Cheng Tianle is not his scientific name. The name written on his ID card is Cheng Yule, but this scientific name is almost never used except for applying for various documents, and even he forgot about it himself. Whenever others ask him what his name is, he will smile and answer: "My name is Cheng Tianle."

Cheng Tianle's name is quite a story. His name is "Successful in Le". According to his father, he hired a "master" who is very identity, knowledgeable and proficient in metaphysics shortly after he was born. A sentence from a saint - "It is popular in poetry, established in etiquette, and achieved in music." Later, Cheng Tianle turned over the "Analects of Confucius" and found that Confucius really said this. It seems that what his father said is not entirely false.

Before going to school, children usually use nicknames at home or kindergarten. His nickname is Lele, which pronounces joyfulness, which is different from the pronunciation of Daming. On the first day of his first grade in elementary school, the head teacher named him. I don’t know if it was a dazzled look or it was too casual, so he shouted “Zheng Tianle!”

The teacher called the three words wrongly. "Yu" was regarded as "Tian", and the music "Li" was read as "Li". This name was so funny that the whole class laughed, and even the class teacher himself laughed. Children often had nicknames in school, so "Zheng Tianle" became the nickname of Cheng Yule without any suspense, and almost no one called him the scientific name again.

Other people's nicknames are just nicknames, and Cheng Yule's nickname becomes his name. Coupled with his silly smile all day long, he is definitely a name that is like the other person. The teacher's name is wrong, which happened more than once from elementary school to university, and even a few times. Cheng Yule himself was confused and wrote the name "Zheng Tianle" on the test paper, but the teacher didn't notice it!

However, Cheng Yule was not completely confused. At least he did not write his name incorrectly during the college entrance examination. Although his college entrance examination scores were very poor, the name on the test paper was the same as his ID card and admission ticket. In addition, he usually called Cheng Tianle, which is not a pseudonym, a pseudonym or a simple nickname, but has become accustomed to it over time. There is a not exaggerated example. A friend who once lived with him for two years had no idea that his scientific name was not called Cheng Tianle.

Cheng Tianle took the college entrance examination in Dalian, Liaoning, and only scored more than 300 points, and his grades were quite miserable. But he couldn't underestimate his "study experience". Before Cheng Tianle took the college entrance examination, he had a year of cram school. Before taking the cram school, he had more than two years of study abroad experience in Europe. In this way, he is also a returnee.

Cheng Tianle's academic performance is very bad. The answers he wrote on the test paper are just like his name. The mistakes have become natural. After graduating from junior high school, his parents asked someone to use their relationship to spend sponsorship fees to get him to a pretty good high school. When he was about to graduate from high school, his parents also knew that he should not expect his baby son to have a future in the college entrance examination.

Today, newspapers often have large pages and many pages of study abroad introductions. There are also a variety of intermediary agencies for studying abroad, and they often rent venues in high-end hotels to hold study abroad lectures. After an acquaintance, his parents contacted an intermediary agency and gritted their teeth and sent their baby son to study in Germany. At that time, his father was still in a small state-owned housing business leadership position, and the family's financial conditions were pretty good.

According to the arrangement of the intermediary agency, Cheng Tianle's study abroad plan is to first study for one year of language school, then study for one year of preparatory courses according to the admission requirements of local German universities, and then enter the university to continue their studies. After returning from the school, it will be considered as a gold-plated success. If you can stay in Europe for employment, it will not only be a family, but also a burden for the country.

Unfortunately, although the idea is well depicted, the facts are completely different. Cheng Tianle studied in a language school in a place called Oaksburg in Germany for two years, but he didn't even get into the preparatory course. In the third year, the language school was found by the local authorities and was banned and closed. Cheng Tianle packed his luggage and returned to China. There were many children with similar experiences back with him, including his cousin Bruce Lee.

His cousin is really Bruce Lee, and he has the same name as the international kung fu superstar. Both of these brothers have interesting names.

Looking back on the experience of studying in Europe for more than two years, it was like a domestic intermediary agency and foreign stakeholders who made a lot of money in vain. But on the other hand, Cheng Tianle was also blamed for not being able to do his best. He was still in high school in China and had the same grades. After leaving the control of his parents and teachers abroad, he could still expect him to inexplicably transform himself, study hard, and improve every day? His parents hoped so much, but this hope was too naive.

