No matter how precocious Yuan Ning was, he was only seventeen or eighteen years old.He has experienced many things, but he still can't smooth the sharp edges and corners.He has always tried his best to be kind to the people around him. He cherishes family, friendship, and love very much, and never lets himself ignore those who need care.

However, even though he once vowed that he would choose a different path from his parents, there are still some things in his heart that are the same as his parents: when he sees other people's children, he thinks of his own children, and when he sees other people's old people, he thinks of his own old people , he will quickly give birth to sympathy and anger, and empathize with everything about the other party.They are all people with parents and family members, so why not treat other people's lives as human lives?

Is it because they don't bring enough benefits?

Is it because they have long been abandoned by the times and will never know what they are suffering?

Yuan Ning pursed his lips and told reporter Zhao about his investigation plan. Since he had already started preparations these days, he had also considered such a problem.He asked Principal Fei to find them, so we can't put them in danger, right?

From the very beginning, Yuan Ning did not intend to bring people there in the name of investigation, what he brought was "investment projects".Originally, he planned to buy Hullegan's ranch, and it would not be difficult to complete one or two investment projects.

Now that economic development indicators are issued like a task, Yuan Ning believes that they will not push investment projects out.After the investment project is negotiated, it will not be eye-catching when you come to the site for inspection. If you want people to invest money, you have to let people understand the local situation, right?

Now that Reporter Zhao's two apprentices are being beaten, it makes their appearance a little weird.Yuan Ning thought for a while, and said to reporter Zhao: "I'll discuss it with others, so that I don't have to suffer if I can't find out the result."

Reporter Zhao said: "Then I'll go over there to eat and drink for a while, and then I'll give you an inside and outside cooperation." Although Reporter Zhao is well-known in the industry, he has rarely shown his face in the media. Not much, his acting skills are good, and he can enjoy himself everywhere.

As soon as Reporter Zhao said it, Yuan Ning understood that Reporter Zhao was going to confuse this matter, probably to make the other party believe that this matter is young people who are ignorant and passionate, and the old people in the industry know what to write and what not to write. He is the "old man in the industry".

Yuan Ning did not go to the two experts immediately, but to Du Jiancheng.Du Jiancheng also knew what happened to Yuan Ning, but the local power in Changcang was very strong, and he tried to deal with it for several years but failed to settle it.In addition, the provincial capital is not monolithic, and even some people overtly and secretly exclude him as an outsider, so he can only stare blankly at the plight of some places.

Du Jiancheng said: "It's too risky for you to bring people there by yourself. It just so happens that the funds I applied for a year ago are in place, and I will soon promote the project of going to the countryside for medical treatment. Find out about the expansion of the health center, and I will directly organize your people into the medical team to go there together, so that the sampling will not be too eye-catching."

Yuan Ning's eyes lit up: "That's great!"

Du Jiancheng was a little embarrassed for a while: "Actually, I want Ningning to help you with something. You know how bad I am at planning. Although I sorted out the implementation plan for sending medical care to the countryside, I feel like I can't pass the vote. That level. Ningning, can you help me change it?" He also has many people under his command, but even after brainstorming several times, the result is the same.Thinking of Yuan Ning's bright head, Du Jiancheng wished he could get Yuan Ning over in advance!

Yuan Ning: "..."

Yuan Ning knows Du Jiancheng's difficulties. The government spends money to promote medical treatment to the countryside, which is tantamount to cutting flesh for some people, so it is naturally making things difficult.Not to mention that there were some people who were at odds with Du Jiancheng.

Yuan Ning said, "I'll give it a try."

Yuan Ning took the proposal from Du Jiancheng, read it while reading it, and asked Du Jiancheng to write a note, so that he could ask some departments for information without any hindrance.In a short while, Yuan Ning came back with a thick first base of materials, which were almost half a meter high, and the rest of them hadn't been brought yet, and a young man from Changcang was moving them for him.

Seeing that the reception table in the office instantly turned into Yuan Ning's desk, with more things on it than his desk, Du Jiancheng was in a complicated mood.Some things really don't depend on fluke or talent alone, but should depend more on hard work!

Yuan Ning didn't notice the emotion on Du Jiancheng's face. He flipped through the materials in front of him quickly, carefully looking for what he needed in the densely packed text and data. A dozen draft papers.When it was time to eat, Yuan Ning stretched his muscles, stopped working, stood up and asked Du Jiancheng to borrow the phone.

Du Chengcheng said naturally: "Hit whatever you want!"

Yuan Ning thanked him with a smile, and dialed Zhang Xiuyan's number.After realizing that the other party connected immediately, Yuan Ning immediately sullenly said, "Sure enough, you didn't go to eat, did you? Go and eat!"

The person over there is naturally Zhang Xiuyan.Knowing that he was wrong, he immediately agreed: "Let's go."

