Chapter 504 Helping Lan Xin is My Self-Intention
Xiang Sanqiu was indeed very clever. When I was almost driving home, he called me:
"Teacher Wan, are you home yet?"
“Almost there.”
"Send me the location and I'll come visit."
I thought about it and said, "I'll call you later."
It was almost nine in the evening when I got home. After parking the car, I went into the study and sat for a while, making tea before calling Xiang Sanqiu.
"Boss Xiang, you don't have to come over. If you have any ideas, tell us on the phone."
He said, "Okay, it's so late so as not to disturb your rest. I will just briefly tell you what I think."
So, he spoke his mind. As I listened, I began to think. I had to record what he said about this guy, Ball. If he started making trouble, I'd have something on him.
It's not that I have a bad heart, it's that there are many people with bad hearts. People in society can take advantage of them but also have to be on guard against them. So, I said:
"Say it again. I don't quite understand. Just be straightforward and don't be vague."
He said, "Okay."
As he recounted it again, I began recording.
After he finished, I said, "Let's hold off for now. We'll contact you when the time comes. In short, courtesy comes first, force comes later."
I went upstairs and took a nice shower.
Xiao Lin said, "What are you busy with? You don't come home all day long."
"Ah, do you think it's easy to make over 100,000 yuan a month?"
Xiao Lin said, "I actually hope you can quit that job. We can live on the interest. Besides, you have invested in Mr. Deng.
You can sit at home and make money, so why bother working so hard?
"You're right. After helping Mr. Chen this time, I won't be responsible for any specific work. I'll just give him some advice in the future. I'll just be an advisor."
"I'm very satisfied with my current life. You should take a break. No matter how much money you have, you still have to live."
I said, "I don't want to chat with you anymore. I'm very tired today. Let me have a good sleep."
…
When you wake up, there is nothing wrong in the world.
I think the Tanhuali project will not be completed in a short time, so let them do it first.
So I called Mr. Chen, reported some of my ideas, and made a request.
The requirement was that I would not participate in any bidding activities. I would only come to organize a ceremony before the school's groundbreaking ceremony.
Mr. Chen said, "Okay, you've worked hard, have a good rest."
After the call, I couldn't help but want to go see Master and his wife, so I told my mother I had to go to work and wouldn't be back until dinner.
My mother said, "You have another car?"
"I've always had it, but I just kept it at the company and never brought it back."
She said, "Be careful on your way."
I drove out of Huaxi Lake, took the ring road, entered the highway exit, and then rushed all the way to Wuxiang.
I didn't call. That would have taken away the surprise.
Arriving in Wuxiang a little after ten o'clock, I drove to a supermarket to buy some gifts. As I was walking around, I suddenly saw a portable toilet.
The salesperson immediately caught my needs and came over to introduce:
"If you have children and elderly people at home, this is the most practical. There's a drawer underneath. You can pull it out and empty it."
I think Master has always had the problem of frequent and urgent urination. As people age, they often urinate at night.
"Buy two, for the elderly."
After putting these two items into the shopping cart, I went downstairs to pay, put them in the trunk, and then went to the tobacco and alcohol cabinet to buy two packs of cigarettes and two bottles of wine.
When I was carrying my things out of the supermarket, I ran into Principal Cao head-on (see the chapter "All Humans Are Premature Babies").
She stood there in shock, asking in disbelief: "Wan..."
I laughed and said, "Principal, it's Wan Shanhong. You've changed so much? You don't even recognize me."
She pressed her chest and said, "I never thought I would run into you here."
There were people coming and going at the supermarket entrance. We stood at the side and chatted for a while.
She said, "I really want to thank you. Tianai changed for the better after your teaching, and she got into university."
"That's mainly because he's not a bad person at heart. It was just the rebellious psychology of adolescence that was causing trouble."
"That's not the case. You do have a way with the art of educating people. Okay, let's talk about this later. Come to my house for dinner."
I explained the situation to her repeatedly, and she said with some regret, "Then I'll bring him upstate to visit you next time."
When we arrived at Master's house, I honked the horn a few times, but no one responded. I walked in without picking up anything. The living room was empty.
I went straight to the study and saw Master and his wife talking.
When they saw me, they both stood up and looked at me in surprise, a little suddenly.
