1988: Back to the human world for a few years

Chapter 157 A Change That Was Completely Unexpected by Everyone

On Sunday, it was time for a small party where a group of young people would gather every two days.

However, unlike in the past when a large group of people gathered together and howled, this gathering was much quieter, with only Yang Mo, Bao Shuxian, Zhang Jun, Chen Feiyu, Zhang Lin, and Su Yu present.

Even if we include Tugouyatou, the non-staff member, there are only seven people in total.

And unlike previous gathering places, this time the party was not held at anyone's home, but at the bank of a river near Linyi County.

………………

"Life is a journey of ignorance, and at the age of twenty-four it is already a vast expanse;"

"Seven years of ignorance as a child, ten years of sitting in the classroom."

"I forged swords in the Imperial Academy for four winters, and returned to the wild, looking back in confusion;"

"Fight until the three-foot blade is broken into pieces, and all the evil spirits and monsters are wiped out."

After reading this casually created but extremely pretentious poem, Chen Feiyu gulped down half a bottle of beer, burped, and then began to write and mark on the thick notebook.

"Brothers, hurry up and come up with a pen name for yourself. I've decided that if I'm kicked out of my job, I'll go to the south to try my luck!"

"When we make some money, the first thing we'll do is compile all the nonsense poems we've been tinkering with into a book, and then publish it at our own expense!"

At this point, Chen Feiyu scratched his chin and said, "Well, only one thousand copies will be released at that time. Damn, it will be a limited edition... the kind that you may not be able to buy even if you have money!"

Bao Shuxian rolled his eyes and said, "Limited edition...Brother, if we are poor, just say so directly, don't try to save face with all that pretentious stuff, okay?"

"Besides, given our level, even if we publish it and give it to others, no one would be interested in reading it, okay!?"

Chen Feiyu pouted, "You know nothing! This is youth! The funeral poem book of youth! It records the ideals that have passed away or are about to pass away. It is priceless, okay... If no one buys it, I will keep it under the bed as a family heirloom and pass it down to my descendants!"

When everyone heard this, they started laughing and cursing, then bit off the beer caps and clinked glasses with this guy.

After Yang Mo took a big gulp, he looked at the guy with a grin, "Alright, I'll leave it at that. If you really publish a collection of poems, I'll give you 100 copies first!"

Chen Feiyu was overjoyed, picked up the bottle and clinked it with him again: "You said it, kid, you are not allowed to deny it when the time comes!"

Yang Mo spat: "I, Mr. Yang, always keep my word. If you refuse to pay, I will be the grandson in the river!"

………………

Chen Feiyu, who was always full of emotion, suddenly made this kind of doggerel that was three parts tragic and seven parts sad, and was ready to go south;

Comrade Bao Shuxian, who always liked to bicker with him, didn't even find fault with this ridiculous poem today...

The reason is actually not complicated.

Just on Friday, in accordance with the requirements of the Dongying Command, various oil units selected important people to form a joint working group at a speed that shocked everyone, and passed the group's first resolution at an unprecedented speed.

The first resolution passed by the joint working group, which was formally established only three days ago and led by Wang Yinuo, was...

The public security personnel of each unit immediately moved in and sealed off the logistics department, the financial office of the tertiary industry service company and the offices of each project team. They then formed a temporary supervision team with the discipline inspection department as the backbone to conduct self-inspection.

In order to ensure the effectiveness of this self-inspection, the temporary monitoring teams of each unit carried out work in a cross-cutting manner.

That is to say, the temporary inspection team of the drilling company went to the tertiary service company of the Linpan Oil Refinery to carry out work; and the temporary inspection team of the Linyi Oil Refinery would go to the drilling company's site to inspect the Xintai Service Management Company.

Even in order to avoid possible favoritism, the public security personnel who first entered these tertiary industry service companies also carried out cross-functional work.

