Chapter Forty-Three: The Wildness of a Man
This is a war without gunpowder, and it has begun. Someone will be a beneficiary of the war, and someone will be a victim. And those who are often injured are all minions who are charging on the front line. When the war is out of control, there will be mediators to mediate, and then the high-level leaders of the two sides who provoke the war will drink and talk and negotiate the distribution of benefits.
Any form of war, is played within this rule.
Liu Xin has already entered the game, can he come out?
After chatting with Su Qing about some things again, she went to work in the morning and afternoon. The situation is like this, Liu Xin has to change the way of playing. Now that you've been invited to the chessboard, how about playing chess with them? Treat yourself as a chess piece, then let this chess piece counterattack and eat Shuai.
I'm going to report to the new company tomorrow, and I may not be able to play chess with Mr. Sun in the future. Thinking of Old Man Sun's old fox-like smile and the fumigation and teaching over this period of time, his mood is so calm.
Old Man Sun planted a seed of ambition in his heart, and what happened today didn't he water it and let it start to sprout?
Ambition, as long as it sprouts, will grow wildly. A once beautiful son, a special forces career tempered him, when the ambitious ** grows in his heart, what turbulent waves will be set off?
The tribulations that preceded them were nothing more than catalysts for the germination of the seeds.
He didn't have a job, he didn't wander the streets, and went straight home. Time is precious to him now. In order to make up for the regret that he only went to the first year of college, he frantically made up all kinds of knowledge. From economics to power schemes, to forecasting, etc., everything is seen and learned.
During this time, he had just finished reading "Thick Black Learning" by Master Li Zongwu, the leader of the Thick Black Sect, and for him at present, "Thick Black Learning" was still a bit deep, and he was ready to read it for the second time.
After reading the book for more than three hours, he was a little dizzy when he read it, but the gain was quite large. glanced at the "Biography of Zeng Guofan" that I had just bought from Dangdang, and Wang Yuewen's "Chinese Painting", and felt that there was really not enough time.
Desperately absorbing nutrients and absorbing knowledge, but I don't want to be a pawn forever. remembered that his father was finally kicked out of the circle of power because he didn't understand the business relationship, and ended up with an early retirement. He wanted to make himself proficient in scheming. And the family situation made him have an unprecedented desire for money.
Power and money, like drugs, are too easy for men to get addicted to. Especially now that the seeds of ambition have taken root in the heart.
After looking at the time, there were still two hours before the appointment with Mr. Sun, and he went to the vegetable market around the community to buy some food and cook some food.
By the time we finished eating, it was almost time. When he arrived at the agreed place every day, Old Man Sun had just arrived, looking at Liu Xin on time, he smiled slightly, and then spread out the chessboard and set up the chess pieces.
In the past few days, I have been fighting with Mr. Sun, but I have never won against him, and practicing Tai Chi is far away. However, playing chess through guò made him understand a lot of things.
Enlightenment is enlightenment, and it is still necessary to see the high and low on the chessboard. He thought about winning a set no matter what he wanted today. He is still quite confident in himself, and he has found a chess book to read several times in the past few days.
has already lost five sets, Liu Xin's forehead is oozing sweat, and her heart is starting to be a little impatient.
What's going on? In front of the old man, he didn't even have a chance to draw. As soon as he was in a hurry, he played chess without ideas and rules, and as a result, he lost two more games, and he lost faster than before.
Liu Xin didn't believe in this evil a little, and wanted to rearrange the chess pieces and want to play again. But the old man squeezed his hand with a smile, shook his head and said, "Young man, your heart is already messed up, and you still lose." ”
Liu Xin scratched his head and said with a smile: "How do you know if my heart is in turmoil." ”
"If your mind is not disturbed, why don't you think about the consequences?" The old man said meaningfully: "Playing chess, pay attention to a strategy, a layout, and control the game." Every time you make a move, you should think about how the next five or six moves will come. You have to be willing, you always want to protect every chess piece, and you are not willing to give up the pieces, how can you play well? "Playing chess, so much attention?" Liu Xin listened very carefully. In fact, these simple truths that Old Man Sun talked about are also in "Thick Black Studies", and now they are just actual exercises.
Old Man Sun didn't speak, just put away the chessboard. Squinted his eyes and glanced at Liu Xin, and said with a smile: "Something happened today?" “
Liu Xin felt a cold sweat in his heart, the old man is too godly, can he even see that he is in trouble? "When you play chess, you are restless, with affection, if it weren't for the trouble, would it be this kind of expression?" The old man stared at Liu Xin's eyes and said. "Oh, that's right." Liu Xin told the morning story as it was. In front of the old man, he didn't want to hide anything. At the same time, I also hope to get some guidance from the old man.
