To his status and height, he knows very well that a person's ability is very limited, and no one can be omniscient, a team, a collective, each performing its own duties, and playing the greatest role in their respective positions is the key to achieving the final victory.

Lu Shanmin didn't want to catch up with He Zhang's level in a short period of time, he knew that it was impossible, and he didn't have the luxury of reaching the same height as him in economic academics, the goal he needed to achieve was to learn as much as possible to ensure that he could understand what he was saying, to understand the ideas and principles, and to have a common language, in order to be able to carry out in-depth communication, in order to have a clear assessment on the whole.

The one-month deadline given by Tao Ranzhi has long passed, and it took Lu Shanmin two and a half months to barely finish reading the books in the dormitory, and he still lacks a lot of in-depth and accurate cognition.

This learning progress shocked Tao Ranzhi and He Zhang, but Lu Shanmin himself knew very well that this was not because of how smart he was, but because he needed this knowledge, just like a person needs water in the desert, when the desire for something or something reaches a certain level, people will burst out with incredible potential.

There are two kinds of learning this kind of thing, one is to learn for the sake of learning, and the other is to learn with problems in order to solve them. Of course, this has nothing to do with his diligent efforts and good thinking day and night, but for him, the problems that can be solved with hard work are not a problem at all, and compared to those problems that are difficult to solve with hard work, this problem is really not a problem.

Tao Ranzhi, who hadn't asked Lu Shanmin about his studies for a long time, asked him to go to the office today.

Students are on winter vacation, most of the teachers have left the school, and the teacher's office building is deserted.

Tao Ranzhi's office door was hidden, and Lu Shanmin knocked on the door.

"Come in", Tao Ranzhi's faint voice sounded inside.

Lu Shanmin pushed the door in, put a thick stack of notebooks and newspapers and magazines on Tao Ranzhi's desk, since the last time he saw Tao Ranzhi in the office, Lu Shanmin also followed Tao Ranzhi's method, cut out all the economic magazines and newspapers that he had read and thought were important, and divided them into categories and sandwiched them in a large folder.

Tao Ranzhi didn't look at Lu Shanmin, put on thick tortoiseshell reading glasses, and began to look through Lu Shanmin's notebook.

Lu Shanmin sat quietly opposite Tao Ranzhi, and didn't say a word except for pouring boiling water on Tao Ranzhi's fast-drinking teacup from time to time.

This sat for a whole afternoon, and it wasn't until it got dark that Tao Ranzhi stopped reading, but there was still a notebook that he hadn't finished reading.

Tao Ranzhi closed the notebook, moved his wrists, and rubbed his temples. said lightly: "I'm old, I'm dizzy in just a few hours, it's not as good as you young people."

"Boss Tao is meticulous, and this is exactly where we young people want to learn."

Tao Ranzhi finally raised his eyelids and looked at Lu Shanmin, "It's very good, I can see that I have worked hard and put my heart into it."

"Boss Tao teaches by word and deed, I dare not slack off."

Tao Ranzhi looked at Lu Shanmin lightly, his heart was very complicated, there is no doubt that Lu Shanmin has the qualities that a typical good student should have, hard work, studiousness, good thinking, always keep the teacher's words in mind, and never bargain, to complete without discount, which is very similar to He Zhang. But there is an essential difference between the two, which makes it difficult for him to really like Lu Shanmin as a student.

"There are two kinds of people in the world who are most likely to learn well, one is like He Zhang, who is very interested in economic laws, and interest is the best teacher, so that people are tired of learning, and the more they learn, the more motivated they are. There is also a kind of situation where you don't like what you learn very much, but it is useful to you, and you will be hungry to learn."

Saying that, he looked into Lu Shanmin's eyes, "What kind of student do you think I prefer?"

Lu Shanmin's brows furrowed slightly, he could feel that Professor Tao was a little dislike of him, this is the natural lack of affection of academics for business people, this dislike can be traced back to more than 2,000 years ago, for thousands of years, Shinong industry and commerce, businessmen ranked last, Chinese intellectuals have always looked down on businessmen, even in this era, this kind of gene that penetrates into the bone marrow of intellectuals still cannot be eliminated.

