Knight of the Blue Lagoon (The Past of Tao v)

5. Desperate Point

Dao Zhi thought of the treatment plant and looked up the company where Meng's father worked on the Internet. The person in charge of the company is Zhang Guo, an outstanding entrepreneur, a pioneer in entrepreneurship, a district and city representative, a state councilor, an advanced worker, an outstanding female representative, a promoter of urban construction, a vice chairman of the Federation of Industry and Commerce... he has more than a dozen titles.

Seeing her many honors, Daozhi looked up her struggles. Zhang Guo was born in poverty, with seven brothers and sisters in her family. She was the only one in her village who went to college at that time. She studied finance and economics in college and was very diligent. After graduation, she was assigned to a paper factory. She was not satisfied with a mediocre job. After the reform and opening up, She switched jobs to a joint venture. She was very ambitious. After working for a short period of time, in the mid-1980s, she came to Hong Kong alone with several thousand yuan she had saved. She started a paper business by taking advantage of Hong Kong's environmental protection policies and tax incentives. The business, coupled with its own capital operation capabilities, developed quickly in Hong Kong. In the early 1990s, I came to the United States with the American dream in mind. Soon after, I returned to the mainland as a Hong Kong businessman to seek cooperation. I built many factories in various places, from raw material processing to finished product processing, and slowly expanded. The factory is the first, and the paper mill next to it is the most important one, and it is also the headquarters of the enterprise.

The story of Zhang Guo is very legendary. It is a typical example of hard work and daring in that era. Her success has allowed her to occupy a seat on the rich list all year round. She was once the richest woman. Of course, the title is indispensable. It can be said that she has taken all the honors and become a generation enterprise. A role model for family learning. In recent years, with the rise of real estate and the Internet, her business status has declined.

After class the next morning, Daozhi came to the industrial area and walked around. The factory area is not small. In addition to Zhang Guo's factory, there are many other factories. According to reports, Zhang Guo was the first to build a factory here. Yes, the chimney of the treatment plant is very high, but there is no gas emission. The surrounding area has been changed due to the establishment of the factory. The nearby bus station is named Paper Mill Station because of the factory. The industrial zone has indeed brought considerable development to the area..

After returning home, Daozhi searched carefully for information about the paper mill on the Internet. The paper mill was a key leading enterprise in the city and one of the first companies to attract investment. It enjoyed huge discounts at the time and became a local benchmark, providing many local jobs. It was also the first to build welfare housing and settle down for employees. Private enterprises, at that time a large number of young people from rural areas came to work in paper mills in order to enter the city. The company has won many domestic awards for outstanding contributions to promoting regional development. It was once the company with the most satisfied employees for several consecutive years, the most popular private enterprise in the city, and one of the top 500 manufacturing companies... I learned from Meng Lili that the salary of employees is higher than The local average salary is high, and the factory's benefits are also quite good. In the past, a lot of daily necessities such as firewood, rice, oil, and salt would be distributed during the Chinese New Year and festivals. The employee residential area is near the factory and is a self-built commercial building in the factory. After working for a certain number of years, It was sold to employees at a slightly higher price than the construction cost, and the price was only half the market price at that time.

In order to improve air quality and reduce smog, environmental protection has been vigorously promoted in recent years. Zhang Guo is very active in environmental protection. According to reports on major websites, Zhang Guo is also an advocate of safe and environmentally friendly production. The machines are the most advanced imported and he advocates frugality. and recycling, and has been named an environmental pioneer. Zhang Guo is a frequent guest in the media and often talks with experts, scholars and entrepreneurs. Once on the program, he shouted:"Life and green embrace, people and ecology coexist... If you forget about environmental protection, you will not be able to make paper." Appeared on major media The media headlines made her famous, and from then on the company's slogan became 'If you forget about environmental protection, you can't make paper'. She was also the spokesperson of her company and became a smash hit.

Dao Zhi finally persuaded Meng's father to go to the hospital and paid for the hospitalization in advance. Some time later, Meng Lili came to see Daozhi again. The doctor said that her father had missed the best period for treatment and his condition had worsened during this time at home. The doctor recommended a bone marrow transplant. If he did not have a transplant, there would be at most one year left, even if the transplant success rate was low. Only about 50%. Bone marrow transplantation costs a lot of money, and medical insurance can only cover part of it, and subsequent specific drugs are not covered by medical insurance.

After walking out of the hospital building, Meng Lili collapsed on a bench in the park and couldn't help crying. Dao Zhi sat aside. For such a girl, this was an unbearable weight, which was far beyond her age. And it is still getting worse. Her body is slowly getting colder, and her heart is withering. How can a young heart wither? This is a helpless era in this era, and it is still an era of helplessness.

"what to do? what do I do?……"Meng Lili kept repeating in a low voice.

Meng Lili sat for a long time, her eyes dull, her tears dripping on the bench, soaking until there was nothing left to shed. She slowly raised her head and looked around. She really wanted to be like these flowers and trees. Even though they would wither, at least there was hope. As long as they survived the winter, they would bloom. She also saw the leaves lying on the ground, even the fallen leaves. Reliance seems to be a luxury for her. Then her heart calmed down, and the space in front of her was infinite. Various buildings were lined up in rows, but there was no place for her eyes to rest. It became more and more hollow, as if her soul had been hollowed out and then discarded on the roadside. She remained motionless.

A leaf fell from before her eyes. Even leaves can be so free and easy. She raised her eyes and looked into the distance. There was a light on a tall building. In this cold steel forest, that light seemed to be the only warmth. She thought of her sister, Zeng Jin. The warmth comes to mind. She used to envy her sister and learn from her in everything, but now she is even more envious. She wants to be like her sister and want her to be by her side. There must be no pain over there, and maybe that's the best option. When people are desperate, their hearts will gradually become calmer and calmer, but their actions will become extremely extreme.

From a psychological perspective, one-third of people who want to self-destruct take no more than 5 minutes to make a decision. They are impulsive. These people often do not have many symptoms and their behavior is usually caught off guard. As long as they are in these 5 minutes, If there are no conditions for action within a few minutes, you will give up after that. This kind of thought will come and go quickly. The other two-thirds will think about it for about 2 hours. After a period of thinking, these people will be in a high-risk period for the next 2 to 3 days. If they can get through these days safely, they will self-destruct. Thoughts will be greatly reduced. People who cry out every day that they are not alive don’t want to die at all.

Worried about what Meng Lili would do, Daozhi has been by her side. Daozhi knows that this is not a solution to the problem. She must find a hope and give up this idea, otherwise she will still fall at a certain moment that cannot be crossed.. She couldn't let the flowers wither before they bloomed. After all, she owed her sister something.
