Chapter 263: The Meaning of Reading

, the fastest update of the latest chapter of the Talisman Bodyguard!

Shen Lei's words choked the student's laughter.

"Why do you think I'm wrong?" The student blushed and asked unconvinced.

"The outside world is indeed wonderful, but it is also cruel, if you don't have money, you can't go anywhere, let alone freedom." Shen Lei said lightly.

"I've got money!" The student emphasized.

"Where did you get the money?" Shen Lei glanced at him and asked.

"Me, I have money in my family!" The student said loudly.

"Do you earn the money for your family?" Shen Lei asked again.

"Although I didn't earn it, it was my parents' money, isn't it my money?" The student asked rhetorically.

"You're wrong, your parents' money isn't your money." Shen Lei reminded.

"What nonsense are you talking about?" The student spread his hands as if he was amused, "Come and listen, this guy actually said that my parents' money is not my money." ”

"Haha!"

"Of course, my parents' money is for their children."

"What is this guy talking about?"

The onlookers laughed and laughed, disagreeing with Shen Lei's remarks.

Sure that the position of the classmates was on his side, the student's self-confidence was regained, and he sneered at Shen Lei: "If my parents' money is not given to me in the future, will it still be given to others?" Could it be that my dad has found a lover outside, and will give his money to his illegitimate child? ”

"It seems that you were indeed born into a rich family." Shen Lei smiled.

"It's okay, I have a little assets, I don't have to worry about food and clothing, I didn't know what poverty was since I was a child." The student's face was full of pride.

"That's why people like you want to study even more." Shen Lei got back to the point.

"You, what else can you do besides reading?" The student laughed.

Shen Lei ignored his ridicule, shook his head and said, "You just said that your family is very rich and you don't need to work to live well, right?" ”

"That's right." The student nodded.

"You're going to get married, aren't you?" Shen Lei said.

"Of course, I've found a girlfriend in school now, I'm not afraid of your jealousy when I say it, it's the class flower of my class, although I'm not as beautiful as your sister, but I'm already very satisfied." The student laughed.

The students looked at them with envy.

"The reason why I stayed in school was to cope with my parents on the one hand, and my girlfriend on the other hand." The student's face was full of affection.

"You're planning to drop out of school after the college entrance exam, what about your girlfriend? Is she going to drop out of school with you, or will she continue her studies? Shen Lei asked again.

"I'm a scumbag, it doesn't matter if I read or not." The students spread their hands

After a pause, the student's face showed a solemn expression: "But my girlfriend is different, she is not only the class flower, but also the vice president of the class and the literary and art committee, and her grades in all subjects, even the whole school is among the best!" She is a top student, and the head teacher said that she has the best hope of being admitted to a prestigious university in the class. In order not to interfere with her studies, I haven't bothered her recently. ”

It was only when he said this that his innate self-confidence had diminished a lot, and his eyes flashed with an imperceptible gloom.

"So, your girlfriend will be admitted to a prestigious university, and you, plan to drop out of high school, right?" Shen Lei asked with a smile.

"I'm not good at reading, and I have money in my family, so if I don't read, I won't read, which doesn't affect me much!" The student said confidently.

"On the contrary, if you really drop out of school according to the original plan, the impact on your future life will be too great." Shen Lei said seriously.

"Huh?" The student was stunned.

"Do you like your girlfriend very much?" Shen Lei asked suddenly.

"Of course, she is really a very good girl, and I have made up my mind to spend the rest of my life with her, and as soon as she graduates from college, I plan to get a marriage certificate with her." The boy talks about his vision for the future.

"You're good." Shen Lei applauded, and then sighed: "But to be honest, with a development like you, I am not optimistic about your relationship." ”

"Dude, what do you mean? Curse me? The students were immediately upset.

"I didn't mean that." Shen Lei shook his head.

"Then you should tell me, why don't you look at the Fa optimistically?" The student said with a stiff neck.

"Classmate, what do you think is the essence of love when two people are together?" Shen Lei did not answer positively, but instead raised a new question.

"Uh, this, this." The classmate was silent in thought, and it was really difficult for him to talk about the nature of love at his age.

"It's about making progress together and benefiting each other." Shen Lei gave an answer.

