Chapter 355: Fame and Fortune

Zhuo Ling ate a sugar hawthorn with the kernel removed, and responded with some frustration: "You don't know this, do you?" I have inquired clearly, Wu Xing's father Wu Dongshan is ready to donate 5 million yuan to the library of the university next door, the librarian of the university next door is called Xie Soap, Xie Soap's wife Liu Ying is a planning expert in Jiangcheng City, and one of the judges responsible for reviewing the plan this time is Liu Ying. I heard that Liu Ying's words are quite weighty, if you can win him over and let her help say a few good words, it will be quite good. Wu Dongshan can't directly bribe Liu Ying, and he can't directly bribe Xie Soap, so he starts with Xie Soap's employer. Xie Soap is the director of the library next door, Wu Dongshan donated 5 million yuan to the library, even if Xie Soap can't keep all the money, but when this kind of official is a hand-to-hand oil, if the library purchases books, Xie Soap will get a little kickback, not to mention one or two hundred thousand. Moreover, the school knows that this money is in the account for Xie Soap, even if Xie Soap takes a little more, the school will not take this to Xie Soap. Of course, other school leaders must also share the spoils. In this way, Wu Dongshan's donation has achieved more purposes, not only currying favor with judge Liu Ying, but also letting the university next door fully support Wu Xing. In this way, Wu Xing's advantages are reflected. Compared with other poor students, who can spend money as hard as his family? Moreover, I heard that his family not only attacked the judge Liu Ying, but also other figures in all aspects are also in public relations, which means that Wu Xing is bound to win the championship. ”

Zhuo Ling said a lot of the news she had inquired about in the past few days, and the more she said it, the more she had no confidence, the more she said it, the more disappointed she was, and she felt sorry for Wang Xiao, it seemed that Wang Xiao had been squeezed out and buried her talent in the dark.

Wang Xiao listened to Zhuo Ling's explanation, and was quite shocked in his heart, a little understood, but he was also a little confused, and couldn't help but wonder and said, "Where did you hear this?" That's too complicated, isn't it? Is it worth it for a race? So much of a fight. Wu Xing even won the championship, and he didn't get a reward of five million, isn't this a loss-making deal? I see, are you overthinking? Wu Xing's father just wanted to donate money and do good deeds, and if he didn't think so much, it wouldn't be cost-effective. ”

Zhuo Ling hurriedly said: "Oh, say you are smart, you are confused in this kind of thing." I have also inquired about Wu Dongshan's details, that is, a businessman who made his fortune on real estate, it can be said that he is a nouveau riche, but this person is very shrewd, especially good at drilling, and has a close relationship with many political axe officials, but he never goes around publicly, and he is very low-key. This sudden large-scale action is certainly not as simple as it seems, and people like him will never make a loss-making transaction. I don't know what his intentions are, but if Wu Xing wins the championship, this intangible asset can add value to Wu Xing. Moreover, this planning contest is organized by the municipal axe, the purpose is to promote anti-corruption and clean government to fight the underworld forces by planning a crackdown on crime and anti-corruption party, and in the later stage, the planners will definitely be indispensable to contact the municipal axe departments to discuss the party matters, and then Wu Xing will be able to take this opportunity to build a good relationship with the municipal axe departments, and it is not difficult to do this with the financial resources of the Wu family, which will be of great benefit to Wu Xing's future development. As you know, if you want to do big business in the Celestial Empire, you must have a good relationship with the political axe agency. Once you have a good relationship with the political axe organs, you will get twice the result with half the effort when you start doing business. ”

"Well," Wang Xiao thought that Zhuo Ling's analysis was reasonable, but there was still a little bit that he didn't understand too much, so he asked: "But this is to plan a party to fight crime and eliminate corruption, aren't they blatantly contradicting it like this?" They are so bold to do this, once they are found out, how good can it be? Even if it is a joke to fight crime and eliminate corruption, it has always been just a reshuffle in the Celestial Empire, but at least stop a little at this time, right? ”