The Public Security Department was actually dispatched, and this kind of cross-check method was adopted. The strength of this action can be imagined, and the decisiveness of General Manager Wang, who is usually silent, can be seen.

As for why the document issued by the Dongying Command was to assist local brother companies in solving the triangular debt problem, the first thing Wang Yinuo did after taking charge was to strike at the logistics department and the tertiary industry service company...

If you think about it, you will understand the reason behind this.

If you want to help those local companies solve the problem of triangular debts, you can't just talk about it, you need to spend real money, right?

Where does the money come from?
You can't just transfer all the money from the existing account of your unit, right?
What should we do if it affects this year’s production and operation plans?
What should we do if it affects the employees and their families in our unit, including their lives, education, transportation, etc.?
The headquarters does have documents, but if you can't distinguish the priorities and bring yourself troubles that may undermine your foundation, then you are extremely stupid!
But the command center has issued the document. If you don't cooperate with the work, or even if the problem of triangular debts of local enterprises cannot be effectively resolved due to insufficient funds, and you are held accountable, you will also be used as a sacrifice.

Thus, the story of Emperor Jiaqing and Heshen was dug out from the garbage dump.

At present, every unit, including the logistics departments and tertiary industry service companies, is clean and most of them are filthy rich.

Although the top leaders of various units had turned a blind eye in the past for various considerations, when the time came for the big hat to be laid, it was obvious what choice to make.

So, this is why the public security department intervened, and it was a cross-intervention.

Even primary school students know that the mess in the logistics department and the tertiary industry service company involves more than just themselves, and in order to ensure that enough funds are raised, they must make sure that there are no gaps in their pockets from the beginning... As for whether to take it and put it aside again, or take it and put it aside lightly, it depends on the situation.

So, this is why Wang Yinuo can take charge without any obstacles, even though the drilling company, a southwestern unit, is not well-received by the brother companies in the surrounding system, and even faced many exclusions in the past... Although it is all a mess now, the cause and effect are actually not small. If there is a choice, no one else would want to be in the limelight. Although this matter was caused by Wang Yinuo to defend the ring, such a decisive and ruthless method really made everyone look at this former "soft persimmon" with a new eye.

Logically speaking, this kind of high-level offensive and defensive battle would not affect small pawns like Chen Feiyu.

In other words, among the people present, even Yang Mo and the little fat man who were affected could understand it;
But Chen Feiyu, a small technician with no background, no qualifications and no real power, was implicated.

Probably in order to cut off all causes and effects, the chief and deputy chief of the Discipline Inspection Section of each unit are all on sick leave, and more than 60% of the temporary inspection team are young people who have just started working... These young people will go to neighboring brother units to carry out their work under the leadership of the backbone of the Discipline Inspection Section.

Unfortunately, Chen Feiyu was one of the dozen or so unlucky guys at the Linyi Oil Refinery.

In some ways, this guy is even more unlucky than Zhang Lin who works in the service team.

Zhang Lin was just a guy standing next to him in a hat. He was a little nervous when he was working. He just had to grit his teeth and hold on for half a month. Anyway, he didn't do anything dirty, so they couldn't find him no matter how they investigated.

But Chen Feiyu was in trouble.

If nothing unexpected happens, this guy will be in power for more than ten days, and then fall into endless nightmares afterwards, or even be thrown out to clean the toilet just because he stepped into the office with his left foot first.

So, this is why the gathering of friends that was so lively in the past became so deserted today.

Weighing the pros and cons is human nature and a sign of "maturity";

After one and a half years in the workplace, not everyone is willing to take the huge risks that may exist in the workplace for the so-called "friendship".

Similarly, this is why Chen Feiyu suddenly had an idea and planned to collect the limericks of everyone present into a poetry collection, and publish it at his own expense after he was kicked out... As the saying goes, a friend in need is a friend indeed. In his opinion, those who can sit together and chat now can really be regarded as friends worth remembering for a lifetime.

