Cheng Tianle is not his scientific name, the name written on his ID card is Cheng Yule, but this scientific name is almost never used except for applying for various documents, and even he has forgotten himself. Whenever someone asked him what his name was, he would reply with a smile: "My name is Cheng Tianle." ”

Cheng Tianle's name has quite a story. His great name "Cheng Yu Le", according to his father, was given by a "master" who was very status, very learned, and proficient in metaphysics shortly after he was born, and came from a sentence from the sage -- "Flourish in poetry, stand in ceremony, and become happy." Later, Cheng Tianle flipped through the "Analects" and found that Confucius really said this, and it seems that what his father said is not true.

Before going to school, children generally use nicknames at home or in kindergarten, and his nickname Prologue (below), Hulu Ancient Temple, into unintentional music is called Le Le, and the pronunciation is joyful music, which is different from the pronunciation of the daimyo method. On the first day of his first grade of elementary school, the homeroom teacher called him by name, and he didn't know whether he was dazzled or too casual, so he shouted, "Cheng Tianle!" ”

The teacher immediately called the three words wrong, "Yu" was read as "heaven", and the "music" of music was read as "music" of joy. The name was so amusing that the whole class laughed, even the homeroom teacher herself. Children often have nicknames in school, so "Cheng Tianle" has become the nickname of Cheng Yule's classmates without suspense, and almost no one usually calls him by his scientific name anymore.

Other people's nicknames are just nicknames, but Cheng Yule's nickname has become his name, coupled with his smirking look all day long, it is definitely like his name. The teacher's name is wrong, it has happened more than once from elementary school to university, and even a few times, Cheng Yule himself was confused, and he also wrote his name as "Cheng Tianle" on the exam paper, but the teacher didn't find out!

However, Cheng Yule is not completely confused, at least he didn't write his name wrong in the college entrance examination, although his college entrance examination results are very poor, but the name on the test paper is the prologue (below), Hulu Ancient Temple, and Cheng Wuxin Joy is the same. In addition, he is usually called Cheng Tianle, which is not a pen name, a pseudonym or a simple nickname, but a habit that has been used over time. There is an example that is not an exaggeration, the buddy who once lived with him for two years did not know that his scientific name was not Cheng Tianle.

Cheng Tianle took the college entrance examination in Dalian, Liaoning Province, and only scored more than 300 points, and the results were quite miserable. But you can't underestimate his "study experience", before Cheng Tianle took the college entrance examination, he had a year of tutoring; Before attending cram school, I had more than two years of study abroad experience in Europe. In this way, he can be regarded as a returnee.

Cheng Tianle's academic performance is very poor, and the answers he writes on the exam papers are just like his name, and mistakes have become natural. After graduating from junior high school, his parents found someone to spend sponsorship money to get him to a fairly good high school, and when he was about to graduate from high school, his parents knew not to expect this baby son to have any success in the college entrance examination.

Nowadays, newspapers often have large pages and multiple pages of study abroad introductions, and there are also a variety of study abroad agencies, and they often hold study abroad lectures in high-end hotel rental venues. Through an acquaintance's introduction, his parents contacted an intermediary agency and sent their baby son to study in Germany as soon as they gritted their teeth. At that time, his father was still in the leadership position of a small state-owned housing development enterprise, and the family's economic conditions were not bad.

According to the arrangement of the intermediary, Cheng Tianle's study abroad plan is to study in a language school for one year, and then study for a preparatory department in accordance with the admission requirements of local German universities, and then be admitted to the university to continue his studies. If you can stay in Europe and work, it will not only solve the burden for your family, but also for the country.

Unfortunately, although the assumptions are well depicted, the facts are completely different things. Cheng Tianle studied at a language school called Oaksburg in Germany for two years, and did not even enter the university preparatory department, and in the third year, the language school was banned and closed down by the local authorities. He came back with many other children who had similar experiences, including his cousin Bruce Lee.

His cousin's name is really Bruce Lee, and he has the same name as the international kung fu superstar, and the names of both brothers are quite interesting.

Recalling the experience of studying in Europe for more than two years, it is like a domestic intermediary agency and foreign stakeholders have made a set, and Cheng Tianle has spent a lot of money in vain. But on the other hand, it is also to blame Cheng Tianle for not being angry, he is still the kind of grade in high school in China, and when he leaves the control of his parents and teachers abroad, can he still be expected to be inexplicably and spontaneously reborn, study hard, and make progress every day? Parents hope so, but this hope is too naïve.

