Chapter 259 ancestor worship
On the other side of the phone.
Dean Cai Changqing of the Business School had a flash of surprise in his eyes, but then he said with relief, "It's a good idea. But don't worry, it's vacation time now. Stay home and spend some time with your parents, relax, and wait until school starts."
"I don't want you to get carried away and affect your career."
"Whether it's Xinsheng Network or Xiaoyao Restaurant, they're just starting out now, and there's still a lot of room for improvement."
"If you want to give back to the school, you have to wait until everything is on track."
Dean Cai's heartfelt words made Pan Yinian feel warm and ashamed.
Pan Yinian touched the tip of his nose, unconscionably, "President Cai, this matter really can't wait."
Dean Cai was surprised and asked, "What do you mean?"
Pan Yinian said, "Now that the country has abolished the guaranteed job placement system, although Nanjing University is a popular university with many vacancies, these places are a drop in the bucket compared to the number of places our graduating students will have. Therefore, I plan to provide a number of jobs for our graduating students."
Upon hearing this, Dean Cai's eyes lit up. "How much are you offering? What kind of position? How much does our business school want? What are the salary packages?"
"Cough cough..."
Pan Yinian touched the tip of his nose and assured with a pat on his chest, "The salary is definitely higher than that of enterprises and institutions, and it's all management level. You can even be guaranteed to work in your registered place of residence."
"..."
Dean Cai was slightly taken aback and cursed, "You kid, you're not looking to hire a network administrator, are you? This thing can be a part-time job, but you're asking a Nanjing University graduate to be your full-time network administrator. Aren't you feeling guilty? Aren't you afraid they'll eat you alive?"
Pan Yinian said, "President Cai, what you said is wrong. People are equal, and jobs are equal, so why do you look down on me? The most important thing is that I pay more, and I am a member of the management team."
Dean Cai, "Management, what the hell? Managing computers?"
Pan Yinian said, "I manage people and computers. Dean Cai, please hear me out first. Each of our Xinsheng online stores has 365 computers. A store of this size requires at least two full-time cashiers, two full-time network administrators, and two waiters. If we switch to part-time staff, the number will at least double."
What I want to recruit are store managers and deputy store managers. The store manager will coordinate everything and focus on cashier and service; the deputy store manager will be responsible for coordinating promotion and focusing on technical support.
Once they take up their posts, they can manage five or six people.
I can even promise that they can continue to look for other jobs without affecting the operation of the Internet cafe, and they can leave their jobs as long as the handover is completed.
Where can I find such a good thing that guarantees a good harvest regardless of drought or flood?"
On the other end of the phone, President Cai fell silent.
After a long while, Dean Cai asked, "Can you guarantee this?"
Pan Yinian, "President Cai, have I ever lied to you?"
Dean Cai, "That's not the case. It's just that I feel that this good thing is not that simple."
Pan Yinian chuckled, "There are indeed prerequisites. Priority will be given to applicants with local household registration in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, and surrounding areas. I will also help Xinsheng Network find a suitable storefront. Once the acceptance is completed, they will be given priority for employment."
"You idiot, are you looking for another free errand boy? You're playing tricks on me. I'm so glad I listened to you."
Dean Cai came to his senses and started cursing.
Pan Yinian said, "President Cai, this is called cultivating corporate sentiment and a sense of ownership in advance..."
Dean Cai, "Get lost..."
Pan Yinian, "President Cai..."
Dean Cai said, "Okay, I'll have each class teacher call each student one by one, okay?"
Pan Yinian said, "Dean Cai, I'm afraid our business school alone doesn't have enough qualified people."
Dean Cai, "Not enough? How many people are you recruiting?"
Pan Yinian, "There are a total of 100 stores in three locations, with a total of 200 store managers and deputy store managers. They will return to school for training early after the New Year."
Dean Cai said in a low voice, "You're so anxious, and on such a large scale. Has something happened?"
