Chapter 111: Metamorphosis
"Xiaoqing, you have to remember that we are orphans, but we are not clowns! We don't have to beg in this way, others can bend down and bow to reality, but we can't! Our dignity is more precious than ordinary people, Xiaoqing, understand? ”
Xiao Qing looked at Ye Huan with tears in her eyes and nodded as if she didn't understand.
Seeing that everyone in the audience was nothing, Ye Huan squatted down and told Xiaoqing earnestly.
When he stood up, Ye Huan suddenly felt very tired and exhausted.
The charity party was originally a good intention, but there was such a result, it was really unexpected to him, if he wanted to sacrifice dignity to achieve the purpose of fundraising, he would rather not hold this party, he didn't like the old dean and Xiaoqing to be visited like animals, and hated others to look at them like liars.
When he was poor, for the sake of dignity, Ye Huan had already suffered a lot and suffered a lot, he had been gritting his teeth and persevering, he would rather die than bend over, now that he has money, why should he bow his head?
His eyes swept to the audience, and in the crowd, Yang Su's eyes moved with him, flickering.
Mao Quan stood beside Yang Su with his head down, as if he had nothing to do with him, with a meaningless expression.
Ye Huan gritted his teeth, suddenly rushed off the stage, and rushed to Mao Quan in a few steps, as if everyone had no time to react, Ye Huan suddenly made a move.
Syllable!
The slap was loud.
Mao Quan covered his face, his eyes were wide open, and there were five blood-red finger marks on his face.
"You...... You dare to hit someone......"
Ye Huan ignored him, as if he was an inconspicuous brute, and while slapping him, his eyes were fixed on Yang Su.
There was deathly silence in the hall.
Mao Quan had the heart to fight back, but when he saw Ye Huan, whose face was blue and his eyes were fierce, he wanted to move several times, and finally showed his timidity.
He knew that if he fought back, there was a good chance that this guy would kill him.
Long...... Yang Su suddenly looked at Ye Huan and smiled, smiling gently and elegantly.
"Ye Shao played well! This kind of scum in the upper class society should have been cleaned up a long time ago, tonight's guests are all benevolent and righteous people with love and kindness, saboteurs with evil intentions are not welcome here, Mao Quan, do you still have the face to stay here? Don't get out of here! ”
Mao Quan looked at Yang Su with anger in his eyes.
"Yang Shao, it wasn't you who let ......"
Yang Su said indifferently as if he didn't know him: "Mao Quan, aren't you going to leave yet, waiting for the security guards to throw you out?" ”
Mao Quan was stunned, and saw that Yang Su's eyes were cold and cold.
Mao Quan trembled slightly, glanced at Ye Huan hatefully, turned his head and left.
Ye Huan stared at Yang Su, silent.
Yang Su smiled a little uncomfortably and said, "Ye Shaohao is dry, affectionate and righteous, I admire it very much." ”
Ye Huan stared at him for a long time, and finally smiled: "Yang Shao is scheming and strategic, I also admire him." ”
The two laughed at each other, but there was no smile in their eyes.
Yang Su looked around the hall and said with a smile: "I am really fortunate to see such a touching scene tonight, but unfortunately I am not a rich man, there is only one civil servant who receives a national salary in my family, and I am not as big as Tenglong Group to let me squander it, so let's do it, I personally donate 100,000 yuan to the Happy Fund, talk about my heart, it is a brick and jade for tonight's charity party, and I hope that all good people will spare money and give a love to the orphans." ”
With the first son of Jiangnan Province taking the lead, someone soon took out the checkbook he carried and wrote it down.
Cheques full of numbers were dropped into the donation box at the front desk in the lobby.
The charity auction that followed went smoothly and the charity gala soon came to an end.
Yang Su straightened his clothes and said goodbye to Zhou Rong and Ye Huan with a smile.
Glancing at Ye Huan intentionally or unintentionally, Yang Su smiled and said to Zhou Rong: "I haven't seen Aunt Zhou for a few years, you are still so young, my father asked me to say hello to Premier Shen on his behalf." ”
Zhou Rong said with a smile: "Xiao Yang has a heart, he must come to the capital to play for a few days when he is free, and the Shen family welcomes you as a guest." ”
Yang Su nodded: "If I go to the capital, I will definitely visit and listen to Premier Shen's teachings......"
