Chapter 30: Farewell
So when Mr. De saw Gu Chuan again a few days later in the morning, this person was very different.
And before him, Kirimi had visited Mr. Toku. Gu Chuan was clinging to the door panel outside the door, and he could barely hear Tong Shi excitedly talking about the crown, talking about the big fight between the Yuanta family and the Shendi family, and the change of patriarch in the Shendi family.
He wanted to continue listening, but the bike he had taken upstairs tipped over, and it creaked again along with the floor.
On the way to Mr. De's house by bicycle, Gu Chuan was the focus of people's eyes along the way. Bicycles are a new and popular rarity in Sunset City. The concave face merchant's factory had not yet been opened, and the bicycles produced by the small workshops were sold to the citizens of the city. Gu Chuan didn't dare to park his bicycle downstairs.
This startled the people in the door.
Mrs. De came over to open the door, and when she saw Gu Chuan, her eyes lit up, and she couldn't help grinning, and suddenly laughed:
"It's different, Ogawa, I'm wearing a new set of clothes, and I don't look honest than before. Where is this clothes? ”
On that day, Gu Chuan was wearing a beige overalls jacket and cargo pants, with a solid-colored shirt and a white shirt underneath, all of which were styles that Mrs. De had never seen in Sunset City. The most special thing is the collar, which is turned over, which is extremely rare in Sunset City.
"It's really not easy to explain it in a short period of time."
Gu Chuan locked the bicycle a little shyly and tidied up his lapels again.
At that time, Kirimi had just finished talking to Mr. Toku, and was ready to leave. As soon as she stood up, she turned her head to see the young man standing in the doorway, his head bowed, about to enter the door.
She slammed and blinked, and like Mrs. Kiri, she couldn't help but look at a face and grinned, thinking that if Mrs. Ogiri knew about Ogawa at this time, she would definitely want to look at him more, and exclaimed in surprise:
"What kind of fancy dress are you wearing!"
Gu Chuan's stinky farts accumulated were deflated all of a sudden.
He still wants to hear compliments and praises. It's just that when he is watched by people along the way, he will also wonder if the clothing design he brought from the 21st century is really bad for the world.
Tong Shi's question was confirmed, and Gu Chuan's thoughts were realized.
"Isn't it weird? Is it that weird...... Guess who designed this? ”
Gu Chuan pursed his lips, pulled the corner of his clothes, and looked at her with slanted eyes. Tong Shi was still wrapped in her big black robe, Gu Chuan thought to himself, if this was placed in the future life, he would be designated as a two-thorn ape or a non-mainstream who was regarded by the mainstream as something in cosplay!
"Which other big designer could it be? Don't try to frame me. I guess it's a lot of weird ideas in your head! ”
Tong Shi probably knew about the affairs of Rizhao Village, and he had also heard a little about bicycles, so he naturally knew that Gu Chuan had already made some careers. The only thing she was surprised was that Gu Chuan could still work for Mr. De honestly.
"Then you guessed it."
Gu Chuan sat down in his place dejectedly, and there was still a record of the last interview with the old man in Sunset City that he had not finished.
"This is the uniform clothing that I designed for our bank, which is the uniform."
There are many seemingly mundane policies of modern business that are wonderful for a society that is close to the early industrial revolution.
It cannot be said that there was no prototype at the beginning, but it was gradually complicated and refined in the development of later generations over the past few hundred years.
For example, the original master-apprentice relationship also has reviews and preferences, but it is obviously not good enough compared to the evaluation and grading of later generations and the clear writing of promotion ranks.
Anyone who wants to be big will naturally have rules, but look at the detailed rules and regulations of the 21st century, and the many ways in which the rules and regulations seem to be gentle at once, but are not actually gentle, you can see how crude the original rules are.
Uniforms are a somewhat dangerous example.
Because the original uniform was associated with religion, factionalism, and the army.
