A month passed quickly, and although Lu Shanmin gnawed on books day and night, he still did not complete the task assigned by Tao Ranzhi in the end.

Of the more than 400 books, Lu Shanmin can read 200 books, and these 200 books can only be regarded as barely reading once, which is still far from truly integrating and drawing inferences from one another.

When the deadline had come, Lu Shanmin shaved his beard, cut his hair style, changed into neat clothes, and walked into Tao Ranzhi's office at Tianjing University of Finance.

Tao Ranzhi pushed the reading glasses on the bridge of his nose, just raised his eyelids and glanced at him with his peripheral vision, pointed to the chair next to him and motioned for him to sit down, and then continued to read the newspaper.

Lu Shanmin sat on a chair and waited quietly, Tao Ranzhi's office was similar to Ma Guodong's, except for an old-fashioned desk with paint peeling and two chairs that were a little shaky, and there were only two large old-fashioned bookcases, such simple decorations did not suit their status, but they were in line with the image of their generation of intellectuals.

Tao Ranzhi's way of reading the newspaper is a bit special, taking notes while reading, and from time to time he uses small scissors to cut out a piece and put it into different clips.

After more than an hour, Tao Ranzhi rearranged the newspaper and sat down in front of Lu Shanmin.

"A good memory is not as good as a bad pen, and the process of collecting and sorting is also a process of deepening memory and understanding."

Lu Shanmin thinks so, but at the same time, he also feels that this method is a bit primitive, "Now that information is so developed, it is actually more convenient to watch it on computers and mobile phones."

Tao Ranzhi said lightly: "Most of the people who watch consultations on computers and mobile phones are for recreation, and it is easy to get into the brain and difficult to get into the heart.

As he spoke, he continued: "The master leads the door to practice in individuals, and the graduate and doctoral students I take rarely teach them specific knowledge, but more teach them study methods and research methods, and learning often sees the truth in the subtleties."

Lu Shanmin nodded solemnly, "I remember."

"How many books have you read?" Tao Ranzhi raised his eyelids and looked at Lu Shanmin.

"Half".

"How much do you understand"?

Lu Shanmin said with a little embarrassment: "Generally, less than half."

Tao Ranzhi smiled slightly: "That's good, it's much better than I expected, Lao Ma is right, you are not only talented, but also able to endure hardships." It is not easier to do learning than the old farmers in the fields, and there is a leisure interval between the cultivation of crops in the four seasons, and to concentrate on learning, 365 days a year, not a single day can be left behind."

As he spoke, he asked, "Do you know why I gave you this impossible task"?

Lu Shanmin said lightly: "You are testing my heart."

Tao Ranzhi nodded approvingly, "When ordinary people encounter this impossible task, they are either overwhelmed by the pressure, or they are trying to find a way to ask me to postpone, and even more so, they will hold a grudge against me and find me a theory, and some people will give up directly." There are not many young people like you who can calm down and do it quietly."

Lu Shanmin smiled, "This may be my personality, whether it can be done or not, let's do it step by step first."

Tao Ranzhi looked at Lu Shanmin lightly, "Did Lao Ma tell you that your personality is actually very suitable for learning." ”

Lu Shanmin shook his head, "Professor Ma said that as long as you don't embarrass him, it's fine."

Tao Ranzhi had a look of pity on his face, and said leisurely: "It's a pity, you are not destined to embark on the road of learning."

Lu Shanmin was noncommittal, "Senior Brother He can endure loneliness and sink his heart."

Speaking of He Zhang, Tao Ranzhi showed a proud smile, "That's right, he is my most hopeful disciple and can inherit my mantle."

Saying that, he looked straight at Lu Shanmin, "What He Zhang told you before, have you thought about it carefully?"

Lu Shanmin nodded, and after a long time, he said apologetically: "I'm sorry to disappoint you."

Tao Ranzhi was not too disappointed, and said lightly: "It's okay, I should have thought that you are a businessman after all."

Lu Shanmin said lightly: "Boss, if I tell you that being a successful businessman is not my pursuit in life, do you believe it or not?"

Tao Ranzhi's brows furrowed slightly, and he looked at Lu Shanmin suspiciously.

"And what is your pursuit in life"?

Lu Shanmin shook his head, "Actually, I don't know, I just want my relatives and friends around me to live an ordinary and stable life."

Tao Ranzhi stared at Lu Shanmin's eyes, carefully savoring what Lu Shanmin said, his eyes were sincere and clean, his words were concise and full of sincerity, which made him a little unable to understand Lu Shanmin for a while.

"You're a little different from most businessmen."

Lu Shanmin nodded, "But I'm the same as most ordinary people."