When he was in a language school in Germany, he was happy all day long and didn't know what he was thinking in class. He shared a house with his classmates from China. The landlord is also Chinese, and his friends he usually dates are all Chinese. After more than two years of study abroad, he didn't even learn German well, and he even forgot about it after returning home.

Some of them have just graduated from high school in Germany, including Cheng Tianle, who have successfully passed the language level and entered university after finishing their preparatory courses. However, the proportion of such children is very small. It would be good if there are five or six out of 100. Most of the others are equivalent to spending their family money to travel to Europe.

Cheng Tianle's overseas student life cannot be said to have no gains at all. At least he lived in a very "savvy" way and went to many places in Europe. His parents gave him about 600 euros a month. He paid rent, ate, hang out with children from China, went out for a trip, and also went to Paris.

Unfortunately, he caught another strike by the local sanitation department in the past few days when he arrived in Paris. Whenever someone asked Cheng Tianle about his impression of Paris' legendary art and flower capital, Cheng Tianle's deepest answer was: "The streets are full of garbage, and there are too many cigarette butts!"

After returning from Europe, his parents also retired. The family's financial conditions were far worse than before. His son's future became a headache. At this time, a friend of his cousin's husband happened to hold a college entrance examination cram school, so he sent him a year to take the college entrance examination. He knew that his cultural scores could not be expected, so he chose an art major.

Zhong Tianle can draw, and from elementary school to junior high school, he studied painting in the local Youth Palace. Not to mention his level of painting, but compared with children of the same age, this is still his "speciality" that he can show off. It was also introduced by an acquaintance that Cheng Tianle came to Shanghai and studied in the art design major of Huaxia College affiliated to Donghua University for three years, and finally got his junior college diploma.

At the beginning of this century, many universities expanded their enrollment and changed their names. For example, China Textile University was renamed Donghua University. The so-called Huaxia College is a second-level branch it merged. Even if Cheng Tianle's grades were only able to study in junior college, and the tuition fee was not cheap, but it was not difficult to get a diploma. The difficulty was employment after graduation.

After graduation, Cheng Tianle applied for jobs at several advertising companies based on the principle of professional matching. He handed over his works and got interview opportunities. He used design software to make several creative ideas, but he did not get a formal job.

I haven't found a professional job. I have been studying for so many years, and I have spent so much money at home. I really can't go home and continue to ate my parents with shame. He smiled and thought: "I have been to so many places and have been studying for so many years. I can always make a living."

So Cheng Tianle stayed in Shanghai and shared a house with his college classmates who graduated with him. He worked as a job in Pizza Hut - cutting pizza in the kitchen. In his spare time, he also provided some designs for people, occasionally helping people with odd jobs and pocket money, and he could make money.

Half a year passed, and it was time to pay the rent in the second half of the year. Cheng Tianle was a little worried. Do you still have to call your parents to ask for money? It’s not easy to talk about this, but I told my family on the phone that I was doing well in Shanghai, and I found a job if I had a place to live, so I didn’t have to worry about food and drink.

Just when he was in a difficult situation, it was really time to go. A friend who had not been in contact for a long time suddenly called him. His tone was full of confidence, his attitude was full of enthusiasm, and he was very concerned about him, which moved Cheng Tianle very much. This person was named Yu Fei. He studied in Germany with Cheng Tianle for two years. As far as Cheng Tianle knows, Yu Fei's family is average and the burden of studying abroad is not easy.

Yu Fei often skipped classes in a language school in Germany, and later lived with another girl from China. He didn't break up until he returned to China. After returning to China, Cheng Tianle left him with contact information, but there was no news in recent years. At this time, he suddenly called. Yu Fei seemed very busy, and each call lasted for three or five minutes, but he was very concerned about Cheng Tianle's recent situation.

After talking on the phone for three days, Cheng Tianle probably learned that Yu Fei is now engaged in a large-scale and promising career. On the fourth day, Yu Fei finally expressed his purpose-

Yu Fei is in Suzhou, an executive of a multinational company. The company is about to set up a new business department, mainly responsible for foreign trade cooperation in Europe. He wants to invite Cheng Tianle to Suzhou to be the business manager of the department. He has a very high salary, a very good salary, and his development prospects are even more impressive. The reason why Yu Fei thought of Cheng Tianle was because the company needed Cheng Tianle, a young talent with European study experience and full of vitality. On the other hand, they also have the friendship of studying in Europe, and this position is the most suitable one to introduce him to.

