The next day, Huajing Airport.
"Why are you still following us? Aren't you going back to Kimchi Country to celebrate the New Year?" Zhao Lingshan covered her mouth and looked at Jin Nana who was doing some ideological work for her.
"Of course I am going back to Xinlu with Chen Xi to celebrate the New Year. There is an old saying in your country that if you marry a chicken, follow the chicken, if you marry a dog, follow the dog." Jin Nana was prompted by her and immediately made a decision.
"I'm not a chicken or a dog, what kind of metaphor are you talking about." Chen Xi's face was full of black lines.
"Hehe, you are really funny, you are not married yet." Zhao Lingshan waved her hand, but did not stop the other party from following. She turned to look at Chen Xi and asked, "Didn't the higher-ups say that we will do ideological work for everyone? Who will do it?"
"Who else could it be? Linxi and Xu Yun are both playing ball with each other and doing ideological work. They must be stricter in their words. Not everyone is willing to listen to this kind of thing. Simply put, it is easy to offend people." Chen Xi spread his hands helplessly.
“Then what should we do?”
“What else can we do? Someone has to sacrifice, but I think it’s not a bad thing to stand up and say a few words, so let me do it. , Haha! "Chen Xi chatted with Lin Xi and Xu Yun on QQ for a long time yesterday, and finally decided that Chen Xi would be the bad guy.
But he felt that it was necessary to stand up and speak this time.
Too many people are studying abroad now, and each generation of international students is not as good as the last. In previous lives, international students were actually labeled as good-for-nothings who only knew how to eat, drink, and have fun. If a path is not marked for them, some people will go astray sooner or later.
In fact, this incident has happened many times before. It is not just as simple as taking photos in important places, but some of them have joined certain organizations.
If you say he doesn’t know anything, that ghost won’t believe it. Maybe I thought it was fun and interesting at first, or I was brainwashed, or I just couldn't resist the temptation. In the end, I just wanted to do things for others.
Before the plane took off, Chen Xi sent the text he wrote last night to the QQ group.
“Dear members of the Youth Returned Association, as the number of people in the association increases, problems arise one after another.
The recent series of events have undoubtedly given us a wake-up call. A wake-up call.
At yesterday's meeting, the relevant departments reminded us that we must further strengthen the internal management of the association and at the same time deepen the education of patriotism. I think this is still necessary.
Back then, I was relatively young and it was my first time to study abroad. Western culture and systems do have a great attraction for me.
I have had similar doubts: Will our society become better if we learn from some Western practices? However, when I grew up, I felt that my previous ideas were not very realistic. It can be said that all aspects were not considered perfect. Every social system has its own unique soil and background, and simple imitation and copying cannot solve the fundamental problem.
During the journey of studying abroad, we may encounter all kinds of temptations and challenges. Some students were strictly disciplined by their parents when they were at home, but once they went abroad, they were like wild horses, attracted by the colorful world of the outside world. Although this is human nature, we must keep a clear head and realize that not everything that seems good is worth pursuing. In this complex and ever-changing world, there are always people with ulterior motives who will take advantage of our curiosity and thirst for knowledge to engage in various forms of inducement and deception.
I have lived in Tu'ao for a long time. Some international students may have gone abroad later than me and have not seen some things. For example, some newspapers publish some strange remarks on newsstands. Others lure international students with the promise of benefits and engage in some kind of transaction. The most common thing is to find international students at the airport, claiming that their luggage is overweight and wants you to help them pack things, but it is full of contraband.
Not all international students have good family conditions. In the past, those who went abroad were considered to be from the upper class in China, but now most of those who go abroad belong to the middle class. This includes some whose parents are in poor conditions and have sold their houses or borrowed money to go abroad. Those who go abroad in the future may do so specifically to stay there and work to survive.
No matter how poor a person is, I think he should stick to his original intention. Everyone has the right to choose a different life, but if you do something detrimental to your hometown because you are poor, you will be criticized.
The true value of a person does not lie in how much wealth or status he has, but in whether he can stick to his beliefs and principles at critical moments.
I often see some people bragging, saying that XX country is good and that is good, and the place where they used to stay is not good and that is not good. When war breaks out, it will be necessary to evacuate overseas Chinese. This group of people shouted "Long Live the Motherland" and were typical wallflowers.
In recent years, our international status has significantly improved, and we have more say in international affairs. Behind this lies the silent dedication and unremitting efforts of countless national heroes. From the humiliating history in the past to today's glorious achievements, every step embodies the sweat and wisdom of our ancestors. We cannot forget that it is those unknown heroes who used their youth and lives to pave the way for us today.
