Chapter 57(1/2)
After having supper at Hong Zhennan's house, Qin Zhiyong got up and left. Hong Zhennan personally sent him outside the door.
Qin Zhiyong did not return to his residence, but went to the newspaper office.
There are still some work in the newspapers that have not been completed. In this era, there is no labor law, and overtime is common.
Some people can’t do it if they want to work or work overtime.
People with work have no complaints no matter how hard or tired they are. People in this era are very capable of enduring hardships.
When I came to the newspaper office, the room was brightly lit.
No one has gotten off work yet.
Surprisingly, Qin Zhiyong met an acquaintance "Zhou Guangyao".
Zhou Guangyao is the son of Foshan entrepreneur Zhou Qingquan. Unexpectedly, he went to work as a newspaper where Qin Zhiyong worked part-time.
When Zhou Guangyao was in Foshan, he went to a restaurant in Foshan for dinner. He had a few meetings with Qin Zhiyong. Zhou Guangyao was also very happy to see Qin Zhiyong.
"Mr. Qin." Zhou Guangyao couldn't help but stand up from the chair and shouted excitedly.
Qin Zhiyong walked up to him and said, "Guangyao, I didn't expect you to work in the same newspaper as me. When did you come?"
Zhou Guangyao said: "This afternoon, the president agreed to hire me."
In the afternoon, Qin Zhiyong was in school and did not come to the newspaper office.
Qin Zhiyong said: "When I was in Foshan, I heard that you are a top student. Do your best. I believe that in the future, you will have a place in the newspaper and media industry in Hong Kong. After finishing your work, we will talk."
"Yes." Zhou Guangyao nodded.
Qin Zhiyong sat in his position and had a lot of press releases on his desk. These manuscripts were reviewed, and some manuscripts still needed to be revised. The workload would take at least three hours to complete.
It is already seven o'clock in the evening now. At the earliest, you have to wait until ten o'clock in the evening before you get off work.
Qin Zhiyong took out a pen to comment on the manuscript paper. The brush calligraphy he wrote can only be considered as a normal person, but after learning brush calligraphy, he would write the fountain pen calligraphy again, which would be like a tiger with wings.
The characters written by Qin Zhiyong with a fountain pen are all correct small regular script, which makes people feel clean and pleasing to the eye when they look at it.
If you are new every day, you are new every day, and you are new every day.
A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.
Qin Zhiyong asked himself to make some progress every day. Even this progress is so insignificant. But ten days later, a hundred days later, that is a big step forward.
Whether it is cultivating the mind, self-cultivation, or work, Qin Zhiyong must strive for excellence. Just like the knife skills in cooking, it is simple, but never ending.
Once Qin Zhiyong enters the working state, he will appear focused.
The surrounding environment has a very small impact on him. Unlike before, slight disturbances can help him escape from his concentration.
This is the effect that his spiritual cultivation has improved to the state of "concentration".
A colleague around him asked Zhou Guangyao: "Guangyao, did you know Teacher Qin before?"
Zhou Guangyao nodded and said, "Well. When I was in Foshan, I often met Mr. Qin. My father and Mr. Qin were friends. Mr. Qin had amazing cooking skills and was also a master of Tai Chi..."
Zhou Guangyao told his colleagues about Qin Zhiyong's situation. His tone was proud. Qin Zhiyong was not from Foshan, but Zhou Guangyao and Qin Zhiyong both came to Hong Kong from Foshan.
Meeting in Hong Kong at this moment, Zhou Guangyao naturally felt close to him.
My colleague was surprised and said, "The master of Tai Chi? The top martial arts master in Foshan? It's not that mysterious. Qin Zhiyong is a part-time editor of our newspaper and a Chinese teacher in a middle school. If you say that his articles are well written and knowledgeable, then I believe it. But, I definitely don't believe it if you say he is a master of martial arts. Teacher Qin looks gentle and kind, and he doesn't look like a martial arts person. Zhou Guangyao, you have a rich imagination. It's a pity if you don't write novels."
Qin Zhiyong came to Hong Kong and focused on psychology and Chinese studies, focusing on improving psychological quality. He had never revealed martial arts and boxing skills, and of course, there was no need to show them.
The great master of martial arts is very mysterious in the eyes of ordinary people. However, Qin Zhiyong thinks that being able to master martial arts is actually nothing special.
A true master of mind and scientist who can benefit mankind is truly amazing.
Zhou Guangyao was a little angry, and his colleagues didn't believe his words.
You know, what you say is the truth.
Qin Zhiyong used his wise plan to kill Sato and the military police and fled the Japanese military camp. It caused a great sensation in Foshan at that time.
Zhou Guangyao wanted to explain, but then he shook his head secretly. Since the other party did not believe it, no matter how much he explained it, it would be futile.
Writing a novel?
The speaker is unintentional, and the listener is intentional.