Cheng Tianle didn't think much about it, and just asked: "Do you care about food and accommodation?"

Yu Fei laughed on the phone and said, "Of course! We have dormitories and staff restaurants, and the treatment is very good. As long as we work for a few years, the bonus will be several million!"

Cheng Tianle dared not think about the millions of bonuses. As for the profession of business manager, he didn't expect it. However, at this time someone introduced him to a job and was responsible for food and accommodation. Cheng Tianle immediately packed his luggage and reported to him. It was very convenient to go from Shanghai to Suzhou, and the high-speed rail only takes twenty-five minutes.

Before coming to Suzhou, Cheng Tianle never thought about whether he had encountered a pyramid scheme? Although he occasionally read reports of pyramid scheme gangs online and in newspapers, Cheng Tianle didn't pay much attention. It seemed that it was just an entertainment story and was far away from him. When Yu Fei called him, Cheng Tianle didn't expect that he was lying to him. What's the point of cheating him like him?

Cheng Tianle arrived at Suzhou Railway Station and sent a text message to Yu Fei. It took more than ten minutes before Yu Fei came. Yu Fei was not alone, and there was a woman around him. Although she was in her early twenties, she dressed up a little simple, but her figure and appearance were pretty good. When Yu Fei saw Cheng Tianle, he stepped forward and introduced: "This is the assistant to the president of our company, Miss Liu, who just returned from studying in the United States." As he said that, he snatched Cheng Tianle's travel bag and carried it on his shoulders.

Cheng Tianle was about to say no, but the girl smiled and reached out and said, "Hello, Manager Cheng, my name is Liu Shujun, I'm very happy to know you! We will be colleagues in the future." She blinked her bright eyes, looking at him with affection.

This made Cheng Tianle feel a little embarrassed. She wiped the sweat from her palms on her clothes, and smiled and reached out to hold her hands and said, "Hello, my name is Cheng Tianle, please take care of me!"

At this time, Yu Fei, who was carrying a bag, picked up the phone and shouted to someone: "Why is the car still coming?...what?...can't repair it today?"

The girl named Liu Shujun explained: "Mr. Yu's car broke down halfway, and it seems that it can't be repaired today."

Yu Fei said again: "This afternoon, the company's business study, and there are no one left after going there. Manager Cheng is coming to Suzhou for the first time. Why not find a place to stroll around and have a meal by the way."

Cheng Tianle still laughed and said, "I don't care, I can do anything."

Liu Shujun echoed enthusiastically: "Okay, it's my honor to be able to go shopping with a handsome guy like Manager Cheng! Let's go to Shantang Street. Tourists from other places only know the gardens of Suzhou, but they don't know that the water town and alleys are the essence of Suzhou's scenery."

In this way, the three of them came to Shantang Street. Cheng Tianle was embarrassed to let President Yu Fei carry his bag, but Liu Shujun held his arm and said, "Just let President Yu carry the bag, I will accompany you, the handsome guy, to have a good time."

Although Yu Fei's car broke down on the road and he didn't look like a big boss who had made a fortune, Cheng Tianle was the first time to arrive in Suzhou. When he got off the car, someone enthusiastically helped him carry his luggage. There was also a beautiful woman who changed his arms to stroll through the Qiannian Shantang Street, and she shouted at the handsome guy. When he crossed the Qingshan Bridge and came to the gate of Pufu Zen Temple, Cheng Tianle couldn't help feeling a little fluttering.

What Yu Fei and Liu Shujun do now is called "Catch new friends" according to the pyramid scheme gang. When visiting Suzhou, the most famous one for outsiders is of course the garden. Why do they bring Cheng Tianle to this Shantang Street? In fact, every time this gang "Catch new friends", every time he "Catch new friends", he would bring people to stroll around the scenery of the Shantang.

On the one hand, it is because the place where the gangs gather is not too far away. On the other hand, it is more important. Qili Shantang Street is not only a gathering place for Suzhou’s cultural heritage and water town scenery since ancient times, but also does not have to spend money to go shopping!
