Chapter 57 is a stupid and naïve who has never seen the world
Sheng Chen's choice of Fang Shanmu is equivalent to choosing a marriage that can accompany her for a lifetime, her decision is correct and far-sighted.
When Fang Shanmu saw the expressions of envy and excitement on the familiar faces, he knew that he and Sheng Chen's performance had initially won recognition and had not been recognized. Only Meng Wei's eyes were complex and meaningful.
Meng Wei was far less excited than Zheng Yuandong, he just nodded lightly and smiled slightly: "Here, sit." ”
Don't worry about Fang Shanmu, Zheng Yuandong has already arranged the position - he is sitting on the left of Zheng Yuandong, Meng Wei is on the right, Sheng Chen is next to him, and next to Sheng Chen, it is Qi Yiqi.
The other students also sat down separately, sorted according to the distance and proximity in Zheng Yuandong's mind.
Fang Shanmu saw it, although strictly speaking, he and Meng Wei were the hosts, after all, they had been in the capital for the longest time, and they were half of the capital, but Zheng Yuandong was mainly anti-guest, as if he was a landlord, and he was still the class leader of the year.
"Whoever wants to add vegetables can just say. If you want to drink red wine, there is red wine, if you want to drink white wine, there is white wine, Lao Fang, Lao Meng, Lao Qi, let's just drink white, right?" Zheng Yuandong said as he opened a bottle of 53-degree sauce-flavored liquor.
"I can't drink liquor, no, I can't drink alcohol......" Qi Yiqi waved his hand repeatedly, looking embarrassed, "Far East, you don't know me, when I drink in school, I get drunk, I vomit when I get drunk, and when I get drunk, don't let me be embarrassed when I get together." ”
If it was before, Zheng Yuandong would not have forced Qi Yiqi, but today he was a little tempered, and said reluctantly: "Old Qi, either drink or go, choose one of the two, you can do it yourself." It's been an old friend for so many years, I don't have a relationship with you, you also know what kind of person I am, there are no outsiders here, I am responsible for sending you back if you drink too much, and if you vomit blood, I will send you to the hospital, all in charge. ”
Qi Yiqi's face was a little unbearable, and he smiled: "Far East, you, what do you mean, don't you force me to go?" Okay, I'll go." ”
"Sit down. Fang Shanmu grabbed Qi Yiqi and pressed him to the seat, "In this way, how much can you drink today, this is almost the most complete gathering we have after graduation, nearly 20 years, how many 20 years can there be in life?
"But, but ......" Qi Yiqi still wanted to say something, he looked embarrassed, and tried to squeeze out a wry smile, "Why do you all have to force me?
It's really not a good way, although Fang Shanmu has the best relationship with Qi Yiqi, he is also ashamed of him. After so many years, Qi Yiqi is still trapped in his own small world and can't get out of trouble, doesn't he know Zheng Yuandong's temper? On the surface, Zheng Yuandong is strong and domineering, but in fact, as long as he takes advantage of the situation, Zheng Yuandong is very good at talking, and he will accept it when he sees it.
Even if he agrees to drink, he will just touch his lips and get by on his face, Zheng Yuandong will no longer be embarrassed for him.
Zheng Yuandong was really angry, and waved his hand impatiently: "Today is my bureau, I have the final say, Qi Yiqi, you can do it!"
In the cold tone, there is the meaning of chasing customers.
Qi Yiqi was also thin-skinned, stood up quickly, turned around to leave, and was stopped by Meng Wei again.
Meng Wei's face was gloomy, and his tone was not good: "You feel that you have no face, don't you? Old Seven, how old are you, haven't you lived to understand? Before you succeed, the world will not care about your dignity and face! Face is a thing, if you don't have wealth and status, you won't have face." Put away your pathetic and useless self-esteem, don't always feel that others are humiliating you, you are wrong, you are not even qualified to let others humiliate. Classmates are together, let you drink, let you sing and dance, all for fun, nothing else. ”
Qi Yiqi's face turned red: "You don't know, Zheng Yuandong has looked down on me since he was in school, and now he looks down on me even more, so he wants me to get drunk and make a fool of ......"
"You're really thinking too much, old Qi. Fang Shanmu stood up and pressed Qi Yiqi again, "In Zheng Yuandong's dictionary, inviting you to drink is the only way to look up to you, you are misunderstanding his kindness." You remember that others respect you, not because you are good, but because others are good. Recognizing this is the beginning of your excellence. ”
"That's it......" Fang Shanmu's words moved Qi Yiqi, he lowered his head and thought for a while, poured half a glass of wine, and raised it, "Old Fang is right, from now on, I will begin to respect everyone." Since Lao Zheng felt that drinking alcohol was a sign of respect for him, I reluctantly took a drink. ”
After drinking it in one gulp, Qi Yiqi choked and coughed a few times, and hurriedly drank a large sip of water and pressed it down.
Zheng Yuandong lightly slapped his palm a few times, and smiled lightly: "Face is mutual, Lao Qi, okay, you give me strength, I can't help but accept it, right?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately drank most of the half glass of wine in one gulp, which was more than 5 times that of Qi Yiqi's small glass and half a glass.
