Chapter 105, The Grand Canal
"Go ahead and think about the canal, I'm going to accompany you to make trouble." After Wu Chunchun finished speaking, he broke free from Hu Wenjun and returned to the hotel.

The speaker has no heart, but the listener has heart.Wu Chunchun's inadvertent words were equivalent to giving Hu Wenjun a critical blow.Especially the sentence "If you don't make progress in the future, you will be like Lao Feng in the future." It deeply stimulated Hu Wenjun.

Hu Wenjun turned his head to look at Lao Feng, and suddenly felt like he was looking at himself decades later.Thinking about it, when Lao Feng was young, he should have been full of ambition and full of enthusiasm.But now Lao Feng only has the K-line chart of the stock market and Landlord Fighting on the weekend in his mind, and he has lost any temper.

What about Hu Wenjun himself?Will it be like this too, and end up in this life?This is really not what Hu Wenjun wants for the rest of his life... The more Hu Wenjun thinks about it, the more afraid he becomes...

"Brother Hu, come, eat some fruit." Just as Hu Wenjun was worried about his future, Tian Shuangshuang rushed out from the side and handed himself an orange.

"Hey, Shuangshuang, your drinking capacity is getting longer. After so many drinks, you are still so energetic." Hu Wenjun joked as he took the oranges and peeled them.

"Hey, Brother Hu underestimated me too much. I have to pay back to Lao Zhou in the future, so I have to practice a little bit anyway. Lao Zhou's brother-in-law can't fail to fight in one round."

"Hehe, okay, then you should improve as soon as possible. How is the matter between you and Rongmei? When do you plan to do it?" Hu Wenjun asked about Tian Shuangshuang and Zhou Rongmei's marriage with concern.

"Last week, I brought Sister Mei back to my hometown. My parents were very satisfied and asked us to get married quickly. My two plans to hold a wedding on National Day after the Chinese New Year."

"Well, the National Day is good, and the holiday is long. During that time, your relatives, friends, classmates, etc. should all come to join us. After the Chinese New Year, you should start to choose a hotel. Remember to call out if you still need help. Sister Yan and I." Hu Wenjun said slowly.

"Thank you, Brother Hu. I still need you to take care of me later. By the way, there is another happy event that I haven't told you yet."

"What? Got Rongmei?"

"Oh, brother Hu, how can it be so fast. It's not about my happy event, but about your happy event. My buddies in the administrative building in front of me said that the company plans to appoint a group of key grassroots cadres as commissioners this time, and your name is among them. You From now on, I will be Commissioner Hu." Tian Shuang said enthusiastically.

"That's it? Is this a happy event?" Hu Wenjun directly spat the orange core into the canal, very disdainful.

"Uh... Brother Hu, after all, the rank has been changed, so it should be considered a happy event."

"You also said that the company intends to promote a group of key personnel to be commissioners. It is a group! I also know about this. I won't talk about other departments, let's just talk about the business department of our welding department, which is the business department. Ke Laogeng did not promote the commissioner because of poor performance. But anyone with a little achievement, including Wang Niaoren, was promoted to commissioner." The more Hu Wenjun spoke, the more emotional he became, especially when he mentioned the name "Wang Weimin".

"Anyway, I'm an official, and I can get some salary increase after being transferred to a higher level, which more or less reflects the company's intentions."

Hu Wenjun glanced at Tian Shuangshuang, knowing that he didn't understand what he meant, so he stopped talking, but stuffed a piece of orange into his mouth and asked back: "Shuangshuang, do you know that Jinling City has the largest scale in history? Which was the biggest battle?"

Tian Shuangshuang scratched his head and said, "Is this the battle against the Yuan Dynasty in the Southern Song Dynasty? I visited the Jinling Museum when I first came to Jinling. I remember all the soldiers, common people, and scholars in Jinling City during the battle. , Taoist priests, monks, women, children, and children all went up. In the end, there were only seven people left after the city was completely destroyed... It seems that later generations have also set up a Haoran Pavilion, not far from here."

"The whole city of Jinling fought against the Yuan Dynasty, the 'Paper City Iron Man', that battle was indeed tragic, but it was not the largest. The largest scale should be the defense of Jinling during the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom period. The total troops invested by both sides should have been enough Nearly 40, plus the militia’s logistics, there are countless people participating in the battle, and the fierce battle ranges from Jurong Danyang in the north to Yixing in the south.” Hu Wenjun eloquently said.

"Brother Hu, you must be good at history. I am a science student, so I don't know so much. But I did hear that the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom fought a tough battle with the Qing Dynasty here. Why did Brother Hu suddenly have the interest to talk about the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and Daqing?" Cleared up?"

Looking at the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal full of historical charm, it is indeed easy to have a feeling of being in the long river of history.However, Jinling is also considered a famous historical city. It has gone through many dynasties, and there are many historical highlights.Tian Shuangshuang didn't understand why Hu Wenjun thought of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom in the late Qing Dynasty.

"Even if you are a science student, you should know how the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom fell."

"It's simple. It's nothing more than the innate limitations of the peasant class in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Movement. It was short-sighted. After some achievements, internal corruption was serious, and internal strife continued." Because this is the content of elementary school history textbooks, Tian Shuangshuang can still recall some general content.

"Then you should also know that the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom wanted to confer kings in the final period." Hu Wenjun asked immediately.

"I also remember this. It seems that hundreds of kings were sealed at once."

Hu Wenjun paused for a moment, and then said with great emotion: "Shuangshuang, don't you think that our unit's mention of so many so-called 'commissioners' this time is very similar to the arrogance of kings at the end of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom? There are kings everywhere, short and brilliant ..."

Tian Shuangshuang was slightly taken aback, but did not refute.Although Guochang's sales this year have increased compared with last year, this single-digit growth is incomparable to the double-digit growth of peer companies. To describe it in four words is "sluggish growth", which makes people feel It's the end of the battle...

After being silent for a while, Tian Shuangshuang asked cautiously: "Well, Brother Hu, you mean that our Guochang is the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and it is about to collapse?"

"Don't think too much. We are a national brand after all. It's not easy to go bankrupt directly, but it will be difficult to go to a higher level." Hu Wenjun said slowly.

After hearing this, Tian Shuangshuang bowed her head and remained silent.

Hu Wenjun turned around, patted Tian Shuangshuang on the shoulder and said, "Don't think too much, let's just do our own thing well in our own positions. At least our welding business department has always been in business, and we won't starve to death. Let's go back to the store Have a few more drinks and retreat."

Hu Wenjun walked towards the hotel with Tian Shuangshuang's shoulders on his shoulders, and after only a few steps, he looked back at the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal.Before there was no railway, the river was full of sails, and it was so crowded and busy, but in this era, its status as a major transportation artery has been handed over to highways, high-speed rail, and there are only a few sporadic steamships in the river.

Hu Wenjun already felt that a company like Guochang should have passed its peak period and began to sink in the long river of time...and he himself is a lone boat in this long river...
