Chapter 333 He is the boss! (Two chapters in one)
An extra-large jet airliner took off from the Beijing airport and soared into the sky.
Several students from the Peking University Debate Team were so excited that they couldn't express it in words as they watched the buildings on the ground outside the window getting smaller and smaller.
A few years ago, they were all students who "only devoted themselves to reading the books of sages". Who would have thought that one day they would ride on a big iron bird with wings like the characters in the movies?
Only the team leader Zhou, who was in charge of the overseas competition, and Li Ye acted very calmly.
Team leader Zhou had many experiences traveling overseas, and Li Ye was even more so. In his previous life, he made a lot of money and enjoyed the air squatting service when he was upgraded to a higher cabin class. Now he could be considered well-informed.
After the plane took off, Qin Yongsheng saw Li Ye beside him with his eyes closed and a calm expression, so he gently touched his arm.
"Li Ye, does your ear hurt?"
Li Ye opened his eyes and smiled, "We are all of the same species. If your ears are uncomfortable, how can I be any different? It's all normal. You'll get used to it in a little while."
In fact, Li Ye's ears didn't feel any discomfort at all. Since he came to this world, all aspects of his body's functions have been continuously improving, and his adaptability is extremely strong.
"Oh~"
Qin Yongsheng didn't ask any more questions. He silently opened his mouth and breathed as Team Leader Zhou had said, just like Pavlov in the summer, hoping to relieve the pain in his ears.
Li Ye took a look and felt that Qin Yongsheng might have Eustachian tube dysfunction, which was a serious condition. Otherwise, why had he not adapted to the situation after taking off for quite a while?
So he hesitated for a moment, took out a pack of chewing gum from his pocket, took out a stick and handed it to Qin Yongsheng.
"Try this chewing gum, it's said to be more effective."
“.”
After Qin Yongsheng tried it, the pain in his ears was indeed greatly reduced.
"Give me one, too."
"I want one too."
"Li Ye, you should have taken it out earlier! I've been in pain for a long time."
The other students also asked Li Ye for it.
Li Ye was speechless. He could only distribute the gum to others while scolding them with a smile: "This is a gift from my female classmate. It's good enough to share one with you. Don't be so arrogant!"
Wen Leyu was very considerate. Since Li Ye was going to Lijiaopo, he specially prepared a "tropical travel kit" for him. Many items such as cooling oil, sunscreen, mosquito repellent, and PPA were bought at the Friendship Store.
Qin Yongsheng twisted his mouth and said with deliberate contempt: "Tsk~, you value women over friendship."
The oldest one, Qiao Dapeng, sighed and said, "Alas, that can't be said. Li Ye is the one who believes in love above all else. I admire him deeply."
Li Ye's decision to give up studying in Lijiaopo eventually led to several versions of rumors.
One of them is that Li Ye is willing to stay in the mainland for Wen Leyu to maintain their love, which is both admirable and regrettable.
In sharp contrast to him are those people who write flowery love poems all day long. Once they see the opportunity to go abroad, they are eight times more enthusiastic than moths to a flame.
Yang Chen laughed softly and said, “If you lose something in one place, you will gain something in another. I really envy Li Ye. Maybe by the time we finish our studies, his children will be able to help out.”
Qiao Dapeng said mischievously: "That's hard to say. What if a local rich man recruits you as his son-in-law while you're studying abroad?"
“.”
Yang Chen and Qin Yongsheng were both stunned, and neither knew how to respond.
After all, they went to study in Lijiaopo not to become sons-in-law of rich men, but to learn skills to serve their motherland.
But Li Ye said quietly: "Then they have to tell us the location of their ancestral graves, and we will go and light a bunch of green cigarettes for them."
“Hahahaha~”
"Ahem~, you all should pay attention to your image!"
With a not-so-harsh remark from team leader Zhou, several excited young people immediately calmed down. They sat upright without looking to the side, trying their best to act like the elegant and refined image that a well-mannered student should have.
Li Ye laughed slightly, but also felt a little helpless, because their image had been rehearsed according to the requirements.
