Bandit Shi Xianyu

Later, when Shi Yuanchen was thinking about why Pei Cangyu called him that night, he finally got an explanation.

On the day he met Fei Zuohua and Tu Ziyun, when he left, Shi Yuanchen took away the information about Pei Cangyu.It was only when he took a shower at night and put on his glasses comfortably to read today's manuscript that he realized this mistake. Fortunately, he saved his phone number and called, but it never got through.Presumably, the number was stored wrongly, it was not Fei Zuohua's number, it was Pei Cangyu's number, because the business card was stacked on top of the information, Shi Yuanchen was absent-minded when he read it, and made a mistake.

This can explain Shi Yuanchen's confusion when he received Pei Cangyu's phone call.

That night should have belonged to Shi Yuanchen. "White Dust"'s research on suburban crime footprint tracking based on the GARCH walk model has won many awards in the field. Although this type of method is basically poorly used in econometrics, but If you choose the right angle, you can make some sense in this field.Not only did the laboratory receive more academic donations, but Shi Yuanchen was also invited to unveil the joint laboratory of the University Police Department to be built in the city.

That night was a warm-up, because many people thought that Shiraishi would appear, so there were quite a lot of people coming. Rather, it is normal for non-academic forum dinners to be crowded.

——Thinking of this, Shi Yuanchen paused and changed his words.No, academic forums are just as complicated.

All in all, a lot of people went there that night, and if one is keen on class divisions, one can say that there were a lot of celebrities, people from all walks of life.

The first to come were journalists.After they came, they looked around and chose an entry point for the beginning of the report, such as "the expensive Hippo salmon, after coming down from the port, went straight to the dinner party in Dongqishan, the fish meat after many customs, in the fresh ice Here, ready to stand out and dedicate to today's dinner. The dinner is hosted by xx, xx...", or "at eight o'clock in the evening (or some other time), in the eyes of the public, xx...", or "xx University xx (position) xxx today..." Such a topic...

——Forgive Shi Yuanchen, he is not a professional journalist after all, and his reading is really limited.

But among the professional journalists, the school magazine reporter has the most sense of superiority.A student in a prestigious school, as the lintel of the school, if he plays a role in its organization, he can cultivate the bones of a famous brand at a young age. This bone must be exposed and attract people's attention, but not too much. Obviously, otherwise it will appear empty-headed.So he occasionally wears the school uniform, and when he doesn't wear it, he says in disgust that my x school uniform is ugly, and the spirit is on the word "I", but the disgust is so real, as if this school uniform appeared in front of him, he It can be shredded on the spot.Of course, there is limited room for honor students in the school. If it is not for their ability, the lintel of the school belongs to everyone-this time it is the turn of the lintel of the department.But generally speaking, the best battlefield for honorable students is still on the online platform. It would be even better if he had some online identities. He will become a little successful behind many screens, and occasionally post news about his alma mater. , followed by some of my own "unique" observations to find a suitable high ground for my own debate, and to attack dissidents safely and indiscriminately, which is especially effective against young people.Those who are smarter will not be so straightforward. Their identity certificates and the influence of their arguments are very far apart. It is so long that when you mention him, you think of school. Yes, at least after a few years of exams, no matter how bad the theory is, most of them can be logically self-consistent.

These school magazine reporters sat in the middle of the press box, looking very polite, saying hello to every senior reporter who came, their words revealing the closeness of the same kind with a pen, but with the fantasy of being still on campus. Naive and proud with a bright future, the staff of the student union wear school vests, serve tea and water, and are busy. At this moment, I have to sigh with emotion, why did I apply for the school association when I entered school, and join the school magazine to play with a professional camera.

Young school magazine reporters and other reporters introduced each other maturely, and then separated. After all, they couldn’t get together. Chat with a senior reporter who looks interesting, trying to find a new way out under his deadly professional prospect.

Then came some little guys from big companies.

Then came some quants, investors, and big names in some firms who were not considered small companies in terms of rank but were very rich.

Afterwards came the professors, who entered the stage mixed with the above-mentioned characters, and Shi Yuanchen was among them.

Then came the big shots of big companies and the clean and honest.

