A red banner hangs at the entrance of the teaching building - "1986 Shanghai University of Finance and Economics Baoyan Pilot". Looking at the banner, Zhao Haiying smiled slightly and walked into the teaching building. When he walked into the small conference room used for the interview, he couldn't help but smile secretly when he saw that the other students who had been waiting for a long time had nervous expressions. Zhao Haiying is not here, he is ready to mess up this interview.

Sure enough, when Zhao Haiying finished elaborating on the paper with a calm expression, Professor Xu Jingzhi, one of the interview examiners, had already changed his face and asked him: "What is this thing you wrote?" Classical Chinese? Did you study literature, or did you study economics? Zhao Haiying secretly rejoiced, all this is developing according to his own expectations. He looked at ease, and continued to anger the examiner according to the words he had already thought of: "Professor, I have been interested in classical Chinese recently, so I wrote this paper in classical Chinese. The head of the department wanted to play a round and asked him: "Zhao Haiying, I have read your paper carefully, and the expression of classical Chinese has indeed affected the clarity and depth of your argument analysis, so it is no wonder that Professor Xu is so angry." I don't want to ask you more questions about the thesis, I only have one question, why do you want to continue your graduate studies in our department? ”

Zhao Haiying decided to tell the truth: "I really haven't decided whether to continue to study as a graduate student in this department, but because my grades are eligible for the guarantee, I came to ......."

Before Zhao Haiying finished speaking, Professor Xu stood up suddenly, dropped the glasses in his hand, and walked away. The head of the department also rolled his eyes from the edge of his glasses and looked at him, and said unhappily, "That's all for the interview, you can go." Zhao Haiying stood up and bowed while apologizing, and walked out of the small conference room.

As soon as I went out, I met Xie Tianyang. Xie Tianyang laughed at Zhao Haiying with a hippie smile and said, "I saw Professor Xu's face turned green with anger just now, you are too capable." Although the professor's reaction made Zhao Haiying feel a little guilty, it also achieved the result he wanted, and his mood was still happy. Therefore, Zhao Haiying just smiled and didn't answer Xie Tianyang's stubble: "Hey, have you seen Chen Menglei?" Xie Tianyang shook his head. Then I won't tell you, let's go first. I'm going to my grandmother's house today, and I'm too late to catch the boat. ”

Thinking of her grandmother, Zhao Haiying remembered her best sweet and sour short ribs, as well as the love of her grandmother's family for him. Sun Mingfang's mother is named Sun Mingfang, her lover was seriously ill back then, she didn't have a job, and she had several children; In order to help her, her father Zhao Guoping asked her grandmother to help bring Zhao Haiying. However, Sun Ma really treats him as her own son, not to mention Sun Ma's own son and good brother Qian Chunsheng. Thinking that his grandmother's family must be eagerly looking forward to him, Zhao Haiying couldn't help but speed up his pace.

At dusk, there are more people coming home from work in the old alleys of Shanghai, some people are carrying side dishes, some people are carrying steaming buns, and the bicycle bells are constantly ringing, and there is a noisy atmosphere of life. Qian Chunsheng, who was dressed in a suit, walked to the entrance of the alley and gently touched a person in a black coat with a brim pressed on his hat. The man in black vigilantly observed the surroundings, and followed Qian Chunsheng into the depths of the alley not far away.

In the depths of the alley, Qian Chunsheng stopped, took out a cigarette, and prepared to light it. It happened that the neighbor Aunt Wang was passing by, and Chunsheng said hello to her. Seeing Aunt Wang walking by, the man in black took two steps to Chunsheng's side: "Borrow a fire?" Qian Chunsheng handed him a box of matches, and when he lit a cigarette, Chunsheng lowered his voice and asked, "Where are the things?" The man in the black coat handed the match to Qian Chunsheng along with an envelope. Qian Chunsheng glanced at it, quickly stuffed it into his bag, took out another envelope and stuffed it into the man's hand. Then, the man in black turned and quickly left.

Qian Chunsheng looked around, found nothing abnormal, and walked home. As soon as he entered the house, he put a plastic bag on the table: "Sister, sister, I brought the roast goose made by the chef of their hotel for you to taste." The eldest sister Qian Dongmei responded and walked in with sweet and sour chops: "Chunsheng, you're back." Spending money again? When she heard her brother say that it was a free meal, Qian Dongmei laughed, took out a clean plate from the cupboard, and poured the roast goose from the plastic bag on the plate.

As soon as Zhao Haiying entered the yard of his grandmother's house, he happily rang the bicycle bell. The little sister Qian Qingqing rushed out of the room excitedly: "It's the third brother, the third brother is here." Qingqing treats her brother with a foreign surname better than her own brother, and Chunsheng always complains to her and eats Zhao Haiying's vinegar. Mother Sun and eldest sister also came out from behind: "Haiying, I'm waiting for you, come quickly!" Chunsheng gave Seahawk a grimace behind them.

It's always like this when I eat with my grandmother's family, and my grandmother and eldest sister keep picking up vegetables for him, for fear that he won't be able to eat. The family was happy, chatting about some common things. When Mother Sun and eldest sister heard Chunsheng say that Zhao Haiying had a girlfriend, they couldn't help but ask long and short questions, and also asked if his mother knew about it. Chunsheng hurriedly played a round, and his grandmother and eldest sister looked at Zhao Haiying and laughed at him. At this time, the little sister Qian Qingqing suddenly stood up for some reason, put down the chopsticks and said that she was full, and then ran back to her room.

On this side, although Qian Qingqing ran back to the room, her ears still paid attention to the sound outside. I only heard Brother Chunsheng tell Brother Haiying that he helped a foreign guest staying in the hotel to recover his lost important luggage. Coincidentally, this foreign guest is not only a member of the American Chamber of Commerce, but also a trustee of the New York Business School. The guest wanted to thank him with money, but he refused, but offered to let the guest vouch for his younger brother Caida Gao Caisheng to study at the New York Business School. Unexpectedly, the guest agreed.

