After Zhou Yiming reprimanded the gang of boys, he found that they were silent and all lowered their heads in shame, which made his original angry mood even more furious.
He walked forward, raised all their heads with his hands, and then asked them to look into his eyes: "You all raise your heads. I am talking to you. You lower your heads like this and say nothing." , what does it look like?
Look at the beggars on the street, they are all more energetic than you. "
Zhou Yiming's words were very harsh, but after listening to these young guys, they remained silent, as if they had become numb to the embarrassing behavior, and had even lost their sense of shame.
Zhou Yiming became more and more angry as he watched, and finally couldn't help but blurt out: "I know that your life is hard and your life is difficult, so you are afraid of any small difficulties.
This is human nature. I don’t blame you, but I want to tell you something. As a man, no matter where you are or what kind of job you are doing, you must maintain a man’s ambition. If you put this If your heart is lost, no matter how capable and capable you are, you can only be a slave under others if you work hard all your life. "
After hearing these words, the gang of boys were greatly shocked. Many of them began to think carefully about the meaning of the words, and the more they thought about it, the more they felt it made sense.
They began to think back on the first half of their lives, and found that all the experiences in the first half of their lives added up to only two words, and that was failure. Although these failures were caused by various reasons, the main reason was their timidity and The escape mentality derived from this timidity, under the influence of this psychology, no matter what they do, they always look forward and backward, fearing the wolf before and the tiger behind, without any courage to forge ahead. Under the shackles of this inner demon , even if there is a good opportunity in front of them, it is difficult for them to seize it. In the end, they are busy for half their life, just making wedding clothes for others.
After recalling their previous experiences, most of the boys shed tears with emotion. Some felt regret for the good opportunity they had given up, while some felt regret for the good opportunity they had given up. Happiness and heartache.
Seeing these people crying, Zhou Yiming finally felt some comfort in his heart, because he understood that if a person is already insensitive, no matter how hard he gives a heads-up, such a person will not shed tears. These young people in front of him can Being able to cry at least proves that their hearts are not dead yet.
He walked over, patted the person on the shoulder, and touched the back of the person's head, comforting them in this way.
Shopkeeper Lu saw all this and was shocked in his heart. He thought to himself that this young man's ability to inspire people is too strong. Fortunately, he is a rich and distinguished man. Otherwise, if I really took him in If his subordinates do things, it won't be long before all of his subordinates will submit to him. By then, it will only be a matter of time before he becomes a loner and is eaten by him.
Thinking of this, he felt scared. At the same time, he also felt that his original idea of taking Zhou Yiming into his own hands was too ridiculous. With his leadership ability, he simply could not control such a person.
After Zhou Yiming had comforted the little guys, he wanted to encourage them some more and then tell them the method he had come up with to move the stewards, but before he could speak, an unexpected scene happened. .
I saw a young man suddenly walking out among the boys. He had sharp eyebrows and starry eyes, was quite handsome, and was about seventeen or eighteen years old.
Although this young man is not very old, he is quite famous among these young guys. The reason is nothing more than that he is courageous and has some loyalty to others. Occasionally, other people encounter some small problems, as long as they are within the scope of his ability. He will help anyone who is in trouble and will never ask for benefits afterwards.
"My benefactor, you have been kind to all of us. Logically speaking, we should listen to whatever you say. We must not repay kindness with enmity or find fault in what you say." After the righteous young man walked out of the crowd, his emotions Said quite excitedly.
Zhou Yiming looked him up and down and felt that this young man was very handsome and what he said was very convincing, so he admired him in his heart.
"Young man, what you said is wrong. I just helped you with a little effort, not for fame or profit. So in front of me, you must not say anything about great kindness. I really can't afford it." Zhou Ming In order to let the righteous young man in front of me speak his true feelings as soon as possible, I hurriedly explained, trying to lighten the burden on his heart so that he could speak freely, "And what you just said, no matter what I say, you can't refute it. , this is even more nonsense!
As the saying goes, the more you explain the truth, the clearer it becomes. If only one person had the final say in this world, how confused would it become? "
The moment the righteous young man stood up, his companions were frightened, because everyone knew his character and were afraid that in this situation, he would contradict Zhou Ming and cause a big disaster to everyone.