Pan Yinian: "Yeah, I was bullied. People are always staring at the rice in my bowl..."
Before Pan Yinian could finish his words, Dean Cai was furious, "Are they still those bastards?"
Pan Yinian: "Yeah."
Dean Cai said, "Okay, very good. You really think that people from Nanjing University are easy to bully, right? Just wait, I'll call the president right now. Don't worry about this matter. Just send me the requirements and I'll take care of it. Also, are you, the old Pan family, going to offer sacrifices to your ancestors?"
Pan Yinian: "Yeah."
Dean Cai, "Wait, the principal and I will go and support you."
Pan Yinian said, "President Cai, there's no need to do this. It's Chinese New Year, and we're going to be here tomorrow..."
Dean Cai, "I'll book a train ticket for tonight..."
After saying that, President Cai hung up the phone.
Pan Yinian looked at Su Ying and touched the tip of his nose, feeling both moved and guilty.
Su Ying gave Pan Yinian a charming look and said, "I'll let you play tricks on me. You can explain it to Dean Cai yourself tomorrow."
Pan Yinian, "Isn't this for you?"
Su Ying turned her head away proudly, "I don't believe it..."
Just as Pan Yinian was about to say something, Mr. Pei called.
Uncle Pei, "It's so hard to call your kid."
Pan Yinian, "Don't I know I'm busy?"
Uncle Pei said, "Alright, regardless of whether you're busy or not, our homeowners' union has discussed going to the sect to participate in your Pan family's ancestral worship ceremony. You should prepare well, as there are quite a lot of people..."
As he spoke, Mr. Pei's voice became much lower.
Pan Yinian blinked and asked, "How much?"
Uncle Pei coughed twice and said, "About three or four hundred people."
Pan Yinian was surprised: "So many? Are all the owners here?"
Uncle Pei, "No, they are usually the owners, usually the veterans from Jinling."
Pan Yinian was slightly startled, then his eyes became hot, "Uncle Pei, please tell them that I will cover their travel expenses and accommodation."
Uncle Pei said, "Pah, we don't need your little money. Use your money to fight the Liu family. We'll charter a plane ourselves. Oh, and you figure out how to get accommodation."
"Row."
……
1999 2 Month 8 Day.
The twenty-third day of the twelfth lunar month.
Northern New Year.
Compared with the busyness of other places and the increasingly strong New Year atmosphere, Pan Village seems particularly heavy.
At the west entrance of the village, black elegiac couplets were hung on both sides of the archway donated by the Wang family of the Pan family in Jinling.
On both sides of the road, from the west end to the east end, the flower baskets avoid the intersections and doorways and extend across the street.
Above the Pan Family Ancestral Hall, black flags fluttered in the wind.
On both sides of the entrance, there are eight war drums, four on each side, with a drum head diameter of more than two meters, arranged in an overall pattern.
Behind the war drums is the war drum team wearing uniform black war drum uniforms.
The scene was grand and solemn.
On this day, all the people in Pan Village got up early, changed into plain clothes, and went to the Panshi Ancestral Hall to help.
Villagers from the surrounding villages also came over spontaneously.
And today, all people with the surname Pan changed into black clothes.
The men all wore black Zhongshan suits with black flowers on their chests.
The women were all wearing May Fourth Youth suits, with black skirts, light blue button-down tops, and white flowers on their chests.
Behind the crowd, Chen Ningning, Qin Yuyan and Qin Qinjie who had hurried over, looked at Su Ying, who was also wearing a May Fourth Youth suit, with eyes full of envy that they could not suppress.
Because, today, only people with the surname Pan can wear this dress.
Su Ying, being able to wear this dress, represents the Pan family's recognition of Su Ying.
In contrast, Liu Qing, who had deliberately arrived a little earlier, looked at Su Ying and Pan Yinian in the crowd, holding hands tightly.
Today, she wants to see whether the Pan family's backbone and courage can withstand this magnificent trend.
