Chapter 583: Sincerity is a Weapon
"Wang Yan, how did our Jianguo offend you? We lived in the same courtyard for so many years, and you grew up together. You've already beaten him, so what grudge or resentment is there that you can't let go, and you have to find someone to report him and have our Jianguo arrested? He was sentenced to four years. Now Jianguo's wife has divorced him, and the child is so small. What will happen in the future? Our whole family has been torn apart by you. How cruel your heart is. If Jianguo has done anything to let you down, I, as his mother, will apologize to you. Don't care about Jianguo, can you help him?"
After dinner, when Wang Yan carried the Brother Brother Lao Su family's dirty water bucket out to dump the trash, he ran into Cheng Mother, who was full of anger, and she said this to him.
It is now early November, a month and a half after Cheng Jianguo was arrested, during which three major events occurred.
The first is that Wang Bin successfully changed from a little kid in preschool to a first-grade student. The second is that Ma Du's wedding was a complete success. The big courtyard children he knew, the friends in the cultural circle he had made over the years, and the people he knew while walking outside, the scene was very lively and very prestigious. Not to mention that Wang Yan also went and gave Ma Du face by following him to toast others, which undoubtedly made Ma Du's prestige even higher.
As for this third event, it is that after this period of procedure, just as Cheng Mother said, four years.
Cheng Jianguo's wife, who had endured for so many years, only had one year of good days. Now that Cheng Jianguo is in, and it's four years, and there is no future to be seen, she made a scene for a few days and directly divorced, taking the child back to her mother's house. This wife still has a backbone. After all, she is thirty and has a child. It will be very difficult to get married again in the future, or rather, she didn't want to remarry at all. In this era, there are still few who are truly cruel enough to abandon their children.
Fortunately, it is a grandson, so the Cheng family naturally tried to persuade her to stay, but it wasn't very strong. Otherwise, in terms of the child, the right to speak always belongs to the husband's family, and it is not so easy to take away. It is just because Cheng Jianguo's matter is too shameful, and the child has not been liked by children of the same age in the courtyard since he was little. Of course, it is mainly because he is not liked by Wang Bin. Over time, the child's personality is a bit withdrawn.
This is really not taught by Wang Yan. How could he do such a thing? In the final analysis, it is the problem of the Cheng family. You can't teach a good child in that family.
When they were only two, three, or four years old, the children in the courtyard occasionally played together. But because of Cheng Jianguo, Cheng Jianguo's wife was also not liked, so naturally, she didn't want her child to play with other children, so there were not many opportunities to be together.
By the time they were four or five, the children began to remember things and had their own little ideas, so they couldn't play with children deeply influenced by the family. Wang Bin and Han Yi even teamed up to beat the Cheng family kid several times...
Wang Yan naturally educated them, but he didn't let the children force themselves to live in harmony with others. If they couldn't play together, they wouldn't play.
Speaking of which, this is also the sin created by Wang Yan. A woman who shouldn't have had such a fate, a child who shouldn't have been born in such a family, are all victims. Wang Yan knows everything, but what about it? He changed the pairing of several people before, so there must be a woman who marries Cheng Jianguo, and she will also have children. If it's not this one, it's that one. So secretly apologizing is enough. If you want him to have any guilt, that is absolutely impossible. Love whatever.
On the other hand, the Old Cheng family has another son, who can get married and have children in the future, so Cheng Father and Cheng Mother didn't try very hard to keep the grandson at home. After all, the blood relationship is there, and even if the child follows the mother, it won't affect much. And they are old, so they don't have much energy.
And now Cheng Mother stopped Wang Yan to question him. Eight out of ten, it is because when she went to see Cheng Jianguo, she heard him say something, so she came to find trouble with him.
Just like what Han Chunming said, it is too coincidental, and it is easy to suspect Wang Yan. Cheng Jianguo is not stupid. He thinks about these things all day inside, so he thinks and thinks, and it is just Wang Yan. In fact, Cheng Jianguo is not sure. After all, he has indeed done those things, and people are real-named, so he should be arrested. But he doesn't understand, and he is not the only one, so why was he arrested, and he doesn't believe he is so unlucky. So no matter if it is Wang Yan or not, it must be Wang Yan, so that he can feel better and have a target of hatred to make him strong.
But in fact, Wang Yan didn't target him so maliciously, just a simple real-name report. And it wasn't just Cheng Jianguo who was arrested, but Cheng Jianguo couldn't reach the information outside, and Cheng Father and Cheng Mother didn't have the heart to pay attention to that much, so they didn't know.
Cheng Mother didn't go crazy and still had reason. Otherwise, she wouldn't be talking to Wang Yan alone now, but would have blocked his door early to make a scene, and would have called neighbors to judge for their family.