Its role is also the role of the above three, to establish the overall image and improve the cohesion of everyone. Anyone who wears the same set of clothes as someone else, goes to and from school together, will also have a similar feeling, and when you look outside, you will also know that the person wearing the same set of clothes is also an organization.
In Sunset City, where the concept of clan is still deeply rooted, the clothes of each family are highly uniform in addition to their respective coats of arms. Therefore, the actions of the teenagers are only stepping on a dangerous edge.
Tong Shi circled around Gu Chuan, showed his white teeth, and smiled:
"Then you're amazing! Is it the founder of a family? ”
This is what the uniform costume means for the Sunset City family.
The pleasure in this sentence made Mr. De, who was sitting in place, look sideways for a while, and observed the young man and woman, which was quite interesting.
Mr. De said curiously at the right time and asked:
"You came up with it all on your own?"
Gu Chuan shook his head:
"It's not strictly calculated, I found a few tailors to come up with it. I provided a concept that I thought of myself, and they provided their methods to make it a reality. ”
"That's really interesting. Mr. De used to praise you, but I often didn't think it was a thing, but now it seems that I didn't realize it. Kirishi thinks it's strange, don't be angry, I'm an old woman, I think it's still good-looking. ”
Mrs. De's children were often away and lonely, and she was happy to see these two beautiful children happy, and she made two cups of tea and put them in front of them.
"How can I!"
Kirimi hurriedly shook his head, thanked him again, and said that he had something to do first. It's just that when she walked to the door, she turned her head and still stared at Gu Chuan, and suddenly changed her steps again.
The young man who was about to start writing was caught off guard and was suddenly shortened by Kiritsu. The hair, which smelled good, touched the outer contours of his ears.
He froze in his position, and only heard Kirimi whisper in his ear:
"I think it's pretty good, and it's not that weird!"
She then disappears behind the door, leaving only the twilight of the doorway.
After Gu Chuan finished writing yesterday's file and handed it over to Mr. De, he thanked Mrs. De in a restrained manner, he took a few sips of tea, and was still brewing the words in his stomach, when he heard Mr. De beside him say unhurriedly:
"Are you going to resign when you come here this time?"
The cup fell back to the table, and there was a flood of sunlight in the water.
Mrs. De sat next to Mr. De and looked at Gu Chuan gently.
"How did you guess that, sir?"
Gu Chuan said with a smile.
"You're doing it too fast today, come over here and start writing this final task. I'll give you five days for this task, but you only used two days, and you originally had to finish it just now, so you won't be in such a hurry. This anomaly is revealed, and I know it. ”
Gu Chuan was impressed and said:
"That's true, that's right."
Mr. De stood up and walked to the window, looking at the river flowing in the sunset. On the other side of the river, the rest of Sunset City looms. The boat continued to run down the water, and the boatman stood on the bow and paddled the water. The water is rippling, and the gold is sparkling.
"Is it because of your own business?"
He asked.
"Yes, I have a lot of things in my career, so I want to get my hands dirty."
"Hands-on...... It's kind of similar to me. Have you ever wondered what to do next? ”
Mr. De's task of compiling the encyclopedia could have been left to the team, but he chose to do it himself.
"It's just to get bigger first, and then I want to organize expeditions, go to the mountains, go farther out, and learn more about the world."
At that time, Gu Chuan said so.
"That's something that no one has been able to do before." Mr. De turned his head sideways and looked at Gu Chuan gently, "You are the first in the world." ”
Gu Chuan touched his nose embarrassedly and lowered his head.
"It's not that powerful, haha."
"I'm not complimenting you...... I don't know much about that. Mr. De shook his head, "There are many things that are stopped by His Majesty, and the Council does not initiate them. They don't advocate for civilians, only for the citizens and families in the inner city, do you know why? ”
Gu Chuan was stunned, knowing that Mr. De was ordering him, so he quickly stood up and said:
"Please give me advice."
"I don't have anything to teach you about that."