When he went to language school in Germany, he was happy all day long, and he didn't know what he was thinking in class. He shared a house with classmates from China, the landlord is also Chinese, and the friends he usually makes with are also Chinese, and after more than two years of study abroad experience, he didn't even learn German, and he almost forgot it after returning to China.

In the same group of children who have just graduated from high school in Germany as Cheng Tianle, there are also people who have passed the language barrier and entered the university after completing the preparatory department, but the proportion of such children is very small, five or six out of a hundred are good, and most of the others are equivalent to spending their family's money to travel to Europe.

Cheng Tianle's study abroad career cannot be said to be completely fruitless, at least he lived in a very "economical" way and went to many places in Europe. His parents gave him about 600 euros a month for his living, he paid rent, ate, mingled with children from China, traveled with them, and traveled to Paris.

Unfortunately, a few days after his arrival in Paris coincided with another strike by the local sanitation department. Whenever someone asks Cheng Tianle about his impression of Paris, the legendary capital of art and flowers, Cheng Tianle's most emotional answer is: "The streets are full of garbage, and there are too many cigarette butts!" ”

After returning from Europe, his parents have also retired, and the family's financial conditions are far from what they used to be, and the future of his son has become a big headache. At this time, a friend of his cousin-in-law happened to run a cram school for the college entrance examination, so he sent him to take the college entrance examination for a year.

Cheng Tianle can draw, from elementary school to junior high school, he studied painting in the local children's palace. I don't say what the level of painting is, but compared with children of the same age, this is still a "specialty" that he can show his hands. After being introduced by an acquaintance, Cheng Tianle came to Shanghai, studied for three years in the art and design major of Huaxia College affiliated to Donghua University, and finally got a college diploma.

At the beginning of this century, many universities expanded their enrollment and changed their names, such as China Textile University, which was renamed Donghua University, and the so-called Huaxia College was a secondary branch of its merger. Cheng Tianle's grades can only be studied in junior college even here, and the tuition fee is not cheap, but it is not difficult to mix up a graduation certificate, and the difficult thing is to find employment after graduation.

After graduating, Cheng Tianle applied for jobs in several advertising companies in line with the principle of professional counterpart, but also handed in his works and got interview opportunities, and used design software to make a few creative drawings, but he didn't get a formal job.

I didn't find a job for my professional counterpart, Cheng Tianle studied for so many years and spent so much money on his family, and he really couldn't go home cheekily to continue to gnaw on his parents, he thought with a smile: "I have also been to so many places and read books for so many years, there is always a way to eat." ”

So Cheng Tianle stayed in Shanghai, shared a house with his college classmates who graduated together, and got a job at Pizza Hut - cutting pizza in the back kitchen. In his spare time, he also introduced to his classmates, and occasionally helped people do some design, do odd jobs and earn some pocket money, but he could also eat a mixed meal.

Half a year has passed like this, and it is time to pay the rent for the second half of the year, Cheng Tianle is a little worried, do you still have to call your parents to ask for money? It's not easy to talk about this, but I told my family on the phone - I am very good in Shanghai, I have a place to live and a job, and I don't have to worry about eating and drinking.

Just when he was in a difficult situation, it was really time to run, and a friend who had not been in touch for a long time suddenly called him, his tone was full of confidence, his attitude was full of enthusiasm, and he was very concerned about him, which made Cheng Tianle very moved. This person's name is Yu Fei, and he once studied in Germany with Cheng Tianle for two years, as far as Cheng Tianle knows, Yu Fei's family background is average, and the burden of studying abroad is not easy.

Yu Fei often skipped classes at a language school in Germany, and later moved in with another girl from China, and did not break up until he returned to China. After returning to China, Cheng Tianle left him contact information, but there was no news in the past few years, but at this time he suddenly called, Yu Fei looked very busy, each call was three or five minutes, but he was very concerned about Cheng Tianle's recent situation.

After talking on the phone for three days, Cheng Tianle probably learned that Yu Fei was now engaged in a very large and promising career. On the fourth day, Yu Fei finally said his purpose-

Yu Fei is a senior executive at a multinational company in Suzhou, which is about to set up a new business unit to focus on foreign trade cooperation with Europe. He wanted to invite Cheng Tianle to Suzhou to be the business director of the department, with a very high salary, very good salary, and great development prospects. The reason why Yu Fei thought of Cheng Tianle was because the company was looking for a young talent like Cheng Tianle, who had studied in Europe and was full of vigor and vitality. On the other hand, they also have a friendship of studying together in Europe, and this position is the most suitable for him.

