Chapter 34

When Jia Hongjian was giving his speech, he mentioned a friend of a friend's relative, who was actually himself. The story about seeing a BMW car when he first entered university was something he had experienced himself. In fact, not only was there a BMW parked under the dormitory building, but there was also a 400,000 RMB Lexus parked under the girls' dormitory building not far away. This was the brand that Toyota officially renamed to Lexus after 2004.

At that time, Jia Hongjian's father was still attending various trade fairs, selling clothes everywhere. Jia Hongjian's monthly living expenses and pocket money were only about 50 RMB. When he heard that a pretty girl who drove a Lexus had a monthly living expense of 10,000 RMB, he really couldn't understand how one could spend 10,000 RMB in a month.

It was after experiencing such a severe shock to his worldview, values, and outlook on life that Jia Hongjian first conceived the grand idea of finding a young, beautiful, and wealthy girlfriend. From then on, Jia Hongjian gradually embarked on a life of seducing girls, but after he succeeded with a high-class, beautiful, and wealthy girlfriend, he was forced by his girlfriend to work hard and strive for self-improvement, which is another story.

When he stepped down from the podium, all the students looked at him with solemn expressions. Yes, even the most mature students among them only thought about being better than others, getting into a good school, and finding a good job. No one thought about the secular significance behind all these efforts. Jia Hongjian was the first to tell them about the real situation in society and the unfair things they might encounter in the future. How could they not leave a deep impression of Jia Hongjian in their hearts?

Not only the students, but even the principal and teachers looked at Jia Hongjian with surprise. In the minds of these educators who had long heard of Jia Hongjian's reputation, he should have been a very clever but also very mischievous child. However, after listening to his speech today, they were surprised to find that this seemingly childish young man seemed astonishingly mature, as if he had already experienced many things in society.

Zhou Rihan was unusually staring at Jia Hongjian, her eyes fixed on him. While staring at Jia Hongjian, she was repeatedly pondering what he had said about "being confident, not being confident." This was an unconscious action for her, but she didn't realize that such curiosity was something she had never experienced before.

Jia Jinghang was looking at his uncle with a satisfied expression, thinking to himself, "Uncle is awesome, really awesome, not a little awesome but a big awesome." Seeing his uncle return to his seat, he immediately turned and asked, "Uncle, what does 'being confident, not being confident' mean?"

"Ahem..." Jia Hongjian cleared his throat, looked around at the people who were secretly trying to eavesdrop, and started to think about how to answer his nephew's question. He couldn't tell his nephew that the talk about being confident and not being confident was just a trick to create an air of mystery, could he?

It turned out that when the principal, for some reason, asked him to speak about his idea of buying fake goods and claiming compensation, he couldn't openly tell everyone that it was a business opportunity. Although after the report on "Oriental Time," many imitators would indeed emerge across the country, many of them would end up in a tragic situation.

As a person who had been reborn, Jia Hongjian knew about Wang Hai, who became famous for exposing fakes, and also about people who ended up in prison because of exposing fakes. For example, in Sichuan, there was a man who imitated Wang Hai and found several manufacturers engaging in false advertising. After buying their products, he went to their factories to claim compensation. The factories, for various reasons, gave him a sum of money to keep the false advertising a secret. After receiving the money, he indeed stopped exposing the fakes. However, he was later sentenced to prison for extortion, with the amount of the crime reaching 2 million RMB...

Exposing fakes, when taken seriously, is a struggle against criminals who harm others with no conscience. Even a slight weakness in willpower could lead to a significant loss. Why would Jia Hongjian want to tell his classmates the truth? If he got them involved and something happened to them, what would he do?

If he got them into trouble and could make a lot of money, it would be one thing. But the key was that now, by attracting them, he wouldn't get a single cent, and it would be a lose-lose situation. Wouldn't that just invite criticism?

Therefore, to make himself appear more impressive and raise the threshold for imitators, he deliberately said some contradictory things. How the students interpreted them as profound wisdom was their own business...

"The Buddha said, 'It cannot be said, it cannot be said.' You should think about it yourself, don't come to me, or you would be cheating, wouldn't you?" Jia Hongjian said to his nephew with a very righteous and dignified air.

"Oh..." Jia Jinghang nodded obediently and then tried hard to understand the profound wisdom on his own.

