In the 90s of the last century, Big Brother, as a status symbol, was expensive. Although Song Yunhui was already in the position of director of the Donghai Chemical Plant, he still maintained his indifference to power and money, and politely rejected the proposal to buy Big Brother. At the same time, his old friend Xun Jianxiang left a way back for him and rented a shop as a guarantee. Song Yunhui yearns for a position of power, but what about his innocence?
1. Song Yunhui declined Big Brother: Always remember hard work
In the early 90s of last century, Song Yunhui was just appointed as the director of the Donghai Chemical Plant, which is the crystallization of his years of hard work. As an intellectual from a poor background, Song Yunhui cherishes this hard-won position of power.
At this moment, Song Yunhui's secretary suggested to him to buy a Big Brother mobile phone. Big Brother at the time was not only expensive, but also seen as a symbol of status and status. The Donghai Municipal Government has specially approved a batch of scarce supplies, and specially set aside two big brother quotas for the Donghai Chemical Plant. The secretary believes that as the director of the factory, having a big brother can not only highlight Song Yunhui's status, but also be of great benefit to his work.
However, Song Yunhui politely declined this suggestion. He vividly remembered his origins – a poor child from a small mountain village. Although he is now in a high position, Song Yunhui has never forgotten his hardships. Although a big brother was a status symbol at the time, the price was high, which was really a big expense for Song Yunhui.
More importantly, Song Yunhui knows that power and money often blind people and make them disoriented. He always reminded himself to maintain a humble and prudent style, and not to be deceived by the momentary power and wealth. It is this indifference to power and money that makes Song Yunhui keep a clear head and adhere to the principle of thrift and pragmatism.
As a former intellectual, Song Yunhui knows the power of knowledge. He understands that only by maintaining a humble and studious attitude, working diligently and being down-to-earth can he truly achieve lasting achievements. The vanity of pursuing power and money will only lead to disorientation and ultimately achieve nothing.
Therefore, although Big Brother was a status symbol at the time, Song Yunhui resolutely refused to buy it. He would rather give up this symbol of vanity for a while than shake his principles for the sake of momentary pleasures. This indifference to power and money is an important reason why Song Yunhui was able to stand tall in the later power struggle.
2. Xun Jianxiang generously donated money to rent the shop
Although Song Yunhui rejected the proposal to buy Big Brother, he was not completely averse to the benefits of power and money. In fact, his old friend Xun Jianxiang had already left a way back for him.
Xun Jianxiang and Song Yunhui are alumni of the Department of Chemical Engineering of Anyun University, and the two have formed a deep revolutionary friendship since their college days. After graduating, Xun Jianxiang, like Song Yunhui, first worked at the Jinzhou Chemical Plant. However, a few years later, he chose another path, rented two shops in Donghai City, and started his own business.
For Song Yunhui, Xun Jianxiang is not only a close friend, but also a confidant and mentor on the road of life. Xun Jianxiang knows that Song Yunhui was born in poverty, and he has worked hard all the way so far, although he has been in an important position, but the road ahead is still full of unknowns. Therefore, he generously donated money and left a shop for Song Yunhui as a way back.
The rent of this shop is all borne by Xun Jianxiang alone. If the rent rises in the future, then the difference will be all attributed to Song Yunhui, and if Xun Jianxiang makes a profit from this shop, then all the profits will also be attributed to Song Yunhui. It can be said that this is a profitable business, but Song Yunhui does not need to invest any money.
For Song Yunhui, this is undoubtedly a hard-won gift. However, he did not owe anything to Xun Jianxiang because of this. Instead, Song Yunhui only allowed Xun Jianxiang's wife to knit a small sweater for his daughter to show his gratitude for the friendship.
From one side, Xun Jianxiang's move is undoubtedly out of sincerity to Song Yunhui. The two have known each other since their college days, and Xun Jianxiang knows Song Yunhui's character well and has absolute trust in him. Because of this, he did not hesitate to leave such a back road for Song Yunhui.
However, from another point of view, Xun Jianxiang's move can also be said to be a shrewd investment. As Song Yunhui's best friend, he knows Song Yunhui's talent and future better than anyone else. If one day in the future, Song Yunhui really encounters something unexpected, then this shop will become a way for him to live. And if Song Yunhui goes well, then this investment will also get a good return.
In any case, Xun Jianxiang's generous act undoubtedly demonstrates the depth of the revolutionary friendship between the two. In that turbulent era, it was really a great blessing for Song Yunhui to be able to make such a trustworthy bosom friend. With the guarantee of Xun Jianxiang, even if Song Yunhui encountered twists and turns in the later power struggle, he always had a way to live.
3. Song Yunhui has the grace of knowing Yang Xun's mother
On Song Yunhui's life path, in addition to Xun Jianxiang, a close friend, there is another person who has an important impact on his growth, that is, Yang Xun's mother.
