Chapter 42: Alumni Association (4)
At the beginning of the dinner, a large group of classmates gathered together, naturally it was inevitable to push the cup and change the lamp, and while drinking, it was inevitable to talk about the current pattern, such as "I didn't expect God to really exist", "Come on, what bullshit God, it's nothing more than a powerful alien", "Science is theology to the extreme", "All skills can be explained by science", "Then you explain one, I'll listen", "I want to have the ability to explain it, I need to sit here and blow water with you?" Dude, you're so good that you don't have friends" and so on.
Anyway, the topic is correct at the beginning, and it is inevitable that you will have to deviate from the conversation later.
However, no matter how far the topic is, it will be picked up by people with ulterior motives.
It is a bit too much to say that Chang Mao has ulterior motives, but it is not wrong to say that he has his own political goals.
So after a lot of wine and food, Chang Mao began to introduce the topic to the topic.
Sure enough, when it comes to the establishment of a formal professional organization, many people are still interested.
Chang Mao and their class of about sixty or seventy people, reunion naturally impossible to come together, but also thirty or forty, most of them are quite able to adapt to the new pattern, more than half of them have become professionals, although the remaining half have not yet become professionals, but in fact they have not given up, but for various reasons delayed, there are still not many who really do not seek progress.
Of course, Chang Mao would not say anything about setting up an organization for me to be the boss, but he carefully prepared a speech, and those classmates who had not yet changed jobs were his best excuse.
“...... The situation has changed, and we must also recognize the general trend. Regardless of whether those beings in the sky are aliens or immortals, we must understand that the world is in their hands, and we can only play according to their rules. That's why I suggest we set up such a mutual aid organization. Those who are one step ahead will help those who are behind. Everyone helps each other and develops together......"
Chang Mao said with emotion, according to his meaning, this alumni association is a mutual aid association, to help the students who have not been transferred first, to help them be promoted, and the students who have not been transferred are also obliged to give a certain amount of feedback in the future after receiving help. In this way, strong bonds are formed.
Of course, such a bond definitely requires organizers.
Note that it is the organizer, the person who does the work, not the leader.
No smart leader will say that everyone will listen to me, but only that I will serve everyone.
That's the case with Changmao.
There are Kuroko Hara Chenfei and others, and it is this dinner party that he organized, and the proposal was also put forward by him, and it is almost a matter of responsibility as the host.
In addition, what he said is not wrong, if you want to continue to survive well in this society that has undergone drastic changes, it is necessary to hold together. This class mutual aid association is still very meaningful.
So after eating a meal, at least half of the people were already interested in joining, and the remaining half were also considering and hesitating, but Chang Mao patiently did the persuasion work one by one.
Of course, the most difficult thing to get is to ask Yuan Chenfei.
After the meal, there is a singing and dancing performance, and everyone is free to move, which is actually to give each other time to communicate.
As soon as the first show began, Xia Ning walked up to Yuan Chenfei: "It's a little hot here, take a walk on the balcony with me?"
"Okay. Yuan Chenfei smiled.
He had already stood up and followed Xia Ning to the balcony.
There are always people who don't like Yuan Chenfei, looking at the backs of the two, and muttering: "I really don't understand why Xia Ning is still ignoring him, he abandoned Xia Ning back then." ”
"Forget it, the business of the two of them is your business. "Someone admonished.
Coming to the balcony, a gust of wind blew, cool and comfortable.
Xia Ning put her hand on the railing and looked at the distant scenery, she said, "In the past few years, I have wronged you." ”
Yuan Chenfei smiled: "What are you wronged about?"
"Bearing the notoriety of a burdensome man. Xia Ning turned around and leaned against the railing to look at him.
Under the moonlight, Yuan Chenfei's face was still so handsome.
Yuan Chenfei smiled: "What kind of grievance is this, it's just a deal." Besides, it's a loss to your father, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to study at Stanford. ”
Xia Ning looked at him and asked softly, "You really didn't hate me?" Obviously, I abandoned you, but I still want you to bear the notoriety? Although my father funded you, it was he who destroyed your scholarship program. ”
"It doesn't matter. Yuan Chenfei shook his head: "Do you know? Sometimes men are willing to be evil rather than fail. ”
Xia Ningle said: "If you are abandoned, you will fail?"
"At least for me then. ”
"Then in your heart, is victory more important, or am I more important?" Xia Ning asked.
Yuan Chenfei was stunned, he thought for a moment and then shook his head: "None of this matters now, what matters is survival, how to survive in this new era." ”
Xia Ning: "You know that if I want to survive, I don't need to rely on Chang Mao and this mutual aid association. ”
"Yes, of course I do. Yuan Chenfei said with a smile.
Xia Ning's father is a high-ranking official, and it can be said that he is a prince, and even now he still has a decisive influence.
It's just a small class reunion, Xia Ning really doesn't care about it.
