Zhang Li's angry voice interrupted Zuoqiu's unbridled laughter, and the room fell silent.

Zuoqiu picked up the empty picture frame on the table and muttered to himself.

"Once, there was a picture in this frame, a beautiful picture."

"Is she pretty"?

Zuoqiu nodded with a smile, "It's beautiful, no worse than your rich daughter."

As he spoke, he threw the photo frame into the trash, and said with a wry smile: "Don't talk about her."

Lu Shanmin didn't ask, for Zuoqiu, it must be a painful memory of Duan Meis.

Zuoqiu turned on the computer and clicked on a news, "You come and see."

Lu Shanmin approached the screen, and there was a line of headlines on the screen: "The chief of the second supervision section of the Parkway District Safety Supervision Bureau was expelled from the party and expelled from public office for suspected bribery."

Lu Shanmin didn't have any sympathy for Huang Liang's fate, but he didn't quite understand what Zuoqiu's intention was to show him the news.

Zuoqiu asked, "Do you know how I felt when I first drove this news?"

Lu Shanmin shook his head.

Zuoqiu said with a smile: "I am so happy that I applaud the case."

Lu Shanmin frowned and said, "Don't you blame me for reporting Huang Liang?"

Zuo Qiu smiled, "Shanmin, I want to tell you that I don't read books to distinguish between right and wrong, I hate such people in my heart, and I'm very happy that Huang Liang can subdue the law."

Lu Shanmin said embarrassedly: "I said that night that you were cowardly and spineless, but it was just angry words, don't take it seriously."

Zuoqiu smiled, "You are not completely wrong, you are not the only one who says that I am cowardly, but I have always been unwilling to admit it."

"But I have never lost the integrity of a scholar, and I will not admit this now or in the future."

Zuoqiu continued: "There is more than one rat poop like Huang Liang, but a group, you are only meeting a Huang Liang now, and you are only the head of the security guard of a few bars, so you don't have a deep understanding, if you go to a certain level in the future, you will inevitably encounter such a group of Huang Liang." ”

Zuo Qiu stared at Lu Shanmin's eyes and said: "I'm not asking you to succumb to these Huang Liang, since ancient times, sword rangers have only relied on a momentary speed, and they seem to be heroes, but in fact, they won't end very well."

Zuoqiu asked: "Which one do you choose compared to eliminating one Huang Liang or eliminating ten Huang Liang?"

"Of course, I chose to eliminate ten Huang Liang."

Zuoqiu nodded, "It is enough to eliminate one Huang Liang with one will, but to eliminate ten hundred Huang Liang, it is not enough to have a momentary will." ”

"I was angry that day not because you reported Huang Liang, but because you were too presumptuous, if you want to destroy the enemy, you must save yourself first, only if you survive first, you will have more opportunities to destroy more enemies."

Zuoqiu asked, "Think about it, you have eliminated one Huang Liang at most now, if it is a wealthy family like the Zeng family or the Hai family, how many Huang Liang can they eliminate?"

Lu Shanmin nodded, "I understand what you mean."

Zuoqiu smiled, "Shanmin, you said last time that you realized that if you want to feed your people, you can't be trapped in the three bars on Minsheng West Road, this idea is right, once you open a company, or go to the wider world, you will meet more and more Huang Liang, if you still have the inherent temperament of Renxia, you will not be able to go far."

Lu Shanmin nodded, "I blamed you that night."

Zuoqiu smiled, "You don't have to blame yourself, it's not wrong to be jealous and hateful, if everyone in the world is jealous and hateful, people like Huang Liang will have nowhere to hide."

Lu Shanmin smiled, "In the future, I will try to be more comprehensive in my work."

Zuoqiu nodded, "Shanmin, you have always done things according to your own worldview, outlook on life and values, to put it bluntly, you have made decisions based on your instinct and intuition. It is a rare realm for people to be able to live according to themselves, and to be spontaneous and chic. But how many people in this world can live completely for themselves? In the past, you were alone, and doing so would not affect others, but now it is different, whether it is Tang Feizhou and them, or the more than 20 security guards under you, they all rely on you to eat."

After a pause, Zuoqiu stared at Lu Shanmin in a daze, "And me."

