Chen Mo hurriedly followed, grabbed Kang Xuedong's arm, and propped his body up. "Uncle Kang, I'll send you home."

Kang Xuedong looked back at Chen Mo, smiled and said, "Although your Uncle Kang has drunk a lot, he is not drunk, he just feels it today." Liang Hao should also come back at this time, with him sending me back, you don't have to worry. ”

There was still a large group of people upstairs, and Chen Mo didn't insist. Helping Kang Xuedong's body downstairs, he said as he walked: "Uncle Kang, although Roujia is gone, I am still your son." A hundred years later, I will provide for you in old age and wear filial piety. ”

Kang Xuedong smiled and patted his hands, "You kid, your Uncle Kang is only fifty years old now, and the days to come are still long, why do you curse Uncle Kang to die now?!" ”

"I ...... I'm not...... This means ......" Chen Mo also felt that there was something wrong with what he said, but he also drank a lot, and there was really no good wording to ease the atmosphere at this moment.

Kang Xuedong knew him very well, turned around and comforted him and said, "You just have to work hard, and we'll talk about it later." In the past 20 years of relationship between our grandfather, even if you become Li Boqing's son-in-law, your uncle is only happy for you. ”

He took out his mobile phone and dialed Liang Hao's number, and Liang Hao quickly drove the car to the gate of the club. Chen Mo helped Kang Xuedong get into the car, and explained a few words to Liang Hao before seeing them leave.

Before turning around and walking upstairs, Cao Zhongmou and Luo Chaoying sent Chen Yizhou downstairs, and a Toyota Overlord seven-seater business car stopped at the gate. However, Yu Ting and Li Shan, mother and daughter, did not come down, but watched them at the staircase on the second floor.

Cao Zhongmou confessed and said: "Xiao Mo, I will ask people to send your grandfather and them back, and you will send your father-in-law back later." ”

Chen Mo nodded, and sent Chen Yizhou and them to the car, with the second uncle and their family to take care of, they had nothing to worry about. Everyone greeted them again, and after sending them away, Cao Zhongmou said: "Xiao Mo, come and sit for a while, and we will have a chat." ”

Luo Chaoying looked at Cao Zhongmou, then at Chen Mo, and saw that Cao Zhongmou did not invite him to sit down, so he pursed his lips and took the pineapple from Wu Liping's hand. "Let's go up first, Cao Yi, you go and urge the waiter, when can you deliver the eggs steamed with pineapple!"

The hall of this clubhouse, because it is aimed at high-end customers, so whether it is the material or the atmosphere, are very well done, dozens of circles of sofa division in the hall of more than 2,000 square meters, each of which is separated by evergreen trees and art sculptures, etc., to create a private environment.

Cao Zhongmou took Chen Mo and sat down in a small booth, asked for two glasses of boiled water, and sent the waiter away. "Xiao Mo, I remember that you were born in 76, right?! I'm 23 years old. ”

"It's my birthday in April and I'm 24 now."

Cao Zhongmou nodded and smiled: "Yes, I also participated in your birthday in the spring, you see my memory......" Cao Zhongmou laughed. "You're an adult now, so how about let's have a conversation between men?!"

Chen Mo nodded and said, "With you elders, I will always be a student. However, it was also an honor for me to have an in-depth dialogue with Uncle Cao. ”

Although Cao Zhongmou is a businessman and a little short and fat, he has a profound cultural literacy that ordinary cultural people do not have. Compared with him, although Kang Xuedong looks more like a professor, he has always been in officialdom, and he is a dog in the shopping mall, at least in this regard, Chen Mo knows that his Uncle Kang is not as good as him.

When talking to outsiders, Cao Zhongmou has always been straightforward, and only in front of his own people does he like to quote scriptures. He has studied the essence of traditional culture, such as the Book of Poetry, the Spring and Autumn Period, and the Tao Te Ching. Even Chen Yizhou sighed to himself in this regard, and often praised him, if he lived in ancient times and didn't dare to say the champion, at least he would take the Jinshi exam.

Chen Mo went from a rebellious young man who hated him, and finally was subtly transformed by him into an admirer of him, which was completely conquered by his personality charm.

