Chapter 22 Quoting the Scriptures

"Why can't girls be programmers? This is stereotyping and discriminating. Are programmers bad?"

Xia Xu felt that he had an obligation to lead this little white flower into the right path.

How can you not like programming? This is a five-star talent. If it is wasted, it will be a waste of money. There is no future in being a rich woman and a rich wife.

"No, no, I don't dislike it. I just don't think I have the talent in this area. I don't even..."

Tang Youxin swung her white and tender little palms and hurriedly explained.

"Then you mean you don't believe me?"

Xia Xu's face fell.

Tang Youxin quickly shook her head: "No, but..."

"Nothing is wrong."

Xia Xu held her cheek and stopped her from shaking her head while looking directly into her eyes seriously: "What I said is true. You are very talented in this area. You can even be said to be a super genius. The training agreement mentioned before

It's not a joke either.

If possible, I would be very happy to support your study expenses, in exchange for your job after you complete your studies. This is not friendship or sympathy, but a normal transaction that I am happy to do and even very eager to do."

"don't want."

Tang Youxin seemed to be very unaccustomed to looking at others, or maybe she was unaccustomed to Xia Xu's scorching gaze. After a slight struggle, she lowered her head, still using a cowardly tone and a firm refusal.

Hearing the same answer, Xia Xu felt helpless and disappointed.

"I...I'll try it."

Just when Xia Xu was disappointed, the timid voice of a weak mosquito suddenly sounded.

Xia Xu was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized and somewhat understood what Xiao Baihua meant.

This refusal is not a refusal to learn programming or come to work for him, but a refusal of the training agreement and his "funding".

Whether it is out of self-respect and stubbornness, out of lack of confidence in oneself, or out of unwillingness to owe too much and cause the relationship between the two parties to deteriorate, in short, Xiaobaihua actually agrees and is willing.

Just knowing this is enough.

As for funding or not, well, that's not up to her.

If others can stop him from making money, can they also stop him from spending money? Isn't it easy to deal with such a little white flower who is like a little doormat?

"Okay, let's talk about this later."

It was already difficult for her to express her position in a low voice. Xia Xu didn't say anything more and chuckled: "Let's go. I'll take you home first. I'll clean up here tomorrow."

"Oh~ah? Take me home..."

Tang Youxin nodded obediently at first, but then she realized what Xia Xu meant and quickly shook her head like a rattle.

"No, this is not negotiable."

Xia Xu made a serious face: "What if you have an accident on the road? What if you meet a bad person? This will bring trouble to me. Your family will make trouble for me, and the police uncle will also make trouble for me..."

"Uncle policeman won't trouble you because of this..."

Xiao Baihua retorted weakly.

"That won't work. I'm afraid, what if I find you? I'm timid."

"Obviously you are the bad guy..."

"What did you say? Say it again?"

In the end, Xiao Baihua, who tried to argue with reason, was defeated by someone's unreasonableness and force, and had to be driven all the way to her door in a taxi.

Her home is also in an urban village near the school, but it's quite a distance away. It's much more dilapidated and complicated than Xia Xu's place, with all kinds of low-rise houses of antique quality and haphazardly built buildings.

The sheds form a complex street.

The only thing better than Xia Xu's residence is that it has a lot more human atmosphere. The doorways of all the neighbors face the street. Many people are sitting at the door to enjoy the cool air. They talk and laugh in groups, and some also do some small business.

, there are tuck shops or various snack bars open, and the lights are brightly lit at night.

"I have arrived."

Tang Youxin's slightly baby-fat cheeks had a hint of pink and shyness throughout the whole journey, and the atmosphere in the car seemed to be filled with silence and gradually fermenting charm.

After she parked her car, her stiff body relaxed slightly, and she hurriedly said that she was about to pick up her schoolbag and run away.

"etc."

