Chapter 40 [God's Chosen One]
"Do you have many questions now?"
This sentence was said by Zhu Shican. He sat opposite me, and we sat in a fishing hall next to Xuanwu Lake, pretending to catch fish.
When Zhu Shican spoke, his hands were accompanied by movements, raising his pole, staring at him, smiling, and grabbing a fat fish with his left hand.
I didn't come back to my senses at once, and then suddenly understood what Zhu Shican meant, "Why, the eldest young master is going to tease me?"
Zhu Shican grabbed the fish, took the hook off the fish's mouth, then turned his head to look at me, and threw the fish into the bucket beside me. The tail of the fish flicked, splashing a little water, and raised half of my body. I only saw Zhu Shican blunt his mouth towards my bucket and his bucket again, and then I realized that he was talking about the problem that had always bothered me, that is, why did my luck have always been so good after I started business...
"Haha, you are really well-informed. I called Fang Dafu just an hour ago, and you will know." I looked at Zhu Shican with a smile, and I didn't even bother to wipe the water splashed on my face.
Of course, Zhu Shican could hear the dissatisfaction in my words, but he did not show any dissatisfaction. In fact, not long ago, I would never dare to talk to him like this, but since he said he was a friend, I really didn't have to treat him like a eldest son. Sometimes, there were fewer people in his position, and since that was the case, I might as well be more intimate with him.
"You used to be a writer, well, I can say that, at least I work in the Writers Association. But now I am a businessman... A writer needs enough curiosity to drive him to learn more secrets and content. A businessman only needs to care whether his cost and return is a positive value, and pursue the infinite possibilities of this positive value. Curiosity sometimes needs to be thrown aside. Speaking of which, what Lao Fang is most worried about is that you are not mature enough. Of course, you have already seemed mature enough among your employees and subordinates and even many business partners, but in the eyes of an old fox like Fang Dafu, who has seen countless people, you are still very immature. Do you know? What would I do if I change my position in your position?"
Zhu Shican obviously didn't come to fish today, although he seemed very keen to catch artificially raised fish in such indoor occasions. His purpose was already obvious, and he wanted to get rid of my constant doubts.
Since I already knew his purpose, I simply gave up all the concealment. I threw the fishing rod in my hand to my side and looked at the small bucket containing a fish with concentration.
"But, just as you throw this fish over, your actions fall into my eyes, how can I give up thinking about your motivation? How do I know whether this is good or harmful to me?"
Zhu Shican shook his head and smiled, obviously because I was angry. Finally, he said seriously, "Shi Lei, please answer my question first. If it were me in your position, do you think I would choose how to face these seemingly easy-to-get things?"
I shook my head and looked blank. "Frankly speaking, I don't know! I can't predict how a person who is not my thinking logic."
Zhu Shican finally put down the fishing rod in his hand, "Okay, since you persist, I will tell you. If I were you, after the first proper reward that I received almost entirely from my own efforts, and then many unexpected conveniences came, I would give up analyzing the other party's behavioral motivation and just see if this behavior is beneficial to me. Even if the other party's purpose is to let me climb up a higher floor and then fall me down hard, I will use the ladder he gave me to climb up first. If not, I will always
I don't know if there is any other way above to prevent me from any possibility that the other party brings to me... In other words, I would rather be short-sighted and pursue immediate interests. When the danger comes, it is really the day when the danger comes. It's just to kill me back to my original form. Moreover, as far as I know, the reason why Fang Dafu opened the door of convenience for you is completely for his own interests and has nothing to do with conspiracy. Don't always imagine cheese as being placed on a mouse clip..."
I thought about it and insisted on asking, "Okay, when I have a deep relationship with you, I am willing to choose to believe everything you said to me. Fang Dafu helped me in order to help him, and I gave up thinking about Fang Dafu's behavior. So what about you? It seems that you have not reached the point where you will take the initiative to contact Director Qin and say the words on the dinner table. I was shocked after hearing what you said, and only then did I understand when I saw the cigarette you threw over. Those words should not be written under the dinner table? You wrote them before entering the hotel. Why did you spare so much effort to help me?"
Zhu Shican smiled, "If I want to harm you, do I need to go around you? Shi Lei, you are really a skeptical!"
"Okay, let's answer my question..." I insisted stubbornly.
"If I said I felt that you had an innate temperament that touched me, would you believe it?"
"What do you think?"
