Sun Yaoliang snuffed out the cigarette butt that was about to finish in the ashtray and lit another one.

"In the past two years, I have learned a lot and understood a lot. To be honest, I enjoyed this time, even when I was busiest, I felt more fulfillment, because I found my self-worth in it. Sun Yaoliang's eyes looked out through the glass window on the side, as if his thoughts had drifted into the distance.

"I came from the supply and marketing cooperatives in the northwest, and you have been to the countryside in the northwest, so you know what it is like over there. The Great Northwest is very poor, and even if I was born in the city, the conditions are not as good as those in the big cities of Yanjing and Huhai. Back then, I was admitted to university to gamble, let those who looked down on me look at me, and use this way to change my destiny and make my life better in the future. After I went to college, I was exposed to these because of your opportunity, and I made so much money, and my life changed differently than before. Now, the Dashilar side of the trade is about to end, I suddenly feel a sense of loss in my heart, as if something is gone, these days I have been pondering what it is, today I suddenly understand that what I pursue is actually the same as Hairong's, is a life goal, is a goal that can be pursued and struggled. ”

Song Yuanchao sighed in his heart that Sun Yaoliang's conditions were not the best among his classmates, but it was not bad.

When he first met, he heard Sun Yaoliang say that his work ability in the supply and marketing cooperatives was very good, and it stands to reason that he had the opportunity to be promoted, but because of his appearance, he was always suppressed, so he couldn't move for several years.

Seeing that those who are not as capable as themselves, and even those who are not as qualified as themselves in the supply and marketing cooperatives, surpass him one by one, Sun Yao's conscience is very uncomfortable. It is precisely for this reason that Sun Yaoliang went to the university in order to gamble and became a college student at Beijing Normal University.

"Little Qiao, they told me that they were going to Xiangjiang soon, right?" Sun Yaoliang asked suddenly.

Song Yuanchao nodded and said calmly: "Luoyang has some arrangements over there in Xiangjiang, so let them go over to help take care of it, what?" Are you going to go too? ”

"Me? I'll forget it. Sun Yaoliang shook his head and smiled: "Xiao Qiao, they are them, I am me, besides, if Luo Yang can go away, why don't he go by himself?" I'm the same, and I don't have the courage to drop out of school, so I still have to finish this university. ”

"And what do you think?" Song Yuanchao asked.

"I don't know myself, I'm just a little confused, I really want to do something by myself, but I'm very entangled, maybe I'm afraid of failure. Or wait until you graduate? After the allocation, do what you like in your spare time, or live a step-by-step life like everyone else, find an ordinary woman to start a family or something, aid the dynasty, what do you think? ”

Sun Yaoliang's eyes were indeed confused, although he had been helping to take care of Dashilar, but in fact, Sun Yaoliang's role was different from Song Yuanchao and Luoyang, even Xiao Qiao and them were different.

Song Yuanchao looked at the overall situation and began to make a series of preparations early, whether it was when he was in Shanghai or later in Yangcheng and Yanjing, or even now everything in Pengcheng and Xiangjiang, Song Yuanchao made careful arrangements.

As for Luo Yang, although his vision is not as wide as that of Song Yuanchao, Luo Yang has now found his goal, and sending Xiao Qiao and them to Xiangjiang is this purpose.

And Xiao Qiao, after Luo Yang left Dashilar, basically took on the responsibility of actual operation, and they have gradually experienced it in the past six months.

But Sun Yaoliang is different, Sun Yaoliang originally went to help because of Song Yuanchao's introduction, to put it bluntly, he did not directly participate in decision-making, but was only responsible for part of the operation.

To describe it with a simple example, Song Yuanchao and Luo Yang are bosses and investors, Xiao Qiao is a shareholder and general manager, and Sun Yaoliang is at best the identity of a part-time worker and manager of an enterprise, and there is naturally a difference.

Sun Yaoliang is fully qualified as a manager, but he doesn't know if he is suitable to become an entrepreneur, or he is still a little worried about starting his own business in his heart now, because he and Song Yuanchao are different.

After all, Sun Yaoliang worked in a supply and marketing cooperative, and then was admitted to university, and many of the jobs he has done, including the trajectory of his life, have been passive, although he has the ability, but for some objective reasons he has never done anything independently, even if he knows more about business than ordinary people.

In Sun Yao's conscience, it would be good if the business on the Dashilar side could continue forever, so he did it until he graduated and then made a choice. But now there was a sudden change, Xiao Qiao and they were leaving, all of a sudden Sun Yaoliang had nothing to do, he felt empty in his heart, plus Lu Hairong went abroad today, which made Sun Yaoliang think a lot, and he couldn't help but feel a little confused.

"Don't you have any ideas of your own?" Song Yuanchao asked.