If you heard about this decades later, you would definitely think it was rigid and dogmatic, just like the football cheerleading team in North Korea, where even their celebration movements are uniform.
But after Li Ye was really in it, he felt the profound characteristics of the times.
We are behind, but we will never bend our heads or give in. Facing everyone's ridicule and disdain, I stubbornly hold my head high.
. . . . . . .
Nearly three hours after taking off from Beijing, the plane arrived over Hong Kong Island and prepared to land.
"Li Ye, have we arrived at Hong Kong Island yet? Give me a piece of chewing gum! Otherwise, my ears might hurt again later."
"I want one too."
"I want one too."
"Fasten your seat belts."
"I want some gum, you stingy guy. I know how to fasten my seat belt. I learned it in one try. I don't need your help."
"Fasten your seat belts! Hong Kong Island Airport is one of the most dangerous airports in the world. You still have time to make a fuss."
"What? Don't scare us."
Qin Yongsheng and others were busy fastening their seat belts, and after doing so they checked again and again to see if they were in place.
Of course, Li Ye’s chewing gum was also saved.
Fear works better than any chewing gum.
In the early 1980s, many flights from the mainland to the rest of the country would transfer in Hong Kong Island, which indirectly led to the prosperity of Hong Kong Island's Kai Tak Airport.
However, the take-off and landing conditions at Kai Tak Airport in Hong Kong Island are very poor. It is surrounded by mountains on three sides, high-rise buildings in the urban area all around, and the runway is short.
Let’s just say that! There have been a total of 12 air crashes at Kai Tak Airport, causing a total of 270 deaths. This accident rate is definitely among the highest among major airports in the world.
When the plane was descending very low, Li Ye kindly gave a few students some advice.
"The plane will probably make a sharp turn in a moment, so don't panic or you'll attract attention."
As soon as he finished speaking, the plane Li Ye was on suddenly began to turn sharply to the right, and the entire fuselage of the plane began to tilt.
Qiao Dapeng happened to be sitting at the right side window of the plane, staring blankly at the changing angles between the plane and the tall buildings on the ground, with mathematical formulas quickly popping up in his mind.
"It's crooked. It's over. It's over."
Hearing Qiao Dapeng's words, Yang Chen and Qin Yongsheng also turned their heads to look over, their faces also changed suddenly and their heartbeats quickened.
At this moment, the three students forgot Li Ye's instructions and instead thought that Li Ye was a bad-mouthed person.
But that's what Kai Tak Airport is like.
When landing at other airports, planes can align with the runway and land slowly more than ten kilometers in advance. However, because of the mountains surrounding Kai Tak Airport, it is necessary to make a large angle turn at a low altitude of 300 meters.
This highly difficult flying method of making sharp turns between low altitude, mountains and tall buildings at the same time is unique in the world. Pilots with poor skills are not qualified to fly to Kai Tak Airport.
"Squeak~"
The plane landed on the runway with a loud sound of tires screeching.
Li Ye's three classmates also turned around and looked at Li Ye with resentment.
They felt that if Li Ye had not said what he just said, they would not have panicked and come here without knowing anything.
Especially Qiao Dapeng, he felt like he was about to be socially dead.
It's so embarrassing.
Li Ye glanced at them and quietly reached out and pointed at a blond old man on the left side of the cabin.
The three of them bent over and saw the old man making the sign of the cross on his chest.
Li Ye said: "People who often take this route have coined a term, 'Eik Heart Disease', so you guys are doing very well."
The three of them looked around and found that no one was paying attention to them, so they calmed down.
But they didn't notice the slightly raised corners of Li Ye's mouth.
This person is Li Ye! People from Dongshan are open-minded and generally not stingy.
But when it comes to Wen Leyu, he becomes a little stingy. He said before that the chewing gum was a gift from his girlfriend, but he still wants it back one by one.
This is like in the future when a girlfriend gives a box of chocolates, and a group of bad friends demand that everyone who sees it get a share.
. . . . . . .
However, while waiting for the transfer in Hong Kong Island, Li Ye bought a few boxes of chewing gum at the duty-free shop and threw one box to each of the guys, which made them both moved and ashamed.
