The teacher and student were one after another, Tao Ranzhi did not speak first, and Lu Shanmin did not dare to speak.
Although Lu Shanmin only went to elementary school, he never skipped classes or completed homework in his short primary school career. Even when he was in a high school finance department, he only slept for three or four hours a day.
He also completed the learning task assigned by Professor Ma Guodong without any compromise.
Tao Ranzhi asked him to publish at least three papers in international journals within three years, but there has been no progress in this period of time. Even the English books that Tao Ranzhi gave seemed very difficult.
As long as it is a student, there is no one who is not afraid of the teacher asking about homework, especially when the homework is not completed.
Lu Shanmin was the same, and he was very nervous.
Tao Ranzhi slowed down and finally said, "Are you nervous?"
Lu Shanmin took a step forward and walked side by side with Tao Ranzhi. "There is a little bit".
Tao Ranzhi said lightly: "Then are you here again?"
Lu Shanmin lowered his head slightly and said, "I have thought of escaping, but escaping will make me feel uneasy."
Tao Ranzhi said slowly: "You don't have to be nervous or uneasy. I'm just your nominal teacher. You don't have to take my words to heart. As for the tasks I assigned you, you don't have to take them seriously.
”.
Lu Shanmin felt a little sad and said nothing.
Tao Ranzhi said lightly: "I thought you would make some excuses, such as being too busy."
Lu Shanmin shook his head, "No excuse is not a reason."
Tao Ranzhi stopped and turned to look at Lu Shanmin, "I'm having a big deal, are you in trouble?"
Lu Shanmin also stopped, looking a little confused and depressed, "Too many things have happened recently."
Tao Ranzhi narrowed his eyes and stared at Lu Shanmin for a while, then raised his foot and walked forward slowly.
"Tell me, what do you want from me?"
Lu Shanmin felt a little ache, perhaps because he was already feeling depressed, Tao Ranzhi's words stinged his heart.
"Boss, in your opinion, are there no teacher-student relationship between us?"
Tao Ranzhi said lightly: "Isn't it because you come to me? Isn't it because I am a national economic adviser and a national think tank?"
Lu Shanmin felt bitter, but he could not refute that his purpose was not simple to be a disciple of Tao Ranzhi. A university professor, a famous economist, a national think tank, and a college classmate of Professor Ma Guodong back then.
There are not so many things in the world. All of this is planned in advance. Which ones need to be made, and which of these people need to be made are those who can be made, Zuo Qiu has already sorted out one for him.
The list is said to be a friend, but Lu Shanmin knew in his heart that it was actually just a use.
But this time I came to Tao Ranzhi to find no interest. He was really confused and depressed. This kind of depression could not be expressed in front of Zhou Tong and others, nor in front of Hai Dongqing. But he also
There needs to be someone, an elder, and a teacher to give him guidance, or comfort.
Lu Shanmin stopped, bowed deeply to Tao Ranzhi, and said, "Boss, I still have something to do, so I won't disturb you."
After saying that, Lu Shanmin turned around and moved forward slowly.
When you come, when you go, you are even more confused
.
Just a few steps away, a different sigh came from behind.
Lu Shanmin stopped and did not look back. Tao Ranzhi's voice came from behind.
"It's so easy to give up, it's getting less and less promising. You are like this and you still want to win"!
Lu Shanmin turned around and saw Tao Ranzhi taking steps forward with his hands behind his back.
"Please give me some advice."
"Let me have a walk."
Lu Shanmin was inexplicably moved and a little sad. He knew very well that he was far from as strong as others thought.
Follow Tao Ranzhi's footsteps and silently accompany Tao Ranzhi forward.
Tao Ranzhi sighed again, "Among the people I have met, you are a weirdo. You are a businessman, but you are less ruthless and less shameless. You are said to be
A scholar-oriented type, you are much more realistic than He Zhang and others." "Do you know what economic people are doing?"
Lu Shanmin nodded, "Of course I know."
Tao Ranzhi said slowly: "You may not know that even if you know, there are top scorers in every seventy-two industry. These top scorers undoubtedly have one thing in common, that is, stick to the way of the industry. Since you are a businessman, you should follow the way of businessmen.
The way is to be a pure economic person. This is the attribute of the industry and the law of social development. It is two different things with morality. The reason why you encounter walls everywhere is to confuse the personal way with the attribute of the industry.
It leads to your confusion now."
Lu Shanmin looked at Tao Ranzhi in surprise, unable to believe that this was said from his mouth.
Tao Ranzhi left Lu Shanmin like that, "Don't be surprised, economics is inherently inseparable from philosophy. My doctoral thesis was written as the application of philosophy in economics."
