Because before LiDong, has not participated insimilaractivity, does not have the deep understanding, is not very clearto the school anniversaryflow.
因为李东之前没参加过类似的活动,也没深入了解,对校庆流程并不是很清楚。Juststartedto sit down, LiDonghad not satcalmly and steadily, was ready in full battle array, waits foris coming to powermomentarily.
刚开始坐下的时候,李东还一直没坐安稳,严阵以待,等待着随时上台。Maywait for the school party committeesecretariesto finishto the welcoming speech, publishesto the principal„shares hardships for 80years, song sung to a stringed instrument accompanimentafter the future”keynote report, the timehad passed by for a halfhour.
可等校党委书记致欢迎辞结束,到校长发表“风雨同舟八十载,一路弦歌向未来”的主题报告后,时间已经过去了半小时。Theysaid,LiDongxiangshouldquicklytooneself.
他们两人说完,李东想着应该快到自己了吧。Butthensomepeoplemounted the stage, whatmounting the stageis a foreigner, listening to the host saying that an academicianfromUS Academy of Science, universityrepresentative who alsocooperatedwithriverbig.
可接下来又有人上台了,上台的还是一位老外,听主持人介绍说,是来自美国科学院的一位院士,也是与江大合作的高校代表。WhatotherssaidisEnglish, LiDongcannot understandseveral.
人家说的是英语,李东也听不懂几句。Althoughsomepeoplefollowto translate, butLiDongtingis beingsomewhatdrowsy.
虽然有人跟着翻译,可李东听着还是有些昏昏欲睡。Byhimseveralpeoplewere clearly more experienced than LiDong, have long knownobviouslycanbethissituation, seeminglyfull of energy, in factalreadybeyondpatrollingthing.
他旁边的几人显然比李东有经验,显然早就知道会是这种情况,一个个看似精神抖擞,实际上早就神游物外。FeelsLiDongvisitingprobably, beforedid not haveChenwave of exchangeto saywithLi Dongyisuddenlyin a low voice: „LiDongstudies the younger brother, firstraisesto maintain mental tranquility, don't, whenyourtimefell asleep.”
大概是感受到了李东的探视,之前和李东一直没有交流的陈浪忽然低声道:“李东学弟,先养养神,别等到你的时候睡着了。”LiDongleng, then said with a smile: „Thanks the school leaderto care, cannot.”
李东愣了一下,接着便笑道:“谢谢学长关心,不会的。”ChenLangweismiled , to continue saying: „No rush, toyoualsoearly. Thenalsohas the professor in domesticcooperationcollegesto give a speech, the honored guestrepresents the speech, read aloud the letter of congratulations of domestic and foreigncooperative enterpriseandunit, the alumni representativegives a speech, the teacher representativegave a speech, thencanbe one's turnyou.”
陈浪微微笑了一下,继续道:“别着急,到你还早着呢。接下来还有国内合作院校的教授致辞,嘉宾代表致辞,诵读国内外合作企业与单位的贺信,校友代表致辞,教师代表致辞,然后就能轮到你了。”LiDongzuicorner/hornpulled outpulling out, it seems likeoneselfwere tender, thismattershouldthinkearly.
李东嘴角抽了抽,看来自己还是嫩了点,这种事早该想到的。Regarding the reminder of Chenwave, LiDongnoddedto thankwith a smile.
对于陈浪的提醒,李东笑着点头感谢了一下。Becausein the stage, the stagenextseveral thousandpeoplelooks,LiDonghas not saidanything.
因为在高台上,台下几千人看着,李东也没多说什么。HoweverChenwaveprobablyissomewhatbored, orthought that no one who sitscanhearhimto sayanything, without the wordslooks for the words: „LiDongstudies the younger brother, couple of days agoheard that youwere injured, was all right?”
不过陈浪大概是坐的有些无聊,又或者觉得没人能听到他说什么,没话找话道:“李东学弟,前两天听说你受伤了,没事了吧?”LiDongbrainrotated, thenaccess road/simply said: „A skinflesh wound, the outside worldincorrectly relayed an erroneous message, exaggeratingitsword.”