"Li Ye, do you still have Hong Kong dollars in your hand?"
"Ah, I didn't spend all the money last time I came to Hong Kong Island, so I'll just spend it this time."
"Hong Kong Island is really prosperous, but shopping is also really expensive. Such a small thing costs several dollars."
Qin Yongsheng played with the chewing gum in his hand and felt that the colorful wrapping paper looked like it was made of banknotes.
"Hong Kong Island is like this. There are rich people and ordinary people. The salary here is very high, but the prices are also high. Many ordinary people can't save much money in their lifetime and can't afford to buy a house."
Li Ye had just told Qin Yongsheng and the others the real situation in Hong Kong Island when a man with a split hair who was also waiting for the flight suddenly turned around and said a lot of Cantonese to Li Ye and the others.
Qin Yongsheng, Yang Chen and others didn't understand, so they asked Li Ye: "What is he saying?"
Li Ye looked at the other party and said coldly: "I don't know, I can't understand bird calls either."
“.”
The man with the split hair was stunned for several seconds, then started to complain to Li Ye again. However, as Li Ye's eyes became colder and colder, his tone became lower and lower, showing that he was a bit timid.
The look in the eyes of people who have fought since childhood and those who have quarreled since childhood is definitely different.
Li Ye is a ruthless man who can fight thirteen people alone. It is impossible to say that he does not have some special aura.
But before Li Ye could get further out of his temper, another man wearing glasses came over and started accusing the man with the side-parted hair. His voice was loud and his words were sharp. In just a few minutes, he had made the other man angry and embarrassed.
The man with the split hair stood up angrily and reached out to push him, but as soon as his hand touched the man with glasses' chest, he suddenly felt like he was electrocuted and fell back into his seat with a thud.
The man with the split hair was stunned, and so were the people around him.
The conflict happened so quickly that no one could see clearly what happened.
But Li Ye saw clearly that this man with glasses was a traditional martial artist, and his level was not low.
The man with the split hair fell down and was stunned for a moment. Without saying a word, he picked up his luggage and left.
The man with glasses walked towards Li Ye and the others and said with a smile: "Don't bother with him. We are all flower growers. We shouldn't look down on each other. There are very few people as narrow-minded as him."
The man with glasses had a warm expression and tone, but Qin Yongsheng, Yang Chen and the others were all on guard.
Because this person's accent has a faint flavor from across the strait.
Before leaving the capital, Li Ye and others received special disciplinary training, which included relevant precautions.
However, when Li Ye looked at the man in front of him, who was about thirty years old, he always felt that he looked familiar.
In the end, it was the other person's large square face that played a role.
"Sir, is your last name Wen?"
"How do you know my last name is Wen?"
The square-faced man with glasses looked at Li Ye in disbelief.
Li Ye smiled and said, "Not only do I know that Mr. Wen's surname is Wen, but I also know that he had called for 'reviving the flower-growing culture and promoting the national spirit' seven years ago.
Moreover, because he secretly kept Taizu's poems and privately circulated the works of Ba Jin, Cao Yu, Shen Congwen and others, he was persecuted and imprisoned on the other side of the strait on the charge of "propaganda for bandits." ”
“.”
When Li Ye said this, not only Mr. Wen was stunned, but Qin Yongsheng and others were also stunned.
These two short sentences contain a lot of information
Propaganda for bandits?
Which bandit are you promoting for?
Need I say more? Didn’t you see whose books he secretly kept?
Just these few words of Li Ye clearly showed this person's "flower-growing attribute", and also dispelled the concerns of Qin Yongsheng and others.
Mr. Wen looked at Li Ye for two seconds, then stretched out his hand and said, "Hello, I'm Wen Ruian, little brother, you are..."
Li Ye smiled and shook hands with the other party, saying, "My name is Li Ye. The reason why I know about Mr. is because I know Pei Wencong from Talang Literary Publishing House. I know a lot about Mr. from him."
"Li Ye?"