"You're stupid!" Zhuo Ling was a little angry. "There is a kind of debt called a debt of affection, do you understand? Those who are officials look at the Wu family's generosity, and of course they are willing to make friends with them, even if they can't receive benefits now, the rumors have passed, and they will definitely be indispensable. If the Wu family wanted to do business in Jiangcheng, they would definitely not dare to offend them. Moreover, what they do is hidden, others can't see the strangeness, and there is no way without evidence. For example, if you win over the judge Liu Ying, Wu Dongshan donated 5 million to the university library, which is a good thing that no one can say is wrong, but in fact, the transaction behind this is dirty, and anyone with a discerning eye can see it clearly at a glance, but even if it is clear, there is no way, people are willing to pay a lot of bribes, even if it is a few more detours, even if it is to pay more money, as long as the goal can be achieved safely, others cannot say that it is wrong, of course, it cannot be judged that this is a crime. Think about it, Wu Dongshan is now donating 5 million yuan to the university library, and wait until a year or two later for the library to purchase books. It's dark! ”

"Well, there's some truth." Wang Xiao nodded. "Your words remind me of a famous saying. Morality, how many sins are done in the name of you. There are a lot of things that are famous on the surface, but to put it bluntly, they are really dirty! Still, I hope on the bright side, it's impossible to say right now, right? ”

"You, it's just that your heart is too kind, and when this thing is done, it will be too late." Zhuo Ling was a little helpless at what Wang Xiao said. Wang Xiao is actually not stupid, he can see things clearly, but he just doesn't want to think about others in the worst way.

But in fact, in this cannibalistic society, many people are full of benevolence, righteousness and morality, but all of them are male thieves and female prostitutes. There are even more hateful ones, who not only do bad things with peace of mind, but also slander others as bad people. Anyone who is accustomed to seeing the world's strife can understand that putting a high hat on others and morally defeating their opponents is the most convenient way for wicked people to do bad things. Wang Xiao doesn't want to buckle people's hats, so he is a good person.

But such people will suffer.

You can't fight back every time you suffer a loss. If you can avoid a loss, of course, you should avoid a loss.

Therefore, you can't be too naΓ―ve in everything, and you should keep an eye on it.

"Well, you make me think about it." Wang smiled.

"Well, what else is there to think about?" Zhuo Ling sighed.

In Zhuo Ling's view, there is definitely no hope of winning the championship. Although Wang Xiao is very talented, he can't stop others from being rich. Nowadays, many talent shows, or any big competitions, are actually tricks played by rich people. Really powerful people may not be able to stand out, and those who can laugh to the end are often rich, have backgrounds, and have connections, and those who have nothing but talent are basically the first to be eliminated. This is the reality of the Celestial Empire.

Even many activities are tailor-made by rich people for themselves, in order to give their people a long face, add value, and show their majesty. Like any contest or the like, many of them pay for themselves, select themselves, and win their own awards.

If someone else pays for an event and can't win an award, is there still a reason in the world?

Others are not charitable, so why should they package an outsider, right?

What fairness, justice, openness, that's all nonsense!

Everyone in the Celestial Empire knows it.

Wang Xiao hasn't even figured this out yet, it seems that he rarely watches talent shows!

Zhuo Ling felt sorry for Wang Xiao.

Wang Xiao lowered his head and was silent, but he didn't think about it, he felt that there was nothing to think about it, but his starting point was different from Zhuo Ling. Zhuo Ling thinks that there is a secret trick in this, and Wang Xiao must not be able to fight against it, so Wang Xiao has nothing to think about when he dreams of winning the championship. But Wang Xiao thought that Zhuo Ling had already made it clear, and there was really nothing to think about.

The reason why he said let him think about it was actually very simple, that is, he had already eaten the rock sugar gourd, and Zhuo Ling patronized and said a lot of words, and he hadn't eaten a few rock sugar gourds yet! It's summer now, the weather is relatively hot, and the rock sugar gourd should be eaten quickly, otherwise the sugar on it will melt, and the sugar coating will naturally not be delicious. Wang Xiao wanted Zhuo Ling to finish the rock sugar gourd quickly, so he said that he should think about it.

