Chapter 82: A Candid Conversation
Xu Xingkong is still self-aware, after the meeting at the head office, he didn't even have the last bit of pride, maybe his IQ is indeed a little higher than that of ordinary people, and his brain power is relatively easy to use, but this is not of decisive significance.
In business, it is not who has a higher IQ, but emotional intelligence, as long as it is not too stupid, or even if it is stupid, it doesn't matter, because you can ask smart people to help, what is more important in the shopping mall is the ability to manage the network and gambling, followed by communication ability and eloquence, and even many times IQ will play a counterproductive role, after all, everyone prefers to associate with stupid people, and is afraid of those smart people.
Of course, Xu Xingkong couldn't understand these little secrets right away, but the old foxes at the meeting at least let him understand that experience is obviously more important than IQ, and those old guys were very supportive of Lin Xiaotong's father's face, but at the same time, they took the credit for the advice away from Lin Xiaotong with just a few words, leaving only the hard work of implementing the promotion.
The whole process of the meeting was very harmonious on the surface, but secretly it quietly completed the exchange of interests and compromises, some people came with great interest, but some people went back with some grievances, and some people appeared quietly, but left with a full harvest.
Xu Xingkong looked at this qiē coldly, like a god overlooking all living beings, and did not feel worthless for Lin Xiaotong, because he did not have that qualification, Xu Xingkong felt that this ubiquitous game of interests was quite interesting, and there was a sense of joy in clearing the clouds.
The general planning case was taken away by the headquarters, and Lin Xiaotong was only left with the task of running errands, but the appearance of people was not too ugly, not to mention the self-evident benefits exchanged for Lin Xiaotong's father, Lin Xiaotong's own ability was indeed unanimously recognized by the board of directors, and at the same time, the board of directors completely handed over the personnel power of the operation department to Lin Xiaotong as compensation, which is also reasonable.
It's just that on the way to the banquet, Xu Xingkong turned into a big trash can, and put all the negative feelings of Lin Xiaotong into it, Xu Xingkong suddenly realized that one of the important roles of the assistant was this.
After eating a banquet that was not very pleasant, Lin Xiaotong had no interest in continuing to talk nonsense with these old guys, so he directly pulled Xu Xingkong away, and Lin Xiaotong, who had not drunk, sent Xu Xingkong to his residence first, and then drove home by himself.
It was almost ten o'clock when Xu Xingkong returned home, Lu Weidong had already washed up and was ready to go to bed, and when he saw Xu Xingkong coming in with a smell of alcohol, Lu Weidong turned off the TV, got up and walked to his bedroom.
"What about watching TV? Don't need to review your homework? ”
Xu Xingkong muttered very casually, Lu Weidong turned around and pouted, "What are you doing reviewing your homework?" Getting into a good university? And then what? Killed by demons without resistance? Is it me sick or are you sick? ”
"Amount"
"I think you're living a good life, you're drunk and dreaming of death every day, even if you accidentally hang up one day, it's worth it, if I hang up one day, when I go to the palace of Hades, I find that I've been busy reviewing my homework in my life, do you think I'm wronged? Hehe. ”
Lu Weidong said with a strange smile, Xu Xingkong was stunned when he heard this, and waved his hand a little gloomy: "Come on, love what, sleep with you, you and I are willing to take care of you." ”
"That's, I didn't let you take care of it, if it weren't for you pinching my money, we would just be a tenant relationship under one roof."
Xu Xingkong pursed his lips and no longer paid attention to Lu Weidong, who was messing around, went into the kitchen and poured himself a glass of water and drank it dry, looking at Lu Weidong's back, Xu Xingkong sighed silently, of course he understood that Lu Weidong's appearance like a hedgehog was precisely because of the extreme uneasiness in his heart, he provoked Xu Xingkong so much just to test Xu Xingkong's attitude, he was actually afraid in his heart, afraid of being abandoned again.
Xu Xingkong slowly walked to the sofa and sat down, looking at the lights outside the balcony, and the doorbell rang.
"Miss Lin? Looking for me? ”
"Well, it's convenient, let's go downstairs."
Xu Xingkong looked at Lin Xiaofeng, who was dressed in a police uniform, and nodded in astonishment, in fact, he also wanted to have a good talk with Lin Xiaofeng, if he continued to be so confused, maybe more things would happen that he would regret for the rest of his life, Xu Xingkong hoped to do his best to clarify his future and the relationship with Yushan Yuzhai.
The two walked side by side, like a young couple walking downstairs.
"Miss Lin is looking for me?"
"That's right." Lin Xiaofeng's eyes were as ethereal as ever, and his tone was equally indifferent: "Now that Lu Qianqian is gone, Lu Weidong's role has also changed." ”
Xu Xingkong's expression sank when he heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he asked with a slight sarcasm: "Oh, does that mean that Lu Weidong is useless to you, you can leave it alone?" ”
"That's how utilitarian we are in your mind?"
Lin Xiaofeng's tone was a little dissatisfied, and Xu Xingkong also felt that he seemed to be a little emotional, maybe because he had drunk, he made an excuse for himself.
"So what exactly are you trying to say?"
The corners of Lin Xiaofeng's mouth showed a smile that made Xu Xingkong hate deeply, and he still said lightly:
"What we mean is that if you don't want to, then you don't have to take care of Lu Weidong now, we can arrange a boarding school, and you can rest assured that we will continue to do the loan help and protection that should have been given to him."
