Capital, Tsinghua Garden

Before you know it, almost a month has passed since New Year's Day.

The Tsinghua Garden in front of me is still the same garden as before. The lotus in the pond has turned yellow and withered and is waiting for the next year. The statue of the great poet standing in the center remains the same as before.

But at this time, several months have passed, and it has been more than half a year since I recalled the initial conflict between Liang Sheng and Tsinghua University.

In the past six months, he has been punished and has never returned to school, or contacted the school to provide him with any help.

It is unimaginable for others to be suspended from school when he is about to graduate. It is really incredible to think about it.

As for the school, there were only people who heard that Liang Sheng from the Department of Mathematics had suspended his studies strangely and disappeared from the school, but no one knew exactly where he had been for the past seven months.

It has almost become a mystery about where he has been for so long.

Not only the professors and teachers on the school side couldn't tell clearly, and they couldn't find others, even those who knew him in the school in the past didn't know where he went alone after leaving Tsinghua University this morning.

Many people wondered where a poor boy with no background like him would go.

After all, before he dropped out of school for no reason, he was also a top-notch genius in the mathematics department, a winner of the national gold medal competition for ten consecutive years, and he tried to publish a paper during his undergraduate studies.

Not only Tsinghua University, but the neighboring schools of Peking University and Beijing Science and Technology University have also waited to say that once they have the opportunity, they can find a way to absorb such a good seed.

But right now, he disappeared from the world for no apparent reason, and he will be gone for another eight months.

Not only the teachers and classmates who used to get along with him day and night, who knew his personality and character, wanted to know his recent situation, even the Tsinghua University, who punished him in order to take care of the impact of the incident, was a little anxious.

The gang secretly started to get anxious, mainly academician Gan and the others who personally took the initiative to issue the punishment.

This is because the school's opening defense is imminent. Even though Liang Sheng was thinking of punishing Liang Sheng for his wrongdoing at the beginning, professors like Academician Gan didn't really want to deprive him of the right to participate in the graduation defense and obtain a legitimate degree.

The second is that after he received the punishment and left, the conflict between the Tsinghua teaching office and the courtyard did not subside. Even after the New Year's Day, several extremely bad incidents occurred one after another. .

It turned out that on the eve of the Spring Festival, major colleges and universities in the capital began to arrange for new and old students to adjust their dormitories one after another. After a whole winter of delays, the heating problem finally began to proceed normally.

Because it is located in the north, Tsinghua University has always had heating and hot water in previous years, and the conditions in all aspects are good among schools in the capital.

But just this year, when it was time to start heating in the urban area, several incidents suddenly happened one after another.

These things can only be regarded as logistical flaws in the usual way, but the strange thing is that not only did they all come together at this time this year.

Among them, the first one, which triggered all the incidents, was a seemingly inconspicuous student who went out to surf the Internet in the middle of the night.

This is at the end of the semester, and there are always students who go out to play black games in the middle of the night. This kind of game is rare in Tsinghua University, but it is naturally typical to catch one or two once in a while.

But who would have thought that this time the two were caught by the security guards with a lot of cash on them strangely.

I don't know where the money was obtained, but it was wrapped up tightly by these two students with newspapers. After careful investigation, the school found that these two students who seemed to be from ordinary families were actually two and a half years ago. It was reported because of the fraud incident.

It has to be said that behind this seemingly insignificant matter is really strange, and it involves a large amount of finances. The school has filed a case for this, thinking that it will be investigated after New Year's Day.

But at this time, another incident related to a new building in the school caused a commotion in the school for no reason.

Speaking carefully, this building was just started in the second half of the year. At that time, it was the outsourcing investment brought by the teaching staff to the school. It is said that there was also help from the capital city municipal government.

At the beginning of its construction, other colleges really envied the group of seniors who were able to move in first.

As a result, the New Year's Day hadn't passed yet, and it was seven or eight degrees below zero, and there was no electricity in the building overnight.