Wang Yan shook his head: "Auntie, you really misunderstood me. I don't know what Cheng Jianguo told you, but this matter is really not done by me. I did beat Cheng Jianguo before, but that was because his mouth was broken and he said what he shouldn't have said. I slapped him and kicked him, which was light. As for his arrest, it is also deserved. You know this best.
Let's reason. Not to mention it wasn't me, even if it was me who asked someone to report Cheng Jianguo for his damage to the public and benefit to himself, what is the problem? Shouldn't he be in prison? I am just a person who works hard and does research, and I don't have the ability to get Cheng Jianguo out. Even if I had that ability, it could only be that both of us go in and squat. I heard that your family is raising money to pay his fine. You also know that our family has high expenses and has never saved any money. I don't have much, but here is fifty yuan. Take it, it counts as my little heart."
While speaking, he took out five ten-yuan bills from his pocket and put them into Cheng Mother's hand, who was already a bit confused.
He was sincere, didn't quarrel because of being "unjustly accused," but spoke calmly, stated facts and reasoned, and finally gave fifty yuan to help them. What a good person.
Although Cheng Mother is also quite average, she also knows that Cheng Jianguo is accustomed to exaggerating facts and running wild with his mouth. At this moment, looking at the fifty yuan in her hand and then at Wang Yan who was about to leave with the bucket, she said embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, Wang Yan. I was anxious because of Jianguo's matter, so I spoke nonsense. He is over thirty and doesn't let us worry. He doesn't work properly and only engages in crooked ways. Now it is deserved. Don't care about me."
"The heart of parents in the world is pitiful. I can understand. He actually wanted to let you live a good life, but he took the wrong path. It's a pity... Four years is not long, just hold on and it will pass. Tell Jianguo to repent actively and reform well." Wang Yan waved his hand and turned to leave.
Cheng Mother clutched the fifty yuan in her hand, watched Wang Yan's figure disappear into the moon gate, sighed with a feeling of life being loveless, vented the energy she had prepared to make a scene with Wang Yan, turned around, and walked heavily back to the lifeless home...
In November, the days are short and the nights are long. At this time, the sky has already darkened. Because the northwest wind has begun to rage, the cold has spread, and no one in the alley is chatting anymore. Under the street lamp emitting dim yellow light on the utility pole, there is no chess game that is hard to distinguish, and people are all huddled at home. Only the smoke from the coal stove floating in the air, and the dust and withered leaves rolled up by the wind.
When Wang Yan returned with the bucket, Su Meng had already returned home, sitting at the table reading in the warm room.
Although Wang Bin has already entered the first grade, there is not much homework after class at this time. They don't go home after school, but first go crazy with classmates for a while, and only run back when they are really hungry and it's dark. With three people's teachers in the Brother Brother Lao Su family, the homework is finished in a while.
Speaking of this, it has to be said that compared to later education, it seems that the children now are not very unsuccessful. After all, forty years later, people from all walks of life are the ones who speak at Wang Bin's age. Not to mention anything else, scientific research and exploration have always been progressing, and the education they received is roughly the same as Wang Bin's.
Wang Yan didn't give the child extra lessons. He raised the child, only practicing martial arts to strengthen his body, having a good body, reading and understanding principles, and having a certain spiritual strength. And long-term persistence in practicing martial arts and reading has cultivated his perseverance and critical thinking ability, so this child will basically not grow crooked. The rest is basically ignored. Whether he studies well or badly, whether he has ambition or not, love whatever. With him as a father, he will never be poor, which is enough. So Wang Bin plays happily every day.
But the children in the future, the books are getting thicker and thicker, and the learning is getting more and more tiring. The teacher-student relationship is also far from as harmonious as it is now, making it more and more tense...
Seeing Wang Yan fiddling with the tea set and making tea late at night, Su Meng closed the book and asked: "Just now after dinner, I saw Cheng Jianguo's mother stop you? What for?"
"It's not that I beat Cheng Jianguo before. Maybe it happened too coincidentally. Cheng Jianguo thought day and night inside that I asked someone to report him, and then told his mother, so his mother came to me to settle the account and ask for an explanation."
The redness and swelling on Cheng Jianguo's face naturally couldn't be hidden, and he always had to go out. Su Meng also saw it. She has some big problems with herself, but she is not brainless, so she naturally thought it was the slap Wang Yan gave. In fact, besides Wang Yan, there was no one else in this courtyard. Look at her precious son, although he looks thin, he is particularly strong, and from childhood to now, he has only had two or three colds. That was because he was naughty and was practiced too hard by his father, Wang Yan, and caught the cold. With such a son, one can imagine what kind of strength Wang Yan has.
She naturally doesn't need to think, after all, that is the powerful force she both loves and hates and has personally experienced...
However, Wang Yan didn't tell the truth. What has passed has passed, and there is no need to turn over the past and be embarrassed. He just said Cheng Jianguo came to him to talk nonsense and didn't let him help Han Chunming, etc., and just fooled it away.
