The cold had just passed, and the northern wind was howling in the capital. Dark clouds covered the sky. The canteens by the roadside were closed, and the shops were closed. The pedestrians on the road looked sad and hurried. On this day, the entire capital was sad, and the entire country was sad.
Sun Shaoping dragged his tired footsteps home. He didn't take a car. He walked back. It was at least ten kilometers. The reason was that he just wanted to walk. He didn't go anywhere at work today. He stayed in the office for the whole day. He didn't go to eat, and no one looked for him.
As soon as he entered the door, he met Zhao Youliang. Sun Shaoping wanted to greet him and enter the house, but he was stopped by Zhao Youliang.
There were still traces of tears on his face. He lowered his voice and said,"Did you listen to the radio broadcast today?"
Sun Shaoping nodded.
Zhao Youliang slapped his thigh. What would happen to the country in the future? How were they going to live their lives?”
Sun Shaoping smiled bitterly and said," It's not as serious as you think. We'll live the way we should. If the sky falls, the big guy will hold it up. Why are you so worried?" Remember, do your job well and don't join in the fun.”Sun Shaoping's tone became more serious at the end.
Zhao Youliang opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but Sun Shaoping had already entered the house. As his status rose, Sun Shaoping unconsciously revealed an aura that made Zhao Youliang a little afraid.
Sun Shaoping threw his bag aside and lay on the bed. He was so tired. He had never been so tired in the past year. He was still affected by the sad atmosphere. Could it be that he had really integrated into this era? I could have stood on the side of an outsider and looked at the people and things of this era, but why did I not realize it?
Engage in it? He could stand on the side of the final winner and take advantage of it for free, but this would make him feel like a thief.
Sun Shaoping was a small figure. He couldn't participate in this sudden political struggle, and he didn't want to. It was better to live an ordinary life than anything else, but he didn't know if he could get his wish in the end. In the afternoon, he had already felt the strange atmosphere in the entire foreign trade department. Sun Shaoping wasn't sure if he could stay out of it. Even if he didn't get involved, someone might push him into it.
Sun Shaoping felt a little regretful. He should not have gotten involved in the officialdom so early, and he should not have come to Beijing. If only he was studying in high school in the original West County or working as a clerk in the county revolutionary committee, but there were no ifs in life.
"Get up and have some food. I've already prepared it."
Tian Runye walked in and looked at Sun Shaoping lying on the bed. There was an indescribable worry in her eyes. Runye, who had a pure heart, had heard the news of Du **'s death from the radio in the morning. Like most people in China, she was sad for this great man and worried about the future of the country. Now that she saw Sun Shaoping like this, how could she not understand something? Her second father, Tian Fujun, was often like this. Thanks to him, Runye was very sensitive to political struggles. It could be said that people in this era would be aware of it as long as they were not stupid.
Sun Shaoping stood up and tried to make himself look relaxed. He said,"Aiya, I couldn't squeeze into the car today, so I walked back. I'm so tired. What did you do today? I smelled the fragrance from afar."
"There's a chives shop selling chives outside today. They look quite fresh. I bought some tofu and baked some chives. Come and wash them.”As she spoke, Runye helped Sun Shaoping pour some hot water from the pot and prepared the towel and soap.
The leeks were golden on both sides, and it was still a little hot to eat. Sun Shaoping was so hot that he was panting. Tian Runye smiled and scooped him a bowl of seaweed egg soup, saying softly,"Eat slowly, there's plenty. You're still like a doll at this age."
Sun Shaoping drank a mouthful of soup and said,"I haven't eaten lunch today. I'm starving."
Tian Runye stopped smiling and frowned."No matter what, we still have to eat. At most, we'll go back and not stay here.”
Sun Shaoping said,"Sis, it's not what you think. You heard the broadcast today, right? I'm very sad about **'s death, but it doesn't affect small figures like us much. National affairs won't change because of our worries. We should be concerned about our own affairs, such as what we eat every day, whether the weather will become colder tomorrow, whether we should put on more clothes, and whether the fire in the stove is burning brightly. To put it nicely,'if you're not in a position, you won't be in a state'. To put it bluntly, it was 'who am I?' As for me, I didn't go to eat today because I was afraid that the chef at work would be too sad and drop his snot and tears into the dishes.”
