"I feel like I'm in a mess."

Qin Hai hugged his head and said. That is, in front of Ning Zhongying, he can show this kind of fragile and helpless appearance, and on other occasions, even if he has no bottom in his heart, he will pretend to be confident.

"Smoke one?" Ning Zhongying handed the cigarette case to Qin Hai.

Without waiting for Qin Hai to refuse, Song Yulan had already poked her head out of the kitchen and scolded in disgust: "You old thing, you don't learn well, and you teach Xiao Qin to smoke." He and Xiaojing don't have children yet, let him smoke at this time, do you still want a healthy grandson! ”

"Uh......" Qin Hai was embarrassed, he has never smoked, which has nothing to do with "closing mountains and cultivating forests" in order to have children. However, Song Yulan's words gave him an excuse to refuse, he smiled and waved his hand to Ning Zhongying, and said, "Dad, I just can't figure it out for a while, I don't need this." ”

Ning Zhongying handed Qin Hai a cigarette, which was just a habitual action. When he discussed complicated matters with his old buddies, he always held a cigarette between his hands, and it seemed that no such thing would affect his thinking. He also knew that Qin Hai didn't smoke, and occasionally used this to educate Ning Mo. Seeing Qin Hai waving his hand, he took back the cigarette case, and then said, "Tell me, what's wrong with your heart?" Do you feel that the group has suffered a loss, or do you feel that you have been wronged? ”

Along the way from Hongze to Pingyuan, Qin Hai thought about a lot of questions, but he didn't expect Ning Zhongying to directly reduce the problem to a binary choice. He was stunned for a moment, then hesitated and said, "It should be...... It's a bit of both, right? ”

"When you wanted to build a materials college, you discussed it with me. You have said a lot about the benefits of the School of Building Materials to our group, but I can hear that this is just an excuse, and your real idea is not to want these talents to be lost. Is that so? Ning Zhongying asked.

Qin Hai thought for a while, nodded and said, "I really can't remember it, listening to your reminder like this, it seems that this is really the case." ”

Later, these introduced experts made a lot of patents, which really created a lot of benefits for the group. The existence of the Institute of Materials has also become the core competitiveness of the group, so you begin to regard the School of Materials as your own private property, for fear that others will share the benefits, isn't it? Ning Zhongying asked again.

Qin Hai smiled awkwardly: "Dad...... You don't always hit the nail on the head like this, okay? ”

I have to say that Ning Zhongying is more like an outsider than Qin Hai. And with his more than 60 years of life experience, he sees the problem far more profoundly than Qin Hai. Qin Hai himself didn't think clearly, or didn't want to admit it. As soon as Ning Zhongying said it, it was revealed. Comparing Qin Hai's original intention of establishing the School of Materials with today's attitude towards the School of Materials, Qin Hai himself couldn't help but blush a little.

"Xiao Qin, I want to ask you, what is the purpose of your engagement with this Daqin Group?" Ning Zhongying changed his serious face and asked Qin Hai.

"Purpose...... Qin Hai muttered, "At first." Mainly to earn some money and improve their lives; Further back. I hope to be a big entrepreneur and be able to do something I want to do. As for now...... If I say it's for the prosperity of the country, will you believe it? ”

When he said the last sentence, Qin Hai showed a somewhat self-deprecating look. He really wanted to say to Ning Zhongying that he really thought so, and he didn't say it in a high-pitched voice. But would Ning Zhongying believe this kind of words? In a society where everyone is "looking at money", will it be hypocritical to claim that what you do is for the prosperity of the country?

Contrary to Qin Hai's expectations, Ning Zhongying nodded very firmly and said, "Of course I believe it." I may not believe others saying this kind of thing, but you Qin Hai said this, why don't I believe it? ”

"But...... Why would you believe it? Qin Hai was surprised.

Ning Zhongying said: "You Qin Hai is very smart and flexible, you are a good hand at material scientific research, and you also have a lot of ghost ideas in the market, and there are some places that make me, an old man, sigh to myself." You are fighting with Japanese companies, and you are calculating what Wang Peichao is, and you are engaged in some conspiracies. In this sense, you are not the kind of person we usually call an upright person. ”

"Old man, are you criticizing me or praising me?" Qin Hai muttered depressedly.