Zhu Shican picked up the fishing rod on the ground again, ignored me again, threw the hook into the water, and focused on fishing.
I was still sitting sideways, staring at Zhu Shican intently, but he seemed to be unaware of it and was not moved by my eyes at all.
After a long time, I admitted my failure in my heart. Zhu Shican's mentality was much more tenacious than I thought, and even more tenacious than my persistence.
Finally, I waited for Zhu Shican's body to move, and I guess he needed to adjust when sitting in the same position for a long time. When I turned around, his eyes happened to meet my eyes.
"Oh..." Zhu Shican sighed, shook his head, put away the fishing rod in his hand, looked at the hook, the bait had fallen off. He changed the bait, "Shi Lei, have you seen it? We are fishing, do you think the fish in the water know that we are fishing them?"
I don't understand what Zhu Shican said, but I still replied, "It should be known... After all, you can see different fishing rods penetrate into the water every day, and you can see your companions leave the water every day..."
Zhu Shican nodded and threw the fishing rod into the water again. "Maybe, as you said, they do know that these delicious baits were deliberately thrown in, but will they know what their destiny will be like after leaving the water?"
I shook my head, "I probably don't know!"
"That's it. The fish don't know what bait means to them. They just know that they may leave the waters on which they depend for survival because of these baits, but they still swallow it without hesitation."
"What the hell do you want to say? Don't make yourself look like a monk, speak the Buddha's words, be happy, and have something real!" I pretended to be unhappy, and looked fake angry.
Zhu Shican smiled, his eyes swam up and down on me, and then said for a while, "Anyway, you believe that Fang Dafu and I have no malice towards you, and there may even be people who help you for no reason in the future, and there will be no malice. This is enough. Or if you change your mind, you are the person chosen by God, and everyone must help you!"
After seeing Zhu Shican say this, he swung his rod and another fat crucian carp was grabbed by him. Under his skillful operation, the crucian carp was put into his bucket. Then he stood up and walked towards the weighing platform with the bucket and fishing rod. I knew that no matter what I asked, he would not speak, unless it was something that had nothing to do with it.
But obviously, what Zhu Shican said to me today was all intentional. Or just a little bit. The reason why he asked me to fish today was because he wanted to tell me this. However, I am still in the clouds and ignorant. What does he mean? I am a person chosen by God? There may be people who help me for no reason in the future? Should I really accept these helps that I don’t know.
I finally realized that not only did I not solve my doubts under Zhu Shican's intentional task, but the more problems I had.
However, according to Zhu Shican, the answer has been given to me, but I just don’t know.
This is a bit like when I was a child, I got a political exam question and couldn't figure it out. Finally, I asked the teacher where the answer was. The teacher's answer was that in the book, we must integrate it.
What you said is right, it is outrageous, but you always want to beat him up, just like not saying it.
After weighing the fish, Zhu Shican happily carried a black plastic bag, "Let's go to my house to cook fish. Let me tell you, I'm very good at cooking!"
I raised my face and looked at him, "Is that so? I'm not bad either!"
"Call me and call that boy Hu Zhi, let's have some wine. I'll serve you today!"
"You thirteenth young man personally serves you, so you are very frightened!" I pretended to be trembling.
Zhu Shican raised the plastic bag in his hand and acted to beat him, "Do you still want to make a fuss? Be careful that I will destroy the company directly!"
I laughed, walked over him, shook my arms and walked forward, "Then you hurry up, dig the pit and bury it. If it's too late, I'll destroy the company myself..."
Zhu Shican was speechless for a moment and quickly followed.
His family lives on Yihe Road, which belongs to one of the protected buildings in the Republic of China in Nanjing. The houses on Yihe Road are all mansions left over from the Republic of China period. They are basically composed of two to three-story villas and mansions. There has always been a saying that "one Yihe Road and half of the history of the Republic of China". Most of the people living here are high-ranking officials and nobles, and they can't live in just as much as they have money. They must have a considerable relationship with the military and political circles, and their sons can only live here with their father's mercy.
"I'm envious when I look at your yard!" I sighed sincerely.
Zhu Shican smiled, "Anyway, I live alone here now, and my family is in the capital. Otherwise, you can move here and live with me, and you will have multiple companions."
This is a kind word. How could I really agree to him? I just shook my head, "Forget it, I originally wanted to be low-key and live here, don't treat anyone as a princeling!"