The student jerked his head up, his eyes wide open, as if he had suddenly grasped something.

"Classmate, you have a good appearance, you are tall, and you are handsome."

"I see you're wearing a pair of Nike Jordan sneakers, which shows that you usually like to play basketball and are good at it."

"The fingers of your right hand are calloused, and with your family conditions, it can't be caused by labor, so there's a good chance you'll still play the guitar."

Shen Lei held his chin and groaned: "Considering that your girlfriend is a member of the literary and artistic committee of the class, if I am not mistaken, in order to catch up with your girlfriend, you must have put a lot of thought into music." ”

"Being handsome, being able to play basketball, playing the guitar, having money in the family, and being generous in his shots, these are indeed all pluses, and it is easy to gain the favor of girls." Shen Lei nodded.

The student was already stunned, how could this guy in front of him know everything, relying on details to deduce what a person has experienced, is he the great detective Sherlock Holmes?

"If you stay in high school, these conditions are enough, but people will eventually grow up and run to a new stage of life, which is inevitable."

"You and your girlfriend are really affectionate at this stage, but when your girlfriend goes to college, especially a prestigious university, meets a better man than you, learns richer and more profound knowledge, and sees a broader world, and you, only go to high school, the cultural ceiling is here, your girlfriend chats with you, she talks about college knowledge and future life development, and you are only immersed in the happiness of high school in the past, self-touched, and what else do you talk about playing basketball and playing guitar, who will pay attention to you? It's just a hobby, can it make money? There is no common topic between two people at all, and when the time comes, what will you do? ”

"Speaking of which, you might think, I don't understand the relationship between you and your girlfriend. OK, count me underestimating you guys, okay, your girlfriend is not attracted to the more wonderful and expansive world outside, but unswervingly chooses to stay by your side, this is a good girl, worthy of admiration. But a new problem has arisen. ”

"When you get married, you can't live with your parents, right? That buying a house is a must. Now the housing prices in Jiangcheng are not cheap, and any house in the urban area starts at 20,000 square meters. The two of you live after marriage, considering that your parents and relatives on both sides are likely to come to live in the future, you must buy a big house, at least 120 square meters to start, right? According to the house price of 20,000, a total of 2.4 million. Although it can share the pressure of the mortgage, it is also a lot of money. After the renovation of the house, the furniture, and the ...... of buying a car"

"You said you were going to drop out of school and go to the outside world to be chic, anyway, the family has money."

"According to your point of view, aren't the really rich and noble families, their children and descendants, all people who can not study?"

"If you go and inquire, how many high-ranking officials, powerful people, and people with profound backgrounds will send the brightest and most promising children of the family abroad to receive a better education."

Speaking of this, Shen Lei paused slightly.

He thought about his own experience.

Yes, when he went abroad, the Shen family planned to focus on cultivating him.

It's just that what happened later deviated from the original intention of the Shen family, and Shen Lei became what he is now.

If he could, Shen Lei would like to be simple, just be an ordinary international student, and then return to his motherland to contribute to his family.

Taking a deep breath, Shen Lei looked at the student again.

"I'm thinking that your family is a little rich at best, and the money to buy a house, your parents can really scrape together it, and it shouldn't be a problem to buy you a car that will land hundreds of thousands, right?" Shen Lei said with a smile.

"Yes, yes." The student gritted his teeth, a little lacking in confidence.

Shen Lei sighed: "You have to have children in the future and support your family." If you think about it, if you think about it carefully, if you don't study, even if you join the job, the salary you get will be more than 10,000 at most. But if you study and find a good job, 10,000 is just the beginning. What is a gap, this is a gap. The peers around you eat and talk about business and go out of high-end places, while you are swallowing pickled steamed buns in the factory canteen; People follow the company and go abroad for team building trips, and you can only stay alone in the dormitory and smoke stuffy cigarettes; Other people's company benefits, a year-end bonus more than your annual salary in the factory, and you, the boss at the end of the year to give you a red envelope of a few hundred yuan, you have to look grateful. Think about it, think about it again, will you be willing to live like this? ”

"Of course, you can ask your parents for money and gnaw on the old family, but what about your ambition as a son of man? What about the dignity of being a human being? ”

"You took away your parents' pension money, what will they do in the future? As a son of man, when they get old, you can't ignore them, right? But who can you manage with your pitiful salary? Fathers and mothers, wives, and children waiting to be fed. In order to feed your family, you can only keep downgrading consumption, you can only buy a cheap thousand-yuan machine for your mobile phone, you can only smoke a pack of cigarettes for a few dollars, and you don't dare to go to the doctor when you are sick, you are wearing this pair of Nike Jordans now, starting at 1500, right? Cherish it, because you won't want to wear this luxury in the future. ”

"The pressure of life, the pressure of work, when it comes to you, you can't regret it."