Brother Seahawk was very excited when he heard the news. Yes, Qian Qingqing knows that going to New York Business School is Brother Seahawk's dream. Brother Chunsheng asked Brother Haiying to hurry up and prepare his resume, and the guest was going back to the United States in three days. Hearing this, Brother Haiying couldn't wait for his mother and eldest sister to load sweet and sour short ribs and roast goose, ran out of the door, got on his bicycle and left. Qian Qingqing ran to the window and looked at Brother Haiying's back, and fell into deep thought.

Early the next morning, Zhao Haiying took the resume he had stayed up late to find Chen Menglei to help him translate into English. But when I looked for the dormitory and classroom, I didn't see her shadow. Where can she go? He frowned and thought about it, by the way, Belle Dance Center.

In the bright and sleek dance hall, couples of men and women dance to tango music, and the dance teacher beats the beat. At this time, Chen Menglei's friend Zhou Mei left her dance partner and ran towards Zhao Haiying. Zhou Mei told him hesitantly that Du Li and his family introduced Meng Lei to a large state-owned enterprise in Beijing, and Meng Lei went to Beijing for an interview, and it was Du Li who sent her to the train station. Oh, is that so? Meng Lei obviously told herself that she would stay in Shanghai to work after graduation, how could she ...... Zhao Haiying's heart couldn't help sinking, he didn't care about thanking Zhou Mei, clenched the resume in his hand, and turned to leave. Menglei, have you forgotten your promise to me?

Zhao Haiying returned to the dormitory listlessly and begged Wu Yibai to help him translate his resume. Wu Yibai flipped through the dictionary to translate, while not forgetting to laugh at his deaf and dumb English. Zhao Haiying ignored Wu Yibai's ridicule, and was still entangled in the matter of whether Menglei would really return to Beijing. After a while, Xie Tianyang came back. Wu Yibai pushed the translation work to Xie Tianyang as if he had seen a savior. Xie Tianyang asked Zhao Haiying why he made his resume, and sighed: "It's amazing, Haiying, you are so lucky, I am still worried, without a guarantor, it is almost impossible to apply for a school." It's better to introduce me to your guarantor, and the translation of your resume will be on me. Xie Tianyang is a brother in one of his dormitories, and his academic performance is even comparable to his own, Zhao Haiying agreed to Xie Tianyang. At this time, Wu Yibai suddenly asked Zhao Haiying a question: "You are always worried that Menglei will not stay in Shanghai when she returns to Beijing, so have you told her about your preparation to study abroad?" Zhao Haiying bowed his head and was silent.

At that time, Zhao Haiying was still too young, young people were easy to be emotional, and they were easy to be skeptical about everything. It turns out that Chen Menglei has always kept her promises, and she is also racking her brains to find a way to fail this Beijing interview, and she has already thought of a "bad" idea, just like the idea of Zhao Haiying who screwed up the graduate student interview to be sent to the interview.

In the aisle outside the office of the personnel department of the Beijing Bureau of Commerce, Chen Menglei, dressed in professional attire, waited for the interview to begin. She noticed a no-smoking sign on the wall at the other end of the aisle, and immediately walked there, pulled a box of cigarettes out of her bag, lit one and took a sharp puff, coughing loudly.

When Chen Menglei sat on the train back to Shanghai, she couldn't help but smile easily when she recalled everything that happened in the face-to-face test. She couldn't believe that she really ruined her "future" with the method of "self-destructing her image" - the head of the personnel section "cooperated" to see her rather uncivilized behavior and personally crossed her name. She knew that she would definitely face her father's disappointment and pain when she went back this time, but even so, she couldn't stop her inner voice, a firm and passionate dream was guiding her, making her desperate to fly high with Zhao Haiying.

Zhao Haiying decided that Chen Menglei wanted to say goodbye to him without saying goodbye, but Chen Menglei suddenly appeared the next day. At that time, Zhao Haiying and Wu Yibai were eating in the cafeteria, Chen Menglei happily came over to call him, but Zhao Haiying didn't want to pay attention to it and blindly buried himself in eating. Zhao Haiying's indifference naturally angered Chen Menglei, and when she was about to have a seizure, Du Li came over, grabbed her arm, and angrily asked Chen Menglei to explain why he wanted to create a bad image and deliberately mess up the interview that his father had worked so hard to arrange. Du Li shouted excitedly: "Chen Menglei, I really didn't expect you to be such a person. Chen Menglei was not to be outdone, and roared back: "Now you know, I am not the good girl Chen Menglei in your mind, you are not qualified to take care of me, let alone have the right to arrange my life." Even my dad doesn't have that power. ”

Du Li didn't care what Chen Menglei said, and pulled her away. Zhao Haiying on the side couldn't sit still for a long time, and when he heard that Chen Menglei deliberately messed up the interview arranged by Du Li's father, a trace of evil thought flashed in his heart: "Du Li just deserves it!" He stood up and warned Du Li to let go. Du Li seems to have finally found the opportunity to compete head-on with Zhao Haiying, proposing to compete for Menglei through a basketball game, and let Chen Menglei, Xie Tianyang, and Wu Yibai be witnesses, one-on-one confrontation, within 40 minutes, whoever scores more goals will win.

Although Zhao Haiying was determined to win, the result was 41 to 25, and Du Li won. When Du Li looked at Chen Menglei proudly, Menglei gave him a "boring" sentence and turned to leave. When Zhao Haiying wiped his sweat and looked at the crowd, he didn't see Chen Menglei.

