C753 Li Shun's Counterattack on Bai Lao San
Watching the train disappear from my sight, I slowly left the platform.
Lee Shun told me to rescue Zhang Xiaotian and get Ningzhou, but I didn't do it.
Zhang Xiaotian left the Hsinghai and disappeared from my sight.
I don't know if he will forever disappear from my sight, I don't know if he will truly turn back into a human, and I don't know if he will still appear in the Hsinghai again in the future.
Returning to Fourth Brother's car, I received a call from Lee Shun.
"What's going on?" Lee Shun said.
"The car broke down. It was too late, Zhang Xiaotian was executed by Bai Laosan." I said quietly.
Lee Shun sounded like he was in a daze. After a long silence, he sighed and hung up the phone.
The next morning, I sat in my office and flipped through the day's papers, thinking about the events of the past few days.
This time, Lee Shun's counterattack on Bai Laosan severely beat Bai Laosan with a series of attacks. Coupled with Bai Laosan's self-mutilation from his wrong judgement, it caused his financial and manpower resources to be severely damaged.
After hitting Bai Laosan in three consecutive blows, Lee Shun seemed to have stopped temporarily, but it also seemed to be waiting for Bai Laosan's reaction.
At this moment, Bai Laosan seemed to be temporarily in a silent state. At the same time, he seemed to be accumulating his strength, waiting for the right moment to launch an even stronger attack on Lee Shun.
On the surface, it seemed that both sides had calmed down for the time being, and no major movements could be seen.
I knew that under the calm surface, both sides didn't actually relax their vigilance. Both of them were carefully observing each other, waiting for the best opportunity to launch a new round of fierce attacks. The battle will not stop until either side is completely defeated.
What kind of state is this? I don't know. Can it be that we have to face a life-and-death situation before we can stop?
The battle of the underworld depended on one's economic strength as well as one's background. It depended on the person who was more ruthless, on the person who had the more ruthless methods, and on the person who had the more scheming.
If the underworld was like this, then how great was the difference between the slaughter on the white path?
At this moment, I saw that today's daily newspaper, the third page of which published a short chapter on the recruitment of municipal units and institutions, published by the Municipal Personnel Bureau.
It seemed that what Qiu Tong said a few days ago was true. The municipal straight institutions were indeed about to start recruiting.
I took a closer look.
This time, the direct system and institutions in the city were recruiting. The scale was relatively large, and involved the various systems such as public health, education, publicity and so on. The publicity system included the Couplet Organization's publishing house, radio and television, and of course, Hsinghai.
The quota was very specific, and the job requirements were also very detailed. The Hsinghai s were allocated to three people, one each for recruitment, administration, and management. The registration will begin immediately and within three days, the exam will begin in half a month and will be divided into written exams and interviews, each accounting for 50% of the examinees' work.
Looking at the conditions of the entrance exams and the admission examination, I didn't have much of a feeling in my heart. It didn't seem to have much to do with me, but I had a feeling that it was somehow related.
I know that once I participate in this matter, it will mean that I will truly get involved with the government, truly begin to walk into the government.
Regarding the government, I had always maintained an indifferent attitude. Everything I saw and heard made me feel that the government was an unfathomable whirlpool. Once I entered, it would be like a quagmire, and the depth of this quagmire was no less than the underworld I was dragged into by Lee Shun.
I was stuck in a quagmire in the underworld, and I didn't want to go into another quagmire.
Of course, I have my own self-confidence that if I really take this exam, my chances of success are very high. I believe that I have the strength and ability to do so.
But I really don't have much interest in this matter. It's good to make money doing marketing in the workplace. It's full and has a sense of accomplishment.
Qiu Tong pushed the door open and walked in.
"What are you looking at?" Qiu Tong sat on the sofa opposite me and looked at me.
"Look at this interesting chapter." I waved the newspaper in my hand.
Qiu Tong looked at me and pursed her lips into a smile. "Are you interested?"
I shook my head. "I'm interested, but not interested."
Qiu Tong looked at me with a smile that wasn't a smile. "Even if you are interested, you aren't qualified."
"Oh."
"Can't you see the registration requirement? You must be a full-time major or above to be able to sign up. Didn't you graduate from high school? " Qiu Tong said, "Just this one is enough to strangle you to death."
I laughed silently.
"What are you laughing at?" Qiu Tong looked at me intently.
"Nothing."
"I think you're smiling very discreetly."
"Concealment? Why do I have to be tactful? "
"You know that." Qiu Tong stared into my eyes.
I didn't dare meet Qiu Tong's gaze and covered my smile. "Even if I have a university degree, I'm not interested in registering."
Qiu Tong was silent for a moment before she said, "Age and education are a prerequisite for a person to change their identity. Age was a treasure, and one's education level couldn't be low. As for status, it was the key to entering the system. If one's identity couldn't be changed, it would all be in vain. This is the bureaucratic system with Chinese characteristics. "
"I don't have the potential to work in the government, so I'm suitable for the workplace as a marketing company for business management."