"However, have you ever thought that after the new era comes, the most vulnerable to the impact are also those who are high up in the old order?" Yuan Chenfei asked.
Xia Ning replied: "I know, but I know even more that every time the times change, it is not those who can really go to the top, but the middle and high classes that are still at the top of the relative top." ”
In the history of China, the so-called peasant uprisings turned over and became the masters, and very few of them were really successful.
The vast majority of those who overthrew the old dynasty and achieved the new dynasty were still the original big power stratum - it was the big forces that were overthrown, and it was still the big forces that replaced it, this is the reality.
This is also determined by people's limitations, and people who stand tall often see far.
For example, now, Chang Mao, who organized the bureau, is a typical second-generation official with his own company. He can spend money to invite everyone to dinner, have a younger brother to speak for him, and can also pay for crystal coins.
Dick silk can't do it.
You can't even afford to eat.
As for Xia Ning, who can say that she and the people behind her don't have similar actions?
Even if it doesn't exist now, it doesn't mean that there won't be one in the future. And with the size of the other party, as long as it moves, it is a thunderball.
Why is the blood in Liu Yang's notes so expensive?
It is because of the existence of these big families that they exchange a large number of Huaxia coins for crystal coins, obtain a lot of wealth, and then buy blood spirits, achieve themselves, and continue their position as people. It can be said that the high value of blood, the first factor is its unequal supply and demand, which is the core, and the second factor is that these big nobles rely on wealth to fuel the fire, using money to settle everything, such as Yuan Chenfei is doing this now, and the third factor is the emergence of the crystal coin banking system.
In this era of change, a small number of low-level people may have the opportunity to rise, but more opportunities are still for the middle and upper classes.
The price of blood has not skyrocketed yet, just because the time is too short.
The extended families are still watching, gathering information, and making decisions.
This must take time, and it is also a common problem for large enterprises to turn around slowly, but again, as long as they turn around, they are an unstoppable force.
Chang Mao, as the bottom molecule in the second generation of officials, turned around relatively quickly.
Xia Ning...... It's hard to say.
Yuan Chenfei didn't know, but he knew how smart and powerful this woman was.
That's something he's developed and has learned more about.
Maybe it's because she's so powerful, so Yuan Chenfei didn't feel too much pain when he lost her, and then he realized that he didn't love her either.
As a man, especially an ambitious man, he prefers to protect women and preside over the overall situation by himself, rather than being held in the palm of his hand by women.
Xia Ning is the kind of strong woman who is not suitable for herself.
But you can be friends and partners.
So hearing Xia Ning's words at this moment, Yuan Chenfei nodded: "That's right, but it's always good to have a way out." ”
Xia Ning was a little strange: "What benefits did Chang Mao give you to make you talk to him like this?"
Yuan Chenfei replied: "Chang Mao agreed to help me buy some white crystals, if this is a benefit, then right." But the real reason is that I also tend to do it...... There has to be an organization. ”
"Why don't you lead yourself?" Xia Ning asked again.
Yuan Chenfei shook his head: "That's too time-consuming and energy-consuming, and it will delay a lot of things." ”
Xia Ning lowered her head and thought for a while: "The person who can say this is either too unambitious or very ambitious...... You don't belong to the former, that's the latter. Can make you think that the Mutual Aid Society is not as important as your time...... You're confident in yourself, huh?"
Sure enough, it's a powerful woman, did you guess it so quickly?
Yuan Chenfei smiled, there was no interface.
He knew what Xia Ning was going to say next.
Sure enough, Xia Ning had already asked, "How many levels are you?"
"Level five. Yuan Chenfei replied.
Xia Ning's eyes showed a look of clarity: "No wonder you are so confident." ”
Yuan Chenfei smiled bitterly.
In fact, level is really not his dependence, but at this stage when everyone still doesn't know about the game of the gods, everyone generally regards level as the first factor in weighing strength. In fact, he rushed to the level fast at the beginning just to use the strength brought by the level to deal with those elite monsters, and in the days to come, he was destined to be slower and slower, and there were destined to be a group of people whose level surpassed him.
Yuan Chenfei didn't care about this, but he couldn't help but care about Xia Ning.
Anyway, she was also the first woman in his life.
So after thinking about it, he said: "You should know that when we do things in an environment, we must first understand the rules of the environment, and only by understanding the rules, and then following and using the rules, can we make ourselves better." ”
Xia Ning frowned: "What do you mean?"
"As far as I know, in the rules of the gods, rank is not the most important, not even second. Yuan Chenfei replied.
Xia Ning lowered her head and thought for a while, and somewhat understood: "Yes, there are some weirdness in the game of the gods, we haven't figured it out yet, and we can't simply think that the level is high." ”
"By the way, your initial element is wind, right?" asked Yuan Chenfei.
Hearing this question, Xia Ning's eyes were obviously surprised.