The group of students in the Department of Electrical Engineering, headed by the senior Jia Sikai, heard that they could not stand the cold at night, so they simply took the initiative to dismantle the electrical boxes in the building to repair it, only to find that the initial structure of the entire building was not correct, and the water pipes Both the house and the electrical box were frozen, and another piece was reported to the yard.

What's even more bizarre is that the outsourced construction company didn't know whether it was to shorten the construction period or save material costs, but deliberately failed to install the heating facilities commonly found in northern cities according to the initial drawings.

Academician Gan made a big fuss in the courtyard for this.

Because the construction of the laboratory building was originally suggested to him by the faculty office, saying that next year the seniors are busy graduating, and it is always a good thing to have a new building. At that time, he ran around because of this, but bumped into a lot in the enterprise. wall.

And if at the beginning he didn't understand why people would politely refuse, or even persuaded him to come back and see the situation and not go his own way, then now his palms are cold, and his chest is full of anger, but Academician Gan seems to understand everything. up.

"Investigate, after the New Year's Day, when everyone is back, I will start to investigate immediately! I must check everything inside and out. How could such a thing happen from the inside of our school... This is what has made the past century. Your reputation...will be ashamed!"

This sentence, accompanied by the start of winter heating, can be regarded as a vigorous start of a major personnel transfer on the Tsinghua campus after New Year's Day.

Not only logistics, academic management and other external staff who are not involved in teaching, even outsourced cafeteria owners and the like are all recruited by the school to clean up the situation of the previous teaching staff.

As a system that resembles a small society, various personnel and communication relationships in the university have always been intertwined. The current investigation naturally involved many complicated and intertwined relationships.

But what academician Gan never expected was that if the problem of this new building was just a fuse, then the problems that followed were truly jaw-dropping.

It turned out that several teachers who were in charge of accounts in the Teaching Office had left their jobs more than half a year ago.

Now the important posts are some distant relatives of Mr. Wang's family in Chuli, but these personnel personnel are not there during the big holiday, and the school calls home to find others, but they are still on the mahjong table.

Let's find Teacher Wang himself. Teacher Wang is not there. I heard that he took his wife and sister-in-law to Sanya for vacation, and he hasn't come back yet.

But at this time, the two students who went out to surf the Internet in the middle of the night a few days ago also came up with results. The police helped to summarize the specific details in two sentences.

First, the two students have already cried and explained everything clearly; second, there is something hidden about the fraud case involving mathematics student Liang Sheng half a year ago, because someone in the society instructed the teaching staff to find these two students to do so of.

As soon as I heard about this, the school, who had been kept in the dark for almost half a year, was so angry that my mind was almost blurred.

Because the punishment of Liang Sheng was unanimously decided by the school at the beginning, and now it has been so long before they say there is something hidden, but they can't even find the students. I personally went to the Education Bureau and came to check the accounts.

And the special person didn't know if he didn't check after he came down. After checking, he turned the matter from a small snowball into a big snowball, and even burned all the way to the unclear sponsorship that the teaching staff had personally drawn.

It turned out that behind this generous sponsorship, a director surnamed Kuang who had been well-connected in the municipal department for many years stood behind him.

I heard that the reason why he took the sponsorship from Tsinghua University is because his only son is now talking to a female student from Tsinghua Academy of Fine Arts, and this sponsorship was provided by the municipal government. It was negotiated.

The original agreement between the two parties was that a total of 200 million teaching investment would be allocated from above, and Mr. Wang would get three, Mr. Kuang and his father would get six.

On the outside, Mr. Kuang came forward to ask Mr. Wang to help pay the bill, and by the way, he also gave face to his beautiful girlfriend from Tsinghua University, so that the teaching staff who took advantage of it could help him teach a lesson to that brat who offended him.

As for the remaining [-]% who wandered around, after going through all kinds of difficulties and dangers, they finally got to Academician Gan's place, and built the completely scrapped building next to the campus now.

Academician Gan didn't know anything about it during the process, and he said that the teaching and administrative office solved the urgent need of the school, but he didn't expect to fall into the trap of this group of people.

