12 What's Behind the Prosperity

Facts have proved that Chen Muwu's hopes have been disappointed, and he still underestimates the current influence of "Declaration".

In this era when there are no other entertainment projects except listening to plays, playing mahjong, smoking big cigarettes, and visiting brothels, people in the upper class of society who have no worries about food and clothing either make people or read newspapers in their free time.

As the largest newspaper in the country in terms of circulation, not to mention a tofu block news on the tenth page of "Declaration", even the advertisement in the corner of the twenty-second page, many people will read it word by word.

At the end of the three-day holiday on New Year's Day, on the morning of January 4, as soon as Chen Muwu arrived at the office, his colleagues came forward to ask about the seminar.

"Hey, Lao Chen, no wonder you were called to go to the Tianchan Stage on New Year's Day to watch "Tanuki for the Prince", you said that you couldn't spare time that day, it turned out that you went to the Ministry of Industry Bureau to show your face!"

"My fault, my fault, next time, next time."

This is a certain A, the two graduated from the Ministry of Communications in the same year, and entered the two railway administrations together, so the relationship is also relatively close, and the conversation is neither big nor small.

"Brother Hanchen, when I read the newspaper yesterday, I saw the scorching demeanor of the king, which is really the majesty of our people and the arrogance of the foreigners, admire, admire!"

"Brother B, I'm smiling, I'm smiling."

This is a certain B, an old man whose beard has begun to turn white, and he opens his mouth and closes his mouth to call him brother, which makes Chen Muwu very embarrassed.

Nowadays, the salutation etiquette is very cumbersome, and two people call each other "brother" regardless of their age, which seems to be very close, but in fact it is the most distant manifestation of the relationship.

"Engineer Chen, the sister of the inner man recently came to the sea from Jiang Yan's hometown, find time for me to set up a table in Xinghualou and introduce you to each other?"

In the meantime, there was also fishing in troubled waters, and he wanted to take the opportunity to introduce his wife to Chen Muwu to become a certain brother-in-law.

This is not because of his scientific literacy, but because he has long coveted the family background of the Chen family behind him.

After finally dealing with a colleague in an office, the British chief engineer asked the secretary to call Chen Muwu into his office and meet with this famous young man.

One of his subordinates had someone who could talk to Einstein, and the pot-bellied chief engineer had earned face in a salon hosted yesterday at the house of a bank manager, and the hostess was also very kind to him.

He exchanged a few polite words of encouragement with Chen Muwu, and also used his authority to give the young man an extra three months' salary as a bonus.

It's also a kind of ...... A blessing in disguise?

……

Zhang is only three years old this year, and will live in the Eddington apartment on Hurd Road in ten years, and become neighbors with Chen Muwu, the imperial army Shunmin, who has lived in the occupied area from beginning to end, and the cultural traitor who frantically advocates the co-prosperity of Greater East Asia for Xiao Xiaoben, the love brain who was turned into PUA by the traitor Hu Lancheng and abandoned from the beginning, and has countless little bourgeois fans in later generationsMs. Ailing once said in the future: "It is necessary to become famous as soon as possible." ”

Having not read her works, Chen Muwu did not comment on Ms. Zhang's character, but he did not agree with what she said, because he was obviously not used to the taste of sudden fame.

was treated as a rare animal in the unit for a whole day, and as soon as the bell rang like a natural sound, Chen Muwu fled the office as if he were flying.

I finally squeezed into a No. 5 tram from the North Railway Station, and the reason why the word "squeeze" is used is because no matter winter or summer, the tram car is always crowded like canned sardines.

In later generations, there will always be pseudo-petty bourgeoisie who have been brainwashed by novels and TV dramas, and they always praise how good the people are, and the people are the largest metropolis in the Far East, comparable to London in the United Kingdom and New York in the United States.

Chen Muwu really wanted to pack up these thirteen points who didn't know how much water they had entered into their heads and take them to the world he was in now to see what the real scene was like.

When waiting for the bus, everyone was still a polite gentleman.

As soon as the train arrived, everyone, men, women, and children, regardless of their manners, immediately lost their manners and rushed to the train, not to be outdone.

Those who are unfortunate enough to be left behind can only climb or tie to the handles inside and outside the doors – tram doors are absolutely impossible to close in most cases.

Chen Muwu occasionally has a reasonable suspicion that the way to carry passengers in the Indian train, which is stronger than six cars, is actually the red-headed three men who maintain law and order in the concession today, who brought the essence of the crowded tram back to China from the beach and carried it forward accordingly.

The No. 5 tram crossed the old garbage bridge and drove along the river road to the Risheng Building, where Chen Muwu got off and waited to transfer to No. 12.

When waiting for the bus here, his eyes will always fall on the two department stores of Sincere and Yong'an.

The two companies, located in the northwest and southwest corners of the intersection of Avenida da Estragala and the southwest corners, can be called the landmark buildings in the Ten Mile Field: the magnificent European-style building, the exhibits in the glass windows that change every few days, the colorful neon lights create a dreamy atmosphere, and the young lady in a suit and tie holding a shawl and stepping on high heels is in and out, in and out endlessly.

However, in the dark corners where the neon lights do not shine, there are more beggars than the two companies have customers.

They were poorly clothed and hungry, and they could barely survive the next few days by relying on a few copper plates thrown on the ground by the kind-hearted old ladies they occasionally met.

"Bell, bell, bell......"

After the No. 12 tram entered the station, there was another desperate crowding, and Chen Muwu squeezed into the tram and found a place to settle at the door.

At this kind of downtown station, there is no luxury in having a seat on the train, and as long as you can get on the train, you have to recite Amitabha.

Sit all the way to Gordon Road, get off the bus and walk more than a mile, after passing two intersections, Chen Muwu walked to Seymour Road, where his house is located.

It's not convenient for public transportation at all! After getting out of the car, I had to walk for so long! He thought to himself.

But Chen Muwu completely ignored one point, that is, his family lived in the rich area of the concession, and the largest private garden in the beach was the neighbor of Hartung Garden, which was a first-class quiet place in the concession, how could he allow the tram to pass by day and night?

When other neighbors go out, they all take cars or foreign cars, but he is the only hairy little clerk who goes out early and returns late every day to crowd the tram with others.

That's right, Chen Muwu, the "poor" Chinese who made Planck sympathize with and resonated with Rutherford, was actually born in a wealthy family.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to spend a hundred dollars on a typewriter, but he wouldn't have felt distressed at all - that would have cost him half a month's salary!
