测量局给出红线几天后的一个下午，我被从遂川工地招唤到了公司。同事们都在，说是测量局的老曹回家后，一连三、四天吃不下饭，睡不着觉，不能上班工作了。他还说了许多话，人们都听不懂。
One afternoon a few days after the Survey Bureau laid out the red line, I was summoned to the company from the Suichuan construction site. My coworkers were all there, saying that the Old Cao of the Survey Bureau had gone home for three or four days in a row, unable to eat and sleep, and unable to go to work. He also said a lot of things that people could not understand.
 
测量局的局长打电话到和平房产局询问：“那天在遂川工地发生了什么事？他看见什么了？（注，参见6.7节）被吓成那样！” 两天内，和平房产局收到了二十多个电话，市长办公室也打来电话，询问工地发生了什么事。所以局里决定调查，明天局长带着调查资料去向市长汇报。
The chief of Survey Bureau called Heping Housekeeping Bureau to ask: "What happened at the Suichuan site that day? What did he see? (Note, cf. section 6.7) Being scared like that!" Within two days, the Heping Housekeeping Bureau received more than twenty phone calls, and the mayor's office also called to ask what had happened at the construction site. So, the bureau decided to investigate, and tomorrow Bureau Chief will take the investigation information to report to the mayor.

这时我自己并没有意识到这事件的严重性（注，实际上，那时我就根本不懂），就如实说了。在我们的办公室里，工会主席问我们的工程科科长付国青：“卢岩自己都说了，但他怎么就不明白呢！？”
At this time, I did not realize the seriousness of this incident (annotation, in fact, I just didn’t understand at that time), so I told the truth. In our office, the union chairman asked Fu Guoqing, our engineering section chief: "Luyan said it himself, but why doesn't he understand!?"
付科长回答：“咱局四千人，明白这事儿的可能只有几个！社会上的人，懂的就更少了。不过，卢岩是真不懂。多次，事情发生的时候，他都是似懂非懂的；过一两个星期，他就明白了，还懂得特别清楚。他刚来的时候，说话掩我，我观察了他这半年了，发现他懂得比别人慢两个星期。”
Section Chief Fu replied: "There are 4,000 people in our bureau, and only a few may understand this matter! There are even fewer people in society who understand. However, Luyan really doesn't understand. Many times, when things happened, he seems to understand it; after a week or two, he understands it, and understands it very clearly. When he first came here, he pinched me by words, so, I have been observing him for half a year, and I found that he understands slower than others, two weeks slower than others."
工会主席说：“我听说过，有这种人。他自己不认为是老大，那就不是呗！那你看咱这事该咋办？”
同事高德新说：“咱这是要出大事了，但大事还没出来呢！”
The union president said: "I've heard that there are such people. If he doesn't think he's the boss, then he's not! So, what do you think we should do about this?"
Coworker Gao Dexin said: "Something big is going to happen to us, but the big thing hasn't come out yet!"
（3）
同事电器技术员翘翘对我说：“你应该生气！我就不信黑社会老大还能看出来，这是测量局的老曹在整你呢！”
我回答：“我和他一个测量局的，八竿子也打不着的关系，他整我干什么！就是事赶事，偶然发生了，我有什么可生气的！”
My colleague Qiaoqiao, an electrical technician, said to me: "You should be angry! I don't believe that the triad boss can be found out by looks! The affair is that the Old Cao of Survey Bureau is bullying you!”
I replied: "He works in Survey Bureau; we have nothing to do with each other. The affair is incidentally happened sequentially; what should I be angry about!"
翘翘说：“这是在调查你。人人都知道，“无风不起浪”。就这一个调查，两三年之内，你找不着女朋友了。谁给人介绍对象都先问问在公司里干得怎么样。不论今天调查的结果怎么样，在外人看来，你和黑社会有关系。这会影响你十年。”
Qiaoqiao said: "This is an investigation of you. Everyone knows that ‘there is no smoke without fire’. Just this investigation, you will not be able to find a girlfriend within two or three years. Whoever introduces a partner to someone should ask someone in the company first Well done. No matter what the results of today's investigation are, in the eyes of outsiders, you are related to the underworld. This will affect you for ten years."
我迷惑地叨咕：“有那么严重！”
翘翘说：“这就是事实！我以前说给你介绍那个女孩儿的事，过几年再说吧！”
I mumbled in confusion: "It's that serious!"
Qiaoqiao said: "This is the fact! I told you to introduce that girl to you before, let's talk about it in a few years!"