This unexpected basketball game seriously affected Zhao Haiying's mood and his agreement with Brother Chunsheng. The hotel lobby was full of people, and when Zhao Haiying and Xie Tianyang ran in panting, Brother Chunsheng angrily blamed them for being two hours late. Zhao Haiying first apologized, and then informed Xie Tianyang of his intentions, Brother Chunsheng took their resumes and said: "You can't see the guarantor, since you are here, let's eat first, talk while eating." ”

The three of them sat in the western restaurant where Zhao Haiying took Chen Menglei to eat ice cream that night, and the experienced Chunsheng brother, who had worked in the hotel for a long time, taught them all kinds of etiquette and details of Western food one by one. He told them that Lao Mei likes details very much, and they often judge the partner from a person's etiquette. In this Western restaurant, he has witnessed the business collapse no less than three times because of the details of the meal. Zhao Haiying couldn't help but sigh: "It seems that it's a good thing to be late today, otherwise it will be a shame in front of Mr. John." ”

Qian Chunsheng smiled and said that he had explained it to the guest named John for them, and John asked them to send him their resumes. However, I don't guarantee that Mr. John will be able to see their resumes after they are sent, and whether he is willing to be the guarantor. Although Brother Chunsheng said so, in any case, to have such an opportunity, in the eyes of Zhao Haiying and Xie Tianyang, they couldn't help it, and they kept thanking Brother Chunsheng.

Suddenly, Zhao Haiying, who was overjoyed, remembered an annoying thing: his father had always opposed him going abroad, but he had to pay US dollars for the TOEFL test registration fee to study in the United States. Therefore, he made a rash request to Brother Chunsheng, who knew many foreigners, to help him exchange some foreign exchange coupons. Although Brother Chunsheng was worried about his father's feelings, he still agreed and asked him to wait for him at the vegetable market behind his house in the afternoon after tomorrow.

Life is always unpredictable. No, as soon as he came to school the next day, Zhao Haiying found that he and Xie Tianyang had both passed the graduate student interview. This is something that Zhao Haiying didn't expect, so should he go or stay?

The basketball court at night is free of the noise of the day, Zhao Haiying plays basketball alone, shooting again and again, but he misses again and again. The sound of the basketball hitting the ground is even more lonely. Finally, Zhao Haiying was exhausted and lay on the court, looking at the vast night sky. The canopy was dotted with stars, twinkling, flickering.

When Zhao Haiying was most confused, Chen Menglei's face appeared in front of him. She smiled and asked him, "What are you doing?" Are you still not happy about it? Seeing Chen Menglei, Zhao Haiying jumped up all of a sudden and poured out the boredom in his heart. Chen Menglei looked at Zhao Haiying and said with a smile: "Haiying, I succeeded, I completely messed up the interview in Beijing." Zhao Haiying already knew her hard work. He was so afraid that she would go back to Beijing, but he didn't expect her choice to be so simple. Chen Menglei said that although she couldn't convince her father, she would never give up. Her father hated Shanghai because her mother left them and went back to Shanghai when she was a child. But even for such reasons, she will still fight to the end. "Because of your motto, you said that what you give up easily is not a dream, but only a dream." Chen Menglei looked at Zhao Haiying and said emotionally.

Yes, dreams cannot be easily given up! I know what to do. Chen Menglei's words woke up Zhao Haiying. He decided to make it clear to the department and quit the insurance research institute.

On the day when he agreed with Qian Chunsheng to get foreign exchange coupons, Zhao Haiying and Xie Tianyang came to the vegetable market on time to wait for him. But Zhao Haiying, Xie Tianyang and Qian Chunsheng would never have thought that the fate of the three of them would change dramatically in this messy vegetable market on this day.

In order to get foreign exchange coupons for Zhao Haiying, Qian Chunsheng did black market trading, and was caught by the plainclothes police who were ambushed in the vegetable market early. When Qian Chunsheng escaped, he told Zhao Haiying to hide, never show up, and he would take care of something. Zhao Haiying, who witnessed the whole process of the arrest, panicked, but could not do anything.

After confirming the safety of the surroundings, Zhao Haiying persuaded Xie Tianyang to leave first. Then, his last composure also collapsed, and he had never felt so flustered, even frightened, as he did today. He was annoyed that he shouldn't hide timidly, at least he should be with Brother Chunsheng, instead of speculating on various possibilities here, and he was deeply worried about Brother Chunsheng's safety. Zhao Haiying didn't dare to go back to his home, let alone Qian's house, where should he go? When dawn came, Zhao Haiying stepped on the ferry boat for the morning shift, and he had to return to the school, the only shelter. However, Zhao Haiying did not know at the time that this only shelter was also about to collapse.

It wasn't until early the next morning that Qian Chunsheng's family learned of his arrest. Hearing the news, Sun Mingfang's face was pale, dizzy, and he almost fell.

At this time, Qian Chunsheng was sitting on a stool in a uniform and handcuffs, depressed and gloomy. In the face of repeated questioning by the police, he always denied that he had violated the law, and even more resolutely refused to admit that he had accomplices. He has only one belief in his heart: he doesn't care, and Seahawk's future can't be delayed because of him.

Suddenly, the public security officer who participated in the interrogation took a few photos with a "bang" in front of Qian Chunsheng, who lowered his head and said nothing. "Even if you don't say anything, we already have evidence of your crime. Qian Chunsheng, you are a lobby manager of a luxury hotel, with a good job and a stable income; We also know that your mother owned a grocery store and a small business that is doing well. You can live a down-to-earth life, but engage in those speculative reversals, buying and selling, and black market transactions! See for yourself! The police pointed to one of the photos and asked who the person in the photo was. When Qian Chunsheng looked at the photo, his face immediately turned pale, and beads of sweat oozed from his forehead. In the photo, Qian Chunsheng is stuffing an envelope into Zhao Haiying's hand. Next to him is Xie Tianyang.

