I didn't look out the window or eat first, but took the newspaper I just bought downstairs and slowly read it. I've been reading newspapers a lot recently, and I found that newspapers are really a kind of
Good thing, it can let me know what the officials are busy with, what is going on, how far housing prices have risen, how the stock market is changing, what kind of tidbits are happening with entertainment stars, and various companies currently.
You can even learn about people’s requirements for choosing a spouse from the recruitment conditions issued in the middle of the newspaper, because that place often publishes some matchmaking information. In short, I think newspapers are really good. They depict us.
The huge picture of the whole society in Jiangnan and the dazzling variety of news in it made me realize that my surroundings are so full of life and fun. And it is very cheap, a newspaper only costs 50 cents. Of course I know, this is the middle of the newspaper
Those ads lowered its cost.
Sure enough, she came.
I didn't realize she was coming until she sat down opposite me. Just now, I had been immersed in the interesting news in the newspaper, almost reaching a state of selflessness.
Then he put the newspaper aside, then nodded to her politely, smiled, "Here? Let's talk while eating."
But she didn't move or dare to look at me, "I don't want to eat."
I laughed and said, "How can you do without eating? Even if you want to lose weight, you have to eat lunch? You have to eat nutritious food in the morning, have a full lunch, fill your stomach full, and just do whatever you want in the evening.
It's okay not to eat. This is a healthy way of eating. You see, everything I order is low-fat and low-calorie. Eat, I'm starving."
She actually smiled and picked up the chopsticks.
I was secretly happy because the goal I needed was achieved: a conversation between two people needs a relaxed atmosphere, so that it is easier for the other party to accept their point of view.
"How is it? Does it taste good?" I started to eat and asked her at the same time.
She nodded, "Yeah."
I said: "Eating is all about nutrition and taste. Nutrition should be the first priority. Even if the food is unpalatable if it has the right ingredients, people will not starve to death. The taste should be considered secondly. This is called
The pursuit of perfection. In fact, we people only eat three meals a day, and at most we have one extra meal at night, drink some late beer with friends, and then go back to sleep. Even if we sleep on a bed that is one foot wide, we are still sleeping.
After that, we don’t know anything anymore, so we don’t need so many requirements. People, that’s all. Of course, we hope to eat in five-star hotels, dream of driving luxury cars, and also hope to have huge wealth.
Power, these are things that everyone wants to pursue. This is the life that each of us hopes to have. This is understandable. Not long ago, something happened in our hospital. A deputy director
Chang was hospitalized in our cadre ward for a physical examination, but one morning it was discovered that he was not breathing. Later, after a postmortem examination, it was discovered that he had suffered a cardiac infarction in his sleep. Look, what does this person mean? Maybe
Everything will completely change tomorrow, and everything I pursue will no longer exist tomorrow. Therefore, I think it is best to maintain a normal mentality. You can have dreams, and it is necessary to pursue them, but they must be realistic.
You must come at the right time, and this kind of life is worth pursuing and enjoying."
I talked so much, but these words were not what I really wanted to say, I just said whatever came to my mind. Although this method will make the other party think that my language is confusing and aimless, but for
It is very beneficial in terms of conversation, because this method can give the other party an illusion: as if this person has not deliberately prepared. Then she will give up her inner vigilance and precautions, and then integrate her heart into me.
.
She didn't speak. It was obvious that she knew what I was going to say in the end, and some of her words couldn't be said at all. For me, the most taboo thing now is to immediately touch the most substantive things between her and Kang Demao.
: House and job transfer matters.
I glanced at her and then asked her: "Tao Tao, let me ask you a question: Do you know what a man cares about most?"
She didn't come to see me, but she still asked me in a very low voice, "What do you care about most?"
I said: "Some people say that what we men care about most are only three things, money, beauty and power. In fact, this statement is wrong. What we men care about most is self-esteem and ideals. This is what is deep in a man's heart.
A bottom line that must never be touched. Self-esteem is the only reason for a man to live confidently in this world, and ideals are the continuation of self-esteem. This problem is too big, so I won’t go into it, but I want to talk to you about it.
Kang Demao. You know he is my classmate. He spent his entire middle school period in the shadow of poverty because his family was very difficult. In order to get rid of the poverty of several generations of his family, he studied hard and then passed the exam.
