1979 The Life of Idle Fish

Chapter 670 Luo Tao wrote: Jingcheng Translation Office
After a lot of effort, the two young people were finally inspired to give up the opportunity to go out for further study and join the team of building their own homes.

The next day, Luo Tao went to the city to find the leaders in charge and asked them to cash in the big pie promised to Yu Minhong and his wife yesterday... the future.

People always like to tell the truth when they are excited.

Luo Tao relied on his wealth and fame, and even after running for a day, he got a note. To put it bluntly, "All units should provide the Jingcheng Translation Office with the greatest convenience and must solve the problem of office space as soon as possible."

Holding such a note, Luo Tao walked out of the office building and sighed three times at a time, "Oh! This person really has no feelings when it comes to money."

Sitting in the car, I thought about what the leader said, "The introduction of foreign equipment requires translators, but there is no need for the entire unit to come out. You know our current difficulties... Since you said this , we can’t do nothing at all, let’s do this!...”

Looking at the green street trees outside the window, as well as the pedestrians rushing to and fro for their livelihood, I figured it out.

He turned his head, looked at the straight road ahead, and murmured: "It seems that things can only be done by doing it yourself."

orchid garden.

"Hey, you guys came quite quickly?" On the way back, I called their pager, but I didn't expect them to come so quickly.

Luo Tao had just arrived at Orchid Garden and drank a cup of tea.

People are in good spirits on happy occasions. Let’s look at their clothes today. Apart from being gentle, there is a hint of philistine in their ability. They look like bosses, not intellectuals.

The two burst into hearty laughter first, allowing others to see their inner joy.

"After receiving your message, we got off work early."

It's about three o'clock in the afternoon.

As the voice of the market is getting higher and higher, it is not only enterprises across the country that are absent from work and leave early.

This bad behavior is also common in other units.

They all thought that Luo Tao had taken care of the translation office. At this moment, they were still superstitious about Luo Tao's reputation and couldn't help themselves. "Mr. Luo, have you done everything?!"

I don't know if it's an interrogative sentence or an exclamation sentence.

"That's right!" He seemed very unconfident when he said this. He was bragging about how comfortable he was before, but now he felt so weak inside.

When the two of them heard what he said, they were a little confused and looked down at Luo Tao with questioning eyes.

Suddenly being stared at by them, still condescending, at this moment, Luo Tao wanted to run or find a crack in the ground to sneak in temporarily.

Today, my prestige is destined to be gone in both of their hearts.

Luo Tao felt even more ashamed when he thought of the enthusiasm, passion, excitement, and eagerness to try after he and the others ate the pie he drew for them yesterday.

No matter how embarrassed he was, he had to face reality now. After hesitating for a while, Luo Tao simply showed them the note written by the leader.

"This..." They didn't know what to say after reading it?Is it because the leader attaches great importance to the career they want to do and writes a note to them, or is it because their career is not favored by the leader and they write a note to them.

Luo Tao was afraid that they would retreat because of this matter. As the saying goes, one soldier is a raging enemy, and a raging group of enemies is the same. He must set a good example for them.

Standing upright, sitting like a bell, he changed his previous sluggish demeanor, and his appearance was refreshed.

A good mental state will directly affect others.

Luo Tao didn't hide anything about this matter. He told them the facts and reasoned with them. They were both educated people and could communicate well with each other.

"They also have their difficulties, and we have to understand that even though we didn't give them a title, it doesn't solve some of the most practical problems for us."

From Luo Tao's words and demeanor just now, they had guessed this result.

There is an advance hint psychologically, and it is easy to accept it in my heart.

When they heard this, they agreed. Using this note to go to other units to do things would not only facilitate the process, but also make it possible for everything to go smoothly.

They remained silent while holding the note, acquiescing to this result.

Seeing that they had no idea about this, their hearts dropped.

Tell them to sit down quickly.

"The office space requires you to coordinate with the relevant units, and you also need to find ways to recruit workers. I think these things should not be difficult for you two teachers from Capital University."

As for the start-up capital for starting a business, don't go into too much detail. It would be too vulgar to talk about money in front of Luo Tao.

To him, money is just a set of cold numbers.

The two said there was no problem.

They chatted all night yesterday. After seeing the power of capital, they didn't value the iron rice bowl that much.

Take the book they compiled under Luo Tao’s banner as an example. In just a few months, in addition to the few thousand yuan spent on dinner and other expenses at the beginning, they finally divided more than 3 yuan per person.

This is an astronomical sum for them.

So Yu Minhong would say to eat free rice. If Luo Tao really pursued it, this amount would be enough for them to last for several years without having to find connections.

Based on their current salary of 150 yuan per month, if they want to earn 3 yuan, they need to work without food or water for 16 years. Life is neither short nor long. A person's life can last up to six 16 years.

