At 7:15, Ronan hurriedly took a few bites of rice, took the pie and milk glass that his aunt had forced him to get into, and got into his uncle's SUV. He exerted his extraordinary power as a big eater. Before the car left the community, he ate the second half of breakfast and drank it. Then he opened the car window and accurately threw the empty paper cup into the trash can on the roadside. He moved the level of the target and exploded. Drop most people ten blocks away.
Uncle Mo Haihang glanced over and closed the car window: "You're not blind, are you?"
"How could it be? My martial arts training is not in vain." Ronan still clearly remembered the scene when the two elders were meditating hard on the bedside in the early morning. He felt ashamed and subconsciously made a joke, "Look at my skills and accuracy. Uncle, one day I will take the lead." I went to play with guns, and after a few years, I forgot which way the shooting center door opened."
"Okay, it's rare for you to ask." Mo Haihang agreed readily, and then asked seemingly casually: "How are you at school recently? I mean, do you have a wider social circle?"
Ronan always felt that his uncle's words had profound meaning, so he just said "um" and "um", but he was worried that his words were vague and difficult to win people's trust. He happened to have something at hand, so he changed his words and said it again, also asking for advice:
"Uncle, how can I cooperate with others? I recently had a club activity and formed a temporary team to work together. I don't know what to do best."
Mo Haihang replied while driving: "Since it is a team, you must understand your role in the team. Leaders or planners, technicians or logistics, each can take its place."
This answer was too easy, and Ronan was not satisfied: "This is from a team perspective..."
"That's right. Since it's cooperation, of course it has to be a team."
Ronan rolled his eyes: "I want to start from a personal perspective and want to know how to be respected in the team..."
Mo Haihang looked at the road but not the people, and replied with a smile: "The concept of respect is too broad, and there is no universal standard. Everyone's role is different, and his expression of respect will be different. A guy who thinks he is a leader, he Respect for subordinates may mean praise; but if the recipient of his praise does not consider himself a subordinate, will he feel respected?"
"……Too."
"So, if the environment is not formed, don't talk about the relationships in the environment. It may alienate at any time: for example, respect can be a reward or a price. Let your temporary combination become a qualified team first."
Talking to an intellectual like his uncle took too much brain cells, so Ronan shrank first. He half-closed his eyes and looked again at Peony's evaluation in the internal report:
"Crow's professional level is unknown. His personality is initially judged to be 'introverted'. He is not good at sociability and lacks initiative. It may be more appropriate to position him as 'auxiliary'. There may be some room for negotiation in subsequent cooperation."
This is his partner, and even before the formal action has begun, she is trying to seize power. What's more, she has to bargain!
Ronan admired Mudan's vision and judgment, but this attitude inevitably made him feel uncomfortable, and it also made him doubt Mudan's "pattern"
You must know that this business outsourcing is actually the compensation given to him by His Majesty Emperor Wu, and it will not be discounted in any case. Mudan said this, but it proves that her status in the firm is relatively average and she has not felt the pulse of her boss...
Well, wait a minute, this doesn’t look like Peony!
Ronan kept searching for words and suddenly realized. The so-called "bargaining" may not mean cutting off the money for "outsourcing business", but focusing on subsequent recruitment.
If so, it would be wiser. At least she could understand part of His Majesty's intentions. Ronan finally got the answer after asking He Yueyin.
Being in a team with such people and trying to gain the upper hand made Ronan feel so tired.
At this time, Mo Haihang took the initiative to talk to him: "I probably know what you are thinking, which is that you need to have a goal or paradigm for doing things. If you really don't know how to do it, just learn from me. I think we are quite similar. See if you like it.
Ronan burst into tears immediately: What I want is your words!
"I have a motto, take a look." Mo Haihang sent him a very brief message, only eight words.
Those who stand up cannot stand, those who cross cannot stand.
Ronan was stunned. He finally read scriptures when he was a child, and recently studied classical martial arts with the master of the monastery. He gained some relevant knowledge and recognized these words from the "Tao Te Ching".
These two sentences mean that if you stand on tiptoes in order to see far, you will not be able to stand steadily; if you stride quickly in order to speed up, you will not be able to go very far.
After these two sentences, there is a long list of "Those who see themselves are unclear, those who are self-righteous will not manifest themselves, those who cut down on themselves will have no success, and those who are proud of themselves will not grow..." and so on, which probably means: frivolous and impetuous progress, Self-proclaimed behavior should not be relied on. The deeper meaning is to retreat in order to advance, and do things without doing anything.
Well, this is indeed a style of behavior, which matches my uncle's usually low-key words and deeds. But...but the current situation is not like this!
Mo Haihang didn't know that Ronan was confused, so he asked him, "Do you understand?"
"I understand. Well, uncle, is there anything else?"
