Personal Luck and Social Ethos
One step, two steps, three steps... Every step he took made his heart skip a beat.【26nbsp;】
Like walking a tightrope, step by step, he held on to the wall and moved down with difficulty. He finally moved to a platform and stopped. He knew he had arrived on the second floor. He listened carefully and heard the breathing of two people in a room inside.
It was so clear that you could even hear their heartbeats.
One of them seemed to be blowing bubbles and snoring slightly. This was the sound of the handsome thug. They were all sleeping. He boldly continued to move down, one step, two steps, three steps... He still went forward in surprise every step of the way.
Walking down, like a ghost, moving in the darkness.
His feet finally touched the ground. He reached the ground floor and stopped.
The ground floor was dark, with only the white tiles in the kitchen at the back glowing with faint light. He pressed his body against the wall, first listening for the movement of the people above, but there was none; then he listened for the movement of the dog outside the back door, but there was no sound either.
He stabilized his heartbeat and moved to the back door. After only four steps, he tiptoed to the back door. He put his ear to the door to listen, and there was a faint sound of dog breathing outside the door. He carefully distinguished it, but couldn't tell what it was.
Its sleeping breath is still its waking breath.
His hand touched the door latch, and gently, gently pulled it out. No sound could be made. Making any sound now would be the same as killing himself.
The bolt was pulled out silently. He was so excited that he just opened the door and ducked out, and it was successful.
He stepped back for a moment, took a breath, gathered his strength, and was ready to rush out unexpectedly. As long as the dog was slow to react for a second or two, he could jump out of its chain range and rush out.
, escape to a place with many people... He thought about it, started to get lucky, and prepared to open the door.
The door was opened a crack, and a gust of wind came in through the crack, and there was a gray light like an iron rod. There was no movement outside. It was too late to tell, but it would be soon. He pulled hard, and a person was able to rush out.
In the gap, he suddenly stepped forward and jumped out.
At this critical moment, a black figure rushed towards him from outside the door, roaring like a ghost: "Woo-how-"
Liu Songyue was shocked, and subconsciously stepped back, unable to hold his feet, and fell to the sky on the cement floor.
At this time, there was chaos upstairs.
"Who? Get up!" Someone ran down in a jumbled step.
"Pop." The light came on.
Liu Songyue closed his eyes and curled up in despair, curling up into a ball like a hedgehog. He wasn't beaten, but his body felt as painful as a knife.
"Bastard!" That was the roar of the Hengrou thug, and then he flew up and kicked him on the butt. The handsome thug was even more vicious. After jumping down, he kicked him hard in the chest, while kicking and yelling: "Son of a bitch, my name is
You run away!"
Then he stepped on his leg desperately, trying to break it, "I let you escape!"
Liu Songyue held his head tightly and protected his chest, feeling that every part of his body was burned by fire...
"Stop beating him." The woman stood at the top of the stairs and shouted hoarsely, "If you beat him to death, do you still want any money?"
Only then did the two thugs stop. They looked at him, angry and swearing. The thug Hengrou said, "Damn, this bastard deserves to be beaten. He doesn't pay back the money he owes and wants to run away."
After a while, they all came up and dragged him. They dragged him upstairs like a dog, dragged him into the room, and threw him on the bed.
Liu Songyue was desperate and wanted to commit suicide by jumping from the third-floor window. What was the point of living like this? The old wounds had not healed, and new pains were added to his body. The scars were everywhere, and his whole body hurt as if a vicious dog was biting him.
The injuries on his body were bearable, but the pain in his heart was even more unbearable. What made him deeply sad was that these seemingly decent people became so cruel for a few dollars.
In this world, some people are barbaric and cruel, while others are civilized and cruel. For money, they are all doing whatever it takes to benefit themselves at the expense of others... This is something he never thought of before he went to the sea.
After graduating from high school, he took the college entrance examination twice in a row, but failed both times by a few points. After returning to the production team to work for two years, he was elected as the accountant of the production team. At the age of twenty-four, he was
Introduced and talked to a person, his parents helped him build two seven-road tile-roofed houses on the side of the road, and they got married.
The bride is beautiful, virtuous, hard-working and capable, and he loves her very much. The young couple is very affectionate and enviable.
Later, he was spotted by a village cadre and promoted to be the accountant of the village lock factory. He kept clean accounts and was a down-to-earth person. He was also hard-working, capable, and had a positive mind. He was highly praised by the factory employees.
Gradually, his prestige surpassed that of the factory director Tao Xinfu, which aroused Tao's dissatisfaction. Tao made things difficult for him and suppressed him... With his upright personality, he resigned in anger. He wanted to go out and make a living. That year he
Twenty-eight years old.
But before he left the village, while drinking with his confidants Ma Xiaojun, Shi Bing and others, Tao Xinfu made a bet: "If Liu Songyue can become famous, I will show him. He is too honest and ignorant.
