Ding Shikuan changed his words very bluntly, and Feng Xiaochen could naturally guess what he thought. In everyone's mind, Wang Zhenbin and Yu Rui were both serious ministries and commission officials. Although they came out of production to study, they still had connections, connections, ways, etc. Feng Xiaochen was different. He was so young and had such a low education. Although he was nominally a deputy director, everyone was a little confused about what was going on. Maybe this deputy director was just a false title, or even like in some companies, he could just call him a director or a section chief, but he was actually just a stock-level cadre.

Feng Xiaochen had no intention of explaining this issue. Everyone underestimated him. He was still happy to be idle. His ability does not need to be admitted by these classmates. It was because he was not low-key enough that Luo Xiangfei sent him out of the heavy installation office to avoid the limelight. After having such a lesson, shouldn't he be more honest?

Thinking of this, he just smiled at Ding Shikuan's words and said a few polite words like his own slightest words, which made everyone focus on Wang Zhenbin and Yu Rui.

The debate between Feng Xiaochen and Qi Ruicang can only be regarded as a small episode. The first gathering of graduate students was generally very harmonious and happy. Everyone agreed to help each other in the next three years. Wang Zhenbin and Yu Rui, two people in the capital, both invited everyone to visit their homes at the right time. At the same time, Wang Zhenbin also made a request to three other students who came from professional schools on behalf of himself and Yu Rui and Feng Xiaochen, asking them to give them more guidance in their studies.

Everyone was also quite gossiped about whether Ding Shikuan and Feng Xiaochen had a partner. Ding Shikuan claimed that he had no partner yet, so he asked everyone to help him become the matchmaker of the moon. Feng Xiaochen talked about Du Xiaodi. He heard that Feng Xiaochen's girlfriend was just a welder in a factory. Everyone was talking about blessings, but they felt a little disdain or regretful. Feng Xiaochen could feel the mentality of everyone, but he was not interested in caring about anything.

The next day was the day when school started. Under the leadership of the Academic Secretary, the freshmen first went to the hospital to attend the unified opening ceremony of the whole hospital, and then returned to their own institutes to receive the freshmen's admission education. There is no need to explain the red tape such as speeches and expert speeches. The last part of freshmen's education is the meeting between students and tutors. Feng Xiaochen only met his mentor Shen Rongru for the first time at this time.

"You are Feng Xiaochen? I have long admired you."

Shen Rongru took Feng Xiaochen into his office and asked him to sit down on the chair. While pouring water for Feng Xiaochen himself, he said to him with a little teasing.

Feng Xiaochen in later generations had met Shen Rongru, but at that time Shen Rongru was already over 90 years old. Although he was still energetic, he was far from being as energetic as he is now. Feng Xiaochen has always known that Shen Rongru has a certain elegant temperament and is very kind to young people, but he did not expect that he had such a humorous side.

"Teacher Shen, you said this to ruin me. I am just a junior high school student. How dare you say anything about a famous name in front of you?" Feng Xiaochen replied with a look of fear and fear.

"You are a junior high school student," Chen Rongru put a glass of water in front of Feng Xiaochen, then took his own cup and sat opposite Feng Xiaochen, and said solemnly, "I didn't plan to recruit a master's student anymore, but your Director Zhang called me personally and recommended you to me, saying that it was a rare talent and insisted that I accept it as a closed disciple. Tell me, how great is your face? Is this the face that ordinary junior high school students can have?"

Feng Xiaochen was really a little frightened this time. He had known that Director Zhang and Luo Xiangfei had a good intention to arrange for him to study at the Academy of Social Sciences, but he did not expect to pay attention to him to this level. Director Zhang has a high reputation in the economic field and personally recommended a student to Chen Rongru. Of course, Chen Rongru could not refuse. Director Zhang insisted that Chen Rongru be Feng Xiaochen's mentor, and of course he had clear intentions. In addition to the knowledge of Chen Rongru and Feng Xiaochen could learn a lot of knowledge from him, another thing was that he wanted Feng Xiaochen to have an academic giant as his backer. If he encountered things like Qu Shoulin in the future, he would not be at a disadvantage.

I am just an ordinary cadre from Nanjiang Province, but I can get such meticulous care from Director Zhang, Luo Xiangfei and others. I really don’t know how to repay their kindness for their support.