Now, we can also speak loudly at the League of Nations. Recalling the Pali Peace Conference that year, who can understand the sadness at that time.
From the time when GPS was deliberately shut down many years ago, to the exclusion of the International Space Station, to the fact that we are now able to independently complete our space dream, I feel that it is inseparable from the efforts of those heroes.
Some people are willing to be used as tools for others just because they want to go to a prestigious school or get some money. The actions of these people who betrayed the motherland for personal gain were not only irresponsible to themselves, but also a great insult to the dignity of the nation. If you take a few random photos or obtain some information, decades of hard work by some scientific researchers may be wasted. This is simply an embarrassment to our international students.
This incident is not the first time. Some people know everything, but they still make mistakes. To be honest, they are either stupid or greedy.
I know that everyone has a selfish side. Nowadays, more and more people have no faith. It can be said that they have no spirit of sacrifice. For example, an enemy has a gun in his hand and can manage a hundred prisoners, but no one dares to resist. That is because everyone wants others to get in first. If everyone wanted to sit back and enjoy the gains, the world would be doomed.
Let me tell you a true story. There was once a young man who, after many years of training in the country, decided to join the nationality of another country. His life in the other country was not easy. He usually suffered from discrimination and was called a traitor by his compatriots for a long time. decades.
Even his father denounced his son as a traitor who was eating the country's bread but ruining the country's pot. Faced with the abuse from his father and fellow countrymen, he desperately devoted himself to scientific research in other countries. In advanced laboratories, he created countless results and became a famous professor.
While other countries are still complacent, as a top professor, he already has countless students. But the important experiment only allowed students from their hometown to participate. By the time other countries realize that this is an infernal affair, it is already too late. With the help of his own country and advanced equipment, he secretly cultivated talents in his hometown and staged a gangster fight.
After decades of infamy, he finally returned to work with dozens of PhDs and hundreds of masters, making significant contributions to our scientific research.
As the saying goes, a counselor enters the game with his own body and beats half of the sky with his chess.
He said something that everyone can listen to: In the face of the great interests of the country, oneself is nothing.
This is called having to endure hardships for decades and come back with a pure heart.
As young people who have returned from overseas in the new era, we must have a firm sense of national pride..."
Close the phone, Chen Xi closed his eyes, and the passenger plane was about to take off. .
New Fangfang Education Headquarters.
"Mr. Yu, we meet again."
"Oh, why are you here again? Didn't I say that I wanted to hold a meeting with various departments to discuss." Yu Hong looked at Thomas in front of her and drank slowly. Mouth tea.
“The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and I want to try to finalize the cooperation. Otherwise, if I go back to Tu’ao after the New Year, the matter will be in doubt. I still really want to cooperate with your company.” Thomas said. Somewhat anxious.
"Haha, you are still young. You are in such a hurry to talk to me about cooperation, aren't you afraid that I will open my mouth? When talking about business in China, you have to fish for the other party, just like young people nowadays when talking about love, don't be so Quickly confirm the relationship. You should know this better than me, who is older.”
“Mr. Yu, I went back to discuss some of the conditions you proposed before, and I basically agreed to them. .”
"As far as I know, your association has been in big trouble recently. Yesterday, it was called to have a talk. You came to me in a hurry now, which makes me a little nervous." Yu Hong squinted his eyes. to each other.
“Haha, this does happen, but it is not what you think. Which company or organization will not have problems? I think Xinfangfang has also encountered some troubles in its development process. It must have happened more than once.
This time I want to talk about other things with Mr. Yu. There are so many educational institutions in the country now that they are all in disarray. Mr. Yu just wants to talk about it. Have you never thought about integrating them? "Integrating domestic education? Are you thinking too much? You think this is another industry. The water here is too deep, and many things involve the interests of public schools. No company can do this. Who is behind the public school? If you do this, you will probably be interviewed by the education department the next day. "Yu Hong looked at the young man in front of him as if he was a fool.
“I understand. What I mean is that there are many educational institutions opened by foreign companies in China. You know, many companies now look at certificates for job recruitment. There are many kinds of certificates in China, which are not as good as those abroad. The certificate is convincing. I want to work on this aspect..." Thomas' words immediately attracted Yu Hong.
Whether the company is developing overseas or introducing overseas things into the country, this is all within the scope of his consideration.
But until now, Xin Fangfang has not achieved anything. Since Thomas has a way, it's better to listen to what the other party has to say next.
When Thomas saw that the big fish had taken the bait, he felt a little more confident, so he crossed his legs and began to explain slowly.
