Rebirth of Siheyuan starts in the 1980s

Chapter 402 I don’t hate being famous, but I hate being famous without control

Who is Cao Zhiqiang’s so-called thigh?

No need to ask, it must be the big leader, Uncle Xu!

It can't be Secretary Dong and Factory Director Li. These two are not really close friends.

Speaking of this Uncle Xu, he is a person that Cao Zhiqiang has been thinking about since he just traveled through time. He is also the real boss in the Siheyuan plot world, and he is still at the ceiling level.

In order to establish friendship with Uncle Xu, Cao Zhiqiang thought of various ways, even lowered his body to lick the stupid pillar, and even thought about the idea of ​​marrying Sophora japonica.

Fortunately, in the end, the stick tricked her to death, giving Cao Zhiqiang an excellent opportunity without having to hook up with Sophora japonica.

This is not to say that Sophora japonica is not good, but that Cao Zhiqiang has met a better one.

In fact, to be honest, when Cao Zhiqiang watched the TV series in his previous life, he did feel that Huaihua was a bit heartless, a typical white-eyed wolf, and also very picky. In addition to his good looks, his personality was not particularly likable, and he was far inferior to Xiao Dang.

.

But after traveling through time, he discovered that was not the case.

In other words, you should look at Huaihua from a different perspective.

From Cao Zhiqiang's point of view, Huaihua is a typical selfish person and a rare sober person in the world.

To people like Sha Zhu and even Qin Huairu, Huaihua was indeed not very filial.

But if Huaihua has a man or has children of her own, then Huaihua will definitely stand wholeheartedly on the side of her man and her children.

Sophora japonica will never do anything like "Fu Ge Mo" or "Fu Jie Mo".

On the contrary, she will try her best to get benefits from her family, and then get her own little home.

To put it bluntly, Sophora japonica's outlook on life is more like that of a woman in the 21st century, particularly realistic and sober.

Therefore, if you become Huaihua's man and husband, Huaihua will definitely devote yourself to her husband, wholeheartedly make profits for your man and yourself, and will not let outsiders take advantage.

To a certain extent, Sophora japonica is very similar to Yu Li. They are very selfish, but they are all selfish towards their own family members.

It is precisely because of this that Cao Zhiqiang initially thought of hooking up with Huaihua and marrying her as his wife.

The reason why Huaihua came to the house as a nanny before was actually to create this opportunity for hooking up.

Because Sha Zhu has always had his own shrewdness and little calculations, so at that time, if Cao Zhiqiang wanted to use Sha Zhu to gain access to Uncle Xu, he most likely could only start with Sophora japonica and become a family with Sha Zhu.

Maybe I can ask Silly Zhu to help me get to know Uncle Xu.

Furthermore, at that time, Cao Zhiqiang did not know any other better women.

As a person who is obsessed with appearance, after looking at her again and again, he found that among the women around him, among her peers, Huaihua was the most beautiful.

But Cao Zhiqiang never expected that Banggeng would go crazy to find Wei Dajun out of jealousy, and then let Wei Dajun find trouble for Cao Zhiqiang.

The appearance of Wei Dajun accelerated Cao Zhiqiang's plan to frame him and escape. After learning that Banggeng's instigation and instigation was behind the appearance of Wei Dajun, Cao Zhiqiang became even more disgusted with Banggeng and at the same time, he also felt very attached to Qin Huairu's family.

disappointment.

Under the influence of hatred, Cao Zhiqiang has no thoughts about Sophora japonica.

In addition, while Cao Zhiqiang was in the hospital, he met the more beautiful nurse Yu Yuanyuan. He was distracted and couldn't continue to be with Huaihua.

It can be said that if Bangge hadn't secretly approached Wei Dajun and his group under the trend of jealousy, and asked Wei Dajun to find trouble for Cao Zhiqiang, maybe if it continued, Cao Zhiqiang would really get along with Huaihua and become an official couple.

couple.

That way, there would be no such thing as Qing Hong and Yu Yuanyuan.

Unfortunately, there is no if in the world.

Banggen's attempt to commit suicide not only ruined the marriage between Huaihua and Cao Zhiqiang, but also accelerated the process of Cao Zhiqiang's contact with Uncle Xu.

If there was no such thing as Banggeng's mischief, and there was no evidence that Banggeng instigated the crime, Shazhu would not have been able to help Cao Zhiqiang to meet the big boss so easily.