"Me? Why? ”
"Maybe your mind has changed? I'm just asking you as usual, originally Xie Zhiqiang could ask about this, but I know that he doesn't have a good relationship with you, if he asks, maybe you will turn your face directly with him. ”
Xu Xingkong felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, after all, it was not a pleasant thing to be completely seen through.
"And what do you think I'll choose?"
Lin Xiaofeng replied almost without thinking: "I don't know, that's why I asked you." ”
Xu Xingkong was very uncomfortable with one breath, but it was purely self-inflicted, who can blame him?
"Okay, I'm not as philistine as you think, I promised Lu Qianqian, she can be unkind, but I can't be unjust, I will continue to take care of Lu Weidong until he can stand on his own."
Lin Xiaofeng glanced at Xu Xingkong seriously, nodded and said, "Your choice is right, cultivators are most afraid of not being strong-willed." ”
Xu Xingkong looked at Lin Xiaofeng differently, and only after making sure that she was not saying the opposite, did he ask suspiciously, "Why?" Does it matter? ”
"Very important, it can be said that it is the most essential thing, the practitioner pays the most attention to sincerity and determination, sincerity and determination can persevere, perseverance can clear the mind, clear mind can see the self, specific expression xiàn in behavior, the practitioner pays the most attention to words must be believed, deeds must be fruitful, those who waver and are not firm in their mind, are destined to have no good results."
"Won't it end well?"
"It's just a demon or a practice waste."
Xu Xingkong thought for a while, nodded happily, and said, "It turns out that there is such a thing, thank you." ”
"Thank me, these things are discussed in both Buddhism and Taoism and Confucian classics, and they are all placed in the most important position, even if I don't say it, you will understand sooner or later."
Xu Xingkong shook his head when he heard this: "I still want to thank you, if you don't say that I don't know, you said that I don't take detours, then I should be thanked." ”
Lin Xiaofeng paused for a moment and didn't speak, Xu Xingkong seemed to see a flash of a smile in her ethereal eyes.
The two walked a few more steps, and just walked to the edge of a small pavilion, Xu Xingkong stretched out his hand to signal, and the two entered this small pavilion near the water and sat down opposite each other.
Looking at the pointed lotus leaves that had just emerged on the surface of the small lake, and the reflection of the fine lights scattered on the water, Xu Xingkong blinked his eyes and asked tentatively:
"Miss Lin, when will I be able to systematically learn the cultivation system of Yushan Yuzhai?"
Lin Xiaofeng glanced at Xu Xingkong lightly and said, "I don't know, this matter is not for me to decide." ”
"Then can you please help me ask Lord Yang Zhai?"
"Yes."
Lin Xiaofeng readily agreed, but Xu Xingkong couldn't continue the topic, opened his mouth, Xu Xingkong smiled bitterly and shook his head lightly and said:
"Miss Lin, can we talk openly and honestly?"
Lin Xiaofeng raised his eyebrows slightly, nodded and said, "Don't you think what I said is not honest enough?" ”
"That's not what I said, I always feel that Lord Yang Zhai doesn't seem to want me to come into contact with the cultivation knowledge of the system, is this just because I can't be trusted, or is there some other reason, don't you say that you don't know about this?"
Lin Xiaofeng's eyes were a little flustered for a moment, but she immediately regained her composure, pursed her lips and said:
"I really don't know, maybe what you said is just your delusion, Master naturally has his own thoughts and reasoning, or let's look at it from another angle, do you think my Master will harm you? And why did he harm you? ”
"This can only be known by asking Lord Yang Zhai, or, can you help me ask?"
Xu Xingkong said with a somewhat ruffian smile, Lin Xiaofeng gently tugged at the corners of his mouth and said:
"Of course I can help you ask, but will you believe me if I ask? Maybe you already have a prejudice in your heart, in my opinion, you should think about the two questions I just asked, and maybe you will know the purpose of my master's doing. ”
Xu Xingkong's eyes rolled and said, "So you actually found out?" So can you tell me the truth, it's not the first situation like mine, right? What did you do in the past? ”
Lin Xiaofeng shook his head and said, "You are really the first, I have never seen a halfway monk like you before, you should know how difficult it is to cultivate a qualified demon hunter." ”
Xu Xingkong was stunned, and after a while, he smiled and said, "So, I'm still a special deposit." ”
Lin Xiaofeng nodded unabashedly.
Xu Xingkong couldn't help but feel proud when he saw this, and after being happy for a while, he realized that this topic couldn't go on anymore, and he didn't know if Lin Xiaofeng did it on purpose, is this what she called honesty? It's so cunning!
Xu Xingkong glanced at Lin Xiaofeng and said stubbornly:
"You've never seen anything like it, so have you heard of it? I think the world is so big, there are so many people, and the history is so long, there is always a similar or similar situation, and if you are so evasive and ignore him, I am afraid that I am really a little suspicious. ”
The corners of Lin Xiaofeng's mouth hooked slightly, and his ethereal eyes looked at Xu Xingkong, and Xu Xingkong looked at her without showing weakness.
A pair of old men who walked by arm-in-arm looked at each other with a smile, and slowly walked away, and the voice of the old woman was faintly heard in the night breeze.
"It's good to be young"
