National Tide 1980

Some people are happy and some people are miserable.

God seems to always maintain a delicate balance in his own way.

What about mortals who are struck by fate?

Some people will admit that they are unlucky, lick their wounds silently, pray to God to be kind, and passively wait for the good times to come.

There are also people who will summarize the reasons and experiences of failure and want to actively look for opportunities to change their bad luck through their own efforts and patience.

Others will choose another somewhat selfish, even cruel, way to reduce their losses and pain.

That is like devouring the same kind and sacrificing others...

The verdict in Li Zhong's case was announced in April.

He will basically suffer in prison for the rest of his life.

Moreover, as the second batch of prisoners in the capital whose registered residence was cancelled, he was sent to a bitter and cold place on the border.

On the other hand, the Jiang family not only successfully stabilized the Li family with their superb acting skills, but also made Li Zhong think that they had been helping out.

Not at all implicated in it.

Wu Shen's father even owed them a huge favor for privately informing the Wu family about the progress of the case.

It can be said that he is a master of "doing it right and doing it right".

But even so, the matter is still not over.

Because once the case is settled, it is certain that there is no possibility of overturning the case.

Jiang Hao's father began to urge his son to divorce as soon as possible in order to completely draw a clear line with the Li family.

Also near noon on May 12, Jiang's father had a long talk with his son in his study.

"Do you still remember the summer vacation when you were twelve years old, when you went back to your hometown in Jiangxi with me? During that time in my hometown, I often took you to the mountains to catch rabbits."

"I am responsible for setting the trap, and you are responsible for peeling off the rabbit skins with a knife. I will reward you with a dime for every rabbit skin you peel off."

"I told you at that time that we needed rabbit skin to make a leather hat. To make the skin soft, we couldn't wait until the rabbit was completely dead before skinning it. In fact, I was fooling you."

"Actually, I have only one real purpose, which is to harden your heart, get used to the blood, and understand death and pain up close."

"In the end, you got more than five yuan in your hand, right? I think it's worth giving you the money. Because only when you can face the twitching look of the skinned rabbit without blinking or trembling hands. You are worthy of me. Only his son is qualified to become a real man..."

Although my father's tone was gentle and his speech was steady.

But Jiang Hao still realized from this cruel memory that his father was expressing dissatisfaction with him.

He quickly defended himself.

"No, no, dad, just because I am a man, I can't do this right away. Li Xu is not a rabbit, she is my wife. She was really hit hard and she is a little confused. I will file for divorce now , it would be cruel to her. We have to wait until her condition gets better before she can speak. I don’t think this matter should be rushed. You have to give me some time..."

"A woman's kindness! Leaving now is the cleanest thing. Everyone will understand your choice. But as long as you soften your heart, if this matter drags on, there will be countless troubles in the future."

"Dad, I am a state cadre after all. I have to cherish my feathers and protect my reputation, right? If I am so arrogant, others will gossip behind their backs. What will the leaders of the unit think of me? I don't want to be a snobbery. The reputation of a villain. This will affect my career."

"You're confused! 'Snob' doesn't sound good, but I can only scold you for a few days, but this kind of nonsense will stick with you for the rest of your life! Li Xu is Li Zhong's sister, and this can never be changed. Our family Having such an unspeakable in-law will affect your career. The Li family has been completely defeated and will not be of any help to you in the future. It will only drag you down. Do you understand?"

Jiang's father looked at Jiang Hao with cold eyes, the depth in his eyes was simply terrifying.

His words were very straightforward, and he obviously couldn't bear this matter anymore.

Following him, he picked up a newspaper and threw it at Jiang Hao angrily.

"Take a good look at you. Anyone involved in this kind of thing will be ruined. What happened to the famous actor, what happened to the cadre's son? It's all ruined! You have a bright future and you dare to step aside from this kind of thing. Son? Instead of escaping in time, you still want to fly a moth into the flame. Are you stupid?"

Jiang Hao took the newspaper in his hand and took a look. It turned out to be the "Youth Daily" from the past few days.

The key is that the front page of this newspaper carried a report called "Criminals in the Lives of New Screen Stars."

It is all about the bad life of movie actor Chi Moumou and some local children when he was filming in Nanjing.

And the news that the incident was exposed and was severely dealt with by the public security department.

Judging from the date, although it has been suppressed for so long, a year had passed since the incident was disclosed in the newspaper.

But once this incident was made public, it still had the effect of a bombshell and caused an uproar in society.

Recently, everyone has been talking about this matter, and no one has thought that the law will not be merciful, even these proud men.

He thought about it and gasped.

"Dad, I... understand, I... I'm leaving..."

Such a compromise was extremely frustrating, but what could he do?

Judging from the news in the newspaper, he had to admit that his father's arbitrary and stubborn nature was quite reasonable.