It must be easy to see that although this is "a night about Shi Yuanchen", he is just a character with a fixed drama. If it is really counted, the one above is aimed at the school and Bai's, and the one in the middle They are here for Baishi, the people below...no one cares what they are here for.

Vanity Fair.

Logically speaking, this kind of world should have nothing to do with academics like Shi Yuanchen, but, as long as it is a circle, it is always the same.But honestly speaking, this kind of gathering is much better than the charity dinner that a friend often holds. That friend often has various excuses to hold a banquet. The last time was for abused children. On the 98th floor, everyone walks on two legs. Women's lips are plump and can be broken by blowing bullets. They can't eat too much after surgery. Men's gold watches have to be covered up after showing off here. A mountain is more expensive than a mountain. High mountains, floor-sweeping dresses, towers of champagne, artificial meat-vegetarians, artificial carrots-art, artificial noses, artificial hair, artificial laughter, artificial penises hidden in Under the lamp, it echoes with the artificial fragrance, and they will always collide with each other after the lamp is dark.

After a banquet, it cost three times as much to raise donations, but it has cultivated sentiments, and there will be another one soon.

Shi Yuanchen is not suitable for that kind of place. This kind of occasion is better. If you must ask why, it is because most, most of them are part-time workers in this occasion.More expensive migrant workers, just like him.

Shi Yuanchen's background, compared to the top is not not enough, compared to the bottom, there is more than enough, it is probably such a position.

His parents are both professors, tenure-track, retired, and have a carefree life. His two sons, Shi Yuanchen and an older brother, were born in this city, and they have basically won over most of the people in the country. Most people in the city, but generally can't talk about these things, and everyone is unhappy when they talk about it.Talking about his own history of struggle, it is quite glamorous. He graduated from a prestigious university, went to the United States with a doctorate, double degrees, double certification from the United States and Israel, and was a mentor in the industry. He appreciates him, as can be seen from pulling him to build "White Dust" .Distinguished expert, young professor, single and rich, personable.

Apart from these, Shi Yuanchen himself is actually a very rare person.

Perhaps because of professional reasons, he has met many people. When he was 30 years old, he understood one thing, that is, he was the group of people who were favored.It may be impolite to say this, but Shi Yuanchen thinks it is not easy to realize this. Some people will never consider themselves lucky in their entire lives. The world is not enough for them. All he has is relying on Brought by a strong will and tenacious struggle—of course, the upper bounds of people with such thoughts are not too high.

Shi Yuanchen had this epiphany because he found that he was in a just right position.The setbacks he suffered are just right, so that he will not be depressed, nor will he be ignorant of the heights of the sky and the earth, but just enough to allow him to maintain a positive attitude, persist in giving and working hard, believe that most of the efforts will be rewarded, and pass this concept to others. Later generations, like handing over the torch and pinning hope.The cold reception and hardships he suffered were just right, so that he would not be alone and helpless, and would not let him walk in the winter snow with a limp, just enough for him to judge good and evil with humility.Because he has seen defeated people, Shi Yuanchen understands that it is easy for people to be defeated. Mental strength is not the most important reason, but fate is. Destiny polishes the psychology and determines people, not the other way around.

Maybe saying this is not in line with the attitude that a scientific scientist should have, but Shi Yuanchen believes that "if fate wants to deal with people, people will not even have the power to fight back."This sentence came from his observation of the abandoned city for a year.But he also understands that most people are far from the special situation of working against fate. If they are not mediocre or sick, then doing things quietly will be rewarded, because most people are experiencing "just right", otherwise That fire has been cut off long ago.

"Just right" polished Shi Yuanchen, and also polished the people in this dinner party.

There was a metaphor before, saying that a cruel society smoothes out the edges and corners of people, and makes people round, and everyone is no longer the original hopeful self.

This is really wronging the society. Anyone who grinds a stone will know that the edges and corners are still there, and the debris is still there. It takes more work to grind it into a round shape. People don't let people suddenly shatter.Those stones that have been split into pieces are the waste products of society, and they will always maintain their sharp edges and corners, cutting through every hand that tries to hold them, until they are buried alone in the sand and no one comes to find them.