Mr. De still shook his head, and his eyes flew all the way up the Huaishui section of the Rizhao River, from the Lower Huai District into the Upper Huai District, which was separated by the inner city wall.
All human beings inhabit this place where the sun sets last, and rarely go to the outside world.
"Because I was born too late to know anything about the deeper things in the early days of Sunset City, or how the inner city family used strange things to carve out this new land, I only know the fact that we are protected by Sunset City to be safe. The six Twilight Wars involved things that none of us knew about. ”
He said calmly:
"And you, you also know that the council, which is directly responsible for the whole process, and the crown that has power over the council, has the right to rule on everything. They have artificially interfered with the monopoly of the twelve inner city families such as the Yuanta family and the deep earth family on various affairs, you have to understand the fact that you are safe and secure now, but if you become big and want to incite thousands of people in the city to serve you and do something-"
Mr. De turned his head suddenly, his back to the setting sun, and in the shadows, his eyes were sharp that Gu Chuan had never seen before.
Gu Chuan didn't even know that he had used this kind of look to convince the head of the Yuanta family, and also persuaded Lady Otong to cooperate with him.
"You can't get around the council, and you can't get around the crown. I have no good ability to shelter you. ”
"I know ......"
Gu Chuan said.
"I'm already thinking about it."
If any cause wants to become bigger, it will eventually interfere with the operation of society, and once it interferes with the operation of society, it will inevitably involve the government.
"Actually, I have a lot to tell you...... "Mr. Zhide sighed again, "but the situation is not up to anyone, and I dare not say much." I just want to warn you about one thing, Ogawa, think more...... Also, if something happens in the future, don't get involved with me. I'm not going to do you any good...... On the contrary, it may bring you harm, and I will not say that I have taught you anything, in fact, many of your things have not been taught by me, but I have benefited a lot. ”
Gu Chuan was shocked, he didn't know the extent to which Mr. De's words were already trying to clear up the involvement.
Although he was an assistant, Gu Chuan knew that he was also half of Mr. De's apprentice, so he bit his lip and said:
Mr. De...... I won't name you, and I'm not going to make you a fox...... I know you just want to finish your encyclopedia with peace of mind......"
But Mr. De just shook his head, and said to Mrs. De:
"Insider, go and get the termination book I prepared a long time ago."
He said to Gu Chuan again:
"You don't have to resign yourself, I'll fire you."
He signed his name and wrote the second solar term after the 264th founding festival of Sunset City, which was a sting.
Then he handed the termination letter to Gu Chuan.
Gu Chuan held the termination book and was speechless for a long time. He thought about his resignation, and he knew he would quit, but he didn't think it would be like this.
"It doesn't matter in the future."
"Yes."
Mr. Tak replied.
"Originally, I thought that after you finished writing the encyclopedia, I would ask you to be the chief teacher of my career, but I didn't have this opportunity?"
He really had this idea, and he also wanted to invite many scholars to do the teaching work.
"Yes."
Mr. De turned his head sideways, no longer looking at Gu Chuan, and Mrs. De held his trembling hand under the table.
Gu Chuan pretended to sign his name calmly and said:
"Alright, I'm done."
He handed in the book and said:
"I'm leaving."
He walked to the door and opened it, trying to unlock the bike.
At this time, Mr. De called him across the corridor:
"Ogawa."
"What's wrong? Mr. ”
Gu Chuan turned his head, as if he had not terminated the old season before the contract was terminated.
Mr. De still did not turn his face, but said to Mrs. De:
"Ogawa, that 'bank' of yours is a currency custody business, right?"
"Yes."
"Madame, take out a thousand discoloration coins for me and deposit them in the bank. After that, we had nothing to do with it. ”
Mr. De said softly.
"Thank you, I see."
After Gu Chuan went out, he dragged the bicycle downstairs. The newly installed bicycle bell rings strongly and crisply in the wind. He looked over the water, and saw that the sun was sinking and rising in the clouds, as if it were disappearing in a regular manner, and soon it was out of sight.
