Chapter 358: Revisiting the Past (Part II)
- "Roman, you agree that success can be done at any cost, right? I asked, staring at him.
- "Lina, you are indeed a smart girl, and it is the right thing to do to talk to you. It seems to get to the heart of what I want to talk about, and you're asking a good question. It's good that it's not a problem in a lot of people's minds. The answer is yes! In real life, we seem to encounter more of this kind of person. I think even if they are a little skeptical about this issue in theory, when they encounter specific things, they will still sacrifice others for the sake of success when they are confronted with specific things. Needless to say, I just do it all the time. β
- "There's nothing wrong with people craving success, right?" I said
- "Of course, the choice of means for success is indeed debatable! Roman looked at me meaningfully and said.
- "Huh...... I really didn't expect you to have doubts about this today. I smiled and took a sip of my coffee. I remember a few years ago at Roman's house. When he asked me to betray Sergei, he was talking about a completely different philosophy of life!
- "Linna, I'm not surprised by your reaction. To be honest, if this had been a few years ago, I wouldn't have believed I could have thought about it! At that time, I had no doubts about my own outlook on life, and even felt that it was someone else's value. Roman said
- "So you've changed today?" I asked
- "Yes! I'm starting to question this idea, but not today. To be honest, you killed me at the time, I just thought you were a naΓ―ve little girl who still had illusions about society and human nature. Your notions only prove your naivety, and as time changes, you will regret your decision.
What really surprised me was Seryosha's approach!
That day, when he saw me, he went straight to the point and asked me to accept his resignation and let Andrei go! I was caught off guard by his sudden suggestion, and I didn't even think about his motive for doing so. I thought it was a pie-in-the-sky deal, so I immediately agreed. β
- "To be honest, I didn't expect Sergei to do this either! I said
- "Linna, you know what? At first, I thought that if Sergei wanted to please Linna, he would just be pretending!
Even if Andrei is repatriated, there is really no loss to him, perhaps, from a certain point of view, it may not be a good thing for him! Isn't his play a bit too much?
This Lina is also really evil! Could it be that even the clever Seryosha would be confused about meeting Linna? Later, I understood that Seryosha really wanted to rescue Andrei! He even did whatever it took to get it. β
- "Why did he do this?" I asked
- "Hmm! I asked him this question as well. Later, I talked to Seryosha about this, and I didn't expect Seryosha's motives to be so simple at that time: he said that Lina was his subordinate, a girl with a very good character! The grievances between me and him should not have brought you involved, and you and Andrei should not have suffered such a fate innocently. Asking loyal subordinates to pay for their careers is something that Seryosha's conscience does not allow. Roman looked at me and said.
- "I see! It seems that none of us know Sergey, he is much more noble than I thought! I said, with a lot of respect for Sergei in my heart!
- "Linna, although I used to admire Seryosha, but this time he really convinced me! Later, I began to reflect on the difference between myself and Seryosha, and suddenly had an epiphany, Seryosha's prestige in the circle of friends is really not only due to his talent, of course, not because he is more handsome than me, hehe...... It may be more because of his personality charm, which gives Seryosha a very powerful aura, which is beyond Daniel's reach. Roman said.
- "That's true, Andrei said that Sergei is a man with a lot of aura, and I didn't really understand what he said. I also think that people like Sergei mainly because of his good looks," I said with a smile
- "Seryosha, not only is he noble, he is also really generous! This is something I didn't think of before! Lina, like you, I also feel that I have misjudged the judgment, and Seryosha, who is arrogant in appearance, may not be so kind! But I was wrong again! Seryosha really doesn't seem to care about what I say and do, and his heart makes me feel more and more ashamed! β
- "Sergei said to me that he has always been grateful for your support to him. I said
- "Linna, I know a lot of powerful people in this world, but I feel like I can be friends with Seryosha again! It's the greatest joy of my life!
I actually always have a wish, I hope you can also forgive me like Seryosha, Linna, you can say whatever you need, I really want to do something for you and Andrei to make up for my previous mistakes! Roman said with a sincere look at me.
- "Thank you, Roman, for telling me this today, you don't even know how happy I am!" I was worried that Sergey would get into a fight with you because of my business, and I've always been upset about it! I'm really happy with the results so far. Actually, you really don't have to do anything for me anymore, you don't owe me anything. Don't care what I say to you! I said happily to Roman.
- "Linna, you can curse?" I didn't expect that! Roman said with a smile
- "Daniel called me that day and asked me how I was thinking about my work?" In a fit of rage, I scolded you at him! He may have been afraid that you would be angry, so he didn't dare to tell you! I said
- "Oh! That's right. At the time, Daniel only said, "Lina doesn't know why she has a big temper! She doesn't consider your suggestion at all" hehe...... I really don't know what you're calling me! What are you scolding me for, Linna? Roman asked with a smile.
- "Oh! Well, this one! β¦β¦ Hey! You don't know the best, let's forget about it! I laughed.