Once a person gets the benefit of the doubt, he will not look back easily.

Before, they had earned 16 years of wages just through Luo Tao's name, and now they have Luo Tao's endorsement, so what do they have to fear?

Even if this fails, so what?

The worst case scenario is to work in Xichang. I heard that the salary and benefits in Xichang are the only ones in the capital.So they thought.

From the moment they were spotted by Luo Tao, success and failure no longer seemed so important to them.

Now even cats and dogs know that Luo's food is delicious.

Yu Minhong and the others are not fools, how could they let go of this God-given opportunity.

"Don't worry, starting from tomorrow, the two of us will take turns running the procedures required by the office."

Luo Tao didn't know that the two of them had made up their minds not to rely on the iron rice bowl anymore, but also made up their minds to carve out their own careers with Luo Tao's support.

Luo Tao was very satisfied with the performance of the two of them, and began to pat his chest and promise, "Don't worry, I'll say hello at the school."

Having had an experience, they now doubted Luo Tao's ability to do things, so they quickly stopped him and said that he would not bother with this matter and they would take care of it.

Luo Tao was looking for trouble, so he had to give up and let them solve the problem on their own.

It is a good thing that the subordinates are capable, and they can relax themselves.

May NO.15, visitors from the north.

Also on this day, Jingcheng Translation Office officially opened for business on Xuanwu Street in Xidan. The translation business involves English, Japanese, German, Korean and Big Brother languages.

Although there are only five languages, they almost cover the languages ​​used by our country to communicate with the outside world.

Nowadays, almost all those who can go abroad speak English, a universal language around the world.

Jingcheng Translation Office is the first private unit engaged in translation work in the country.

It's a pity that the date coincided with a major event, otherwise the news of the opening of the translation agency would have occupied the front pages of major newspapers.

"Everything is ready, just waiting for you to show your talents. As long as everyone works together, the future will be promising..." Luo Tao encouraged the employees of the office and then left calmly in a warm atmosphere. .

Recently, he doesn't like excitement the least, and he panics when people are overwhelmed.

Sometimes I feel cold from the top of my head to my heels.

In the middle of the night, I was tossing and turning.On May 21, Typhoon Buren made landfall in Guangdong Province.

Ting Ningquan reported that the typhoon was very destructive. Xichang's vegetable baskets in the Yangcheng area were severely damaged, and only one of the newly built plastic greenhouses was left intact.

After asking, he learned that there were no casualties, and Luo Tao felt relieved.

After getting the news, Hou Ming led the team directly to Rongcheng and then transferred to Yangcheng.

Before eleven o'clock.

Yu Minhong came to the door in person with gifts.

In the study room of Baihua Courtyard, Luo Tao was copying the inscriptions on the inscriptions calmly and attentively. Yu Minhong was also very honest. He seemed to be pouting, sitting with most of his butt beside Luo Han's bed behind Luo Tao.

His eyes were very focused and he was staring at a certain place in a daze, maybe he was too focused.

The two people in the study had a tacit understanding, each doing their own thing.

About a quarter of an hour later, Luo Tao finished copying. Yu Minhong was very discerning and quickly got up and walked over.

"I have long heard that Luo Tao is not only good at business, but also has great attainments in traditional culture. He also has Mr. Zhang Boju as his teacher. This is really enviable." He came up with a lot of flattery.

I looked at the words again, and suddenly my eyes were full of joy. I was happy that the manuscript I just typed up was put to use.

The rumors are all true. Mr. Luo's handwriting is indeed good, but there are a few characters that I don't quite recognize.

"Strive hard to lead the pen, if you are flying high, you will be graceful."

These words spoken out clearly show that Yu Minhong is very smart, he does not fall into the trap of flattery, and he also has something to say.

In addition, it also shows that he is knowledgeable and well-informed.

"Everyone says your calligraphy is good. I wonder if I can collect one today and learn to copy it."

This shot of Luo Tao is very useful. People like freshness, and Yu Minhong did this today.

The corners of Luo Tao's mouth raised, and even the best disguise could not hide the excitement in his heart at this moment.

The desire to be recognized by others, regardless of age or status, even the calligrapher will inevitably fall into this trap.

"Take it if you like it, and keep it for yourself. If you want to copy and learn, you have to follow the footsteps of the sages. If you learn my characters, it will be useless."

Happy to be happy, at this time his brain is still very clear, knowing how much he weighs.

Before Yu Minhong saw Luo Tao's calligraphy, he relied on rumors to flatter him. After seeing it, he sincerely wanted to collect a copy of Luo Tao's calligraphy.

This is a rare opportunity.

After putting away this copy work, Yu Minhong said with unfinished thoughts: "Mr. Luo, can you inscribe the company name for our translation agency?"