我顿时生气了，着急地说：“咋还过几年呢！你就直接说不给我介绍了！”
翘翘说：“你跟我生什么气！前些日子，我听人们说你是黑社会老大，她妈问我什么时候安排你俩见面，我回答，卢岩现在很忙，等几天吧！”
I immediately became angry and said anxiously: "How come it's still a few years away! Just say you won't introduce me!"
Qiaoqiao said: "Why are you angry with me! A few days ago, I heard people say that you are the boss of the underworld. Her mother asked me when I would arrange for you two to meet. I replied, Luyan is very busy now, just wait a few days!" 
我说：“我不忙！”
翘翘说：“我知道你不忙，但今天调查你这事。如果我告诉他们，那肯定不行，但我又不能对他们隐瞒这么大的事。”
I said: "I'm not busy!"
Qiaoqiao said: "I know you are not busy, but the affair is investigating you today. If I tell them, it will definitely not work, but I can't hide the big affair from them."
电器技术员老吕说：“我第一次看见卢岩就认为他是黑社会的，但是我从没跟人说。你要介绍谁给卢岩？”
翘翘鄙夷地对他大叫：“你看谁都是黑社会的，因为你窝囊！XXX家的YYY。”
Electrical technician Old Lu said: "When I first saw Luyan, I thought he was from the underworld, but I never told anyone. Who do you want to introduce to Luyan?"
Qiaoqiao yelled at him with disdain: "Look, everyone is a member of the underworld, because you are a coward! YYY from the XXX family."
付科长大声说道：“你们俩要唠嗑，回家唠去！这儿在开会呢！”
Section Chief Fu said loudly: "If you two want to chat, go home and chat! There is a meeting here!"
（4）
工会主席打断了付科长，说：“等等！我们搞调查的有义务减少给调查对象造成的损失。翘翘，你说的那个女孩儿是怎么回事？你一说，卢岩就被气得变了脸色。还有，你怎么看人们说卢岩是黑社会的？” 
The union chairman interrupted Section Chief Fu and said: "Wait a minute! We who are investigating are obliged to reduce the losses caused to the subjects of the investigation. Qiaoqiao, what happened to the girl you mentioned? As soon as you said it, Luyan his face changed with anger. Also, what do you think about people saying that Luyan is from the black society? "
老吕在一边叨咕：“净瞎操心，XXX家的YYY怎么能看上卢岩！我怎么看，卢岩都是黑社会的。”
Old Lu muttered on the side: "Net blind worry, how can the XXX family's YYY look at Luyan! I think Luyan is a triad member."
翘翘说：“前几个月，我上夜大考高等数学，卢岩给我押题，全压对了。这说明他明白高等数学，在学校是个好学生。另外，他要考研究生。如果他是黑社会老大，他还能考研究生吗！你不能因为谁跟那帮流浪汉有点来往，就说人家是黑社会的！”
Qiaoqiao said: "A few months ago, I took the advanced mathematics test at Night University, Luyan gave me the questions, and he got them all right. This shows that he understands advanced mathematics and is a good student in school. In addition, he wants to take the postgraduate entrance examination. If He is the boss of the underworld, can he still take the postgraduate entrance examination! You can't say someone is from the underworld just because he has some association with those homeless people!"
老吕说：“高数考试押题，全押对了？数学老师也押不那么准啊！”
工会主席对付科长说：“你们工程科的人有学问，我就爱听你们工程科的人说话！翘翘，你继续说那个女孩儿。”
Old Lu said: "Is it correct to bet on all the questions in the advanced mathematics exam? The math teacher is not so accurate either!"
The chairman of the union said to the section chief: "You people in the engineering department are knowledgeable, and I love to listen to what you people in the engineering department talk about! Qiaoqiao, keep talking about that girl."
翘翘说：“那是你那么认为的！事后，我就想给卢岩介绍对象，就把这事跟那个小姑娘的爸妈说了。那小姑娘今年19岁，人长得很漂亮，在沈阳大学读大一。家里人都是老干部，都会看人。我说，那个卢岩拿我的数学书一翻，就说，你这本数学书是这么编的，就给我指出来了。这四个地方是难点，你学会了，能多得15分，就不要学了。这四处是基本面，必须学会，占70分，因为你们夜大学生的素质参差不齐，所以这部分的比重大，让学懂这些内容的人都能通过。剩下的那15分是简单的概念。这三种考题的比重可能变动5、6分，不会太多。”
Qiaoqiao said: "That's what you think! Afterwards, I wanted to introduce someone to Luyan, so I told the little girl's parents about it. The little girl is 19 years old and very beautiful, is a freshman at Shenyang University. Her family are all veteran cadres, and they know how to judge people. I said, Luyan took my math book and flipped it through, and said, this is how your math book is compiled, and pointed it out to me. These four points are difficult. If you learn it, you can get 15 points more, so don’t learn it. These four points are the basics, you must learn them, and they account for 70 points. Because the quality of your night college students is uneven, this part the weighting is so heavy that anyone who has learned these contents can pass. The remaining 15 points are simple concepts. The weighting of these three types of questions may vary by 5 or 6 points, not too much."