"Yes, for example, 'good deeds have no traces, good words have no flaws'..."
"I know."
"Then knowing the male and guarding the female is the stream of the world..."
"Knowing its whiteness and guarding its blackness is the way of the world. It is the way of the world. It is always virtuous and returns to Wuji... A simple and loose form is used as a tool. When a saint uses it, he becomes an official. Therefore, the great system cannot be cut off."
Ronan was afraid and simply memorized the entire paragraph in one breath. There are not even a hundred but eighty similar sentences in the "Tao Te Ching", but this is really not what he needs!
Mo Haihang laughed loudly: "Look, you clearly know what you want to do, why do you still ask me?"
"..."
Ronan knew that he had been tricked, and was speechless for a moment. In fact, he is not interested in any method, nor does he have to outdo others. If he is given a choice, he will stay quietly in a corner, refine the external neurons, and experience the process carefully to see what will happen in the end. What results are obtained.
However, in order to obtain this peace, he had to do something.
This entanglement is really not understandable to outsiders.
Mo Haihang circled his temples with his fingers: "Let me guess what you are thinking. You want to do something, but you don't know if it can be done, so you want to find a successful paradigm, like a formula. , throw various parameters into it, and then live together?"
Ronan huffed: "...just for reference."
Mo Haihang nodded, shook his head and sighed: "Nannan, how old are you this year?"
"sixteen."
"What a great age. When I was 16 years old, I got pregnant with a classmate and was kicked down the stairs by my father. My mouth was broken..."
Damn it, this is gossip!
Ronan's chin hit his chest and he didn't close it for a long time.
Mo Haihang stared forward, smiling with He Xi, as if he was recalling his youth that would never return, but the final destination was Ronan: "It seems that I haven't beaten you since you were ten years old, right?"
"Uh, it seems so."
"Teenage children, their secondary growth, adolescence, and rebellious period, what a wonderful period, have they just passed by like this?"
Uncle, are you disappointed that you didn't get the chance to beat me?
Just as he was complaining secretly, new words poured into Ronan's ears: "Do you think I should praise you for your youth and maturity, or should I worry about your physical and mental growth problems?"
Ronan raised his head in surprise, and met Mo Haihang's cold eyes, and realized the serious attitude inside.
"Human beings have never been perfect creatures. The evolutionary history of this species is a history of trial and error, coupled with good luck at most. Therefore, society is very cruel, but it always leaves some room for trial and error. This is especially true for young people. Your grandpa’s ‘Social Format Chart’ lists students in a separate column, and there is a group of people who ‘pay tuition’.”
His uncle's words were serious like a scholar; Ronan was a little panicked and didn't know what attitude to use in response. In the end, he could only say "uh huh".
Mo Haihang seemed to be asking: "So, Nannan, tell me, why are you so stingy with 'tuition fees'? Are you prepared to exploit all the flaws and then go to a more cruel stage and lose everything at once?"
Ronan didn't even have the energy to say "Yeah". He felt that his uncle today was completely different from usual. Maybe what happened last night gave my uncle some more ideas, and now he is testing his attitude?
Ronan wanted to say that it was a misunderstanding and there was no inexplicable organization looking for him. But if you think about it a little more, it seems that the nature of the situation he is facing is similar. Isn't this the problem caused by His Majesty the Emperor Wu's group of people?
My mind went around for a few times, and I finally came up with the words: "You mean, let me cross the river by feeling for the stones, and throw them a few times, right? Are you Uncle Wolf, Aunt Eagle, okay? Come on, I know uncle, you don't like student activities. .”
Ronan tried his best to stir up the atmosphere and muttered: "Know the male and guard the female, know the white and guard the black, know the honor and guard the disgrace. It's a blessing to suffer a disadvantage. Can't I do it if I know how to carry it?"
Mo Haihang looked at him quietly, and finally washed away all the serious and cold connotations, returned to Hexi, and said with a smile: "I hope. By the way, what I just told you, you have to keep your mouth shut. Don't you Do you really want me to beat you?"
Ronan blinked: "If you don't say yes, you must dare to pay the 'tuition'... Oops!"
There was wind in his ears, and Mo Haihang really slapped his ears. Of course, he didn't use any force. Even if he tried hard, he couldn't hit Ronan who was blessed by the eyes, apertures, and heart lanterns.
The car became lively, and the autonomous driving system played its due role.
While laughing, Ronan knew that some things had really changed, and he had to get used to this change.
The car here has not yet arrived at Zhixing College. Far away in a park in Hewu District, a huge crow fluttered its wings and flew low along the green belt of the city's riverside. The "rubber band" tied to the shin vibrates slightly, transmitting instant information.
About ten minutes later, when Ronan entered the campus in Pingjiang District, 40 kilometers away, Mo Mo also found his target and plunged into a civilian SUV on the roadside.