Shi Yuanchen walked towards an exceptionally round stone. He was not only white, but also really round. This is the manager of the Bai Family Fund. Like most people tonight, he is a worker in a gold suit with a glamorous face. Curriculum Vitae, humorous conversation, shrewd eyes and expensive watches.

The administrator is talking to someone else.The two people next to me were talking about two recent projects, one sponsoring energy, the other sponsoring coffee making, one starting from a bitter undertaking, and one who had never done modeling and used excel at most.The energy guy is very envious of the coffee guy: "It's not like our group, who has to run all the way into the mountains." The coffee guy smiled with a drink in his hand: "You don't want to go, why are you panicking? Besides, we also run, so we don't have to go and see Is it the place of origin? Look at my arm, Colombia gave me a bald tan." The energy man was still envious: "Damn, this tour is good, besides, how much do you charge, it's scary." He said and turned to the manager: "Has the Bai family entered?"

The manager smiled: "More or less."

Then we chatted about the new regulations, and occasionally dragged two industry researchers to say a few words. Star researchers can say a few words, and they are a little more humble in front of investment banks. Most of the quantitative science and engineering majors come from physics and computers. The most fancy golden attitude in the industry, a few words will inevitably show timidity, fund management and banks get money, PB's move forward, and institutions' a little bit behind - this is not their market, but I always listen to this with a smile Listen to that, the scene is very harmonious.

They are very interesting, although everyone agrees that substituting a word in a Chinese sentence with English is to save time, but if someone replaces the "wrong" word, it will quickly attract attention, and sometimes they are good at substituting someone's English word , to judge his level.Of course, it's obviously not necessary here.

They chatted about the cafeteria of a certain university, and they talked about the one they liked the most. Someone mentioned one, and someone who didn’t know him on the other side asked him which class, and he replied that it was xx class, and everyone frowned. , Our memory is too bad, we should be punished for drinking, which dormitory do you live in?

The man hurriedly replied that he was a graduate student, and his undergraduate degree was not available.

Everyone oh oh oh oh oh, there are too many ohs, the latter ohs are superfluous, but they are meaningful, no oh no.

When Shi Yuanchen came, the manager exchanged some pleasantries with him, and the two quickly had an atmosphere of wanting to chat privately, and everyone dispersed one after another, going elsewhere.

The manager took the wine from the plate of the passing waiter, handed a glass to Shi Yuanchen, and asked about the health of the family members.

Next, Shi Yuanchen answered politely, and then changed the subject: "Actually, I also have something to ask you. I don't understand the fund business."

"You say you say, as long as I can help."

"The Shi family has some savings, parents and us, but we are really blind to investment. You manage the family fund. Do you have any suggestions in this regard?"

The manager understood it as soon as he heard it. He looked at Shi Yuanchen, let out an ah, and laughed: "Hey, I'm in this line of work. If you don't mind me, just tell me. Can you listen to me?"

"Of course, of course."

"That's right." The manager stretched out a hand, trying to clarify the concept in the air, "This family fund is usually owned by one family, such as the Bai family. In addition to the company's assets, their personal assets are very considerable. They set up a separate fund. The scale is also relatively large, and many public offerings and private placements can’t compare, it’s not a question of the amount of entry, it’s a question of special accounts.”

Shi Yuanchen probably understood the meaning of the manager, and found that the manager was quite polite, and specially used extremely simple language, without the intention of showing off.

The manager continued: "But I agree. For a person of Professor Shi's status, investment and financial management are very important. Just buying products is not worth it. I have a chat with you. I have some friends. If you want, I can Let me introduce you," the manager winked with a bit of polite pleasure.

Shi Yuanchen also smiled.

All in all, Shi Yuanchen's money is not enough.

Shi Yuanchen didn't feel anything, they were acquaintances, and the manager had always been respectful and polite to him.Shi Yuanchen himself is also a very picky person, he doesn't like people very much, and he doesn't show it too much, but he is not hostile to people, a little reserved and arrogant, which is more of a joke.

But the next action made Shi Yuanchen feel bad.

That was when someone came to call Shi Yuanchen to prepare him for playing. Shi Yuanchen nodded and turned to leave. The manager crossed his arm across his back and patted his other arm. It was a slightly inward position. , if it is an analogy, it seems that when the elder sees the younger generation that he is satisfied with, he takes a little encouraging action.