Tian Runye knocked Sun Shaoping's head with a chopstick and said with a smile,""Your thoughts are always so strange. I thought that you were worried about the country and the people because you didn't eat.”
Sun Shaoping smiled and said," You're wrong. I'm not a party member. I heard that the party membership fee is about five yuan a year. With this money, we might as well improve our food." Do you think I'm useless? I don't plan to do anything big, nor do I plan to be successful. I go to work every day and get my salary. There's nothing wrong with living an ordinary life. Big things are left for those who want to do big things. As for the 'worrying about the country and the people' you said, let Fan Zhongyan worry about them. For example, your second father is suitable. Hehe, I can't be like him, and I don't want to be like that.”
"That's good. It saves people from worrying. When I went to buy vegetables today, many people gathered together to discuss some things. Do you think there will be a 'fight' like in the past few years?”Tian Runye was very worried.
" I don't think so. There won't be chaos if there's no support from the top. It won't happen even if it wants to. I heard that the leader is seriously ill now. I'm afraid he doesn't have much time left. The few people below don't have military power or enough prestige. They're just using the tiger skin to make a big flag. They're just clowns. When the time comes, they'll be dealt with in minutes..." Sun Shaoping said in a low voice.
Sun Shaoping's words shocked Tian Runye a lot. She had never thought about this. It was not that she did not care about this country, but she cared about it from a different perspective. Sun Shaoping looked at the top while she looked at the bottom.
"But some time ago, there were rumors everywhere that Deputy Leader Deng was revisionist and criticized the right-wing trend of overturning the case. Now that the police have passed away, I have a feeling that Beijing will become more and more chaotic.”Tian Runye was still worried.
Sun Shaoping took the leek and said,"" Chaos will definitely happen for a while. When there's a vacancy in power, all the political forces will definitely surround it like flies. A fight is inevitable, but it won't be too big a scene. The Red Guards of the past won't appear again. These tools can be used once. After a long time, they won't be able to get rid of them. Besides, those who should be dealt with have been dealt with. The remaining people are not worthy for him to come again. The final victory depends on who lives long enough. However, this has nothing to do with us. It's the new year in a month. If you have time, prepare for the new year. Oh right, what gifts do you want for the new year?”
Tian Runye was no longer worried when she saw how relaxed he was." I'm already an adult. What gift do I need? I just want to spend the New Year quietly. Hurry up and eat. It's already cold. I'll heat up the rest for you…"
How could things be as easy as Sun Shaoping said? In the following half a month, the political atmosphere of the Ministry of Foreign Trade became more and more strange. There were even rumors that the selling of oil, coal, and cotton to the capitalist countries was a "traitor and traitor" behavior, that the "four modernizations" was to "prepare the material foundation for capitalist countries", and that the restoration of reasonable rules and regulations was to "revisionist laws".
Some of these " crimes " were directed at the Ministry of Foreign Trade, more or less related to Sun Shaoping. The import and export trade plan for this month had not been completed, and the work of the Ministry of Foreign Trade had basically come to a standstill.
That morning, Sun Shaoping received a notice that Minister Bai was personally hosting a meeting. The secretary of the minister's office didn't say anything. Sun Shaoping thought about it for a moment and went to the big conference room on the seventh floor with his notebook and pen.
Sun Shaoping was the first to arrive. He sat alone in the second chair on the right side of the conference table, thinking about the possible topics that might arise today.
After a while, the directors of several research labs and several directors entered the conference room one after another. No one spoke. Some were drinking water, some were smoking, some were writing and drawing, and some were in a daze, such as Sun Shaoping.
The last person to enter was Minister Bai. After he sat down, he looked at everyone and frowned."Everyone has heard the recent rumors. Yesterday, the Central Cultural Revolution Group criticized the work of the Government Affairs Council and severely criticized the work of our Ministry of Trade. They asked the Ministry of Trade to rectify the work content of the past. Today's meeting is to discuss the measures for improvement.”
The first to speak was Wu Huifen. She took a sip of tea and cleared her throat."Let me say a few words. Since the Central Cultural Revolution Group thinks that there is a problem with our work, I suggest stopping the export of oil, coal, and cotton to avoid some unnecessary trouble…"
Chen Lin from the Trade Relations Research Center interjected,""Then how do we explain this to the authorities? What if they ask for compensation if we breach the contract?”
