Chapter 416: Runtu Puts Down the Steel Fork (Subscribe for the Monthly Ticket)
After Zhang Yunqi hung up the phone, he suddenly remembered that he had forgotten to tell Wang Daozhong something. The question he asked was a multiple-choice question.

Of course, he had no intention of telling Wang Daozhong again.

Wang Daozhong shouldn’t blame him, right?
Wang Daozhong is a real man who can bend and stretch himself, so he shouldn't be too bothered by these small details.

While he was thinking about this, his phone rang again.

Yu Qingqing called.

The girl was crying on the phone and told him some information about Wang Xiaokai and their breakup. She said Kaizi was going to be fired and she was under a lot of pressure.

Zhang Yunqi only said one sentence: "He's fine, don't worry, he will live well."

Zhang Yunqi hung up the phone.

He rubbed his temples and said to Xiao Wu, who was driving, "After you drop me off at Songlin Building, go to the No. 1 Municipal Hospital to look for my classmate Tian Zhuangzhuang and tell him that it was me who told them not to go back to the dormitory to sleep tonight. Get them a few rooms outside."

Xiao Wu nodded and said yes.

After a while, he said, "Boss, you look a little tired."

Zhang Yunqi was looking at the night scene on Jiangchuan Street outside the window.

When Xiao Wu said this, Zhang Yunqi laughed: "I'm fine, I just have a lot of things to do. How are you doing recently? Is there a girl you like?"

Xiao Wu said: "It's pretty good. I work with the boss, get a high salary, have food and drink, and don't have too much work to do. I'm already very satisfied. As for girls, for a guy like me, there's no point in talking about whether I like them or not."

Zhang Yunqi turned his head and looked at Xiao Wu.

He had a lot to say, but he said nothing.

＊＊＊＊＊＊
The person Zhang Yunqi made an appointment with was Kang Cheng, the head of the Discipline Inspection Commission.

Zhang Yunqi arrived at Songlin Tower right after Kang Cheng arrived.

The two men had a meal together and after three rounds of drinks, Zhang Yun had a lot to say. He didn't beat around the bush and went straight to the point. He packed up all of Wang Mingzhen's large boxes of backup materials and sent them to Kang Cheng, and told him a general idea of ​​the situation.

Zhang Yunqi actually didn't quite believe that Kang Cheng hadn't read the original manuscripts of Wang Mingzhen's materials. Even if he hadn't read all of them, he should have read some of them.

However, the reality is that the effects and functions submitted by different people are different.

An ordinary teacher like Wang Mingzhen had his case submitted to higher authorities without any substantial evidence. By the time it fell into the hands of the higher-ups, there was often just a note saying "hand it over to Comrade XXX for handling" and it was then transferred to the bureau, where they would talk to Wang Mingzhen.

Zhang Yunqi gave the materials to Kang Cheng in person.

In fact, for Kang Cheng, the weight of these materials is not important, but the weight of Zhang Yunqi is important.

To put it bluntly, this matter is legitimate and does not violate any rules. It is also his responsibility. If he does not handle it properly, Zhang Yunqi can report it directly to Yang Jiarong or to Zhang Guoxiang.

At that time, Kang Cheng became passive.

The city just held the XX Conference, and Yang Jiarong has become the helmsman of Jiangchuan. Zhang Yunqi is Yang Jiarong's number one favorite and the city's top tycoon. After swallowing up many core industries of Gaoshan's Phoenix City Group, he and Zhao Jianqiang, the current chairman of the Municipal State Investment Corporation, jointly control most of Jiangchuan's important industries. He is the engine of Yang Jiarong's "Jiangchuan Model" and has considerable energy. In Jiangchuan, almost no one dares to challenge him, and all the system offices in the city will also buy the face of this young hero.

Kang Cheng is an old hand.

How could I not understand the truth here?

He didn't even need to know why Zhang Yunqi did this. He just needed to know that Zhang Yunqi wanted to do this, and then he would do it.

This thing is of great benefit to him. Not only can he do a big favor to Zhang Yunqi, a young man with unlimited prospects, but it is also risk-free. In the end, the materials will still end up on Yang Jiarong's desk, and he will make the decision.

At that time, it was about Yang Jiarong and Zhang Yunqi.

When the two parted at the entrance of Songlin Building, Kang Cheng, who was drunk, held Zhang Yunqi's hand and said with a righteous look on his face: "Don't worry, brother Zhang, we will definitely hold everyone accountable for this matter, and deal with it resolutely and seriously with a zero-tolerance attitude!"

