Grandpa sat down a little weakly, and he didn't know if he had a little regret in his heart, but the words that Xu Lao stood up were enough to make everyone present speechless.

Especially the eldest aunt, her face was bloodless, and she said in a mournful manner: "This little thief, why is it that Old Xu values him so much!"

Chen Mengqi has completely lost her voice, and she has been hit repeatedly, so that she has lost completely, and she can't even say a word of sarcasm.

After I finished toasting, I walked back to my seat under the gaze of everyone, Chu Tian whispered: "I'm worried about you in vain, I thought it was Mr. Xu begging Grandpa Xu to save you, but I didn't expect Grandpa Xu himself to value you so much, with Grandpa Xu's words today, no one will dare to underestimate you in the circle in the future." ”

Chu Tian's words are true, the people that Xu Lao values, whoever wants to deal with them will probably have to weigh and weigh, but I also know very well in my heart that I am still just a fox and a fake tiger, and I don't have any strength myself.

However, Mr. Xu's words brought me a direct feeling that even Wang Zhiyue and others looked at me a little, and it seemed that it was not the same as before.

The banquet was coming to an end, my grandfather took the lead in getting up and saying goodbye, Xu Lao didn't stay, the guests gradually dispersed, Chu Tian asked me if I wanted to go with him, just Xu Yingying came over to me and said, "Chen Feng, don't go first, I still have something to look for you." ”

I nodded, Chu Tian left with Wang Zhiyue and the others first, Xie Yao didn't embarrass me anymore, and after the guests were almost finished, Xu Yingying said, "My grandfather is by the lake, he asked you to go over to find him." ”

I knew that it was definitely not what Teacher Xu meant to keep me, I walked out of the clubhouse, walked along the lake for a while, and sure enough, I saw Mr. Xu, and went up and called Grandpa Xu respectfully.

Xu Lao turned his head, smiled at me and said, "Come, come with me?"

I followed behind Mr. Xu, he was holding his hands, his steps were firm, I couldn't tell that it was an old man of ancient age, Mr. Xu asked me with a smile: "Are you still satisfied with tonight's party?"

I was stunned for a moment and said, "I'm not suitable for this kind of occasion, you also know that my status is low, this kind of place, I should come less in the future." ”

Xu Lao laughed heartily and said: "There is no distinction between high and low personality, but because of the environment we are in and our identities are different, there will be levels and classes of talents, but you don't have to be arrogant, some people are born noble, but most people are also born poor." Today I asked you to come, just to let you see this so-called level and class, of course, Ningjiang is a very small place, leaving here, there is a higher level, a broader world, it seems that you have not come in vain this trip, and what you have experienced during this time has not been experienced in vain!"

I said solemnly: "Grandpa Xu is as kind to me as a mountain, maybe I have no chance to repay in this life, but I will definitely remember it in my heart and dare not forget." ”

Xu Lao waved his hand and said: "You don't have to be so obsessed with grievances and grievances, I won't help people for no reason, and others won't harm you for no reason, and the reason why I help you is very simple, because some of your experiences and life are really similar to when I was young." I have suffered more than you have suffered at that time. I have known countless people in my life, although I dare not say that I am sharp-eyed, but I can also see one or two, I see in you that you have a great future in the future, maybe a hundred years later, the Xu family will not have me, and the juniors of the Xu family will really need your help in the future!"

I said humbly: "Grandpa Xu is serious, with the current status of the Xu family, it will not collapse in a hundred years, where is my turn to help." ”

Xu Lao said: "The Xu family also has many opponents, and they wish that the Xu family would fall as soon as possible, but I am afraid that as soon as I, an old man, fall, the Xu family will be in trouble." Well, these things aside, the future is always too far away. Do you know Chu Mingyu, the number one in Ningjiang now?"

I said that I can often see it on TV, Xu Lao said: "Chu Mingyu's background is not better than yours, I just promoted him a little at the beginning, although he can't be said to be accomplished now, but he is also a little promising, so you don't have to be arrogant, as long as you work hard enough, your vision must be broad enough, and you can see far enough, so that you can go further." ”

I rolled my eyes, Chu Mingyu is already the number one in Ningjiang, this is still a bit outstanding, is it a bit extraordinary? It is estimated that only people like Xu Lao can have such arrogance.

But his words touched me very deeply, I am now like a frog at the bottom of a well, my vision can see only such a big piece of sky, when can I jump out of this well, can I see the farther and wider sky, even if it is a frog at the bottom of the well, we must learn to imagine how big the sky outside is, instead of only seeing the big part of the slap in front of me.

I followed Mr. Xu around the lake, his words were not unfathomable, but there was always a truth in them, which helped me open my eyes and broaden my thinking.

The ancients said that listening to your words is better than reading for ten years, and a conversation with Xu Lao, I really feel that it is better than what I have learned in ten years of study, these things are not learned in school.

We walked around and walked to a villa, and Mr. Xu said, "I'm a little tired today, so you should go back early to rest." The choice of how to go in the future is still in your hands. ”

I nodded, Xu Yingying sat on the BMW next to me and waited for me, I was just about to get in the car, Xu Lao, who had already walked to the door, asked me, "Do you know how to play chess?"

I shook my head and said that I didn't know much, and Xu Lao said: "Study hard, and you can come and play chess with me when you have time in the future!"

I got into Xu Yingying's BMW, and the car drove out of the Yujingwan villa area, and then I said: "Actually, you don't need to send me back, I can take a taxi myself." ”

Xu Yingying ignored me, and when she was about to arrive at my house, she suddenly said to me: "Don't think that you have grandpa to support you today, and you can walk sideways in Ningjiang in the future, grandpa will help you build momentum, but at the same time, it will also push you to the cusp, your name will soon be known by people at all levels in Ningjiang, and Ningjiang is not only one Xu family, so you are so self-conscious, it is best to stay in school honestly and study hard." ”

I nodded and said, "Thank you for your concern." ”

Xu Yingying said: "If you are not my student, it has nothing to do with me whether you are in danger or not. Chen Feng, let me ask you, do you enjoy this level of feeling? Do you feel that from now on, you will be the upper class of Ningjiang?"

I don't know why Xu Yingying asked me that, but I still said without thinking: "Seriously, I hate this so-called circle, I am not a person in this circle in the first place, and I don't want to fit in." Maybe this is just my personal opinion, society is like this, no one can change it, but no matter what I want, I will stick to my own heart. ”

Xu Yingying didn't come back to me, and after stopping the car, she said lightly: "Get down, don't be late for class tomorrow." ”

I got out of the car, Xu Yingying didn't linger any longer, and disappeared from my field of vision in the car.

Xu Yingying is right, after tonight, many people should know that Xu Lao favors a young junior, which is helping me, but at the same time, it also pushes me to the wind, it seems that I am getting farther and farther away from the ordinary and quiet life I originally wanted.

All this is not what I want, but it is also not something I can choose, maybe since I got the first place, I am destined to not be able to go back to my old life.

The next day, I continued to go to class as usual, and Xie Yao would not come to me again, at least not on the surface, after all, she still had to give Xu Yingying's face, but inexplicably me, I couldn't see the way forward.

In the past, although I was bullied and had a low status, I could vaguely see a way forward, I could study hard, find a job, and then get married and have children. And now, my future is clouded with a layer of fog, which seems to be a smooth road, but under the fog, there is also a hidden trap that can make me never recover!