"Confucius said that there is no class in teaching, and I think, as a respected educator, you have a broad mind for students."

Tao Ranzhi said bluntly, with a faint anger in his tone, "Businessmen do not talk about right and wrong, they are mercenary, but I am an intellectual and a people's teacher, and I have to be responsible for my students, and in my eyes there is right and wrong."

Lu Shanmin and Tao Ranzhi looked at each other without the slightest timidity, "Lao Tzu said, 'All things are cultivated together without harming each other, and the avenues are parallel but not contradictory', all roads lead to Rome, how can there be so many black and white truths in this world." My grandfather said that there is no black and white in the world, black and white only in the human heart, and the human heart is the most difficult thing in the world to guess. Boss, you should know better than me, some people are still righteous on stage in the morning, and they are sent to prison in the afternoon, and some experts and scholars are still shouting about academic ethics one day, and the next day they are exposed to plagiarism in their papers. I once knew two undercover police officers, who were still mistaken for scum by many people, who were burdened with misunderstandings and humiliation, and hid their merits and fame, and how many people knew that they were black and white."

Tao Ranzhi looked at Lu Shanmin in a daze, "Are you giving me a lesson?"

"Students don't dare, I just don't dare to expire your deadline and say what is in my heart."

Tao Ranzhi snorted coldly, "Then let me tell you, what you said does really exist, but not everyone in this world is a politician, not everyone is a businessman, not everyone wants to understand the so-called true meaning of the world like you, on the contrary, the vast majority of people don't need to see the so-called real world people's hearts, they need some people to clearly divide black and white for them, to tell the world which is black and which is white." Education is to draw a clear black and white line, and it is impossible for all textbooks to have a black and white blurred so-called true meaning of life, and I am a teacher and a scholar, and what my identity gives me is black and white."

Lu Shanmin looked at Tao Ranzhi in a daze, before Tao Ranzhi said this, he even thought that Tao Ranzhi was a little pedantic, but after hearing him say this, he couldn't help but feel a sense of respect from the bottom of his heart, some things turned out to be nothing to do with black and white, only about responsibility, he had never thought about this problem.

Lu Shanmin didn't look at Tao Ranzhi anymore, and lowered his head slightly, "Boss Tao is right, some things have nothing to do with right or wrong, true or false, different people have different missions and responsibilities."

Tao Ranzhi took a deep breath, and his tone gradually softened, "This is a school, a palace of knowledge, a place for pure learning, not a battlefield, and should not be polluted irrelevantly."

Lu Shanmin looked at Tao Ranzhi in a daze, "Boss, is something wrong?"

Tao Ranzhi stared at Lu Shanmin with half-squinted eyes, "Don't tell me you don't know anything"?

"Don't know what"?

Tao Ranzhi stared at Lu Shanmin for a long time, and said lightly: "Your senior brother and second senior sister were banned by the Nalan family, and in Tianjing, in the entire industry, they will no longer have a foothold."

After Lu Shanmin was slightly shocked, he said lightly: "Boss, you won't suspect that I did it, right?"

Tao Ranzhi's eyes closed slightly, and he muttered, "I really can't figure out how a big family like the Nalan family can be so small."

"Boss, I admit that the senior brother and the second senior sister were implicated by me in this matter, but no matter how strong my ability is, it is impossible for me to influence the top decision-maker of the Nalan family to make decisions, if I had this ability, I would have slapped the Nalan family to death a long time ago, why bother."

Of course, Tao Ranzhi also knew this truth, but this matter seemed too bizarre to him, it was too abnormal, and he always had a vague thought in his mind, which made him subconsciously wonder if Lu Shanmin was calculating his students, this contradictory idea was complex and intertwined, but he couldn't find any evidence.