After drinking, Zheng Yuandong took out his mobile phone and sent a WeChat, and after sending it, he deliberately let Fang Shanmu look at it and smiled quietly: "Keep it secret, don't say it, don't hurt people's self-esteem." ”
WeChat was sent to Guo Nu, the person in charge of the Beijing branch of Zheng's Group: "Lao Guo, Qi Yiqi of the marketing department of the branch is my old classmate, take proper care of it in the future, double the salary, and raise the level by one level." ”
Fang Shanmu smiled slightly and patted Zheng Yuandong's shoulder: "The style has not diminished back then, it is still the previous formula, and it is still the taste of the year, but there is a little more vicissitudes of life, and there is more of a feeling of domineering president." ”
"I've never been a domineering president, don't bury me, haha. Zheng Yuandong laughed a few times, "You only know when you really become the president, sometimes you are domineering, sometimes you are low-voiced, sometimes you are compromised, sometimes you retreat again and again, all your domineering in the face of your powerlessness is just a small episode, the real life of the president is all kinds of anxiety." ”
"It's an exaggeration, just by virtue of your Zheng Yuandong's ability and personality, and the relationship between the troubles that are uneven and unreasonable?" Fang Shanmu raised his glass, "Four years of classmates, more than ten years of separation, meet again today, come, I will raise a glass, and wish our friendship a long time." ”
Everyone responded and drank it all. Qi Yiqi frowned, took another sip like a pill, didn't cough again, and was obviously a little better than last time.
"Troubles can be settled and the relationship can be straightened out, but there is always a link that cannot be helped, you are now starting a business, and you also know what is the most unpredictable ......" Zheng Yuandong didn't care about everyone, poured a cup himself, touched it with Fang Shanmu, and drank it in one gulp, "The market is changing rapidly, people's hearts are the most difficult to understand, the market is like a woman's heart, sometimes you think you have caught it, but she turned around and ran to someone else's side, right, Sheng Chen?"
No one expected that Zheng Yuandong's topic was like driving a fast car, turning so fast, and it suddenly came to Sheng Chen, and everyone couldn't help but be surprised.
Fang Cai had already learned Zheng Yuandong's words from Qi Yiqi, and everyone here didn't know that Zheng Yuandong had a deep love for Sheng Chen back then, and their eyes widened, expecting Fang Shanmu's counterattack.
Among everyone, Zheng Yuandong deserves to be the person with the highest net worth, of course, he is the second generation of wealth, and he is blessed by natural wealth. If you only start from scratch, Fang Shanmu should be the first. But after he lost his job, he started his business again, he should not be as successful as Meng Wei, right? But a person's success cannot only look at his career, now Fang Shanmu's family is happy, and his son is also very good, on the whole, he is still the one with the highest score.
I think the reason why Sheng Chen chose Fang Shanmu back then, I am afraid it was also because Fang Shanmu's comprehensive conditions were the best, right? People with real vision will choose a compound life partner who is not very outstanding in all aspects but exceeds the average, in the long run, at the beginning of the family, in the middle of the fight for intelligence and knowledge, in the early second half of the fight for ability and pattern, and in the middle of the second half, it depends on the comprehensive quality.
A person who has no shortcomings in all aspects is the most terrible, because he has the stamina and perseverance to go the farthest. People who stand out in one area often have obvious deficiencies in other areas. The world is fair and does not make one perfect.
Fang Shanmu smiled generously: "Far East, you are wrong, the market is not a woman's heart, a woman's heart, the clouds on the horizon, fluctuating, the market is not, the market has a certain regular cycle." Relatively speaking, a woman's heart is 100 times more difficult to fathom than the market. ”
Sheng Chen pretended not to hear, and just lowered his head to eat, but there was a hint of a smile in the corner of his eyes.
"I don't understand, why can you capture Sheng Chen's heart but I can't? But in terms of grasping the market, you are not as good as me. Zheng Yuandong laughed, "Shan Mu, do you know what I admire you the most? It's not that you used to be the vice president of the United Network Company, yes, the United Network is amazing, I don't dare to apply, and if I apply, I may not be admitted, let alone become the vice president." It's that you let Sheng Chen follow you with all his heart back then, and the one who made a fortune in a muffled voice is the real master. After so many years, I have never been able to figure out, what kind of means did you use against Sheng Chen?"
"Is love really an equivalent business exchange between a man and a woman according to their own values?" If it was before the cold war with Sheng Chen, Fang Shanmu really had no way to answer Zheng Yuandong's question, after more than a year of cold war with Sheng Chen, as well as his unemployment, entrepreneurship, and the deduction of different versions of the story line of the growth game also triggered his deep thinking about many things, of course, it also benefited from Sheng Chen's recent growth, which made him feel deeply.
"From the point of view of eulogy and beabellishment, yes! Love is a series of chemical reactions between men and women in order to reproduce under the deception of hormones. On the surface, it is admiration and attraction, but in fact it is essentially the reproductive instinct of animals. Fang Shanmu asked and answered himself, his eyes swept over everyone in turn, "Who hasn't been young yet?" When he first fell in love with a girl for the first time, he had the urge to fight for her and even play with his life. Looking back now, the impulse at that time was the devil, the stupidity and naivety who had never seen the world. ”