Xia Xu got out of the car immediately, and while holding her, he took out a few hundred-yuan bills from his pocket and said funny: "Why, you don't even want your salary? Let other bosses know that employees like you are very valuable."

It’s going to be crazy fun.”

"I didn't do much work today...and it's not a hundred?"

Tang Youxin dodged for a moment.

"This one hundred is the salary, and the other five hundred is the bonus. You are the most important and indispensable to recruit a talent like Lao Yang today, You Xin!"

Xia Xu stuffed six bills over.

"I don't……"

"I don't want it, right?"

Tang Youxin was about to refuse, but Xia Xu had already learned to answer quickly, smiled helplessly, and then said seriously: "This bonus is not for you, but to set rules and serve as an incentive. You will take the lead and set an example.

Motivate others to recommend talents.”

"But there's no one else..."

The little white flower Nuonuo argued hard.

"This is a rule. There must be a beginning. No one else is needed."

Xia Xu made a serious face: "Do you know that not asking for money is a very big mistake, and it is even harming me? Haven't you heard the allusions about Zilu's salvation and Zigong's redemption?"

"No... never heard of it."

Xiao Baihua looked scared, not because she was scared by Xia Xu's fierceness, but because Xia Xu looked confident and confident, which made her feel a little emboldened.

Am I wrong? Is it wrong to not want money?

"Two disciples of Confucius. Zilu saved a drowning man and received a reward of thanks, and was praised by Confucius. Zigong advanced money to redeem his compatriots who were sold into slaves, but did not ask for ransom from the state, and was scolded by Confucius."

Xia Xu briefly summarized the two allusions, then took on the attitude of a Chinese teacher and said calmly: "Do you know why?"

"Why...why?"

When she heard that Xia Xu had even moved the sage Confucius, Tang Youxin felt even more guilty.

"You save people, and you don't need to be rewarded for your high moral character, but you can't expect everyone to be as moral as you.

If you don't want to repay others, you won't be able to repay them if they encounter this kind of thing. Many people are unwilling to do useless things, and you may not be able to save people who are drowning when you see them in the future.

On the contrary, if it is agreed that anyone who rescues a drowning person can receive rewards and benefits, won’t other people also enthusiastically rescue people when they see it?

Is a little reward more important or your life more important? Or is your noble morality more important?

Is it the same reason when you refuse to accept money? Will it mean that no one will be willing to find and recommend talents to me in the future?"

Xia Xu had a straight face, but it happened that he was not eloquently reasoning, but citing scriptures in a compelling manner.

Tang Youxin looked at a loss and was speechless.

Xia Xu still didn't let her go, and said with a straight face: "The same principle applies to Zigong's redemption of people. You do good deeds without expecting anything in return and are even willing to suffer losses. Do you still hope that everyone in the world will not seek rewards in return and would rather suffer losses?"

Do good things?

Just follow your example. If others don't imitate you, they will appear to be of low moral character. If they imitate you, they will suffer losses. Naturally, they are unwilling to engage in such a loss-making business. Doesn't this mean that I will no longer be able to recruit other people to work for me?

No one recommends me talents or even wants to be my employee. Am I going to go bankrupt? If I go bankrupt, all my money will be gone. I will have to starve to death in the future. The impact of business failure will also affect the college entrance examination..."

"I...I...I'm sorry, I didn't mean it."

Listening to the series of negative consequences and chain reactions described by Xia Xu, Tang Youxin looked guilty, aggrieved, and at a loss.

"What's the use of apologizing? You have to take action and take it."

Xia Xujiang grabbed Tang Youxin's right hand, opened his palm, and slapped six banknotes on it.

After thinking about it, he took back three more and said with a straight face: "For human reasons, I won't force you to accept them all. The cash reward is only two hundred, and the three hundred will be used as food supplement. I will pay for it as food expenses."

Collect it on your behalf.”

"oh oh."

Xiao Baihua, who was so dizzy after being fooled, obediently took the money and walked home in a daze.