李东脑筋转动了一下,接着便道:“一点皮外伤而已,外界都是以讹传讹,夸张其词罢了。”„Thatis good!”Chenwaveas ifrelaxes, sighedlowly: „Doing businessisthis, no oneis easy. Fame portends trouble, LiXuedi the crest of wavewas too abundantin this year, takingthisopportunity, low-keysome time is also exactly good.”
“那就好!”陈浪仿佛松了口气,又低叹道:“做生意就是这样,谁都不容易。人怕出名猪怕壮,李学弟这一年来风头太盛了,恰好借这个机会,低调一段时间也好。”LiDongfeelsinhiswordsto have the words, said with a smileslightly: „Many thanksschool leaderChenwarned,next timewill pay attention.”
李东觉得他话中有话,微微笑道:“多谢陈学长告诫,下次会注意的。”Chenwavesmiles, has not saidagain, beyond the patrollingthing.
陈浪笑了笑,没再接话,自顾自地神游物外去了。LiDongslightlycongealingeyebrow, buthas not saidanything, the line of sightlooksbeforestage, the lookhas not actually focused, in the brainis thinkingownmatter.
李东微微凝眉,不过也没说什么,视线看向台前,眼神却是没有聚焦,脑中想着自己的事。
......
……Alsocrossed for a halfhour, frontspeechspeaks.
又过了半个小时,前面该发言的都发完言了。When the hostreportedonLiDongname, under the stageheardcheersimmediately.
等主持人报上李东的名字,台下顿时传来一阵欢呼声。Teaches the platitudes of academiciancompared withthese, thesestudentshopeobviouslycanhearLiDongto sayseveral, after allLiDongandtheyare the contemporaries.
比起那些教授院士的老生常谈,这些学生们显然更希望能听到李东说几句,毕竟李东和他们才是同龄人。Moreover after LiDongis honored as80 one of the leaders, the shorttwoyearsbuilt a north of the Changjiang Riverbiggestretailoverlordgroup.
而且李东被誉为八零后的领军人物之一,短短两年时间就打造了一个江北最大的零售业霸主集团。riverbig the studentalmostdoes not havenot to hearLiDong, no mattergraduatingSenior BrotherSenior Sisters, orjustentered the schoolsoonstudyyounger brotherstudyyounger sisters, hopes that canobtainsomeharvestsfromLiDongthis.
江大的学生几乎没有没听说过李东的,不管是即将毕业的师兄师姐们,又或是刚入校不久的学弟学妹们,都希望能从李东这得到一些收获。LiDong of suitwalked onto the stagequickly, bowstoward the stageunderslightly.
一身西装的李东很快就走上了前台,又朝着台下微微鞠了个躬。
The studentscheerscontinuously, madetheseschoolleaderslook at each other in blank dismay, has not expected to besuchsituationcompletely.
学生们欢呼声此起彼伏,弄的那些校领导们都面面相觑,完全没料到会是这么个情况。LiDong on stagepicks up the microphone, clears throatstarts saying: „Fellowleaders of respect, fellowguests, dearSenior BrotherSenior Sisterandteacherschoolmates......”
台上的李东拿起话筒,清了清嗓子就开始说道:“尊敬的各位领导,各位来宾,亲爱的师兄师姐、老师同学们……”
......
……LiDongspeechactuallyandfrontthatseveraldo not have much difference, as but before the students under stagelistenwith great interest.
李东的演讲其实和前面那几位没太大区别,可台下的学生们依旧听的津津有味。Onthesehonored guestsas forstage, do not havetooto pay attention toLiDongspeech, LiDongthisperson who regards as important.
至于台上的这些嘉宾,却是没太关注李东的讲话,更看重的还是李东这个人。Theyknow that thisschool anniversaryspoke, LiDongwill not cause any unexpectedspeech.
他们知道这次校庆发言,李东不会弄出什么出人意料的演讲。After alltoday the personhas the domestic and foreignhonored guests, province'sleadership, academic circlebig, at this timeLiDong, ifcomesto stun the world, thatisreallysilly.
毕竟今天来的人有国内外的嘉宾,还有省里的领导,学术界的大咖,这时候李东要是来个语出惊人,那才是真傻。Does not do well, thehat of winning favor by ostentationmustbuckleonLiDonghead.
一个弄不好,哗众取宠的这顶帽子就得扣在李东脑袋上。OriginallyLiDongis at the keenest struggle, at this timenaturallywasmediocreis a lord, a matureentrepreneurwill not speak at a ventureatthis time.