The two were silent for a long time, and Lu Shanmin said lightly: "The Nalan family has tried to kill me three or four times, but I have no relatives and friends in Tianjing, and I don't have any assets, so they can't do anything about me, and it's not impossible to be angry with the senior brother and the second senior sister in anger."

Tao Ranzhi lowered his head slightly, his brows furrowed, and his mind was entangled, when Yang Xueli and He Ran were both blocked, his first impulse was to expel Lu Shanmin, which was the best way for him to save his two proud disciples, but when facing Lu Shanmin, he still hesitated, as a senior intellectual, to make any decision, he needed a moral support point in his heart, and he needed a reason to convince himself, otherwise it would be difficult to open this mouth.

Although this incident was caused by Lu Shanmin, the essence was not Lu Shanmin's fault, and the only way to blame it was the narrowness and despicability of the Nalan family. Unable to find enough reasons to convince himself, the intellectual's nobility and sense of moral consciousness made him unable to make up his mind in the end. This is a common problem of many high-level intellectuals in academic circles, who always like to put themselves on the moral high ground and die to save face and suffer crimes.

Lu Shanmin keenly discovered Tao Ranzhi's entanglement at the moment, and could probably guess what he was thinking, he was very bottomless in his heart, if Tao Ranzhi really ruthlessly drove him away, it would be troublesome.

The two didn't speak for a long time, and the atmosphere in the office was a little depressing, and after a long time, Lu Shanmin sighed and said, "Boss Tao, I know I'm embarrassing you, or I'd better leave."

Tao Ranzhi raised his head violently, his eyes shone brightly, he couldn't open his mouth, but it would be different if Lu Shanmin proposed to leave by himself, at least it was self-deception in conscience, self-comfort, and finally found a step that could be taken down.

Just as he was about to push the boat down the river, Lu Shanmin said with a sad face: "I'm sorry for Professor Ma, he is such a face-loving person, if he knew that I was fired, I don't know if he would jump off the building and commit suicide."

Tao Ranzhi's lips trembled, he now knew that he had misunderstood Lu Shanmin's words, this little fox was playing tricks with him, and he couldn't say anything about pushing the boat along the water.

Lu Shanmin smiled bitterly and comforted: "Boss, don't worry, I will pay back the sweet potatoes you owed Professor Ma back then, and when I go back to the East China Sea and pull a car to his house, he won't blame you."

Tao Ranzhi's old face turned red, where does this mean that he wants to leave automatically, obviously threatening him with Ma Guodong's friendship.

After a long time, Tao Ranzhi sighed helplessly, "Stay, you didn't do anything, you can't be blamed for this."

Lu Shanmin breathed a sigh of relief, nodded gratefully, got up and bowed to Tao Ranzhi, turned around and prepared to leave.

Tao Ranzhi looked at Lu Shanmin blankly, not knowing what his action meant, "Where are you going?"

Lu Shanmin turned around and smiled at Tao Ranzhi, "I'll go to the library to find a book."

Tao Ranzhi had a sense of anger that his IQ and EQ were deeply insulted, "Didn't you say you were leaving"?

Lu Shanmin grinned and said: "It's hard to be gracious, how can I live up to your kindness, if you come, you will be safe, boss, I will study hard."

Tao Ran pointed to the nose of the mountain people from afar, and his wrists trembled with anger, "Hurry up and get out of me"!

Lu Shanmin sighed, walked to the door and stopped, looked back at Tao Ranzhi, with a serious face, "Boss, the senior brother and the second senior sister have grown up, you don't have to worry too much, any setbacks are accumulating strength for future battles." After saying that, he raised his feet and ran out quickly.

Ma Guodong was lying on the rattan chair and reading the book gracefully, and suddenly sneezed several times in a row, and said to the back room: "Old woman, it must be Lu Shanmin's stinky boy who misses me."

"You should be proud, maybe Old Man Tao is poking you in the back."

Ma Guodong said with a smile: "How is it possible, such an excellent student, he has picked up a treasure, I think he must be very grateful to me in his heart." Saying that, Yang Tian let out a long sigh, "Old Man Tao owes me a debt that I can't pay off in this life."