翘翘说：“人家的几个老干部一分析，押题，对于明白人来说，可不就是这么回事。他们就跟我打听卢岩的情况，我说了几件事，当然我是挑好事说。人家全家人讨论，分析的可不一样，认为卢岩看问题有门道，兴趣面宽而且思想活跃。他们还跟我谈论了卢岩的许多别的特质，我都听不懂。他们说我和他们闺女从小一起长大，性格也合得来，我看好的，他们闺女会喜欢的可能性大。他们说，找对象结婚最怕单调的人；卢岩是个多重性格的人，内心世界丰富，不单调。那小姑娘她妈就惦记上了，几次问我什么时候介绍卢岩跟她闺女认识。这回让你们一调查，我的努力全白费了。”
Qiaoqiao said: "They several veteran cadres analyzed that betting questions for exam, for people who understand it, is just like that. They asked me about Luyan's situation, and I told a few things. Of course, I picked the good things. The whole family discussed and analyzed those affairs differently. They thought that Luyan has his own ways of looking at problems, a wide range of interests and an active mind. They also talked to me about many other characteristics of Luyan, but I couldn’t understand them. They said that I I grew up with their daughter and have compatible personalities. I am optimistic that their daughter will like her most. They say that when looking for a partner to marry, they are most afraid of monotonous people; Luyan is a person with multiple personalities and a rich inner world, is not monotonous. The little girl's mother is obsessed with Luyan and asked me several times when I would introduce Luyan to her daughter. This time, you had an investigation on him, all my efforts are wasted."

我气愤得脸上发烫，叨咕：“这我要是不把老曹家的玻璃砸了，整个房产局也没人瞧得起我呀！我得鼓起勇气扮流氓！”
这时，屋外传来话：调查到此为止；以后的事，让警察去查吧！
My face burned with anger, and I muttered: "If I don't smash the glass of Old Cao's house, no one in the Heping Housekeeping Bureau will look up to me! I must pluck up the courage to play the hooligan!"
At this time, outside the room came the words: the investigation ends here; the future, let the police to investigate!
工会主席对付科长说：“咱们的事好像有谱了，但把小卢的对象给搅黄了。我感觉事情不妙，卢岩要去砸老曹家的玻璃，警察听了也得觉得有道理！你得说几句！”
The chairman of the labor union said to the section chief: "We seem to have a plan for our affairs, but we've spoiled Little Luyan’s girlfriend. I don't feel good about it. Luyan is going to smash the glass of Old Cao's house, and the police might feel justified when they hear about it! You have to say something!"
付科长说：“在沈阳六百万人中找到老曹的家可不是件容易的事，谁也不能告诉他。他的研究生考试就在下个月，他得选择是跟警察忙，还是跟研究生考试忙。”
Section Chief Fu said, "Finding Old Cao's home among the six million people in Shenyang is no easy task, and no one shall tell him. His graduate school exams are next month, and he'll have to choose whether to be busy with the police or with his graduate school exams."
（6）
人们走后，我自己坐在办公室里算计这事。直到午夜，我的气消了，觉得去砸老曹家玻璃的工作量太大，事后免不了还得应付警察，还真就把我的研究生考试给耽误了。我决定，少惹气，准备考试。
After everyone left, I sat in my office and figured it out. By midnight, my anger had subsided. I felt that the workload of smashing the windows of Old Cao's house was too much. I would inevitably have to deal with the police afterwards, which really delayed my graduate examination. I decided to stop being angry and prepare for the exam.
6.9-7 众贼要游行示威 Thieves Wanting Demonstration
随后的星期一，我到公司上班，整栋楼就只有我一个人。中午的时候，高德新和小马来了。他们看见我就笑：“咱和平房产局的人都在忙，就你一个人闲着！”
我问：“发生什么事了？”
The following Monday, I went to work and was the only one in the building. At noon, Gao Dexin and Little Ma came. When they saw me, they laughed: "Everyone in the Heping Real Estate Bureau is busy, but you are the only one free!"
I asked: "What happened?"