"It's not that I don't have ideas, it's just that I ...... It's just that some can't make up their minds. Sun Yaoliang scratched his head and replied embarrassedly, he felt that his words were a bit embarrassing, if it wasn't for Song Yuanchao's face, he would never say it if he changed someone.

"Are you afraid that you won't be able to do it yourself? Looking ahead? Song Yuanchao hit the nail on the head and asked rhetorically.

Sun Yaoliang hesitated and sighed, and nodded silently.

"It's a good thing to be cautious, but too much caution misses out on many opportunities." Song Yuanchao saw that his cigarette was almost finished again, took out the cigarette and handed over another one, and said earnestly: "Have you read the book "How Steel is Made"? ”

"Yes, what's wrong?" Sun Yaoliang was puzzled.

Song Yuanchao said leisurely: "Paul in the book has a sentence that the most precious thing of a person is life. Life is only once for man. Therefore, a person's life should be spent in such a way that when a person looks back on the past, he does not regret that he wasted his time, nor is he ashamed of his inaction; In this way, when he was dying, he was able to say: I have devoted my whole life and all my energies to the most precious cause of my life - the struggle for the liberation of mankind. ”

Song Yuanchao read aloud the most essential passage of the book in a voice containing emotions, and after finishing speaking, he looked at Sun Yaoliang and said earnestly: "We are all laymen, not so noble and great. The goal of fighting for the emancipation of humanity is too great for me to do, and neither can you. But Paul's previous words are true, life is only once for anyone, we are all passers-by of life, in the journey of life always have to leave something, for others, or for ourselves, and on the day we leave, we can tell ourselves that we have come to this world in vain. ”

"Yaoliang, there will always be countless confusions in life, and there are also countless choices. Until the results of the choice are known, no one can know whether the path they have chosen is right or wrong. However, as a person, you must make this or that choice, even if you find out that this path is wrong in the end, you will not regret the result after working hard. ”

"Your confusion now is only because you don't have the courage to make a decision, I hope that no matter what choice you make in the future, but you must know that you must have the courage to go all the way, use your best efforts to complete, to achieve it! Only by doing this, our life is meaningful, life is goalless, not to mention the rest, isn't Hairong like this? ”

"He has now made his choice, a choice that many people do not understand, and even laugh at him, but in my opinion it is nothing funny, he has the courage to go down this path far better than those who laugh at him. Although this road may not be easy to walk, it may be rugged and difficult, but he still set foot on this road, isn't this a kind of courage and faith? ”

Song Yuanchao's words made Sun Yaoliang ponder, the lit cigarette was pinched and burned in his hand, and the faint smoke rose in his hand and slowly dispersed.

After a long time, Sun Yaoliang's gaze gradually became firm, and his face slowly faded from confusion, replaced by a trace of perseverance.

"I understand, aid Korea, thank you, thank you really, I probably know what I should choose."

Song Yuanchao smiled and patted him on the shoulder, with encouragement in his eyes.

"Think about it, think about it, don't make the next decision impulsively, but once you do, do it without hesitation. Even if you try hard and fail in the end, it's nothing, we are still young, and we have enough capital to withstand failure, as long as you remember this, I believe you will definitely break out of your own way. ”

"That's right! Absolutely! A smile appeared on Sun Yaoliang's face, the sadness in his eyebrows had long since dissipated, he laughed heartily, picked up the wine bottle and filled it for the two of them, and then clinked glasses with Song Yuanchao again and drank it clean.

In the evening, Song Yuanchao sent Sun Yaoliang back to the dormitory, and Sun Yaoliang, who had untied the knot, seemed to be in a much better mood, which made Song Yuanchao very happy.

After sending Sun Yaoliang away, Song Yuanchao did not live in the dormitory, but drove back to his home. When he entered the courtyard, Song Yuanchao had just wiped his face, and before he could pour the water in the basin, the phone in the study rang.

Speaking of this call, Song Yuanchao took advantage of the prospective father-in-law Lin Daoyuan, since Lin Daoyuan's family moved to his original courtyard, it didn't take long for Lin Daoyuan to move the previous phone to the courtyard.

Lin Daoyuan's work cannot be without a phone, and in terms of his position status, sometimes there will be a work phone in the middle of the night to find it, and it is very inconvenient to have no phone.

In this era, telephones are rare, and it is impossible for ordinary people to install telephones at home, and only basic cadres like Lin Daoyuan have this qualification.

For a long time, Song Yuanchao called either to the public phone or to the telephone bureau, which was too inconvenient, and the long-distance call was even more inconvenient.

When Lin Daoyuan moved the plane, Song Yuanchao deliberately mentioned it, and pressed the phone to his side through Lin Daoyuan's relationship. Although this phone can only be called in the city and not outside the city, if you want to make a long-distance call, you have to go to the telephone office, but it is always convenient to have a phone at home, and it is no problem not to call in from outside, just like now Song Yuanchao picked up the phone and heard that it was from Pengcheng.
