Literary Heroes of the Republic of China

A few days later, Mu Changyu's grade skipping exam results came out. She didn't do well in the exam, but she passed anyway. She will be able to go to the fifth grade next semester.

"Changyu, don't skip a grade in the future, and study steadily." Mu Qiong said: "If you have free time, you can learn something else."

Most of the scholars at this time were multi-talented, and many of them were good at playing piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Mu Qiong felt that Mu Changyu could also learn something.

Mu Changyu agreed.

In fact, she also felt that it was not good to continue skipping grades. She barely passed the grade skipping exam this time, and in the next year, she had to make up for the fourth grade courses.

When Mu Changyu and the others were taking the entrance examination, a group of students from Ping An Middle School also graduated.

At that time, middle school was not divided into junior high school and high school. There was a total of four years of study, and after four years of study, one could obtain a high school diploma.

Now each university recruits students independently, they make their own questions and organize their own exams.And those students who want to take the exam can go to that university to take the exam by themselves. If they fail to pass the exam this year, they can continue to take the exam next year, which is very free.

Of course, there are quite a lot of shady scenes. If the family is powerful and powerful, even if the exam is a mess, you can still go to the best university.

In fact, with Mu Yongxue's identity, even if the original owner didn't pass the exam, he could still study in the preparatory class of Peking University, but he didn't like the original owner, so he was unwilling to spend his time for the original owner.

Of course, this is nothing, but he did not send the original owner to middle school and threw the original owner into elementary school, which is a bit too much, and he is obviously humiliating his son.

The vast majority of students in Ping'an Middle School stopped studying after receiving their high school diplomas and started looking for jobs. Among them, many of them were recruited by Huo Ershao.

Huo Ershao opened several small family workshops... No, the factory is very short of people right now.

Because Huo Ershao recruited a lot of students he had taught, Mu Qiong went to Huo Ershao's factory again, and then found that it is very lively here, and many businessmen from all over the world are waving their money for money. Get the goods from Huo Ershao.

Because the western countries are at war, there are fewer and fewer imported goods, so the products of Huo Ershao's here are particularly popular.

It was also when I went to Huo Ershao's factory this time that Mu Qiong knew that Huo Ershao wanted to produce all kinds of machines independently besides buying machines from abroad to produce various products. , were all sent by him to study machines.

Huo Ershao and Huo Sanshao are really forward-looking.

Mu Qiong had a better impression of the third young master Huo who communicated with him.

Of course, no matter how good the impression is, it will not prevent him from "educating" that Third Young Master Huo.

This time when he came to Huo Ershao's factory, Mu Qiong had to pay attention to Song Yanqiu again, but Song Yanqiu was no longer at the factory, but his mother and younger siblings were now cooking for the workers in the factory.

Mu Qiong learned the detailed situation from the mouth of the steward.

Huo Ershao valued Song Yanqiu very much, and handed him over to a supervisor under him to train him. In order to see Song Yanqiu's skills, the supervisor asked Song Yanqiu to bring someone back to Lu County to give money to the workers.

To go back to Lu County, you have to take the train, and there are still many things to arrange for eating and sleeping on the way. If other workers from Lu County do this job, they will definitely not be able to do anything, and they may even dare not do it at all. Song Yanqiu was different.

Song Yanqiu was bold and careful, he really did it, and brought his people back to Lu County.

As a result, as soon as he returned, he learned that the money and food he had come out to work in exchange for had been snatched away by his uncle's family, and his mother and younger siblings were already dying of hunger, and they ate grass roots and bark for support.

They don't even live in their old places anymore, they are forced to live in ruined temples.

Fortunately, Song Yanqiu went back.

If it was someone else who went back, that person might not be able to hand over the money Song Yanqiu brought back to his mother. Even if he gave the money to Song Yanqiu's mother, Song Yanqiu's mother might not be able to keep the money.

But Song Yanqiu went back, and he brought four soldiers with him!

He directly brought his mother and younger siblings to Shanghai, and then found jobs for them in the factory - there is always a shortage of people here, his mother can help with cooking, and his younger siblings can also help with some work Work, and study here by the way.

"This kid is capable. In my opinion, he will be able to live a good life." The person in charge said.

Mu Qiong nodded in agreement, he was quite satisfied with the current situation.

It is estimated that Song Yanqiu's family will continue to work for Huo Ershao in the future, and he will definitely not become that frightening bandit again.

Mu Qiong didn't see Huo Ershao this time, and when he came back from the factory, the new issue of the Educational Monthly was published.

The educational monthly is very popular, and there are many things to be busy with. For a few days, Mu Qiong didn't have time to write. As a result, when he was busy, Sheng Chaohui came here very late every day and left early.

When the Education Monthly was first launched, because Mu Qiong had no connections and was very busy, Sheng Chaohui was responsible for all kinds of things. At that time, Sheng Chaohui was really tired... Now the Education Monthly is on the right track. Although there are many things, at least It's no longer chaotic. At this time, he should be more busy and let Sheng Chaohui have more free time.