Cao Zhongmou said with a smile: "Your mother is often worried that your paranoid personality will add many setbacks to your life path, to be honest, this is also something I am a little worried about. According to your character, it is definitely not a wise choice for you to enter a large state-owned enterprise like CNPC. But now that you have chosen this path, I can only remind you from my experience. ”

Chen Mo asked in surprise: "I don't know which path is suitable for me, Uncle Cao, how do you judge me?!" ”

"Character determines destiny." Cao Zhongmou lit a cigarette, and then said: "A person, since he was a child, began to receive all kinds of education. Some of these educations are correct and some are wrong, and together with the different living circumstances and the different positions of the individual, these factors can affect the different ways in which a person faces society. And these ways will directly affect his position and development potential in this society. ”

He handed Chen Mo a cigarette, Chen Mo waved his hand, and he handed the cigarette to Chen Mo's hand. "You see, this is a temptation I have made to you, and the result is that you are not qualified. Whether it's as an elder, or a senior, or someone who is more successful than you are now, your first reaction to the cigarette I hand you should not be to refuse, even if you don't smoke, you should catch it, and then look at my reaction, consider whether to light it or put it aside. Because direct rejection is definitely not the best way to cope. ”

Chen Mo said with some embarrassment: "If it were someone else, I might face it seriously, but Uncle Cao, I didn't think about it so much. ”

Cao Zhongmou nodded and said: "A person's knowledge accumulation represents a person's comprehensive competitiveness, but this ability is horizontal, not creative, or in other words, has no development potential. Because these only represent a person's basic ability, this ability belongs to a positioning standard that is objectively determined. ”

Chen Mo interjected and said, "Uncle Cao, can you make it clear, I haven't understood what you mean. ”

"In ancient times, why did officials have to have the qualifications of Jinshi? Whether it's a company or a company now, why do you ask for a college diploma for recruitment?! Because only when you have this qualification can you have the basis for competition. But whether it is ancient or now, there are many people, although they have a wealth of knowledge, but they have nothing in the officialdom or in the workplace?! My company recruits more than 300 college students every year, but in the end, only about 30% of them stay. In fact, they have enough knowledge to cope with the company's requirements, but they can't stay, why do you say that?! ”

Chen Mo nodded and said: "I understand, no matter how much knowledge you have, it's only the foundation, it's more about how you use your advantages and give full play to your potential." ”

Cao Zhongmou nodded and said: "The factors that really determine a person's fate are more based on his character. I often tell Cao Yi that it doesn't matter how high a person's IQ is, the key is to see whether his EQ is enough. Many people who only went to elementary school, and even illiterate, have become bosses, but many college students and engineers can only give him a job, from this point of view, you can also know that the key to really determine a person's fate is always in your own hands, mainly to see if you will use it. ”

He took a sip of the water cup and continued: "For you juniors, I am most optimistic about you, although you also have a lot of shortcomings, but your shortcomings are not fatal, as long as you can always be vigilant and grasp yourself, your future life path will definitely be much wider than Cao Yi and Cao Yu." ”

Chen Mo said with some embarrassment: "I have always admired Brother Cao Yi, he became an associate professor at a young age, and I can't compare to him." ”

"You're all under my nose, don't I know you yet?! Cao Yi is very smart, from childhood to adulthood, he didn't let me fuck too much. But he has one of the biggest shortcomings, which is pretentiousness. In this society, there are too many capable people, and no one can say that they are better than others. With such a character, he is really not a business material, otherwise, if others put him in the air and sell him, he is afraid that he is still counting money for others. So I also followed his wishes and asked him to continue to do his research on campus, as for whether he can take over my industry in the future, it depends on the follow-up development. And you, Sister Cao Yu, are also too jumpy, unqualified, and persistent, plus she is a girl, I don't dare to expect too much from her. ”

"Isn't there still Cao Qi!"

Cao Zhongmou shook his head and laughed, "He is far worse than his brothers and sisters, I only hope to be able to pull him back on the right path now, these years, for the sake of business, I have indeed neglected him a little." None of these three children are really my eye, and in this sense, I am a successful businessman, but definitely not a good father. ”

Chen Mo, as a junior, is not easy to accept this sentence. Cao Zhongmou didn't expect him to answer, and continued: "And you, I have always been very concerned, you are emotional, talented, persevering, kind-hearted, and more importantly, you are often able to establish your own prestige among your peers, which is very important and what I appreciate the most." If you want to be a successful person, you can't succeed on your own alone. You can only really succeed if you organize your own team, build your own alliance, and have the help of many people! ”