In the evening, when Chen Xi returned home, he saw Chen Caiyue watching TV with her puppy at home, so she asked: "Mom, how was your conversation with that Middle Eastern man? When will the billion be paid? Us? "
"Ha, you think my family is a banker. Is it really so easy to give you a billion? It is true that people in the Middle East are rich, but not everyone in the Middle East is rich. .net Not all the so-and-so princes in the Middle East are so wealthy. There are only a few who can talk and spend a lot of money. Many domestic businessmen went to the Middle East because of the words posted on the Internet. When doing business, we got the order, but in the end we didn't get the money... Besides, there are a lot of conditions for doing business, aren't we still discussing in detail?" Chen Caiyue touched the heads of the two puppies.
"Oh, it seems that this Middle Easterner is not so generous. What he said before was all acting." Chen Xi sat down and touched a few spots.
"That's not true. They want us to spend our money wisely, that is, to develop something that can rival or surpass Huade." Chen Caiyue explained.
"Oh, I originally thought one billion was a lot, but if he said this, then I feel that another billion would not be enough!" Chen Xi laughed disdainfully.
You know, Huade has been developing new technologies, and the money invested is more than this. It is ridiculous to still want to reach the other party's technical line with a mere billion.
Suddenly thinking of something, Chen Xi immediately looked at his mother: "Mom, I remember that Huade not only has a scientific research institute in Germany, but there is also one in Baxi."
"Yes." Chen Caiyue nodded.
“Then why do we need to set up a scientific research institute in Basi?”
“That’s because eggs cannot be put in one basket. If one day we are subject to technical sanctions, Huade will It’s over.”
“Then why did you choose that place? I remember it was very messy.”
“Yes, the messier the place, the less likely it is to be cared for. I’ve heard that. Third, no matter the zone.”
"..."
Chen Caiyue's words seemed to make sense, but Chen Xi couldn't refute it.
I have to say that his father Chen Yifeng is still very imaginative, and he actually came up with such a solution.
Baxi, when normal people hear this place, they will definitely think of football first, and flour business second.
But few people would have thought that there are many expatriates from Sakura Country in Bashi.
In this machine tool business, Germany and the Sakura Kingdom are naturally in the lead.
It is not unreasonable to set up the research institute there.
"Oh, it seems that Old Chen still has some brains. After working for a long time, he is still a master of strategy." Chen Xi touched his chin.
“Don’t underestimate him. Although he is relatively poor at doing business, his business is not bad. Although many people who have worked with him scold him, Hua De It’s getting bigger and bigger.”
“Who’s in charge of Bashi?”
"Hu Jian has been there before. It was Huade's engineer Xiaohai. I don't know who it is now." Chen Caiyue thought for a while and gave a name.
“I think I saw that one when I was a kid.”
“Well, he was more advanced in the company than Xiao Hu. He settled down after being sent to Basi. By the way, he’s coming soon It’s Chinese New Year, what should we do with Jin Nana and Sha Zhi?” Chen Caiyue glanced at the three girls working in the kitchen.
“Hey, let’s stay and celebrate the New Year together.” Chen Xi sighed.
"You...hey!" Chen Caiyue was just about to say something when she saw three girls walking out with dishes, so she could only bend her fingers and hit her son on the head.
"I'm so embarrassed to ask you to cook just after we got off the plane." Chen Caiyue looked at the three girls and said.
"Auntie, this is what we should do." Saori waved her hand.
"That's right, Auntie, I can't let you cook." Zhao Lingshan also started to answer.
"I think we should let Chen Xi do it. When we get home, we can lie down on the sofa like an old man." Jin Nana muttered softly.
"Huh, him? I haven't eaten his food yet." Chen Caiyue covered her mouth and smiled sweetly.
"My cooking is delicious, but I'm just too lazy to do it." Chen Xi curled his lips.
He was not lying. Chen Xi could still cook. The basic life skills of international students were much better than those of domestic children.
I was reading the news before and heard that some children in China can’t even wash clothes, let alone cook. They are all spoiled by their families. Even Chen Yifeng is quite satisfied with Chen Xi's hands-on ability.
"What are you looking at? Is it the news in the group?" At the dinner table, Zhao Lingshan looked at Chen Xi who was holding the mobile phone and asked.
“Yes, I posted a short essay before getting on the plane. Some people must have praised me, and some have criticized me. Some said I was patriotic, some said I was using chicken feathers as arrows, and still others He said I was Song Jiang and was actually recruited, hahaha!”
Chen Xi read the words on the phone and laughed.
"Don't pay attention to them, they are all a bunch of fools! Or Linxi's little followers are out to set the pace." Zhao Lingshan comforted.
Most people are now aware of the dirty tricks in the association. The president, vice-president, and secretary-general are at odds with each other, and thoughtful people have discovered it long ago. (End of this chapter)
