When it comes to the people Meng Xiaojun cares about in China, his parents come second, and Liang Qin and Lin Yue are the focus, because these two people made him realize for the first time the fact that he was not the favored one.
Cheng Dongqing also knew this very well.
He was born in 1962 and is now 32 years old. Coupled with the life experience he has accumulated in the past few years as a principal, a country man like him can also detect the pain that flashed deep in Meng Xiaojun's eyes when he heard the two words "Lin Yue" .
He was familiar with this, because when Su Mei went to Germany, he looked at her back with the same expression.
"Why bring him up? He's not here."
Meng Xiaojun still wanted to hide it, but couldn't resist Wang Yang's teasing: "You really don't want to know what he is doing now? Since you don't want to know, then forget it, it's us who are nosy."
"Hey, you guys..."
"Okay, okay, I won't tease you anymore." Wang Yang said, "Not long after you went to the United States, he also went abroad."
"He also went abroad? Doesn't he want to stay in China and develop?"
Meng Xiaojun has never forgotten the lesson that made Liangqin change his mind. Now that Lin Yue has gone abroad, does this mean that he has gone back on his word? Slap yourself in the face?
Cheng Dongqing said: "When he goes abroad, he also develops at home."
Meng Xiaojun looked confused. He didn't understand what Cheng Dongqing meant by saying this. He had already gone abroad and was still developing in China? What a fuss!
Wang Yang raised his head and glanced at the red light across the road: "Because he is a diplomat now."
"diplomat?"
"Yes, diplomat, second secretary of the consulate in Germany."
Meng Xiaojun understood, yes, the diplomat's work place is abroad, but the change of functions is determined by the country, so even though he is abroad now, his career is indeed located in the country.
"Second Secretary..."
Unlike a bumpkin like Cheng Dongqing, Meng Xiaojun has lived in a foreign country for ten years and knows a lot about the personnel structure of the diplomatic system. A second secretary, usually at the deputy director level, can be hit by a brick like Yanjing. Naturally, a place where nine out of ten people are cadres cannot be on the stage, but if it is placed in a place, they are civil servants at the same level as the deputy county magistrate, court president, and prosecutor general of the procuratorate.
Meng Xiaojun's face was a bit ugly. He had no idea that Lin Yue would develop like this after being expelled from Yenching University. He had reached the deputy director level in ten years. This was probably the level of outstanding graduates from Yenching University and Tsinghua University.
He was about to say something when Wang Yang braked and said, "We're here."
Meng Xiaojun turned his face and looked out the window, only to see a deserted place in the distance. A plaque - Chengyang English School - stood on the ruins of the wall. Further ahead was a clean walkway. There was also a set of long water tanks in the yard. On the hanging clothesline are pieces of washed but not yet dried clothes.
Yes, the school looks dilapidated and old from the outside, but compared to the ruins of other factory buildings nearby that are overgrown with weeds, it can indeed be said to have been carefully taken care of.
"Why did you bring me here?"
Cheng Dongqing said: "Didn't you say that there is a rule at home that you must have a haircut before entering the house when you return from a long trip? There are scissors and other things in my room, and I want you to see the situation at school and give it to us A little opinion.”
Wang Yang opened the car door and walked out, looking at Meng Xiaojun sitting in the back car: "Let's go, Meng Haigui."
This word was invented by Lin Yue, and he learned and used it vividly.
Meng Xiaojun followed Cheng Dongqing out of the carriage and walked towards the so-called school in front.
First, he went to Cheng Dongqing's room to get a haircut, and then to the place where the students studied and lived. Meng Xiaojun remembered a word, a sparrow has all the internal organs even though it is small.
Wang Yang told him that there were nearly 2,000 people living on the entire campus, all of whom were college students who aspired to go abroad.
Meng Xiaojun couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
Audi cars, Big Brother, thousands of students...
Cheng Dongqing and Wang Yang already have wealth and careers, which seems to confirm what Lin Yue said in class - compared with foreign countries, there are more opportunities at home.
Meng Xiaojun was very unwilling, but what could he do? Wang Yang, Cheng Dongqing, and Lin Yue, the first two were principals of English schools, and Lin Yue was a deputy division-level diplomat. What about him? What became of him in the United States?