Yang Xun and Song Yunhui were originally friends from the same village, and the two have known each other in the mountain village since childhood. However, fate led them to a different path. Song Yunhui relied on his ingenuity and intelligence to be admitted to the university step by step, while Yang Xun stayed in his hometown and later opened an electrical building materials market with the help of Song Yunhui.
However, without the help of Yang Xun's mother, Song Yunhui may not have achieved today's achievements. That can be traced back to the end of the 60s of the last century, when Song Yunhui was just an educated youth who was in the back of the mountain. Although his family was poor, he was diligent and studious since he was a child, and he had an incomparable thirst for knowledge.
It was at that time that Yang Xun's mother saw Song Yunhui's intelligence and self-motivation and took the initiative to provide him with various financial support. Whenever Song Yunhui needed new textbooks or school supplies, Yang Xun's mother was always the first to lend a hand. Sometimes, she would even go to the county seat in person to buy the items she needed for Song Yunhui.
It can be said that it was with the kindness of Yang Xun's mother that Song Yunhui was able to absorb knowledge with hunger, and was finally admitted to the Department of Chemical Engineering of Anyun University, which was famous at that time. Before leaving his hometown, Song Yunhui made a special trip to visit Yang Xun's mother and expressed his gratitude to her.
After graduating from university, Song Yunhui never forgot the kindness of Yang Xun's mother. When he was working at the Golden State Chemical Plant, Yang Xun also came to the city with the intention of starting a business here. Relying on Song Yunhui's local network resources, Yang Xun soon opened an electrical appliance market on Yangtze Street and quickly emerged.
It can be said that without Song Yunhui's strong help, it would be difficult for Yang Xun's career to have today's achievements. It is precisely out of the kindness of knowing Yang Xun's mother that Song Yunhui will spare no effort to help Yang Xun and lay a foundation for him in Jinzhou.
Later, when Song Yunhui was transferred to the Donghai Chemical Factory, Yang Xun followed suit and opened a building materials market in Donghai City. Although the friendship between the two is not as deep as that of Song Yunhui and Xun Jianxiang, Song Yunhui still provides Yang Xun with various conveniences and support within a reasonable and legal range.
Until Yang Xun's mother died, she always regarded Song Yunhui as her own son. Under her entrustment, Yang Xun also entrusted everything from his mother to Song Yunhui, hoping that he could take good care of his own hair.
It can be said that if it were not for the kindness of Yang Xun's mother back then, what would Song Yunhui's achievements be today? Her sincere heart not only created Song Yunhui, but also influenced and changed Yang Xun's life trajectory to a great extent. It is with this origin that Song Yunhui will always remember the kindness of Yang Xun's mother in his later life and career, and repay and take care of him.
4. Song Yunhui maintains a pure heart
Although Song Yunhui showed a high degree of indifference and frugality in the face of the temptation of power and money, this does not mean that he has no desire for these at all. In fact, as mentioned earlier, his friends Xun Jianxiang and Yang Xun have left a way back for him. However, Song Yunhui never owed them any debt or special care because of this.
For Xun's generous gift, Song Yunhui only allowed his wife to knit a small sweater for her daughter to show his gratitude for the friendship. As for Yang Xun, although Song Yunhui has always been concerned about his mother's kindness, when he helped Yang Xun develop his career, he only provided convenience and support within a reasonable and legal scope, and never had any other thoughts.
It can be said that Song Yunhui's attitude towards power and money has always maintained a high degree of restraint and indifference. He knows that once he is blinded by these things, it is easy to lose his way and end up with nothing. Therefore, he always reminds himself to maintain a humble and prudent style, and not to be deceived by momentary power and wealth.
This indifference to power and money comes from Song Yunhui's deep memory of his origins. As an intellectual from a poor background, he experienced all kinds of hardships since he was a child. It was these tribulations that made him deeply appreciate the emptiness of money and power, and also strengthened his pursuit of ideals and beliefs.
In Song Yunhui's view, the real achievements do not come from temporary power and wealth, but from diligent work and down-to-earth persistence. Only by maintaining a humble and studious attitude at all times can we truly achieve lasting results. The vanity of pursuing power and money will only lead to disorientation and ultimately achieve nothing.
It was precisely because of this firm belief that Song Yunhui was able to stand tall in the later power struggle. Even in a high position, he has never forgotten his original intention and true colors. He politely rejected those who tried to tempt him with money and power, sticking to his principles and integrity.
end
It can be said that it is this indifference to power and money, as well as the persistent pursuit of ideals and beliefs, that is the fundamental reason why Song Yunhui can move forward all the way in the turbulent era. He always reminds himself that he must maintain a pure heart and not be deceived by external objects, so that he can truly be alone and finally realize his ideals and ambitions.
