The main courses for this academic year include Ancient Literature History, Classical Chinese, Linguistics Overview, and English, along with elective courses such as Chinese Traditional Culture, Selected Readings, Aesthetic Principles, and Modern History Overview.
Some students choose to slack off as a form of revenge against their difficult high school lives, while Hu Ruoyun's efforts are aimed at avenging his own mediocrity and lack of achievement in the "foreseen future."
Working hard does not guarantee success, but not putting in the effort will certainly lead to failure. When he wasn't focused on making money, Hu Ruoyun devoted himself entirely to his studies. While learning about Chinese Traditional Culture, he elevated the Spring Festival customs from his rural hometown, marriage customs, funeral customs, and other traditions to a "cultural" level, writing a series of short articles. After receiving his submissions, Xiao Xue, an editor at Jiangcheng Cultural Newspaper, arranged to meet him and offered Hu Ruoyun a column titled "Little Hu."
After publishing several pieces in the column, it was unclear how much impact they had on the general public, but within the relevant circles in Jiangcheng, they received positive feedback. Unbeknownst to him, Hu Ruoyun seemed to have gained a bit of recognition in the fields of culture, literature, and journalism in the Provincial Capital.
Liu Ruoyan is a woman with exceptional execution skills. Shortly after the Spring Festival, she arranged for her subordinates to handle the paperwork for a computer training school and urged Hu Ruoyun to finalize arrangements with the school's teachers while also pushing Lai Wen to expedite the acquisition of second-hand computers from the most open city in the south.
Hu Ruoyun then went to Jiangcheng Evening News Agency to find Lai Wen's colleague sister Xiu. Together they went to the Provincial Academy of Agricultural Sciences' Melon and Vegetable Research Institute to meet sister Xiu's husband Lu Ming. They finally secured 50 acres of Golden Powder Beauty melon seeds. Lu Ming is the primary cultivator of this seed variety. In his forties and stuck at the associate researcher level without any prospects for advancement, he felt quite frustrated. Eventually, he resigned himself to focusing solely on breeding seeds.
Last year, he did not produce many seeds from this variety and was currently conducting large-scale planting experiments before widespread promotion. To gain his approval, Hu Ruoyun mentioned that Mao Weiguo was very interested and that a county mayor had endorsed it. This reassured Lu Ming, a dedicated researcher who agreed not only to provide seeds but also technical guidance for the large-scale promotion of this variety—an unexpected delight.
After returning to school, Hu Ruoyun called Mao Weiguo, who was pleased and instructed Secretary Feng of Laogu Township to ensure proper reception and support for the experts from the Provincial Academy of Agricultural Sciences.
Comrade Feng Decai has been full of vigor over the past two years; his impressive achievements have caught the attention of superiors who intend to transfer him to Chengguan Township as Secretary. However, he politely declined, expressing a desire for Lao Gu to improve further based on its current foundation.
This unambitious yet pragmatic approach has earned him praise from Secretary Li Gaoqiang and County Mayor Mao Weiguo. However, it is essential that achievements are recognized as part of our organizational principles. After research by the county government, it was decided that the former Secretary of Laogu Township would be reassigned while Comrade Feng Decai would be promoted from Town Chief to Secretary and oversee all work. This not only ensured continuity in Laogu Township's work but also addressed concerns about unrecognized contributions.
Former Deputy Mayor Hai Hong of Chengguan Town was reassigned as Town Chief of Laogu Township to work alongside Comrade Feng Decai. Comrade Feng Decai submitted a recommendation report suggesting that Chai Hongmin, Director of the Party Affairs Office in Laogu Township, had shown diligence in learning over the years and improved his overall quality; he recommended that the organization "add more responsibilities" for further consideration by the Organization Department.
Initially, when Zhao Manyin, Head of Hu Jia Zhuang Village, reported on the situation regarding the fragrant beauty melon to Township Head Feng (now Secretary Feng), he did not pay much attention; after all, fifty acres—no matter how profitable—would only have a limited impact on Laogu's economic development.