Wang Jianming from the Trade Enforcement Office smiled and said,""Explain? Explain what? If we want to sell our own things, we can sell them. If we don't want to sell them, we can't sell them. We didn't even ask for compensation from the little b * stard, and they still dare to ask us? If they dare to take it, we'll settle the score with them and see who will pay who.”
Chen Lin shook his head with a bitter smile." That's not how we settle the score. We gave up on the war compensation. This is different from trading. Besides, we signed a contract. We have to abide by the spirit of the contract…"
Wang Jianming interrupted Chen Lin,""What 'contractual spirit'? That's the dregs of Western capitalists. If you ask me, that contract is a 'traitorous treaty'. Using our country's resources to build a capitalist country, isn't that traitorous? I heard that some of our people suggested that we sell the foreign exchange obtained from selling the country's resources into the international capitalist market for speculation. This is a serious act of restoring the capitalist forces. The central government has already severely criticized our work. I think we should report it to the Central Cultural Revolution Group and find out these traitors, traitors, and speculators among us!”
Sun Shaoping did not want to participate in these political struggles, but some time ago, he suggested that Minister Bai invest the foreign exchange obtained by the Ministry of Foreign Trade in the international foreign exchange market and futures market. With Sun Shaoping's ability and foresight in the international market, he could completely treat the international foreign exchange and futures market as an " ATM ", but Minister Bai did not agree. From the bottom of his heart, Sun Shaoping was not willing to obtain foreign exchange reserves by selling oil. China's oil reserves were not rich, but this was a normal trade behavior. To say that " traitors and traitors " was just a label. No matter what Wang Jianming's purpose was, Sun Shaoping intended to sit on the sidelines. But now that Wang Jianming had turned the fire on him, he couldn't sit still.
Sun Shaoping was no longer a sculpture. He rubbed his temples and said,""Wang Jianming, you don't have to 'heard'. The' capitalist faction in power 'that you mentioned is me. You have to hide your head and hide your tail even when you're trying to frame me. Look at you. Which Rockefeller family is your master? Was it Nelson Rockefeller? I said I wanted to short the USD and buy more crude oil. I just wanted to get a share of your master's 'cake'. I haven't even done it yet, and your master has already let you out to bite people. We sold oil to RV and robbed his source of income. Then go tell him now that we're not selling. You spies are indeed very successful. With these achievements, I think Nelson Rockefeller will give you a green card.”
Wang Jianming slammed the table angrily and stood up.""Nonsense! We don't have a master, and we don't know Rockefeller. You're framing us!”
Sun Shaoping smiled and said," You keep saying 'we' and 'we'. It seems that there's really an organization and a premeditated plan. Tell me, who are they?" Let us all get to know the great underground workers of the M Nation. Our foreign trade department can also get to know a few more international friends. Even the work of the foreign trade department can be considered our work.”As he spoke, Sun Shaoping's gaze swept across the six bureau chiefs sitting there. Two of them lowered their heads and did not dare to look at him.
" You..." Wang Jianming pointed at Sun Shaoping. He was so angry that he couldn't speak. His target today was originally Minister Bai. If Sun Shaoping was involved, it would be like picking grass to catch a rabbit. If he messed with Minister Bai, he might be able to take over. Today, he even found an ally, but he did not expect Sun Shaoping to bite back and frame him.
The other people sitting at the table originally thought that Sun Shaoping might be framing Wang Jianming, but Sun Shaoping seemed to be reasonable and well-founded, and listening to Wang Jianming's words, there was really an " accomplice ", so they were somewhat skeptical. The key was that no one who supported Wang Jianming had a good ending. However, Wang Jianming's words had the shadow of the Central Cultural Revolution Group, so it was difficult for everyone to express their views. The heated meeting fell into silence.
Sun Shaoping broke the short silence in the spirit of "chasing the poor bandits with the remaining courage"."Minister Bai, I think we should leave Wang Jianming's matter to the Central Investigation Department. They are more professional than the Central Cultural Revolution Group.”
Sun Shaoping's words made everyone break out in a cold sweat. Everyone knew what kind of place the Central Investigation Department was. If they went in, they would either die or lose a layer of skin, but no one dared to say a word. Wang Jianming did not expect Sun Shaoping to be so ruthless. He was so scared that his face turned pale and his body trembled.
"I agree." Minister Bai pondered for a moment and said.”
Wang Jianming fainted.
