Chapter 33: Social Pattern Theory

  Yang Bin knew that any meeting held at the Merchant Bureau would never allow outsiders to attend. He was able to receive this notice, asking him to go to the bureau for a meeting, unless his entry into the system had made progress.

  So the only possibility is that Dai Hongfei went to the hospital for a check-up yesterday and found out he had a brain tumor, so his conscience has awakened and he wants to repay him?

  But it's not that obvious, is it?

  Yang Bin did not know the relationship between Zheng Ying and Dai Hongfei, so he naturally could not have known that Dai Hongfei had contacted Zheng Ying yesterday afternoon about his matter and had a long conversation with her on the phone.

  Never mind, it's already late now. I have to go to the bureau for a meeting, so I won't be able to go to the project team. Let me change into something better, this is my first time going to the bureau for a meeting, and I must leave a good impression on the leaders.

  What if I were to be formally appointed?

  What if? What if?

  Although the news was not enough to make Yang Bin so excited, he knew what his formal appointment at China Merchants meant to his parents who had been eagerly waiting for this moment and to his sister Yang Lan who had made great sacrifices in her studies.

  The family's tilt towards investing only in Yang Bin has naturally made his sister Yang Lan pay a lot of sacrifices in her studies and life, all of which need some phased returns to make up for. Just at the current stage, when the magical mobile phone has not yet exerted its power and cannot change the family's situation, the news that Yang Bin can be converted to regular status is undoubtedly a shot in the arm for this entire family and all members of the family.

  Otherwise, how can the hardships that all family members have endured in the past and present, the hard work they have paid for it, and all their expectations and hopes be sustained?

  Huaxia country, an ancient nation that has existed and continued for thousands of years with the family as a unit, has a unique social form different from other countries to survive and continue. A person living in such a social form, their own happiness and glory are secondary. Being able to make the people they care about happy and proud through their own efforts, making the whole family and clan glorious, is the true meaning of happiness and glory. This is also the fundamental reason why this ancient nation's civilization has become the only one on earth that has been passed down to today with strong vitality.

  Bin is a man who values relationships and righteousness. In some sense, he is also a very traditional person. As the eldest son of his family, he prioritizes filial piety towards his parents and responsibility towards his younger sister. These are bonds that he cannot abandon no matter where he goes.

  ……

  According to the normal regulations, Yang Bin should have called Qin Liang to explain that he would be going to the bureau for a meeting and therefore could not report to the project team. Alternatively, he should have rushed to the project team to punch in and report, and then gone to the bureau for the meeting after attending the early morning meeting at the department.

  But Yang Bin was too lazy to make the call and didn't want to go to the project team to report. It's easy to imagine that Qin Liang, that little man, would know he was going to the bureau for a meeting and might play tricks behind his back again. So Yang Bin simply didn't make the call or go to the project team, thinking he'd wait until after the meeting at the bureau to see what was going on before doing anything else.

  Yang Bin changed into a clean set of clothes and left the house just after 8:30.

  The China Merchants Bureau is a bit far from Yang Bin's rental place, about 7 or 8 bus stops away. If taking the bus, it would normally take around half an hour to forty minutes with traffic congestion, but Yang Bin was used to running to work.

  It saves on transportation costs, secondly it also exercises the body, and at the same time, it can control the time spent on the road. Although the roads in the city are filled with car exhaust, running along the street is not a very healthy thing to do. But Yang Bin has always been doing this, feeling that his body is very healthy, and he hasn't had any problems due to car exhaust, so today Yang Bin still chose to run to the office.

  Of course, running will have more opportunities to do good deeds than taking a car, and you can do it as soon as you encounter it. Accumulating merit points has already been listed by Yang Bin as the top priority in his life.

  He ran all the way from his rental place to the office, and Yang Bin estimated that it would take at most thirty minutes. To avoid any unexpected events and to leave himself enough time to do good deeds, he left before 8:30.