Afterwards, when the Education Bureau and Disciplinary Inspection personally collected the evidence and came to the door because of this matter.

Director Kuang was still in the office talking about the New Year's Day holiday. When he heard that it was related to the issue of integrity, he seemed unhurried. He just said in a grand manner that he would go back to the bureau to meet their leaders and contact them for any misunderstandings. .

But in the end, this trip left. The director who was cheated by his own son didn't come out of the bureau until after the festival. I heard that he once asked to call the old leader's children, but was rejected.

As a result, on the 15th, instead of finding a way to get him out of the relationship, he accidentally answered a call from a nursing home in Hong Kong.

It was vaguely an old man on the phone, and the leader Kuang turned pale with fright when he heard the voice. He was so calm and relaxed all day in the detention center that he didn't see a trace of fear before shaking suddenly.

He is not that courageous, and he never dares to be so presumptuous.

Even if the other party has no real power and can only retire in that place, this old man is still not something anyone can afford.

Seeing that he didn't dare to say anything, the old man on the phone didn't break the silence. It took a long time before he was very calm, or he said on the phone without too much emotion,

"Xiao Kuang, do you still remember what you said to me before you entered the office many years ago? You said that your parents were born in a small shop, and you are the son of a small shop, so you have seen everything. Playing Shuanghuang came to the door and said that you want to wholesale fireworks, but then you were cheated of 1000 yuan and more than a dozen bottles of liquor. You know the disadvantages of greed best, so you will definitely be able to survive within the system. I asked my children to help You are also because of this, but I didn't expect... you still couldn't stand it in the end. "

Director Kuang's heart sank after saying these words. He has done too many things in this position at a young age, and he has long forgotten the promise he made to the old leader when he was young.

And as expected, three days later, the results of the emergency treatment from above came down.

The hat on Director Kuang's head was taken off first, and his son Kuang Jiewei and the teaching staff were involved in bribery, money laundering, and corruption with social people.

The small snowball at Tsinghua University, which was triggered by a fraud incident, has rolled all the way here, and it has completely turned into a big snowball that concerns the style of the municipal government for many years.

There were nearly a dozen people involved, except for the three students from the school who were not directly involved in the bribery case, namely the two students who participated in the fraud and Chen, a girl from the Academy of Fine Arts who attracted revenge from her boyfriend because of personal jealousy. They were all sent to the inspection agency.

Now that the matter has come to an end, Tsinghua University is most concerned about where Liang Sheng, who was the direct victim in the first place, is now the cause of this series of subsequent incidents.

For a while, everyone in the department and the courtyard was looking for Liang Sheng.

Everyone wants to know where such a poor boy who has suffered an injustice and almost ruined his bright future has gone alone in the past six months, and how he is doing now.

But at this moment, a shocking piece of news suddenly appeared in the capital's academia—at the same time... the Liang Sheng that everyone had been looking for overnight unexpectedly returned just like that.

……

Liang Sheng, who had been away from the capital for more than half a year, finally reappeared.

It has to be said that this is really big news that no one expected.

In the month before this, several main persons involved in the fraud incident who framed him had been punished one by one. The school generally handled this matter very cleanly. No flaws were left.

Ordinary students certainly have objections to the school's initial handling of the incident.

But in the past half a year, including the Department of Electronics, the Department of Mathematics, the Department of Physics, and the professors and classmates who are familiar with Liang Sheng have been working hard for him. They have never believed a word of those slanderers. , challenging authority.

In addition to where Liang Shengren is and how to get him back properly, the school is quite clear about the bad debts committed half a year ago.

And at this moment, outside of Tsinghua University, or in other words, in the academic circles of the capital, a piece of news that has a major connection with the scientific research and academic circles across the country began to spread on TV and newspapers one after another.

First, on January 1, there was news that a heavy military ship that had been conducting secret tests in the military port at the junction of the East China Sea and the Yellow Sea finally successfully completed the water entry test after New Year's Day.