After the opening ceremony ended, Jia Hongjian took his nephew, who was still pondering the profound wisdom, along with Zhao Ziyuan and Yezi, back to the dormitory. After returning to the dormitory, Yezi gave up on pondering the profound wisdom and started to study hard again. Zhao Ziyuan and Jia Jinghang were still silently thinking about the profound wisdom in those two sentences, while Jia Hongjian spread out a pile of history books and started preparing for his class.

Yes, preparing for his class, for the little girl Luozi. This week, because he had to claim compensation and report to school, Wang Coulan gave him a break without him asking. He was preparing a song he had promised to the little girl, a song that spanned five thousand years of Chinese history, a song that would make all the parents of this era envious.

This was a song that transitioned from the mythological world to Chinese history, starting from Pangu splitting the heavens and earth, to the Sanxingdui ruins in Sichuan, to Kua Fu chasing the sun and Nüwa and Fuxi creating humans. Jia Hongjian particularly liked the part about Nüwa and Fuxi creating humans: "Nüwa and Fuxi are a couple, some think they are siblings, but it doesn't matter, they are gods, and they never stop creating humans..."

Jia Hongjian loved the idea of siblings becoming a couple or a couple being siblings!

Next, he started writing the lyrics for the part about Shennong tasting herbs with his transparent belly, Houyi shooting down the sun, the battle between the Yellow Emperor and Chiyou, and Yu the Great controlling the floods, which marked the transition from mythology to ancient history. Originally, Jia Hongjian, as an amateur history enthusiast, wrote about Yu the Great passing by his home without entering, and how his wife gave birth to a big, healthy baby during the years he was away.

Writing this part made Jia Hongjian very happy. The idea of a leader of a large gang not returning home for years while his wife gave birth to a son was intriguing, wasn't it? Who wouldn't want to know who the man who stole the leader's wife was?

But after some thought, he deleted the part about Yu the Great's wife. After all, this was a song for a 5-year-old girl, and he couldn't plant the idea that adults can casually have affairs in her innocent and romantic mind. He was planning to keep her for himself in ten years, so he couldn't let her be taken by someone else!

Moreover, if he wrote such lyrics carelessly, Luo Lao and Wang Coulan would never let him continue teaching the little girl, and the parents would have complaints, wouldn't they?

"Han Zhong Wang, Han Zhong Wang, calm and composed, secretly moving through the pass. King, only Liu Bang, using the strategy of the four-sided siege brilliantly. Han Zhong Wang, Han Zhong Wang, Xiao He's wisdom, Han Xin's military talent. King, only Liu Bang, the Han dynasty lasting for a hundred years. With the strength to move mountains and the spirit to conquer the world, the times are not favorable, and the black horse does not advance. What can be done when the black horse does not advance? What can be done, Yu, what can be done? The hero's lament, the strength to shake the mountains and the earth, the spirit invincible. Where are you, Yu Ji? My black horse will never rise again. The parting of the hero and the beauty..."

Jia Hongjian was so engrossed in writing that he hummed the rhyming lyrics as he wrote. Jia Jinghang, who had been thinking hard, became curious and asked, "Uncle, what are you singing? I've never heard this tune before."

"I'm the tutor for the little girl at Luo Lao's house. This is the song I'm preparing for the little girl to sing."

Jia Jinghang was immediately surprised, "Uncle, you can write lyrics and compose music?" "Shh, be low-key, what can't your uncle do?" Would Jia Hongjian foolishly tell his nephew that he had heard this song in the future on the internet? At the time, there was a video called "Ancient China Medley," where a group of people sang this song together. Jia Hongjian, as a web-savvy pseudo-otaku and amateur history enthusiast, had participated in part of the lyrics writing. But would Jia Hongjian openly plagiarize and tell others? He was a great villain! He was never a good child! A great villain appropriating others' labor was only natural! Otherwise, how could he be a great villain?

"Damn..." Jia Jinghang, who didn't know the real situation, was shocked, "Uncle, are you planning to have that little girl sing at the Olympic opening ceremony? Uncle, you can't favor one over the other, keep the benefits within the family, and write a song for me too? Let me also sing at the Olympic opening ceremony and show off?"

Seeing Jia Jinghang's glowing face, Jia Hongjian suddenly remembered that 1993 was the year China applied to host the 2000 Olympics. If his memory served him right, China would lose to Sydney by two votes in late September.

Although applying to host the Olympics didn't seem to offer much opportunity, having a girl he had trained sing at the Olympic opening ceremony sounded pretty cool!