When Zhuo Ling was eating the rock sugar gourd, Wang Xiao thought to himself: "Although my Xiao Li Flying Knife is powerful, I can't use the Xiao Li Flying Knife to pierce someone's heart just because others offered bribes." It seems that it is really not a simple matter to eradicate evil and uphold justice! ”

"I always feel that novels, films, and the like have simplified or symbolized the contest between justice and evil, mainly to express a spirit. But if you want to really eradicate evil, where is it as simple as fighting directly by force? If you kill someone when you see them, I am afraid that justice will not help you, but you will become evil first. ”

"Justice, what is this thing? I can't tell. But if it is to uphold justice, I believe that people must support your actions, and if others are more upset about what you are doing, then your actions must be some distance away from justice. If I want to get people's support, I can't blindly be a good person, I can't think of others too badly, nor can I think of others too well. ”

"A person can only achieve perfection if he does everything he does and does not let the bad guys hurt or the good guys. Although I am a person who wants to become a god, I cannot generalize with mortals, but I must do it impeccably, so that the world can be convinced. This kind of impeccable nature is not that I am completely flawless, but that I can properly control it. It's like an ordinary person who wants to kill someone, but just thinks about it and doesn't really kill someone, then it can't be considered a crime, and it can't be convicted because of this. ”

In the same way, even if I am a good person, I can't just look at others with good intentions, like some people with bad intentions, we should be wary of it. There's nothing wrong with that, one can't hurt others, but one has to protect oneself as well. If I'm cheated by the bad guys, I'm going to look stupid. If I seem stupid, how can the world believe in me? An unlucky rotten good person can only be ridiculed! ”

"Think about it, if you can't even protect yourself, how can you protect the world? People in the world don't believe in the weak, and if I want people to believe, I have to become strong. The so-called strong must not only have the strength to fight against others, but also have the wisdom to fight against others. The wisdom of fighting against people, of course, includes, beware, confirming, fighting back, and so on. Therefore, I have three points of doubt about people, and it does not detract from the fact that I am a good person. ”

"In short, I still have to learn to adapt and use some necessary scheming and means, only in this way can I establish a perfect image, wisdom, power, justice, so that the world can believe and become a true god."

After some thought, Wang Xiao thought that he should deal with this matter according to Zhuo Ling's conjecture.

"Don't be too upset!" Zhuo Ling finished eating the rock sugar gourd, threw the bamboo sticks into the trash can near the gate, took out a few facial tissues, handed some to Wang Xiao, and comforted Wang Xiao. "Even if you don't win the championship, you can definitely win the runner-up. With your talent, those people can't mess around too much. At that time, you will also be able to participate in the planning and organization of the party, although it is much worse than the reputation and income of the champion, but it is okay. How many poor students with no background can't even get such an opportunity! I believe that you, a little bit of progress, will definitely get ahead. Down-to-earth, slow efforts, will always get through. ”

There was some regret in Zhuo Ling's tone, but it was also full of encouragement to Wang Xiao. Wang Xiao was very moved when he heard it, although he felt that the situation was not so miserable, but Zhuo Ling's support was still a rare heart. When a person thinks you are difficult, whether you are really difficult or not, you should know this child's affection. Wang Xiao now has a godhead, but he has not lost his surname, and his heart is still surging with blood. Therefore, Zhuo Ling's words made him feel very warm.

Wang Xiao took the tissue handed over by Zhuo Ling, there was a faint fragrance on it, and I don't know if it was the tissue that was originally there, or if it brought Zhuo Ling's body fragrance, it smelled strange anyway. Wang Xiao wiped his mouth with a tissue, wiped his hands again, wiped off the sugar stains on it, and said indifferently: "Well, let's go back to the dormitory, it's not too early." ”

Wang Xiao and Zhuo Ling walked towards the dormitory.

The Houshan dormitory is a newly built dormitory building of the school, and there is no boundary between the boys' dormitory and the girls' dormitory. However, now Zheng Fei has moved to live outside the school.