高德新说：“那帮流浪汉对咱和平房产局关于你的处理不满意，让和平房产局把你给他们，不然他们就来砸咱局。”
我感觉这话说得新奇，没头绪，问：“这是什么和什么呀？”
Gao Dexin said: "Those homeless people are not satisfied with the handling of you by the Heping Housekeeping Bureau; they want the Heping Housekeeping Bureau give you to them, otherwise they will come and destroy our bureau."
I felt that this was a novel statement and had no clue, so I asked: "What is this; what is it?"
 
高德新说：“哥给你解释！那帮流浪汉想的可跟咱们不一样。这次因为你，他们对咱和平房产局有意见了。你想，都知道他们是贼，要是他们来几百人到咱局的院子里来闹，临走再生几堆火，砸几块玻璃，那咱局的政治问题可就大了！咱们是国家政府部门，怎么能和贼群有来往呢！还打架！以前出过类似的事，三四个局长被撤职，三十多人受到了处分。”
Gao Dexin said: "Brother, allow me to explain it for you! Those homeless people think differently from us. This time, because of you, they have a problem with our Heping Housekeeping Bureau. Think about it, we all know that they are thieves. If they come for hundreds of people to the yard of our bureau to cause trouble, and before leaving, they start a few fires and smash a few pieces of glass, then our bureau will have a big political problem! We are a national government department, how can we have contact with thieves! And fighting with them! Similar things have happened before, three or four bureau chiefs were dismissed, and more than 30 people were punished."
我说：“政治问题，性质严重，要界限分明（注，那时，我根本没把这事当回事，实际就是不懂）。”
高德新大叫：“对喽！明白点儿就行！哥跟你说过吧！你的那个靠山有眼光，不是一般人，选择和平房产局来培养你，别的地方可遇不到。就这事儿！明白的人很少。”
I said: "Political issues are serious in nature and the boundaries must be clearly defined (note, at that time, I didn't take this matter seriously at all. In fact, I just didn't understand)."
Gao Dexin shouted: "That's right! Just understand it! I told you! Your backer has a vision and is not an ordinary person. He chose the Heping Housekeeping Bureau to train you. You can't find it elsewhere. That's it! Very few people understand.”
我问：“我怎么办？”
高德新说：“虽说这事儿是因你而起，但咱们局长的官帽是大事，你就自己找个地方准备你的研究生考试去吧。谁问你什么，你都说不知道，或者不出声。活该他们出事！谁让他们把你放进了贼窝。”
I asked, "What should I do?"
Gao Dexin said: "Although this matter happened because of you, the official title of our bureau chiefs is a big deal. Just find a place to prepare for your postgraduate examination. Whoever asks you something, you always say you don't know, or you don't speak up. They deserve what happened to them! Who let them to put you into a den of thieves!?"
（8）
他们俩走后，付经理来了，告诉我：“遂川工地停工了，因为投资方怀疑房产局的领导班子不稳定，让我以后不要去那里了。” 他又说，冬天我们这建筑公司就没什么事，如果我愿意，可以休假，去准备研究生考试。我决定休假两星期。
After the two of them left, Manager Fu came and told me: "The Suichuan construction site has been suspended because the investors suspected that the leadership team of the Heping Housekeeping Bureau was unstable and asked me not to go there in the future." He also said that our construction company must stop in winter. There is nothing wrong. If I want, I can take a vacation to prepare for the postgraduate examination. I decided to take two weeks off.
（9）
后来，我听人们说，材料科长王宝山跟人们评论这事。如果卢岩真去砸老曹家的玻璃。他扔个小石头，那就是令箭。随后不知道有多少石头飞进他家屋子里了。即便老曹没被当场打死。沈阳爱看热闹的人多，随后进屋就把他杀喽。这卢岩就得跑路哇！那就谁也不知道他到哪儿念研究生去了。几年后，沈阳就又多了个祸害。卢岩是个老实人；他当贼，活不了几年。就因为他考研究生，不能贪事，老曹捡了条命。
Later, I heard people say that Wang Baoshan, the material section chief, was commenting on this matter. If Luyan really went to smash the glass of Old Cao's house. He throws a small stone and that is the commanding arrow. Then an unknown number of stones flew into his house. Even though Old Cao was not beaten to death on the spot. There were many people in Shenyang who liked to watch the excitement, so they entered the house and killed him. Then, Luyan must run away! Since, no one knows where he went to graduate school. A few years later, Shenyang suffers one more misfortune.  Luyan is an honest man; he will not live for a few years as a thief. Just because he was preparing his exams for graduate school and could not be greedy on affairs, Old Cao’s life is saved.
