Back to the teenage years

Chapter 542 Whose Name
It was three o'clock in the afternoon and the sun was at its brightest.

There was a hint of spring heat in the air.

Zhang Yunqi left the Aiwa Electronics production base.

He had been through a lot today, but he had almost finished dealing with the things that needed to be dealt with. He would make plans for the next steps after he figured out Philips' reaction.

After Zhang Yunqi got in the car, Xiao Wu asked, "Boss, where are you going?"

Zhang Yunqi thought for a moment and said, "Let's go to No. 1 Middle School."

Xiao Wu nodded: "Okay."

The Mercedes drove out of Ziyun Town, passed through Wuyun Temple, and sped along Xiangzui Road. After about twenty minutes, it arrived at the front gate street of Jiangchuan No. 1 Middle School.

Revisiting old places.

A familiar feeling came over me.

On the street in front of the school, students in blue and white school uniforms were walking around.

There are restaurants everywhere, and the glass counters of the convenience stores are piled with 50-cent orange sodas. Starch sausages are fried in the oil pan, making a sizzling sound, which mixes with the cries of selling stinky tofu and candied haws, scattered throughout this spring.

A jingle sound was heard, and a girl rode a bicycle over candy wrappers and camphor leaves. In the warm sunlight, the aluminum lunch box lid in the bicycle basket reflected warm light.

Zhang Yunqi looked up and saw the girl with a ponytail, wearing a white shirt, blue jeans, and white canvas shoes. She looked young, clean, tidy, and clear, and she was everything good in the world.

It’s just like the first time we met.

The old Zhang family’s Zhangji Qifengdu fish noodle shop is still there.

The store still stands diagonally opposite the gate of Jiangchuan No. 1 Middle School. It is now fully operated by Zhangji Catering. The storefront has not changed, the decoration has not changed, and the smell that wafts into Zhang Yunqi's nose has not changed.

When the waitress at Zhang's saw Zhang Yunqi coming in, she didn't order anything. She just stood there looking left and right, and couldn't help asking, "Handsome guy, would you like some fish meal?"

Zhang Yunqi looked back at the waitress. It was a new face he had never seen before. She was in neat service attire and had a polite smile.

He said, "No, thank you, sorry to bother you."

After coming out of Zhangji Qifengdu Fish Powder Shop, a rental bookstore on the side caught his attention.

On the faded blue painted door of the rental bookstore, there were a few crooked red characters written on the door: "Rent a book for 50 cents, rent a movie for 3 yuan."

He thought about it, turned around and walked over.

When I pushed the door open, a copper bell rang, and a stale, musty smell mixed with the aroma of fried skewers on the street hit me in the face.

What caught my eye were faded posters, old-fashioned ceiling fans, and narrow corridors. Martial arts novels and Japanese comics filled the metal bookshelves, with the yellow-covered books being the most numerous, all with Huang Yi's name on them. The afternoon sun slanted through the dusty glass, shining on a student squatting in the corridor, reading intently, with the "A Step into the Past" spread out on his knees rustling.

The boss was a young man with dyed blond hair. The glass counter in front of him was pressed with a brown paper account book, and the borrowing and returning dates were densely recorded in pencil. When Zhang Yunqi walked in, he was curled up in a rattan chair and reading "The Return of the Condor Heroes". The plot happened to be the seventh chapter "Double Ninth Festival" in which Yin Zhiping defiled Xiaolongnu.

Zhang Yunqi looked at the row of wooden shelves on the left wall, on which were placed VCD discs, mainly Hollywood blockbusters and Hong Kong films, as well as complete sets of domestic TV dramas.

He walked over and picked up a set of VCD discs. The discs had a plastic shell and were of extremely poor quality. On the disc was a picture of Chen Haonan, the gang leader of Causeway Bay. He remembered that the movie "Young and Dangerous 2: Way of the Dragon" had just been released not long ago, but there were already pirated copies in the mainland.

Zhang Yunqi turned his head and looked at the little yellow-haired boy: "Boss, how much is this movie?"

