Chapter 141 Wang Guoping's students are here
Cao He took Fan Xiangyang through the streets and alleys of Changdu Town. There were no signboards, and illegal buildings blocked the road, so they had to divert traffic. As they walked, they ended up walking into someone else's house.
There were muddy roads everywhere, debris from fireworks and firecrackers could be seen everywhere, and some people even slaughtered pigs in the streets. The blood and stench made people nauseous.
He suppressed his impatience, and after asking someone to confirm the location, he continued walking with Secretary Fan.
Cao He glanced at Secretary Fan. He didn't look impatient at all. Instead, he looked very energetic, and his eyes were looking at everything around him with curiosity.
After all, young people are full of energy.
The closer Cao He got to the address, the more nervous he became.
Wang Guoping is a professor of economics at University A and a senior professor who returned from the United States.
As someone who had not even attended high school, he was not qualified to be a student of the teacher. However, in order to become his apprentice, he showed up at the teacher's door for six consecutive months, helping the teacher's wife cook and taking care of his younger brothers and sisters. The teacher's wife felt sorry for him and finally persuaded the teacher to accept him because of his thoughtfulness.
After actually studying with his teacher, he realized his lessons were completely useless. The teacher was teaching macroeconomic regulation, not the stock market, and there was no way he could get rich instantly. He begged the teacher to let him get into university through the back door, but the teacher refused, saying he couldn't get into university without a high school diploma. He even suggested he go back to high school and take the exam to get into university!
All the shortcuts that had been envisioned failed, and Cao He's gratitude towards Wang Guoping turned into resentment.
At the start of the movement, another economics professor who had a conflict with the teacher revealed a piece of news: as long as he reported the teacher, Wang Guoping's position would be vacant and he could be promoted to become a university professor!
Cao He was moved and reported the teacher without hesitation. After the matter was done, he became an economics professor as he wished and lived in the big house where his teacher once lived. Everything was as beautiful as he had imagined.
But just last month, the country recruited a large number of economics professors to the central government to give opinions on future economic reforms. Cao He and the professor who suggested that he report his teacher were also transferred.
But he and the professor were both idiots who knew nothing about anything. The leader was furious and wanted to fire them and investigate them.
The professor was dragged away. Cao He was so scared that his legs went weak. At the critical moment, he had an idea and thought of his teacher.
He shouted out the teacher's name loudly and said that the teacher was locked up in the cowshed because he was framed by the professor, and he wanted to redress the teacher's innocence.
Cao He escaped the disaster temporarily because of this sudden inspiration, and the leader asked him to bring the teacher back.
But the day before his teacher was sent to the cowshed, he specially bought a gift and told the teacher the truth. His teacher's wife couldn't accept the fact and was furious. He could never forget the look his teacher gave him before she left, his eyes bloodshot and full of hatred.
Thinking of this, Cao He felt a rare sense of regret in his heart. He shouldn't have shown off at that time.
If the teacher forgives him, he will continue to be the teacher's student, take care of him, and provide for his old age and funeral. If the teacher does not forgive him, he will hold the cloth bag with a cold look in his eyes.
"Professor Cao."
Cao He turned his head to look at Fan Xiangyang and asked with a smile, "What's wrong?"
"What kind of person is the old professor?" Fan Xiangyang asked curiously.
Cao He's heart moved, and he sighed and pretended to be melancholy. "Master has a bad temper. Maybe all geniuses have a little temper. If the teacher says something unpleasant, you must understand. After all, he has lived in the bullpen for so long, his personality is bound to be a little extreme."
Seeing Secretary Fan frowning slightly, Cao He chuckled inwardly, but continued with a worried look, "Teacher was very withdrawn when he was in college, made many enemies, and didn't have many friends around him. He might be angry that I haven't visited him in all these years. Secretary Fan, please bear with me."
Secretary Fan comforted Cao He and said, "During this special period, it's not your fault that you can't come to see the old professor. If the old professor is really angry about this kind of thing, I will also persuade him."
Cao He shook Secretary Fan's hand gratefully: "Thank you, Secretary Fan."
"You're welcome, Professor Cao."
Fan Xiangyang got this job suddenly, so he naturally didn't know that the economics professor in front of him who looked like a respectable person didn't even have a high school diploma.
Professor Cao was approachable and always smiling, which made Fan Xiangyang admire him and have a good impression of him.
Therefore, when Fan Xiangyang heard Professor Cao say that the old professor had a bad temper and was a loner, he immediately believed it.
As the two of them were talking, they came to the door.
Fan Xiangyang walked up the steps and knocked on the door. While waiting for it to open, he thought he would see a lonely, bad-tempered and dirty old man, and he suddenly became nervous.
The door slammed open, and the noisy sounds inside suddenly exploded like fireworks. The sun was shining brightly in the yard, and the opera singing from the radio, accompanied by the rich aroma of meat, instantly opened Fan Xiangyang's mouth.
He opened his mouth uncontrollably and looked at everything in the yard.
Didn't Professor Cao say his teacher was aloof and bad-tempered? What was going on in this bustling courtyard? Had he come to the wrong place?
The middle-aged man who opened the door asked in a deep voice, "Comrades, who are you looking for?"
Fan Xiangyang replied blankly, "Let's go find Professor Wang Guoping."
The middle-aged man frowned slightly, turned around and shouted inside: "Ye Rou, someone is here looking for an old professor named Wang Guoping!"
Ye Rou was whispering to Xiao Shitou if someone was bullying him.
Little Stone refused to say anything.
Suddenly hearing Jiang Weiguo shouting this, Ye Rou looked stern and said, "Here I come."
The murderer who stabbed Mr. Wang to death in the book is here.
She wanted to put down the little stone in her arms, but seeing Wang Qiaohe next to her looking impatient to take the little stone away, she hugged the little stone tightly and walked to the door.
There were two people standing one in front and one behind, the younger man had a dazed look in his eyes.
The middle-aged man standing at the back wore gold-rimmed glasses and kept stealing glances into the yard. In the cold winter, he was sweating profusely and seemed very nervous.
Ye Rou's eyes fell on the cloth bag tightly held in the middle-aged man's hand.
Seeing the middle-aged man looking at her warily, Ye Rou understood what was going on and asked, "What do you want from Mr. Wang?"
Fan Xiangyang stared blankly at the young woman who suddenly walked out. For a moment, he suddenly felt that there was a movie world behind the door and everything seemed unreal.
The woman was holding a child. Her bright red sweater did not look tacky but instead made her skin look fair, her features gorgeous, and her eyebrows and eyes picturesque.
He said in a daze, "We are here to vindicate Professor Wang and invite him to attend the Central Economic Reform Conference."
After Fan Xiangyang finished speaking, the middle-aged man who opened the door clapped his hands and said happily: "This is good news!"
The young woman nodded as well. She said softly, "It's indeed a good thing. Please come in."
She walked in front holding the child, and Fan Xiangyang and Cao He walked in together.
