"Do you think the end of the world is true or false? The official didn't give an explanation," Xu Chu said worriedly while holding his phone.
The Mayans made 5 predictions, and the first 4 predictions were fulfilled. The last one is the end of the world on December 21st. Now it is less than a week away from that day until
mid-December.
This matter has caused a lot of uproar. Although many people hold an attitude of disbelief, it still caused a panic in society.
"I don't know, but I think it must be false. If it is true, then destroy it." Gu Ning said indifferently.
"Let me ask you a question. Talk about something more terrifying than the end of the world. Have you translated the article assigned by the teacher? It's so difficult. Why do I feel that the grammar and expression of many paragraphs and sentences are both OK and not OK?" Liang Xihe obviously felt that the untranslated article was much more important than the undetermined end of the world. Anyway, it can't change anything. At most, everyone in the world will disappear together, but she is a little reluctant to leave her parents.
"I couldn't translate any more after translating a paragraph. I'm confused like you. Why is it so difficult? Now that you mention it, I suddenly feel that the end of the world is not that important. The Demon King is more terrifying." Xu Chu took out the article and prepared to continue to fight against it. The Demon King is the code name they gave to Teacher Yu. He is extremely strict in class. If you miss 3 classes, you will be scored 0. If you miss more than 5 classes, you don't have to take the exam and you can just retake it.
"But the submission time is after the end of the world. If it really comes true, then we don't have to write it." Gu Ning couldn't help but say happily.
"Fantasy is beautiful, ideals are realistic. But I support you, Gu Gu." Liang Xihe gave Gu Ning a thumbs up.
Just as Liang Xihe was about to continue to plunge into the sea of suffering, a ring rang.
Picking up the phone, it was her father calling.
"Dad."
"Dongdong, what are you doing?"
"In the dormitory, I'm free."
"You saw the end of the world on the Internet."
Liang Xihe couldn't help but sigh that the spread and influence of this matter was really great, even her father who didn't usually go online knew about it.
"What do you think, Mr. Liang?"
Liang Xihe's father laughed twice. "What can you think? Eat more good meals and enjoy the last days of your life."
"I admire you." Liang Xihe often thought that her mental state was probably inherited from her father.
"But" a slightly hesitant voice came, "I see that the date mentioned on the Internet is the day before your birthday, which is not a coincidence."
Liang Xihe paused. She really didn't expect the birthday. "Dad, think about it from another angle. If the end of the world didn't happen, the next day would be my birthday, ushering in a new life. What a good meaning. If it happened, I will always be eighteen years old!" Liang Xihe comforted.
"I can't argue with you, no matter how right you are." Before Liang Xihe's father hung up the phone, he said, "Your mother still wants to continue making plain noodles for you for the 19th year." Liang Xihe's heart softened. She had never hoped so much that something would not happen. After all, she hadn't eaten plain noodles for a long time. She looked through her phone and swiped WeChat. There were not many people on WeChat. Most people are still used to using QQ now, and those who have WeChat accounts don't chat often. Seeing Jiang Yubai's avatar frame, I thought he was special. His WeChat name was Jiang Jiang Jiang Jiang, as strange as he was. The avatar was a white dog, a little blurry, as if it was a snapshot. He also has a dog? Thinking about it, I clicked on his Moments. There was only one content. It looked like the hottest time in Beijing in August this year. The person in the photo was wearing a ski board, a black ski suit and goggles, and flew in the air like an eagle, drawing a perfect arc, which was very free and wild. Damn capitalists! Jiang Yubai, who didn't know he had been labeled as a hateful capitalist, was sitting in the conference room discussing cooperation.
"I wonder what you are willing to do now?" The young people sitting in front of Jiang Yubai looked at each other and were speechless.
The company that Donghe was interviewing was unknown. In short, it was founded by a few college graduates with passion and has been running for a few years. It has a small number of people and a small scale, but it has good vision and technology, but lacks a mentor.
This year, the market is still difficult to get rid of the impact of the economic downturn cycle, and the overall market will still maintain a weak and volatile pattern. Small companies like this are in a difficult situation. The final outcome is bankruptcy to avoid greater losses. The luckier ones will be acquired by large companies, which is not a bad ending.
Generally, this kind of cooperation does not require Jiang Yubai to meet in person, and it can be handed over to the marketing department for evaluation, but today...