The two talked a few more words before Yuan Ning hung up the phone.

Du Jiancheng just noticed Yuan Ning's expression was different from usual: Although at the beginning, although he was fierce, there was obvious concern in his words, and then he was full of joy and gentleness when he spoke.

Du Jiancheng inevitably made fun of Yuan Ning again: "I have a date at such a young age? I even have to call for a few words when I eat. It's nice to have a boyfriend who is so caring like you."

Yuan Ning smiled, not shy at all: "Of course." He looked at Du Jiancheng with a smile on his brows and eyes, "Brother, shouldn't you work harder? If you like a girl, you can come to me. I will give you some support."

Du Jiancheng: "..."

This bastard!

Yuan Ning didn't go out to eat, but followed Du Jiancheng to the cafeteria.

The staple food here is noodles. Yuan Ning ran to the window to chat with the noodle maker, and got a big bowl of beef noodles with more beef than noodles.

Yuan Ning looked around with his face in his hand, set up a table with a few people he had met just now, and vomited bitterness to the other party that Du Jiancheng squeezed the labor force.After opening the conversation, he quickly integrated into it, listening to other people's conversations, and from time to time, he tried to figure out what he wanted to know.

After eating a meal, Yuan Ning has a better understanding of Changcang's medical condition.Although it was proposed in the early years to send education and medical care to the countryside, it is a pity that it has not been fully implemented.

There is no way, one is lack of money, and the other is lack of people.

Yuan Ning could easily buy several pastures, but he was helpless in the face of this huge gap.This trip to the countryside for medical treatment is said to be to find out the bottom line, but it is extremely difficult to find out even once. How can it be easy to really build a sound medical network?

And even if enough health centers are built, it is also necessary to consider whether there are enough medical staff available.

In short, it is difficult!

But you can't stop taking a step forward just because it's difficult.

This trip to the countryside to preach and go to the countryside for consultation is the first step.

This is not a problem for Yuan Ning. After all, Yuan Ning was in charge of the activities of the Calligraphy Association in Huaiqing.

Back in Du Jiancheng's office, Yuan Ning sifts through the materials based on what he learned during the meal, and picked out the materials that are closer to Changcang's current situation, splitting and combining them in his mind until he has thoroughly understood them all. It was only then that he began to attack Du Jiancheng's plan.

It wasn't until dusk that Yuan Ning rubbed his sore wrist and closed the plan of overthrowing and reorganizing.He blackmailed Du Chengcheng for a meal and gave the plan out.

Yuan Ning walked back to the pasture in the dark, and felt the fresh smell of grass leaves penetrate into his nose with the night wind, and his mood gradually eased.

Whenever he realizes how tiny his own power is, he always has a kind of anxiety and anxiety that cannot go back. Sometimes he is afraid that he will become drifting and insensitive, and sometimes he is afraid that his impulsiveness will cause trouble to the most important people.

The tall figure of Zhang Xiuyan emerged in Yuan Ning's mind, and the anxiety in his heart was finally calmed down.As long as he unswervingly pursues the footsteps of his elder brother, he will be able to do more things and help more people, and this feeling of powerlessness will become less and less.

Yes, that's it.

Yuan Ning paused slightly, looked up at Xingzi hidden behind the clouds, with a little bit of starlight in his eyes.

On the other side, Du Jiancheng returned home with the plan, and couldn't wait to open it to take a closer look.Seeing the well-organized diagrams and words above, Du Jiancheng could only lament that Yuan Ning deserved to be a member of the Calligraphy Association. This handwriting can calm many people.Thinking about how Yuan Ning got along with the people in the health department in just half a day, Du Jiancheng had no other thoughts in his heart other than "admiration".He put away his thoughts and looked down seriously.

After Yuan Ning helped change the plan last year, Du Jiancheng knew that Yuan Ning had a flexible mind, and this execution plan was the same.

Du Jiancheng knew how his original plan was written, roughly how much it would cost here, how many people would be employed here, and how long it would take here, each item was clearly listed.

What Yuan Ning changed was completely different. After Yuan Ning changed, the whole plan actually became "how many markets can be opened up in this way", "how much experience can be accumulated in this way", and some places even vaguely mentioned "how can we report in this way?" ""How many pieces of this cake can be distributed to those who support medical care going to the countryside".

That benefit, that achievement, even Du Jiancheng was moved by seeing it himself!

It is conceivable that after reading this plan, many people will take the initiative to promote it - who will not be tempted to do something that can benefit you without having to do things yourself?As for spending money, anyway, it is the money in the treasury, and if you don’t spend it, you won’t get it in your own pocket. As long as you don’t just let someone take advantage of the benefits, what does it matter if you spend more or less?

Du Jiancheng put down the plan in his hand and let out a long breath of relief.

I really don't know how his little brother's head grows.