The public security snorted coldly: "Let me remind you, his name is Zhao Haiying......" Qian Chunsheng immediately became anxious, thinking that he couldn't bring Haiying in no matter what! "Comrade Public Security, it's not about Haiying, he doesn't know anything. I am willing to explain, but I beg you, don't go to Zhao Haiying. He's just a college student, and he really doesn't know anything. ”

No matter how Qian Chunsheng defends, Zhao Haiying can't escape what he faces. Zhao Haiying was already mentally prepared for this matter, even if he couldn't help Brother Chunsheng, he couldn't even affect Xie Tianyang. When the police found the school, Zhao Haiying said calmly: "Comrade public security, everything is my responsibility, and it has nothing to do with Xie Tianyang." ”

Zhao Haiying's parents only learned about the incident after receiving a call from Professor Xu. Zhao Guoping hung up the phone, dizzy. For serious violations of discipline, the department gave a punishment decision - cancel the qualification for escort and demerit punishment! Zhou Hui was so anxious when she heard the school's decision that she almost went crazy, and she wanted to go to the school to find Professor Xu immediately. At this time, although sad and angry, Zhao Guoping, who was still calm, persuaded the emotional Zhou Hui: "Zhao Haiying must bear the consequences for his actions and pay the price." Let's teach him a lesson this time. ”

So, in one day, Zhao Haiying went from being a guaranteed graduate student who was admired by everyone among his classmates and a highly talented student who was expected to study in the United States to a negative example of being punished and revoked his guarantee qualifications.

Both himself and Xie Tianyang were disqualified from being escorted, and Zhao Haiying did not have any objections to this. But he couldn't figure out the punishment of a major demerit: I had excellent character and learning in four years of college, and I would graduate in a few months, and I couldn't walk out of campus with such a big stain on my back, so my future would be gone.

Zhao Haiying rushed into the office of the head of the department, and it happened that the head of the department and Professor Xu Jingzhi were there, and he said excitedly: "I am not satisfied with the punishment of a major demerit, since there is no violation of the law, no matter how big the mistake is, it can be educated and corrected." The department has trained me for four years, and I have worked diligently for four years, and I have won many honors for the department. ”

The head of the department had an ugly face, looked at Xu Jingzhi, and said angrily that Zhao Haiying was simply arrogant. In order to defend Zhao Haiying, Xu Jingzhi loudly reprimanded: "Ridiculous! Zhao Haiying, you should go back now, reflect on your mistakes, write a profound review, and hand it over to me tomorrow when class is in class. Zhao Haiying, who has always been proud and bullish, did not accept the professor's kindness, and shouted loudly: "Professor, I won't write any review, I will write an application." If the department insists on having a major demerit in my file, I will apply to withdraw from the school! ”

Xie Tianyang, Wu Yibai, Chen Menglei and others, who had been eavesdropping at the door for a long time, hurriedly came in to intercede for Zhao Haiying, and they were all so nervous that their faces turned pale. However, all this is useless to the head of the department and Zhao Haiying, who has drilled into the horns of the bull. In this way, Zhao Haiying has another disgraceful identity - a college dropout.

Zhao Haiying will never forget what Professor Xu Jingzhi said to him on the day he left the school, the professor said: "Zhao Haiying, you are smart but you are mistaken by smartness, and your heart is higher than the sky." Arrogance is not a good quality, but can become a stumbling block in your life path. You used to be my proudest student, and to be honest, I was saddened. In this matter, although you are unaware, you have indeed made a mistake. It's a pity that you don't know how to reflect, but are impulsive and willful, and self-destructive in your future. I hope you remember this lesson, in your future life, remember today, remember this moment, remember your mood at the moment, and let it remind you for the rest of your life that you should never think that you are the best person, you must first learn to be humble before you can do things in a down-to-earth manner! After Professor Xu finished speaking, he turned around and left. Zhao Haiying, who had mixed feelings, shouted behind the professor: "Professor, I remember your first class. You told us that at the end of 1872, Li Hongzhang submitted a concession to the Tongzhi Emperor, proposing that the imperial court take out a part of the silver as the share capital, and the rest of the equity was sold to Chinese merchants and could be traded freely, and the Tongzhi Emperor approved this concession. It is the first time in Chinese history that the term 'joint-stock system' has appeared in the folds. Since then, China Merchants Steamship has been established, and the first Chinese merchant stock has been issued in China. I remember you said at the time that when we study finance, we should not only focus on the prosperity of Wall Street, but also be clear about our own financial history. I will remember your words, walk out from here, I will not disgrace the school and you. ”

The students who came to see him off listened quietly, and Zhao Haiying's tears were rolling in his eyes, but he tried to raise his head and not let the tears flow. Professor Xu didn't turn around, but slowed down and continued to walk forward.

3

It is difficult to face Professor Xu, and similarly, it is even more difficult for Zhao Haiying to face his parents, who have high hopes for him. Back at home, he and his father Zhao Guoping faced the meal, no one moved chopsticks, and no one spoke. The room was quiet, except for the ticking of the second hand of the clock on the wall.

It was his father Zhao Guoping who broke the silence first: "Let's eat first." Zhao Haiying couldn't hold back any longer: "Dad, I'm sorry." In fact, I thought about it, I have a big demerit in the file, and the better units will not want me, maybe it will affect studying abroad, and foreign countries attach great importance to the comprehensive performance during the university. Dad, life is full of challenges, and this time I want to give it a go. ”

Zhao Guoping put down his chopsticks and stared at Zhao Haiying: "You should say I'm sorry, but not to me, I'm sorry for yourself." Maybe you don't even realize it now, because what your impulse is missing. You can't afford to lose today, and you may have to pay a bigger price tomorrow. I must remind you that no one will bear the consequences of your mistakes, only you. After speaking, Zhao Guoping turned around and walked into the study.