"Don't think too much, although Donghe has no intention of acquiring you, we are willing to inject capital into you and provide you with corresponding resources and projects." Jiang Yubai spoke slowly.
A young man wearing black-framed glasses couldn't help but speak up, "Mr. Jiang, can we ask why? According to the situation, your company's willingness to acquire us is already a very good result, and we don't think we are qualified to be chosen by Donghe." He was right. After all, when their company was developing at its best, they didn't think of cooperating with Donghe. The reason was very simple. At that time, Donghe chose Hui'an Technology, the leader in the industry.
Jiang Yubai pushed the brewed West Lake Longjing in front of several young people, thought for a while and chuckled to ease the awkward atmosphere before continuing to speak, "What do you think is the situation?"
The whole audience was silent.
Seeing that no one spoke, he continued, "Twenty-seven years ago, we first proposed to revitalize the country through science and education. Since then, a new wave of scientific and technological progress has emerged in this land, which is undoubtedly a good situation. Science and technology are the primary productive forces, and nothing can deny that no matter how turbulent the tide of history is, it cannot eliminate the truth. I believe that you have chosen to start from scratch and have your current career under this great situation. Now you are willing to hand over everything to us, or are you at ease? The reason why I personally met with you is that I value your energy, your purity and love for scientific and technological work, and your refusal to bow down for a bowl of rice. But your excellent quality caused you to lack funds and suffer losses at one time, The quality without sufficient capital support has crushed you and forced you to seek acquisition to deny and solve your own problems. "Jiang Yubai took a sip of tea and continued, "Now Donghe is willing to become your capital, it depends on whether you have the courage to accept it." "Yes!" Several people changed their state a few minutes ago, with a happy and urgent look on their faces, fearing that Jiang Yubai would regret it. "Thank you, Mr. Jiang, we understand. At the beginning of the company, several of us held a computer and squeezed into a room of more than ten square meters. What supported us was not only the sincerity of young people but also the call of society. We just wanted to do more. By the way, that computer was bought by several of us." After saying that, several people couldn't help laughing. Jiang Yubai didn't hear the embarrassment and embarrassment in their smiles, but heard dreams and hopes. "Okay, then I wish us a happy cooperation. Someone will be in charge of the contract. If you have any needs, please feel free to ask within a reasonable range!" "Thank you, Mr. Jiang." "What are you thanking me for? This is your own achievement. Let me remind you that I am not a very tolerant and easy-to-fool Party A. If you violate the contract, Donghe will terminate it immediately and reasonably recover the liquidated damages. As Party A, the first requirement is to correct your attitude. In this business, no one has ever chosen anyone, it is a joint choice. The phrase "not qualified" will only boost others' prestige, so there is no need to say it again in the future." Jiang Yubai returned to his usual casual state. "We take Party A's first request seriously, please rest assured." After letting Zhao Chuan send them away, Jiang Yubai returned to the office and stood in front of the French window. The gray fog outside revealed the current market, and the tiny glow in the distance was what Jiang Yubai pursued. Society cannot lack young entrepreneurs. Donghe has been established by himself since college, and has come to its current position step by step. Enjoying the convenience of society, it must assume corresponding social responsibilities. When Donghe was first established, he did not rely on the Jiang family, and did not use a penny of their money. But to reach today's scale, how much of the invisible resources and care of the Jiang family can be measured by money. There is no such deal in the world.
Although he never asked for these cares, this has become a subtle root and an established fact. He cannot refuse or change, nor can he choose to pretend to be noble. The only thing he can do is to let the light of this tree protect more people.
The leaves of the Clivia in front of the window are more yellow, and the lifelessness forces him to recall the conversation with Minister Jiang when he returned to the Yiheyuanzhu a few days ago.
Minister Jiang said while peeling shrimp for Ms. Li: "His second brother Jiang Yan and the one from the He family are working in Shanghai. From the outside, they seem to have a good relationship. Although they sometimes disagree on political views, they have never quarreled. In the end, they can inexplicably reach unity, and the higher-ups are very satisfied with this." At this point, Jiang Yubai sneered. It was just an illusion. The two have never gotten along. He knew Jiang Yan's character and liked to play tricks openly. The eldest brother of the He family is not much worse. The two are now in the same position and live in peace. What a joke. It's just that the bureau has done a good job. When they meet, they shake hands, laugh and flatter each other, saying Director Jiang and Director He. In private, each of them is more cunning than the other. But this also achieves a certain balance point. On the one hand, the leaders are satisfied, and there is a good explanation when the superiors inspect and inquire. On the other hand, the people are satisfied, and there is no gossip. A good reputation will help with future promotions. Driven by interests, why not do it?