However, Director Chai Hongmin did not share this view. He discussed with Feng Decai how County Chief Mao had shown particular interest during their Lunar New Year Fourth visit when they sent Mao back to the county seat.
Gaoqiao Town's development is now not only outstanding in Annan but also ranks among the best in Ji Nan. The non-agricultural income in Laogu Township primarily comes from Niu Huahua. Given that Jiangbei Province is an agricultural powerhouse and Annan County focuses on agriculture as well, it is necessary for him to seize every opportunity and make new achievements in conjunction with land work.
He called Zhao Manyin back to Town Government for a detailed report. Upon learning that Hu Ruoyun had coordinated relationships for obtaining seeds, he felt more assured. Soon after came a personal phone call from the county mayor regarding this matter—this fueled his ambition.
Under one roof, everyone influences each other. In Room 513 of Male Dormitory No. 7 at Jiangbei University, even Zhao Jinpu, who loved playing cards most among them all, began studying diligently.
During the New Year holiday, Zhao Jinpu spoke with his father about their dorm mate Cui Shuigen's family situation. As a safety supervision officer, his father showed no signs of underestimating their circumstances; instead he earnestly advised him: "Son, everything else is illusory; only what you earn through your own efforts is real!"
This statement had a profound impact on Zhao Jinpu. Observing Cui Shuigen and others like Liu Jiawang and Hu Ruoyun working hard to change themselves made him realize that while he currently enjoyed his father's support now—what would happen five years later? Ten years? Twenty years?
Looking at Cui Shuigen's appearance when school first started and comparing it to his current state, it's clear that he has climbed up step by step through his own efforts. If this continues, by the time graduation arrives, he will have distanced himself from others. Even the older brother feels embarrassed about his past self; it’s a classic case of knowing shame and then striving for improvement.
Then we talked about Jie Bing. His father's words were even more direct: "He's just an immature greenhorn... but you can't blame him; his mother is only half-baked herself... If this kid doesn’t change, he will eventually face the harsh realities of society."
We also discussed the second child, Miao Shujie: "Your second brother's father is the kind who is low-key yet extravagant..." So far, Miao Shujie's background remains largely a mystery. He doesn’t study particularly hard, but he’s not completely indifferent to progress either.
We mentioned Hu Ruoyun: "I really can’t see through Third Sister. She’s young, but her actions exude maturity, steadiness, and shrewdness... Just for the fact that she unconditionally helps you guys, Cui Shuigen, she’s worth getting to know!"
"People say 'It takes a thousand years of cultivation to share a boat.' You’re lucky to be classmates and live in the same dorm for three years; it’s definitely something to cherish. As long as their character isn’t bad, don’t underestimate or look down on anyone... Your future paths are long; who knows which cloud might bring rain!"
Every day with something to do feels fulfilling.
Regarding the computer training school, Liu Ru Yan somehow managed to get a connection with Jiangbei University, turning the future computer training school into an internship base for university students from the Computer Science Department. Hu Ruoyun privately approached Teacher Shi Guoqiang from the computer lab and selected some top-performing students from the second and third years (first-year students generally lack skills, while fourth-year students are too busy looking for jobs). According to Liu Ru Yan's conditions—considering their own situations, specialties, and schedules—they would teach at Liu Education Investment Group's affiliated computer school for 20 yuan per class hour (the same standard as current teachers doing side gigs), with options for monthly or immediate payment.
Teacher Shi would serve as a consultant and only appear when needed; his salary would be calculated separately. The course requirements focused on practical operations and applications.
In this era, very few students can afford personal computers. The computer lab classes only meet two to four times a week. From both an income increase and practical experience perspective, most of the selected students would hardly refuse.
They found over thirty individuals and reached preliminary agreements. Next was just waiting for the computers sourced from the south to arrive.
Lai Wen's husband has good connections; within their Commerce Bureau's jurisdiction is a "Taobao City," specializing in second-hand IT equipment. Given his current job and position, he certainly wouldn’t get ripped off or receive subpar goods. The preliminary work has been mostly completed; now it’s just up to Lai Wen to proceed with the next steps.