The expert team used in the early stage alone has more than 100 new technologies. Now that the experiment is successful, the word "Dragon Palace" not only resounds in the scientific research circle, but also attracts domestic and foreign media to flock to Xiaoshan to compete for it. reports.

The CCTV, which was the first to arrive at the local area, used a drone to take some shots of the water entering the sea, and sent it back to the Capital TV station for rebroadcasting.

For a while, the news of the official launch of the "Dragon Palace" in Hangzhou Port spread throughout the country. Reporters from "Capital Daily", "Beijing News", and "Military Weekly" used the front page headlines to interview this event.

These interviews have spread throughout the capital Tianjin and Guangzhou, which can be regarded as a great event for the whole country to celebrate. Compared with the aerospace industry, the vigorous development of my country's navigation industry in recent years has achieved such impressive results, which naturally attracts attention.

The mainstream newspapers and periodicals not only wrote about the predecessor and various experiences of this military ship, but also inadvertently brought some details of the research and development behind the scenes through the people stationed here.

At this moment, a young, unfamiliar, or somewhat eye-catching name in the list of mostly elderly researchers also appeared in it.

Liang Sheng.

A student in the Applied Mathematics Department of Tsinghua University in 08, one of the outstanding technical contributors to the "Dragon Palace Project" of Hangzhou Port.

But a full-fledged undergraduate student who just graduated this summer?He was unexpectedly and fortunately involved in such a big national project, where is he from?How did you do it?

These countless questions that filled my mind aroused the curiosity of all walks of life, including the authoritative academic circle. It was also at this time that Liang Sheng, as a young student of Tsinghua University, was lucky enough to participate in this national project. The news spread through the news media.

Regarding the fact that he was accidentally admitted by the Ministry of the Navy with an exam during his internship in Zhoushan, about the more than 100 large-scale calculations he participated in the "Dragon Palace" water entry experiment, as well as various past competition experiences and family conditions. people find out.

It was only then that someone discovered that this ordinary student who seemed to be humble and low-key in school for three years was actually the younger brother of a famous industrialist in China and the founder of a light industry giant with the surname Liang. All of this was also shocked The Tsinghua campus who was once unaware of this matter.

"Liang Sheng... Is Liang Feilong's younger brother? The two of them, yes, are brothers... But Liang Sheng, why, how could he be his younger brother? If his biological brother is Liang Feilong?! How could he say that the three people before him Years...after that, he ran to Zhoushan alone...I'll go, so he's too awesome!"

These speeches that frightened the classmates who lived in Manyuanzi and this industrialist generation, authentic Gao Fushuai, who had eaten in a cafeteria and showered in a bathhouse, obviously reflected that most of the students who had been with him in Tsinghua University The voices of teachers and classmates who have had contact.

Such a poor boy who was once thought by everyone, actually finally relied on his own strength and excellence to prove that innate conditions are not enough to change everything. This has to make people leave everything in him and feel admiration from the bottom of their hearts. .

And at this juncture, before the Spring Festival holiday, Tsinghua Park's first public opening and defense meeting came on time, and the man who had been hotly discussed for almost half a month——Liang Sheng was also on schedule under the common attention of everyone. Back to school.

On the day he went back to school, he took the school bus and came back after a long journey.

When he left, he brought a thermos bottle, a luggage bag and two pieces of clothes. This time he returned to school all the way from Zhoushan. I don't seem to have much clothes and luggage.

The eight months that Hangzhou Port was completely closed did not seem to have changed much of what was already in him.

Except that his physique seemed to be tougher because of the collective life in the military base, he was taller and thinner, but the handsome, indifferent, humble and strong academic atmosphere was still perfectly preserved on this person.

Besides the teacher who brought him to pick him up at the school gate, there were also the remaining three people from dormitory 3099 who had been specifically disclosed by Professor Yao and his wife about his return.

I just want to say that before the bus slowly stopped, these three brothers who skipped class today and wanted to come together to pick up their third son still had a sense of tension that they were about to face a new face of their good brothers.