Lu Shanmin met Zuoqiu's gaze, his eyes were full of expectation, and there was a faint hint of pleading. Zuoqiu is right, he has always acted according to his own instincts, as long as he is worthy of heaven and earth, he does not violate his heart, and he does what he thinks, and he really doesn't think too much about the impact on the people around him.

Zuoqiu looked at Lu Shanmin and asked, "Lu Shanmin, can I trust you?"

Lu Shanmin looked at Zuoqiu, his eyes were very bright, like seeing a glimmer of dawn in the dark night, he didn't understand what was special about himself that could make this talented man see the dawn in himself.

Zuoqiu continued to ask, "Can you take me to fight monsters and upgrade back to the top and find the ideal in my heart?"

Lu Shanmin suddenly felt a heaviness in his heart, a heaviness that was regarded as a life-saving straw, and he never thought that he would bear the responsibility for the fate of others.

Zuoqiu asked again with a trembling voice, "Can you take me fly?"

Lu Shanmin gritted his teeth, "I'm just a mountain villager, why are you so sure that I can take you to fly."

"Because you have the integrity of a scholar, but you don't have the cowardice of a reader, reading is a double-edged sword, the more you read, the more ideas you have, and you will even be stuck, and you are different, you have a firm belief. ”

Lu Shanmin frowned, he knew best how many catties and taels he had, a mountain villager who graduated from elementary school, what qualifications could he have to bear the fate of others.

After being silent for a long time, Lu Shanmin shook his head, "I'm sorry, it's not that I'm unwilling to take responsibility, it's that I don't think I can help you at all now, if there really is a day when I can fly with you, I naturally won't leave you, as for now, I still want to take the road in front of me step by step."

Zuoqiu smiled bitterly, with a hint of disappointment in his eyes, but also a hint of surprise, no matter at any time, Lu Shanmin did not have arrogance and overestimation of himself at all, did not have the excitement of chicken blood, and did not make light promises, which is not a more trustworthy performance.

Zuoqiu nodded and smiled, "Okay, let time tell."

Then he said: "Let's talk about business, last time you said that you wanted to expand your business scope and get rid of the dilemma of being choked by Hu Weiyong and Luo Xing, do you have any ideas?"

Lu Shanmin shook his head, "Not yet, I don't know where to start, Hu Weiyong only sent his son to me two days ago, it seems that his trust in me has been further upgraded, as long as there is nothing major in the future, he should not easily deal with me."

Zuoqiu said: "It's always not wrong to take precautions, when the time comes, if you really encounter any irreconcilable contradictions, he can also kick you out of the two bars, and the initiative is always in the hands of others."

Lu Shanmin nodded, "What good way do you have?"

"Go find Luo Xing".

"Luo Xing"? Lu Shanmin frowned, "What are you looking for him?"

"If you want to get out of Minsheng West Road, of course, you have to start with people outside Minsheng West Road, Luo Xing is a person with some face in the black and white roads of the entire Baihui District, as long as he is willing to help you, it is easy to expand your business."

Lu Shanmin asked puzzledly, "Will he definitely help me?"

"Why did Luo Xing give you 30% of the shares? He is a different person, he understands a truth, 'cast a wide net for potential people, and make a wide connection', the shares of Sancheng Rose Bar are nothing to him, just just lose some money. This time you successfully won Jiang Qin, he will look at you even more differently, as long as you open your mouth, the reason is the same as giving you 30% of the shares, as long as it is not too troublesome, in exchange for your favor and gratitude, why not."

Lu Shanmin nodded, "Okay, I'll go tomorrow."

Zuoqiu said lightly: "Don't worry, you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry." The more anxious you are to beg him, the more you owe him, just wait for the time to deliver the account book this month, and it is better to let him take the initiative, so that he owes him the least."

"Hmm".

Zuoqiu continued: "The girl who came to the house today is not an ordinary person."

Lu Shanmin was stunned for a moment, and looked at Zuoqiu in surprise, "How do you know."

Zuoqiu coughed, of course he wouldn't tell Lu Shanmin about eavesdropping on the two of them this afternoon.

"I saw it when I was holding instant noodles, and I looked so beautiful, of course I wasn't an ordinary person."

Lu Shanmin didn't think much about it, and said lightly: "That's right, this girl's family background is not simple."

