1979: Literary Master, Starting from the Return of Educated Youth

Chapter 94: Living off Lin Qingxia and being Zhu Chen’s benefactor

“It’s very convenient for me to go everywhere.”

Seeing that he didn't say anything, Lin Qingxia explained, "If you are willing to stay, I will ask the Filipino maid to clean the house now."

"Don't bother, just arrange a room for me."

Xu Yuexin said politely, "I think every room here is pretty good."

Of course, Lin Qingxia would not make any arrangements casually.

She asked the Filipino maid to clean the room next to her bedroom. After cleaning, she went up to check it again. After making sure it was completely clean, she invited Xu Yuexin to move in.

This is a very spacious bedroom, which looks like it is no more than 20 square meters, and it has its own bathroom and dressing room.

Central air conditioning, fresh air systems, and many home appliances that only became popular in later generations are all available here.

The decoration is even more magnificent, and the fresh and elegant style really reflects the taste.

“This room has a view of the mountains and the river, and it makes you feel very open-minded when you wake up in the morning.”

Lin Qingxia pointed outside the window and introduced to Xu Yuexin, "Besides, there are no houses across the street. You can open the window at night. The wind will be very comfortable."

Xu Yuexin raised his lips slightly after hearing this: "Okay, I'll knock on the wall to call you when I want to talk to someone tonight."

"Okay, provided I wake up."

Lin Qingxia said with a bright smile.

That night, Xu Yuexin opened the window as Lin Qingxia had instructed, leaving only a layer of screen screen open for sleeping, and found it was indeed very comfortable.

The breeze is cool, the Milky Way is romantic, and the world is silent.

Xu Yuexin slept on a big Simmons bed and felt indescribably comfortable all over.

In the world of rich people, sleeping is more comfortable than that of ordinary people.

Make money, make money, make money!

Xu Yuexin shouted in his heart.

He went to bed early that night.

Accordingly, I wake up early.

When Xu Yuexin opened his eyes, he saw that it was still pitch black outside the window, with only a few stars visible.

Some light came through the crack in the door.

Xu Yuexin pushed open the door and walked into the living room, where he saw Lin Qingxia holding a wine glass and wearing lace pajamas, sitting on the sofa watching TV.

The pajamas could not cover much, but a large area of ​​white was revealed on Lin Qingxia's chest, her smooth thighs were also exposed, and her delicate body was faintly visible under the pajamas.

"Mr. Xu, you can't sleep either?"

The beautiful scenery was fleeting. Lin Qingxia stood up from the sofa, raised her red wine glass and walked towards Xu Yuexin.

"No, it's because the quality of my sleep is too good."

Xu Yuexin and Lin Qingxia asked, "Do you have any wine glasses?"

"In the wine cabinet. I'll get it for you."

Lin Qingxia put down her wine glass, went to the entrance, opened the wine cabinet, took out a tall wine glass and poured it for Xu Yuexin.

"Gurgling..."

The red wine bubbled up and slowly rose until Lin Qingxia stopped pouring and took away the bottle.

"Let's drink on the balcony."

Xu Yuexin suggested.

"it is good."

They walked towards the balcony together and leaned against the window frame.

“The stars in the sky are so beautiful.”

Lin Qingxia took a sip of red wine and looked up at the sky.

"Yes, the view from the mountain is better."

Xu Yuexin said, "I see your house has two balconies. You should be able to see Central from the other side?"

“Well, you can overlook the entire Central.”

Speaking of this, Lin Qingxia was somewhat proud, "My house has the best view in the entire Fei'e Mountain."

Hong Kong is a big city, and it is not easy to find a place to live. Many movie stars live in small houses after becoming famous. Lin Qingxia's living conditions are among the best in the industry, whether compared with ordinary people or in the industry.

She is also quite proud of this.

“A BMW is for a hero, and a mansion is for a beauty.”

Xu Yuexin looked into Lin Qingxia's beautiful eyes and said, "If you can live here, I'm sure you won't have any troubles."

"Mr. Xu is very good at talking."

Lin Qingxia couldn't help but laugh, "Actually, no matter where you live, you'll have anxiety."

"Oh? Your career is going so smoothly, but you still have worries?"

"Of course. Prices in Hong Kong are rising very fast now. Although I have made some money, it is annoying to see my savings depreciate every day."

"That's right. It's a headache to see your money being eaten up by inflation, and you keep thinking about how to avoid it."