Then I watched the young man in my impression slowly carry his stupid bag and old computer on his back, and came down with that cracked thermos bottle, and stopped when he saw them at the back school gate, The eye sockets of these three live treasures turned red immediately.

"Damn! Third! Third! Liang Sheng! Here it is!"

"..."

This collective shout among the big boys completely evoked the uneasiness, longing, guilt and countless unknown friendships in their hearts because of the changes during this period of time before they met.

Going all the way back to school, Liang Sheng, who participated in the opening defense for the first time, did not expect that they would wait here to pick him up, and the emotions buried in his heart were aroused for a while.

He seemed to want to say something, but he, who was always not good at words, could not think of anything special enough to break the silence except for being dry in the same place, so he put down his things for a long time and nodded again.

"Ah."

And in the next second, seeing him as a nerd and starting to react a little slower by nature, the hug that had already run up automatically rushed towards him, and immediately after that, only one of the gang had stayed in the dormitory before, so they had such feelings The boys collectively wailed,

"...Uh, what, uh, you idiot! I've been waiting for you for so many days, and you're back! We really miss you! Third! You're fucking back!"

On this day, all the dormitory 3099, Zhuang Yao, Jia Sikai, Liang Sheng, Yong Jie, these four names finally got together again, on this Tsinghua campus.

The small rice cooker that Jia Sikai hid under the bed came in handy again. The senior brothers in the Department of Electrical Engineering, headed by Senior Brother Wang, gave him the last half box of rice cookers before they graduated. The dinner in the room also enhanced a lot because of this.

Beer, facelifts, hot pot with quick-frozen dumplings—the last half year of the university campus, which is about to attract official graduation, seems to be so simple and wonderful.

Everyone now knows what Liang Sheng has been doing in Zhoushan for the past six months.

What kind of remarkable achievements he has achieved by relying on his own efforts, and who is his younger brother, but these are so insignificant in front of the reunion among their brothers and classmates.

Whose younger brother is named Liang Sheng? It doesn't really matter whether he is a poor boy or really rich. The important thing is that their youngest has cleared up his grievances and returned in an upright manner. There is nothing more worthy of celebration in front of him. thing.

But it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter who he is.

It is inevitable that all kinds of gossip about the name Liang Feilong, how much money Liang Feilong has, and why Liang Feilong is so rich and why he is so poor were mentioned in 3099 of this night.

And it seems to be back to last summer again.The scene of the dormitory symposium when he was broken up for the first time.

In the middle of the night, Liang Caizi, who was facing a series of gossip questions from the other three like curious babies, lying on the bed with his hands on his arms and eyes closed, and who had to get up on time tomorrow to participate in the opening defense, also frowned a little helplessly.

"There are no more than a dozen courtyard houses, hundreds of companies, and no superpowers. He is just an ordinary person. He eats and sleeps the same as us every day."

"Ah? Ordinary people? But your brother is so good, but... the famous Liang Feilong, he can't be like us small people, right? Third, don't you like to be modest and force your brother and you Let's keep a low profile..."

"Yes! I also think that the third brother is my idol in life! I don't believe it, the founder of Longjiang Feiteng is the same as us young people, he must be a senior who has experienced vicissitudes of life and the ups and downs of the mall. , but no wonder, you were so proficient in opening your mouth before, the feeling is your brother, you still pretend to be stupid and polite with us! We won’t let your brother find a job for us! You can’t even ask for a business card, you brat ..."

"I don't have his business card either. He never brings a business card when he goes out."

Hearing their enthusiasm, Liang Sheng had to interrupt in the lower berth.

"Hey, what does he usually bring with him when he goes out?"

"...A few years ago when I went out to do business, I was reluctant to spend my own money to bring mustard. In the past two years, people often invited him to dinner, and he didn't even bring any money."

Recalling the last time I met the other party before leaving Zhoushan, I don't know why I remembered the scene of looking at the other party's back on the beach.

There was a strange movement in his heart, Liang Sheng, who seemed to be tainted with a strange emotion, was silent for a while, and for a long time he suppressed the weirdness and answered calmly and truthfully.