  ……

  It has been investigated clearly, and Yingying indeed had dinner with that man. The man's name is Yang Bin, who works at the Municipal Bureau of Commerce. At that time, Mr. Huo from the Flowing Cloud Hotel and journalist Cheng Xiang from the Evening News were present. Yesterday's report was written by Cheng Xiang himself, and those few words were spoken by Yang Bin to her in person. Boss Tang, do you think I should go bring him over for you? asked Gu Zhang, the short and stout bodyguard, seeking instructions from Tang Wong.

  This investigation requires money, and the Tang family will pay in full. Gu Zhang is very clever and has a wide range of connections, so it's not difficult for him to help Tang Yuan investigate the ins and outs of the matter.

  Of course, Gu Zhang's news did not come from Huo Zong and Cheng Xiang, but from the several service staff, waiters and leaders in the package room at that time. The information coming out of these mouths is also the most authentic.

  No, I was just thinking of going out for a walk today. You can come with me to meet him. I want to see what kind of person he is and how he managed to deceive Yingying, and even dared to claim that I'm his girlfriend! Tang Wan furrowed her brow, stood up, and gestured to Gu Zhan to prepare the car.

  In a short while, a very powerful black SUV came from afar and stopped beside Tang Wan. Gu Zhan ran down from the car to help Tang Wan open the rear door, and then tiptoed to support Tang Wan's head and let her get into the back seat, before returning to the front driver's seat.

  Tang Yuan may not look very strong, but her personality is quite tough, so she likes things that are relatively tough and hard... such as the black Sun, a car model that gives off a tough and hard impression, rather than those cars that normal women usually choose.

  After Tang Wan got on the car, Gu Zhan immediately stepped on the accelerator and drove out of the Tang family's villa in the suburbs of Yunfeng City, heading towards the Investment Promotion Bureau of Yunfeng City.

  US President Obama once said a very insulting remark to the Chinese nation, saying that if 1.3 billion Chinese people all lived the American lifestyle now, the earth's resources would be unable to bear it.

  Whether the earth's resources can afford to support the Chinese people has nothing to do with Obama, and he has no right to interfere. It's just that the Chinese have indeed become richer now, as can be seen from the number of cars driving on the roads.

  The closest thing to equality in China is the cars currently driving on the road...

  Just like Tang Wan, although she is the heir of Dongxing Group, one of the world's top 500 companies, at this moment she wants to go to Yunfeng City Investment Promotion Bureau to find a man named Yang Bin to ask for an explanation. After leaving the house and entering the city, she can only get stuck in traffic like other vehicles, starting a slow crawl like a snail.

  At this rate, when can we get there? Tang Wan complained impatiently, reaching out to press the window button on the rear car door and gazing outside.

  Hehe, next time when President Tang is free, help me apply for a pilot's license. When we go out, we'll take a helicopter and fly wherever we want, no one will stop us. Gu Zhan saw that Tang Wan was in a bad mood, so he quickly made a few jokes to lighten the atmosphere.

  Helicopter? There are people and cars everywhere, where can it land? Tang Wan curled her lip.

  After arriving at the destination, just parachute down, like the British Queen parachuting into the Olympics. Gu Zhang said, looking ahead to a vacant spot, and hurriedly squeezed the car over.

  Tang Wan shook her head, clearly uninterested in Gu Zhan's teasing.

  Mr. Tang, the "Social Pattern Theory" you explained to me last time, which says that human character traits drive specific human behaviors... This world is just a huge server, and everyone is just a piece of data in it, all people's behaviors have been patterned by this social model, running according to predetermined programs and so on... After repeated consideration, I still feel that this theory is too absolute, or rather, some places are simply wrong.

  Gu Zhang knew that Tang Yuan liked to explore philosophical aspects of human nature in society, and had already figured out her temperament... she didn't like others to agree with her views, but rather liked others to debate with her, and only if it was the kind of argument with insight, perspective, and evidence would do. Seeing her being annoyed at the moment, he steered the conversation towards a topic she liked.

  Oh? What do you think is wrong with my "Social Pattern Theory"? Tang Wan was indeed interested in Gu Zhan's words.
