Chapter 144 Walk your own path!
"How did you come?"

Opening the door to let Shen Juncheng in, Li Changhe asked with some surprise.

"I'm here to treat you to a meal. Shall we go out to eat together later?"

Shen Juncheng came in and said with a smile.

Li Changhe waved his hand: "Forget it, I won't go to eat. I just finished eating at Cuihualou at noon."

"Just tell us what's going on at home!"

"Well, pay me back!"

"I couldn't get the money and food coupons I asked you for last time, so I'll just count them as money and give you 500 yuan. We'll make a profit."

The price at which national food coupons were sold was not fixed. For example, in the 1960s, when food was in short supply, the value of national food coupons was very high. Someone even exchanged 20 kilograms of national food coupons for a bicycle.

Food is not so scarce now, but national food coupons are still a rare commodity and hard currency.

Shen Juncheng converted Li Changhe's food coupons into three hundred yuan, which was actually not a high price.

But neither of them cared. The amount of money was just an excuse.

"Do you have enough?"

Li Changhe looked at Shen Juncheng handing over a stack of money and asked with a smile.

"You know what, the method of the copper and iron Buddha you mentioned is really quite profitable."

"Just be careful and don't get caught speculating and profiteering."

"That's one of the reasons why I came to you today."

"Changhe, what do you say about me transferring to the District GA Bureau?"

Shen Juncheng asked Li Changhe seriously at this time.

Li Changhe looked at him in surprise: "GA Bureau?"

"Correct!"

At this time, Shen Juncheng took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and was about to light it subconsciously, but then he thought of something and threw it on the table.

"Forget it, I won't smoke anymore."

"That's what happened. Didn't you tell me last time to teach our Buddha a lesson?"

"We washed one for the first time, but we didn't expect to get a big one."

"That guy stole the salary of a nearby primary school's finance department. We didn't dare to keep so much money, so we just sent it all to the Haidian GA Bureau."

"Then the school behind us presented a banner to our unit, and I received an award."

"Then, Zhou Wanjun, the Section Chief of the Second Section of the GA Bureau who was handling this matter at the time, seemed to have taken a liking to me and wanted to transfer me to the GA Bureau!"

"I'm just hesitating. I haven't decided whether to go or not, so I wanted to come and discuss it with you."

"Come, drink tea!"

"Hey, thank you!"

At this time, Zhu Lin brought the brewed tea to Shen Juncheng and Li Changhe, and Shen Juncheng hurriedly thanked him.

"What did my uncle say?"

Li Changhe did not answer directly, but asked Shen Juncheng's family for their opinion first.

Shen Juncheng shook his head: "What opinions can they have? It's all work anyway."

"My dad thinks it doesn't matter where I work, it depends on me. My mom thinks the Chinese Academy of Sciences is better than the GA Bureau, there's less work and it's safer."

In the past few years, the main task of the GA Bureau was to capture enemy spies. Many of the enemy spies were armed and desperate.

Therefore, Shen's mother's concerns are not unreasonable. The GA Bureau is definitely not as safe as the Security Department of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

"Personally, I think the CAS Security Department is a bit boring."

"This isn't a big factory, it's basically just a research institute. If you say it's important, it's important, but if you say it's not important, it's just that simple."

"I personally prefer to go to the GA bureau, and there is an important reason."

"Do you think the investigation of speculation and profiteering has anything to do with GA? If I'm in the GA bureau, at least we'll be safer about the matter of the Bronze and Iron Buddha."

Shen Juncheng whispered his thoughts to Li Changhe.

Li Changhe looked at him speechlessly.

You kid, with your thick eyebrows and big eyes, want to get into the organization.

But to be honest, if you really get into the Haidian GA Bureau, there will be no problem with the crackdown in a few years. It's very safe, after all, you are one of us.

To be frank, he could even protect those childhood friends.

There is no way. It’s not that Shen Juncheng has to be a protective umbrella, but this is the general trend in the country in this era.

The GA work in the 1980s was actually not easy, because at that time many of their powers and responsibilities overlapped with the security departments of local factories and departments, and both sides had certain law enforcement powers.

So many times, other departments don’t give GA face, and GA has no way to deal with it.

The most typical example is the Ministry of Railways. It is not called the "Big Boss of Railways" for nothing. It has a complete range of internal departments, from the railway's own GA Bureau to the Railway Procuratorate to the Railway Court. It has all kinds of departments inside, and it is difficult for outside law enforcement agencies to get in.

