"What good can a fortune teller do?" Guo Biao said this. At that time, Ouyang Yun had just recruited "talents" like Huang Zilin back. When he said this, he looked extremely disdainful.
The trip to Guangzhou made him change his view. It was precisely because of this fortune teller that the inspection team was grandly received by Chen Jitang, the King of the South, in Guangzhou. He not only treated the inspection team, including Guo Biao, to several delicious meals, but also made reservations for them. He asked Jiang Shuren to bring his greetings to Ouyang Yun and ask him to visit Guangdong when he has time. It seemed like a courtesy between heads of state.
"This fortune teller is not easy." On the train, he couldn't help but sigh,
After meeting with Guo Biao and others, Jiang Shuren learned about the changes in the situation in North China. Jiang Shuren always acted thoughtfully. I don’t know what he was thinking about. He did not answer Guo Biao’s words and asked: "How is the 'business-based agriculture' going?" how's it going."
"After defeating a few local tyrants and evil gentry, things are going smoothly now. It's funny to say that because tenant farmers and long-term workers joined cooperatives and worked in factories. Now many landlords cannot recruit people, so large areas of land have been laid waste. But it makes those old things anxious."
"This is not a good thing. Not to mention that the land is deserted and affects Renqiu's agricultural production. The so-called landlords and old wealth are all powerful, and this will definitely offend their interests." What kind of person is Jiang Shuren? He is not worried about Ouyang. The Yun Independence Association alienated its relationship with Song Zheyuan and even the 29th Army, which revealed the biggest problem facing the Renqiu government now.
"What are you afraid of? The soldiers will block the water and the soil will flood. Besides, the army clearly supports it."
"It's different." It's indeed different. If the Xuebing Division still belongs to the 29th Army, no matter how excessive Ouyang Yun is, because it is an internal matter, Song Zheyuan can coordinate and resolve it, but now the Xuebing Division does not belong to the 29th Army. In the military order, it would be difficult for Old Song to speak. Taking care of Ouyang Yun would chill the hearts of his subordinates. If he turned his elbows outward and helped his subordinates to speak, not to mention whether Ouyang Yun had any ideas, Li Tieshu and others would definitely Jiang Shuren had an opinion and said: "China's national conditions are too complicated, and the forces of the Japanese and the central government are mixed in. In this way..." He shook his head and asked Guo Biao: "If there is a conflict between Song Gong and Ouyang Yun, what will happen if there is a conflict between Song Gong and Ouyang Yun? Which side are you on?"
This was a somewhat cruel question to Guo Biao. He scratched his head and said, "How could such a thing happen?"
"if."
Guo Biao thought for a while and felt troubled. Emotionally speaking, as Lao Song's former personal guard, he was naturally closer to Lao Song. However, his relationship with Ouyang Yun was that of brothers and confidants. He shook his head and said : "I don't know, maybe I won't help anyone, Mr. Jiang, what about you?"
Jiang Shuren looked out the window, pondered for a while and said, "I will help the family or not." The American delegation greatly touched him. The United States' high degree of industrialization, its wealth, its national pride, and the presence of overseas Chinese in the United States. The discrimination he suffered deeply touched some aspects of his nerves. Scholars are always full of emotions and have loftier ambitions than ordinary people. If he was still a little ignorant when he was alive before, following Song Zheyuan was more just for fun. If he could only earn a living and gain the dignity he deserved, now he had real ideals and ambitions: When will China be as powerful as the United States? This was a question that had been bothering him during the inspection. Because of this, he Only then did he discover the difference between Song Zheyuan and Ouyang Yun, and then he made up his mind to assist Ouyang Yun. Only then did he have such worries after figuring out the new situation in North China.
"Help managers don't help relatives," Guo Biao murmured. The faces of Song Zheyuan and Ouyang Yun flashed in his mind like a slideshow. He was feeling upset when he suddenly heard a sharp shout: "You guys are Who, stop." He looked at the entrance of the carriage and saw that Fang Datong had stopped a middle-aged man wearing a top hat and his entourage. The two sides were holding guns and were at war with each other. He hurriedly stood up and walked over with Jiang Shuren.
From afar, he shouted: "Director Chen, what a coincidence."
The middle-aged man in the top hat was Chen Brai. He didn't get a chance to get close to the inspection group in Guangzhou, so he had no choice but to follow them to the train. Unexpectedly, he knew that the inspection group was riding in a box and it was heavily guarded. He had no choice but to condescend. He came to see Hou Debang in person, but as soon as he reached the door of the box, he was stopped by Fang Datong. When he saw Guo Biao, he felt familiar but did not recognize him. He smiled and said: "This dear friend is."
"Guo Biao, a student of military division."
"Oh, it turns out it's Captain Langya. I've admired him for a long time." Someone among Chen Brai's men knew Guo Biao, and his identity was revealed. Although Chen Brai didn't know Guo Biao, he suffered a loss at the hands of Langya. , so he was deeply impressed by Langya. His face changed, and he reluctantly greeted Guo Biao, looking around the carriage, and said: "Dr. Hou is in this carriage, I guess. I am an old friend of him, especially Come and meet." Yu Tongkui, who was standing behind him, had already spotted Hou Debang and Fan Xudong sitting in prominent positions, raised his hand and shouted: "Brother Hou, long time no see."