His father still didn't understand him, and Zhao Haiying had nothing to say. And what about Mom? Zhao Haiying gently pushed open the bedroom door, and her mother Zhou Hui was lying flat with a handkerchief over her eyes. "Mom, I know I broke your heart, I've thought about it, I will work hard to take the TOEFL, and I won't let you down." Zhao Haiying sat beside his mother, caressed his mother and said.

Zhou Hui sat up all of a sudden, looking at her son with red eyes: "You have disappointed me, Haiying." I never thought you, you, would do such a rash thing. Drop out, my son will drop out, and my Zhou Hui's son won't even get a diploma. I can't believe it, I can't believe it. Are you still my son? Is it my son that Zhou Hui has always regarded as proud? Tears welled up in her eyes, her voice choked, she couldn't say any more, and kept waving her hands: "Out...... Go to ......"

Zhao Haiying reached out to help his mother, but Zhou Hui was a little out of control, and suddenly shook off his hand and slapped him in the face.

Zhao Haiying, who had been beaten, sat in the living room, dejected. Zhao Guoping came and suggested that he go to his grandmother's house to live for a while. "I know you don't feel like you have the face to see your grandmother," Zhao Guoping said earnestly, "But Chunsheng's matter has nothing to do with you, what should you do and think about it yourself." ”

Zhao Haiying, who dropped out of school, had a hard time, and Chen Menglei's life was not easy. Du Li and Chen Jianhua took turns to launch "attacks" on her, and the "ammunition" they used was very simple, that is, "Zhao Haiying has dropped out of school, and it is completely impossible for the two of you to be together!" ”

Chen Menglei was unmoved, no matter how bitter or angry they were, Chen Menglei only clenched one sentence: "What about the fire?" In my heart, he is the best, even if he drops out, he will definitely do a career! In this life, I identify with him! ”

Chen Menglei's firm attitude undoubtedly angered his father Chen Jianhua again. In the end, Chen Menglei received another slap from her angry father and ran out of the house. Chen Jianhua thought that his daughter must have gone out to find Zhao Haiying, although Du Li had never been to Zhao Haiying's house, he had heard Chen Menglei say it, so he hurriedly wrote the address to Chen Jianhua.

According to the address provided by Du Li, Chen Jianhua, who was still angry, knocked on the door of Zhao Haiying's house. When he saw that the person who opened the door was Zhao Guoping, he was immediately stunned: "Zhao Guoping, why are you?" What, Zhao Haiying is your son? ”

Zhao Guoping saw that Chen Jianhua's expression was wrong, and hurriedly invited him into the house to sit down. After listening to his words that were a little unfocused because of his emotion, Zhao Guoping probably knew why this Chen Gong came to the door: Chen Gong's daughter and his son were college classmates, and the two were in love, and Chen Gong objected; Haiying dropped out of school, and Chen Gong was even more opposed; His daughter ran away, so he thought he was looking for Zhao Haiying. This sea eagle doesn't have a little wind at home about anything, alas......

When the atmosphere was a little awkward, Zhou Hui walked in with a bag of vegetables open the door. Chen Jianhua looked back and was instantly stunned. Zhou Hui and Chen Jianhua looked at each other, they were so surprised that they couldn't close their mouths, and as soon as their hands were loosened, a bag of vegetables fell to the ground: "Chen Jianhua, is it you?" The two of them clasped their hands together enthusiastically.

It turned out that when Zhou Hui and Chen Jianhua were in the same production team in the Northeast. Later, when he returned to the city, Chen Jianhua returned to Beijing at that time, and then lost contact. I really didn't expect to meet again at Zhou Hui's house today.

Zhao Guoping was also embarrassed when he heard the reason, and said to his lover Zhou Hui: "It turns out that you have known each other for a long time!" But Zhou Hui, do you know? This is the famous bridge engineer I mentioned to you. Just when Zhou Hui warmly invited Chen Jianhua to stay for dinner, Chen Jianhua changed his face to a serious face, telling Zhou Hui not to be busy, and to find another time for the gathering of educated youth. Today he has nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, and he has very important things to discuss with them.

Zhou Hui, who was about to cook the dishes, heard Chen Jianhua's serious tone, and looked at his lover Zhao Guoping with a puzzled expression, Zhao Guoping had a helpless expression: "Come and sit." It's your son's business. Your son is in love with someone's daughter. ”

Zhou Hui listened to Chen Jianhua's story, the more she listened, the more angry she became, since everything was said about this, Zhou Hui got up and opened the door, and unceremoniously asked Chen Jianhua to leave. At the same time, Zhou Hui made up her mind in her heart that she would ask that muddy boy in person tomorrow if she was happy if she wanted to be angry with his mother.

Zhao Haiying walked into the barber shop opened by her eldest sister Qian Dongmei's boyfriend "Four Eyes" with her luggage on her back, saying that she would stay in the shop for a few days. "Four Eyes" saw that Zhao Haiying's mood was wrong, but no matter how he asked, he couldn't ask the reason. "Four Eyes" agreed to Zhao Haiying first, and turned his head to inform his girlfriend Qian Dongmei.

When Qian Dongmei led Zhao Haiying home, she said bitterly: "Are your wings stiff, and you don't listen to the words of the eldest sister?" Dropped out of school and moved out of home, I don't know how worried my family is? Chunsheng's matter, I complained to you in my heart. But I also know, it's not your fault, Chunsheng doesn't do black market trading once or twice, he always walks by the river, how can there be no wet shoes? It was also a lesson for him to go in. If you really feel guilty, be obedient, take care of your grandmother, and do your filial piety for your Chunsheng brother. Zhao Haiying wiped his tears, said sorry in his mouth, and secretly raised his strength in his heart.

The next day, when Zhou Hui found the Yongchun non-staple food store, Zhao Haiying was working hard to carry the goods in the store. Zhou Hui was angry when she saw it, and blamed her son for not going to apply for the opportunity to contact him with his old face, but to be a porter in a non-staple food store for a lifetime!

