Chapter 76

"Finally back home," Jia Hongjian said as he lay down on his bed the moment he got home. "Get up, get up. The house has been dusty for a week. Wait until I finish cleaning before you lie down again," Su Ping pulled her son up and said. "Mom, the house isn't that dirty. It would be better if you rested. I've been on the train for so long, my legs are about to swell..." Jia Hongjian complained, trying to be lazy.

"Do you think your father and I are like you? You can ignore everything, but can your father and I? What would this house be like if we did?" Su Ping ignored her son's complaints and forced him to get up. "I'm busy at home. Tomorrow is Sunday, and your father still has to arrange that press conference according to your suggestions."

"Ah... forget it, I'll help you." Seeing how much his mother had done for the family, Jia Hongjian couldn't bear to sit idly by and watch, so he reached out to help.

At the same time, in a three-story building in Harbin, Wang Hongcheng was looking at his wife with a sinister expression. "You stupid woman! Did they really fool you like that? Don't you have any brains? How do I usually teach you?" "What good does it do to blame me? Why don't you think about how to fix this? CCTV has already filmed it. Once it airs, our company will collapse! I bet the officials and soldiers are already in meetings to withdraw their investments..." As she spoke, Wang Qilin wiped her tears and complained, "I told you not to deceive people, but you wouldn't listen. You shouldn't have deceived the central government. What are we going to do now?"

"Shut up!" Wang Hongcheng suddenly flew into a rage. "Who says our company will collapse? A brat thinks he can bring down my company? Dream on!" He then grabbed the phone, "Hello, is this Director Wang? It's Hongcheng. Help me arrest Ma Huateng and Ding Lei! I'm going to sue them for defamation and slander! I'm going to sue them for intimidation! I'm going to sue them for maliciously disrupting our high-tech enterprise! I'm going to sue them for treason! They must have been paid by foreigners to sabotage our country's high-tech projects! We must investigate this thoroughly and punish them severely! Director Wang, rest assured, I can conduct another demonstration experiment to prove myself! We can invite leaders from the provincial, central, and military levels to watch. Last time, it was definitely those traitors who tampered with it! Although I don't know what they did, it was definitely intentional! This time, I can prove my innocence to the Party and the people, and the government must stand by me!"

Wang Qilin watched her husband's face become more and more sinister. After he hung up the phone, she worriedly suggested, "Why don't we just give up? We were lying from the start... If we confess now, we might get leniency. If this gets bigger, what will we do?"

"Shut up! You women have long hair but short sight! When do women get to meddle in men's business? Leniency? Nonsense! That means a life sentence! Resistance is the way to go, and we'll be home for the New Year. Have you heard that?" Wang Hongcheng scolded his wife, "And think about it, if we get into the 863 Program, we can live off the state's research funds. Then we can enjoy a good life forever!"

At this point, Wang Hongcheng seemed to have an idea. "No! I need to call Yuanwang Company, the Science and Technology Commission, the Beijing Military Region, and the Planning Commission! I can't let their video be broadcast!"

...

The next morning, Jia Hongjian went to Old Mr. Luo's house. On the way, Jia Hongjian was almost moved by his own dedication—look, he had just returned from a trip and immediately came to give a lesson, and he didn't even need to come because he had already taken leave! Such dedication deserved a medal. But thinking about it, Jia Hongjian found it amusing. He was so dedicated because he was bored at home. Damn, the most famous TV series, "Beijingers in New York," wouldn't air until early 1994, and even the old version of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" wouldn't air until the end of 1994. Now that summer vacation was over, "Journey to the West" wasn't on TV either. How could Jia Hongjian spend his days? Instead of watching boring TV shows at home, he might as well come and tease the little girl.

Seeing Xiao Zhang open the door for him, Jia Hongjian handed her a bag. After Zhang Fenggu invited Jia Hongjian in, she opened the heavy bag and saw that it was full of neatly bound photocopies, which looked like photocopied textbooks.