Zuoqiu smiled, "I think it's not easy for you to be a kid, you can meet such a person."

Lu Shanmin shook his head, "I didn't meet it by chance, it was Yaqian who deliberately let me come into contact with, and there were a few other people, one of whom was named Chen Yang, who was also a little closer to me."

Zuoqiu smiled, "Zeng Yaqian is really well-intentioned."

Lu Shanmin asked, "Do you think it's really useful for me to contact these people?"

Zuoqiu nodded and shook his head, "It's useless now, but if one day you walk close to them, it will be useful."

Lu Shanmin nodded, "I think so too, after all, the gap with them is too big, and they are not from the same world at all."

Zuoqiu looked at Lu Shanmin and said: "You have to remember one thing, when you haven't grown to a certain height, you don't ask for help to these people when you encounter any difficulties, on the one hand, apart from their family's background, they can't really help you personally, and their family won't contribute to a mountain boy who appeared inexplicably." On the other hand, it is still the same sentence, it is always necessary to pay it back when you come out to mix, it is enough to fight a fly and find a fly swatter, there is no need to find a cannon, the cost is too high and the risk is too great".

Lu Shanmin nodded, "I know this, in the final analysis, I only have ordinary contact with them, and I can't even talk about friends, let alone interests."

Zuoqiu nodded with satisfaction, "By the way, you just said that Hu Weiyong put his son with you and let him follow you, you plan to teach."

Lu Shanmin was about to speak, but Zuoqiu raised his hand to stop him, and said with a pretending force, "Let me analyze how you did it."

Lu Shanmin pouted, Zuoqiu's old problem really can't be changed, and he is only handsome for three seconds.

Zuoqiu shook his head and said, "Make a decision, flatter him, and treat him as an uncle." In the middle, each has its own way, as long as it does not affect the work of the bar. The best policy, follow the good temptation, and teach him the rules".

After speaking, he smiled and asked, "Which strategy did you choose?"

Lu Shanmin shook his head, "I beat me first, and I didn't even know my mother."

Zuoqiu was stunned for a moment, then laughed, slapped the computer desk, and raised his thumb at Lu Shanmin, "Go to the top."

Lu Shanmin coughed and pointed to the door.

Zuoqiu hurriedly covered his mouth, for fear that he would provoke Zhang Li again later.

said softly: "Yes, yes, you can teach, you are at least one-third as smart as me."

Lu Shanmin rolled his eyes, he was really handsome for three seconds, and his nature was really hard to change.

"You are not the only one who is smarter than me, but there are also many people who are smarter than you."

Zuoqiu cut out, "Impossible, except for those cattle people who have become ancient, who else is smarter than me in reality."

Lu Shanmin really couldn't get used to Zuoqiu's pretending to be forced, so he walked to the living room and picked up Qianqian's Olympiad book of this week and handed it to Zuoqiu.

"Someone doesn't need any calculations for any of the above questions, they just need to scan them to get the answer."

Zuoqiu was stunned for a moment, this afternoon he only eavesdropped on the first part of the conversation between Lu Shanmin and the girl through the crack of the door, of course he wouldn't be stupid and eavesdropped on the crack of the door for an afternoon, so the conversation between the two in the back didn't know.

"It's impossible, it's almost the same to find the idea by scanning, you can get the answer at a glance, she's not a god."

Seeing Zuoqiu's deflated appearance, Lu Shanmin smiled, "Have you heard of Ramanujan?"

Zuoqiu nodded, "Of course, that Indian Ah San, who opened the hanging, preached everywhere that his mathematics was inspired by his god, and he leaked too many heavenly secrets, and he was taken away by his god at the age of 32,".

Zuoqiu suddenly realized, "You mean that girl is a Ramanujan-like figure."

Lu Shanmin nodded, "Although it's not that terrifying, it should belong to that kind of person."

Zuoqiu was so surprised that his mouth grew up, and he sighed for a long time, "The son of a wealthy family, the talent against the sky, is really a fucking good life."

Lu Shanmin also felt the same way, "A smart head, a wealthy family, and a beautiful face, except for a lower EQ, really take all the benefits." ”

Zuoqiu shook his head, "I'm not saying that her life is good, I mean that your life is good."