What's more, his father is his God, and this cannot be changed.

Jiang's father was very happy that his son was no longer obsessed with it. Only then did he feel that he was a little too mean.

So he leaned over with some encouragement and patted Jiang Hao on the shoulder.

"I am your father, and you are my only son. Of course I am willing to give you everything I have. But in the end, you have to be able to accept it yourself."

"In this world, we often have to make such inhumane decisions. How can we let the truth of this world be so cruel?"

"Listen to me, child, if you want to survive in this world for a long time, you must not only learn to be a fox, but also learn to be a wolf. But both foxes and wolves are carnivores and do not need mercy."

His father's words made Jiang Hao completely determined. He no longer hesitated or struggled with his emotions.

But after all, this matter was still very difficult, and he still couldn't help but show fatigue and rub his forehead.

I couldn't help but stand up, slowly walked to the window, looked at the scenery outside, and revealed the hidden worries in my heart.

"Dad, I'm not afraid of anything else right now. I'm just afraid that Li Xu will be provoked and have an accident, or run into our bureau and make things worse. She has nothing to lose, but I'm different. If that happens If so, I'm afraid I'll have to adjust my work afterwards. Such trouble is probably inevitable."

Father Jiang nodded. "I'm glad you can think of this. I've also considered this situation for you. In fact, no matter whether she makes a fuss or not, you can't stay in your original position. But instead of transferring jobs, I have a better idea. You Come here first and take a look at this, the spirit just conveyed from above..."

As he said that, he took out some more documents and put them on the coffee table.

Jiang Hao obeyed his father's call and came back from the window. He picked it up and was stunned when he saw it.

It turned out to be a red-headed document - the "Interim Provisions on Further Expanding the Autonomy of State-owned Industrial Enterprises" issued by higher-ups.

The state not only decides to expand enterprise autonomy in terms of production and operation plans, product sales prices, and institutional settings.

At the same time, it was also decided to implement a dual-track system of planned and unplanned prices to encourage the development of unplanned economy.

The so-called "dual-track" price means that planned prices and unplanned prices legally coexist.

In this regulation, production is divided into planned and unplanned parts.

The supply of materials required by the enterprise is also divided into two sources.

That is, the part uniformly allocated by the central government and the part freely purchased are consistent with this.

Products within the plan are subject to state-approved prices, while prices for products outside the plan are determined by market supply and demand.

This is the "dual-track" price.

Jiang Hao's work quality is still excellent. He understood his father's intention as soon as he saw these things.

"Do you want me to work on the economy?"

"Yes!" Father Jiang nodded first, then added.

"Soon, this spirit will be conveyed. If each unit has a way to obtain supplies, I'm afraid they won't mind forming a company to develop their own pockets. This is just an opportunity for you to stand on your own."

"This is no different from fighting guerrillas. I think back then, in order to fight against encirclement and suppression, we were separated platoon by platoon and hid in various places in the mountains. When we came back, we were at least a company. That was a promotion. The platoon leader became a company commander, and all the veterans became squad leaders.”

"I'm pretty optimistic. In the past years, it was about having more soldiers, but now it's about who has more money. I'll say hello to your superiors later and grant you a few hundred thousand to start a company. It's probably no problem."

"After you get divorced, go and start a company. After a few years, you will really make the company big. Then when you come back, everything will be easy to talk about. Even if you really lose money, it won't be a big deal. After all, the capital belongs to the country, and it doesn't matter. People will hold you accountable.”

Jiang Hao's eyes suddenly lit up.

"That's right, your idea is too lofty. I'm going to set up a company, and I'm no longer in the office, so I can avoid the public opinion storm."

After a pause, he said again.

"However, I really don't necessarily have to pay. Dad, I heard that there is a boy named Wang who made millions just by flipping corn in Shenzhen, and now he has opened a science and education company. What do you think of me? With the support of the bureau and your connections, it really shouldn’t be difficult to make money. If you want to work in the south, you won’t be worse than him, right?”

Father Jiang was really surprised by these words, and he pondered for a while.

"Well, what you said does sound a bit solid. But I can't help you with Shenzhen. On the other hand, I have some connections with Hainan. I remember that two old comrades are working there, and they are probably still there. If you haven’t retired, why don’t you pay me a visit on my behalf.”

Hey! What does it mean to hit it off! It's unintentional!

Jiang Hao was really optimistic now.

"Ouch! That's great, Dad. Why didn't you tell me earlier! Hainan is great! Hainan is so great! I heard people say that now the island is full of cars. If I want to do this, I can make more money than any other supplies. . That’s really a sure profit.”

"Humph, don't be too happy too early. Nothing is guaranteed. I still say the same thing, I will do whatever I can for you. But it still depends on whether you can handle it!"

"Hey, Dad, I remember your words. I will be careful. I will never let you worry or let me down again."
