In the study room on the third floor of the villa, Li Yu told Bian Xuedao about the beginning and end of the "Love Steamed Bun Shop" from opening to closing.

- Li Yu's parents opened this steamed bun shop because they heard from their son that his girlfriend was pregnant and wanted to do something good for his grandchildren, in addition to that, there was also a hidden purpose to help Li Yu change his luck. The Li family originally had tens of millions of fortunes, but suddenly declined into an ordinary family, and it was impossible not to be without a little doubt and touch. In fact, Li Yu's mother secretly asked the more famous "Mr. near Songjiang" and carefully counted the eight characters of the Li family. The fortune-telling results showed that although Li Yu's father had the luck of a loser, it was only a bad year, and Li Yu's problem was "much more serious".

-- Several fortune tellers said in unison that Li Yu's luck in the second half of his life was very bad, very bad, and implied that the decline of the Li family was not unrelated to Li Yu's bad luck. Calculating such information, Li's father felt a little less guilty, and Li's mother's complaints about her husband were a little lighter, but at the same time, parents began to worry about their son's future. The Li family's tens of millions of fortunes have been defeated, it can be seen that the gold and silver mountains are useless, and the matter of luck can only be solved by luck, so Li Yu's parents opened the love steamed bun shop.

-- Li Yu's parents had the idea of transporting and accumulating blessings for their children and grandchildren, and sent steamed buns to do good deeds, and their intentions could not be described as resolute. Generally speaking, this kind of good deed with the purpose of "self-interest" is generally more persistent, but Li Yu's parents persisted for a year and a half, and they really couldn't hold on anymore. It's not that I can't get the money to give away steamed buns for free, but it's too bad and sad. In fact, the Li family's "Love Steamed Bun Shop" has been on a journey of fighting wits and courage with others since the first day of opening.

-- The original rule of the Li family's steamed bun shop was to give 500 steamed buns to the homeless people, sanitation workers, and the elderly who were lonely and widowed every day. Subsequently, in the next year and a half, Li Yu's parents met all kinds of people they had never seen in most of their lives.

-- When most people get free steamed buns, they will sincerely say "thank you" or say "business is prosperous", and there are all kinds of people who have a normal sense of gratitude. Someone took the steamed bun and left, took the steamed bun for two months in a row, never said a word "thank you", one day he came late, free of charge, forced to give him steamed buns, do not give it to the door to say strange things. There are also some people, the first few days to get the steamed bread, will also say "thank you", but every day can get the steamed bread, after a long time, take the free steamed bread as a matter of course, some people occasionally did not go to get the steamed bread for a few days, and then when he went, asked Li Yu's father to make up for the steamed bread he did not come to take a few days ago. Of course Li Yu's father disagreed, after that day, the man still went to get steamed buns every day, but that expression and attitude were like collecting debts, and it was like venting his anger with the enemy's things, in short, he was taking you to eat you, and he hated you.

-- Some people park their cars on the side of the road in the early morning and get out of the car to ask Li Yu's father for free steamed buns; some people go to the steamed bun shop in the afternoon and ask Li Yu's father to "advance" his personal quota for free steamed buns in the next few days; some people ask the steamed bun shop if they can provide free pancakes and fruits; and some people even more simply ask Li Yu's father to exchange the steamed buns for cash.

――Actually, when the "Love Steamed Bun Shop" opened for 6 months, Li Yu's parents regretted it, and the two of them completely gritted their teeth and persisted in the following year. In a word: there are too few people who know how to be grateful, and there are too many wonders of ingratitude. Some people, you are obviously helping them, but after a long time, they take your help as a matter of course, and they treat you as a grandson, and gradually treat themselves as uncles. Some people, if you are 100 good to him and occasionally 1 bad, they will resent you and speak badly and hurt others.

What really led to the closure of the Li family's steamed bun shop was a physical altercation.

The conflict started when two middle-aged men queuing up to receive free steamed buns did not meet the "crowd standard" for free steamed buns in steamed bun shops, and then the two spoke ill of each other.

One said, "Why don't you fart early?

One said: "Is it because the family lacks virtue and does too much to remember to do good deeds and be a good person? ”

Doing good deeds and being scolded, of course Li Yu's mother couldn't bear it, so she reasoned with the two, and then Li Yu's mother was pushed down and injured by a middle-aged man.

After the man made his move, except for the clerk, only four or five people in the crowd queuing up to receive steamed buns in the back stood up to persuade and condemn the middle-aged man who hurt people. At that time, there were less than 40 people in the queue, but only one in 10 people stood up. After sending steamed buns for more than a year, and being sulking for more than a year, Li Yu's mother died of heart.

After being helped up, Li Yu's mother only said one sentence: "Take off the store sign!"

Sitting in the sunlight shining into the study, Bian Xuedao looked at Li Yu with a gloomy face and asked, "Have you persuaded your parents?"

Li Yu nodded: "Persuaded, and later the media also came to my house and wanted to write a positive report on the good deeds of mortals." ”

Bian Xuedao asked: "You persuade them to continue to open steamed bun shops?"

Li Yu said: "No, I don't want them to be unhappy. ”

After thinking about it, Bian Xuedao asked, "Do you think the steamed bun shop opened the wrong one?"

Li Yu shook his head and said, "That's right." ”

Bian Xuedao asked, "Then do you still want to do good deeds?"