Just when everyone was about to rush over and pull the righteous young man back, they suddenly heard Zhou Ming say such wise words, and everyone's hearts suddenly dropped to the ground.
The people who originally wanted to stop Zhongyi young man not only gave up the idea of stopping him, but began to encourage him: "Da Shan, since my benefactor has said so, you can't be polite. Whatever you have in mind, just say it." Well, my benefactor is a sensible person and will never blame you!"
The righteous young man named Dashan looked back at the faces of his companions, and couldn't help but feel angry secretly, thinking that you bunch of boneless things are really just grass on the wall, falling in the wind.
Before I stood up just now, you didn't give a damn. When I took the bull by the horns and stood up to reason with my benefactor, you didn't come out to help me. Instead, you planned to hold me back and drag me back.
Now that you see that your benefactor is a tolerant person, you immediately change your stance and stand with me again, and you shamelessly encourage me to go out and speak. Don’t you have no shame at all?
Although he was full of dissatisfaction with his companions, Dashan did not break up with his companions, because reason told him that doing so would be tantamount to ruining his own job, because even if he had the ability, if everyone was If everyone is offended, it will be difficult to gain a foothold here in the future.
When the boys saw Dashan looking at them reproachfully, they all blushed and lowered their heads. Although Dashan did not curse them, they all knew Dashan and knew that he must be cursing them in his heart at this moment.
After Shopkeeper Lu saw Dashan, he began to murmur in his heart, thinking that I thought the people under me were all villains who were greedy for life and afraid of death. I never expected that there were such heroic figures among the young men. It seems that I You must pay more attention to him in the future, maybe this kid is a talent that can be made.
After scanning his companions with disdainful eyes, Dashan turned around and bowed respectfully to Zhou Ming.
Zhou Yiming returned the gift, and then said: "Little brother, there is no need to be polite between you and me. If you have any dissatisfaction with me in your heart, feel free to say it, right or wrong, I will not blame you. "
Dashan knew that Yi Ming was a good man, but he really didn't expect that he would be so open-minded.
Before Dashan spoke, he looked back at his brothers. Seeing them all staring at him blankly, he finally felt a little confident.
"My dear friend, in fact, what I want to tell you is not a big deal. There are just some things that would make me feel uncomfortable if I didn't say them out loud." After Dashan turned around, he looked into Yi Ming's eyes and said with emotion, "You have been telling us so earnestly just now that we must never lose a man's ambition.
I know you are saying these things for our own good, and they are all from the bottom of your heart, but I also have something in my heart that I want to tell you.
My benefactor, I am not afraid of your laughter. In fact, we children who come from poor families also have great ambitions before we leave our homes and make a living. It is definitely not our original intention to serve others. "
After hearing these words, Zhou Yiming was deeply touched, because he could feel that Dashan's heart was rising and falling violently when he spoke, which proved that the words he said had been hidden in his heart for a long time.
After listening to Dashan's story, the other boys all had red eyes, and some of them even started to wipe away tears, because Dashan's words reminded them of sad past events.
It is said that back then, when they just walked out of their homes and went out to make a living, who was not very ambitious and full of confidence in their future?
But these confidences and pretentiousness have long since disappeared after being polished by the cruelty of reality. They count the hardships they suffered in the past, and even think that it is a great miracle that they have the courage to survive until now. .
Shopkeeper Lu was born into a wealthy family, and he opened this bank at a very young age, so basically he had never suffered much, so he naturally had no empathy for the experiences of those young men, so when he saw When those little guys wiped away their tears, they felt a little hard to understand for a moment. They felt that they were making a fuss out of a molehill by crying like this.
Although Zhou Yiming was born into a scholarly family and an official family in this life, in his previous life, he was just an ordinary laborer, so he could understand the mood of these young guys very well.
After Dashan said what he said, Zhou Yiming did not respond immediately because he wanted to give them enough time to use the time to deal with their emotions.
After one-fifth of the time for burning incense had passed, Zhou Yiming felt that the time was almost up, so he immediately encouraged Dashan and continued: "Little brother, if you still have something to say, please continue. I will definitely listen. Never interrupt.”
