This question of mine is indeed what I have always been puzzled about, because in my heart I always think that money is meaningless if there is too much money, especially for people like Lin Yi, whose
Money should be more like a number. Even though most of the money for his projects comes from banks, the money he has earned over the years will be more than he can use in his lifetime.
As a rich man, Lin Yi's life is actually very simple. He doesn't have many cars, nor is he particularly luxurious, nor does he own many properties. In addition, he is not particularly particular about his clothes, so he simply doesn't
It doesn't cost much.
Therefore, I can't understand why he keeps doing it like this. If he does it for his career, but he clearly says that he is tired of it. So, what is he doing for?
Lin Yi sighed and said: "Feng Xiao, you are still an official, why don't you understand my situation? Think about it, is it possible for me to leave now? In a company as big as mine, so many employees have to eat.
Today's Jiangnan Group can no longer be regarded as completely personal to me, because it bears a social responsibility that cannot be shied away from.
Also, the group has borrowed so much from the bank. If it does not continue to operate, how will the bank repay the loan? Think about it, why is the country now vigorously promoting the development of private enterprises? That is because private enterprises in a region
It has played a huge role in employment, taxation and other aspects. At the same time, it has also played a role in promoting the commercial and economic development of a region that state-owned enterprises cannot play at all. For a company as big as our Jiangnan Group, I am now doing pre-IPO work.
Some jobs, under such circumstances, it’s impossible to just give up, right?”
I nodded. What he said did make sense. It seemed that I did seem a bit narrow-minded.
He continued: "From the perspective of my personal safety, I absolutely cannot give up. As a legal person of Jiangnan Group, the leaders in the province attach great importance to me. A person's importance always depends on the soil that suits him.
The place.
Jiangnan Province is my hometown, and only here can the value of my life and my importance be fully reflected. What is the purpose of life? Many of us have thought about this question, and of course I have too.
People living at the bottom will think that people live just to eat, drink and have fun. But for me, material enjoyment such as eating, drinking and having fun is no longer particularly important. What I need more is the respect of others and I care more about my own dignity.
.Think about it, if I went abroad, would people like me still be important? They would definitely not be as important as I was in Jiangnan Province, right?"
What he is talking about is actually the level of pursuit of human beings. Of course I know and understand this. Now he has already crossed the stage of the most basic material needs, and has even completed the previous personal level of pursuit of life as a human being.
In the stage of struggle and being recognized by others, what he needs is a higher level of spiritual needs, that is, to always be valued by others, and to regard his own dignity as very important.
He continued: "There is a saying that goes like this: If a tree is as beautiful as the forest, the wind will destroy it. This is what I am now. As Jiangnan Group has developed to this day, it will definitely offend a lot of people because of various interests.
, this includes not only people in the business community, but also many officials. Even people like Ning Xiangru, although I have met all the conditions she proposed, does she not hate me at all in her heart? That is
impossible things.
People always pay special attention to their own interests, so no matter how good I do, I can't satisfy everyone. The police's suspicion of me today actually comes from this to a large extent. Our country
Is the law so fair and just? In fact, it is not like this. What is the law? It is just a reflection of interests.
Therefore, I must seek the protection of higher officials, because only higher-level officials can influence the law. Of course, I am not trying to trample on the law, but to make the law fairer to me. Now my Jiangnan Group is here, although
I have made so many contributions to the economic development of Jiangnan Province, but there are still people who want to touch me.
Feng Xiao, think about it, if I leave this country, then my importance will disappear at all. Wouldn't some people be more likely to kill me at that time? In the final analysis, Ning Xiangru's problem is just
It's just bribery, what about me? They are using so-called murder, drug dealing and other crimes to accuse me! Why bother to accuse me?
If I give up everything I am doing now, I may not even have the chance to appeal. That would be the most terrifying thing. Therefore, I cannot leave, and I have to make the company bigger and strive to go public as soon as possible. This world
That’s it, only when you become stronger will you have more say.”
I couldn't help but be silent, and at the same time I sighed in my heart. Now, I realized that it was really not easy for him, and I suddenly discovered that his pursuit had actually dropped to the lowest level - what he was looking for was actually a sense of security.
At this moment, my heart is very complicated and full of contradictions, because on the one hand I have to admit that what he said makes sense, but on the other hand, I still feel that there are many loopholes in his previous words.
The most important loophole is that even if Shi Yanni is intermittent mentally ill, it is unexplainable for her to do such things. Just imagine, can a mentally ill person have such strong abilities? She actually knows how to plant plants in the virgin forest
Opium? Also, how could Shangguan Qin obey her unconditionally like that when he knew she was mentally ill? This is the most fundamental flaw, and the rest of the details do not need to be analyzed.
But I didn’t want to ask him, because I thought what was going on here was terrible. And now I seemed to understand Lin Yi’s true intention of telling me these things: maybe he wanted me to mediate the “misunderstanding” between him and Tong Yao.
", rather than really asking me not to doubt him. In fact, he himself said that it is not important, and he has an indifferent attitude.
Therefore, I have been listening quietly and not saying much. There are some questions that I can no longer ask, and I dare not ask them again.
Lin Yi had been immersed in his own explanation just now and didn't seem to notice my reaction. But at this time, he suddenly noticed me and asked, "Why don't you speak?"
I smiled bitterly and said: "Uncle Lin, to be honest, I don't particularly care about such things. You have always been an elegant and wise elder in my heart. And I at least know that you have never asked me to go
I have done nothing illegal. I think this is enough."
He looked at me with a gentle smile in his eyes, "Feng Xiao, thank you. I didn't misjudge you. You are indeed a very upright person and very capable. From now on, you can do your best in officialdom.
, I will strongly support you if you need anything. Work hard and be an upright and selfless official. Even if you fail in the future, my Jiangnan Group will always open the door for you, so don't worry about anything, even if you fail.
Yes, the escape route is better than that of ordinary people."
I was very touched and said, "Uncle Lin, don't worry. I will do it."
He then suddenly asked me: "Feng Xiao, I would like to ask you something. The last incident about Tong Yao's expulsion was actually a lie. Is that so? Later she went to work in the Hong Kong Police Station. This incident was very serious.
Strange. I know that the Hong Kong Police Department will never easily accept a police officer who has been fired from the mainland. This is a political issue. Therefore, she should be from Interpol. This is the only explanation.
She must have told you the matter, right?" (To be continued)
