Chapter 127: Ordinariness is not a sin
"I ......"
This question made Gu Caiwei hesitate, because she found that she hadn't thought about it, and it had always been her mother who was planning her future.
Maybe even Lin Yi thinks more than himself.
This made her feel a little frustrated, and she wanted to hear what Peng Yuchen had to say.
"Before, I originally planned to study abroad, but because of Lin Yi's relationship, I decided to stay and study in China."
Peng Yuchen remained silent, but his heart adjusted his assessment of their feelings again.
"What do you plan to study after you go on to higher education, and what kind of work do you plan to do after graduation?"
"Actually, I don't have too specific ideas."
Peng Yuchen smiled, as expected.
"In that case, Xiao Gu might as well listen to my opinion, and if there is anything wrong, you can always point it out."
"Last time I heard from you that your school's key universities have a high online rate, which shows that you are all very good children."
"But if I'm not mistaken, according to the latest survey data, even the average monthly salary of the proud children who graduated from T University and P University is still less than 10,000 yuan."
"When they take the college entrance examination, they should be in the first few thousandths or even a few thousandths of a thousand segments, not counting their peers who were eliminated before the college entrance examination."
"This is already the highest level, and other key universities have to wait."
"But, you know what? There is no need to compare those kings and queens, the income of a little-known eighteenth-tier celebrity in the entertainment industry is far away, far, far more than this number. β
"Xiao Gu, please trust my professional vision, this is not difficult for you to do."
Zhang Jiaqi frowned, this passage sounded very similar to the "uselessness of reading", which made her very disgusted, and couldn't help but retort:
"The value of a person is not measured by money."
"Yes, I couldn't agree more."
Peng Yuchen went on with her words: "But our society has commodified and monetized some things, and the other part is still in place. β
"If people's social evaluation deviates from the way the economy is distributed, then something must be wrong."
The reasons for this are very complicated, Peng Yuchen didn't plan to worry about the country and the people with them here.
"What I want to say is that in the context of commodification and monetization, we don't have a more objective standard to measure and embody the value of all things other than money."
"Including, the value of people."
Gu Caiwei was indifferent: "You mean that I can make a lot of money?" β
"It's not just that."
Peng Yuchen found out that she was not interested: "I know that for a girl like you, survival and life are not a problem. β
She thought about it, and the best effect before was to tell a story of truth, so she decided to sacrifice herself again.
"Do you know why I've never been married?"
This question came a little suddenly, neither of them knew how to answer, Zhang Jiaqi's gaze swept between her fingers, and there was indeed not even a ring mark.
"Actually, when I was young, I was very envious, and even a little jealous of beautiful girls like you."
Zhang Jiaqi is not presumptuous, and he dares to turn back when he hears someone calling him "beauty" on the street, but it always feels a little strange to be juxtaposed with Gu Caiwei.
"As long as you smile casually, wave your hand, and turn around in a beautiful dress, you will be regarded as the youth of a boy."
"And for an ordinary-looking girl like me, no matter how hard I try, I will be appreciated by boys rather than adored at most."
"Please, who doesn't appreciate your appreciation?"
This made both girls laugh and be a little embarrassed.
"Because no man has ever been courteous to me, I have long understood that they are unreliable."
"Let's talk about my parents, you may have heard just now, they are the kind of people who are very traditional, and they can be called feudal."
"They think that the greatest social value of women is family contributions, and they urge me to go to school just so that I can marry a better man."
"But I don't agree."
"It's not like I haven't tried, but after a series of clichΓ©d stories that don't need to be told, I'm still alone."
"I'm not hostile to men, and we work well together."
"I don't resist my family, it's just that at this age, they have given up the idea of imposing their own ideas on me."
"Actually, what I want to tell you is very simple."
"That is, the backers will fall, everyone will run, and everything can only rely on themselves."
"Why did I quit my decent job at this age and choose to start a business from scratch?"
"Because only my career has brought me an unprecedented sense of accomplishment and security, which no one else can bring me."
Zhang Jiaqi's words were very heartfelt, and she agreed: "That's right, the economic foundation determines the superstructure, and women must have their own careers." β
Peng Yuchen has been observing Gu Caiwei's reaction, and found that her reaction was flat, and she didn't eat this set of "independent woman" characters very much.
It seems that she is a very secure person.
What a lucky one.
Peng Yuchen still has a back hand: "Xiao Gu, I can see that you are well protected, even if you don't do anything, you don't worry that no one loves you." β
"But I suppose you have someone you want to protect, right?"
People who want to protect......
These words made Gu Caiwei slightly moved.
Peng Yuchen was reassured: "I just said that the sense of security that my career brings me is not only for myself, but also for the people I care about. β
"Xiao Gu, what I am pointing out to you now should be the most glorious future that you can touch by relying on your own talents."
"I don't want to assume how much misfortune will befall you, but we can't predict what life will play with us."
"If one day in the future, the person you care about encounters a challenge in life, and you can only rebel against the injustice of fate alone."
"You're anxious, but there's nothing you can do to help."
"At that time, would you regret that you had the opportunity to become stronger, but chose to just be an ordinary person?"
"Ordinary, not a sin."
"But we also have to admit that accepting the ordinary is equivalent to accepting the moment when we will always be powerless and helpless."
"Maybe you don't want that glory, maybe the people who love you don't expect that from you."
"But I don't know if you're really ready to hide behind others for the rest of your life and enjoy their protection in peace for the rest of your life?"
Someone else's ...... Behind you?
Gu Caiwei remembered that from Qi Yiming when she was a freshman in high school, to Li Yang, to Fang Yi, to Qian Jiahao, to Shangguan Yingzi......
He seems to be very used to it, and every time Lin Yi will stand in front of him.
That back is so reassuring.
She didn't doubt that Lin Yi would protect herself as always in the future.
But......
"Nope."
Gu Caiwei still spoke, this time she was unprecedentedly firm: "I long for that glory, and I also long for the power to protect them." β