"Well, I think about it every night."

Lin Qingxia twirled her goblet and said thoughtfully, "By the way, Mr. Xu, since you dare to buy silver, you must have done a lot of research on investment, right?"

"Understood."

"If you put it that way, then you must understand it very well."

Lin Qingxia smiled and looked at Xu Yuexin and said, "Can you recommend me some long-term investment products that you are interested in?"

Long-term investment? Then you must buy American technology giants.

During the more than 2000-year bull market, except for the bearish periods in 2008 and , the market has been on a steady upward trend.

Xu Yuexin pondered.

"Not yet. The silver that I invested in is only suitable for short-term speculation."

"But there is a computer company in the United States called Apple, which is currently preparing to go public and is expected to be successful by the end of next year."

"You can buy some then."

Xu Yuexin said slowly.

After saying these words, he felt that his little conscience had grown a little.

In 1979, persuading people to buy Apple was absolutely a matter of conscience.

As for whether Lin Qingxia listens or not, that is her own business.

Maybe Lin Qingxia won’t buy it in the end. After all, I haven’t shown my actual results in front of her yet. She may just ask for her opinion tonight.

Whether she can get rich depends on her fate.

"Okay, I'll listen to you."

Lin Qingxia raised her glass to Xu Yuexin and said, "Now that you've made money, I'll treat you to a French meal."

Two wine glasses clinked together, and a crisp sound was heard from the balcony.

In the next few days, Xu Yuexin ate and drank for free at Lin Qingxia's home and went to several places with her.

Before leaving, Lin Qingxia helped him book a direct flight to Beijing.

During the entire trip, Xu Yuexin did not spend a single cent of the foreign currency he exchanged for Jinsha. In the end, he exchanged it for a Walkman and a bracelet.

The bracelet was given to Lin Qingxia. When Xu Yuexin handed it to her, she looked very happy.

"What a beautiful bracelet. Thank you, Mr. Xu."

Outside the terminal, Lin Qingxia happily put the bracelet on her wrist and thanked Xu Yuexin, "By the way, I also prepared a small gift for you."

After saying that, she took out an exquisite glasses case from her bag.

"open to take a look."

Lin Qingxia said as she handed the glasses case to Xu Yuexin.

Xu Yuexin took the box and opened it. Wow, a brand new pair of Bulgari sunglasses!
This time... can I be considered to be truly a gigolo?

Lend me money, treat me to food and drinks, and give me luxury goods...

"Too expensive."

Xu Yuexin closed the glasses case, handed it back to Lin Qingxia and said, "I can't have it."

"You're welcome, Mr. Xu. I'll be happy if you can give me some pointers from now on."

Lin Qingxia said sincerely, "It's just like shooting a martial arts movie. I wouldn't have thought of it if you hadn't reminded me."

Seeing that he couldn't refuse anymore, Xu Yuexin made up his mind and took the sunglasses.

"It's just a small effort to open your mouth, it's not worth mentioning."

Xu Yuexin held the glasses case in his hand and said, "If you have any questions in the future, just ask me."

"I will definitely do my best."

"A word is settled!"

Lin Qingxia said reluctantly.

……

After a while, the flight took off and flew to Beijing, 2,000 kilometers away.

The flight landed at noon. Xu Yuexin took a car back home and went to the bathroom to take out his sunglasses and put them on.

Well, let me be shameless and say that he is really handsome enough to make bubbles appear.

The strong and angular face, paired with the exquisitely shaped and finely crafted brand-name sunglasses, is a perfect match.

Xu Yuexin wondered whether he should buy a leather jacket so that he could wear sunglasses and ride a Harley motorcycle.

A total arsonist of hearts!

Xu Yuexin thought happily, went downstairs, got on his motorcycle, and went to school for class.

Unsurprisingly, he became the focus of all passers-by as soon as he hit the road, with a turning head rate of 120%.

The reason why it is over 100% is that some people turned back more than twice.

Of course after arriving at the school, Xu Yuexin obediently took off his sunglasses and did not show up in public.

At present, many old professors still attach great importance to tradition. When they see students wearing sunglasses, they may frown and make comments.

Sing the song according to the mountain you are on. Why bother to bring bad luck to the old man?

You can hang out as you please outside the school gate, and once you enter school, you will be a good student of Yanyuan.