"Isn't it just a sweet potato, you've been talking about it all your life, and you don't have a little face."

Ma Guodong smiled proudly: "Sweet potatoes are a trivial matter, give him such a good student, what will he pay back."

Ma Guodong was intoxicated with the beautiful reverie he weaved, and he didn't know that Tao Ranzhi was scolding him in the office.

Walking on campus, Lu Shanmin's mood was also quite complicated, thinking that he could guess that this was a good thing that Zuoqiu did, I don't know how he persuaded Nalan Ziran to do such a stupid thing, on the one hand, let everyone see Nalan Ziran's stupidity, further intensify the contradiction between him and Nalan Zhenshan, and on the other hand, it also forced Yang Xueli and He Ran to throw themselves into his arms behind, although these two people are still young, their level ability is definitely super-first-class, and they are all talents he urgently needs. Capable, young and driven, and with a feud with the Nalan family, they will soon become the bravest warriors in this war.

Thinking of Tao Ranzhi's painful and tangled appearance just now, he felt quite guilty, Xiucai met a soldier, Tao Ranzhi is Xiucai, he is that soldier, he always feels that he is a bit of a hooligan bullying a pure expert and scholar, this feeling makes him feel a little unkind.

.........

........

Sometimes a person makes a decision that seems stupid to everyone, not because he is really stupid, but because other people simply cannot put themselves in their shoes and put themselves in the shoes of the problem.

The situation faced by Nalan Ziran made him feel like he was on pins and needles, although Zuoqiu repeatedly advised him to calm down, but he knew that he was in such a situation, and few people could really maintain a good attitude.

As Nalan Ziying made more and more small moves, frequently contacted the large and small shareholders of Xinghui Group, and as the time of Nalan Zhenshan's one-year general counsel became closer and closer, Nalan Ziran became more and more nervous.

Every night he can't sleep well, there is such a scene in the dream repeatedly, Nalan Zhenshan's general adviser has expired for one year, at the shareholders' meeting, the final transfer of power is underway, he is happily speaking, but suddenly someone stood up and pointed at his nose and scolded, and then everyone stood up, one by one, one by one, with blood and anger, everyone was punished, some people wanted Nalan Zhenshan to be ordered to continue to serve as chairman of the board of directors, and some people recommended Nalan Ziying to take over as chairman. And Nalan Zhenshan and Nalan Ziying smiled and didn't even look at him.

Whenever he dreamed of such a scene, he would wake up in the middle of the night in a cold sweat.

He can't sit still, he has to do something to change the situation, but whether it is personnel, reform, or investment, he can't do anything without Nalan Zhenshan's signature.

But there is one thing he can do, that is, to deal with Lu Shanmin, the person who has reached a consensus on the whole family to deal with, even if he has no way to deal with Lu Shanmin himself, but he can start with the people around him, and deal with two people who do not have the support of a big family with a big background, as the chairman of Xinghui Group, he only needs a phone call to do it.

He no longer had the ability to think carefully about whether this decision was stupid or not, he only knew what to do, at least compared to those who only knew what they were talking about but not acting, he was resolutely carrying out the common will of the family, although it was detrimental to the majesty of the Nalan family, but his position was correct and the banner was clear.

In fact, Zuoqiu did not persuade Nalan Ziran for a long time as Lu Shanmin thought, if he really did this, there was a risk of arousing the suspicion of others. Dealing with smart people only needs to be clicked, and he only said four words to Nalan Ziran, "political correctness".

Nalan Ziran is a good person, Nalan Ziran is naturally a smart person, from these four words, he quickly drew inferences from one another, and thought of this most feasible action.

Nalan Zhenshan was quite angry after learning the news, and also asked Zuoqiu whose idea it was, Zuoqiu could only shake his head helplessly, I persuaded him, but I couldn't persuade him.

More than 5,000 words of chapters, just a change