Zhou Guangyao decided to write Mr. Qin’s deeds in Foshan in the form of a novel and serialize them in newspapers. A martial arts master like Mr. Qin should not be unknown, but should be famous all over the world.
Qin Zhiyong reviewed the last manuscript and it happened to be ten o'clock in the evening.
After handing the manuscript paper to an editor, Qin Zhiyong said: "The manuscript has been reviewed. I have changed all the unreasonable parts. You can use it to type and publish it."
The editor said: "Teacher Qin, your work efficiency is so high. Okay, I will send the manuscript to the printing factory now and let the workers type and print it overnight. Tomorrow morning, these articles will be published."
Qin Zhiyong nodded and smiled, "Then I'll get off work."
The editor said: "Okay. Teacher Qin, go back and rest first."
Qin Zhiyong walked to Zhou Guangyao and asked, "Guangyao, are you finished?"
Zhou Guangyao said, "Mr. Qin, I just finished my work."
Qin Zhiyong smiled slightly and said, "Then let's go. Get off work."
……………………
After leaving the newspaper, Zhou Guangyao's stomach made a sound.
Qin Zhiyong said, "You're hungry. Let's go, I'll treat you to a midnight snack."
Zhou Guangyao nodded, not polite.
Qin Zhiyong took Zhou Guangyao to a food stall and ordered a few dishes. Zhou Guangyao ate very quickly and was a bit voracious.
Qin Zhiyong said: "Guangyao, eat slowly. If there is not enough food, let's order it again."
Zhou Guangyao shed tears and said while eating: "Mr. Qin, I ate something last night. I didn't eat for a day today. I was too hungry, so I drank plain water."
"My father was hit by a Japanese with a bullet and his mind was not clear. When I arrived in Hong Kong, if it weren't for the help of Uncle Wen, my father and I would have slept on the street. But Uncle Wen's family is having a hard time now, and it is said that they can't even afford the rent, water and electricity bill..."
Qin Zhiyong patted Zhou Guangyao on the shoulder and said gently: "Men should be self-reliant. Be stronger. The days of suffering will eventually pass. They will gradually get better in the future. After having lunch, I will go to visit your father with you."
Zhou Guangyao wiped his tears and nodded, "Well. After eating, I will take Mr. Qin there."
Qin Zhiyong asked, "By the way, Master Ye and his family have arrived in Hong Kong, where do they live?"
……………………
In a dark and small house, Qin Zhiyong met Zhou Qingquan.
Zhou Qingquan was lying on the bed and was already asleep.
At this moment, Zhou Qingquan did not have the style of a private entrepreneur back then. He is now a down-and-out, unconscious old man.
Zhou Guangyao said: "Mr. Qin..."
Qin Zhiyong held his index finger on his mouth, made a "Shiyu" gesture, and said softly: "Guangyao, whisper a little. Don't disturb your father's sleep."
Qin Zhiyong sat down beside the bed, took Zhou Qingquan's pulse, and shook his head secretly.
Qin Zhiyong had no choice but to have Zhou Qingquan's symptoms.
The brain is the most mysterious part of the human body, and Zhou Qingquan is the brain that has been damaged and stimulated.
Qin Zhiyong's traditional Chinese medicine mainly learns pharmacology. Acupuncture is just about understanding the skin and fur. Even if Qin Zhiyong has such a little internal force and uses acupuncture, there is no possibility of curing Zhou Qingquan.
Zhou Qingquan's situation can only rely on resting, hoping that one day a miracle will occur and his mind will be restored.
Qin Zhiyong took out all the cash he had on his body, a total of more than 800 yuan, and put it on the shabby table.
Zhou Guangyao said: "Mr. Qin, how can I ask for your money?"
Qin Zhiyong said, "You just arrived at the newspaper and haven't received your salary yet. How can you live without money? Are you planning to not eat every day and drink only white water? Besides, your father is in poor health now and needs to spend money. Just think I borrowed you and paid the salary, and you will pay me back."
"I'll go back first."
"Guangyao, if you have difficulties, you must tell me. Don't hold on alone."
Zhou Guangyao said gratefully: "Thank you, Mr. Qin."
……………………
When he returned to his residence, it was already midnight. Qin Zhiyong had no rest. He also had to study "Analysis Geometry".
What you should read today must be finished.
When his state of mind reached the level of "concentration", Qin Zhiyong was able to enter a deep sleep state within two minutes. He only slept for three or four hours a day, which was equivalent to an ordinary person’s sleep for eight or nine hours, which was enough to ensure full energy.
Morning.
It was just dawn.
Qin Zhiyong got up and studied.
Confucian scriptures must be read every day. Only in this way can we ensure that our mood does not regress.
If you reach "concentration", you will not be able to be happy and rest assured.
The higher the mood, the more cautious you should be.