Previously, I was thinking about fixing the framework of the translation agency, so I neglected to inscribe the company name. Nowadays, companies like to find calligraphers or celebrities to inscribe in order to highlight the company's cultural charm.

Luo Tao readily agreed, and it was reasonable and reasonable to inscribe his company's name.

I laid it out on rice paper, dipped my pen in ink, glanced at the length and width of the paper, and after thinking for a long time, I wrote down the translation affairs in the capital in simplified Chinese and Liang Shi (Qi Gong style came from here, Luo Tao learned Liang style). So seven characters.

"Okay, this character is written so beautifully." Yu Minhong was very excited. He never expected that Luo Tao Qigong's writing was so good.

With this kind of writing power, there are not many people in the whole capital.

"Mr. Luo, did you learn this word from Mr. Qi?"

Luo Tao put down his pen and glanced at him. People nowadays are so ignorant.

"This is Liang Shizheng style." After answering his doubts, he asked again: "Do you know Liang Shizheng?"

Yu Minhong is very honest. If you know, you know. If you don’t know, you don’t know. “I haven’t heard of it.”

Luo Tao's enthusiasm for being a teacher began to stir again, breaking through all obstacles.

"Liang Shizheng was a famous official in the Qing Dynasty. He was a Tanhua during the Yongzheng period. He was good at literature. People at the time praised his articles as being close to Nanfeng and his poetic bones.

He studied calligraphy at first from Liu Gongquan, then from Wen Zhengming, Zhao Mengfu, Yan Zhenqing and others, and gradually formed the main style of Liang poetry, which is now known as Qi style. "

Yu Minhong marveled at how knowledgeable Luo Tao was, and biographies of famous people came right out of his mouth. He is truly a god!

Looking at the surprised look on his face, "Have you heard of the Sanxitang Fatie?"

"I think I've heard of it." I wasn't sure, but my brain suddenly thought of something else. "Is it the Sanxi hall in Qianlong's study?"

"Well, yes." It seemed that he had been to the Forbidden City and listened to many stories.

Knowing that Sanxitang would be easier to handle, Luo Tao told him the story of Qianlong, Liang Shizheng and Sanxitang.

"He was also the first of Qianlong's "Five Ci Officials". He was particularly good at writing imperial poems. You can't compare to him in terms of flattery skills."

Liang Shi was extremely prosperous during the reign of Qianlong, and his posthumous titles were all "Wenzhuang" after his death. His son was directly awarded a Jinshi status by Qianlong when he passed the imperial examination, which shows how much Qianlong liked him.

Of course Liang Shizheng himself is still talented.

"Liang Tongshu, one of the four great calligraphers of the Qing Dynasty, was his son. He was as famous as Liu Yong and others. He was an excellent calligrapher. When he was a child, Dahuang liked his calligraphy very much and sent people to ask for calligraphy. His name spread far and wide, including the Chao Dynasty, Liuzhou and other places. area."

Yu Minhong only hated why he didn't bring a small notebook with him when he came here.

"As a Suzhou native, you should have heard the story of Meng Lijun in Pingtan's "Fate of Rebirth", right?"

"I've heard of this." I finally met someone I knew, and I was very happy.

Now in the eyes of the teacher, I am no longer a poor student.

"The last three volumes of "Rebirth" were continued by Liang Shizheng's granddaughter Liang Desheng and her husband."

Scholars of all ages have been critical of Liang Desheng's "Rebirth", and even Chen Yinke, a scholar of the Republic of China, did not rate it very highly.

On this issue, she is the female version of Gao E. Gao was scolded bloody for forty chapters after writing "Dream of Red Mansions".

Then I thought about it, how much less exciting it would be without their continuation.

Watching "Dream of Red Mansions" makes people cry, which is partly due to the sequel.

Although the sequel is not as good as the original, it is infinitely better than the good reviewer.

After telling the story about Liang Shizheng, Luo Tao told him an interesting thing that happened to him.

"I was studying with Qi Lao. One day I saw him when he came home. The old man told me that it would be better to learn from him than to learn from Liang Shizheng. He learned from Liang Shizheng."

When talking about Qi Lao, Luo Tao talked endlessly, "The old man loves to play. Before he left, he secretly told me this little trick that most people would not tell him."

Hahaha, "This old gentleman is so funny."

Luo Tao immediately refuted him: "No, this is the demeanor of a master. He is not complacent and always has a humble heart."

For lunch, he was left at home to have a meal of Beijing’s authentic home-cooked noodles with soybean paste.

I don’t know if he likes to eat it, but he put the bowl to his mouth and kept sucking it. The sauce was still hanging on the corner of his mouth before he left.

I guess he likes to eat.