Thump thump…thump thump, thump thump…
boom……
Boom boom...
Boom boom boom...
9:13 AM,
Along with the rapid sound of the pipa, eight war drums beat at the same time.
The music of golden swords and iron horses, accompanied by the yellow sand sweeping up from the wheat fields, was like thousands of iron cavalry roaring back and forth on the iron and bloody battlefield.
It's like inspecting troops on the battlefield.
It seems that the King of Qin broke the formation.
Like, the body is wrapped in horsehide...
"This... this is the Formation Breaking Song!!!"
Liu Qing's beautiful eyes opened wide in shock.
This is not just a formation-breaking song, but also a formation-breaking song with a strong Qin and Han Dynasty style.
The composition and style are both from the Qin and Han dynasties.
Even songs from the Book of Songs unconsciously emerged in her mind.
"How can I say that I have no clothes? I share the same robe with you. When the king raised an army, he repaired my sword and spear, and I share the same enemy with you!"
"How can I say that I have no clothes? I am in the same boat with you. When the king raised an army, he repaired my spear and halberd, and I worked together with you!"
"How can I say that I have no clothes? I share the same clothes with you. When the king raised an army, he repaired my armor and soldiers and went with me!"
On the left, Pan Jia Erlang sings a war song and walks forward in a tragic manner, as if he is about to go to the battlefield, or as if he is returning from the battle.
"I pick and pick the tangerine peel, but the basket is not even full. Alas, I miss you, and I walk around in circles."
"Climbing that towering mountain, my horse is saddled with thorns."
"I shall drink from that golden jar, but I will not cherish it forever. I shall ascend that high hill, my horse black and yellow."
"I will drink from that rhinoceros cup for the time being, so as not to suffer permanent harm. Ascending that pit, my horse is exhausted."
"I am a weak servant, how can I cry out?"
On the right, the women of the Pan family sing "Juan Er" in the tune of a war song, which not only expresses the woman's anxious waiting, her longing for her husband and her anticipation of reunion, but also uses the tune of the war song to express the righteousness of family and country buried deep in the hearts of the women of the Pan family.
this moment,
Liu Qing was stunned.
Even Xia Yan and the cameraman team who were invited to shoot and record the scene were stunned.
This... is really a country bumpkin, a peasant in the eyes of those noble people?
This... is really a vulgar person who has no idea about the overall situation of the country and only cares about three meals a day?
Their backgrounds have given them a much broader perspective than most people, and they have witnessed many ancestral worship ceremonies of powerful families.
Can,
Nothing has ever touched the soul so directly.
No one has ever been able to take them into the history that was stained by those years.
No one could make them feel the iron cavalry swept by the yellow sand.
Look, the Pan family is walking slowly.
Look, the villagers around here are spontaneously lining up in neat rows, watching solemnly.
They suddenly realized a problem: the Pan family was definitely not just an ordinary family with no inheritance.
Bang...
boom……
The pipa and the war drums came to an abrupt halt.
All the members of the Pan family stood in front of the main hall of the ancestral hall.
Pan Anbang, Pan Mingshan, and Pan Mingguo, one in front and two behind, walked slowly to the incense table where the three major and minor animals, fruits, and cakes were placed, and lit incense and paper...
"One stick of incense, kowtow, ancestors, please come back."
"Light two sticks of incense, bow upwards, and may your descendants enjoy endless blessings for generations to come."
"Light three sticks of incense, pray with all your heart, and good weather and peace will come to you."
"kneel!!!"
wow...
Boom boom boom...
Accompanied by the three people's unison shouts and the heavy sound of war drums, all the members of the Pan family knelt on the ground in an orderly manner.
"A glass of wine, respectfully presented, please enjoy, ancestors."
"Two pieces of paper money, the fire is raised, the filial sons and grandsons offer clothes."
"Three firecrackers, light them after kneeling, so that our descendants will never forget..."
