is really too important for Yao Fei, and Yuan Lu can fully understand this strong and focused desire and ambition.
Finally walked to the first floor, Yuan Lu saw the floor sign only to find that her legs began to tremble because of the intermittent movement, she clenched her mobile phone and said: "Even if you don't go abroad, you can still find a good job after graduation, take a breath and get married and have children, isn't this all what you conceived before?" You've been working too yourself. ”
Yao Fei was obviously stunned, and it took a long time before responding: "Yes, if I hadn't worked so hard at the beginning, maybe I would have found a job now, and I would be able to pay off a lot of debts to my family during the Chinese New Year next year." ”
The sound of the wind coming out of the microphone is getting louder and louder, Yuan Lu carefully analyzed the environment Yao Fei was in on the phone, in addition to the strong wind, there is also an irregular sound similar to the rotation of a locomotive, the frequency is almost proportional to the rustle of the wind in the microphone, the wind is loud, the frequency is fast. Yuan Lu quickly remembered the windmill on the roof of the Geography Building, although he had never been there, he could see the windmill on the Geography Building every time he went back to class in the Shaw Building, and it was only seven or eight minutes away from the dormitory.
After analyzing it, Yuan Lu felt that it was very likely that Yao Fei was there, and gradually gained confidence, and he was a little less vigilant and restrained when talking to Yao Fei: "There are only a few months left to graduate, and the school is not an unkind place, have you told the teacher about the situation of your family?" Readers are the most likely to be compassionate, teachers they have been immersed in books for so many years, and they can better understand the difficulties of human feelings. ”
On the one hand, Yao Fei has extremely low self-esteem, but because of this, she has gone to the other extreme, too much to maintain her self-esteem. Yuan Lu guessed that some things fell into this situation, probably related to Yao Fei's character of hitting her teeth and swallowing her stomach, and she was reluctant to throw her most embarrassing side to the public. Even the annual poverty grant, she received it quietly, trying not to attract the attention of her classmates.
Yuan Lu continued: "Since it is only at the level of notice, not to the point of persuasion, and things still have a turnaround, if you really regard me as a friend, please accept my help, and let's reduce things to the least bad level together." ”
Yao Fei seemed to be a little moved by her, but she still hesitated stiffly: "Where can it be so easy to solve, I have no background and no connections, and people are soft-spoken, who can listen to me?" ”
Yuan Lu took a deep breath, completely dispelled the last trace of hesitation, and said: "I said that I am the same as you, we are all children from poor families, and we have suffered a lot, but please believe me, just like I believe in you, I will definitely be able to help you this time." ”
Yuan Lu walked to the top floor of the geography building, the door on the top floor was open, and the knife-like cold wind came in from the iron door, Yuan Lu finally saw the familiar figure under the windmill, she put down the mobile phone, her nose was sour, and she choked up and shouted at the figure: "Yao Fei, come back!" I'll do my best to help you! ”
Yao Fei's whole body seemed to be frozen at that moment, and he didn't turn around for a long time.
Yuan Lu stepped forward to her step by step, and finally hugged her tightly, and the two of them hugged each other and cried bitterly.
Yuan Lu looked at Yao Fei and felt that she was so wronged, she had worked so hard, and fate had to put her like this, who did this world want to live?
The windmill on the geography floor turned and turned, and the howling wind drew invisible swing marks from the edges and corners of the fan blades.
Yuan Lu raised his face and shed tears, picked up his mobile phone and pressed down a string of familiar and unfamiliar numbers.