Wen Ruian frowned slightly, and suddenly asked: "You are the Seven-Inch Blade, right?"
Li Ye said with some surprise: "I didn't expect that you would know a nobody like me. Nice to meet you."
"How can you say you are nobody? You are so modest, so modest."
Wen Ruian sat down next to Li Ye and said enthusiastically: "I went to Lijiapo to attend the exchange meeting this time just to meet you! I didn't expect to meet you here. We are destined to be brothers."
Li Ye looked at the enthusiastic Wen Ruian and felt secretly happy in his heart.
Although time travelers have their own unique style, it still feels a sense of accomplishment to be able to sit down and talk with a martial arts master.
Although many readers in later generations have different opinions on Wen Ruian's works, it cannot be denied that Wen is the most outstanding martial arts novelist after Gu Liangjin.
Moreover, this gentleman not only writes martial arts novels, but also has a sense of "chivalrous spirit".
Wen Ruian was originally from Meixian County, Guangdong Province. His father, Wen Weimin, was once a subordinate of Hua Shuai. Later, he went to Southeast Asia and settled in Malaysia.
When Wen Ruian was a teenager, he experienced the turmoil of the three major Malay ethnic groups, the Malays, the Florists and the White Elephants, uniting to fight for independence. He also experienced the educational control over the Florists after Malay independence.
Later, he went to study on the other side of the strait and founded the Shenzhou Poetry Society on the other side of the strait with the aim of "reviving Chinese culture and promoting national spirit."
Wen Ruian is a great admirer of flower-growing martial arts. Influenced by his father who is good at Hung Gar, he has practiced boxing and kicking since he was a child. He has also learned northern short fighting, Tan leg and other kung fu, and also studied Yang family boxing and Shaolin tiger-crane double-form boxing.
So after founding the poetry club, he advocated the simultaneous study of literature and martial arts, and named the place where the poetry club was located "Shijian Villa".
Besides discussing poetry and essays, they also practiced boxing and martial arts, and even adopted pen names such as "Jianxiong", "Qingyan", "Saoyue", etc.
There are hundreds of members all over Taiwan, and they have strict discipline. With one order, hundreds of people can quickly gather at Shijian Villa from all over Taiwan overnight.
Look, look, why did this martial arts master create such a vast world of martial arts?
Because at the beginning, he really wanted to become a "boss"!
"Little brother, I visited Pei Wencong last year, but he didn't reveal any details about you. He is very stingy.
This time when you go to Lijiapo, we have to have a good chat. Several of our friends are very interested in your school."
"How can I be considered a school of thought?" Li Ye said with a modest smile, "I just like to write some historical stories about flower growers, but I dare not say that I have founded a school of thought."
"No, no, no, you are still too modest."
Wen Ruian shook his head repeatedly and said, "After reading your novels, we all feel a little ashamed. You clearly uphold the profound culture of the Flower Planting Family, but you always write about petty underworld stories."
After Wen Ruian said this, Li Ye understood something.
His "The North Wind Blowing" and "The Lone Soldier Looking Homeward" written by Yang Yumin may not be of high literary level, but they have benefited from the cultural heritage of flower planting for 5,000 years.
In the entire Confucian cultural circle, is there any other country whose history can have similar historical war materials? Can it support a grand historical novel?
That is, it has something to do with Japan, so you can write about Nobunaga and Hideyoshi, and their Warring States period.
But that was just a fight between tens of thousands of troops, maneuvering within a few hundred miles. It's like setting up a temple in a snail shell, doesn't it still seem petty in the end?
But in the long history of flower planting, there are countless wars involving more than 100,000 people, countless classic battles with countless ingenious strategies, and countless outstanding generals who were good at planning and strategizing.
There are also some creative materials for palace fighting film and television works with the main theme of quarreling, because there are countless powerful queens and concubines recorded in history, and there are countless plots of quarreling to get to the top.
Under these conditions, why don't you let others compete with you?
Who else?
The center of the universe?
If their king wants to ascend the throne, he has to submit a petition to the Flower-Growing Family to request the title! After being blown up by the enemy, we have to rush eight hundred miles to ask for help from the flower grower!
