74. You should be gentle, but you need strength more
Zhou Chu was born in a small town more than 300 kilometers away from Nanming, perhaps because of the relationship between the border provinces, there is no quiet and peaceful life in the small town, and there is no need to ask about the world, on the contrary, it is full of chaos and uneasiness.
After going to junior high school, on the way home from self-study every night, I can always see the young people chasing each other with machetes and shouting past, and you can hear the sharp and piercing 205CC motorcycle whistling by; A group of little yellow hairs with cigarettes, little sisters who are scantily dressed and unscrupulous, and the occasional person who looks powerful and is said to be a real gang boss, the deeds of those bad teenagers during recess, and the rumors of beating and killing will always be passed in the ears of Zhou Chu, who was still an excellent student at the time.
It's just been passed on, although he has heard and passed every day, but Zhou Chu has always lived in a small world of his own, called "Good Student", what he heard and passed by, although it seems to be extremely close, but it is far away.
Until one day, the rumored drama of "bad boys blackmailing good students" finally played out on him, in the face of those peers who looked fierce and vicious, Zhou Chu only had time to grit his teeth and say a "no", and ushered in a storm of beatings.
Many years later, Zhou Chu still remembers the humiliation and pain of the stormy fists and kicks falling on him, but it seems that even the bad boys didn't expect that he, who is usually a good student, not only couldn't answer, but still didn't choose to give in after suffering a stormy beating.
He chose to fight back, shaking him to his feet, waving a clumsy but firm fist, and punched the leader of the delinquent boys.
Naturally, it was inevitable that there would be a severe beating, and the bad boy who came back to his senses beat Zhou Chu to the point that his nose was blue and his face was swollen.
Zhou Chu found a reason to live in the dormitory and didn't go home, and the guys in the dormitory, who were also good students, sighed for a long time, but there was no effective and feasible way, this was just proposed to tell the school, and was denied by another person with another statement, this just wanted to suggest something, but finally shook his head and walked to the side by himself.
Zhou Chu only learned from the miscellaneous comforts and narratives of these good students that such things happen from time to time are actually common in school, and because of the fact that the frequency of private occurrences is very high, coupled with some other factors, the school's current attitude is only to turn a blind eye, and if it doesn't work, it will warn or punish, but it will not expel or come up with an effective and feasible method.
And in the end, they came to a unified conclusion: either compromise with the other party and pretend to be a grandson in a low voice, or obediently do what they ask.
But Zhou Chu himself had already chosen not to compromise in the afternoon, and he would not do the second choice, not only because he wouldn't, but also because he had a strict tutor at that time, and he couldn't get the amount of extortion from the other party.
So that night, Zhou Chu left the school overnight.
When Zhou Chu reappeared the next day, when the delinquent teenager tried to block him again outside the school gate, a large black crowd poured out from all directions, which scared the group of delinquent teenagers.
This group of guys is the bad teenager who has really played with life and seen blood.
The situation came to a big reversal in an instant, and it was not Zhou Chu who was repaired, but the group of bad teenagers, the blackmailed guys, who in turn became the targets of blackmail.
That night, in some dim light, Zhou Chu looked at the cousin who he didn't know when, and mentioned it when the elders at home were chatting, disdainful and even a little disgusted, like the young Chen Haonan said to the big guy B in the old boy movie, and said very seriously. …,
"I want to mess with you."
So a well-behaved good student fell, although his grades were still excellent, so a period of black with red, others did not know and never experienced the young boy career, from that county, to Nanming, and continued until Zhou Chu was admitted to Nanming University, before announcing his departure.
He still remembered that the girl who had been on the high and had brought him a lot in the last year of the last year and had taught him so much had said such a sentence when she left after the last of her life.
Be gentle, and be more powerful.
So Zhou Chu remembered this sentence and tried to understand something, he also began to quietly bury that black past, even if it was Ou Cheng, he didn't say a word, and lived in a low-key and silent way until he met Qin Jing.
Then Zhou Chu felt that he probably understood what that girl had to say to herself, you should be gentle.
And now, he may also understand what it means to be more powerful.
Perhaps, the two are not in conflict in the first place.
And now, what he needs is more power, no matter what.
Zhou Chu came back to his senses from his memories, and after repeating this sentence in his heart, he turned on the computer, although he didn't know what he needed now, but he needed better learning, and more, just like a sponge back then.
Rows of windows were opened in the browser, from various wilderness survival skills to common sense of life, from human anatomy to psychology, to communicative science and crowd effect, Zhou Chu sat down and did not move, until the call from Oucheng came.