"You will only know what a person is fit for. If you don't do it, you will never know what you are suitable for."
"This is just the government. Just listening to it makes me feel a headache, much less doing it. I don't want to try it."
Qiu Tong laughed, "Actually, based on my understanding of you, based on your actual abilities and qualities, no matter which industry you work in, as long as you want to do it, you will be able to achieve something. "Those who are capable, they can do anything they want. Those who aren't are useless no matter where they go."
I said, "Well, I'm going to try to do my job. trying to be a good manager. "
"After reading this recruitment summary, are you a little interested?"
"There is, but it's very small. Compared to what I'm doing right now, this is insignificant."
Qiu Tong said, "It can't be that you can't eat grapes and call them sour grapes, right?"
"What do you think?"
Qiu Tong said, "I said no!"
"Then why do you still say that?"
"I want to goad you."
"Is it necessary?"
Qiu Tong laughed. "Whether it's necessary or not, I want to test you."
"Test me? Why are you testing me? " "No," I said.
"Because sometimes I think I can see through you, but more often I find that I can't see through you at all. To me, you have too many secrets. " Qiu Tong said.
I looked at Qiu Tong and slowly said, "Qiu Tong, maybe what you said makes sense. Maybe, in your eyes, I do have a lot of mysteries. Maybe, all of these mysteries will slowly be solved in front of you."2
"Perhaps, there are some mysteries that I can feel without you understanding them yourself!" Qiu Tong said.
My heart skipped a beat and I smiled. "You're very smart."
"In front of you, I do not dare to say that I am smart. On the surface, it would appear that you are very stupid. However, in reality, I clearly feel that you are much smarter than me." Qiu Tong said.
"Are you curious about me?" "No," I said.
"Not just curiosity. More confusion." Qiu Tong said.
I lit a cigarette, took two slow puffs, and said, "Qiu Tong, maybe one day, your curiosity and confusion will disappear. Actually, I am not really a complicated person. "
"My curiosity and confusion about you has nothing to do with your simplicity or complexity." Qiu Tong said, "Will the day you speak of be far away?"
"Maybe, very soon, very far away, or there won't be such a day!" As I said this, I felt a pang of bitterness in my heart.
"I don't understand you!" Qiu Tong said.
"You understand, you will understand, you must understand. Qiu Tong, don't force me. There are some things, many things that I should let you know. But don't press me, will you? " I struggled to speak.
Qiu Tong looked at me silently for a while before nodding her head. "Ok, I agree."
I stood up and went to the window, looked at the bleak winter sky, and smoked in silence.
"Yi Ke —" Qiu Tong whispered from behind me.
"Yes."
"Up until now, I still don't know what kind of person you are. In some ways, I know nothing about you, but I have a feeling that you are someone with a lot of stories. You are a person with a rough and complicated psychological history. You are a very bitter, very tired and very sad person. " Qiu Tong said.
I stood silently with my back to Qiu Tong and continued smoking.
"Actually, everyone has their own story. It's just that this story is simple and complicated. It's sour, sweet, bitter, spicy."
Qiu Tong continued, "Actually, no matter what kind of person, no matter under what circumstances or conditions, as long as we can keep a quiet place, we will be able to get a peace. Life is full of ups and downs. If you can guard the peace of your heart and enjoy a lonely serenity when you sink in, then when you rise up, you will be able to experience the true meaning of life.
In order to maintain a clear mind, one must let one's mind be pure, unbound by fame and fortune, undisturbed by gains and losses, bravely advance in the face of setbacks, unmoved in the face of temptation, unconnected and at ease in any situation. "
My heart skipped a beat, and I continued to stand there, thinking about what Qiu Tong had said.
After a long time, there was no sound from Qiu Tong. I turned around and saw that Qiu Tong had already left.
I sat back down at my desk, exhaled, and thought about what Qiu Tong had just said to me.
I had a distinct feeling that Qiu Tong had already suspected my true identity. This caused me to feel a little fearful and a little worried.
I clearly felt that if she wanted to find out about my background, it wouldn't be difficult for her to do so in the current situation. She could have asked Haifeng, Hai Zhu, or Dong Xue, but she didn't seem to do that. She never goes around asking about the situation of others, she seems to be very respectful to me, waiting for me to tell her the truth, she seems to be very patient.
She clearly felt that even though Qiu Tong appeared very weak on the outside, very weak on the outside, very weak on the surface. She seemed very weak on the outside, very strong on the surface, but her heart was actually very firm and firm on the inside. She was actually a very assertive person with her own thoughts.
At present, it seems that she only suspects me as my identity, but she doesn't seem to have much suspicion towards Yi Ke in reality and Guest in the virtual world. Perhaps she thinks that this is something inconceivable, or perhaps she can't imagine that Yi Ke and Guest are the same person, even though she often replaces the feelings she has towards Guest in reality with Yi Ke in reality.
I analyzed it with a sense of self-righteousness and a sense of confusion.
