The dining table in front of him is inspired by Italian postmodernist artworks, simple and dignified, heavy and classic, revealing the characteristics of classical aesthetics everywhere, just like the man in the main seat of the table.

Yao Yi raised his head slightly, his eyes off the table, and cast his eyes on the main seat.

There is a business tycoon, the president of Yao's Group, Yao Qi.

At this time, Yao got up and wore a Kiton Polo shirt, sitting like a general, his hair was black but not shiny, there were not many wrinkles on his face, but his eyes showed perseverance, calmness and vicissitudes that had only been possessed by many years of wind and rain, like Yao Yi twenty years later.

For a moment, Yao Yi thought he was looking in the mirror.

While Yao Yi was looking at Yao Qi, Yao Qi was also looking at him.

In Yao Qi's eyes, this young man in a hand-painted T-shirt, with a thin body, smart eyes, full of enthusiasm for life, and curiosity about everything, is very much like himself 20 years ago.

For a moment, Yao Qi thought he was looking in the mirror.

The father and son looked at each other in silence, as if their gaze could transcend time.

After a long time, my father spoke, and his voice was low, like a lead cloud brewing in a storm.

"Yao Yi, you just said that you want to drop out of school?"

In the past, Yao Yi must have bowed his head in cringe under the oppression of this powerful aura. But Yao Yi, who has been a man in two lives and has also held great power, is no longer as afraid of his father's questioning as he once was.

"Yes, Dad, I'm going to drop out. Yao Yi smiled at the corner of his mouth, his expression was calm, like a high mountain, bearing the pressure of the huge waves, and he did not move.

"Yiyi, you ......"

The mother, who was sitting at my father's right hand, was angry and anxious, and she was speechless for a while.

"Mom, don't worry, don't be angry, this is my deliberate choice. ”

Yao Yi turned his head to his mother and winked playfully, since returning to this young body, his mentality seems to have become younger, this is a good thing, he can experience the feeling of being young again, but countless people dream of it but can't get it.

After appeasing his mother, Yao Yi looked at his father Yao Qi again, and said with a straight face: "Dad, I have made up my mind, but I have not yet submitted an application for withdrawal, I hope to convince you first and get your permission, this is due respect for you." ”

Yao Qi thought that his son would say something ridiculous, such as "As an adult, I have the right to choose my own future, it is my own right to go to college or not, and my parents have no right to interfere", but when he heard Yao Yi's words, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly, and was surprised.

It is indeed due respect, but at Yao Yi's age before becoming a parent, it is not easy to realize this.

After thinking about it, Yao Qi nodded lightly: "You and your sister both know that I started in sales, and you said that this is a well-thought-out choice?" Okay, give you a chance to sell me your idea, if you can convince me before the end of my meal, then I will support you." ”

Hearing this, the corners of Yao Yi's mouth rose and a triumphant smile was hooked.

Sure enough, it is still the terrible and cute dad in my memory, and it hasn't changed at all.

Knowing his son Mo Ruo's father, it was the same as the other way around, Yao Yi had already guessed that his father would say this, and he already had a draft in his heart, and said without hesitation: "There are three reasons that prompted me to make this decision. ”

"First. Yao Yi raised his index finger, "It is not necessarily easier to defend the world than to fight the world, you have laid down a piece of the country, I hope that my son will inherit his father's business, then let me put into the post as soon as possible, accept tempering in the process of actual work, and accumulate experience, and my university major and our Yao Group's business does not overlap at all, whether it is to study in college, or to study abroad in the future, it is a waste of time to get the skills and professional knowledge I need, the only advantage is to accumulate network resources, this return is far worse than my investment." ”

"Huh?" Yao Qi and his wife glanced at each other, and both of them saw doubts and surprises in each other's eyes.

This time, Yao Qi was really taken aback, these words came out of his son's mouth, and he almost thought that he was having auditory hallucinations.

Yao Yi keenly captured the change in his father's expression, struck while the iron was hot, and raised his second finger: "I am the continuation of your life, I am grateful to you for giving me life and superior living conditions, but I don't want to stand behind you forever and live in your shadow, I want to live my own wonderful life and go my own way." ”

In the previous life, Yao Yi followed the route arranged by his father, went to school, studied, went abroad to gild, returned to China on a blind date, and spent the best time of his life in confusion, but his often throbbing sincerity had nowhere to put it.

Now that he is living again, Yao Yi does not want to repeat the route that is no challenge and no fun.

However, if you want to impress your father, it is not enough to rely on these lines that have long been rotten on the street.

You have to add some ingredients to make the flame of emotions burn even more!

"Third. Yao Yi raised his ring finger, stared at his father's eagle-sharp eyes, and said emotionally, "I want to have a sense of superiority, a real sense of superiority!"

"I am the rich second generation, the rich second generation that everyone envies and despises, lying in the shadow of my parents to enjoy life, obviously I have not made any efforts, but I can enjoy luxury cars, mansions and hundreds of millions of assets that others can't struggle for in a lifetime!"

"Some people may think that this is very good and happy, but I don't think so! Happiness comes from satisfaction, from a sense of superiority, I am not satisfied with what I have done in the past 20 years, and I don't have any sense of superiority when compared to my peers!"

"Do you know why I don't have a sense of superiority? Because when I was a child, you said to me: 'Whenever you want to criticize someone, remember that not everyone in this world has the advantages that you have,' from The Great Gatsby, and it is also a father's admonition to his son. ”

"This sentence, I have been remembering this sentence all these years, whenever I see a peer who is not as good as me, I will think of this sentence, I will think, his grades are not as good as mine, not necessarily because I am smarter than him or harder than him, it is likely because I don't need to do housework to share energy, but he has to help poor parents set up stalls, it is likely that I have first-class famous teachers one-on-one extracurricular tutoring, and he may not be able to afford a decent pen!"

"Dad, can you understand my feelings?"

Yao Yi propped up the table with both hands, stood up excitedly, raised his voice and continued: "Everyone needs recognition, and the recognition and self-recognition of others are no exception! I want to prove myself! I want to be recognized! I hope that one day in the future, when I see that others are not as good as me, I can say openly that they are just not as good as me, I am better than them!"

I don't want to waste time on studies that don't mean to me, I want to start from the bottom, climb up step by step, walk the path you have walked, and see the scenery you see!"