Shi Yuanchen was stunned for a moment, because the manager was actually much younger than him.

The manager smiled a little happier than before. If it wasn't for Shi Yuanchen's professional research on this, he might not take it seriously, but the pride and condescension in that smile made Shi Yuanchen sincerely Feeling disgusted, he realized that under the kind and mellow appearance of his acquaintance, this person was actually very mean.

Forget it, everyone is similar, Shi Yuanchen doesn't feel that he is any better, so naturally he doesn't take it to heart.

He went to the stage.

While waiting for the host to introduce, Shi Yuanchen's cell phone rang, he put down his wine glass and answered the phone.

The signal is not very good, but the voice is very clear, the voice is hoarse and rough, panting heavily, as if there is no next breath.

The strange voice said: "I... I'm dying..."

Hearing such a sentence suddenly made Shi Yuanchen's heart skip a beat. He took away the phone and glanced at the caller ID. It was Fei Zuohua, but it wasn't Fei Zuohua's voice. He was a little angry: "Is it a prank?" ?”

The voice repeated again: "I'm dying..."

Shi Yuanchen hung up the phone.

There were still bursts of applause around, dedicated to the host's humor, but the voice could not be dispelled in Shi Yuanchen's heart. It was a very desperate voice, so desperate that Shi Yuanchen could feel a chill when he heard it from afar. I only heard it from the mouths of people who were really dying, the poor, the sick, the old and the disabled living next to each other in the abandoned city, the murderer who confessed at the end of his life, and the patient who gave his last words.

The phone rang again, Shi Yuanchen knew it might be him, but still answered it, he said: "No matter who you are, please don't call again."

The joke isn't funny, the game isn't fun.

But the voice is very persistent: "My last words are..."

Shi Yuanchen stopped, and the host's speech over there was over. During the last burst of applause, the host looked at him and signaled him to come on stage with his eyes.

But Shi Yuanchen frowned, just listening to the other party's breathing, he was waiting for the last words, and he couldn't make up the last words for jokes.

But it couldn't be said there.

The host finally couldn't hold back and walked over: "Professor Shi, are you ready?"

Look, it really is a prank.

Shi Yuanchen hung up the phone.

He walked onto the stage, smiling gracefully, unbuttoning his suit to make himself look more relaxed, he took out his speech from the inner lining, but it could be unscripted, just a little pretentious, he looked at the color of the audience Round stones of various shapes began his congratulations.

The atmosphere at the venue couldn't be better. Everyone laughed and congratulated. They are very well-educated people and well-educated people.

Last words...

Shi Yuanchen turned over with a smile, he forgot what he had written.

What does it mean to have no last words...

Shi Yuanchen paused for a moment, then smiled apologetically, glanced quickly, found the place where it stopped, and picked it up.

It means that there is no one to entrust, no one to account for.If this number is wrong, it can only be one person.

the orphan.

Pei Cangyu.

Shi Yuanchen stopped completely.

He was silent, and the audience also waited quietly. After realizing the length of the silence, there were slightly messy voices.

Shi Yuanchen smiled immediately, hurriedly concluded his speech, and left the stage amidst applause.

He quickly walked down the steps and called Babu, but the people from Babu told him that he was a little busy today, please don't contact if it's not urgent.Shi Yuanchen asked Pei Cangyu, and the other party told him that he didn't know for the time being, let's talk about it later.

Shi Yuanchen looked at the phone, and felt that it was not a big deal.

He comforted himself that everything was still with the police.

Until he came home at night and saw the news in the midnight breaking news.

"The leader of the dark fire group, Ding Chuan, murdered the deputy director of the Metropolitan Police Department."

"Ding Chuan massacred nine hospital staff and attacked the nursing police, resulting in one death and one injury. The wounded are still awake."

"Baishi attacked the criminal police and escaped from supervision."

"Baishi, the head of the Bai family, may be the murderer behind the murder case. The assets under Bai's name are frozen, and the Bai's enterprise is officially under investigation."

"Multiple industries under Bai's name plummeted after the opening of x shares."

……

Shi Yuanchen looked at the number in his hand.