After entering the campus, Xu Yuexin went to the dormitory to retrieve his textbooks, put on his backpack and walked towards the classroom.

This afternoon we have English class. At the beginning of the school year, Yanda divided everyone into Class A, B and C according to their English scores in the college entrance examination.

Xu Yuexin was naturally assigned to Class A, and thus successfully enjoyed the fastest teaching speed in the school and the most fluent English teacher. The teacher of Class A was an old man who spoke a pure London accent, which made foreigners feel ashamed.

Correspondingly, Xu Yuexin discovered that the old man had some signs of high-intensity labor on his body, and he must have suffered a lot in the past few years.

In class, Xu Yuexin listened attentively and tried hard with other students to keep up with the old man's speaking rhythm.

In addition, he also has to take time to take notes from time to time and be prepared to answer questions.

As the class was about to end, Xu Yuexin and his classmates received a task: to choose a chapter from their favorite book, translate it into English and comment on it as a midterm assignment.

"Teacher, can you translate books that were originally written in Britain or the United States?"

Xu Yuexin raised his hand and asked.

"Yes, as long as you like."

The teacher smiled kindly and answered in English.

After class, Xu Yuexin immediately ran to the library, found a copy of Smith's "The Wealth of Nations", and turned to the page that he would never forget.

Invisible hand theory!
“Everyone is trying to use his capital to maximize the value of the products he produces.”

……

"All he's after is personal gain."

"But as he moved, an invisible hand guided him to another goal."

……

"In pursuing his own personal gain, he often promotes the interests of society."

This sentence laid the basic framework for future economic analysis and discussion.

Does anyone object to this statement? Yes, and quite a few.

This is exactly why economics is a science. Real science always encourages doubt and opposition.

As a former graduate student in economics, Xu Yuexin never thought that the "invisible hand" was omnipotent, but he believed that the real economy must operate on the basis of this theory.

The selfishness and profit-seeking nature of market players are the inherent logic of the market economy. Even if the market economy is to be regulated and corrected, it can only be guided on the premise of respecting this logic and inducing market participants to move towards a reasonable track through interests.

After some deep thought, Xu Yuexin carefully translated "The Wealth of Nations" and added his own English comments at the end of the text as required.

"Adam Smith's 'invisible hand' theory had extraordinary progressive significance at the time, and laid the theoretical foundation for the establishment of a free economic system in Britain after the 19th century."

……

“Although this theory was challenged by Keynesian economics and externality theory after the Great Depression of 1929, it could not obscure its brilliance.”

“Even though later economists believed that the invisible hand should be restricted and adjusted, in fact they did not deviate from Smith’s framework, that is, we can only guide the ‘invisible hand’ to the direction we want and avoid places where it should not go by adjusting the interest relations of market entities.”

"Understand human selfishness, guide human selfishness, and use selfishness to benefit mankind!"

A refreshing English writing!

Until the library closing bell rang, Xu Yuexin was still writing furiously, and did not leave until he wrote the last period.

The librarian did not come to urge him during the process.

Nowadays, college students generally study very hard, and they all want to work day and night to make up for the time lost for the country during this special period.

The sky outside was already pitch black, and Xu Yuexin rode his motorcycle home very slowly.

When he arrived at Keyuan Community, he heard a chaotic commotion inside and several voices shouting at the same time.

"Ouch, my stomach hurts so much..."

"Mom, bear with me for a while. Dad and I will go find a tricycle."

"Call the emergency number. I think she has acute appendicitis."

"The street staff have already closed down. Where can I find a phone number?"

There was some noise ahead, but Xu Yuexin still recognized Zhu Chen's voice.

From the conversation, it can be heard that her mother is going to the hospital.

Xu Yuexin rode his motorcycle to the place where the sound came from and saw Zhu Chen and the residents frantically carrying a middle-aged woman out.

At this moment, the middle-aged woman was constantly screaming in pain, and her voice was very painful.

"Sister Chen, take my motorcycle."

Xu Yuexin stopped the car and shouted to the crowd.

Zhu Chen took a look in the light of the street lamp and found that it was the neighbor he met during the day.

"Excuse me!"

Zhu Chen rushed forward and asked, "Can your car seat two people?"

She was worried that her mother was in too much pain and couldn't sit still in the car alone, so she wanted to go in with her.

"Yes, come up quickly."

Xu Yuexin urged.

"Mom, please sit in the middle."