With these two things, you are doomed to fail. If nothing else, let me give you a small example, so you will know. Once, I went to a town for a meeting. After the meeting, I rode back, and it happened to be
When I met Tang Zhongliang, the director of the town labor office, I wanted to establish a good relationship with him, which would definitely be beneficial to the factory, so I invited him to a restaurant for a meal. After the meal, I bought him two cigarettes and four bottles.
The total cost of the wine was only more than a thousand yuan. I was treating this for the factory and should be reimbursed by the factory. But Liu Songyue refused to say anything, saying that this was my private treat... Humph, what kind of person does this have to be in society?
, can you eat it well?"
When Liu Songyue heard this, he was so angry that his nose was filled with smoke. He asked someone to send him a message saying: "You, Tao Xinfu, don't underestimate me. If I, Liu Songyue, go out and don't make a name for myself, I will never come back to see you!"
So Liu Songyue came to Shanghai and first worked as an accountant for a small construction boss in the village. Later, the small boss lost money and went bankrupt, so he went to another construction site to learn how to make budgets and materials. After this construction site ended, he couldn't find a job for a while.
Just do it
He tried to run an engineering project. Unexpectedly, as soon as he started running, he ran into a circle of confusion and was confused by the troublemakers. But he kept thinking about the anger of gambling with Tao Xinfu, so he tried his best to save everything at home.
I took out all my savings and put all my money into it.
But he never imagined that the money was either given to scammers for food, drinks, red envelopes, and deposits, or was given to those who sat facing south. In the end, he chose no other way out, so he did an advance job and secretly returned to the village.
He borrowed money from the villagers and put it in, but he never got back the project money. In just a few years, he was covered in debt by the troublemakers, and he was covered in debt.
When he was on the brink of desperation, God finally let him receive a subcontracted job. This was a decoration project worth more than two million yuan. If it was completed smoothly, he would be saved and he could go back to see Tao Xinfu with pride.
.
Then he asked someone to renovate the two tile-roofed houses on the seventh floor into a building. Just like the little Liuzi who made a fortune outside, he stood upstairs and smiled silly at the villagers. Therefore, he attached great importance to this opportunity.
Several highly qualified technical personnel and a professional team were hired, and every small part was constructed in strict accordance with the drawings and specifications.
He thought that he would rather earn less than to do well and build a reputation for himself. In other words, he wanted to win praise from the general contractor based on quality. But he paid attention to the big things, but neglected two details, and he failed again.
.
One time, a person came from the general contractor. This person was a relative of General Manager Luo, who rarely came to the construction site. Liu Songyue didn't know him. He said his surname was Shi, and Mr. Luo sent him to deliver a piece of information.
When he arrived, it was just after noon, and all the food on the construction site had been eaten. Liu Songyue hurriedly asked people to go to the street and bought him a guest meal worth ten yuan a bag. This was the best guest meal.
Unexpectedly, when Xiaoshi went back, he would be furious in front of Mr. Luo: "What does Liu Songyue think of me? Ah, Amao Agou? I only gave him a box of guest meals. How stingy."
Mr. Luo said: "This is a small matter, so don't worry about it."
Xiaoshi widened his eyes and said: "This is not a trivial matter, nor is it just stingy, but looking down on me! Mr. Luo, I must participate in the next acceptance inspection. I can't swallow this breath if I don't retaliate against him!"
Mr. Luo actually smiled and acquiesced.
On that day, Liu Songyue required the general contractor to inspect and accept the concealed project in accordance with regulations. Mr. Luo asked Xiao Shi to come. With a vengeance, Xiao Shi bribed the engineer with a Nanjing cigarette on the road.
When he got there, the engineer looked around and couldn't find the problem. But Xiaoshi didn't give up and asked him to find a fault no matter what. If he wanted to accuse him, why bother? The engineer had no choice but to say something against his conscience:
"The wall thickness of the ventilation duct is a little different."
Xiaoshi seized on this non-problem and asked Liu Songyue to rework it. This was a disaster, at least more than 100,000 yuan would be lost, and the construction progress would be affected.
Liu Songyue was so anxious that he was sweating profusely, running around, begging his grandfather, complaining to his grandma, asking people to comment everywhere. But it was no use, and he would not let him do it unless he redo it! Liu Songyue knew that it was Xiaoshi who was obstructing him in order to get a lunch box for a guest.
Extremely regretful.
He quickly asked someone to come forward and wanted to treat Xiao Shi to dinner and apologize to him in person. As long as he was not allowed to rework, he could be given tens of thousands of yuan or even kneel down to him, but Xiao Shi was determined not to do so.
With no choice, Liu Songyue had no choice but to go back to work. He worked hard day and night, desperately catching up with the schedule, and finally completed the work on schedule. Finally, he asked the quality supervision station to come for inspection, and a total of three people came. Someone reminded him that they were actually just here to receive red envelopes.
When giving red envelopes, Liu Songyue didn't know how much to give, so he asked the construction worker. The construction worker said: "Generally, three to five hundred red envelopes are enough for this kind of red envelope. They have to inspect many construction sites a month, and the income is very high."
He just gave me five hundred. They took the red envelope and really only walked around in it before leaving.
Unexpectedly, he would come back soon.
