After hearing Xiang Dongfang say that each other is a kind of person, Cao Zhiqiang rarely touched his nose.

Only people who are very familiar with him know that this small action of touching his nose shows that Cao Zhiqiang is a little embarrassed.

Because Cao Zhiqiang knows very well that if what Xiang Dongfang just said is true, then the other party is a real prodigy, and he is a fake prodigy.

At the very least, Xiang Dongfang's English and Japanese were learned by themselves, and they learned them under such conditions.

Cao Zhiqiang's English is fine, but the Japanese language is purely based on system cheating.

Although the results are all the same, one relies on real skills, and the other relies on hanging, and the essence is still different.

Don't say anything else, let's talk about ideas, Cao Zhiqiang's ideas are all ordinary people's ideas, and Xiang Dongfang, obviously she not only thinks differently from ordinary people, but also thinks differently from ordinary people.

If you want to change Cao Zhiqiang, he has been a prodigy since he was a child, he can't wait to pretend to be superior all day long, how can he be like Xiang Dongfang, deliberately hiding his clumsy show and deliberately ignoring everyone?

There is also Xiang Dongfang's high-ranking official father, if Cao Zhiqiang is replaced, he will definitely be a fox and a tiger, and it is impossible to be the same as Xiang Dongfang, but he feels uncomfortable with such a father, and he doesn't even like others to treat her well.

Because according to Xiang Dongfang, although her father married her a stepmother, whether it was her father, her stepmother, or even her half-siblings, they were very good to her, but there was nothing to be sorry for her, and she had always cared for her.

But living in such a loving family, Xiang Dongfang felt very uncomfortable and disgusted, so he wanted to escape from that family and stay away.

It's like, the better I treat you, the more you hate me, this can be the character of a normal person?

However, on the surface, Xiang Dongfang didn't see the problem at all.

If it weren't for Hao Shuwen finding out Xiang Dongfang's heels, Xiang Dongfang was deceived by himself again today, telling these secrets, Cao Zhiqiang always thought that Xiang Dongfang was a strong woman who was greedy and vain, and could do anything to climb up.

But now it seems that this is not the case at all, at least not when it comes to vanity.

Because what Cao Zhiqiang can give Xiang Dongfang at present is definitely not as much as what Xiang Dongfang's father gave.

But Xiang Dongfang just scolded himself like those ordinary citizens, just to be able to stay by himself, instead of straightening his waist and telling her father to ask her father to help her arrange a job to stay.

That's right, although Xiang Dongfang's father, Minister Xiang, was an official in the south, he had a wide range of connections, and there were many high-ranking old comrades-in-arms in the capital.

After all, a person of Minister Xiang's level has connections that are difficult for ordinary people to imagine.

Even Hao Shuwen said that the combined energy of her father and her father-in-law was not as powerful as that of Xiang Dongfang's father.

Because Xiang Dongfang's father is a powerful local official, it is different from Hao Shuwen's father, a senior officer who has taken a back seat.

So as long as Xiang Dongfang makes a phone call to her father, her father only needs to make a phone call with a friend and arrange for Xiang Dongfang to stay in the capital, which is easy, and even because of Xiang Dongfang's education, ability and background, she can be arranged into an important position, and she will be prosperous from then on.

But Xiang Dongfang didn't take this shortcut to the south at all, he had to stay through his own efforts and through his relationship with Cao Zhiqiang.

Cao Zhiqiang didn't believe it, Xiang Dongfang knew his identity as a traverser.

In this case, there is only one explanation, she is about right, she really doesn't want to have anything to do with her family.

"You've figured it out." Cao Zhiqiang suddenly asked Xiang Dongfang again very seriously, "If you talk to me, it is equivalent to starting from scratch, and there is not much extra help at all."

But if you go through your father's relationship, you don't want to stay in school as a teacher, maybe it is possible to directly enter the department as a cadre, are you really willing to give up your father's relationship and energy, and rely solely on your own strength to start from scratch? ”

"Of course I do." Xiang Dongfang nodded, "Otherwise, when I entered school, I would have publicized everywhere who my father was, why should I keep being incognito, and when others asked, they would only say that I was an ordinary worker's child."

Even, if I was willing to reveal my father's true identity to the school, the school would have arranged for me to be regularized a long time ago, and I didn't need my father to come forward at all. ”

"That's just as well." Cao Zhiqiang nodded, "But I'm still wondering, why don't you have such a strong background but don't use it?" Proper use of family background is also something that a smart person should do, right? ”

Xiang Dongfang suddenly raised his head and looked at Cao Zhiqiang fixedly, and then said with a blank face: "Since you and I are the same kind of people, you should be able to know the reason why I do this, so why bother asking more." ”

"Me?" Cao Zhiqiang was stunned for a moment, and then frowned decisively.