Turning his head to look at Ye Huan, Yang Su's eyes were full of sincerity: "Ye Shao, I regret tonight's incident, please don't take it to heart, I think we can become friends, some worldly things should not be an obstacle to our friendship, are you right?" ”
Ye Huan nodded and smiled: "Yes, we can become friends, so I want to be cheeky and open up to Yang Shao again, is Yang Shao willing to let go of the more than ten acres of land around the welfare home?" I'm willing to pay four or five times the price. ”
Yang Su looked a little hesitant.
He is weighing the gains and losses, the prestige of the Shen family makes him jealous, he is weighing whether there is a need to offend the Shen family because of this matter, his power comes from his father, if it causes his father and the Shen family to have a mustard, is it worth it?
Thinking about it again, Yang Su sighed gloomily.
The interests involved in the golf course are too great, hundreds of millions of funds have been smashed in it, if you stop it, it is not only the money that will be lost, but the reputation of his Yang Gongzi in this circle, the reputation has fallen to the ground, and it will be difficult to pick it up again.
Yang Su has no way to retreat.
With a deep sigh, Yang Su said: "Ye Shao, I really don't want to save your face, but this land, Xingchen Company will not let go, and there are too many people's interests involved......
Ye Huan knew that from this moment on, the contradiction between him and Yang Su could not be resolved.
Yang Su said goodbye and left, and walked to the door of the banquet hall, Ye Huan suddenly said loudly: "Yang Shao, I Ye Huan is going to decide on that piece of land!" ”
Yang Su was stunned and walked out as if he hadn't heard of it.
sent a driver to send the old dean and Xiaoqing back to the welfare home, and Zhou Rong pulled Ye Huan into her Rolls-Royce RV.
The mother and son were silent for a while, and Zhou Rong sighed: "Ye Huan, you should learn something." ”
Ye Huan said: "Why?" ”
Zhou Rong looked at Ye Huan's eyes full of love: "Child, have you ever wondered why you have been so rough all these years?" Even after you have a prominent family background, you can't stop something sad from happening? Including tonight. ”
Ye Huan shook his head, he had been thinking about this question for twenty years, but he had never found an answer.
"Children, we live in this world, we must learn some survival skills, this skill is not necessarily the knowledge in books, but it must be used in life, just like you used to touch porcelain in order to survive, petty theft, blackmail, etc., life forced you to take this step, you have to learn, and now it is the same, the difference is that life forces you to learn some other survival skills, so that you can use your wisdom to achieve the purpose of everything you do, and you can be like a fish in water in this circle, Live peacefully and peacefully into old age, and have the ability to protect the people and things you want to protect. ”
Ye Huan realized: "What should I learn?" ”
Zhou Rong smiled faintly: "You have to learn a lot, such as the skills of dealing with people, how to use wisdom to defeat the enemy, how to gain an advantage in the competition for interests, and even some ancient art of war you have to learn, some things can be passed down for thousands of years, there must be its truth, master these, you have the ability to protect the people around you from harm, instead of simply and rudely slapping people, this will not solve any problems at all, Ye Huan, do you think I am right?" ”
Ye Huan thought about it and nodded.
After tonight's events, he gradually gained a sense of life, or rather, some understanding of this strange upper circle, in which there is one of the most important weapons, and that is the smile.
Smile at friends, smile at enemies, smile at anyone you know or don't know, no matter how bad you are in a mood, you have to laugh all the time.
This is the rule of the game, Ye Huan doesn't like the rules of the game, but he is not strong enough to change the rules of the game, he can only adapt to it.
The second is means and wisdom.
How to win over friends, how to deal with enemies, how to compete for interests in a smile, smile in the open, and fight in secret, all of these require means and wisdom.
Ye Huan gradually understood that survival does not stop in the market.
The market has a way of survival, and the powerful also have a way of survival, the same is survival, but the competition in the circle of the powerful is more cruel and bloody than the market.