So when "My Fair Princess" was broadcast on the center of the universe, it was so popular that it was even banned.
It means interrupting the broadcast and not allowing you to broadcast. If you continue to broadcast, you will be led by others.
As for Malaysia, Luzon and other places in Southeast Asia, let alone such places. They are just small-scale operations. Not many people will read historical works written about them, and filming historical TV series will also be a loss.
"In fact, both the martial arts world and history have their own merits. The martial arts world is more down-to-earth. Mr. Wen's martial arts novels are still very popular in the mainland."
"In addition, many people in the mainland are also working hard to promote history and culture, such as the Blue Ocean Publishing House in the island city. If there is a chance in the future, I hope Mr. Wen can go to the mainland to take a look."
"If I have a chance, I will definitely go and take a look. I will definitely take a look."
Wen Ruian is only thirty years old this year, not too much younger than Li Ye, and they get along very well when talking.
However, they only talked for a few minutes before they were interrupted by Team Leader Zhou who came hurriedly over.
At first he thought Li Ye was asking something to a passerby, but as he watched them become more and more excited in the conversation, he had to come over to check it out.
He has the responsibility to supervise and protect Li Ye and others.
As a result, when Team Leader Zhou heard the Straits accent in Wen Ruian's speech, he quickly pushed Li Ye and others aside. He did not give Li Ye another chance to speak until they boarded the plane and landed.
. . . . . .
Everyone arrived at Lijiaopo smoothly and, under the arrangement of the reception staff, stayed in a mid-range hotel.
But it was this mid-range hotel that made Qin Yongsheng and others feel curious.
"Li Ye, do you want to take a shower? If not, I'll do it for you!"
"Didn't you just wash? Even grown girls don't wash so often."
"This place is too sweaty. I'll be fine in a moment. When I'm fine, it will be time for dinner."
Li Ye had no choice but to watch Qin Yongsheng happily lying in the bathtub to take a bath again, feeling the feeling of having his own bathing space.
Even in the bathhouses in the mainland in the 1980s, it was difficult for the general public to find such clear bathing conditions unless they were members of special groups.
"Dongdongdong~"
After the knock on the door, Team Leader Zhou, Yang Chen, and Qiao Dapeng pushed the door open and walked in.
"Student Li Ye, let's talk about the situation briefly. I hope you don't misunderstand me."
Leader Zhou waved his hand and asked Li Ye to sit down, then said: "I talked to Mr. Wen. Although he did show strong patriotic sentiments, we must make some preparations just in case."
Li Ye asked in confusion: "What preparations? Could he kidnap me?"
"It's always better to be cautious," said Team Leader Zhou with a serious expression, "I have asked Mr. Wen about this cultural exchange that you received an invitation to, and there will be many writers from across the Strait participating.
We haven't established formal diplomatic relations with Lijiaopo yet. If something unexpected happens, it might be difficult to deal with, so it's always better to be cautious. ”
Li Ye looked at Team Leader Zhou in surprise, not understanding why he was too cautious.
But Team Leader Zhou continued, "We have considered it and hope that you can bring at least two classmates or teachers with you when you go to the rally. If they are unwilling, then you'd better not attend."
Seeing Li Ye's puzzled look, Team Leader Zhou said, "This is the best way. First, it can guarantee your safety. Second, you are now a well-known person. Be careful so that people don't find fault with you in the future."
“.”
Li Ye looked into Captain Zhou's eyes and finally understood his intention to protect him.
He is a professional and understands some things better than Li Ye.
"Thank you, Captain Zhou. I'll give them a call and ask. If it doesn't work, I won't participate."
Li Ye called the cultural exchange contact number and said that several literature lovers wanted to go together.
The other party did not reply to Li Ye immediately, but called back half an hour later to say yes.
"Li Ye, Li Ye, can you take me to have a look?"
"Take me, take me, you can't be partial to one and ignore the other"
Several classmates immediately surrounded Li Ye, like a group of gourmets waiting for a delicious dish that was about to come out of the oven.