"It's neither criticism nor praise, it's just an objective evaluation of you." Ning Zhongying said domineeringly, "However, there is one thing that I am most satisfied with you, that is, you Xiao Qin is not a selfish person, you have compassion and patriotism, you will always have friends and colleagues around you in your heart, as well as your family and country, which is much stronger than many people." ”

"This ...... Actually, it's nothing. Qin Hai was pretending to be humble. Ning Zhongying's eyes were like torches, and his evaluation of him was very good, and Qin Hai naturally would not deny it hypocritically. Being able to leave such an impression in Ning Zhongying's mind also made Qin Hai feel a little complacent, and finally knew why the old man would marry his daughter to him, it turned out that he was such a tall person.

Ning Zhongying ignored Qin Hai's words, and he continued:

"In our time, everyone talked about patriotism and dedication, some people were really patriotic and really wanted to contribute, and some people just followed the crowd, followed the trend, and even disguised themselves as patriotic. Up to now, there is not much emphasis on dedication in society, and many of those who keep saying that they are patriotic and dedicated want to engage in political speculation, and what they say is completely inconsistent with what they do.

Only you, Qin Hai, don't usually talk about these big words, but what you do is enough to be patriotic and dedicated. The most commendable thing is that when you do all these things, you don't do them deliberately, but out of your own heart.

In order to get everyone to accept your approach, you often have to put a layer of disguise on what you do for the country, lying that it is for the group, for yourself. People are afraid that others will not know that they have done good deeds, and you have to cover up if you have done good deeds, which shows that your heart is above board, which is much more valuable than a person who is upright on the surface. ”

"Thank you dad for your understanding." Qin Hai suddenly felt that his throat and eyes were a little astringent, Ning Zhongying was an old man he respected very much, and being able to get such a high evaluation from Ning Zhongying, Qin Hai felt that everything he had done in the past ten years since he came to this world was worth it.

Over the years, Qin Hai has helped the military make money, develop cutting-edge technology, protect rare earth resources, build materials colleges, eliminate pollution, and do things that many other private capitalists cannot do. He explained to others that the purpose of doing this is for the long-term interests of the group, to find a protective umbrella for himself, and to be able to pursue a win-win situation, but he himself understands in his heart that the most critical reason is that he has a desire to serve the country and society. As a person with memories of two lives, he didn't want to let his life be too dull.

Ning Zhongying has a deep understanding of what Qin Hai has done, and as an entrepreneur of the older generation, he also has a sense of family and country. Seeing that his younger generation can inherit his mantle and do these good things for the country and the people, Ning Zhongying feels very relieved. Previously, he didn't disclose this to Qin Hai, because he felt that these things didn't need to be expressed in words, and everyone could just tacitly do it. This time, Qin Hai was confused because of the flow of personnel in the School of Materials, and Ning Zhongying felt that it was time to talk to Qin Hai about his ideals and life.

"Qin Hai, the money you earn now is enough for you to live comfortably for ten or a hundred lifetimes. Your parents, me and Tranquility's mother, as well as Xiao Mo, Xiao Shan, and Xiao Ling, they all live very wealthy, and this is also the money you earn. At this point, what else do you need to make money for? If a person earns money just for himself, then what's the use of earning so much money? Ning Zhongying said.

Qin Hai nodded and said, "Yes, I think so too." When a person has no worries about food and clothing, making more money is just a number. Only by using this wealth to repay the society is it valuable. ”

"In that case, why are you angry?" Ning Zhongying smiled and led the topic back to the original starting point.

"It's me who is in the picture." Qin Hai patted his head embarrassedly, yes, since he built the School of Materials with the mentality of protecting talents from the very beginning, and now that the social environment is good, these talents hope to be able to return to their posts to play a role, why is there any need for him to stop it?

Although the conditions provided by the School of Materials are very good, they are still lacking compared with the scientific research environment that can be provided by national key universities and key research institutions. If those academic masters can return to the podium of key universities, how can the students they cultivate be comparable to those of the School of Materials? If experts in various fields can participate in national key projects, their value can be reflected in the creation of a few patents in the School of Materials?

When I heard that a scholar like Yan Shuncheng intended to leave, I had a sense of loss and frustration, in the final analysis, I forgot my own heart and regarded the School of Materials and all these experts and scholars as my private property. Daqin Group is already so huge, and its net worth has exceeded 10 billion, are you still not satisfied?

"Some people are doing a good job in the School of Materials, and if you drive them away, they may not leave. There are also some people whose hearts have already moved, and even if you can force them to stay, it will not do them any good, but will ruin the reputation they have accumulated. In my opinion, we are simply generous and come and go freely. I believe that most people have a conscience, and even if they leave the School of Materials, their hearts will remain here. Let them play their role in various fields, and in the end, it will be of great help to our group. Ning Zhong said to Qin Hai earnestly. (To be continued......)
