In the evening, in Wang Yang's kennel.
There are "PLAYBOY" littered on the bed, which Lin Yue gave him a few years ago. Some of them have been worn out, and some have lost several pages. Even the sexy girl on the title page only has the part above her neck. After being kicked out of Yanda, Jenny would mail a few magazines from time to time. Not only pornographic magazines, but also DC comics and so on. In Lin Yue's words, it was all because Jenny liked Batman. In fact, Marvel is more in line with the Chinese people. taste.
Ever since Lin Yue went to Germany, Jenny stopped sending magazines, and Prince Wang also lost a lot of expectations.
As for LUCY, it was too much for her to even bring him back to China. Naturally, she couldn't send him pornographic magazines nostalgically. Sometimes Wang Yang would also suspect that the big American girl would not leave sooner or later, so she waited until Lin Yue left to break up with him. , could it be...that these two people are having an affair behind each other's back?
"Hey, what are you thinking about?"
"Ah, it's nothing." Wang Yang shook his head: "It's you, why did you fly for more than ten hours? Did you arrive so late?"
"The geography class was taught by the physical education teacher?" Lin Yue said, "There's a time difference."
Wang Yang banged his head and said, "Forgot, forgot."
"Last time we talked on the phone, you said you were co-organizing a cram school with Cheng Dongqing?"
"Isn't this your idea?"
"I didn't expect your progress to be so fast."
"It's all thanks to Nie Weiming. Now Cheng Dongqing, like us, is a man who will leave a mark on the school's history."
When Wang Yang talked about this matter, he looked gloating. In his opinion, what it means to be a buddy. Sharing blessings is not the key, but sharing sympathy is important. Just like in the setting of classmates who are in the same clothes and whore together, being together is nothing. If you go to a prostitute together, that's an ironclad friendship.
The previous black and white TV sets have been replaced by color TV sets. The CCTV station logo is a butterfly logo. The host is using an emotional voice to introduce the new progress made in economic cooperation between China and Germany. With the efforts of relevant personnel , the German company promised to deliver a batch of advanced CNC lathes and application technologies to Chinese partners within the next three years, and signed a talent training and exchange agreement. Superior leaders expressed their concern and affirmation of the efforts of relevant personnel.
Lin Yue glanced at his watch: "Where's Cheng Dongqing?"
Wang Yang said: "I went to pick up the students. There are a few newcomers who don't know the way."
Lin Yue asked again: "What about your classroom?"
"Have you seen the carpentry workshop diagonally opposite? I teach there when there is no business. If the boss is busy, we go to KFC. As an American grandpa, it has a good environment, good service, and good advertising effect. Order You can sit on two chicken nuggets for a day without worrying about being kicked out." Wang Yang led him to the balcony and threw down the only sock hanging on the balcony very unethically.
Regarding his behavior, Lin Yue looked confused.
"Oh, it's holly."
Into holly? Since they were Cheng Dongqing's socks, didn't he have the right to throw them away casually?
"Don't keep talking about me. Tell me about your life in Germany. It's so urgent. I called you yesterday to tell you to come back and get on the plane today. Did something happen to you?"
"No, how could I cause trouble for such a down-to-earth person?" Lin Yue smiled and changed the subject: "Didn't I get promoted? I asked for a leave from the leader and came back to see you. By the way, I visited Shanxi. My parents back home.”
Wang Yang always felt that things were not that simple, but there was nothing wrong with his words. After all, he had been away for three or four years and hadn't even come back for the Spring Festival. It was time to return home and get together, otherwise all the good buddies would be divided: "You You said you got promoted? What position did you get promoted to?"
Lin Yue said: "Third Secretary."
"Secretary? Only third class?" Wang Yang looked disdainful. If he didn't say the word "secretary", it would sound like he was low. He was still third class. This so-called promotion was too low.
Lin Yue said: "Do you know the grades of diplomats?"
Wang Yang turned around, leaning against the balcony with his back, pressing his elbows on the edge of the balcony, shaking his head at him, waiting for an answer.
"First of all, there will be some interns in the embassy and consulates, who will do some odd jobs, familiarize themselves with the incident handling process, and prepare for future work. After the interns become regular employees, they will become general staff, and their work scope will be wider, such as Photocopying and translating unimportant documents, running errands outside, which was the level I was at when I went there before.”
Wang Yang nodded to show understanding.