"Mr. Jia... this..." Xiao Zhang looked up at Jia Hongjian, stunned. "Didn't I say I would photocopy my textbooks for you? These are them." Jia Hongjian smiled. When he said this, Xiao Zhang was so moved she didn't know what to say. They were just acquaintances, and they didn't have much interaction. She was a girl from the countryside, not pretty, not well-dressed, and not very educated. Jia Hongjian wasn't even interested in her, yet he had taken the initiative to photocopy the textbooks for her... This kindness made her almost cry. She felt that no one, except her parents, had been as good to her as Jia Hongjian, and she felt she could never repay him.

"Mr. Jia... Mr. Jia, how much did this cost? I can't let you spend money. I have money..." Xiao Zhang, moved, reached into her pocket. "No need." Jia Hongjian waved his hand with a smile. Since he had decided to help Xiao Zhang, he didn't plan to take her money. Besides, she might not have enough. Photocopying a book of a hundred or two hundred pages cost ten to twenty yuan. He had photocopied all the textbooks and exercise books for her, which cost nearly two hundred yuan. Could Xiao Zhang afford that?

"Alright, I'm helping you mainly because you're the same age as me. I'm still in school, but you have to work and earn money. You probably send a large part of your salary home to your parents, right? So, just study these books well. Don't worry about the money; send it to your parents. They must have worked hard to raise you..." Jia Hongjian comforted Zhang Fenggu generously.

Hearing this, Zhang Fenggu's tears started to flow. She now knew that there were still good people in the world, and such good people were almost like her parents! Although she didn't say much, she felt that if Jia Hongjian ever needed help... No, how could Mr. Jia ever need help? If there was something he needed her help with, she would do anything, even if it meant climbing mountains or jumping into boiling oil, to help Mr. Jia!

"Hongjian is here? Look at you, it's better to rest at home..." Old Mr. Luo saw Jia Hongjian walk into the living room and immediately stood up, holding his hand and sighing, "I'm not exaggerating, but in today's society, anyone as dedicated as you is a model worker!"

Old Mr. Luo wasn't just flattering Jia Hongjian. He was genuinely impressed by his dedication. Jia Hongjian was a tutor who came to teach the child, and he could have just taught casually like other tutors. But Jia Hongjian bought books, drew pictures, and created a comprehensive teaching plan that could cultivate a graduate student from scratch. And he was only fifteen, an age when most kids were in school and playing. Despite his busy life, he still came to teach so diligently. How could the parents not be moved? How many teachers could do this?

"Grandpa Luo, don't praise me too much, or I'll get arrogant..." Jia Hongjian said with a smile. "Uncle, Uncle, you're here? I missed you so much..." Little Luoli suddenly ran out of her room in a nightgown, grabbing Jia Hongjian's pants and not letting go. The girl had heard Jia Hongjian call her "Luoli" so often that she now called herself "Luoli"!

"Really? I missed you too, so I came to see you as soon as I got back to Shanghai..." "Uncle is the best! When I grow up, I'll marry you and be your bride, okay?" "Ha... okay!"

Jia Hongjian laughed heartily. If Old Mr. Luo was amused by his granddaughter's cuteness, Jia Hongjian was genuinely pleased. Look! Now the little girl had even said she would marry him when she grew up!

After playing with the little girl for a while, Jia Hongjian suddenly heard Old Mr. Luo say, "By the way, Hongjian, the people I asked to review the article you wrote have seen it, but they can't show you the sample..."

Hearing this, Jia Hongjian knew that Old Mr. Luo was telling him this because he saw how sincerely he cared for the little girl. Although it was an exception, the old man didn't reveal any key information, only saying that "the people above" had seen it. Who were these people? The municipal committee? The central government? Or the old revolutionaries in the Central Advisory Commission?

While Jia Hongjian was thinking, Old Mr. Luo continued, "By the way, come to dinner with me tonight. I have a reunion with some old comrades, and I want you to come with me." Hey, the old man said it like an order, not asking if Jia Hongjian wanted to. But how could Jia Hongjian refuse? It seemed that the old man really saw potential in him and trusted his character, wanting to introduce him to the old revolutionaries' network!
