Rebirth of Bloody Romance

Outside the post office, the cold winter sun seemed to become lazy, shining weakly on Zhong Yuemin's tall and slightly thin body.

Zhong Yuemin, who had just completed the formalities, was playing with his brand new BB machine carelessly. The black plastic shell shone with a cheap-looking luster under the sunlight.

Zhong Yuemin gently pressed a few keys, and saw the numbers on the screen jumping happily, but this did not arouse much excitement and interest in his heart.

"Alas, this is just a very low-end digital machine." Zhong Yuemin thought absentmindedly, the corners of his mouth involuntarily rising slightly, outlining a hint of self-mockery.

After all, if you think about it carefully, the function that this little gadget can provide is nothing more than a simple "call to find someone" service, and its simplicity is really not interesting enough.

Zhong Yuemin couldn't help but close his eyes and began to try to imagine in his mind the possible scenarios that might occur when actually using this BB machine.

For example, if you want to find someone, you first have to laboriously dial the paging station's phone number, and then patiently explain to the operator who is nowhere to be found the pager number you want to page and the contact information you have left.

Before long, the called pager will emit a crisp "beep" sound, and the specific number of the call back will be clearly displayed on the screen.

However, the matter is far from over. Next, he needs to look around anxiously for a nearby public telephone booth like a headless fly.

Only after finding the phone booth and successfully dialing back the number, can we finally get through to the other party. Thinking of these cumbersome steps and the various troubles that may be encountered, Zhong Yuemin couldn't help but shook his head slightly.

"It's really troublesome." Zhong Yuemin shook his head, feeling that the process was cumbersome and inefficient.

However, Zhong Yuemin also has to admit that this small pager can indeed bring people closer together to some extent.

At least, in this era when telephones were not popular, it provided a new way of contact. Through it, people could talk about love and life. Although the process was tortuous, it was also a novel experience.

Zhong Yuemin was thinking while adjusting his pager. He didn't like the "beep" notification sound, as he felt that in public, the sound would attract too much unnecessary attention.

So, Zhong Yuemin turned the pager to vibrate mode and casually put it in his pocket.

"This way people won't look at me like animals in a zoo." Zhong Yuemin smiled self-deprecatingly, turned around and walked into the winter breeze.

Zhong Yuemin gently pushed open the slightly old door of the school office. With a creaking sound, a familiar and slightly bookish smell surged towards him like a tide.

Zhong Yuemin originally planned to return here to organize some important teaching materials in order to better carry out the next work.

However, the moment Zhong Yuemin stepped into the room, he saw an unexpected figure - Song Xiangjun! She was sitting quietly in front of his desk, flipping through something intently.

"Teacher Song, why are you here?" Zhong Yuemin blurted out almost without thinking, with a bit of unconcealable curiosity and a hint of teasing in his words.

Hearing the voice, Song Xiangjun slowly raised her head. A hint of anger flashed in her beautiful eyes, and she glared at Zhong Yuemin in annoyance.

Song Xiangjun thought to herself that if there were no other teachers in the office at this moment, she would definitely step forward without hesitation and teach this outspoken guy a lesson.

However, as an experienced and senior teacher, Song Xiangjun still controlled her emotions well, and on the surface she still maintained the dignity and dignity of an educator. She pursed her lips slightly and replied lightly, "I'm here to deliver something."

Just at this moment, Liu Yansong came quickly with an excited look on his face, holding a stack of brand new teaching materials in his hands, as if these materials were his most precious treasures.

Before he even got close, Liu Yansong couldn't wait to shout, "Yuemin, come and take a look at our latest printed teaching materials. You must take a good look at them!" As he spoke, he had already come to Zhong Yuemin and handed the thick stack of materials steadily into his hands.

Zhong Yuemin took the new teaching materials from Liu Yansong's slightly broad hands. He held the books, which exuded a faint scent of ink, in front of his eyes and began to examine them carefully.

The cover design of this entire set of teaching aids is extremely simple and elegant, without any unnecessary and complicated decorations.