Tao Ranzhi smiled, and suddenly felt that the young man in front of him was a little interesting, but he didn't get entangled in what kind of person Lu Shanmin was. Ma Guodong's stubborn donkey, who never asks for people, only begged him for one thing when he was old, since he promised him, no matter what Lu Shanmin's purpose is, he will teach this student well as a teacher.

"Lao Ma taught you well, your foundation is very solid, plus you have worked the front line of the mall for many years, and you also have rich practical experience, next you can choose a topic direction for research, what direction do you want to choose."

"Investment bottom-up, M&A financing". Lu Shanmin said without thinking.

Tao Ranzhi's brows furrowed slightly, "Who do you want to copy?"

Lu Shanmin smiled, "The boss only needs to teach me knowledge, and I would like to ask Senior Brother He to assist me in researching this topic."

Tao Ranzhi could probably guess what Lu Shanmin wanted to do, but Lu Shanmin didn't want to say, he didn't actually want to know, as a scholar, he, like Ma Guodong, was very resistant to directly participating in business from the bottom of his bones.

"Shopping mall war and doing learning are two different things, He Zhang is a typical scholar, I'm afraid I can't help you."

Lu Shanmin said lightly: "Boss, you misunderstood, I just want Senior Brother He to help me study some technical topics, as for the layout, conspiracy, and charge, of course I and others will go into battle."

Tao Ranzhi looked at Lu Shanmin in a daze, "To be honest, have you investigated one of my students a long time ago and deliberately came to dig into the corner"?

Lu Shanmin smiled awkwardly, "I have heard of your famous name when I studied with Professor Ma in the East China Sea before, and I have read your writings, and I have long wanted to worship you as a teacher, Professor Ma knew that I had arrived in Tianjing, and he said that he would hand me over to you, and he was relieved."

Tao Ranzhi sighed, "He didn't help me a lot when I was in college before, and a few years ago, I wanted to help him transfer to a well-known university in Tianjing, but he didn't want to live or die. He has begged me for this one thing all his life, how can I refuse".

said to Lu Shanmin in a serious tone: "Lao Ma is to make an exception, remember, don't let him down."

Lu Shanmin nodded heavily, "Boss, I will try not to disappoint you."

After a month or two of integration, Nalan Zijian's Xingyao Group stood up steadily, and under the restraint and tacit understanding of both parties, the Nalan family completed the division at the minimum cost. I have to admit that a family with a background like the Nalan family has a strong sense of the overall situation in the face of major rights and wrongs.

Nalan Zijian looked at the documents on the desk, and A-Ying stood behind him and massaged his shoulders lightly.

"Young master, take a rest, you haven't had a good night's sleep in these two months."

Nalan Zijian rubbed his bloodshot eyes due to staying up late for a long time, "A-Ying, the young master is now the chairman, it's different from before."

A shallow smile appeared on Ah Ying's cold face, "Young Master, you look very handsome when you do things seriously."

Nalan Zijian flipped through the stack of materials in his hand, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

The first page of the information is a photo of a girl, who looks about ten years old, with exquisite and impeccable facial features, eyes as crystal clear as jewels, slightly dark skin, a sweet smile, and two small dimples at the corners of her mouth.

"Ah Ying, can you imagine a little girl who looks harmless to humans and animals and has killed the existence of the peak of the Yi Marrow Realm."

Ah Ying followed Nalan Zijian's gaze, "She is a natural killer, and her most powerful killer is to look harmless to humans and animals."

After a pause, "But it is really unbelievable that such a person with blood on his hands can still have such a clean smile on his face, and there is no murderous aura on his body."

"Little Nizi", Nalan Zijian said to himself with a smile, "What a nice name."

A-Ying frowned, "Young Master, you won't like such a girl, right?"

Nalan Zijian looked at Xiao Nizi's photo with affection, "Who can not like such a girl."

"Young master, she is a more dangerous character than Huang Jiujin." A-Ying regained her cold complexion, and even her tone of voice became cold.

Nalan Zijian carefully put away this information, "Soon, I'll be able to see her soon."

A-Ying said coldly: "She is in the East China Sea."

Nalan Zijian smiled, "Hai Dongqing returned to the East China Sea, Huang Jiujin stared at the three shadows, and Lu Shanmin swaggered through the city in Tianjing alone, she should come."

Speaking and asking, "What's the news near the airport and train station"?

"No message". A-Ying said a little angrily.

"What about the East China Sea"?

"No message".

Nalan Zijian sighed, "Oh, too, how can such an elf in the dark be easily seen, maybe she has already arrived through other means, and now she is somewhere in Tianjing."

Ah Ying felt a little sour in her heart, the young master has been paying attention to Liu Ni recently, and even ignoring her angry emotions, she was unhappy, and she increased the strength in her hands. pinched Nalan Zijian and sighed.

"A-Ying, how many times have I told you, girls should be gentle."

Ah Ying felt aggrieved in her heart, "Young Master, you have changed."