After becoming a graduate student, and then step by step until now, his life is really not easy. This time, he has been included by the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee as a candidate to serve in the county and city, which is very important for his life.
A very important step. Not long ago, he asked me more than once whether he would go to a prefecture-level city to be the deputy mayor or return to his hometown to be the county magistrate. You should know that the county magistrate has a lower level than the deputy mayor.
Half a grid, but then he chose the road back to his hometown. Tao Tao, do you know why he chose this way?"
She shook her head, "I know about this, but I don't know why."
I said: "I can tell you, it's because of self-esteem. In middle school, many people looked down on him, including our head teacher, so he chose this path now. His purpose of doing this is to make the people in his hometown look down on him."
People know what an excellent person he is and what an ambitious person he is. In the final analysis, he is trying to heal his self-esteem that has been greatly hurt. Tao Tao, do you understand now? Self-esteem is the most important thing to a man.
How important! But what about you? At this time, at the most critical moment in his life, you are ready to destroy it! This is something that no man can forgive. Even if you get what you want temporarily through this method
Everything, but that is only temporary. I think it is very necessary to remind you of this. Tao Tao, we should be friends, right? Do you think material things are more important than the emotions of friends? "
She said: "I am a woman. I should get what I want after I pay. Where did I go wrong?"
Only then did I realize that I was still too excited and actually said some things in advance. You know, she is obsessed with money now.
However, I was still a little angry at what she just said. I was stunned for a moment and then asked her: "Then, let me ask you another question. Tao Tao, didn't you and I also have that kind of relationship? Why didn't you come here?
I want these things? Do you think Kang Demao is better at talking?"
She doesn't speak.
At this time, I became even more curious, so I continued: "You also know about me, so you can threaten me? If it is because I have a good relationship with your president, then Kang Demao also
Are you familiar with her? Tell me why?"
She still didn't speak.
I suddenly felt that this matter was not as simple as I thought at the beginning. This woman was not so easily persuaded.
I started to get impatient, "Why don't you answer me?"
But she stood up immediately, "I won't tell you anymore. I'm full."
I immediately panicked, "Tao Tao, you can't do this. Do you understand? Do you have to let me go and talk to your president about this?"
She smiled lightly, "You won't go to her, you don't dare."
I couldn't help being stunned. Indeed, I didn't dare to go to Chang Bailing because I couldn't tell her about Kang Demao. This could only be used as a way and means to put pressure on the woman in front of me, but it was impossible to put it into effect.
Yu implemented it. However, what I didn't expect was that she saw through my intention.
At this moment, my heart was pounding: Why is she so calm? Why is she not afraid that her affairs will be exposed? Is it really because she is so greedy that she is blinded by greed?
Suddenly, I thought of a possibility... "Tao Tao, wait! Let me ask you, did someone instruct you to do this?"
She shook her head violently, "No!"
I was almost sure of my guess immediately, because she denied it too quickly. However, she was already leaving. It was impossible for me to catch her because this place was a public place. In desperation, I faced her
He said from behind: "You have to think carefully and don't get involved in things you shouldn't get involved in! You are a woman and don't have much social background, so you have to think carefully."
She paused, then left quickly.
I immediately sat back in my seat slumped.
Now, I can't help but think about a question: How should I reply to Kang Demao?
I no longer have the slightest appetite, because I have been enveloped by the frustration of failure. I did not expect that things would turn out like this. Now I am even more worried: Who was this woman instructed by?
Isn’t that right? Suddenly, I thought of another thing: If she was really instigated by someone, then she should directly ruin Kang Demao’s reputation through what happened that night. By the way, it’s very possible.
This way: Behind Tao Tao may be her man, or maybe... the underworld, that's impossible, right? If that's really the case, it would be terrible.
For this reason, I dare not tell Kang Demao, because all this is just a guess, so there is no need to cause huge psychological pressure on Kang Demao.
Now, I feel that the most important thing for me is to immediately prepare the money for Kang Demao. Perhaps this is the most effective way to temporarily avoid this disaster.
After settling the bill, I immediately drove to Jiangnan Group. On the way, I called Lin Yi and asked, "Are you in the group now?" (To be continued)