Li Yu nodded and said, "Do it!"

Bian Xuedao asked, "Why?"

Li Yu said: "Good things are difficult to do, but what should be done still has to be done, and some things must be done." ”

Bian Xuedao continued to ask, "How?"

Li Yu said: "Do whatever you want." ”

Bian Xuedao asked with a smile: "Aren't you afraid of being misunderstood and abused?"

Li Yu raised his head, looked at a pot of Junzi Lan in front of the window and said: "Justice is in the hearts of the people, even if it is misunderstood, even if it is hated, there must be more people who love me." ”

……

……

Li Yu left Bian's house and went to the hotel.

Bian Xuedao sat alone in front of the study window, recalling Li Yu's words, and sighed.

Generally speaking, the Li family's "love steamed bun shop" failed because it was too idealistic.

Li Yu's parents take it for granted that if they do good deeds, they will get a kind response, and they take it for granted that if they are good to others, others will be good to themselves.

Now that I think about it, the Li family's tens of millions of fortunes can fail so quickly, there must be many reasons, and the idealistic thinking of Li's father and Li mother must be one of the "culprits".

And what about Li Yu?

He obviously inherited the "idealized gene" of his parents, so Li Yu's external traits are kindness, generosity, single-mindedness, righteousness, uprightness and stubbornness.

Li Yu's character traits will be very shining charm points in school, but when he graduates and enters the society, when he walks out of the ivory tower and goes to the primeval jungle, in addition to "single-mindedness", other points can become the Achilles' heel used by ill-intentioned people.

This also explains why in Beidaihe that year, Zhu Haishan's peripheral warlock said that Li Yu had been unlucky for 40 years since he was twenty-three or four years old, and the Li family also said similar comments from other fortune tellers.

Bian Xuedao could almost conclude that in that time and space when he was an unknown reviewer, Li Yu's life might have been worse than his.

The so-called "character determines fate", this is it!

Reflecting on the gains and losses of the Li family's "love steamed bun shop", and examining Li Yu's life trajectory from the perspective of a reborn, Bian Xuedao gradually gained something.

We must not be too idealistic, but we must not be without a little ideal, and we must not be too realistic, but we must not ignore reality at all.

Thorough idealism is bound to make some sacrifices, and thorough realism is bound to annihilate some conscience, neither of which is desirable in Bian Xuedao's view.

Bian Xuedao is a mixture of the two -- he has no lofty ideals, and he will not do things that are harmful to others and disadvantage. He will not fanatically sacrifice for the so-called great righteousness, nor will he give up his deep adherence to morality and justice. He will fight for it and he will give it up. He will persevere, and he will be flexible. He will sway, but he will finally find his original intention.

And what about the road to success?

Realists are comparatively more likely to succeed, but their success is limited, they succeed because of realism, and they limit success because of realism.

The great successes of human society are all far-sighted, ambitious, daring to think and act, and not giving up lightly, and they will not turn back in the face of the temporary "iron wall reality" because they believe in realism.

The truly outstanding people in history must at least be a "semi-idealist", because only ideals can guide people through the fog to a direction forever, and only ideals can make people unique and find a new way to become a family.

For Bian Xuedao, if he doesn't want the huge group that is rising to the sun to lose its motivation and direction after 2014, he must give himself an ideal.

On the evening of August 7, the conference room of Yanjing Branch of Youdao Group.

Bian Xuedao and the senior executives of the group who had arrived in Beijing held a meeting together to determine the latest guest list of the reception on the evening of the 9th, as well as the preparations for the reception.

At the beginning of the meeting, several freshly printed copies of the latest guest list were circulated in the hands of the participants.

On the French side, Lévi-Bernard, Ambassador of France to China, President of the French Wine Association and President of the Confederation of Bordeaux Cru was present at the reception, as well as 53 owners of the Winery Federation.

The French ambassador to China will come, firstly, because the French embassy has opened a Weibo account on Zhiwei's Weibo, and he has dealt with Youdao Group. Second, because one of the main purposes of this reception is to promote French Bordeaux wines in China, and he, as the French ambassador to China, should be welcome.

As for the 53 owners of the wineries in one go, it is because of the impact of the global economic crisis, the sales of Bordeaux wines in Europe and North America have declined, and it is urgent to open up the huge emerging market of China to boost performance.

In addition to the French, there are also many wine merchants from all over the world.

Part of the invitation to this reception was sent by Youdao Group, and part of it was sent by the "Bordeaux Classified Vineyard Federation".

Therefore, there are more than 80 wine merchants from all over the world who have a cooperative relationship with the Famous Wineries Federation and celebrities from various countries who have a relationship with the Famous Wineries Federation.

The reason why so many people came had a lot to do with the date of the reception.

Many people came to Yanjing to watch the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games, and by the way, they stayed for an extra day.

In the list of more than 80 people, there is one name that caught the attention of executives - Selena Gustaf.

"The little princess of the Swedish royal family, who has had an affair with Boss Bian, will come to attend the group's cocktail party?!"

"What does this mean?"

Liao Lian and Fu Caining exchanged subtle glances with each other.

Compared with the executives under him, Bian Xuedao's eyes were attracted by another name - Jin Yajing!

Kim Chuan Hyuk's daughter, Kim Ya Jeong!

What did she come to do?