And all of the above, as long as you strive to be the upper class of society, it will not happen. As for how to become the upper class of society, the only way is to study hard. Shen Lei said with a smile.

The playground was silent, and the students looked at each other, not knowing how to answer.

"As long as you study hard, you can earn a lot of money and become the upper class of society?" The student asked with heavy breath.

"Nope." Shen Lei shook his head, "I said at the beginning that reading determines the lower limit of life, and opportunities and resources are the key to the upper limit." ”

"Reading well will keep you in front of the crowd. When the opportunity comes, it will be easier for you to seize the opportunity and succeed than those behind you who have not read a book. Shen Lei said.

"I repeat, I'm not looking down on people who go out of society to work without reading much."

"Everyone has their own life experiences, family members can't afford to pay tuition, or like you, they don't like to study, they don't know how to cherish when they are young, and they miss great opportunities."

"This society is full of such people."

"It's nothing, as long as you are willing to work hard, no one will discriminate against them who refused to study back then."

"It's just that we must recognize a reality, if you didn't study hard back then, don't expect miracles, the path of life has been set, and getting rich basically has nothing to do with them."

"After going out of society for many years, if you don't even have this cognition, you are unwilling to forge ahead and want to get rich. When I tell the truth, I poke at their pain points, irritated and angry, shouting and killing, which is really pitiful. ”

Sighing, Shen Lei walked up to the student and patted him on the shoulder.

At this time, the student's face was already pale, and he was completely frightened by Shen Lei's remarks.

"Don't worry, you're still young and you still have a chance. Listen to my advice, start today, and study hard. If you really want to change, if you really want to get along with your girlfriend for a long time, your first step is to get into the same university as your girlfriend, and you can't fall behind others, you know what I mean? Shen Lei whispered in his ear.

The student clenched his fists and nodded tremblingly.

Shen Lei smiled slightly, took the little hand of the wooden civet, and was about to leave.

The student looked at the back of Shen Lei and Mu Li's departure in a daze, and suddenly ran wildly and rushed to the front of Shen Lei.

"Thank you!" He bowed deeply, then strode in the direction of the school building.

"Brother Bo, don't listen to him."

"This bastard is alarmist, Brother Bo, let's keep playing."

"Grass, you believe whatever he says?"

"Abo, you come back for me!"

The classmates were dumbfounded, and hurriedly opened their mouths to stay.

But the student, named Abo, was not moved at all, and when he returned to the classroom, he began to study, and everyone was surprised by his change, and even the head teacher was impressed with him.

A year later, together with his girlfriend, he was admitted to Jiangcheng University as he wished.

Years later, after struggle, he became a nationally renowned engineering expert, and received an invitation from his high school alma mater to come back as an honorary alumnus to share his life insights.

The school set up a high platform on the playground, and he took his wife's hand and stood on the high platform, and under the stage, the admiring eyes of thousands of students were focused on him.

And his gaze stared at a corner of the playground in the distance, as if he could penetrate time and see the scene where the young and frivolous teenager was told the truth of life by a strange big brother outside the school.

"My wife and I are here," he smiled and pointed to his feet, "I met at my high school alma mater, and speaking of which, we should be considered early love." ”

Hahaha!

The students burst into laughter and applause.

His wife gave him a shy, a little embarrassed.

"Along the way, I would like to thank many people who have helped me tremendously in my life. But here tonight, I want to give special thanks to one person who wouldn't be where I am today without him. ”

"Back then, it was there." He pointed to the corner of the playground in the distance, and many people followed his gaze.

He took a deep breath: "He told me a lot about the meaning of reading, which completely changed me when I didn't like to read. ”

Of course, that's all for later.