Mu Qiong didn't care about the fact that he did more things, but he hated Sheng Chaohui a little bit.

Sheng Chaohui said nicely that day, saying that he just went to a brothel to see him, but in fact... he was fascinated by the Huaguo Prime Minister who he thought was very good-looking.

Sheng Chaohui’s family education is very strict. He didn’t have time to play around when he was studying. After graduation, he worked as a teacher in Ping’an Middle School, and at the same time he had to run the education weekly newspaper that had been losing money at the time. It's okay to play, or go to see a movie and invite people to eat, but places like brothels are definitely not affordable.

But he is rich now, not only that, as the editor-in-chief of Education Monthly and the young master of the Sheng family, there are many people fawning on him.

When he was a teacher in Ping'an Middle School, he was okay. Even if others invited him to play, he might not be free to go, but when he resigned, the situation would be different.

In the beginning, he might just go to the brothel to watch the excitement, but he went there a few times, and when he was flattered by the women there, he jumped in headfirst.

Sheng Chaohui, who had never experienced anything before, and didn't even have a wife, would be fascinated by others, it was really normal.

He didn't hide this matter from Mu Qiong, but after Mu Qiong persuaded him a few times, he didn't want to tell Mu Qiong any more.

And Mu Qiong felt a little helpless about this situation.

If he blindly tried to persuade Sheng Chaohui, it would only annoy Sheng Chaohui. Don't try to persuade him, he really felt that Sheng Chaohui's behavior... would deceive him.

Most of the brothel women in Shanghai were hard-working women who were trafficked from various places. By the late Republic of China, there were even tens of thousands of these women.

Most of them did not sell themselves voluntarily. In the original history, most of them became factory workers after the founding of the People's Republic of China, and some went to Xinjiang and other places to become military wives. With the help of the government, they can be regarded as a fresh start.

Mu Qiong sympathized with these women.But he also knows one thing, that is, the group of these women who have really achieved the top, whether it is appearance or emotional intelligence, are beyond the reach of ordinary people, and it is basically impossible to get out of the mud without being stained. A simple big man like Sheng Chaohui Young master, he is fully capable of playing with people in his palm.

Of course, this was also voluntary by Sheng Chaohui, and it would be fine if he suffered a loss.

Although Mu Qiong was worried, he had no position to take care of it after all, so he put the matter down in the end.

But he never expected that Sheng Chaohui would be able to trap himself like this!

Mu Qiong was very busy when the Educational Monthly was launched, but after a while, he was free.

This morning, he came to the editorial office of Education Monthly early as usual, and was about to write the end of "Contagion", when an editor downstairs hurried upstairs: "Mr. Mu, the father of editor-in-chief Sheng is here!"

"What's wrong with Mr. Sheng?" Mu Qiong put down his pen and put away his things.

"I don't know either." The editor said, "He seems to be in a hurry."

Mu Qiong hurried downstairs when he heard the words, and saw a middle-aged man in his 50s and [-]s sitting in the living room of the editorial department.

He was no stranger to this person. He had seen this person before when he and Sheng Chaohui held a banquet in a restaurant. It was Sheng Chaohui's father.

"Hello, Uncle, are you here to look for Zhao Hui? He hasn't come yet." Mu Qiong said.It was just past seven o'clock in the morning, and Sheng Chaohui probably wouldn't come over until noon.

"I'm not here to look for Zhaohui, I'm here to look for you." Father Sheng said, "I want to ask you to do me a favor."

Mu Qiong was a little surprised, and Sheng's father said again: "You go out with me, and we will find Zhaohui together."

Father Sheng's expression was serious, Mu Qiong's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately agreed.

A carriage was prepared outside the door, and Mu Qiong followed Father Sheng up, only to find that the carriage was many times more luxurious than the one he rented back then.

But he wasn't in the mood to pay attention, he just asked, "Where is Zhaohui? What happened?"

Father Sheng's expression was ugly: "Mr. Mu, you are Zhao Hui's friend, so I will not hide it from you... Zhao Hui smoked opium."

Mu Qiong was taken aback.

Father Sheng continued: "He hasn't come home lately, he sleeps in the brothel every day, so I asked someone to watch him, and I saw that he bought opium. Besides, he doesn't look quite right..."

Father Sheng went to inquire specifically, and learned that in order to control the top names in the yard, those brothels would let them smoke opium and so on. In this way, these women are willing to do anything in order to make money.

And they usually have fun with others, and they have to smoke opium.

At this time, there were far more addicts in Shanghai than Mu Qiong thought when he first came here. Even many famous people at this time were smoking opium, and they didn't think it was a problem to do so.

With Sheng Chaohui's personality, it's not surprising that he wants to try it.

Mu Qiong's heart suddenly sank.

At this time, the carriage had already stopped at the door of a brothel.