You know, although Sha Zhu has had a long-standing relationship with Uncle Xu, Sha Zhu has always adhered to his duties and would not ask Uncle Xu for help unless it was absolutely necessary.

Even Bangge, it was only at the end that Silly Zhu asked Uncle Xu for help in finding a job, instead of asking for help from the beginning.

Even Si Zhu, who is considered a good example of his own family, only asks for help at the end, let alone Cao Zhiqiang, who is a pure outsider.

But it was also because of Banggeng, Banggeng's future, and the inducement offered by Cao Zhiqiang that Shazhu was willing to introduce Uncle Xu to Cao Zhiqiang.

Well, in fact, Cao Zhiqiang's inducement is really just a tie-in. The key is Bang Gang, or Qin Huairu behind Bang Gang.

If it weren't for Qin Huairu, Shazhu wouldn't have risked his life to keep the stick, and naturally he wouldn't have agreed to accept Cao Zhiqiang's deal and introduce Uncle Xu to Cao Zhiqiang.

However, the role of Silly Pillar is just to give Cao Zhiqiang an opportunity to get in touch with Uncle Xu. The reason why Uncle Xu can really become Cao Zhiqiang's thigh is actually because of Cao Zhiqiang himself.

Cao Zhiqiang's talent and ability, as well as Cao Zhiqiang's identity as an employee of Hongguang Machinery Factory, and of course Cao Zhiqiang's miserable family background, are the reasons why Uncle Xu is willing to do Cao Zhiqiang a favor.

As for what happened later, it was Cao Zhiqiang who maintained it himself.

In fact, although Cao Zhiqiang has developed a friendship with Uncle Xu and seems to get along well, in fact, Cao Zhiqiang would not go to Uncle Xu's house easily.

This is not about burning bridges, but rather not wanting to cause gossip.

After all, no matter how prosperous and wealthy Cao Zhiqiang is now, he is still far behind Uncle Xu.

If Cao Zhiqiang goes to Uncle Xu's house every three days, his reputation will be bad.

This is not only a deterioration in Cao Zhiqiang's own reputation, which makes people think that he is clinging to powerful people, but also creates a bad reputation for Uncle Xu, making people think that Uncle Xu is using power for personal gain and has some shady deal with Cao Zhiqiang.

Of course, Cao Zhiqiang did not come up with this matter that had an impact on Mr. Xu's reputation. It was Director Li who told Cao Zhiqiang privately.

It is precisely because of Director Li's warning that Cao Zhiqiang rarely visits Uncle Xu's house unless he has to.

Just like now, he just had to come.

"Good boy, you haven't been here for a while, and you finally came here, but you ended up asking me to do something? You are really capable!"

Hearing Uncle Xu's laughing complaint, Cao Zhiqiang chuckled: "Uncle Xu, of course I am willing to come and play with you. After all, it is rare to meet someone who is worse at playing chess than me. Unfortunately, I am too busy recently and I really don't have time.

ah."

"What are you talking about?" Uncle Xu glared, "Who are you saying is bad at chess? If you have the ability, play Go with me! Let's see if I can defeat you!"

"You're bullying people now." Cao Zhiqiang shook his head, "I can't play Go. You and I can't play Go. Of course you can beat me. What kind of skill is this?"

"Then keep playing chess!" Uncle Xu curled his lips, "I was just careless before, this time I will kill you completely."

"Okay." Cao Zhiqiang chuckled, "Then let's play chess! Just in time, my hands have been a little itchy lately!"

Soon, both sides set up the chessboard and chess pieces, and the fight was about to begin.

"Wait a minute!"

Just when Cao Zhiqiang was about to move forward, Uncle Xu suddenly waved his hand and stopped Cao Zhiqiang's move.

"Xiao Cao, don't rush to play chess yet." Uncle Xu laughed.

"It's better to tell me what you want me to do first. Otherwise, you'll hide your worries and won't be happy playing chess with me. Don't blame me for being distracted when you lose. I don't want to take advantage of this.

."

Cao Zhiqiang was stunned for a moment, then nodded with a smile: "Okay, if that's the case, then I'll say it."

"Tell me, tell me." Uncle Xu picked up the porcelain cup with a smile and took a sip of tea. "I'll tell you now while I'm in a good mood!"

