Chapter 31 Escape from Homesickness (2)

I finally failed to win the glory for my mentor and was admitted to a Ph.D. at a famous Beijing University.And the dissertation defense, which I was worried about, came quickly.Sure enough, as expected, the fresh topic I chose caused controversy among many teachers. There was a teacher invited from a foreign school with sharp questions and an aggressive posture. He insisted on asking the tutor to explain one of the questions.The teacher blushed and defended me, saying that I was a rare talented person who had published books, written columns, and been reported by the media. Maybe it was because of writing that the thesis was delayed, but his efforts were still obvious.A leader who had always been at odds with his supervisor raised his eyelids and said, if it weren't for your creative achievements, your thesis would have been rejected.I saw the teacher's face, after these words, it turned into an ugly purple.

When I was graduating, I called my advisor a few times.But every time I heard it was me, I either refused to answer it or spoke coldly. I knew that I had become an embarrassing scar on the instructor, and he would never be proud of me as a student again.

After a long time, I saw on the Internet that the tutor had won the school's honor when he graduated, and the book I published and the columns I wrote were impressively ranked first in his teaching achievements.

I think that from now on, in my mentor's heart, I will be just a line of abstract words on his honor table.As for me, unless I make greater achievements, he will never see me again.

The second person I choose to donate the book to is a leader.At that time, I desperately wanted to get a job as a writing teacher in this university. Knowing that he was the leader of the final decision, I proposed some cigarettes and alcohol and planned to go there to give gifts. I called several times, but he refused for various reasons. .In the end, I called again and said that I would give him a book that I published myself. The leader was silent for a while at the other end, and finally said lightly, okay.I excitedly held the book and went to the leader's house at the appointed time.After offering the book with both hands, my heart hung up, and my eyes couldn't leave the fat face of the leader for a moment.The leader frantically flipped through it twice, and said: You used to write such articles with no academic value. Although you were recruited to teach a writing class, we pay more attention to the scientific research ability of the teacher; besides, you Without a Ph.D., we want to teach a Ph.D. in writing. We evaluate a teacher not by how many collections of this kind of tofu he has published, or how many columns he has opened, but by his publications in core academic journals. How many important papers have been written; even if you can take good classes, but you can't do a good job in scientific research, there will still be many obstacles when we think about it.

I laughed along with the leader's remarks and said, please help me a lot.When I got up, the leader and I glanced at the book with a "discomfort face" on the table. I wanted to take it away and give it to any passerby who wanted to read it, or throw it into the trash can.And the leaders probably think it's an eyesore.But in the end, none of us said a word, and after we said goodbye, we were separated by a security door with a bang.

I did not go to that school in the end, I heard that they recruited a Ph.D., did not publish a novel or essay, but wrote a dozen papers that are said to be of great weight.A year later, I saw a book of my own on the old bookstall of that school, opened it, and gave a small card to a certain leader, which was still in it.I spent 5 yuan to buy the book, then let out a long sigh of relief, smiled slightly, turned around and mixed into the crowd.

My book ranked No.2 on the sales list of a bookstore that year.It was only then that I really understood that many times, we humans are not as good as a book. People often give books to the wrong boring people; The person who truly connected with it took it home happily.

At a party, everyone talked about the deception tactics of various people. A businessman who loves to be related to culture was immediately filled with righteous indignation, and excitedly talked about a deception accident that he had intimate contact with a TV series.

This businessman started as a handicraft workshop owner. With his excellent craftsmanship in furniture, he gradually expanded his business to the entire township, and finally surrounded the city, and also set foot in catering and entertainment industries.Although the industry accumulated in this way is not the richest man in the area, it can still be ranked among the top ten.People are afraid of being famous and pigs are afraid of being strong, so he became an upstart businessman, and soon various directors came to solicit sponsorship.

The businessman is of course complacent, and feels that he, who has not even finished elementary school, can be praised and respected by people in the cultural circles in every possible way.However, the difficulties and obstacles he has worked hard all the way still make him cautious, unwilling to easily cross the unpredictable river of culture.So he went around the river several times to test, and finally decided to invest the money in a TV series that a director surnamed Huang was planning to shoot.

When this young and promising director Huang showed his resume to the businessman, he really shocked the businessman.For the first time, he saw the humbleness of being uneducated in the eyes of the other party, and felt that no matter how rich he was, in his bones, he still couldn't get angry.According to his own introduction, this Director Huang has gone to a well-known foreign film and television academy to be gilded, and has helped the teachers of the Beijing Film Academy to make films. .

The businessman was indeed shocked by such a brilliant resume.According to his own analysis the day after tomorrow, he was actually shocked by the cultural class that stood in opposition to him.In this kind of light, he couldn't tell the direction, right from wrong, so he boarded the pirate ship in a daze.

Director Huang set up a dinner and invited the businessman and two other partners who bid together.After Director Huang painted the grand blueprint of this revolutionary TV drama with love, the two partners immediately said that they would invest several million in Director Huang. Said to look at the return on investment before deciding.Director Huang then pushed a contract in front of him, saying that if he missed such a good investment, he would be an entrepreneur in vain all his life.According to the contract, once the TV series is broadcast on CCTV, the businessman will be returned at least double the lucrative profit; that is to say, if the businessman invests 300 million yuan, he will get at least 600 million yuan in return.

The businessman thought about it after the meal, but was finally defeated by the urgency of the other two bidders that came to his mind.He quickly called Director Huang and said, he has contracted this TV series by himself, and the other two bidders, please reject it directly.

The result of such a decision brought to the businessman was that he dragged himself down a cultural road of no return.This Director Huang is indeed a big writer and a big producer. He moved the shooting scene to Xinjiang and used airplanes and cannons.The businessmen following the auction were soon told that money was in short supply and new investment was urgently needed.The businessman couldn't bear to waste his investment in filming half of the TV series. At any rate, he had to see his name and company appear on CCTV.But this TV series started to look like a bottomless hole that couldn't be filled no matter what.Moreover, Director Huang's temperament of spending money like water makes even a businessman who is always keen on consumption feel distressed. He not only lives in a star-rated hotel, but also spends a lot of time drinking.

But the businessman endured all this, like a little daughter-in-law who is planning to become a wife, praying that his investment can be recovered quickly, and he can also brag in front of a group of uneducated nouveau riche brothers .

But in the end, such a dream was completely shattered, because after the filming of the TV series, he died before he could see the light of day.In return for the businessman, there is nothing but a pile of discarded films in the warehouse.And when he wanted to sue this deceitful Director Huang, he realized that he had no way of suing him.Because, the contract stated that after the TV series was broadcast on CCTV, the businessman would be returned double the profit, but the TV series that were put into limbo did not even have their lives on CCTV, so how could they repay the businessman?And when the businessman wanted to find two other entrepreneurs who had tried to invest in Director Huang, he was told that it was just a plea for the two directors.

The businessman who made his fortune by deceiving countless people finally realized that he had deducted workers' salaries, run on small businesses, and defrauded others' trust for so many years. return.The devil is one foot high, and the road is one foot high. His previous journey was smooth, but it was because he had never met a master of deception like Director Huang.