本来李东就处于风口浪尖上,这时候自然是平庸为主,一个成熟的企业家是不会在这时候乱说话的。Sure enough, Lialsohas no extraordinaryplaceeast to the speech of getting down.
果不其然,李东接下来的发言也没什么出奇的地方。Perhapsthesemedia and studentswill feelsomewhatdisappointedly, butthesehonored guestactuallyslight bows in chairman's podium.
也许那些媒体和学生们会感到有些失望,而主席台上的这些嘉宾却都微微点头。No matterhaswhatideatoLiDong, orknew,did not know, after all is the alumnuswithschool, everyoneis in the majoritywith the good intentions.
不管对李东有什么想法,或是认识,或是不认识,毕竟是同校的校友,大家还是以善意居多。For these dayswantedin the north of the Changjiang River, knows that thisyoungJunior Brotherfell into the public opiniondisturbancerecently, at this timeLiDongchose the low key, wastheydesired.
这几天只要在江北,就知道这位小师弟最近陷入了舆论风波之中,这时候李东选择低调,也是他们希望看到的。
......
……Inchairman's podium.
主席台上。
The peopleare also talking in whispersto chatLiDong.
众人也在窃窃私语聊着李东。
From the ceremony, Ministerstretch/open who had not spokensaidtonearbySecretaryWusuddenlysmilingly: „Does oldWu, howfeel?”
从典礼开始,一直没怎么说话的张部长忽然笑盈盈地对旁边的吴书记道:“老吴,感觉如何?”SecretaryWusaid with a smilepale: „Fortunately.”
吴书记淡笑道:“还好。”Ministerstretch/openknits the browsslightly, said with a smile: „Younggood, saw that the elementary schoolyounger brotheris high-spirited, the feelingwewere really old.”
张部长微微皱了皱眉,又笑道:“还是年轻好,看到小学弟意气风发,真的感觉我们老了。”SecretaryWuhas not made noise, after a whilesaidlightly: „Woodenshowinforest, the windmustdestroyit!”
吴书记没出声,过了一会才淡淡道:“木秀于林,风必摧之!”Ministerstretch/open the complexionchanges, thenreturns to the original condition saying: „oldWu, wewere old, the idea of young peoplewedo not understandnow. Mustsay that woodenshowinforest, Ilookalsonot necessarily, ourelementary schoolyounger brothersare notthathigh-profileperson.”
张部长脸色微变,接着就恢复原状道:“老吴,咱们老了,年轻人的想法咱们现在也不了解。要说木秀于林,我看也不见得,咱们的小学弟也不是那种高调的人。”SecretaryWusmiledone, is actually not willingto sayagain.
吴书记笑了一声,却是不肯再接话。Ministerstretch/openishisalumnus, two peoplehave to do for dozensyears, the opposite partyanythingthoughtshenaturallyunderstood.
张部长是他的老校友,两人打交道几十年,对方什么心思他自然了解。
The political opinion of Ministerstretch/openhas approachedSecretaryDu, taking the opportunity of thisschool anniversary, delivers the favor done at little or no costtoLiDong, isMinisterstretch/openis willingto do.
张部长的政治主张一直靠近杜书记,借着这次校庆的机会,给李东送个顺水人情,也是张部长愿意做的。Wu Changguois the secretary of politics and law committee, thistimeMinisterstretch/opensaidso manytohim, is only relatedwith the recenttwoarmed assault cases.
吴昌国是政法委的书记,这次张部长之所以跟他说这么多,不外乎和最近的两起枪击案有关。AlthoughLieast fromthinkingflawlessness that oneselfmake, FengJinsonglacks savoir-fairethis/shouldandhimdoes not establish the relations.
尽管李东自认为自己做的天衣无缝,冯劲松的死应该和他搭不上关系。Butthisworldwill never lack the smart person, FengJinsongdeathwas only the overture, a thoroughinvestigation, expandedmanyusefulthings.
可这个世界永远都不缺少聪明人,冯劲松的死亡只是序曲,一番深入调查,其中引申出来不少有用的东西。For exampledownfall of Feng, FengBindeath, evenbeforehandvermilionHongtaobecomes the vegetableaccidentally/surprisingly, as well aspreviouspassednew townland for buildingevent.