The first thing that catches your eye is the green color that is as tender and juicy as a newly sprouted leaf bud. This fresh and unworldly green seems to be able to penetrate the human soul and bring a sense of vitality.

Just looking at it like this can make people feel happy, as if they are in a lush forest full of hope and vitality.

Zhong Yuemin's eyes moved slowly, and then he noticed the content on the cover.

In addition to the eye-catching title, there is also essential information such as the editor-in-chief and publisher. What is commendable is that the background color uses a single pure color scheme. Such a simple design style not only perfectly fits the serious and professional positioning of the teaching supplementary book itself, but also allows people to naturally feel the professionalism and rigor contained in it at first glance.

At this moment, Zhong Yuemin's attention was attracted by a small and exquisite red logo in the upper left corner of the cover.

Although the logo is not large and does not deliberately show off its existence, it appears so dazzling against the light green background, like a bright star twinkling in the night sky.

Although it is low-key and restrained, the unique charm it exudes is enough to demonstrate the "authenticity" of this teaching aid, making people have no doubt about its quality.

Zhong Yuemin looked closely and saw a line of eye-catching words printed below the logo: "Normal University Education Press" in large, solemn and eye-catching characters.

Following closely behind is the "China Secondary Education Research Center", which seems to radiate academic brilliance.

Looking further down, there are shocking words like "jointly written by more than one hundred famous first-line teachers and provincial and municipal teaching and research staff from across the country."

The joint endorsement by so many authoritative organizations undoubtedly adds endless charm and credibility to this book, making many parents and students instantly dispel their doubts about its quality when facing it, and be replaced by full expectations and trust.

With full of curiosity and eagerness, Zhong Yuemin quickly turned the pages of the book. The first thing that caught his eye was the carefully arranged preface on the first page of each subject.

This section is really full of stars! The prefaces were written by two highly respected special teachers and a knowledgeable professor from a normal university. They each explained the learning methods of the subject and the areas that need special attention from their own unique perspectives.

Those words are earnest and sincere, like bright lights that illuminate the way forward for those who seek knowledge. After reading them, one can't help but feel deeply benefited, as refreshing as a rain after a long drought.

Zhong Yuemin continued to flip through the book, and when he turned to the last two pages, his eyes lit up - the valuable learning experiences and unique learning methods of the top scorers in the college entrance examination were listed separately. These experiences and methods are like hidden treasures, waiting for those who are interested to discover and learn from them.

Zhong Yuemin read it carefully and was secretly amazed. Although the learning methods of these top scorers were different, they all reflected a spirit of hard work and excellence, which was exactly the learning attitude he pursued.

"This book is really good." Zhong Yuemin closed the teaching aid and praised it sincerely. "From the cover design to the content arrangement, it reflects a very high standard. I believe that with the help of this teaching aid, students' academic performance will definitely be improved."

"That's for sure."

"What we produce must be high-quality."

Zhong Yuemin flipped through the last two pages of the supplementary textbook, which listed the names and learning experiences of several top scorers in the college entrance examination. He frowned slightly and asked in confusion, "What departments are these people from? Why don't I know them?"

After hearing this, Song Xiangjun smiled and explained, "They are from Qingmu University, of course you don't know them."

"Oh, so it's Qingmu University." Zhong Yuemin suddenly realized, and then asked curiously, "How did you find them all?"

Liu Yansong smiled proudly. "If we don't find them, our school won't be able to gather so many top scorers in the college entrance examination. I asked Zhu Jianguo to find them. He knows most of the people from your third grade. With a meal and two bottles of wine, they happily agreed."

"Haha, it seems we have found a treasure this time." Zhong Yuemin also laughed happily. "Once this book is on the market, it will be like Dugu Qiubai, dominating the world, and it will be just around the corner!"

"That's right!" Liu Yansong nodded repeatedly, his face filled with excitement and pride. "We are definitely going to make a lot of money this time."

Speaking of making money, Liu Yansong suddenly remembered something and asked again, "By the way, Yuemin, many remittance slips have arrived one after another. How do you think we should divide the money?"