Su Meng frowned, full of righteous indignation, very unhappy: "Their family has no good people, too unreasonable. If you ask me, the sentence was light. It's as if anyone wants to bother with him. Then what did you say? Cheng Jianguo's mother is not easy to deal with, why didn't she make a scene with you?"
"What else could I say? Naturally, I stated facts and reasoned... Their family is borrowing money everywhere to pay the fine, and I also gave them fifty yuan, which counts as spending money to buy peace. Then how could she be embarrassed to make a scene with me?"
One of Wang Yan's weapons for walking in the world is "sincerity." He is sincere to everyone, sincere in telling the truth, and equally sincere in telling lies. Or to put it another way, he is a powerful actor. If he went to make movies or TV shows, with such superb acting skills and understanding of various identities, he could easily become a generation of screen superstars. Life is like a play, and a play is like life. It is nothing more than this.
"Also, more trouble is worse than less trouble. Giving a little is giving a little. You say that although Cheng Jianguo is corrupt and breaks the law, he really dares to think and do..."
Su Meng sighed at the power of the spring breeze blowing all over the land...
Winter follows the change of the night watch, and spring returns with the handle of the Dipper. The spring breeze of reform continues to blow across the land of China, and the pace of opening up continues to stride forward. Time has come to 1984.
This year, the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China was established, the Patent Law was passed, the Laoshan Battle began, Xu Haifeng won the first Olympic gold medal, the women's volleyball team won three consecutive championships... It also approved the establishment of the first private enterprise, or it is better to call it a private enterprise.
Wang Yan has already started acting, but unlike his previous obscurity, this time, he is the youngest academician of the Academy of Sciences. He single-handedly promoted the rapid development of China's computers, leveled the gap between China and the foreign devils, and surpassed them, thereby driving the progress of other various research. Naturally, he holds a certain degree of right to speak, and his thoughts and opinions are respected.
So he didn't need to develop secretly like before, but directly put forward his idea of wanting to engage in balanced ternary. Of course, it was approved because of his status and status, and his major is this. But it was only agreed that he would set up a small group for small-scale research, and not much resources were invested.
This is enough. He just wanted an approval to bring over the people he had already identified to carry out initial research work.
Now their computers, civilian use has already kept up. Chinese display, font library, etc., have all been done long ago, but the Chinese people can't afford them. Except for being equipped in batches to various research institutes and state-owned enterprises, they are mainly sold abroad for money.
This is not afraid that others can't afford it. After all, their costs are high, but compared to the foreign devils' products, it is still very cheap. The company responsible for related business, led by Wang Mouren himself, is quite reliable. The performance is not bad, the price is cheap, and after-sales protection will be opened in major foreign cities. Currently, it is in a state of losing money because it is establishing a brand and making a name for itself.
With the full promotion of large state-owned enterprises, although this is a difficult task, it is actually not very difficult. In the final analysis, it is the product that speaks. As long as their computer quality is hard, has good after-sales service, and cooperates with lower prices than other brands, the future can be foreseen to be better and better, and there will always be a day of best-selling. This time there is no technical restraint. With the computer industry chain that Wang Yan spent eight years building, it is very stable, and no one is good.
The flowers in the human world are exhausted in April, and the peach blossoms in the mountain temple begin to bloom. This is a famous poem by the great Tang Dynasty poet Bai Juyi, known as the Poet Demon.
Although Wang Yan didn't go to the temple to see peach blossoms, on a Sunday, after the rain stopped all night, he pulled off the rainproof oilcloth covering the sidecar, took Su Meng, and set off. On the road, he saw willow trees sprouting, green grass breaking through the soil, felt the refreshing and pleasant spring breeze brought by the motorcycle, and felt the fresh air after the rain.
"Mysterious, where are we going?"
Su Meng, who is already thirty, has a ponytail, wears a denim suit, and steps on white shoes. She looks clean and capable, and can't see that she has reached the age of a wolf and a tiger, and has a bit of youthful atmosphere.
"Not far, you'll know when we get there."
Su Meng rolled her eyes at Wang Yan, sat lazily in the bucket, and enjoyed the warm wind.
Wang Yan said it wasn't far, so it was naturally not far. Riding the motorcycle out of the alley, turning onto Chang'an Street, heading west all the way, towards the Forbidden City. After a while, he arrived at Nanchi Street, turned in directly, and went all the way to Beichi Street, before stopping in front of a house with a locked vermilion gate.
"What do you mean? What are we doing here?" Su Meng still didn't quite understand, but when she saw Wang Yan smiling and taking a key out of his pocket to unlock the lock, she suddenly reacted.
She widened her eyes: "Prince, you didn't buy this house, did you?"
When asking, she also turned to look at the flying eaves exposed in the corner of the western sky in the distance, that is the Forbidden City...