比如冯家的倒台,冯斌的死亡,甚至还有之前的朱洪涛意外成为植物人,以及上次已经过去的新城地皮事件。Becauserelated to the LiDonglike thiswell-known entrepreneur, evenalsoinvolves the high level of plainandQingyangandSoviet Angola Municipal CPC Committee, thesecasesgave the officeto be responsible forfinally.
因为涉及到李东这样的知名企业家,甚至还涉及到平川和青阳、苏安市委的高层,这几起案子最后都交给了省厅负责。
The matter of governmentis not the secret, LiDongwas investigatedin secret, the provincial party committeehigh levelalmostknows.
政府的事不是秘密,李东被暗中调查,省委高层几乎都知道。ContinuouslyrumorLiDongandSecretariesDurelatesignificantly, thereforethismatterbecamesomewhatcomplex.
外界又一直风传李东和杜书记关系匪浅,所以这事就变得有些复杂了。Ministerstretch/openspoke the beforehandwords, wantsto makeWu Changguoreduce big problems into little problems, after allheandWu Changguorelateare good, oneselfare the able assistant of SecretaryDu.
张部长之所以说之前的话,也是想让吴昌国大事化小,毕竟他和吴昌国关系还算不错,自己又是杜书记的得力助手。AlthoughSecretaryDuhad not said that butMinisterstretch/openhopes try not to involveonSecretaryDufrom the Lieasterncase.
虽然杜书记没说,可张部长还是希望尽量不要由李东的案子牵扯到杜书记头上。Even ifSecretaryDunotrelated , but once LiDongwas checked, affects is not quite goodonSecretaryDu.
哪怕杜书记没有涉及其中,可一旦李东被查,对杜书记影响也不太好。Moreoverthesecases, reallymustmediateLiDongto have nothing to do, that is also the matter of Wu Changguoa few words, after allLiDonghas not left behind any obvioushandle.
而且这几起案子,真要说和李东无关,那也就是吴昌国一句话的事,毕竟李东并未留下什么明显的把柄。Wu Changguoadvocated that investigatesLiDong, looked likeinMinisterstretch/opensomewhatmakes a fuss over a trifling matter.
吴昌国主张调查李东,在张部长看来就有些小题大做了。Because ofWu Changguo'ssilence, Ministerstretch/openhas not opened the mouthagain, raising a mouthwas good, saidagainappearedoneselfsometo be attentive.
因为吴昌国的沉默,张部长也没再开口,提一嘴就行了,再说就显得自己有些过于殷勤了。Looked uponeto beLiDong who the speechsummarized, Ministerstretch/openslightlydoes not shake the headobviously, hopes that thiselementary schoolyounger brothercanpasssmoothly.
抬头看了一眼正在做发言总结的李东,张部长微不可见地摇了摇头,希望这位小学弟能顺利过关吧。Otherwiseperhapsrelated to the persondisability and murder, thisnamemoved the elementary schoolyounger brother in north of the Changjiang River to fall intolingto be whole.
要不然涉及到致人伤残和谋杀,这位名动江北的小学弟恐怕就得身陷囹囵了。
......
……LiDongspeaks, under the stagebreaks out the warm applause.
李东发完言,台下响起热烈的掌声。
The studentsinterestis resounding, althoughLiDonghas not said any usefulthing, buteveryonedoes not care, joins in the fun.
学生们兴趣高亢,尽管李东没说什么有用的东西,可大家也不是太在意,凑个热闹罢了。LiDongreturns to the seat, the school anniversaryceremonycontinues.
李东回到座位上,校庆典礼继续。Morningschool anniversaryhas nothing worthwhile, actuallyhas no interestingthing, sometrueliteraryperformancesand so on activitywill be heldin the evening, in the evening the riverbigherealsohas a cultural show.
早上的校庆活动乏善可陈,其实没什么有趣的东西,真正的一些文艺汇演之类的活动会在晚上举行,晚上江大这边还有一个文艺晚会。
The honored guest who howeverwhen the time comesparticipates was short, is primarily the student, others and other morningsmovedto finishmajorityalsoon the respectivepowder.
不过到时候参加的嘉宾就少了,以学生为主,其他人等上午活动结束大部分也就各自散了。
The school anniversaryceremonyhas continuedtoalmost12o'clock, finally the ceremonydraws toa closein the riverbigschool songsound.