If something happens to the children of railway employees, you will have to haggle for a long time just over the law enforcement power, but if it is handled by internal people, the result of the trial is self-evident.

Some railway workers these days enjoy a full set of benefits within the railway from birth to death, and have no contact with the outside world at all. They are so arrogant.

And to be honest, the overall funding for GA will be tight in the next twenty years. Although the overall status of the department is constantly rising, the treatment is actually very average.

However, Li Changhe was not very worried because they were in Haidian, Zhongguancun.

As the first core technology area to become popular in the country, there are actually more opportunities here.

This is also where Li Changhe is a little unsure.

If the security department of an ordinary place was transferred to the GA Bureau, Li Changhe would definitely think it was not a good deal. The security department was still very popular in the 1980s.

But in their place, Haidian, apart from other things, is still an agricultural area now. But in a few years, when Zhongguancun rises, Haidian's status will rise sharply and it will become one of the top districts in the country.

Under such a general trend, it is not impossible for someone like Shen Juncheng to take advantage of the situation and rise to prominence.

"Well, here's how I see it. First of all, your own opinion. For example, do you like this job as a GA?"

"If you like it, go. If you don't like it, stay at CAS. Like my aunt said, being a GA is still dangerous. Many criminals are desperate."

"Second, it's about the future. Forget it. We'll talk about the future later. There's no point in talking about it now."

"Don't forget it. Just tell me what you want to do in the future. Don't keep me in suspense by saying half the words."

Seeing that Li Changhe was halfway through his words, Shen Juncheng felt helpless.

This guy is good in everything except that he likes to keep people in suspense.

Li Changhe sighed: "Okay, I want to say that if you choose the GA path, go back and think carefully about whether you can withstand the temptation in the future."

"For example, what if someone who makes millions or tens of millions a year gives you money? What should you do?"

"Some people, in order to make you bend the law for personal gain, deliberately use beauty to seduce you. Can you resist?"

"For example, if one day Men Saner gets into trouble and finds you, asking you to protect him, will you protect him?"

"These are the problems that a GA has to face. You should think about them first."

Hearing Li Changhe's words, Shen Juncheng shook his head.

"Changhe, what are you talking about? A rich man who makes millions a year is not a capitalist. Can our country allow that?" Shen Juncheng didn't really believe it at this time, and his thoughts actually represented the thoughts of many people.

In the future, many people will suddenly find that the environment they have lived in for decades has changed. They are still earning a few dozen yuan a month, while people outside are earning hundreds of millions or even tens of millions a year.

The gap in social change makes it difficult for many people to adapt and even causes them to become unbalanced mentally, making it difficult for them to stick to their original intentions.

"In fact, it will only be a few months away. It will probably be announced by the end of the year. The country will reform and the focus of future development will be on economic development."

"For example, the private economy may be partially liberalized, and then someone will definitely make a lot of money."

"Of course, it's still a little early for you. After all, even if you go now, you'll just be an ordinary civilian, and you can't become a cadre."

"As long as you don't break the law, there will still be a chance even if you correct it later."

The reason why Li Changhe didn't want to say it just now was that Shen Juncheng would have the opportunity to make another choice later.

In the late 1980s, the country encouraged people to go into business, and many civil servants resigned to go into business. At that time, Shen Juncheng could have made the same choice.

"Anyway, you should think carefully about what I said when you get back. It's useless to talk about other things. What's most important is what suits you best."

"If you think you like doing this job as a GA, then go for it. If you don't like it, then don't go."

"Of course, there is one more thing you have to think about. If you go, it is best to transfer your file directly instead of going on a secondment."

"Don't spend several years fighting for others, only to find that your relationship with them is still with the Chinese Academy of Sciences. When they achieve merit and get promoted, you won't get a chance. That would be embarrassing."

Li Changhe reminded Shen Juncheng again.

Shen Juncheng nodded: "I know this, I will definitely not go on secondment."

The two chatted for a while, and seeing that Li Changhe was not planning to go out for dinner, Shen Juncheng got up and left.

After Shen Juncheng left, Zhu Lin came out and asked curiously, "Why, from what you guys said, he wants to be a JC?"

"From what he said, it seems like he wants to go. Whether he goes or not is up to him."

Li Changhe said with a smile.