"How many?" Zhong Yuemin suddenly became excited. He knew that it was time to share the results. After all, there were too many favors and people involved.

"More than 50!" Liu Yansong couldn't believe it when he counted this number. It's only been more than half a year, and they have made so much money!

Although the number "50" is enough to cause a commotion to others, in Zhong Yuemin's heart, it is as calm as water.

It’s not that he is not interested in money, but that at this moment, he has already looked at wealth from a higher perspective.

Besides, Zhong Yuemin did not invest too much money in this teaching aid project, and the cost of the printing factory has not been included.

The printing factory is his fixed investment, and all long-term profits belong to Song Xiangjun. Even if Liu Yansong and others want to print something in the future, they have to pay according to the rules.

Zhong Yuemin pondered for a moment, then said, "First, give the money to the teachers who participated in the project. As long as they have helped, don't be stingy. Then treat everyone to a meal. There is still a long way to go, and what we want is long-term cooperation and reputation. We will slowly calculate the remaining money."

In fact, the partners of the teaching auxiliary company are only him, Liu Yansong, Zhu Jianguo, Yang Li, and Xie Min. They are all colleagues who know each other well, so Zhong Yuemin is not worried that the distribution issue will cause any conflicts.

After hearing this, Liu Yansong nodded in agreement. "Okay, let's do as you say. I'll make arrangements right away to get the teachers' money and thank you dinner in place."

"By the way, my share has been sold to Teacher Song. If you have any questions in the future, just discuss it among yourselves."

Hearing Zhong Yuemin's words, several people in the office were very surprised. They looked at each other, but did not speak and nodded in agreement.

Song Xiangjun really wanted to say something, but when she saw Zhong Yuemin's serious look, she had to give up.

On Sunday, a quiet morning on a rest day, Director Zhao of Jinqiu County's Beijing Office and Secretary Liu of Jinqiu County visited Zhong Yuemin's home again.

Just as Zhou Xiaobai expected, the two of them appeared at their door with big bags and smiles on their faces.

"Teacher Zhong, we have come to look for you several times, but you were not at home. Is District Chief Zhou at home today?" Director Zhao said as he and Secretary Liu placed the gifts in their hands by the door.

Zhong Yuemin greeted them with a smile. "My wife and I usually go to work early. I'm really sorry that you two leaders were disappointed. Please come in and have a seat inside."

Secretary Liu pointed to the gifts piled on the table and said, "Teacher Zhong, these are Jinqiu County specialties, and they taste very good. District Chief Zhou especially liked to eat these when he was in Jinqiu County. I think it might not be easy for him to buy them in Beijing, so he brought some here."

Zhong Yuemin casually glanced at the pile of large and small bags on the table. His eyes were first attracted by the cigarettes and alcohol, and then a rich aroma hit his nose - it was the smell of sausage, pickles and pickled garlic mixed together.

Zhong Yuemin thought to himself: Hey! These two are really generous this time! Thinking back to the last time they came to visit, they only brought two bottles of wine, two packs of cigarettes and a few bags of malt extract. In comparison, these gifts this time can be described as rich.

At the same time, with his keen insight, Zhong Yuemin quickly noticed that there was a clear difference between Director Zhao and Secretary Liu's visit this time and the last time.

The two men had sad looks on their faces, and even their spirits were completely different from last time, as if a heavy burden was pressing on their hearts, and the sadness between their brows was clearly visible.

Zhong Yuemin quickly stood up and enthusiastically poured steaming hot tea for the two of them, smiling and saying, "Oh, why do you two leaders have to spend so much money? I don't know what to do. Come, come, come, please have some tea, leaders!"

As he was speaking, Zhong Yuemin caught a glimpse of his lovely little daughter and son playing happily in the yard.

So Zhong Yuemin raised his voice and shouted to the two little guys, "Girl, son, go to the back and call your mother over!"

After hearing Zhong Yuemin's call, Xiao Shihua stopped what she was doing, raised her rosy little face, and responded obediently, "Okay, Dad!"

Then Xiao Shihua and Xiao Haichen jumped and ran towards the backyard.