Immediately afterwards, Cao Zhiqiang shook his head: "I'm sorry, maybe we are all different from ordinary people, but people are different from each other, I may not be able to understand your thoughts, so I'm afraid I don't know why you do this." ”

"No!" Xiang Dongfang continued to look at Cao Zhiqiang fixedly, "You know, you must know, but you don't say it!" Because you're still wary of me! ”

Cao Zhiqiang frowned: "What nonsense are you talking about?" ”

Xiang Dongfang showed a weird smile, and then suddenly said with a straight face: "Okay, since you don't want to say it, then I'll ask you too!"

Since you are a child prodigy yourself, you have been talented and different from ordinary people since you were a child, and you have long discovered that you are different from ordinary people.

Then why did you always behave stubbornly, always behave unmotivated, and wait until your parents died one after another, and life drove you to a dead end, before you were willing to expose your talent?

Don't tell me that you had an epiphany after your mother died, and others will believe this kind of nonsense, but I will never believe it.

The talents you are showing now must have been there for you a long time ago, not all of a sudden.

The attitude towards life may be epiphany, and it can also be epiphany about something, but it is impossible to have an epiphany with a huge accumulation of knowledge.

If you have an epiphany in mathematics, physics and chemistry and solve some super problems, I won't say anything.

But you can write such good poems, and you can also be proficient in English and Japanese, which requires a huge accumulation of knowledge, even if you are talented and unforgettable, it is not something that can be achieved overnight, let alone an epiphany.

Not to mention anything else, the poems you wrote are rich in connotation, and you can definitely write them after reading a lot of books, and it is impossible to have such a huge amount of knowledge two or three months after an epiphany.

And your English and Japanese have definitely worked on it secretly, at least one or two years of effort, and it is impossible to secretly learn it for two or three months after an epiphany to reach this level.

But I've heard that your mother died, and you began the so-called epiphany, and it has been less than four months, during which time you have to go to work, write poems for publication, and open a publishing house.

Prodigies also have to talk about science, and if you don't have enough time and precipitation, how can you have the performance you have today?

So you must have accumulated these accumulations in the morning, those poems in the morning, and English and Japanese in the morning!

It's not right that you would do it in the morning and never tell anyone, and that people never knew you would do this.

Therefore, you must be like me, you found out that you are different early, and then hide it in your own way early, so that no one can see that you are different, and you will not let people know that you are a prodigy.

It's just that I'm lucky, my family has always been very good, and I have never needed to survive by exposing myself, and I can continue to pretend to be an ordinary person.

And you are different, your family conditions are not as good as mine, and life has driven you to a dead end, you can only expose your talent and use your talent to rise.

During this time, you have behaved very carefully, which is not like the average peer of your age.

Maybe the epiphany is true, but your epiphany is to make you tear off the disguise of ordinary people and stop pretending to be ordinary people at all.

So here's the question, it's strange for you to ask me why I have such a strong background but don't use it, but what about you?

Why didn't you show your talents and abilities earlier when your parents were still alive?

If you show your talent early and explode early, your father will not be able to say, but your mother will not leave so early! ”

Seeing that Cao Zhiqiang was calm and didn't speak, Xiang Dongfang smiled slightly, and continued with a look of me already seeing through you:

"I come from a high-ranking family, I am a child prodigy, but it is just the icing on the cake, more praise; I'm not a child prodigy, it's just a little less praise, and life doesn't get worse because of it.

But you are different, you come from an ordinary working family, if you can show your talent early, you can live a better life, so why did you hide it before?

So there is only one answer, because you think that hiding clumsily and being obscure can make your life better and easier! ”

Listening to Xiang Dongfang's words, Cao Zhiqiang was speechless for a while.

What can he say?

Could it be that Cao Zhiqiang was really a second-class young man before, and it was really because of his lack of ability that he didn't seek advancement.

The later big outbreak, just because he was reborn after death, changed to a new soul, and updated a new set of operating systems internally, and it was a new operating system with plug-ins?

Finding that Cao Zhiqiang was still frowning and not speaking, Xiang Dongfang smiled again: "It seems that I was right." ”

After sighing, Xiang Dongfang said again: "Now many people envy and praise prodigies, but they don't know the distress of people like us.

When I was very young, I often had a headache because of the stupidity of the people around me, and I was also bored by the stupid people who did not see that I hated them, but instead envied me and envied me, and excused me in all kinds of ways.

I used to deliberately find fault and deliberately break the discipline of the church, but I didn't get the punishment I deserved, only more praise for it, saying that it was a maverick, that this is what a genius should be.

Originally, if it was just like this, I put up with it.

The people around you are stupid, but you just don't associate with them.

But later, I overheard the teacher telling my parents that a prodigy like me would be better sent to a juvenile class.

I secretly inquired about the situation of the junior class, and only then did I find out that something was wrong.