Cao Zhiqiang smiled slightly, then took out today's Peking Youth Daily, handed it over and said, "Uncle Xu, before you talk about me, please read this first."

Uncle Xu frowned, put on his reading glasses, and took the newspaper handed over by Cao Zhiqiang: "Oh, Peking Youth Daily, hehe, what, is there any good news?"

"Yes!" Cao Zhiqiang came to Uncle Xu, found the article reporting on him, then pointed to the article and said, "Look here first!"

Uncle Xu squinted his eyes and looked at it, then his eyes lit up quickly and he smiled: "Oh, I see, haha, I understand!"

Speaking of this, Uncle Xu read it carefully again. After reading all the reports, he put down the newspaper and smiled at Cao Zhiqiang:

"I remembered that you made a bet with me before. If you win the top ten in the college entrance examination, you will let me help you solve the film studio license issue, right?

Now you have directly ranked first in the college entrance examination and become the top scorer in the liberal arts college entrance examination. This really impresses me.

So, you asked me to fulfill my promise?"

Cao Zhiqiang smiled and shook his head: "No, it's not."

"No?" Uncle Xu was stunned, "Why, you don't want to start a movie studio anymore?"

Cao Zhiqiang also looked at Uncle Xu strangely: "Uncle Xu, you really don't know?"

"What do I know?" Uncle Xu was stunned.

Seeing Uncle Xu's expression, Cao Zhiqiang suddenly realized that he really didn't know about the establishment of Hongguang Film Studio.

Also, looking at him, it seems like he doesn't even know that he won the city's top liberal arts exam this year, let alone this matter.

In other words, Uncle Xu was not actually paying attention to Cao Zhiqiang's every move as Cao Zhiqiang had imagined before.

Because if you really pay attention to Cao Zhiqiang's every move, it is impossible not to know that Cao Zhiqiang became the city's top liberal arts student in the college entrance examination, and it is also impossible not to know the news about the establishment of Hongguang Film Studio.

Thinking of this, Cao Zhiqiang secretly laughed at himself, feeling that he took himself too seriously and took himself too seriously.

Yes, maybe what Cao Zhiqiang did is indeed remarkable and even legendary in the eyes of some people.

But in the eyes of people like Uncle Xu, he is really nothing. They may not have the intention to stare at you all day long.

Also, people like Uncle Xu, even if they take a back seat, will definitely be busy with a lot of things and have a lot of people to meet. Even if they are free, they may not still remember him.

Therefore, even if he is a big shot, it is normal for him not to know Cao Zhiqiang's recent situation.

who are you?

Why does everyone have to stare at you?

In the final analysis, it was Cao Zhiqiang who thought too much.

After laughing at himself, Cao Zhiqiang calmed down and told what he had accomplished in the film studio.

"Really?" Uncle Xu asked in surprise, "You managed the film studio yourself?"

"I didn't do it myself." Cao Zhiqiang said, "Secretary Dong and Director Li of our factory helped. In addition, Director Shi of the Film Bureau was reasonable and wanted to carry out a pilot reform.

Coincidentally, our demands coincide with Director Shi's reform plan.

Our model of contract operation and self-financing is very suitable for pilot reform of film studios. Moreover, if a new film studio does not involve the old forces of the old film studio, there will be no impact even if it fails.

That's why I can set up a film studio so easily.

In the final analysis, it is all about taking advantage of the situation and the needs of the times, and I am also adapting to the trend!"

"Haha, that makes sense." Uncle Xu nodded, "But no matter what, your ability to take advantage of the situation and seize the general trend shows that you have a vision."

Cao Zhiqiang smiled slightly: "This is just the beginning. Whether it will succeed or not depends on my specific operations. If the Hongguang Film Factory that I worked so hard to build does not run well and loses money, then it will be my problem."

Uncle Xu chuckled: "Reform always involves taking some risks. Since you know that and are still willing to set up a film studio, you must have been mentally prepared, right?"

"That's natural." Cao Zhiqiang nodded.

"Not bad, not bad. I like your entrepreneurial spirit." Uncle Xu chuckled, "You know, I helped you get the publishing house before, and your talent is only secondary. The key is that I like your fearlessness.

Enthusiastic.

Only people like you who have the courage to fear nothing from heaven and earth can create a new world and truly embark on the road of innovation."

Speaking of this, Uncle Xu sighed, as if he thought of something bad.