Zhou Rong looked at Ye Huan's contemplative face and said with pity: "Ye Huan, I really can't bear to destroy your purity, parents want their children to be kind and responsible, but after all, I can't protect you for a lifetime, there are many ugliness in this world that you need to face, if you don't learn some useful survival skills, how can you protect yourself in the future, how can you protect the people around you?" You have two good brothers, Monkey and Zhang San, a gentle and beautiful girlfriend like Qiao Mu, and the old director and younger brothers and sisters of the welfare home, you see, you have so much and are very rich, but ...... In the eyes of the powerful, they are all weak, and the life and death of the weak are in the hands of the strong, understand? If you can't learn to survive in this circle, what will you be able to protect them in the future? ”
"I saw everything in my eyes tonight, Yang Su only used one look, Mao Quan came out and disrupted the party, forcing the old dean to stand up and defend, forcing Xiaoqing to suffer a lot of grievances, and you were also forced to lose an inch, and fight, Ye Huan, you are a smart child, if you learn the skills to deal with this kind of change, tonight's matter can actually be resolved invisibly, so that they will not be harmed......"
Every word of Zhou Rong's words was deeply imprinted in Ye Huan's heart.
Ye Huan's expression gradually had a kind of epiphany.
He doesn't like this circle, he really doesn't like it, he doesn't feel the slightest kindness and warmth in the circle, it is better to sit in the old house and chat with the monkeys and them, and from time to time there are a few dirty ruffian sentences in the words, but their hearts are very clean and comfortable.
But life is not something that can be avoided if you don't like it.
Ye Huan is no longer Ye Huan, fate has given him a noble identity, because of this identity, his life will never return to the original peace, and it is impossible to escape.
If you have the ability to deal with some changes, have sufficient experience and experience, and have a certain network base in the circle, is it possible for tonight's incident to happen?
Zhou Rong's words spoke to his heart: "The life and death of the weak are in the hands of the strong, if you can't learn to survive in this circle, what ability can you protect them in the future?" ”
yes, what do you use to protect the people closest to you? When the power is poor, and the money is exhausted, if one day the parents lose these, what else can Ye Huan use to bear these responsibilities?
In the silent carriage, Ye Huan suddenly nodded slowly, looked at Zhou Rong's eyes, and said, "Mom, I know, I will learn." ”
Zhou Rong smiled, with tears in her eyes.
Ye Huan found that she was not a mother who blindly spoiled her children, Zhou Rong had Zhou Rong's wisdom and insight, and the love she gave her children not only spoiled, but also contained wisdom and reason that ordinary mothers did not have.
patted the bodyguard in the passenger seat in front of him, and Zhou Rong ordered the convoy to stop.
Zhou Rong pulled Ye Huan's hand to get out of the car, and supported the driver of the Mercedes-Benz behind, she let Ye Huan sit in the driver's seat, carefully fastened his seat belt, and then opened the co-pilot's door, and she also sat in.
"Kid, the first lesson I taught you today was driving, you know? Driving is also like a life experience, you have to grasp the steering wheel, when to turn, when to turn around, clearly know which direction you should go, don't lose yourself on the road, accelerate when the road conditions are good, slow down when the road conditions are bad, and most importantly, when you encounter some disadvantages or dangers in your life, you should learn to step on the brakes in time at what juncture......
Looking at Ye Huan's face that seemed to be enlightened, Zhou Rong's eyes were full of motherly love.
"Child, I've been thinking all these years that one day I can teach you all the things I will, I'm afraid that you will fall in your later life, afraid that you will take a detour, afraid that you will be bullied by others, so I must teach you the ability to run, and at the same time teach you the ability to protect yourself. What you have to learn, only your father and I can teach you without reservation. ”
Ye Huan nodded vigorously.
Zhou Rong smiled gently: "Now, you can step on the clutch, press the red button under the steering wheel, and set off." ”
Ye Huan hesitated: "...... Don't you wear seatbelts? ”
Zhou Rong shook her head, her smile was firm, and she was full of encouragement.
"I believe that my son will not let me down, will not let me get hurt, Ye Huan, I believe in you."
Ye Huan pressed the button for the ignition of the car in silence, and the black Mercedes-Benz let out a low muffled snort.
At this moment, Ye Huan felt that his mentality had gradually transformed, like a chrysalis turning into a butterfly.
Zhou Rong's eyes moistened, her wish for many years had been realized, and she personally supported her swaying toddler son and staggered on the road.