"Above the general staff, we can say they are cadres. Going up in rank, there are attachés, third secretaries, second secretaries, first secretaries, counselors and deputy consul generals, and then higher up..." Lin Yue did not say, The conversation changed: "If we have to make a reference to the domestic system, the third-class secretary... is equivalent to the full-time department level."
As for cadres, Wang Yang has never been a cadre, but he has relatives working in the district, and occasionally chats with friends. He knows that the mayors of local townships, the directors of county agricultural bureaus, and water conservancy bureaus are all official-level cadres.
"No, you're climbing so fast?"
"Is it fast?" Lin Yue said, "As long as graduates from Yan'an University and Tsinghua University can work in ministries and commissions and are more active in their work, it will be no problem to get promoted to a full-time major in three or four years."
"You also said that the premise is that you are a graduate of Yan University and Tsinghua University, but you are not, you are just a high school student." Wang Yang said in a skeptical tone: "Tell me, how did you do it?"
"Well..."
When Lin Yue was making casual remarks, the door opened from the outside, and Cheng Dongqing walked in wearing a denim jacket.
"I've been gone for three or four years. Yesterday I said I would arrive today when I came back. You didn't even give us time to prepare."
The rustic walked up to Lin Yue, put his arm around his shoulders and said, "How many days do you plan to stay in the country?"
"A week."
"That's pretty much it."
Cheng Dongqing breathed a sigh of relief. The people who came to him and Wang Yang for tutoring were basically students from major universities who were going to take the TOEFL exam. There was a tutoring session the day after tomorrow. Not to mention rejecting the tutoring class, it wouldn't even be possible to move it back a few days. But it doesn't matter if Lin Yue has a week off. After the exam, the three of them can get together and have fun.
"I have to go home in two days."
Lin Yue's answer interrupted his bright outlook for the coming week.
"You said you couldn't stay a few more days."
Lin Yue shrugged, flattened his lips, and looked like he was in a world where he couldn't help himself.
At this time, Wang Yang seemed to hear something, turned around and glanced across, interrupting the conversation between the two people: "Cheng Dongqing, Huang Ling is calling you down below."
"Oh, I came here just to say hello. I have to go teach them. You said this group of students don't know how to be active in college classes. They are either sleeping or reading extracurricular books. When they get to the cram school, they are like different people. I’m afraid that I won’t be able to concentrate and miss important knowledge points.”
“That’s because cram school costs a lot more than college tuition per class hour on average.”
"I think they are afraid of failing the TOEFL."
Lin Yue interrupted the discussion between the two people and looked at the carpentry workshop opposite: "Let's go, Teacher Cheng, and let me listen to your class."
"No..." Cheng Dongqing looked like you were bored.
"Let's go, let's go."
Lin Yue didn't give him a chance to object and pushed Cheng Dongqing out of the room.
…
Half an hour later, Lin Yue walked out of the carpentry workshop, looked at the starry sky, lit a cigarette and took two puffs. As early as when Wang Yang introduced the situation of the cram school, he felt that something was wrong. Because of Nie Weiming's report, Cheng Dongqing In early 1988, he lost his teaching position and co-founded a cram school with Wang Yang. Now more than half a year has passed. If the progress in the movie was followed, they should have occupied the abandoned factory building and recruited hundreds of students. But now, it is huge. There are two or three cats and kittens, which are completely out of place.
At first he didn't understand why this happened. After listening to Dongqing's class, he understood. This guy's lectures lacked passion, just like when he was in college. Business is about word-of-mouth effect. If you speak well, it will spread to hundreds of students. The number will expand rapidly. How can you stand out in a bunch of TOEFL cram schools if your lectures are boring and boring?
Opportunities are fleeting. If they can't seize the dividends of studying in the United States to expand the scale, once they miss the opportunity, it will be difficult for Cheng Dongqing and Wang Yang to make their new dream bigger and stronger.
Of course, with his help, these two people can make a fortune in anything they do, but the key to the problem is that he does not want these two people to feel that they rely on him to succeed. What is the story that the famous rich people like to tell the most? What? Or what is pride in life?
That’s right, start from scratch, work hard, and build a business.
It is said that a man's most charming and valuable asset is self-confidence. He didn't want Cheng Dongqing and Wang Yang to have the self-confidence they had from him.
But...how to do it?
When he was about to finish smoking, he thought of a way.