"...Are you talking about the iron cock or your brother, student Liang Sheng, do you think all of us will believe your words that slander our big brother Liang!"

"Oh, it's okay, just listen to his nonsense, anyway, we have successfully kidnapped Liang Liang, next time if he deliberately pretends to be stupid with us, we will expose the stupid things he did when he was in college, for example, our Liang Talented people even talked in their sleep in the middle of the night, for example, Liang Liang has never even kissed a girl's mouth until now..."

"Hey! You two are enough, that's enough, Liang Sheng just came back, enough is enough, and don't talk about which pot is not open... and there is still a question and answer tomorrow...

Zhuang Yao, Jia Sikai, Yong Jie, and the others were laughing and joking, and the fight lasted until late at night after the power was cut off.

The next day, that is, in the early morning of February 2th, Tsinghua’s first graduation thesis defense time officially began.

This was the first thing Liang Sheng had to do after returning to school, and it was related to the graduation thesis that he had accumulated for more than half a year.

Compared with the many incidents of being framed and wronged by others before, from the beginning to the end, the reason why he insisted on coming back was largely because he wanted to complete his most important studies in the past four years.

In this opening defense, he officially presented his four-year undergraduate thesis results to the teachers and professors of the school.

And after such a long time, seeing this most outstanding student in the Department of Mathematics as confident as if he had been reborn, walking steadily up to the top of the podium step by step, for a while, even Academician Gan, who once thought he was too dull and dull he came.

Liang Sheng was still the same Liang Sheng.

But it seems that he is no longer the dull, mediocre student trapped in the ivory tower, but has become another individual with a different kind of brilliance.

"Before going to bed last night, I suddenly had a great idea."

"Start tomorrow by being brave, confident and proud of yourself."

"The first step to realize your ideal is not to cry when you fall down, and learn to stand up from the ground alone even if it hurts."

"At this moment, I overcame the pain, and I began to become a person who is proud of myself."

"The second step to realize your ideal is not to be complacent when you get the results. Even if you are proud, you should look at the others who stand shoulder to shoulder with you."

"At this moment, I overcame my ego, and I started to become a truly confident person."

"The third step to realize the ideal is to not stop when you get the honor. Even if you are tired, you have to see if there are more scenery ahead."

"At this moment, I defeated life, and I began to become a truly brave person."

This is before all the students started their defense, two juniors from the host team, one male and one female, came to the stage to recite a poem. The conspicuous red silk cloth was hung on the large and bright auditorium. Every student who is about to graduate from Tsinghua University They will all embark on another stage of life.

What is written in this poem is the devotion and love for professional academics that this century-old prestigious school has carried forward, and the training and shaping of the students' character. For a group of Tsinghua students like Liang Sheng, the future is The pillars of the country, the hope of the country.

And it's a coincidence, because today's open question defense is open to all teachers and students in the school.

Liang Sheng's opening defense, which inevitably made a big splash in front of everyone, also fell into the eyes of the teachers and students of the Academy of Fine Arts who also came to the auditorium to watch the ceremony today.

On the stage, the boy finally broke the shackles of life and dreams, and embarked on a new path.

Under the stage, in a place that no one knew, a girl in a white dress suddenly buried her head in the crowd and began to cry uncontrollably.

No one knew why she was crying, let alone what she had given up and lost because of it.

And in the end, when the girl finally couldn't help crying in the toilet alone, the familiar school song of Tsinghua University with a century of history and a familiar old song happened to come from the auditorium outside.

"That day, at dusk, white snow began to fall...Sorrow, full of hills, when youth is gone...Midnight movie, full of old love, in the dark, a young man sings, let's go, see the red morning glow ...Bring, my love song, you sing in the wind..."

Her heart no longer had so much pride surging enough to support her will in life, only the love song in her ears and the tears lying down on her face remained in her eyes.

It turned out that what she missed was never her first love, not a dispensable love that was discarded in her youth.

... It is the most unattainable thing in her life, and it is the dream life I dream of.