I said, "I'm here to see Master and his wife."
The master's hands trembled slightly as he said, "What's the matter?"
I guess he was thinking, "Something must have happened. If my parents had died, I'd wear a white cloth and kneel at the door." But I just smiled.
"What's the matter? I just missed you guys."
They finally realized what was happening. My wife took my hand and said, "Let me see you. It's a mountain rhinoceros. It's a mountain rhinoceros.
You kid, you didn't even call before you left. I was worried that something might happen to your parents."
I smiled and said, "Just like you, I am living a good life."
The master said, "Sit down."
The Master's wife said, "Please sit down. I'll go get you some tea."
I said, "I thought you weren't home, so I went to the car and got some stuff in."
When I entered the study again, the master's wife served me fruit and tea.
I gave the cigarettes and alcohol to my wife, and then handed over the portable toilet and taught her how to use it.
The Master's wife wiped away the tears from her eyes with joy and said:
"You are more attentive than Sister Li. You are my son and worth a daughter."
The master complained to his wife: "Why do you make people stand all the time? And then you tell me to sit down."
The Master's wife left with the gift. The Master gave me a cigarette.
We chatted for a while, and I introduced some recent events. The master nodded and said:
"Deng Fugen is someone you can work with. He didn't have many educations, but he loves to learn, so he never falls behind."
"Yes, Mr. Deng's way of thinking is something I sometimes have to keep up with. He has a special quality of making light of heavy tasks. It's hard for most people to do that."
The master said, "He has another advantage: he's not impatient. I think this is what you should learn from him. Only by being calm can you achieve great things."
People say Zhuge Liang is the embodiment of wisdom, but in fact, his shortcoming is impatience. He was eager to unify the Central Plains. If time is not pressing, the power of an individual is limited.
I said, "You are absolutely right. Now that we have entered the intelligent age, I predict that in the next wave, society will undergo profound changes."
Intelligence is like Faraday inventing the world's first electric motor in the 19th century.
From the time humans first understood and discovered electricity to the time it was first used in electrical appliances, this brought about a groundbreaking change in the world."
The master sighed, "I am old now. You must study harder. Only by studying harder can you guide others. The budding of any new thing always leaves many people indifferent or even obstructing it."
For example, when the train was invented, horse-drawn carriage workers blocked construction, and the British government had to order that the speed of trains could not exceed that of carriages. This was because they were afraid that the unemployed workers would cause unrest.
I said, "That's right. Even the railway tracks are not allowed to be wider than a horse's butt."
The master asked, "Mr. Chen is still involved in real estate?"
I nodded and said, "He can't get over it. People are always limited by their times. The knowledge he learned in his time is not enough to enable him to develop new technologies, international finance, and trade."
"Yes, the predecessors are all ridiculous in front of the later generations."
After chatting for a while, the teacher's wife came in. I deliberately led the topic to Lan Xin and asked:
"Where is my aunt's daughter?"
The master said nothing and glanced at his wife.
The wife said, "Marrying someone in Africa is pointless; it's a waste of all our efforts.
Now, apart from sending us a message to wish us a happy new year during the Lunar New Year, he doesn’t send us a single word at other times, let alone a phone call to say hello.”
My heart sank.
The master said, "It was all my brother's wife who made the wrong choice. I disagreed at the time. But my brother... Shanhong, I think you made the right choice by choosing Xiaolin. A good woman strengthens three generations."
I didn't continue the conversation, knowing it would only upset the elders. I didn't even ask about Long Ge's condition. I just picked out the things that made them happy.
At noon, the nanny at Master's house prepared a sumptuous meal. I drank a drink with Master.
After lunch, the master's wife said, "Stay one night before leaving."
I said, "I'll come to see you again during the Dragon Boat Festival."
The master's wife's face turned fierce: "Shanhong, I have prepared a house specially for you. I never let anyone else live there. I will take you in to have a look."
I followed the master's wife into the wing opposite the study. Because the layout here is the same as Youran Residence, it made me feel like I had stepped back in time.
The house was cleaned spotlessly, and on the bedside table stood the same lamp as before. My eyes became a little moist.
"You have to stay overnight, otherwise, I'll be heartbroken."
I said, "Okay, I'll stay."
