Chapter 23: Wake up

"A person's success is not in hard work, but in choice. If you choose the wrong one, you will achieve nothing in your life. If you choose the right one, you will not be far from success. After glancing at his son, Chen's father continued to educate hard: "Look at the grassroots employees in the company, don't they work hard? Aren't they diligent? Working 9 to 5 every day, I get nothing more than a salary that barely supports myself. Looking at the bosses of those companies and enterprises outside, and those government officials, because they know how to choose, they can easily live a life of fine clothes and food. ”

Father Chen picked up the ginseng tea on the table and took a sip, moistened his throat and continued: "Uncle Liu Huang in the Three Kingdoms said a very famous saying, 'Women are like clothes', and when you climb to the top of your career in the future, you will become the store that others look up to, what kind of woman can't find rich and famous?" What's the point of changing fresh 'clothes' every day? Why give up a good future for a woman? ”

Chen Yufeng glanced at his father deeply and lowered his head and was silent again, he was very shocked in his heart, he couldn't imagine that his father, who had always respected his mother like a guest and had a deep affection, would say something like "women can change every day like clothes", which really subverted the glorious image of his father in his mind, and taught him to be difficult to accept for a while.

"Do you think Dad is hypocritical? Dirty thoughts? "How old is Father Chen's vision? At a glance, I saw through what my son was thinking.

Chen Yufeng didn't answer, and he didn't know how to answer.

"This society is very realistic and cruel, everyone wears at least one mask to survive, especially in the shopping mall, we must always be vigilant not to show a little bit of our true self in front of people, otherwise we don't know how to die. It's been a long time, and sometimes I don't even remember what my real self looks like, but so what? As long as we pretend to be polite gentlemen in front of ordinary people, they will envy you and worship you, who cares what kind of person you are behind you? ”

After that, Chen's father left the desk and walked to Chen Yufeng to stand three feet away, looked at his son, and said with a stern face: "You are my son, you will be 18 years old on your birthday this year, and you are an adult." I'm going to teach you right now to recognize the nature of this society and to keep your head up. ”

Hearing his father's stern tone telling him to raise his head, Chen Yufeng involuntarily straightened up and raised his head, but his face still did not have the calm temperament and charming brilliance of his previous steady and calm manner, and some were just confused.

"Smack!" Chen's father slapped his son's handsome face hard, and a big red handprint immediately appeared, which showed that Chen's father had no mercy on his hand at all.

"Porphyry!" Chen Yufeng spit out a mouthful of bloody saliva, looking at his father with a blank look, he had never been beaten and scolded by his parents since he was a child, he was stunned by this slap, and he didn't understand why his father wanted to beat himself so well.

"Feeling aggrieved?" Chen's father looked at his son with a condescending attitude, and said coldly: "There is more uncomfortable than grievances is grievances, and what is more uncomfortable than grievances is that there are grievances that cannot be redressed." ”

The confused look on Chen Yufeng's face slowly retreated, and he seemed to have begun to comprehend the meaning of his father's words.

Seeing this, Father Chen nodded and said, "Okay, I've finally enlightened, I, Chen Zhiyuan, didn't raise your son in vain." ”

After a pause, Chen's father admonished: "You must always remember that this world follows the natural law of the law of the jungle and the strong, what is the equality of everyone, peaceful coexistence, harmony and beauty, those are all beautiful words that fool people, when have you ever seen the rich and the poor eating on the same stage?" When have you ever seen a high-ranking official living with a civilian? The essence of our society is a society in which one person eats people, if you want not to be wronged, if you want not to be eaten, you can only be stronger than others, standing at the top of the food chain, then others will only be afraid of you and flatter you. ”

Listening to it, Chen Yufeng's eyes gradually narrowed into a slit, but when he suddenly opened it in the back, the two fine lights in his eyes flashed and disappeared, like a meteor that pierced the night.

Seeing that his son had regained his former glory, Chen Zhiyuan's face, which had been flat, also showed a smile, and his voice was much softer: "Do you know why Dad named you Yufeng?" That's when Dad wants you to stand on top of this world and laugh at the world, and Dad will be proud of you. ”

Chen Yufeng's body was shocked when he heard this, he didn't expect his father's expectations of him to be so great, his heart suddenly warmed up, and his eyes when he looked at his father became hot.

At this time, Chen Zhiyuan had already sat back on the chair in front of the desk, looking a little tired, as if what he had just said to his son had consumed a lot of his energy, only to see him wave his hand and say: "I have said everything that should be said, you go back and think about it yourself, what kind of life you want to live in the future, and come to see me again after thinking about it." ”

Chen Yufeng glanced at his father deeply, silently withdrew from the study, and walked towards his room.