Old Man Sun nodded with a smile, pondered for a moment, and said, "Young man, you see, what happened to you is actually the same as our game of chess. You are not calm when you encounter problems, you are easily impatient, and your layout and control ability have improved. The reason why you lose in chess is because you don't have a strong control over the situation. ”
Liu Xin nodded and was taught. Old Man Sun is right, this is his current shortcoming, and it is precisely because of this that he is caught in the whirlpool of this struggle without knowing it. Even when fighting with Wang Chengming and a group of people, they were also falling into the game they had arranged step by step.
"What should I do?" After pondering for a long time, Liu Xin raised his head, looked at Old Man Sun and said.
Old Man Sun had a scheming smile on his face, he patted Liu Xin's shoulder, and said with a smile: "Since you are in the game, you should be a troublemaker." It's good to catch fish in muddy water, you have to muddy the water first. ”
"What exactly?" Liu Xin was a little confused.
"Hey, cold salad." The old man stood up and said with a smile. After speaking, he carried the chess, and no matter how Liu Xin asked questions behind him, he always smiled and remained silent.
Old Man Sun went back, and the sunset sprinkled on his back as he was free and indifferent, and seemed to see through it.
In the past few days, Liu Xin, a neighbor in the community who practiced in the morning, also has a little understanding of Old Man Sun. According to legend, Old Man Sun used to be a particularly beautiful person. As for how beautiful it is, it is unknown.
Be a spoiler and muddy the waters. But how do you mess with it now? The shape is not clear, even if he is standing in the faction of the Zhou Witch, he is only a low-level employee, and I am afraid that it will not play a big role.
So, what are the intentions of Zhou Witch to arrange herself in a subordinate decoration company? Is exiling oneself from the whirlpool of struggle a temporary compromise or a long-term layout?
And for the final Zhou Witch's decision, ** and others finally compromised. If they plan this thing, and if they don't get the results they want, will they give up?
Or: the decoration company will be another battlefield?
Just then, his phone rang. When I took it out, I saw that it was my father calling.
On the phone, my father told him about the situation at home. My mother is not in good health now, and recently went to the county hospital for a full body check-up. My sister's tuition is also going to be paid immediately, so let him find a way to make up a little bit at the end of this month.
Hanging up the phone, he sat alone in the garden of the community, silently looking at the night sky. During this time, he worked hard and worked hard to earn money. After doing the math, in addition to some expenses in the past two months, he has saved a total of more than 6,000 yuan. The cost of living outside is too high, and the cost of transportation, rent, telephone, etc., is calculated as at least 1,500 a month. Also, you can't get sick, you can't socialize, you can't sing......
My sister's tuition fee is more than 10,000 yuan, plus this month's salary, it will be almost enough. But after paying my sister's tuition, I didn't have a penny left. He thought about borrowing some money from Su Qing and transitioning for a while. But in the end, I was still embarrassed to open my mouth.
After staying up for a while, it will definitely get better. Liu Xin comforted herself.
Life is often like this, when you are at your most down, you have to add some spices.
I'm going to report to the new company tomorrow. I wonder what will greet him? Perhaps, it is a twist of fate, and it will be a trap one by one.
Still, he is confident about tomorrow. A branch with a bigger fart will not be more smoky than the head office, right? Besides, I'm going to be a small department head.
Zhou Witch sent him here, did she let herself continue to be promoted and achieve the position of manager? It's worth the wait.
In the early morning of the next day, Liu Xin, as usual, followed Mr. Sun to learn Taijiquan. However, after all, it is a cat and a tiger, imitating it, and you can't touch the core essentials at all. Therefore, his boxing skills have not improved much. It's just that his mind is much calmer, and his movements have slowed down a lot.
I'm going to report to the branch today. However, before leaving, there must be a reply from the Zhou Witch. Otherwise, he didn't know the specific location of the branch and the person in charge to report to him.
Early in the morning, he came to the company. Seeing Witch Zhou walk into the office, he also followed.
When Witch Zhou saw that it was Liu Xin, her expression immediately changed. She threw her bag on the desk and said coldly, "Didn't you say it, I don't want to see you, what are you doing?" ”
I don't know why, whenever I see Liu Xin, Zhou Witch can't control her feelings, and she has an urge to kill. No wonder, the family dog, is often abused by her.
Liu Xin looked up at her, shrugged her shoulders, and said with a light smile: "I don't even know the address and person in charge of the branch, and I must have your signature when I go there." ”
