Chapter 11 Director Jiang, a good man
"Do you have any plans for the future?" Jiang Ting looked at Xu Tao and said seriously.
"Hmm...... After graduating from high school and getting a job, at least my sister will have a better life. Xu Tao thought for a while and replied.
"Have you ever wondered if the power in your body goes wild one day, will it hurt your sister?"
Xu Tao was stunned and shook his head.
"It's not like you haven't thought about it, you're deliberately ignoring it." Jiang Ting said lightly, "Because of the 'selfishness' in your heart." ”
"You haven't thought about it, and you haven't told your sister about your abnormality, are you worried about losing her?"
Jiang Ting's words pierced Xu Tao's heart like a sharp knife, Xu Tao's body was shocked, and he hung his head weakly.
"Sooner or later, your sister will find out about your abnormalities, and when that time comes, do you think you can still live with her normally?"
"Besides, can you guarantee that you will not be controlled by that kind of power in the future, and you will not be urged by addiction to attack your sister?!"
Jiang Ting stretched out two arms to press Xu Tao's shoulders, and found that the young man's body was trembling.
"Look up and look at me." Jiang Ting and Xu Tao looked at each other, "I can save you!" ”
"I can suppress the power in your body!"
"I can let you live with your sister in a normal state!"
"Help...... Help me. The boy put his head in his hands and said weakly.
"The Pre-Qin Research Institute is your only way out."
Jiang Ting spoke, his expression serious and calm.
"Let me introduce myself, my name is Jiang Ting, the acting director of the Pre-Qin Research Institute, and I belong to the special department of Kyushu." Jiang Ting straightened his waist and looked at Xu Tao.
"You want me to join you?" Xu Tao understood what Jiang Ting meant, and a look of hesitation appeared in his eyes.
"This is your only chance."
"If you join us, the Xianqin Research Institute will give you a monthly subsidy of 10,000 Kyushu yuan, I can provide for your sister to study until she graduates from college, and the Xianqin Research Institute can even transfer your sister to a key junior high school - after all, the teaching quality of the seventh middle school is still not good enough."
Jiang Ting made conditions, and without waiting for Xu Tao to reply, he added:
"Of course, you could die."
After a long time, Xu Tao's body stopped trembling, he looked up at Jiang Ting, took a deep breath and said, "I'll join!" ”
Jiang Ting nodded with satisfaction.
"Well, when I die, will there be a pension?"
"Yes, and the terms I offer will not change."
Xu Tao smiled, and a touch of relief appeared on his face.
"It's not too early, let's fill out the registration form first." The two A4 papers were taken out by Jiang Ting and handed to Wen Xi and Xu Tao respectively, he glanced at the time, and it was already half past five in the morning.
"I'll send you back, it's Monday, and there's still class." Jiang Ting put away the registration form and said to Xu Tao.
"Go back and have a good rest, it's been a busy night." Jiang Ting looked at Wen Xi, who was already tired, obviously a little tired.
"I'll go with you, there's still class this morning, my dad's." Wen Xi yawned and shrugged helplessly.
……
"You're trying to help him, aren't you?" After sending Xu Tao home, Wen Xi asked.
"What's wrong?"
"You're not acting the same way you were that day, you're not like that tough person." Wen Xi thought about it and expressed the doubts in his heart.
"He's thinking about it too much." Jiang Ting explained, "To be precise, his sister 'bolted' him. ”
"How can I say it...... Jiang Ting pondered for a moment and said, "This guy is a ...... Dead sister control, his life almost revolves around his sister, if I don't force him, he will definitely choose to refuse to join the Pre-Qin Research Institute. ”
"I'm not an orphan, but I know that he must have lived a 'down-to-earth' life if he had grown up to now, and if it weren't for what happened in the church, he would have continued to live according to the original trajectory."
"According to the original life, is there anything wrong with being ordinary?" Wen Xi frowned, not understanding Jiang Ting's intentions.
