"Is it too much?" Lin Yue said, "I didn't punish all the women in that room today. I have already restrained myself. If such a young child is kept in a dark room, if he suffers from any mental illness, they will all be accomplices."
"Chen Xu, thank you." Gu Jia thanked him again.
"A good person will be bullied by others, and a good horse will be ridiculed by others. I have always believed that rogue methods should be used to deal with rogues. The truth does not make sense."
"Oh." Gu Jia sighed and put the child in his arms: "I'm afraid they will isolate Ziyan in the kindergarten."
"If you just want to teach your children to be sociable, an amusement park is fine, why bother sending them to kindergarten." Lin Yue said: "Teachers can teach children 123ABC, but they cannot teach children to be brave enough to take responsibility, argue for reasons, and speak up. At this point, The best role models are parents.”
"Chen Xu, how old are you? You haven't even gotten married yet. How can you talk about raising children in such a clear-cut manner?" She has come from this experience. Of course she knows that this kind of idea is only considered by people who are married and have children. Generally, they are 25 or 26 years old. How can a young man of 20 years old have the heart to think about this?
"I have more insights, do you want to hear them?"
"Say it, I'm listening."
"As far as I know, you must have been wronged for sending Xu Ziyan to kindergarten."
She recalled her past of bringing cakes to Mrs. Wang, saying nice things, and trying to please her master like a maid: "Huan Shan told you, right?"
Lin Yue smiled, neither admitting nor denying: "Both you and Mr. Xu have good academic qualifications. We have worked hard for many years to achieve the life we have now. Then we want our children to have a good starting point, go to a good school, and then advance all the way to experimental primary school. The key point is What’s the point of going to middle school and prestigious university? To prevent them from falling from the middle class, right? Don’t you think this is making children go through the same old path as their parents again?”
This sentence is a bit hurtful, and Gu Jia is a little unhappy, because Xu Huanshan has never been so positive and tough: "To survive in this society and have a high-quality life, this is the effort that must be made."
"So this is your wish and your goal. Xu Ziyan and Xu Huanshan have no choice."
"I'm doing this for my family."
"It's for the sake of the family." Lin Yue smiled: "Just like in the Western world, because a research institution cannot recruit a sufficient proportion of black scientists, the superiors can only veto the budget and stop related experiments, because there must be equality and no discrimination. . It’s great to liberate individual consciousness in the name of righteousness.”
"I asked Huan Shan for his opinion on this matter."
Lin Yue said: "You are not asking for Xu Huanshan's opinion, you are asking for his compromise."
"you……"
"You love Xu Huanshan, so you want to give him and your children the beauty you think; he loves you, so he carefully maintains family harmony and treats what you want as what he wants. Of course, a better life is the most important thing It is the goal of people in society, but there is no strict quantitative standard for 'better life', and people's definition of 'better' is different. Foreigners want to own a house in Shanghai, while locals want to change to a better house. The urban middle class needs a sense of security and is afraid of falling into poverty overnight. The wife hopes that her capable husband will go home early to spend more time with his wife and children, and not just socialize every day, while the wealthy young lady desperately wants to have a baby, and the mother is more expensive than the child."
"Chen Xu, who taught you these words? Xu Huanshan?"
"Look, do you trust him and understand him? You are always reviewing and evaluating, and you demand your husband according to your own standards. To put it nicely, it means to encourage him to make progress, and to be strict with him. To put it badly, it means to transform him into what you want. It seems like you are facing many difficulties together, but have you ever thought that you kidnapped the other person’s wishes?”
"If you don't want to, then why do you want to get married?"
"So, this is still the married life you want."
"Chen Xu!" Gu Jia felt that he had really crossed the line. This was not what a driver should say.
"We're here, get out of the car." The car stopped at the same time as the voice sounded.
Gu Jia's words that were choked in his throat were neither words nor words. In the end, he could only take a deep breath, push the door open and take the child out of the car.
"Some children, the harder they control them when they are young, the more rebellious they become in adolescence." Lin Yue dropped these words and drove away.
Gu Jia stood at the door, looking at the passing car lights, not knowing what to say.
…
Half an hour later, she was sitting on the sofa on the balcony, sipping a drink while looking at the night view of the Bund.
Xu Huanshan said a few words to the nanny, walked to the balcony and took a look, and found that her hand was broken, so he quickly went to the house to get a band-aid to put it on.
"Why are you still losing money?"
Gu Jia shook his head and did not mention what happened to Xu Ziyan at Muzi's house: "Did Chen Xu tell you?"
"say what?"
"He took care of Mr. Wan's matter."
"Him? Can he handle Mr. Wan? Wife, are you kidding? He can handle someone you can't even handle? I don't believe it!"
Gu Jia took a sip of wine: "He said that after completing the order, he wants 15% of the profit."
Xu Huanshan was stunned. This was completely different from the Chen Xu in his impression, as if he was a different person.
Gu Jia looked at the dim lights in the distance: "I know what you are thinking, I think so too."
She did not tell Xu Huanshan about the conversation they had just had in the carriage.
"Would you like to call Chen Yu and ask if something happened at home?"
"Okay, I'll call Chen Yu soon."
"Honey, it's so late now, it's not appropriate."
"It's okay, I know Xiaoqin, she shouldn't be asleep yet."
"Okay." Xu Huanshan said, "Then about the order rebate."
"If Hengfa really continues to cooperate with our company, 15% of the profits... will be given to him."
"Okay, everything is up to you."
Gu Jia took a deep look at him, raised her head and drank the cocktail from the can, got off the sofa, turned around and entered the living room to call Chen Yu.
…
The next evening.
Lin Yue knocked on Chen Yu's door.
Click~
The door opened, and a face that read "I am an honest man" appeared on the opposite side.
"What time is it before you come?"
The appointment we made on the phone was to meet in the evening, but it was already past 9 o'clock before he came over.
"Something delayed me."
"Just fool around day by day."
Speaking of this younger brother, Chen Yu was worried from the bottom of his heart. He was already 26 and still uncertain. He was idle every day and did not do his job properly. The salary Xu Huanshan paid him was not low, but not only did he have no money left every month, he often came to borrow money. money.
Well, it is said to be a loan, but it is never repaid.
Lin Yue ignored this, walked to the fish tank, took a small handful of fish food and threw it in, watching the colorful tropical fish swarm up and snatch up all the small particles that were slowly falling.
"Why are you interested in them today?"
"I'm old." Lin Yue walked to the three-person sofa and sat down, picked up the apple on the table and took a bite.
"Are you still old?" Chen Yu sat down opposite him: "I'll ask you to come this time..."
"It's Gu Jia who called and asked you to talk to me."
Chen Yu was stunned.
"Why, you haven't figured it out yourself yet, so why don't you just learn from the mentors on love shows to guide you in life?"
"Hey, you brat, no matter what, I am older than you and have more life experience than you."
"Not necessarily." Lin Yue curled his lips: "Have you thought about the child?"
"Don't pull me off." Chen Yu said, "What's the 15% rebate?"
"What's going on? Didn't she say that I helped the company negotiate a big deal?"
"You? Can we negotiate a deal? How?"
"Then don't worry about it."
"Okay, even if you become more capable, you shouldn't ask for kickbacks from Gu Jia and Xu Huanshan."
"Who, who is asking for kickbacks from Gu Jia and Xu Huanshan?" It was not Chen Yu who spoke. The voice came from the corridor. It was Zhong Xiaoqin who was back.