What kind of juvenile class, it sounds good, isn't that a prison and a cage?

From then on, I began to observe the stupid people, or ordinary people, who I looked down upon.

Only then did I realize that ordinary people's lives were better.

On the contrary, people who do not fit in may not have a good life in the future.

So at the beginning, in order not to go to the juvenile class, I began to pretend to be mediocre, and little by little I pretended to be mediocre, showing a state of hurt Zhongyong who was exhausted by Jiang Lang's talents.

Sure enough, they found out that I was no longer special, no longer a genius, and had a completely different attitude towards me.

Slowly, I began to realize that it was actually good to pretend to be an ordinary person and live among ordinary people.

Although the life of ordinary people is peaceful, at least there is no need to worry, there are not so many burdens and responsibilities, and there is no need to have too many worries.

I pretend to be an ordinary person, I can easily cope with all kinds of homework, and the extra time can do what I want.

But if I am considered a child prodigy and sent to some junior class, I will definitely not be able to be like ordinary people, and I will inevitably be forced to learn something that I should not learn at my age early, and I will take on responsibilities that ordinary people do not need to bear as soon as possible.

If it were anyone else, I would have been happy to dedicate myself to the country, but I hated it for a long time.

Why must people live for themselves if they have to serve the country, the people, and the collective?

So I hid it, I pretended to be an ordinary person, but I just wanted to escape some responsibilities that I shouldn't have shouldered, and I wanted to live more comfortably.

As for whether I hate my family, it's also because I don't want to be kidnapped by that family and give everything for that family in the future.

Ordinary people may envy me for having a father who is a high-ranking official, but I know that power and duty are equal.

The more I get in that family, the more I will have to pay back in the future.

If I get a good job with my father's strength, what will I pay back in the future?

It must be to repay my marriage, to marry the man my father favored or appointed, and to have a political marriage that is in line with the family.

Moreover, because I am my father's daughter, once I take what he gave me, I will not be able to resist it when he arranges my life in the future.

Because if I resist at that time, he will think that it is for my good, and my so-called rebellion and thoughts will definitely be regarded as young and ignorant, and he will think that he is rebellious and wrong.

Parents often think that they are experienced and think that they have the best arrangements for their children, but they never care what their children really think.

Especially like my father, who has always been a big official, usually in a high position, he is used to being arrogant, and he is also a man of his own words at home, and he never cares what his children think.

My brother is a fool who only knows how to be obedient, and my sister is a little clever, but she probably doesn't dare to rebel against her father.

In other words, if I don't think of a way sooner, then I, the eldest sister, will inevitably become the first victim of the family.

What's more, you should have seen Dream of Red Mansions, right? No morning sun lasts a whole day.

My father is now in a position of great power, but who can guarantee that he will be the same in the future?

I don't want to be a victim of my family, I want to live the life I choose, that's why I choose to hide and stay away, and never expose my relationship with my father unless I have to, and I don't even associate with them.

If you say that your family background is different from mine, you must have had a similar experience with me, and you must not want to be a special person in the limelight, and then bear some special responsibilities that you are not willing to bear.

You must be like me, you want to secretly hide until you grow up, and then go out alone, rely on your own ability, and live the life you want to live.

It's just that your fate is a little worse, your mother's death, plus you have to support your sister, so you have to expose your talent.

But what's the matter, once your talent is exposed, it really attracts the covetousness of others.

I think, you, the president of the publishing house, I'm afraid you didn't want to do it yourself, but you were driven to the shelves and forced you to be it, right?

If it weren't for the factory leader who insisted on letting you be, how could you be the president of the publishing house if you were a nineteen-year-old young man?

Others only see your infinite scenery, but I see your sorrow and helplessness.

This kind of day when you are forced to stand in the front after exposing your talent, forced to carry a burden that you don't want to bear, and have to carry the weight for others, you must not have a good time, right? ”

Speaking of this, Xiang Dongfang looked at Cao Zhiqiang's silent expression, suddenly sighed, and reached out to touch Cao Zhiqiang's head.

"I know, I know!"

"Others envy the talent of people like us and call us geniuses."

"But they don't know that the title of genius itself is our shackles."

"The stronger our ability is, the more different we are, the more people look at our ability, and the more people want to take advantage of us."

"It's like Maxima, the Maxima who was discovered by Bole is the worst Maxima, because he has to be given more expectations, he has to be forced to exert more abilities, and in the end he has to become a tool of others, and he has been running to death!"

"Everyone else hurts Zhongyong, but I think he's a really smart person."

"Only those who understand are clumsy, and those who understand are unknown, can they get true happiness, leave their spare strength, and truly grasp their own lives."

"Only I can see the bitterness in your heart, and only I can know the helplessness in your heart."

"It's better to get together."

"Otherwise, you'll feel lonely."

"That's why I gave up my pretense and came to you, just to walk with you."
