"If I asked you to give up everything you are doing now, become a Chinese national, and take the civil service examination this year, would you be willing?" Secretary Yu looked at Cang Long and said solemnly.
Yu Xue and Secretary Yu suddenly walked out. The mother and daughter sat together and looked at Cang Long. Yu Xue said nothing, but Secretary Yu's first words were to ask him to give up everything. Cang Long was a little at a loss.
Perhaps this was the test Heiman was talking about when he left.
Looking at Yu Xue, Canglong suddenly became thoughtful. If he were an ordinary person, he might agree immediately. Unfortunately, he was not. This was not because his current status could bring him any benefits. On the contrary, he
There is no choice. You must demand yourself in an almost cruel way in order to protect the people around you.
"I don't want to." Cang Long shook his head, and he clearly saw a tremor on Yu Xue's face.
"What if it's for my daughter?" Secretary Yu looked at Canglong with a smile, "For her, would you give up everything you have now and live a stable life?"
Canglong was silent. He looked at Yu Xue and found that Yu Xue suddenly lowered his head. How much he wanted to say in his heart, I am willing, I am willing, but there is a kind of responsibility that he cannot say out loud. If he agrees, it will mean that he is relieved of his duties.
The price of putting down all precautions and becoming an ordinary person is too high. Even if he is willing to become an ordinary person, many people will not be willing.
Secretary Yu seemed to have expected the current result, and smiled and said: "Young people, sometimes you don't have to do whatever you want. This may be the idea of most of you young people. To start a career when you are young, you can't be rebellious.
You are willing to rely on your family's help, but in fact you have taken a detour. Family help is not a shameful thing. It is ignorant and naive to give up what belongs to you."
Canglong nodded. He admitted that Secretary Yu said a lot. Many young people have rich families, but they are unwilling to inherit. They want to start a career on their own, but in the end they find that it is not what they imagined. In fact, it is not what they imagined.
There is nothing shameful about accepting family help because it is your destiny.
They don’t have to be a rich second generation with bad conduct, or they don’t have to be a rich second generation who helps the world, but they can choose to rely on their own advantages to become a second generation founder, without inheriting the family business.
But you can use your family's resources to create your own path, and you can use your resources to realize your dreams.
It was obvious that Secretary Yu regarded Cang Long as that kind of rebellious young man, but it was a pity that Cang Long was not the kind of rebellious young man. Her words were completely wrong when applied to Cang Long.
"Everyone has his own destiny. Some people choose to succumb to fate, while others choose not to succumb to fate." Cang Long raised his head and looked at Secretary Yu, and said firmly, "We have different paths and we don't want to work together."
What Secretary Yu actually said was that she wanted Canglong to use her strength to climb to a high position. Although she started from the grassroots level, with Canglong's ability and character, it is not difficult to climb to a high position. The difficult thing is whether Canglong is willing.
Canglong's answer made Yu Xue's face turn pale, while Secretary Yu's expression looked blank. You see, it was indeed the case, but she did not say it out loud, but said calmly: "If you don't want to, you can't marry my daughter.
?Do you want my daughter to suffer with you?"
"What others can give her, I can give her, and what others can't give, I can also give." Cang Long looked at Yu Xue, "It's just that I can't agree to these requests of yours, because some things are not as simple as you think.
if......."
Cang Long did not continue because he found that Yu Xue kept her head down, even when she said these words. At this moment, he did not know how to continue.
"Yes, it is not difficult to give her some material needs with your ability. What is difficult is that you cannot give her a stable life. Think about the women around you, do you dare to say that you can withstand the temptation?" Yu
The secretary looked at him and his tone became cold, "If one day, my Yu Xue's beauty is gone and she is old and sallow, and what will she use to lock your heart?"
"There are some things you just can't help yourself!" Canglong retorted without hesitation, "Just like you are in officialdom, there are some things you must do, even if you think it is wrong, even if you think doing so will offend your beloved.
people."
Secretary Yu's expression changed. At this time, Cang Long seemed to have suddenly changed. There was a strange aura all over his body. Those emotionless eyes were like two bottomless spiral nests. You
You can never see what's inside the spiral nest.
"Why does he have such eyes, so young..." Secretary Yu's heart pounded. When Canglong said those words, she was greatly touched. Isn't it true that she is like this? Sometimes she is really helpless.
By yourself, sometimes in order to protect the people around you, you have to hurt the people around you, even the people you love the most.
But at the age of twenty-five, how could Canglong have such insights and be so profound? At this age, he just graduated from college and entered the society for the first time.