The boss looked up from his book at Zhang Yunqi and saw a man and a woman following him. The man was tall, thin and handsome, and the woman was wearing a black business suit and a high-end watch. She had an outstanding temperament and was obviously rich. He quickly stood up and asked, "Boss, do you want to buy it?"

Zhang Yunqi laughed: "What's the price?"

The little yellow-haired boy said, "Fifty dollars."

Zhang Yunqi asked: "What if it is rented?"

The yellow-haired boy said, "The daily rent is three dollars, and the deposit is fifty dollars."

Zhang Yunqi nodded, stuffed the pirated DVD player disc back onto the shelf, and turned to leave.

After coming out of the rental bookstore, he said to Xiao Wu who was following him, "Go back and talk to Ma Shi. I need information about the production and distribution networks of pirated CDs in several major cities across the province. See if he can find them out as soon as possible."

Xiao Wu nodded and said yes.

As he was talking, Zhang Yunqi walked to a place not far from the gate of No. 1 Middle School in the city. He saw that the flat ground at the school gate was full of people, making it look particularly lively.

There were a row of primary-colored wooden tables with a bunch of handicrafts on them, surrounded by pedestrians and students. A long, big red banner was hung on the camphor tree behind, with a few big white characters written on it: "Love helps blood prevention, and build a village of hope together."

Xiao Wu smiled and said, "Boss, your alma mater is holding an event."

Yang Jin was quite curious and asked, "What kind of activity is that? It seems quite lively."

Xiao Wu took a puff of his cigarette and said, "It seems to be a charity sale for schistosomiasis. After the flood last year, snails spread. Cases of schistosomiasis have popped up in many places."

Actually, schistosomiasis originated from the small island country next door, but in the 80s and 90s, it ravaged the Yangtze River Basin in my country, and southern Hunan, as a lake area, suffered greatly! This is mainly because the southern Hunan region is densely covered with water networks, agriculture is highly dependent on rice planting, and snails (intermediate hosts) are widely distributed. Xiao Wu’s hometown Guiping is in this situation, so he knows more about this. The prevention and control of this kind of thing is very difficult, and there are many complex factors involved, but the core reason is still lack of money.

Yang Jin didn't know much about this. After all, she had lived in the city since she was a child. "Is it serious?"

Xiao Wu nodded. "Today I saw more than 500 cases reported in the newspapers alone. In some villages, the incidence rate has reached 20%! The reason is that farmers don't have the money to treat it. But I don't know who came up with the idea of ​​students selling the money for charity. It's a bit like giving birth without an asshole. Gentlemen, drink two bottles of Maotai less, it's better than anything else."

Zhang Yunqi wanted to laugh when he heard this: "Didn't you see those reporters holding cameras? If they took pictures and published them in the newspapers, this event would be meaningful."

Xiao Wu thought this made sense: "Boss, that's because you can easily see through the essence of this matter."

Zhang Yunqi thought to himself, this is just the beginning.

He looked up at the red banner with the slogan "Love to help blood prevention, build a village of hope together", and in the lower right corner there were inconspicuous white words: "The event is fully sponsored by Jinzhao Industrial Co., Ltd."

This is the true essence of the matter!
This should also be the real reason why Li Yufei's uncle Xie Yun came to Jiangchuan this time.

There are strict regulations for the prevention and control of schistosomiasis.

If governance is inadequate, the health system from top to bottom will be held accountable!

As for the activity currently being carried out by Jiangchuan No. 1 Middle School, if nothing unexpected happens, it should be initiated by the city's health system and education system under the arrangement of Xie Yun, and it is very likely to be implemented in all major primary and secondary schools in the city, in the name of organizing students to sell handicrafts for charity, to raise funds to buy protective ointment for sick children. This protective ointment is a protective agent applied before contact with water sources, and it does have a certain effect.

Zhang Yunqi thought about this and said to Yang Jin, "Please arrange for someone to buy all the handicrafts that the students can't sell, and donate another 50 yuan."

Yang Jin was stunned: "In your name?"

Zhang Yunqi said, "Aihua Electronics. The city will definitely promote this matter, so let them promote Aihua Electronics. Let's go back and go to the city tomorrow."