Zhang Yunqi smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work. I am really busy today and cannot entertain you properly. Please call Wang Guibing and General Wang another day and we will meet again."

As he spoke, Zhang Yunqi sent Kang Cheng to the car. When he returned from Songlin Building alone, it was already 11 o'clock in the evening.

Zhang Yunqi did not go home, but went to the No. 1 Middle School in the city.

At the school gate, he saw an old lady packing up her braised food cart and preparing to go home.

Zhang Yunqi walked over and bought some cooked food such as potatoes, duck bones, chicken wings and peanuts. He also bought two bottles of Erguotou and two packs of cigarettes at a nearby store before returning to school.

The guard at the gate of No. 1 Middle School was already dozing on the table. When he heard the knock on the door, he got up impatiently and opened the door, and saw Zhang Yunqi. He smiled and said, "Mr. Zhang, you are back to school so late."

Zhang Yunqi was still the same as when he first came to this school three years ago, carrying a snakeskin bag every day, selling handheld game consoles all over the world under the scorching summer sun, and not returning to school until late at night. He greeted the guard with a smile, took out a good cigarette and handed it to the guard.

Then he went directly to Wang Xiaokai's dormitory.

Wang Xiaokai lay dead on the bed.

He lay there for a long, long time.

It seemed that he didn't know what happened in the outside world that day, and he didn't want to know. Perhaps, he didn't know that there was no one in the dormitory at night.

When Zhang Yunqi walked into the dormitory where he had lived for most of the year in the first year of high school, in the darkness, under the few rays of moonlight drifting in from the window, he looked at Wang Xiaokai's bed, which looked like a lonely grave.

To be honest, at this moment, Zhang Yunqi was quite envious of Wang Xiaokai.

How to say it? At least, at this age, Wang Xiaokai still has the ability to be childish in love. At least, when he just started on the road of life, facing the girl he missed for the first time in his life, he would be sad as if his heart was being torn apart. He would secretly wipe away snot and physiological secretions, and look haggard. He probably wanted to go to Mount Wutai to ask the elders: "Elders, elders, I am heartbroken. I want to die here with you and become a living Buddha for you." Zhang Yunqi couldn't do that.

In fact, for men over thirty, as long as they have had a few relationships and their beards are a little vicissitudes of life, they will be irreversibly, unstoppably, and their hearts will be sealed with cement.

The girl left, missed, no matter how good the girl is, she can only look at him, what idiot would run after the car like Yue Yunpeng? If one day, Zhang Yunqi saw someone really running after the car, his eyes would probably turn red, thinking that it was not easy for him, but when it was his turn, he would at most stand on the side of the road and send a WeChat message, "Don't miss the flight."

This is adult emotion.

One word: recognize!
Once you admit it, you will be calm.

Sit cross-legged, and let those who want to get married get married, and those who want to have sex have sex.

In fact, no matter who you are, you should not miss too many girls in your life, enough to make you realize that nothing is missed. The so-called missed opportunity and separation forever are not so depressing.

They are so common that it is almost impossible for you and me, given our insignificance, to capture every beauty.

It is actually a normal part of life.

Most of us have missed some things when we were students, and will miss others when we start working. At first, you thought you would never find such people again, and then you failed to keep them, and you felt that your life was torn apart, and this hole may not be filled by anyone. But you also know that this is not the case. Although they all attracted you more or less and made you fall in love, in the end they all left on the boat, but you did not commit suicide, nor did you live without love for the rest of your life.

All you do is watch the ship sail out of the horizon and into the embrace of the sea.

Then, he changed from a desperate teenager to an old dog who was calm and composed in the face of adversity.

At most, when it’s late at night and everyone is asleep, I’ll think about it occasionally, light a cigarette, and sigh.

This is indeed a sad thing.

But what can be done?

People are always mean, always wavering between reality and ideals, and suffering endlessly. And tonight, Zhang Yunqi wants Wang Xiaokai to put aside those beautiful and naive things and recognize the cruelty of reality. Because Wang Xiaokai no longer has the capital to continue to be naive like other students in this school.

He turned on the light, threw the cooked food, cigarettes and alcohol on the table, pulled a chair and sat down, and said: "Get down and drink."

After a while, Wang Xiaokai rolled down from the grave.

Under the dim light, he was wearing big shorts, with unkempt hair and a dirty face. The hair oil he touched when he met Yu Qingqing had not been washed off, and it was stuck together like a bird's nest. His eyes were swollen. He sat opposite Zhang Yunqi in a decadent manner, drinking with Zhang Yunqi late at night in the lingering smoke.