Cao Zhiqiang smiled slightly: "Yes, I think so too."

Uncle Xu took a deep breath and smiled: "Okay, now that you have taken care of the film studio yourself, what else do you want from me?"

Cao Zhiqiang sighed: "Uncle Xu, the matter I came to ask you for this time is not about the film studio, but something else, or in other words, it is related to the report about me, the top scorer in the college entrance examination."

Next, Cao Zhiqiang explained the ins and outs of the matter in detail, and what he asked Uncle Xu to do was to control the news report within a certain scope, not to quote the report, and it was best to stop talking about the matter.

After hearing Cao Zhiqiang's true intention, Uncle Xu laughed: "Interesting, really interesting."

Immediately afterwards, Uncle Xu frowned, looked at Cao Zhiqiang sideways and said, "Xiao Cao, are you sure you're not here to show off to me?"

"Of course not." Cao Zhiqiang smiled bitterly, "If I wanted to show off, it wouldn't be like this. I really want you to find some connections and help me suppress the news, or in other words, don't continue to ferment it and let others deal with it.

What kind of advanced example have I become?

To put it simply, regarding my matter, just wait for the news in the Peking Youth Daily and don’t extend it further.

In other words, if other major newspapers, such as the People's Daily, want to report on me, please help me suppress it and don't report on me more."

"Then I don't understand." Uncle Xu said with a smile, "If the media reports on you, wouldn't that be a good thing? Don't you want to be famous?"

"I don't want to." Cao Zhiqiang shook his head.

"Hey!" Uncle Xu smiled.

"If you didn't want to be famous, would you still write books, sing, or even become a singer yourself and release records?

I heard that your album called "Blooming Life" seems to be selling very well recently.

Of course, this is normal. After all, I have seen your talents in song writing and singing. I had expected that you would achieve what you have today.

So, I'm confused. Since you've already become a singer and released records, and now you're the top scorer in the college entrance examination, why are you asking me to suppress the news for such an outstanding thing?

Let’s not talk about whether I can do this, but your motivation is very strange to me."

Cao Zhiqiang smiled bitterly: "I knew you would ask this, okay, then I'll make it clear."

Immediately afterwards, Cao Zhiqiang took a deep breath, then raised his head and said seriously: "Uncle Xu, let me be clear, I don't hate being famous, but I hate being famous without control."

"What does it mean to hate being famous without control?" Uncle Xu asked.

Cao Zhiqiang said: "That's right, whether I'm writing a book or releasing an album, I always use a pen name and a stage name.

In this way, everyone just knows that I am good at writing poems and novels, and I am good at writing songs and singing. What they really like are my works, and then they love the house and the bird. They like the me who created these works, or that symbol.

However, this is controllable fame, because I just give my talent and let my work be spread far and wide.

As for me personally, such as my private life, I can continue to hide it.

In this case, my life is controllable, and my behavior is also controllable. I am still free to do whatever I want, and no one will force me to do anything.

Of course, this freedom is subject to the constraints of laws, regulations and social customs.

However, if you look at this article that praises me for winning the top spot in the college entrance examination but giving up going to college, do you see any clues in this article?"

Uncle Xu was stunned, put on his reading glasses again, and read the article carefully again.

At this time, Uncle Xu squinted his eyes, obviously seeing the doorway inside.

"Do you understand?" Cao Zhiqiang said seriously.

“On the surface, this article is praising me, but in reality, it is using me as a weapon!

This is to use the fact that I got first place in the exam, but did not go to college, but continued to work in the factory, to guide the social atmosphere.

I just want everyone not to regard the college entrance examination as the only way for young people, and call on everyone not to be idle and idle, but to go out of the house, find a job within their ability, and work hard."

Uncle Xu nodded, took off his reading glasses, looked up at the serious-looking Cao Zhiqiang, and chuckled: "Why, isn't this good?"

"Okay, of course." Cao Zhiqiang said.

"But I'm afraid that the effect will be too good, and some big bosses will want to take the opportunity to push me out as a model.

This may be good for many people, but for me, it is really not good!

Moreover, I don’t think that in this day and age, this kind of typical guidance is really useful.

Don't push me out as a model, but in fact it has no effect on changing social trends, and it even makes me feel angry.

If you hold me up high when it's useful, and if you throw me down hard when it's useless, then I'll be really miserable!"