If you want to divide the cake like this, you must have the ability to make cakes—or "draw a big cake", and what he lacks is this ability!

Du Jiancheng carefully put away the plan.He used to think about how to get Yuan Ning to his side, but now he no longer has such thoughts, he might as well follow Yuan Ning after Yuan Ning wakes up.

Principal Fei has received calls from many people these days, all of whom have almost the same meaning, saying, "Where did you get this student?" "Why didn't you introduce such a good thing to me?"The ones in the front are naturally two experts who have been in contact with Yuan Ning, and the ones behind are some old friends from Changcang. Others don't know about Yuan Ning, so can his old friends not know?Everyone said that Principal Fei was not kind, and he didn't consider them first when the great opportunity came.

Principal Fei accepted all the compliments, and when faced with questions from old friends, he explained seriously: "If you find you, you won't be able to train that kid. He needs his own team."

Yuan Ning has not yet accumulated the awareness of his team members. Most of the time when he found problems, Mr. Zhang or Zhang Xiuyan came forward to solve them. Any special talents he encountered were generally owned by Mr. Zhang, and he had nothing to do with them.

But this time Yuan Ning did not discuss with Zhang Xiuyan and the others.

He didn't want to be protected all his life, and he didn't want someone else to solve the trouble every time.Zhang Xiuyan has a lot to do, and Mr. Zhang has a lot to do. He already has a certain amount of experience, and there are seniors who can be trusted.Although it may not be possible to make the Zhang family's shots so fast and perfect, Yuan Ning still wants to try hard.

Yuan Ning stayed in Changcang for another two weeks, and returned to the capital after finishing the arrangements.After more than a year of high-pressure study, Yuan Ning has almost finished his major and elective courses. The professors all favored him and did not hold him accountable for his repeated absences.

Every student has a different direction of development. Some are suitable for immersing themselves in academics, while others are suitable for direct practice. Yuan Ning himself is diligent enough to not fall behind in his studies. No one will object to running outside more often.

With the tacit consent of the professors, Yuan Ning became obedient instead, and stopped going out, obediently attending class until the final exam.

The thick shade of summer has replaced the freshness of spring, and the sun is getting stronger and stronger. Staying in the sun for a while will make you feel hot and dry.

After Yuan Ning finished the exam, Song Xingchen and the others went outside the school gate to buy watermelons to eat.The watermelon is grown by the store itself. It is not too big, the skin is very thin, and the scoop is very red. It tastes great after being chilled.The store has a juice extractor, which was made for him by a former student, and it works very well—in fact, the large refrigerator used for making ice in the store was also given by a former student. The small fruit shop has many wonderful ideas. Some foreigners even came here especially to touch some of the strange inventions in the store.Seeing Yuan Ning and his party coming, the store greeted them warmly: "Do you want some watermelon juice?"

Hao Xiaolan said: "No, we want a whole one! Half a piece for each person!"

No one objected to Hao Xiaolan's proposal. After the store cut up the watermelon and sent it up, each of them would hold half of it and eat it with a spoon. We ate and chatted about our plans for the summer vacation.

Hao Xiaolan ate half of the watermelon, glanced at Yuan Ning, and asked, "You won't go to your elder brother's place this year, will you?" Although Song Xingchen admired Zhang Xiuyan very much, the two of them were in a relationship and ran with Yuan Ning Going to Zhang Xiuyan's side is inevitably a little embarrassing.

Yuan Ning shook his head: "I won't go this year."

Mentioning this, Yuan Ning's tone was a little lost.It's not that he doesn't want to go, but that things in Changcang are coming to an end, and he has to go over and watch, otherwise he won't be at ease.You can't always be the hands-off shopkeeper for things you bring on yourself.

Hao Xiaolan's eyes lit up: "Then what are you going to do, Ningning?"

Song Xingchen pursed his lips and said nothing.Since they were young, they have actually been running around with Yuan Ning. Last year, he and Hao Xiaolan mistrusted Yu Langran, and they became estranged from Yuan Ning a lot.Although this will not affect the friendship between them, Song Xingchen is very clear that it is because of Yuan Ning, if it were someone else, they would have drifted away.

So when Hao Xiaolan proposed that he would like to be with Yuan Ning this summer vacation like before, Song Xingchen agreed without thinking.Whether it is family affection or friendship, it cannot be managed by one party alone, but maintained by both parties.

Yuan Ning didn't hide anything, and revealed his plan to go to Changcang.Hao Xiaolan said happily when she heard it: "You bought a new ranch over there! We haven't visited it yet, why don't Song Xingchen and I go too!"

Yuan Ning naturally would not refuse.The three of them settled on a good time, and Song Xingchen and Hao Xiaolan left Yuan Ning to go to the movies.Yuan Ning told them to prepare something there, and told them to remember to buy it after watching the movie.Although you can buy it there, but after all, you are away from home, and it will be troublesome if you can’t find it for a while.