It’s just that the two brothers are too familiar with each other. Over the past three years, they have said everything they need to say. Now they are speechless and can only communicate with their hearts.

After finishing a bottle of Erguotou, Zhang Yunqi stared at Wang Xiaokai, who was leaning on a chair and breathing heavily as if he couldn't breathe, and said, "Are you feeling very uncomfortable?"

This is nonsense.

Wang Xiaokai covered his head with both hands and suddenly hit his forehead hard.

Zhang Yunqi said: "Then let me tell you something that will make you feel even more uncomfortable."

Wang Xiaokai's voice was hoarse: "What?"

Zhang Yunqi peeled a peanut and threw it into his mouth: "Your class teacher ran to Wang Daozhong's office and had a quarrel with Wang Daozhong because of you. He was sent to the No. 1 Municipal Hospital for emergency treatment. His life is still unknown."

Wang Xiaokai's entire body and breathing froze.

After a moment, he suddenly slammed his forehead against the table with a "bang! bang!"

Zhang Yunqi silently looked at the young man in pain, took out a cigarette and lit it, saying, "Are you feeling uncomfortable? Then I'll tell you something that will make you feel even more uncomfortable."

Wang Xiaokai paused as he banged his head on the table.

Zhang Yunqi took two puffs of his cigarette and said, "You were the first person to post the issue of tuition fees on the bulletin board. At the time, only three people knew about it: me, Chu Jian, and Yu Qingqing. I know that was my guess. You know very well that I have no interest in your gossip. Chu Jian knew that it was Yu Qingqing who told her."

"What does this prove?!" Wang Xiaokai raised his bruised forehead and stared at Zhang Yunqi.

"You are not usually so stupid." Zhang Yunqi threw a few peanuts into his mouth. Perhaps Wang Xiaokai was not stupid, but he was unwilling to think and believe: "Only three people know about your affairs. Chu Jian and I can't spread your affairs. So have you ever thought about this question? Yu Qingqing can tell Chu Jian, and can she tell others? Word of mouth, and spread to the ears of school leaders? And then lead to the current situation?"

Zhang Yunqi picked up the Erguotou and drank it in one gulp. His throat, heart and lungs were all burning. "Loving someone is not a matter of a moment, and not loving someone is not a matter of a moment. Since Yu Qingqing wants to break up with you, she must have thought it through and made up her mind a long time ago! She has been dragging it on until now, but it's just her emotions. She can't give up her feelings for you, and she needs a suitable opportunity to cut ties with you, and then put all the blame for the breakup on you, and she will continue to be her white lotus. And your expulsion is her opportunity."

"You're talking nonsense! This is all your guess!" Wang Xiaokai obviously couldn't accept Zhang Yunqi's malicious speculation. His eyes turned red and he gritted his teeth! His still childish face was extremely distorted!
Zhang Yunqi stood up.

He walked to the window and looked at the moonlight outside. "One day, you will get used to the fact that you can't get the love you want, just like eating sand or having diarrhea when you poop. Now, while you still have the ability and energy to suffer, you should suffer for one more night. Tomorrow morning, smile, act normal, roll up your bed and get out of this place to experience the cruelty of society."

"When the time comes, you will understand. There will be a voice in your ear telling you: when you leave school and enter society, you must say goodbye to innocence and become sophisticated and realistic, just like Runtu put down his steel pitchfork and called out to his master."

"Do you want to be a master? Unfortunately, your family doesn't have a mine, so you can be a grandson first." Zhang Yunqi took out a business card from his pocket and threw it on the messy desk: "I have just launched a VCD player project. If you are willing, report to Aihua Electronics tomorrow. For someone like you who doesn't even have a high school diploma, don't ask for salary. Your position is at the bottom. Don't come to me when you encounter difficulties, and don't use my name to show off in the company! Whether you can make it or not depends on your own ability."

There was deathly silence in the dormitory.

At that time, the night was already very dark.

There was moonlight outside the window, shining into the messy dormitory, which was filled with a depressing and solemn atmosphere.

Zhang Yunqi has already left.

When he left, he left a message: "You have already been looked down upon by women, don't let me look down upon you again."

In the deep night, the young man who was walking alone in the depths of his soul at this moment sat decadently on the floor tiles, his head against the bed frame, looking up at the ceiling, with silent tears in his eyes, but in his hand, he was holding a business card, tightly in his palm.