But the more this happened, the more worried she became, and she couldn't let Canglong be with her daughter. For the first time, she felt that this young man was invisible to her.
"Can't help myself?" Secretary Yu pretended to be indifferent, "Huh, I think this is just your excuse. Men always have an excuse for cheating. If you are really doing good for my family, Yu Xue, then you should obey my arrangement.
, you should stand up and protect her. If you marry my daughter, you will inevitably face my enemies. Without enough rights, you cannot protect her. I only ask you now, whether you are willing or not."
Cang Long's heart moved, and he suddenly understood what Secretary Yu was thinking, but he couldn't agree. Instead, he stood up, stretched out his hand to Yu Xue, and said, "Let's go home, okay?"
There were tears in Yu Xue's eyes, and she looked a little disappointed when she saw Cang Long. Suddenly she didn't know how to choose. On one side was her mother, and on the other was the person she loved most. When Cang Long made this decision, although she had been thinking about it in her heart
Comforting herself, he must have his own reasons, but she no longer thought about why he was unwilling to make sacrifices for herself, but was looking for excuses to deal with her mother's words.
"Let's go home." Canglong paused, "Okay?"
"Promise my mother, listen to me, just listen to me this time, okay?" Yu Xue suddenly said, her face begging.
"I really want to agree, but I can't, because..." Canglong hesitated, and finally shook his head and made a last-ditch effort, "Come home with me, okay?"
However, Yu Xue shook her head, her face expressionless: "Please, promise me, this is my only request, I will listen to you in everything from now on, okay?"
"Yu Xue, you don't need to beg him, because some people have already made up their minds. He cannot bear this responsibility, and he is not willing to be tied up by you for the rest of his life." Secretary Yu suddenly said, "If he is really willing, he should be obliged to do so.
If he loves you, he must first give you a complete family, instead of willfully hoping that your family will be broken up."
Canglong ignored Secretary Yu's words, just stretched out his hand and forced a smile: "Go back with me, okay?"
"This is my home." Yu Xue shook her head in disappointment.
She suddenly took off the jade pendant she wore around her neck. It was a winged bird given to her by Canglong. She would like to be a winged bird in heaven and a Lian Lizhi on earth. At this moment, she even thought of Canglong's words, but she didn't.
Thinking about how fragile words can be.
Yu Xue put the jade pendant in Cang Long's hand, turned around and went back to her room, tears welling up in her eyes.
Canglong's hands were trembling, and the jade pendant fell to the ground without holding it firmly, breaking into several pieces. He watched blankly as Yu Xue returned to her room, closed the door, squatted down, and picked up the fallen piece.
He held the bird in several pieces tightly in his hand, glanced at Secretary Yu, and left Secretary Yu's house.
Secretary Yu was surprised to find that Cang Long's hand holding Suiyu was constantly shaking, and bright red blood was dripping from his hand. At this moment, she suddenly felt unbearable in her heart. Maybe this young man really loved her deeply.
Daughter, maybe he really has some unspeakable reason behind it, but as a mother, Secretary Yu cannot trust his daughter to him.
"He is still too young." Secretary Yu shook his head and suddenly remembered the person in his heart. He felt that Canglong was the same person as himself. There were some things that he really couldn't say because it would mean bringing disaster to the people around him.
.
"Your hand?" Heiman looked at Canglong walking out of Secretary Yu's house with a dazed look on his face, and his face changed, especially Canglong's bloody left hand.
Canglong returned to the co-pilot's seat, opened his hands and looked at the broken bird stupidly, with no expression on his face.
The broken white jade stone pricked his hand under Cang Long's tight grip, mixed with his blood, and lost its original luster, as if he was crying.
Heiman didn't ask any more questions, just silently waiting for Canglong's order.
I don't know how long it took, Cang Long suddenly took out a handkerchief, wrapped the bloody bird in the handkerchief and put it away. He didn't blame Yu Xue, because any woman would probably not know it in her heart when her man made such a decision.
It feels good, but he won't give in so easily, otherwise Secretary Yu's plan will really succeed.
"Drive to Oriental International." Canglong's tone was cold.
Heiman nodded. This Oriental International is a company. If Secretary Yu is still here, he may be surprised, because this company is the dark horse that they have a headache for. Its full name is Oriental International Co., Ltd., and it is also the headquarters of Canglong.
The anonymous company registered by Ah Cai, the legal person and the general manager are both insignificant people.
"What do you want to do?" Heiman couldn't help but ask on the way.