That night, Du Jiancheng called to say that the medical care project was coming to an end and everyone had returned.Yuan Ning set off with Hao Xiaolan and the others the next day, instead of going to the ranch, they went straight to Du Jiancheng.The two project leaders are already waiting there.

Yuan Ning introduced Song Xingchen and Hao Xiaolan to them, and then asked about the progress of the investigation.The two project leaders looked at each other solemnly, and sighed: "The situation is more serious than we imagined. As you guessed, cotton has been planted there for several years, and the land has almost been exhausted. The more cotton The worse the result is, the people from the agricultural trade association told the cotton farmers that this is because the pests are serious, and the dosage of pesticides should be increased.”

Du Jiancheng answered: "I used to make money, but now I earn less—or even lose money. Many cotton farmers are not reconciled, so they followed the advice of those people and increased the amount of pesticides." He paused, He took a long breath, "The people from the pesticide factory bribed most of the farmers' cooperatives in the province to increase their purchases, which greatly increased the sales of pesticides. Cotton planting has sprung up in recent years, and many people I don't even know the temperament of this thing, this thing needs a lot of fertility, and it cannot be planted with high intensity for a long time."

The person in charge of another project felt even more serious: "Because of pesticide production and cotton industry pollution, nearly half of the people in every village in that area have symptoms of chronic arsenic poisoning of varying severity, mainly due to the arsenic content in the air and drinking water. They are all seriously exceeding the standard.” Even if the pesticide factories are stopped now, and part of the cotton planting is stopped, the damaged body and land will not be able to return to normal.Both people and land are very vulnerable.

The embarrassment at the beginning has long been replaced by a heavy mood.

When people don't see or hear, they can close their eyes and cover their ears, pretending that they don't know anything.But once you know it, once you see it with your own eyes and hear it with your own ears, who can remain indifferent?That's a real person!That is the land, water and air they depend on for survival!Pretend not to see now, what about in the future?Don't worry about it at the beginning, and wait for the matter to spread to yourself or someone important to you?

The two project leaders said: "We want to publish the results of the investigation, and the manuscript will be delivered directly to the capital!" They have seen the chaos here in Changcang in the past few years, and they don't trust anyone here. Including Du Jiancheng sitting in this office.It's not that he doesn't trust Du Jiancheng's character, but that he doesn't trust Du Jiancheng's ability to withstand the pressure of some people.

Du Jiancheng couldn't help looking at Yuan Ning.

Yuan Ning said: "Teachers, don't be impulsive. Can you give me a copy of the investigation results and wait for a few days?"

The two project leaders looked at each other.Through these two months of cooperation, they knew that Yuan Ning's background was not simple, and he never acted on the basis of passion as he himself said.On the contrary, Yuan Ning responded to their requests, asking money for money, and asking for people to give. Even Du Jiancheng, who was equivalent to the third in command of Changcang, vaguely seemed to obey Yuan Ning's words.

Yes, listen.

It's an odd feeling, but that's what they think.Because Yuan Ning is basically making up his mind when encountering anything, and when Du Jiancheng feels embarrassed, he will subconsciously look at Yuan Ning.

This shows that Yuan Ning is the backbone, the commander, and the controller.

In fact, after they got in touch with Yuan Ning, they also hoped to get closer to this very young child in the future.It is inevitable that academics will have some idealism in their hearts. Even though the edges and corners are almost smoothed by reality, they still have naivety and faith in their hearts-believe that the world will become better, and that everything they do is true. To make the world a better place.

The two project leaders agreed: "Okay, we'll wait for your news." After they finished speaking, they handed the report to Yuan Ning, got up and left without staying any longer.

Du Jiancheng watched them walk out the door, and his eyes fell back on Yuan Ning's face.His eyes are firm and his expression is also firm. Although he is only seventeen or eighteen years old, he already knows what he wants and what he should do.Seeing that Yuan Ning's words made the two resolute project leaders agree to go back and wait for the news, Du Jiancheng heaved a sigh of relief and said to Yuan Ning, "Thank you." It is nothing more than to tell the people outside Changcang to everyone who can manage things here.

It was the equivalent of slapping them in the face.

Yuan Ning said, "Thank you for what I did." He looked at Du Jiancheng with a solemn tone, "Brother, I am going to write a report with these two results, you can choose not to participate, or you can choose to sign your name on it." name."

Du Chengcheng was surprised: "What report?"

Yuan Ning looked at Du Jiancheng firmly: "Brother, you choose first."

Du Chengcheng smiled wryly.

This kid could see what he was thinking just now.

What kind of face does this kind of thing still worry about?The thing happened right under his nose, but he didn't realize it——he didn't have the face to talk about it as early as when it happened!

Du Jiancheng said sternly: "No matter what, I will be counted as one."