Zhao Haiying didn't want to make her mother angry anymore, so she patiently explained to her: "Mom, the temporary workers you contacted me are not in line with my major, and it's a waste of time for me to go." But Zhou Hui couldn't listen to her son's words anymore, and blamed her grandmother, who was helping her son speak, for spoiling Zhao Haiying, making him so disobedient now.

Zhao Haiying couldn't resist his mother in the end, looking at the business card that his mother stuffed to him before leaving, he asked him to find this person tomorrow, only to see that the business card was printed on: Yongkang Medical Device Factory...... Han wants to be strong.

After Zhao Haiying finally obediently entered the Yongkang Medical Device Factory introduced by himself, Zhou Hui was relieved. Within two days, Han Yaoqiang, the director of this medical equipment factory, was hospitalized due to illness, and Zhou Hui and nurse Qian Dongmei have been taking care of them carefully.

The hospitalized director of the Han factory has always praised Zhao Haiying to Zhou Hui, saying that Zhao Haiying is the most outstanding one in the same batch of sales, with a good image, good eloquence, and special accounting. The sales team leader also praised him very much and wanted to recommend him to become a regular as soon as possible. Zhou Hui was a little proud: "I said a long time ago that my son was originally a talented student. Director Han, I didn't recommend the wrong person to you, did I? ”

Just when Zhao Haiying was struggling for his future, his former college classmates ushered in their graduation day. At that time, Zhao Haiying was undoubtedly lost and inferior - not only did he not have a diploma, but his TOEFL score was also very unsatisfactory, and he was still working as a small temporary worker in a small factory. Thanks to Chen Menglei, he woke up from his deep confusion.

That day, Chen Menglei came to the factory to find Zhao Haiying and said to him: "You are now doing sales, although you are a temporary worker, there is nothing unseemly, this is a down-to-earth job." But that's not what you want, you're still avoiding your own heart. Seahawk, you always say that Mr. Verlin also started from the bottom, but don't forget that he ran errands in the exchange and got experience in the exchange. Lao Bai entered the Economic Daily, and the master who took him was the famous reporter Ma Yue; I'll go to work tomorrow at the Jing'an office; Tianyang has already obtained the Offe of a university in the United States

； Even Shoko also worked in the Health Bureau and became an accountant. If you think about it, your major is better than ours, whether you have a diploma or not, you should at least do professional-related work. And the best way to get closer to your dreams is to study for the TOEFL test with all your might? ”

At that moment, Zhao Haiying held Chen Menglei's shoulders with both hands and said excitedly: "Thank you, Lei Lei, you woke me up!" I should be like Mr. Verlin, who has been trained in the exchange. I want to be closer to you, closer to our shared dreams. ”

So, when the head of the factory's personnel section announced with a smile on his face that he would turn three outstanding salesmen, including Zhao Haiying, into regulars, Zhao Haiying submitted his resignation and left the factory without hesitation, leaving behind a puzzled colleague and a personnel section chief who warned him that he "will definitely regret it" and turned embarrassed.

Zhao Haiying, who left the medical device factory, has been working as a cleaner at the Jing'an Exchange for two weeks. Although Chen Menglei has always persuaded him to give up and can't bear to let him clean the toilet every day, Zhao Haiying insists on his opinion, thinking that even if he enters the exchange now, he can only start as a temporary worker. I will use all my spare time to study, and I will definitely be able to become a formal trader like Chen Menglei.

On this day, Xie Dong, the leader of the exchange and Xie Tianyang's father, saw Zhao Haiying coming again, so he came over and said: "Oh, I've told you many times, you don't have a college diploma, and you can't even reach the basic threshold." You come here every day, no matter how much I want to help you, I can't do anything. Zhao Haiying didn't know how many times he had asked Xie Dong like this, he said sincerely: "Uncle Xie, I don't want to make up, I'll be a temporary worker, and I can do anything." Cleaning, being a security guard, as long as it's in Jing'an, I'm willing to do anything. ”

While the two were entangled, a loud noise suddenly came from the bathroom. Zhao Haiying reacted quickly, rushed into the bathroom and saw a middle-aged man lying on the ground, his face pale, his lips purple, and his expression painful. Zhao Haiying remembered seeing this man consulting stocks outside just now, maybe he was sick.

Xie Dong, the other staff and customers who rushed in after Zhao Haiying, were all gossiping, some suggested that they should be sent to the hospital quickly, and some suggested that they should be helped up first. At this time, Zhao Haiying was calm, he had learned some medical knowledge in college, this middle-aged man looked as if he had a heart attack, and it would be dangerous to move now. So Zhao Haiying approached the middle-aged man and asked him softly where he was uncomfortable and whether he had any medicine on his body. Zhao Haiying looked at the middle-aged man's mouth, and suddenly remembered that when he saw this gentleman before, he was holding a handbag, so he asked, "Sir, where is your bag?" Is there any medicine in the bag? The middle-aged man nodded again, trying to squeeze out two words: "Cabinet...... Counter ......"

Zhao Haiying hurriedly ran to the counter to find the storage bag, and asked Chen Menglei to call an ambulance quickly.