Jiang Yubai responded, "Minister Jiang, you don't need to use official language with me."
Jiang Jizhi smiled and said, "I understand. I'm used to it." He took another sip of soup and said, "Since Hui'an rejected Donghe, in just one month, nearly half of Hui'an's senior executives changed jobs, market shares fell, funds were lost, and losses continued. The project that was originally 100% in hand was also snatched away by competitors on the day of settlement. Everyone guessed that Hui'an either offended someone it shouldn't have offended, or there was really a problem with its internal management, and everything went wrong."
The instigator of this matter was sitting at the table and tasting the soup calmly.
"I know about Hui'an's matter. You acted too ostentatiously. Hui'an changed its mind at that time because it followed Ling Rong's wishes. I don't need to say anything about Ling Rong's behind. If you want to vent your anger, I won't stop you, but support you. But let's not be too ostentatious. Now you are doing this openly and provoking Ling Rong, it is inevitable that someone will say it. It will affect the interests of the He family and the Jiang family." Jiang Jizhi put down the spoon and looked at Jiang Yubai. At this stage, he didn't want his son to make too many enemies.
"So you've gone through so much trouble just to make me learn from my second brother."
"I'm glad you understand."
"But, Minister Jiang. I don't have that kind of temper or that level." Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by his mother. Li Zhao actually didn't agree with Jiang Jizhi's statement. She knew her son's temper. It would be better to let Beijing snow in August than to let him endure it.
But Jiang Jizhi's concerns were correct. The He family didn't make any moves, and she couldn't let her son suffer.
"Man'er, I didn't say you were wrong. When your mother and I were doing business, we went into the sea alone. At that time, if anyone was unhappy with me, I would be more excessive than you. Your father meant that the timing was not right. After all, when He Er returned to China not long ago and officially established his prestige, we should just pretend not to see him." Ms. Li's voice was as gentle as ever, so no one would have thought that this was a famous real estate tycoon.
Minister Jiang looked at Ms. Li, who was playing the villain, and silently took back the peeled shrimp.
The memories ended. Did he cross the line? No.
Since Hui'an accepted Ling Rong's favor at that time, he should have thought of the consequences today. As for Ling Rong and He Er, it was not a provocation, but a warning.
Isn't it beautiful to have give and take.
The screen of his mobile phone lit up, and he picked it up from the table. It was a WeChat message from Liang Xihe. He had been too busy these weeks and really didn't pay much attention to her.
Is Xi not Xi: How is your English, are you doing well?
Jiang Yubai didn't reply immediately, but waited half an hour before replying: I think it's good, but aren't you studying English? Are you asking me, an outsider?
Is Xi not Xi: I'm really stupid. Followed by Xiao Xiong sighingjpg.
Jiang Jiang Jiang Jiang: I studied in the United States, and my English is very good. Hooking jpg.
Is Xi not Xi: Can you help me read an article? I've been reading it for a long time, but I still don't know how to use some grammar and expressions. If you help me, I will pray that you can survive the end of the world smoothly. Starry eyesjpg.
Jiang Jiang Jiang Jiang: Still thinking about the end of the world.
No one around Jiang Yubai cares, at most only Wang Xu thinks it's fun. Sure enough, people still can't know too many secrets, even the most basic curiosity is gone.
Is Xi Bu Xi: I don't think about it much. I still think the homework is more important.
Jiang Yubai suddenly thought of the predicted date of the end of the world and asked:
When is the homework due?
Is Xi Bu Xi: The 25th.
Jiang Jiang Jiang Jiang: I'll show you, come to me on the 21st, and I'll give you the address then.
Liang Xihe suddenly felt a little regretful. She sent a message to Jiang Yubai just to try her luck, but she didn't expect it to work. It's not impossible to find him, but I'm afraid of what to do if he plays tricks on her.
After all, they have only met twice.
But you have to pay for what you want.
Is Xi Bu Xi: Okay, but why choose the day of the end of the world, you are afraid. Snicker jpg.
Jiang Jiang Jiang Jiang: Who cares, I'm happy to do it.
The conversation ended here. After Liang Xihe did half an hour of reading comprehension, she still felt that this person was sick.
Sure enough, she didn't understand the world of rich people.
