Completely different from Qin Zheng's tangled mood, Chu Zhen is talking with Xue Lao at the moment!

“…… After receiving the review, I didn't pursue him further...... That's what happened on the train. ”

Chu Zhen just told Xue Lao about the conflict on the train that day, although Chu Zhen tried to be as brief as possible, but after all, he had the skills of a leadership trainer for many years, and in a few minutes, Chu Zhen told the ups and downs of the matter quite vividly, and Xue Lao was also very interested in listening to it, and nodded from time to time.

"Xiao Zhen, you handled this whole thing very well! You've made the right choice in the end! Grandpa is very pleased! ”

After listening to Chu Zhen's story, Xue Lao was surprised by Chu Zhen's calm and calm performance on the one hand, and on the other hand, he was very satisfied with Chu Zhen's choice not to "fake benevolence" for money.

Xue Lao even began to feel a little secretly proud in his heart, feeling that he was really discerning!

In this way, Xue Lao's value and love for Chu Zhen deepened a little.

"Xiao Zhen, although you have handled this matter very well, but you are still young, grandpa still has to give you a reminder. In the future, whether you are out or not, you must walk upright and sit up straight! You are a very talented and gifted young man, young and vigorous, and it is normal to be high-spirited, and grandpa does not want you to be cautious, but to be cautious in your words and deeds, do you understand? ”

Chu Zhen noticed that when Xue Lao was talking to himself, he had unconsciously called himself "grandpa".

Chu Zhen could feel Xue Lao's deep love, and he was very moved and cherished in his heart.

"Grandpa Xue, I understand, I will do less and more in the future!"

"Oh? Tell grandpa, what is one less and three more? ”

With expectant eyes, Xue Lao asked this young man who was constantly surprising himself.

"One less is less talking, and three more is more reading, listening, and asking."

"Talk less, watch more, listen more, ask more. It's the first time I've heard someone say that, Xiaozhen, you did a good job summarizing this! ”

Chu Zhen said in his heart, just kidding, I have as much chicken soup as you want!

Xue Lao showed a relieved smile on his face, Chu Zhen once again gave Xue Lao a small surprise, but the more he loved Chu Zhen, the more Xue Lao wanted to be strict with Chu Zhen.

So Xue Lao said to Chu Zhen solemnly:

"Xiao Zhen, before you choose a book, grandpa has to ask you a question, you think about it and then answer grandpa."

"Okay, I'll think about it seriously, please speak."

Xue Lao paused, and then directly threw out the question: "What is reading?" Why Read? ”

Chu Zhen understood as soon as he heard it, this was Xue Lao who wanted to teach himself.

What is reading? Why Read?

If this question is asked to a high school student, even if Qin Zheng is so good, it is extremely difficult to respond quickly and well.

But who is Chu Zhen?

Before becoming a leadership trainer, Chu Zhen had many years of experience in business management and was also a sales manager with excellent performance.

Not only that, Chu Zhen, who loves learning and reading, also studied as an on-the-job psychology graduate student after work.

Chu Zhen reads at least thirty or forty books a year on average, on the one hand, because of the needs of work, and on the other hand, because of his interest.

Therefore, Chu Zhen has a certain amount of knowledge in modern and modern mainstream management, behavioral economics, psychology, etc.

In an instant, Chu Zhen had the answer in his heart, to be exact, Chu Zhen had at least three answers in his mind that could satisfy Xue Lao.

After thinking about it for a while, Chu Zhen decided to choose an answer that was relatively not so advanced and easier for Xue Lao to understand.

"Grandpa Xue, I want to clarify first, you actually asked two questions, what is reading in the front, I understand it is about how to choose good books, read good books, and use good books, and why read books in the back, in short, it is about choice. Do you think I'm right? ”

"Xiao Zhen, your understanding is very good, even more profound than I want to express, you go on!"

Xue Lao's response to Chu Zhen was a little surprised, to be precise, it was an unexpected surprise, because it was just Chu Zhen's first response, and the ideological height contained in it was far beyond the thinking level of a first-year high school student.

"Yes, Grandpa Snow. I would like to answer your later question first, because I feel that why reading books is more important than how to read good books or what books to read. ”

This sentence made Old Man Xue's heart itch again, and he interrupted Chu Zhen without holding back and said:

"Why?"

Chu Zhen said decisively:

"Doing the right thing is far more important than doing it right!"

This sentence sounds very simple and straightforward, but Xue Lao thought about it carefully, and suddenly felt that it was really extraordinary!

In fact, there is another sentence in Chu Zhen's later life, which is more direct and powerful than this sentence, that is, "choice is greater than effort".

However, Chu Zhen decided not to use this sentence, because it is easy to cause ambiguity in this era.

Chu Zhen didn't continue, he found that after Xue Lao heard this, he actually fell into deep thought.

Xue Lao was indeed in deep thought, from the moment they met at the door of the bookstore, Chu Zhen kept surprising Xue Lao, but what made Xue Lao shake the most was the sentence that Chu Zhen had just said.

Xue Lao found that this simple sentence can summarize most of his life insights since he joined the revolution!

Xue Lao even remembered the many people he knew, they were all very good, and some even surpassed him in terms of knowledge, but in the long river of history, they have all disappeared without a trace! In the final analysis, apart from luck and chance, isn't the biggest reason their choice? That's what Chu Zhen said about doing the right thing.

This kid is a demon! But I like it!

"Great! Small earthquake! ”

Xue Lao stopped pondering, looked at Chu Zhen with great admiration and affection, and said:

"You can say such a truth, you don't have to answer Grandpa's question just now, you have passed!"

Chu Zhen breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.

To be honest, in front of a big man like Xue Lao, who has studied both Chinese and Western, it is definitely false to say that he is not nervous.

"Xiao Zhen, grandpa will give you a brief introduction to my book here."

When Xue Lao said this, a look of pride appeared on his face.

"At least a tenth of my books here are not found in libraries and bookstores. Let me tell you, grandpa found five or six unique books in that Chinese bookstore! That's it, I won't say too much, you take a turn and take a look, and then tell grandpa what your options are, you can borrow up to three books at a time! You don't have to worry, you will eat at my place in the evening and then go home, as for whether you want to send Qin Zheng's girl home, let's talk about it! ”