Because of Zhao Haiying's carefulness and decisiveness, the middle-aged man turned the corner. When the ambulance drove the patient away, Xie Dong appeared behind him and patted Zhao Haiying on the shoulder: "Haiying, thanks to you today." Tianyang told me that you are very good at observation, and you are really not wrong. Well, you don't have to do the cleaning again tomorrow. Go to the HR department on time next Monday morning to get a set of security uniforms. You see what I mean? ”

Zhao Haiying's heart rose and fell with Uncle Xie's words, and when he heard that the exchange finally accepted him, he jumped excitedly: "Uncle Xie, thank you so much." ”

Zhou Hui only learned about her son's resignation from the factory two weeks later, and she complained angrily, but Zhao Guoping calmly persuaded her: "This time, I think Haiying is doing the right thing, and doing sales is a bit of a waste of life for him!" If he can really go to Jing'an, no matter what he does, I believe he will gain something. ”

The day before Zhao Haiying was going to work as a security guard at the Jing'an Exchange, Xie Tianyang came to meet Haiying because he was going to the United States the next day. Xie Tianyang said to Zhao Haiying: "My graduate study is three years, how about we have a three-year appointment?" Xie Tianyang and Zhao Haiying, two high-spirited young people, clasped their hands tightly together. Zhao Haiying also deeply rooted Xie Tianyang's words in his heart, and Tianyang said to him: "I'm waiting for you on Wall Street." ”

In the scorching afternoon, the trees screamed vigorously, making it more and more hot in summer. There is an herbal tea stall in the shade of a tree next to the Jing'an Exchange, and the stall owner is fanning the wind with a straw hat. There are very few pedestrians on the road, and only one or two people occasionally walk into the Jing'an Exchange. Behind the counter, Chen Menglei was planning to sort out the materials, her colleague Yang Hao was handling stock transactions for a customer, and the customer in front of her colleague Sister Wang was a woman who looked like a housewife. Sister Wang thought to herself, such a housewife can have a few dollars and understand what stocks are. She is a little snobbish, so she is a little ignorant of it.

It happened that when Sister Wang was a little impatient, a fashionably dressed "Shanghai style" came to the door, and she immediately came to her senses. It can be seen that this "Shanghai faction" is obviously coming for the first time and is not familiar with this place, because he just looked inside the exchange and stopped at the door.

Zhao Haiying, who was wearing a security uniform, also saw the "Shanghai faction", walked out and took the initiative to ask: "Sir, do you need help?" "Haipai" looked at Zhao Haiying with puzzled eyes and said, "I heard that you have stock trading here?" Zhao Haiying immediately understood that the other party was obviously suspicious of this small stock exchange. So he enthusiastically explained that although it seemed to be "the smallest stock exchange in the world", it was also a sparrow, although it was all small, and invited the gentleman to come in and have a look.

Sister Wang's eyes have long been on the "Shanghai style", she doesn't want to miss this high-quality customer, for fear that the woman in front of her will delay her "big order". When he was in a hurry, he turned his head and saw Chen Menglei who was bowing his head and planning to dish, and immediately had an idea and sent the woman to Chen Menglei.

Zhao Haiying came over with the "Shanghai faction", he originally wanted to introduce it to Chen Menglei, but he didn't watch out for Sister Wang pushing the woman to Menglei, and walked to the "Shanghai faction" with bright eyes to introduce the business. Seeing that the customer was snatched away by Sister Wang, Zhao Haiying felt sorry in his heart, but he had no choice but to walk away.

When Chen Menglei finished the 300 yuan business for the woman, Sister Wang had already completed the transaction procedures for the "Shanghai School". Sister Wang whispered to Chen Menglei in a show-off tone: "Menglei, I have traded another 100 shares, and I will invite you to eat ice cream after work in a while." Chen Menglei glanced at Sister Wang, and she only had envy.

The clock on the wall points to 5 o'clock, and it's almost time to get off work. However, the manager of the exchange announced an important news: the head office wants to send a group of young backbones to the United States for further study, and there is only one place in the Jing'an business department, so it was decided to conduct a one-month inspection, depending on the performance, and those with excellent performance can get the opportunity to study abroad.

When Chen Menglei heard the news, she smiled and didn't say anything. Zhao Haiying leaned against the corner and looked at Chen Menglei, also silent.

In this hot summer, the employees of Jing'an Exchange ushered in a life opportunity; On the other hand, a conference is creating change and opportunity for more people. Zhao Guoping was the person in charge of the meeting. He came to the small venue, where a banner was hung on the wall of the venue, "Soliciting Proposals for the Reform of the Shareholding System of State-Owned Enterprises." Zhao Guoping walked up to Gu Guochun, the general manager of Yuyuan Shopping Mall, and asked him how the shareholding reform of Yuyuan Shopping Mall was going. Before coming to the meeting today, Zhao Guoping also received a telephone call from the general office of the municipal party committee, and Secretary Jiang of the municipal party committee personally inquired about the reform.

General Manager Gu reported with great interest: "Director Zhao, our reform is very successful, the joint-stock reform has been almost a year, the mechanism is alive, and the advantages are very obvious. In March this year, we issued 1.29 million shares to the public, and the company's capital increased significantly, and the development results were obvious. ”

As he was talking, Xu Jingzhi and Du Li walked in together. Xu Jingzhi introduced them: "Guoping, this is Du Li from the Financial Market Department of the People's Bank of China, who made a special trip from Beijing to attend the meeting today, and is my student. Oh, by the way, he and Seahawk are still classmates. Du Li greeted respectfully: "Director Zhao, General Manager Gu." Zhao Guoping laughed and complimented: "Your disciples of Professor Xu are all so good." ”

The reason why Xu Jingzhi was invited to this symposium was that Zhao Guoping was deliberate: This was not only because Professor Xu was an authority in Shanghai's economic circles, but also because Professor Xu was highly principled, never tended to be inflammatory, and never engaged in the twists and turns behind the surface. It is precisely in this way that Professor Xu's suggestions will be carefully examined. Looking at the watch when it was time, Zhao Guoping beckoned everyone to walk towards the conference table.