He estimated that Shen Juncheng would go. In fact, his tendency was already very obvious in his words.

Although Li Changhe also thought about arranging him to be a tool, but after all, everyone is an independent individual and they will not listen to what you say.

This also highlights the importance of human leadership.

"By the way, he paid me back some of the money. You can keep it."

Li Changhe then handed the five hundred yuan on the table to Zhu Lin.

I spent more than 1,500 yuan today, and still had 500 kilograms of food coupons, but now I have got back 500 yuan.

There is both income and expenditure, which is not bad.

Zhu Lin picked up the money and put it into the house.

It is not popular to deposit money in the bank nowadays. Firstly, most people don’t have much money. Secondly, even if they have money, they won’t go there. After all, being rich is a sin and being poor is glorious.

So the money is basically kept and hidden at home, and you take out as much as you need.

"Let's not go out this afternoon."

"If I don't go out, I plan to take a nap. When it's time, call me!"

After coming out, Zhu Lin gave instructions to Li Changhe.

Although he slept a little longer in the morning, he went out shopping and strolled around for a long time, so Zhu Lin felt a little tired again.

It’s a good opportunity to catch up on some sleep in the afternoon and then get up later.

In the evening, she had to go find Gong Xue, and the two of them reviewed their acting skills.

"Okay, go to sleep, I'll call you later!"

Li Changhe nodded in agreement.

In the afternoon, Zhu Lin taught Gong Xue acting, and Li Changhe usually followed, mainly for safety reasons.

My wife alone is eye-catching enough, and with Gong Xue added to the mix, the two of them are even more eye-catching together.

It is difficult to say about the social security at this time. Normally there is nothing to worry about, but if there is something to worry about, it is a big one.

Afterwards, Zhu Lin went into the house to rest.

Li Changhe sat there bored, then he went into the room, sat in front of the desk and picked up a pen.

Although he doesn't have many manuscript assignments now, Li Changhe finds that his brain is still too active and he likes to come up with stories when he has nothing to do.

This is a habit brought over from the previous life. I'm used to writing. It's okay not to write occasionally, but I can't stand not writing all the time.

So recently Li Changhe came up with a new idea, he wanted to write a long novel.

I'm not in a hurry to post it, I write it in a discontinuous manner.

Compared to those short stories, novels are actually his forte.

But he still needs to think carefully about this matter and decide what direction to write in.

After all, a novel must have a main storyline, and it would be inappropriate to give it some inspirational quotes.

If the ups and downs of the plot are to be in line with this era, they basically have to have joys and sorrows, separations and reunions. This is quite different from the cool stories he wrote in his previous life.

Li Changhe just has an idea now, he is not in a hurry and will write it slowly.

When the reform is announced at the end of the year, the scope of what can be written will be wider, and there will be more content that can be added.

Li Changhe was spinning the pen subconsciously out of boredom, then turned his head and looked at Zhu Lin who was lying there sleeping with his eyes closed, and suddenly an idea came to him.

Write some jokes for them and let them practice their acting skills.

Think about it, what kind of paragraph should I write?

He didn't watch many movies from the 1980s, but he did watch two comedies, such as "The Escape Plan" and "Sanmao Joins the Army".

Or a period drama? "Blood Romance"? "The World"?
Li Changhe recalled some of the plots in the film and felt that they were very ordinary, mainly because many social phenomena were not yet present.

Forget it, let’s not write about those high-end ones. With Zhu Lin and Gong Xue’s current level, they can’t perform that kind of high-end explosive acting.

If they were really asked to act out a role of “climbing step by step to the top and becoming Zhao Gao”, I guess they would not be able to do it.

So, Li Changhe decided to write a few simple scenes for them to practice.

So, at about five o'clock, when Zhu Lin was woken up by Li Changhe, she was a little surprised to see the manuscript that Li Changhe handed to her.

"what is this?"

Zhu Lin took it curiously and started to read it.

After a moment, a hint of surprise appeared in his eyes.

Li Changhe wrote some character segments for them.

"I wrote this just now because I was bored. You can try to play these roles later and then analyze them."

"In fact, acting is nothing more than practice. The more you practice, the better you will be."

The actors who came out of drama troupes in later generations were all of good level, because they would perform a drama dozens or even hundreds of times, and many roles would be played repeatedly, so their level would naturally be high.

"Well, let's try it later!"

Zhu Lin nodded and held the manuscript as if he had found a treasure!