校庆典礼一直持续到差不多十二点钟,最后典礼在江大的校歌声中落下帷幕。As soon as the ceremonyended, the schooldineson the organizationhonored guests.
典礼一结束,学校这边就组织嘉宾们去就餐。Howeverhasfew people, becausealsohas the matterto be busy, as soon as the activityendedtakes the leadto depart.
不过有一部分人因为还有事要忙,活动一结束就率先离去。Ministerstretch/openandSecretariesWuare the representatives of thesepeople, two peoplewalkpassed bysideLiDong, Ministerstretch/opensmilestowardLiDonghas not spoken.
张部长和吴书记就是这些人的代表,两人走的时候路过李东身边,张部长朝李东笑了笑没说话。Wu Changguo was actually the footstepsstagnated, lookedtoLiDongdao: „LiDongstudies the younger brother, as a school leader, todaycaninthisplacemeet, Iwantto deliverwordstoyou.”
吴昌国却是脚步停滞了一下,看向李东道:“李东学弟,身为学长,今天能在此地相遇,我想送句话给你。”LiDongwensaidsaidhastily: „SecretaryWupleasesay.”
李东闻言连忙道:“吴书记请说。”Wu Changguoslightlyhesitatesobviously, butsaidfinally: „Wordsare not many, only thenfourcharactersset up the bodypositivelyto! Youare young, the multi-experienceswhettoyouare good, usuallyhas the leisuretimereads, the businesssaid that Ido not have the qualificationsto teachyou, otherheartsonly, heartregularbody......”
吴昌国略显犹疑,不过最后还是道:“话不多,只有四个字立身以正!你还年轻,多经历一些磨砺对你有好处,平时有闲暇的时候多看看书,商业之道我没资格教你,其他的无外乎心也,心正则身正……”Speaking ofthisWu Changguoisrealizedprobablysomeownwordswere many, stopped, nodstowardLiDong, departswith stride.
说到这吴昌国大概是意识到自己有些话多了,停顿了一下,朝李东点了点头,大步离去。ButMinisterstretch/open the lookmoves slightly, has not made the exchangewithLiDong, chucklefollowsto depart.
而张部长则眼神微动,也没和李东多做交流,轻笑一声跟着离去。Keepssame placeLiDongto knit the browsslightly, but also is thinking deeply aboutWu Changguojustthose words„to set up the bodyby”, Wu Changguospeciallyandsaid that thiswill definitely not be aimless.
留在原地的李东微微皱了皱眉,还在思索吴昌国刚刚的那句话“立身以正”,吴昌国特意和自己说这个肯定不会是无的放矢。Thinks that thisLiDongdaunderstood the meaning in hiswordsgenerally, wasrejoicedat heartwashelpless.
想到这李东大概明白他话中的意思了,心里又是庆幸又是无奈。ActuallyWu Changguocansaythesewith, already the meanings of sometalk intimatelies on slight acquainta.
其实吴昌国能和自己说这些,已经有些交浅言深的意思了。Todayis the riverbigschool anniversary, todayWu Changguoactsis the status of school leader, thiswordshewill definitely not saytohimself.
要不是今天是江大校庆,吴昌国今天充当的又是学长的身份,这种话他肯定不会对自己说的。LiDongchangshouted the one breath, it seems like before oneself, wasextremelynaive.
李东长呼一口气,看来自己之前还是太过天真了。Ifthinks that the persondoes not know, only ifoneselfdon'tfor.
若想人不知,除非己莫为。In the worldwherehas that does not ventilate, again and againwalkssaid,one daywill be sooner or later beyond redemption.
世上哪有不透风的强,一而再再而三地走偏道,迟早有一天会万劫不复。Nowawakenspromptlyfortunately, LiDonghas not been involved, even ifchecks something, affectsonLiDongis notverybig.
现在及时醒悟还好,李东也没深陷其中,就算查到一些东西,对李东影响也不是很大。Buttheseis all right not representative is also all righttimenexttime, ownstatusis differentat this timein those days, the visionwas indeed narrower.
可这一次没事不代表下一次也没事,自己的身份已经今时不同往日,眼光的确还是狭隘了一些。Alsothinks that Wu Changguowas readbyoneselffinally, LiDongfeelsveryreasonable.