Hou Debang looked over, stood up and said, "It's the chairman. What a coincidence. I invite you over here." He and Fan Xudong came over and introduced Jiang Shuren and the others.
Upon hearing that Yu Tongkui was the chairman of the association and that he and Hou Debang were old friends and colleagues, Jiang Shuren and Guo Biao immediately guessed their purpose. They looked at each other and Jiang Shuren said, "Since we are old friends, sit down and take your time." Let’s reminisce about old times.” Then he and Guo Biao sat with them and refused to move again.
Seeing that Guo Biao was here, Chen Bulei knew that the other party was already on guard. He thought that in this case, let's just make it clear. He waited for Yu Tongkui and Hou Debang to finish their greetings, winked at the former, and then said with a smile: "Dr. Hou's trip to the United States really boosted the aspirations of the Chinese people and destroyed the prestige of the foreigners."
Hou Debang is a rigorous scholar. If the situation does not require it, he will definitely not do something as humiliating as "plagiarism". He is from a scientific background, so he understands Ouyang Yun's seemingly childish things better than the average person. What is the significance of "thesis and monograph"? Because of this, when he gave lectures in the United States, he always called himself Ouyang Yun's student, saying that these were the teacher's monographs, and all he did was By extension, he did not lower his status by doing this, but instead made everyone sigh with emotion at his moral character and respect him even more.
Perhaps because he specializes in academic research, Dr. Hou will not pay too much attention to other aspects. He has no other considerations at all for this chance encounter with Yu Tongkui. Hearing this, he said with some shame: "Director Chen is joking. , these are all Mr. Ouyang’s inventions, and what I did was just a retelling.”
When Chen Brai heard what he said, his eyes lit up, and he had already identified the lifeline of his character, and said: "Dr. Hou is so humble. It is Mr. Ouyang's invention. For us laymen, it is a holy book, let alone a retelling. I can’t understand it at all. If Dr. Hou hadn’t been a rich scholar, he wouldn’t have understood these professional things.”
Hou Debang nodded and said: "Director Chen's words are very pertinent. It is true. Mr. Ouyang is really a genius. Every time I think about him not being able to win the championship this year, I feel sincerely ashamed. I feel that the first half of my life was wasted."
"It's just that your education and background are different. Dr. Hou shouldn't underestimate himself. By the way, I would like to ask, have you mastered all of Mr. Ouyang's inventions?"
"I can't even speak of mastering it. After studying it carefully, I have already memorized it in my mind."
"That's good." Chen Brai took great pains to test out the depth of "Dr. Hou". He was in a good mood and almost revealed his true colors. Seeing Guo Biao's eyes widening, he hurriedly calmed down and said: "Then Dr. Hou will be here from now on." What are your plans? Have you ever thought about teaching what you have learned to future generations and contributing to the strength of the country?"
Hou Debang's chest puffed up unconsciously and said: "Of course. After I go back this time, I will ask Mr. Ouyang for this job and strive to put these inventions into practice in my lifetime."
"Are you going back to Renqiu?"
"yes."
"Why not go to Nanjing? That is the capital of the country. There are thousands of aspiring young people waiting for food."
As soon as Chen Brai said this, Jiang Shuren, Guo Biao and other people who had been paying attention to him, not to mention Fang Datong and others with well-developed limbs and seemingly simple minds, also heard it. This kid was not talking about old times. This is obviously an attempt to poach people,
Bai Liusu and Shang Lian'er had been sitting next to Hou Debang. Bai Liusu was shocked when he heard this and looked at Chen Bui more than he thought. Shang Lian'er was childish and shouted: "Who is he? Really?" It's so abominable, he actually came to poach our place." He grabbed Bai Liusu's arm, shook it and said, "Sister Liusu, drive him away quickly, this person's intentions are too vicious." Then he said to Hou Debang: "Old Hou. , don’t listen to his encouragement, and don’t forget that you promised my father to help my family set up a TV factory when he returns."
Chen Bulei was embarrassed, while Hou Debang woke up as if from a dream. He stood up and waved his hands and said: "Director Chen, Debang's ambition is not in school, but to do something practical in a down-to-earth manner. When it comes to giving lectures, you should invite Ouyang Sir."
Chen Bulei darkened his face and looked at Yu Tongkui. Yu Tongkui winked at Hou Debang and said, "Debang, have you read too much and become pedantic? Who is Ouyang Yun? You are a separatist warlord who is at odds with the central government. How can you help him? As a descendant of China, you must serve the country. You, you should follow me to Nanjing. The chairman has already said that special funds will be allocated to you to build a laboratory and import world-class laboratory equipment from Britain, the United States and other countries. equipment……"
Seeing that they were getting more and more outrageous, Guo Biao stood up and said angrily: "Chairman Yu, Director Chen, Qian Qian did not meet old friends by chance and came here to reminisce. They actually have ulterior motives and other agendas. Humph, you guys What kind of place do you think this is, and who do you think Dr. Hou is? Datong, see you off."
"You." Facing Guo Biao's power, Yu Tongkui was speechless; Chen Builei's face kept changing from black to red. After Fang Datong made a gesture of invitation for a while, he stood up and smiled reluctantly at Hou Debang and said: "Hou Debang Doctor, we'll see you later." Then without even looking at the others, he turned around and led everyone away.
