Xue Ling couldn't be smarter, and he immediately understood the hidden meaning in his words.
"What? You feel that you have not reached the peak of your life, so you are not willing to step back?"
Xue Heng walked around the steering wheel and chuckled: "You know me, Lingling. You said I am already in my early fifties, but since I graduated, I have been working with my uncle, and then behind you, almost thirty years ago."
After 20 years, I always feel that I still have to reach a peak, otherwise I would not be willing to give up."
"What does 'peak' mean?" Xue Ling couldn't help but laugh and asked, "Every mountain is higher than the other. Where can you find the real peak?"
Xue Heng curled his lips in frustration and said: "The earth is so big, and the highest peak is Mount Everest. If you don't take a look, try it, and measure it, you won't know which mountain is the real peak."
Xue Ling sat comfortably on the desk and chair and asked funnyly: "Then what do you use to measure your peak? Hmm? How much money do you make specifically? Or which position you reach?"
"This... I haven't thought about it yet." Xue Heng explained: "But I always have an intuition that the peak of my life has not yet appeared - I have to endure it for a while."
"How stupid!"
There are peaks and climaxes in every stage? Is it possible that those cannot become your ‘Mount Everest’?”
"No way!" Xue Heng argued: "They are none of them. How can I deceive myself and others?"
Xue Ling couldn't help but roll his eyes and became serious.
"A Heng, I advise you to step back, otherwise your body may not be able to bear it. Look, uncle Lan and aunt fell ill at the same time recently. Your family hired two nannies, but you work during the day and at night.
Accompanying the elderly is still exhausting, physically and mentally exhausted. My uncle and aunt are getting older year by year, and your physical strength is getting worse year by year. You can still work hard now, but are you sure you can still work hard in the next few years?
Have you ever looked in the mirror? You have a lot more gray hair recently than before."
"I -" Xue Heng was still unwilling and whispered: "I am old in body but not old in heart. I am quite confident in myself."
Xue Ling shook his head: "Ah Heng, you and I are not outsiders. There is no need to say some hypocritical words. Let me ask you, you have followed my father since you were young and vigorous, and now you have been the general manager of the branch for many years. What do you think?
Have you ever had no confidence in yourself? When you get older, how can your heart not grow old? Your ambition can no longer keep up with your energy, do you know that?"
"I just need a 'Mount Everest' of my own." Xue Heng explained gloomily: "As long as it appears, I will immediately step back. Only when it appears can I be willing to settle down and live the rest of my life."
Xue Ling still shook his head: "Why are you forcing yourself like this? Aren't you aware of the fierce struggle in the group and the strong pressure from the scientific research department in recent years? Duoduo fired a dozen middle-level people in their forties a while ago.
Leaders, just because their ideas are outdated and their technical operations cannot keep up with this era. To be honest, they actually work very hard, but they are old and can no longer keep up with the 'wolf-like' corporate culture that Duoduo admires.
, so I had to resign voluntarily. Starting a business now is very different from before."
"I... maybe I have to start a new business." Xue Heng pursed his lips and said: "This way I won't be restricted to this height. The branch has always relied on the group to live, and I can only rely on this height to not go up or down. Wait for this
After I feel stable for a while, I will withdraw some of the money and invest in a new project."
"Yeah." Xue Ling listened patiently and asked: "What project?"
Xue Heng seemed to have thought about it before, saying: "Private hospital project."
"Oh?" Xue Ling asked: "Which aspect? These are not your expertise. Don't try it easily."
Xue Heng couldn't laugh or cry: "Can't you have more confidence in me? Can't you hope that I will be well? If I step back like this, I will regret it for the rest of my life! Really!"
"Really?" Xue Ling sighed helplessly: "If that's the case, then go ahead and vote."
She was worried that if he voted, he might really regret it for the rest of his life. If he didn't vote, at least he would just have hidden expectations in his heart and be a little unwilling.
Anyway, he is not short of money now, and he does not have to worry that if he fails and falls, his family will not be able to survive.
Xue Huan is now very powerful, and she cannot afford to watch him lose.
"Really?" Xue Heng snorted softly on the tip of his nose: "Your tone is very perfunctory!"
On weekends, the city is full of traffic, and in many places it is impossible to move even if it is blocked for half an hour.
The two of them drove slowly and continued to chat about the previous topic.
Xue Ling nodded: "I am indeed perfunctory, and it is impossible to support it. First, I really don't have the time and energy to strive for a second career. I must do what I can. Second, I am not familiar with this industry.
, so I won’t support it rashly.”
Xue Heng shook his head: "Don't be afraid, Ah Huan and his wife are very experienced. I plan to buy a piece of land on the outskirts of the city and develop it into a high-end private hospital. The best doctors and nurses will be invited to work in it. The environment will be first-class, the equipment will be first-class, and the service will be excellent."
A first-class private high-end hospital.”
"Hmm." Xue Ling asked curiously: "Then what? How can you quickly reach your 'Mount Everest'? According to you, how many chain hospitals must be opened at least, and how many years of investment can you make money?"
Xue Heng replied: "In ten or twenty years. I plan to open a chain hospital. Then I can learn the chain store model and open branches, let others join, and then look for opportunities to go public."
When Xue Ling heard that his intuition was very unreliable, he reminded: "Hospital services are much more complicated than ordinary services, and it will take at least five years to build a good reputation for a hospital."
After pausing for a second, she reminded again: "You are in your early fifties now, and you will be over fifty in five years. If you can successfully go public in twenty years, you will be at least in your seventies by then."
"You are not old in your seventies!" Xue Heng said: "Look at my father and my mother, they are still very strong in their seventies."
Xue Ling was weak: "It's true that you are tough, but it is also true that you can't do anything. Then work hard and spend money to build a hospital! Come on!"
"You... don't you think it's good?" Xue Heng couldn't help but ask: "Aren't you going to take a share? If this project is done well, you can still make a lot of money in the future!"
Xue Ling shook his head: "No, I'm different from you. I have a very good mentality. When I get tired and can't keep up, just quit automatically. There's no need to pursue the peak or not. When I was young, I loved fighting. It's instinct.
I have to. Things are different now. I just want to spend more time with my family and children. I just need to adjust my mentality whether I am at my peak or not."