又想到吴昌国最后让自己多看看书,李东觉得挺有道理的。Studyingmakespersonbright, on the materialnot lackanythingnow, in the spiritual levelsomewhatcannot keep up with the level, it seems likethenbuysseveralbooksto be good.
读书使人明性,物质上自己现在不缺什么,精神层面上还是有些跟不上层次,看来回头多买几本书才行。WhileLiDongis thinking the matter, nearbyChenwavewalks saying: „Li does, have the timeto chatseveralin the evening?”
正当李东心里想着事,一旁的陈浪走过来道:“李总,晚上有没有时间聊几句?”LiDongpiehiseyes, the nodsaid: „Ok, Ialsojustwantto chatseveralwithChen.”
李东瞥了他一眼,点头道:“可以,我也正想和陈总聊几句。”Chenwaveshows a faint smile, is preparingto speak, under the stageto/clashesonegroup of reporterssuddenly.
陈浪微微一笑,正准备说话,台下忽然冲上来一群记者。Thesepeoplenoticed that ChenwaveandLiDongare chitchattingtogether, immediatelyeyeonebright, immediatelysomepeopleasked: „Li, Chen, yourtwowithare the alumnus, at the enterpriseis the competitors, haswhatfeelingstotoday'smeeting?”
这些人看到陈浪和李东在一起攀谈,顿时眼睛一亮,马上就有人问道:“李总,陈总,您二位同为校友,事业上又是竞争对手,对今天的会面有何感想?”„Li, Chen, youchitchatsinthisnow, discusses the matter of cooperation?”
“李总,陈总,你们现在在这攀谈,是谈合作的事吗?”„Chen, heard that China Resourcespreparesto enter the north of the Changjiang River, is thismeans that China Resourceswill engage in hand-to-hand combatwith the distant placeimmediately, said that both sideswill cooperate, evenis the merger and acquisition?”
“陈总,听说华润准备进军江北,这是不是意味着华润马上就会和远方短兵相接,还是说双方会进行合作,甚至是并购?”
......
……
The peopleencircleChenwave and LiDongtwopeople, suddenlytwo peoplecannot walk.
众人将陈浪和李东二人团团围住,一时间两人根本走不出去。Fierce that thesereportershave suppressed, beforeLiDongmounted the stageto speak had almost not said that whatusefulthing, everyonesomewhatwas disappointed.
这些记者早就憋的厉害,之前李东上台发言几乎没说什么有用的东西,大家都有些失望。Butnoweveryoneis not disappointed, no mattertodayLiDongandChenwavereplied that theirissues, thenreportedwas goodto write.
可现在大家都不失望了,不管今天李东和陈浪有没有回答他们的问题,回头报道都好写多了。China ResourcesCEOanddistantmanagerprivate talk!
华润ceo和远方老总密谈!China Resourcesenters the north of the Changjiang River, reaches the agreementwith the distant place, both sideswill soon carry out the deeplevelcooperation......
华润进军江北,和远方达成共识,双方即将进行深层次合作……Also two 'srelations, is worththemrecording at length, alumnuswithschool, evenis the samespecializedstudent, 20youngriverbigelitesand20years later riverbigelitescollidemutually, the thing that canwritewere too many.
还有两人的关系,也值得他们大书特书,同校的校友,甚至是同一个专业的学生,二十年轻的江大精英和二十年后的江大精英相互碰撞,能写的东西太多了。Somewhatsharp-eyedevenalsosawWu ChangguoandLiDongtalked.
有些眼毒的甚至还看到了吴昌国和李东谈话。Althoughcannotreportrelated to the official of Wu Changguothislevelcarelessly,mayplayedge ballslightly, that is also the reportage of Botswanan peoplevision.
虽然涉及到吴昌国这种层次的官员不能胡乱报道,可稍微打一下擦边球,那也是博人眼光的新闻报道。
The peopleare full of enthusiasm, wish one couldto go backto reportimmediatelywantonly.
众人兴致勃勃,恨不得马上就回去大肆报道一番。Howevernoweveryonealsowaitsto advocateto speak, ifLiDongandChenwavedisclosedseveralinside stories, thatreportwas more interesting.
不过现在大家还等着正主说话呢,要是李东和陈浪透露几句内情,那报道就更有意思了。