………………

After giving myself a very targeted pen name "Yu Donglin",

Bao Shuxian couldn't wait to nudge Yang Mo: "Hey, Yang Mo, hurry up, you've been thinking for a long time, have you decided on a pen name yet?"

Yang Mo passed out a cigarette with a sad face: "We have known each other for such a long time, and I have only contributed two short poems to him. There is no need to choose a pen name... If it really doesn't work, just record me as [Anonymous]."

Chen Feiyu waved his hand and said, "That won't do! No matter how many poems there are, everyone present here today is my brother. How can I leave a disrespectful name like Anonymous in the poetry collection that I will publish in the future?"

Bao Shuxian also looked dissatisfied: "You are usually quite boastful, so why is it so difficult to come up with a pen name? Hurry up and just pick two words from a classic or an allusion, and the name will be ready!"

Yang Mo looked helpless, and after thinking for a while he said, "I seem to remember that the Diamond Sutra says: What the Tathagata calls the various minds is not the mind, but is called the mind. Therefore, yesterday's mind is unattainable, today's mind is unattainable, and the future mind is unattainable."

Chen Feiyu sighed with emotion after hearing this, and tilted his head to look at Yang Mo: "So your pen name is going to be [Bu Ke De], or [Bu Ke De Jushi]?"

Yang Mo shook his head: "So Buddha is divided into past Buddha, present Buddha and future Buddha. And Sakyamuni Buddha said: Dipankara Buddha's body will exist for 3,000 generations, I will exist for 3,000 generations, Maitreya Buddha will exist for 3,000 generations, and when the future Buddha's body disappears, the world will be annihilated. So the pen name I plan to take is..."

Bao Shuxian said impatiently: "Present Buddha, future Buddha? You are really good, could it be that your pen name is [Six Thousand Future Lives], implying a future that will never exist... Tsk tsk, it sounds pretty hopeless."

Yang Mo shook his head again: "No, so I plan to use the pen name... [Old Six]!"

Old, Old Six! ! ? ?
Everyone spat out the beer in their mouths.

"You call me Six Thousand instead of Sixth in this life... You bastard! How dare you tease us! I'll strangle you to death!"

The angry Bao Shuxian pounced forward and grabbed Yang Mo's neck viciously, while Chen Feiyu and Zhang Lin were not to be outdone and directly pinned the guy under them.

Suddenly, the riverside filled with locust trees was filled with sounds of fighting and begging for mercy, which actually suppressed the annoying cicada chirping...

………………

At this time, they were next to a wild pond about seven or eight kilometers away from Yang Mo and others.

Zhang Wenshun, who was like Maitreya Buddha, shook his hand and the fish that had taken the hook immediately broke free.

Seeing the two-inch-long fish run away, the fat guy didn't care about the pain, but turned his head with shock and anger to look at the other angler next to him: "What!?...Wang Yinuo, are you crazy!?"

Wang Yinuo blocked the sun with his hands, then slowly turned his head, his face as elegant as ever: "No, Lao Zhang, I'm not crazy... If you don't want your comprehensive office to be disbanded, you'd better do as I say."

As he spoke, Wang Yinuo picked up the mottled bottle of Qibao Daqu from under his feet and took a sip, then handed it over, with a faint expression: "Old Zhang, believe me, I have never been so serious... And you know, as long as I, the head of the company, am willing, let alone disbanding the comprehensive office that you have worked so hard to build to this scale according to the procedures, even if it means cutting off all of Mr. Wang's ways to make a comeback, I can definitely do it!"

Wang Yinuo laughed at himself and said, "Who made me a Shanghainese?"

When Zhang Wenshun heard the word "Mr. Wang" come out of Wang Yinuo's mouth, his face turned pale.

After a long silence, he reached out and took the bottle of Qibao Daqu that had been locked in the cabinet for who knows how many years.

"it is good!"

This fat guy who used to be like Maitreya Buddha, now has an alarmingly low aura...