Lu Shanmin felt enlightened, "The boss hit the point and pointed it straight to the essence."
Tao Ranzhi shook his head, "What's the point? Until the essence? Many things are not difficult to see problems, but only to solve them. Let you be a purely profit-oriented businessman and use the thinking of an economic person to do things and be a person.
Can you do it? Can you withdraw now by giving up business and becoming a pure scholar?
Tao Ranzhi glanced at Lu Shanmin and continued, "Just like me, I know that I will be disappointed if I place hope on you, but didn't I still call you just now?"
"Hey," Tao Ranzhi sighed again, "Many times, many things are just for the sake of being ashamed."
Lu Shanmin nodded, the four words "just seek to be ashamed" alone were too heavy. "No matter how I do it, no matter whether I do it or not, I will be destined to be ashamed."
Tao Ranzhi said lightly: "People today, including students on this campus, are mostly refined egoism. It is rare that you can still consider others. However, if you do anything too much, you will overestimate it. You will consider others everywhere,
If other people's will lead their own judgment and actions, they will lose themselves and what is the difference between them and the walking zombie."
Lu Shanmin smiled bitterly. He hadn't asked himself what he wanted. What he wanted was too simple, that is, the mountains and rivers of Mazui Village, a building between the mountains and rivers, a yard outside the door, and a vegetable field.
.
"To say what the boss may not believe, how did I get to this day step by step? Even I feel like a dream. Just seven or eight years ago, I was a mountain villager in a mountain valley, with more than three floors.
Nothing was seen in the building
Pass".
Tao Ranzhi turned his head and looked at Lu Shanmin's eyes. The eyes were clean and clear, as ethereal as the morning light between mountains and rivers. He had seen similar eyes. When students from remote mountainous areas first arrived at university,
Often, they have more or less such eyes, but it will disappear in a few months.
Tao Ranzhi turned around and murmured: "This world seems colorful, but in fact it is nothing more than two colors of fame and fortune. I really hope you can make some different colors."
Lu Shanmin smiled bitterly and said, "Boss, you have respected me. From the time you walked out of Mazui Village to the present, you have experienced difficulties and hardships everywhere. I can't even live a good life for myself and can't even take care of the people around me.
OK, how can you achieve such a achievement? Sometimes when it’s late at night, I wonder why so many people have to rely on me for a person who is so ordinary that they all misunderstand it.”
Tao Ranzhi said lightly: "You can encounter so many extraordinary things, which proves that you are not ordinary. As for those difficulties, they are medals on your honor book in the future. Great achievements are all after overcoming difficulties.
Achievement. If a person has never encountered any difficulties in his life, it means that he has never overcome difficulties in his life, and then there is nothing meaningful to keep in his life."
Lu Shanmin's face gradually relaxed. After hearing Tao Ranzhi's words, this trip was not in vain.
"Boss, thank you."
Tao Ranzhi shook his head, "No need to thank me, it's just a few casual remarks from an old man, not worth mentioning."
Lu Shanmin said slowly: "You are not a few casual remarks, but the essence of your life experience."
Tao Ranzhi smiled, "You kid, your true colors are revealed again."
Lu Shanmin also laughed. This was the first time Tao Ranzhi smiled at him after he ripped Yang Xueli and He Ran to the East China Sea.
Tao Ranzhi sighed: "Sometimes, you don't hate it that much if you think about it."
Lu Shanmin was in a much better mood. He knew that from Han Yao, to Yang Xueli and He Ran, Tao Ran had a worse impression of him. If he hadn't been thinking about Professor Ma Guodong's old love, he would have long since refused to recognize him as a student.
"You and Professor Ma are both guiding lights on my life. If it weren't for you, I would have taken many detours in my life."
Tao Ranzhi glanced at Lu Shanmin. At first, he really reluctantly accepted this student because of Ma Guodong's face, but later, was it really entirely because of Ma Guodong? Even he himself couldn't say it clearly. He kept saying that he was very
Ordinary students are the most extraordinary students he has ever met in recent years. As he said just now, he hopes to see some different colors from Lu Shanmin. As for what colors it is, he is also not clear.
"The biggest constant in this world is that it is changing all the time. Human progress needs to stand on the shoulders of predecessors, but in the final analysis, it still requires later development and creation to create things that were not before."
Lu Shanmin thought about something and nodded after a while, "Do you think something needs to change?"
Tao Ranzhi raised his head slightly, with a faint worry in his eyes.
"The process of change is painful and difficult, because there are always some people who don't like to change and don't want to change."
As he said that, Tao Ranzhi turned to look at Lu Shanmin, "Do you know who it is?"