Jiang Ting didn't answer her question directly: "I checked his grades, the third middle school is a relatively average high school, Xu Tao entered the third middle school during the high school entrance examination, and from the information we have, his grades have not been very good." ”
"There may be many reasons for this, such as insufficient educational resources, such as working to support the family, and insufficient study time, but his unsatisfactory grades are a real problem."
"Grades can only represent part of the story, and there are many ways to go besides studying." Wen Xi felt that Jiang Ting's words were a bit ridiculous, a contemporary college student, he still had this kind of "meritocracy" idea, just like his father.
"Are all students of archaeology so rigid?" Wen Xi muttered quietly.
"It's not a question of grades." Jiang Ting patiently explained, "The problem lies in the 'heart'. ”
"Twenty years ago, Li Huaien, the prime minister of the empire, wrote to the Holy Lord, promoting the establishment of the imperial relief system, and minor citizens living in towns and cities could receive imperial relief if they met the conditions.
Xu Tao is only fifteen years old this year, he receives a relief fund, and it doesn't cost much to eat in the high school cafeteria, plus he usually works part-time, which is enough to maintain the normal life of his brother and sister. ”
"Xu Tao's strength is that he is very kind, he is very content, but his disadvantage is that he is too content." Jiang Ting's brows furrowed, "With a sister and a house, and his parents are dead, his life is more difficult than ordinary people, but it is not as hard as you think." ”
"So?" Wen Xi raised his eyebrows and asked.
"So he doesn't have the 'momentum'." Jiang Ting slowly spit out a sentence, "Or no ambition." ”
"He is not capable enough, he only knows how to be content with the status quo, but he doesn't even have the pursuit of upwards." Jiang Ting analyzed, "In addition to improving himself through learning, if you let him do a business, he will be eliminated because he can't adapt to the competition." ”
Wen Xi nodded slightly, she admitted that Jiang Ting was right about this.
"So." Jiang Ting continued to analyze, "What kind of person do you think he will become in the future?" ”
Wen Xi stayed by Jiang Ting's side and quietly listened to Jiang Ting's story.
With Xu Tao's current grades, it is difficult to find a job that can support the whole family based on his academic qualifications...... Of course, these are not problems, but the problem is that he is too content with the status quo, down-to-earth but unwilling to do it, as long as he is satisfied with food and clothing. Speaking of this, Jiang Ting sighed.
"Although his parents left a property, it is only more than 40 square meters in total, and according to the geographical location there, he will not be able to eat the demolition money in this life."
Jiang Ting shook his head, "According to the information given by the Tianshu Management Office, due to some problems back then, this property did not even have a real estate certificate, and it was difficult to even apply for a mortgage. ”
"His parents are gone, there is no way to support him financially, and he has to wait until his sister finds a job, gets married, and the financial pressure is too great for him to afford the house."
"According to this trajectory, Xu Tao may die lonely in the future, or he may find someone he doesn't love to make do with life, and he has never been truly happy until he dies."
Wen Xi's expression was complicated, as a college student with a good family background, she had never thought of so many things, and she didn't know that some people would have such a life trajectory.
"There may be some reality." Jiang Ting smiled bitterly, "But it's true, if I don't pull Xu Tao along, he may be like this in his life." ”
"A person who is willing to be mediocre and content with the status quo, Reiki recovery can't save him, if I don't force Xu Tao, he will still continue to choose comfort in the world of Reiki revival."
Jiang Ting was categorical and firm.
"I guess I'm right, you're really a nice guy." Wen Xi looked at Jiang Ting, and at this moment she really understood the man in front of her.
"Actually, I think I'm quite a 'virgin'." Jiang Ting smiled and continued to walk forward.
……
"By the way, Director, is it true that you told Xu Tao that our Pre-Qin Research Institute might be in danger of life?"
"It's true."
"But if that day ever happens...... I'll stand in the way of all of you. ”