Zhou Chu looked at the time on the computer, and at 22:15, after making an appointment with Oucheng on his mobile phone, he took a simple shower to make himself look more energetic, Zhou Chu took the 6,500 US dollars and hurriedly went out.
I don't know if Ou Cheng plans to wait for a date here, or what to do, in short, Ou Cheng and he made an appointment with the location of Lu, which is in a KTV VIP box.
Zhou Chu just entered the door, and saw four or five bottles of foreign wine on the amber coffee table in the box, knowing that Ou Cheng seemed to be planning to get drunk again tonight, he smiled bitterly, and didn't say anything, but turned around and closed the box door, and then walked to Ou Cheng and sat down, took out the 6,000 US dollar envelope, and put it in front of Ou Cheng.
"The old rules." Zhou Chu said, and then he opened a bottle of wine first, and poured it with a gurgling, although he pretended to be nothing, and seemed to be nothing, it was just a habit of suppressing everything in his heart.
Ou Cheng glanced at the envelope and was a little surprised, this surprise was not because he hadn't seen so many dollars, but for Zhou Chu, who he knew, getting nearly 40,000 yuan in a week, it was really surprising and suspicious.
"Where did you get it?" Ou Cheng asked quietly, and also opened a bottle of wine for himself.
"Secret." The spicy feeling of the foreign wine made Zhou Chu's stomach churn for a while, and at the same time, it was extremely comfortable, and while putting down the wine bottle, he looked at Ou Cheng very seriously and wanted to continue to ask.
"If you know what I don't want to say, I definitely won't say it, so don't ask."
"Okay." As a sworn friend who knew Zhou Chu's temper well, Ou Cheng put away the envelope a little helplessly, "Don't you leave some for yourself?" ”
"Stayed." Zhou Chu said, "Five hundred, you can also exchange it for more than three thousand, that's enough." ”
Ou Cheng resisted his urge to scold Zhou Chu and your sister, and continued to ask quietly: "Call me out today, it's not just this matter, right?" ”
"It's not." Zhou Chu hesitated for a moment, but still said, "I want to see if there is a way for you to contact the master in charge of the approval of the plan of the Southeast Asian Cultural Expo, and by the way, help me inquire personally." ”…,
Ou Cheng glanced at Zhou Chu in surprise again, when did this guy change his temperament, and he actually came to ask him to do something, and it was still the kind of thing that borrowed the way and relationship, "I'll ask you when you go back, after all, I'm not the second generation of officials, but I have friends, besides, who do you want to ask?" ”
"Hongda Advertising Company, Zhao Zhiyuan, probably just understand his experience, is there a way?"
"Leave it to me." Ou Cheng patted Zhou Chu's shoulder and didn't say anything more.
After explaining the things he wanted to explain, Zhou Chu also relaxed a little, and looked at the wine bottles on the table and asked.
"Which good girl did you fall in love with tonight?"
"What a good girl?!" Ou Cheng is not angry, "You are willing to contract and live together, you need me to take it, from the bad family Ou Da Shao, the conscience of the industry is guaranteed!" What words. ”
"Okay, but you have to take it easy, don't pull down the root of the disease or the weakness or anything." Zhou Chu laughed and teased.
"Your sister! You curse me. Ou Cheng complained, and then said, "But it's really not, an eldest lady is back, ready to pick up the wind and wash the dust, what, do you want to introduce you?" ”
"Forget it, at the level of the eldest lady, I can't afford to wait." Zhou Chu changed the subject, "How are you doing?" ”
I don't believe that you don't have a woman who can't afford to serve, and that eldest lady has a somewhat unique taste, maybe it's you who likes you, Ou Cheng thought, although Zhou Chu didn't say it, but as a rich second generation, how could his family let him get too close to some people too casually? So when Ou Cheng tried to persuade his father to let Zhou Chu hold an important position in his father's group, Zhou Chu had already been secretly investigated, and Ou Cheng also quarreled with his father, but it was also in that quarrel that Ou Cheng also knew something.
But this guy is an infatuated species, let's talk about it, Ou Cheng himself feels a headache, and he also follows the topic of Zhou Chu.
"That's it, then the gangster will be the design director, my old man said, if you can't get to the position of director before the age of 27, you have to go back to work for him, now it's okay, I'm only 25 this year, and I've already reached the standard......"
The two chatted like this, and it wasn't until Oucheng's phone rang that Zhou Chu stood up and said goodbye.
Walking out of KTV, Nanming was already a bustling night scene in the middle of the night, looking at the gray sky with no starlight due to excessive pollution, Zhou Chu clenched his fists.
Yes, it takes more force.