"Ah"? "I"? Lu Shanmin asked puzzled.

"No matter how good the relationship between the children of a wealthy family is with you, in the end they can't escape the shackles of family interests, this girl's talent can be said to have surpassed the existence of general family interests, she is her own talent, become friends with such a person, she will take you to fly."

Lu Shanmin frowned, "What do you mean?"

"I mean, you have to get her favor and become friends with her, maybe it will bring you great benefits in the future."

Lu Shanmin still doesn't understand, "what is the great benefit"?

"Fame, this thing can't be bought by money, it's more useful than money in some places, think about it, what if one day she becomes a famous mathematician or something"?

Lu Shanmin frowned, "What will happen?"

Zuoqiu said excitedly, "You are stupid, you have studied mathematics with her, and you have discussed mathematics with her, when the time comes, you only need to get a little bit of her reputation, even those wealthy families will look up to you, this kind of academic fame is much more valuable than those movie stars, maybe even the existence of the Zeng family will not dare to underestimate you."

Lu Shanmin frowned, "You mean to let me borrow a woman's light, not to mention when she will become famous, even if she becomes famous, I am a big man, and I have to use a woman to become famous, and I am not ashamed."

Zuoqiu smiled, "I don't care if you are ashamed or not, she will teach you high school mathematics in the future, and I won't teach you anyway."

"Zuoqiu, you can't do this, we have agreed."

"Cut, you still said that you would teach me calligraphy, when did you teach me again."

"If you dare not teach, I will not pay you a salary."

"If you don't pay me, don't ask me about anything in the future."

Lu Shanmin sighed, lowered his head with a sad face, and couldn't help but want to hit Zeng Yaqian, I don't know how she is in the United States, how can she not see her feelings for herself, if she really gets too close to Ye Zixuan, I don't know how she will feel.

Zuoqiu patted Lu Shanmin on the shoulder, "Don't be afraid, this girl was introduced to you by Zeng Yaqian, as long as you control the things under your crotch, Zeng Yaqian will have no opinion."

After a pause, he said, "I don't know if you plan to go down with Zeng Yaqian, if you want to go down, you also know how difficult it is, and contact with this girl can actually be regarded as helping Zeng Yaqian pull a big assistant, Zeng Yaqian's girl is very smart, why do you deliberately introduce some rich second generations to you? In addition to allowing you to learn something from them, the idea of helping her win one or two help is not impossible."

Lu Shanmin looked at Zuoqiu dissatisfied, "What are you guessing, wouldn't it be better to pull her out, I'm a mountain villager, how can I be good friends with them."

Zuoqiu pursed his lips and said earnestly, "Mountain people, have you thought about it, why Zeng Yaqian can take a fancy to you, why my dignified top students of Tianjing University are willing to assist you, why can you fight Wang Dahu, why Tang Fei is dead set on you, why is even a snob like Hu Weiyong starting to treat you as a friend now"?

"Shanmin, you are a fan of the authorities, Zeng Yaqian dared to bring you into that circle, which shows that she has the same vision as my Zuoqiu, she believes that if you can attract her, you can naturally attract other people in that circle."

Lu Shanmin looked at Zuoqiu in surprise, "I'm so good?!!

Zuoqiu lowered his head and thought for a long time, "Maybe you are not very good, but you can attract a group of excellent people to gather around you."

Lu Shanmin stared at Zuoqiu in disbelief, "How is it possible, I'm just an ordinary mountain villager."

Zuoqiu smiled, stared at Lu Shanmin lightly, and thought, how can you be just an ordinary mountain villager, you have a grandfather who has insight into the world and people's hearts, and is full of poetry and books, his words are full of great wisdom, how can the grandson taught by such a grandfather be an ordinary mountain villager; you have the perseverance cultivated by more than ten years of calligraphy practice; you also have a physique far beyond that of a hunter in the mountains. All of this seems to have been carefully planned. Ordinary villagers in the mountains and wilderness can hide it from other people and even Lu Shanmin himself, but they can't hide it from my Zuoqiu.

Zuoqiu was very curious, and a fleeting thought flashed through his mind, was Lu Shanmin really just a mountain villager born? Is there a shocking secret hidden behind him that even he doesn't know.