"Tell me, what's special about you? It's worth Director Zhang's attention to you like this." Chen Rongru took the tea cup and took a sip of tea, and asked in an seemingly light manner.

"What's special?" Feng Xiaochen thought about it and felt that this question was really hard to answer.

"Maybe it's because I'm more diligent in doing things." Feng Xiaochen said tentatively.

Chen Rongru shook his head: "There are many diligent people, and not everyone can get recommendations."

"My foreign language proficiency is OK and I know five foreign languages."

"This is indeed rare, but I think Director Zhang respects you because of this."

"That's because I've worked on several projects during the reinstallation and there are some innovations."

"Then he should promote you to a more important position, rather than letting you study for a graduate student. You still need some academic foundation to study for a graduate student. Tell me, what makes Director Zhang feel that you, a junior high school student, have the academic foundation to study for a graduate student with me?"

“…”

Feng Xiaochen then realized that he had indeed overlooked this problem in the past. He came to the Academy of Social Sciences to study for a graduate student, and was also under Shen Rongru. This is not only a matter of understanding some foreign languages ​​and being able to come up with a few good points in practice. Although the ministries and commissions recommend cadres to study for graduate students, the premise is that you are a good person, otherwise how can you be gold-plated?

"What do you think of our country's current economic system?"

Seeing Feng Xiaochen's ignorant look, Chen Rongru smiled slightly and changed the question. In fact, when Director Zhang recommended Feng Xiaochen to him, in addition to introducing some of Feng Xiaochen's work achievements in the reinstallation office, he particularly emphasized that Feng Xiaochen has some unique insights on national economic policies and shows strong theoretical sensitivity. Director Zhang believes that if young people like Feng Xiaochen have in-depth thinking about economic policies can be given guidance from famous teachers, it is not difficult to become insightful theorists. In the future, whether they are engaged in theoretical research or returning to the practical department to engage in management work, they can make significant contributions.

Chen Rongru told Feng Xiaochen for a long time, but Feng Xiaochen did not realize his real advantage. It seems that this young man does not know how shocking his theoretical views are, and this is enough to show that his views are from the heart and have no intention of being artificial.

Feng Xiaochen did not think there was anything special about himself in theory. When he communicated with Luo Xiangfei and Meng Fanze before, he did put forward many amazing insights, but these insights were just some economic common sense in later generations, which was to be innovative at this time point in the early 1980s. Hearing Chen Rongru ask him about his views on the economic system, he thought for a while and said:

"The current system should be a transitional system. The problem of autonomy between enterprises and local governments has not been properly resolved, and the status of township enterprises and private economy has not been recognized yet. This is incompatible with the requirements of the market economy. Without solving these problems, it will be difficult for China's economy to develop rapidly."

"Market economy?" Chen Rongru frowned, "Do you think China should develop a market economy?"

"Yes, China will eventually move towards a market economy." Feng Xiaochen replied. This is the welfare of time travelers. In his opinion, what others find incredible is truly true. At present, both in the decision-making and theoretical circles, the concept of a market economy has not yet been proposed. At this time, it is said that China must move towards a market economy. To be light, it is not firm enough, and being tempted by capitalist ideas. To be serious, it is a ruthless deed, and it is possible to be guilty for words.

However, Feng Xiaochen felt that it was not important to say this in front of Shen Rongru, because Chen Rongru was a very open-minded scholar. Even though he had not proposed the concept of market economy today, he would become a firm promoter of market economy theory in a few years. Many of Feng Xiaochen's understanding of market economy comes from Chen Rongru's writings in later generations.

Sure enough, after hearing Feng Xiaochen's answer, Chen Rongru was not as furious as some old scholars with rigid thoughts, but said in an inquiry tone: "We are a socialist country, how can we develop a market economy? The current policy orientation of the country is to build a planned commodity economy, the core is to introduce some commodity economy mechanisms. The market economy and the planned economy are incompatible. Do you think we should give up the planned economy?"

"The conditions for our country to implement a planned economy are not mature, and forcibly adopting a planned economy model is contrary to the laws of nature. In the past 30 years, our planning system has been repeating the cycle of "one control will die, one release will be chaos", which is the reason. To solve this problem, the only way is to give up the planned economy and implement a market economy. The country is just an important entity in the market economy to participate in economic activities, making the market the main means to allocate resources."