"Wang Xiao, Zhuo Ling!" Suddenly, a girl's surprise screamed from behind.

The two looked back and saw that it was Chen Xue who called them.

Chen Xue worked in Xiaoxiao Fast Restaurant during the summer vacation, and it was the evening when she returned to the dormitory from work, so she bumped into Wang Xiao and Zhuo Ling. Chen Xue was very excited when she saw Zhuo Ling and Wang Xiao, and hurriedly ran two steps to follow, and said with a smile: "What a coincidence, what are you two doing, you two can't sleep at night and come out for a walk together!" ”

Zhuo Ling said lightly: "Let's talk about something." ”

Chen Xue continued to laugh and said: "Oh, it's a conversation, I almost missed two words, I thought you were talking about love!" ”

Zhuo Ling still said lightly: "No." ”

Wang Xiao changed the topic and said, "Chen Xue, you got off work so early?" There are a lot of people eating now, I think Boss Han should extend his business hours, and I will talk to him when I have time. ”

Chen Xue pretended to be angry and said: "You dare to say, I will beat you." ”

As Chen Xue spoke, she slapped Wang Xiao with a fist. Wang Xiao didn't want to dodge, but was hit firmly in the chest. Zhuo Ling watched from the sidelines, her eyes showing envy, but she couldn't do this kind of thing to slap Wang Xiao with her fists. At this time, she suddenly had a strange idea, she thought that there was nothing wrong with Chen Xue doing this kind of thing, but if she did it, it would be very wrong.

Why is that?

Is it just because they have different surnames?

Zhuo Ling couldn't figure it out.

It could be that she is not used to being close to people.

When others are lively and close, she can only watch quietly from the sidelines. Sometimes, this feeling makes her enjoy. But sometimes, it makes her feel bad. Now, for example, she doesn't feel so good.

Zhuo Ling felt that she shouldn't feel this way, but she understood that she did.

Reason can control people's bodies, but they can't control people's hearts.

"Hey, Wang Xiao, let me tell you, you have to thank Zhuo Ling. In the past few days when you went to the capital, she came to Xiaoxiao fast restaurant every day to eat. I thought she liked to eat from restaurants, but now I know it's not. She wants to know if you're back! You see, I just told her that you were back not long after, and you and she were talking about things here, and I'm sure she called you out, right? Hmph, I know. I can see it a long time ago, her face is not good these days, she must have something to tell you, but she doesn't want to disturb your sweet relationship with Zheng Fei in the capital...... Well, what the hell is going on? Is it difficult to plan the contest? I heard that Wu Xing from the university next door is quite popular, you guys were talking about this just now, right? You see, I knew I was right. I asked Zhuo Ling, she still didn't want to tell me, who doesn't know about this matter now? Donate five million at once, God, I don't know if I can earn five million in my life! I'm going to try my luck tomorrow with a lottery ticket. Chen Xue chattered for most of the day, and sure enough, she didn't work in a restaurant in vain, and she knew a lot of gossip.

"Then you don't know anything, so why don't you tell me?" Wang Xiao asked.

After Wang Xiao returned to Jiangcheng, he went to Xiaoxiao fast food restaurant, mainly to inquire about the progress of the construction of the vegetable base. Chen Xue worked in a Xiaoxiao fast food restaurant and had seen him. Therefore, Chen Xue was able to tell Zhuo Ling the news of Wang Xiao's return. Otherwise, by the time Wang Xiao knows about this, I'm afraid it will be a few more days. He has a lot to do!

"Me, I'm not busy with work, am I?" Chen Xue quibbled, and suddenly shifted his gaze and said, "It's not that I didn't take it to heart and didn't tell you, didn't I leave a chance for Zhuo Ling." If I told you, then she couldn't tell you. If she tells you again, it won't work. Do you blame her for not telling you in time? Then I'd be guilty of doing something wrong. You say, right? After all, the two of you still have to work together, and you can't make a fuss. ”

Zhuo Ling's face turned red.

Although Chen Xue sensed that the atmosphere was wrong and quickly added at the end, Zhuo Ling's face was already red.