He was a teaching assistant at first, but was fired suddenly. The person who took his job was actually an alumnus of Yenching University. What did he say to the professor before leaving? A master's degree is actually required for a job feeding guinea pigs? This is the biggest waste of talent.
Over there, a teaching assistant at a university is fired at the drop of a hat, but what about in China? As long as you don't make a big mistake, no one can ask you to pack your bags and run away. At most, you will be sidelined, unable to get promoted, and your salary and benefits will definitely not be reduced.
Many people laugh at the fact that one of the things Chinese students like to do most when they go to the United States is wash dishes. When he was sitting on the plane with anger towards Lin Yue, he also despised those people. As he said when he was studying, he was Those who want to do big things are big shots who want to use money, fame, and status to trample Lin Yue under their feet twenty years later and make Liang Qin regret it. However, ten years later, he has been reduced to working as a waiter in a restaurant, and he still doesn't even have to pay tips. The foreman would occasionally give him a reward in cents, which seemed more like humiliation to him.
Therefore, when he saw the scene in front of him, his mentality was a bit broken.
What happened next was almost the same as in the movie. Meng Xiaojun stayed and was specifically responsible for visa mock interviews, because he was most familiar with the United States and knew the way of thinking of visa officers. This was the weakness of Cheng Dongqing and Wang Yang. With his joining , the reputation of "New Dream" can be taken to the next level.
Wang Yang is a happy-go-lucky person, and this can be proven by the fact that he did not bear any grudge against Meng Xiaojun for reporting Lin Yue, which indirectly led to his expulsion from school, but only beat up Meng Xiaojun.
What about the holly, what kind of country bumpkin is blown up by the wind? Still a country bumpkin.
His biggest flaw is that he has no vision, and this is exactly what Meng Xiaojun, who has been to the United States, has. From an international student with dreams and determination to be a master, to a waiter serving dishes in a small restaurant, he knows that the way to survive in the market economy is Competitiveness.
So in the days to come, all he thought about was how to make "New Dream" bigger and stronger, from an English training class passively established to cater to the times, to a company that mass-produces international students.
Five years later.
"New Dream" left the abandoned factory and moved into the newly completed teaching building. Cheng Dongqing was also known as the godfather of studying abroad and appeared on the front page of Yanjing Daily.
Meng Xiaojun shook the Yanjing Daily with Cheng Dongqing's face on it, looking out the window and feeling steady, "I have time in the world." When Wang Yang, who was sitting in the living room watching TV, suddenly said "ah", scaring everyone in the office. Two people almost fell off their chairs.
"Come and see, come and see."
"What's wrong?"
Cheng Dongqing and Meng Xiaojun walked out one after another.
The 29-inch rear-projection TV near the north wall is playing a piece of news. The general content is that the Shanxi Dachuan delegation went to Germany to visit the Daimler automobile production line, and signed a strategic cooperation agreement through the mediation of relevant personnel. The two parties are preparing to form a joint venture. Build a Mercedes-Benz automobile production base in Datong.
For Cheng Dongqing and others, it is not important how many billions of dollars Daimler has invested in the country, nor how many jobs it can create for the local area. What is important is the person sitting in the middle of the conference table where the agreement was signed. They know him, and Very familiar.
Lin Yue!
Ever since Meng Xiaojun returned to Beijing and joined Tubaocheng's English school, they had lost contact with Lin Yue. He didn't call the country either. When they called Germany, the people at the consulate either said he was on a business trip or that he had been transferred. , in short, there has been no news.
Wang Yang said that Lin Yue probably knew that Meng Xiaojun had returned to China and was angry, so he chose to break off diplomatic relations with them. Cheng Dongqing didn't think so. He felt that Lin Yue didn't want the two of them to be caught in the middle.
Anyway, no matter what the reasons and considerations were, seeing Lin Yue's face again was actually on TV, or on a top-notch column like Xinwen Lianbo. And judging from the news content, this cooperation has a far-reaching impact on the domestic automobile manufacturing industry. , in which he played a very important role.