Zhu Chen, his father and the neighbors worked together to help her mother onto the back seat, and then she sat in as well.

Zhu's mother sat in the middle, and Zhu Chen sat in the back, reached over her and hugged Xu Yuexin, holding his mother in place.

In this way, even if Zhu's mother cannot sit steadily, she will not fall down.

"Are you sitting still?"

"Ah."

After getting Zhu Chen's answer, Xu Yuexin stepped on the accelerator and rushed towards the main road in front of the community at the fastest speed.

"Please go to Union Hospital."

Zhu Chen hugged Xu Yuexin tightly and walked against the strong night wind.

She studied at Peking Union Medical College and knew the doctors there.

"it is good."

Xu Yuexin stepped on the accelerator to the limit and drove so fast that it seemed like he was flying.

The strong wind whistled past his ears. He and Zhu Chen did not speak, both worried about Zhu's mother's illness.

The motorcycle engine roared continuously, and the scenery along the road flew by. Soon, Xu Yuexin drove Zhu Chen and his daughter across the district boundary.

In this age without light pollution, he could already see the red cross on the roof of Union Hospital through the darkness.

"Be careful, don't fall."

After arriving at the place, Xu Yuexin quickly stopped the motorcycle and carried her mother to the emergency department with Zhu Chen.

"There is a critically ill patient, please help!"

After walking for a distance, Zhu Chen shouted anxiously towards the front.

Soon, footsteps were heard from the front, and doctors and nurses rushed out pushing nursing beds.

call……

After Zhu's mother was moved to the nursing bed, Xu Yuexin finally had time to check the time.

Well, today he only took 5 minutes to complete the journey that usually takes him 30 minutes.

After the doctor examined Zhu's mother and gave her simple preliminary treatment in the emergency room, he came out and informed Zhu Chen of her condition.

"It's a very serious case of acute appendicitis. We'll arrange surgery for her immediately."

The doctor said seriously, and then added, "Fortunately, he was sent to the hospital in time, otherwise it would have developed into appendicitis perforation and would have been very troublesome."

Perforated appendix...

As a medical student, Zhu Chen certainly understood the seriousness of these four words.

With a "dong" sound, Zhu Chen knelt straight on the ground, tears streaming down his face.

Half of these tears are sadness, and half are relief.

Thanks to meeting Xu Yuexin, otherwise...

"Hurry up, we have doctors from Union Hospital, so what are you afraid of?"

Xu Yuexin quickly helped Zhu Chen up and said, "Besides, they are busy. If you have anything to say, please say it quickly."

"Um……"

Zhu Chen tried to hold back his tears and looked at the doctor in front of him, "Excuse me, is Director Zhou Chengzhou on duty? He is my teacher, and I would like to ask him to operate on my mother."

"Director Zhou is not here, and he lives far away."

"Where is Deputy Director Zhao Hai?"

"He's here. Do you want him to be the surgeon?"

"Yes, he is my senior brother."

"Okay, I'll take you to find him."

……

After an intense night of work by doctors and nurses, Zhu Chen's mother's appendectomy surgery was declared a success and the disease was cured.

After Zhu's father and Zhu's relatives and friends arrived, Xu Yuexin rode his motorcycle and quietly left.

In the morning, in the ward.

Zhu Chen was still with his parents, constantly talking about Xu Yuexin's great kindness.

"Deputy Director Zhao said that Mom's condition was very urgent last night. If we were ten minutes later, it would have been very troublesome."

Zhu Chen covered his chest and said with lingering fear, "Thanks to Yue Xin, he rode a motorcycle to bring mom here."

As a medical student, Zhu Chen certainly understood what Deputy Director Zhao meant when he said the trouble was serious.

It is precisely because of this that her gratitude to Xu Yuexin is currently difficult to express in words.

Father Zhu sighed deeply: "That's right, relying on a tricycle will delay the treatment of the disease."

"We must thank him greatly."

Mother Zhu said with gratitude, "When I am discharged from the hospital, we will go to thank you together."

"That's right. Why don't we send Chen Chen to his house today to express our initial gratitude to Xiao Xu."

"Tell him about the visit later to express our gratitude."

Zhu's father suggested.

"Yes! I'll be there now."

Zhu Chen agreed immediately.

Zhu Chen originally had a good impression of Xu Yuexin.

Now, with the gratitude for saving her mother, Xu Yuexin's position in her heart has become particularly important.