Cheng Tianle didn't think much about it, and only asked: "Do you care about eating and living?" ”

Yu Fei laughed on the phone: "Of course! We have dormitories and staff cafeterias, and the treatment is very good. As long as you work for a few years and make achievements, the bonus can be millions! ”

Cheng Tianle didn't dare to think about millions of bonuses, and he didn't expect the profession of business supervisor, but at this time, someone introduced him to a job and took care of food and housing, and Cheng Tianle immediately packed his luggage and went to report. It is very convenient to get from Shanghai to Suzhou, and it only takes 25 minutes by high-speed rail.

Before coming to Suzhou, Cheng Tianle never thought about whether he had encountered a pyramid scheme? Although he occasionally read reports of pyramid schemes on the Internet and in newspapers, Cheng Tianle didn't pay much attention to it, as if it was just an entertainment story and was far away from him. When Yu Fei called him, Cheng Tianle didn't expect that he was lying to himself, what was there to deceive a person like Cheng Tianle?

Cheng Tianle arrived at Suzhou Railway Station and sent a text message to Yu Fei, and Yu Fei came after more than ten minutes. Yu Fei is not alone, there is a woman beside him, in her early twenties, although she is dressed a little plainly, her figure and appearance are not bad. As soon as Yu Fei saw Cheng Tianle, he stepped forward and introduced: "This is our company's assistant president, Miss Liu, who just came back from studying in the United States. As he spoke, he snatched Cheng Tianle's travel bag and carried it on his shoulder.

Cheng Tianle was about to say no, but the girl had already smiled and stretched out her hand and said, "Manager Cheng, hello, my name is Liu Shujun, it's a pleasure to meet you!" From now on, we will be colleagues. She blinked her sparkling eyes and looked at him with affection.

This made Cheng Tianle a little embarrassed, wiped the sweat on his palms on his clothes, and smiled and stretched out his hand to shake each other: "Hello, my name is Cheng Tianle, please take care of me!" ”

At this time, Yu Fei, who was carrying a bag, picked up the phone and shouted to someone: "Why can't the car come over?" …… What the? …… Can't fix it today? ”

The girl named Liu Shujun explained: "Mr. Yu's car broke down on the way, and it seems that it can't be repaired today." ”

Yu Fei said again: "This afternoon, the company's business study, there is no one to go, Manager Cheng is the first time to come to Suzhou, it is better to find a place to have a good walk, and have a meal by the way." ”

Cheng Tianle still laughed and said, "I don't care, you can do anything." ”

Liu Shujun echoed enthusiastically: "Okay, it's my honor to go shopping with a handsome guy like Manager Cheng!" Let's go to Shantang Street, tourists from other places only know the gardens of Suzhou, but they don't know that the water town alleys are the essence of Suzhou's scenery. ”

In this way, the three of them came to Shantang Street. Cheng Tianle was embarrassed to let Mr. Yu Fei carry his bag, but Liu Shujun held his arm and said, "You just let Mr. Yu carry the backpack, and I will accompany your handsome guy to have a good look." ”

Although Yu Fei's car broke down on the road, he didn't look like a big boss who had made a fortune, but Cheng Tianle came to Suzhou for the first time, and as soon as he got out of the car, someone enthusiastically helped him carry his luggage, and a beautiful woman changed his arm to walk around the scenery of the thousand-year-old Shantang Street, and a handsome guy called out at a handsome point. When he crossed the Qingshan Bridge and came to the front of Pufu Temple, Cheng Tianle couldn't help but feel a little fluttering.

What Yu Fei and Liu Shujun are doing now is called "picking up new friends" according to the jargon of the MLM gang. When visiting Suzhou, the most well-known for outsiders is, of course, the garden, why did they bring Cheng Tianle to this Shantang Street? In fact, every time this gang "picks up new friends", they have to bring people to visit the scenery of the mountain pond.

On the one hand, it is because the place where the gang gathers is not too far away, and on the other hand, for more important reasons, Qili Shantang Street is not only a place where Suzhou's cultural accumulation and water town scenery converge since ancient times, but also it doesn't cost money to go shopping!