Since the reform and opening up, the reform of the shareholding system of state-owned enterprises has been the focus of controversy, and since the second half of 1986, Shanghai has been under the direct leadership of the municipal party committee and the municipal government, and the municipal system reform office is responsible for organizing and studying the reform plan of the joint-stock system pilot program for large and medium-sized state-owned enterprises. However, Zhao Guoping also understood in his heart that there was a lot of opposition, and some people wrote to the Political Bureau of the Central Committee to report that the model of joint-stock reform was actually a capitalist development model, and suggested that the central government cancel the stock trading in Shanghai. Professor Xu Jingzhi is also opposed to this. As expected, at the beginning of the meeting, Xu Jingzhi said unceremoniously: "Director Zhao, stocks are a typical example of liberalization, and there is no unified view on how to treat this economic form, from the central to the local. I believe that the stock and shareholding systems can no longer be let go of development, but must be vigorously contracted. ”

Zhao Guoping replied with a pleasant face: "Professor Xu, don't be too excited, I understand that some of you support the joint-stock system and some oppose it, but we don't care whether it's good or bad, we have to speak with facts, and facts speak louder than words." I specially invited Gu Guochun, the general manager of Yuyuan Shopping Mall, to Yuyuan Shopping Mall today, Yuyuan Shopping Mall is the first joint-stock enterprise in the city's commercial system, and today I will let Mr. Gu show us an explanation. ”

General Manager Gu stood up and carefully introduced the changes before and after the reform of the mall to the participants. In the small auditorium, all the participants were listening carefully to the introduction, not noticing the passage of time at all, and by the time General Manager Gu finished speaking, it was already sunset.

Listening to Mr. Gu's speech, Zhao Guoping nodded from time to time, and after the speech, Zhao Guoping continued: "Comrades, just the interest expense has saved more than 100 yuan, and the more than 100 yuan can be put into other places to invest and operate, which can generate more income, keep the workers' jobs, and how many families can be fed, everyone should have a scale in their hearts." Secretary Jiang of the Municipal Party Committee has visited Yuyuan Garden twice for investigation, and has been thinking about the process of shareholding reform. Now that the reform and opening up has just tasted the sweetness, do we have to go back because of the controversy over these surnames, societies, and capital? Xu Jingzhi was still very unconvinced after hearing this, accusing Zhao Guoping of being alarmist, saying that the abolition of the shareholding system is by no means a turning back!

Zhao Guoping looked at Xu Jingzhi seriously and said: "Of course, our shareholding system and stock issuance are still very non-standardized. First, China is in the early stage of reform and opening up, and there is no corresponding legislation; Second, the shares issued now are both guaranteed and dividends, and the characteristics of debt securities and equity securities are confused; Third, there is no strict prospectus and necessary information disclosure for stock issuance, which does have certain hidden dangers. Zhao Guoping said and set his eyes on Du Li, who had been listening without speaking, and invited him to tell everyone about the attitude of the People's Bank of China.

Du Li looked at Zhao Guoping, and then at his teacher Xu Jingzhi, and the strong ** smell that permeated between the two important figures made him have to carefully consider every word he said: "The report of the 13th National Congress of the Communist Party of China clearly pointed out that the form of shareholding system that appeared in the reform, including state controlling rights and departments, regions, enterprise participation and individual shareholding, is a form of organization of socialist enterprise property. ”

Hearing his proud protégé say this, Xu Jingzhi's face became a little unsightly, fidgeting, clenching his fists and preparing to slap the table. Du Li looked sideways, immediately noticed the teacher's emotions, and turned to say: "The People's Bank of China, as the competent authority of financial management, has always emphasized that the current pilot scope is limited to Shanghai, Shenzhen and other places in terms of the pilot policy of the shareholding system and stock public offering, and emphasizes that stock issuance should be carried out according to relatively standardized stock public offering procedures. Before the central government did not clarify the pilot policies of the joint-stock system and the stock market, the pilot stock circulation market was limited to Shanghai and Shenzhen. To a certain extent, this can also show that we still have reservations about stocks and joint-stock systems. ”

Hearing Du Li say this, Xu Jingzhi smiled again, and his clenched fists slowly opened. Du Li secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, carefully observed the expressions of both sides, and finally finished his speech.

After the meeting, Xu Jingzhi was very satisfied that his disciples spoke for him, and invited Du Li to his home for dinner. Du Li excused himself and said that he had asked a few old classmates to catch up. At this time, Xu Jingzhi thought of asking Du Li to help persuade Zhao Haiying: "When you see Zhao Haiying, you persuade him not to forget that he walked out of Shanghai University of Finance and Economics." As a security guard, he is so promising, he is actually working as a security guard! Du Li was shocked by the news that Zhao Haiying was a security guard, and suddenly someone behind him shouted, "Professor Xu, Professor Xu......"

Du Li and Xu Jingzhi stopped, and the person who came took out their business cards and handed them over, and the business cards were printed with Han Yaoqiang's name. It turned out that after listening to the speeches of Professor Xu and Du Li in the venue, Han Yaoqiang felt that he had gained a lot. He was racking his brains for the reform of the medical device factory, and wanted to ask the two masters for advice after the meeting.

Hearing about the intention of Director Han, Xu Jingzhi said modestly: "I am just a university teacher, and I dare not discuss the reform of your factory." However, I still have to remind you that if it is a restructuring, you must be cautious. ”

At this time, Zhao Guoping came over and gave Han Yaoqiang a dose of medicine: "Director Han, let me ask you a question, do you dare to hold a 'factory director bidding'?" Han Yaoqiang was surprised and couldn't answer for a while. Zhao Guoping continued to explain: "We have said a thousand methods, but in fact, the core is still people, talents. The bidding of the factory director stimulates the internal competition mechanism, and then the operating mechanism will be stimulated. If you have the courage and consciousness of Director Han, I believe that you will be able to lead Yongkang out of a broad road. ”

After listening to Zhao Guoping's explanation, Han Yaoqiang suddenly felt that his mouth was suddenly opened. He was so excited that he shook Zhao Guoping's hand and thanked him again and again.
