Seeing that Chen Xu was still sullen, Liu Jingsheng walked back to the sofa and sat down, and said to Chen Xu seriously, Xiao Xu, have you ever read the Tao Te Ching, Chen Xu shook his head and said: "I just know that some famous sayings come from there, but I haven't read them seriously." Liu Jingsheng said: "Chapter 77 of the Tao Te Ching has these two sentences: The way of heaven is more than what is damaged and what is lacking; The way of man is not, and the loss is not enough to give more than enough. I don't need to explain it, it's not profound. The rules of reality in human society are the opposite of the "way of heaven", unlike the laws of nature. For people and things, people prefer icing on the cake, don't like to send charcoal in the snow, like to harm others and benefit themselves, and even harm others and themselves. Xiao Xu, you are more likely to pursue equality than privilege, because equality was out of reach for you in the past. In the real society, many times people fear the powerful and the rich, and bully the weak. The reality is not as rosy as it seems. It is not because of their sins that they are insulted and damaged, but simply because they are weak and powerless to resist.

When I was in college, boys liked martial arts novels, because in novels, men's rivers and lakes can be happy with revenge, poor boys can meet nobles, and a book of martial arts cheats can embark on the road of counterattack; And female classmates like domineering president novels, whether they are beautiful and ugly, whether they are rich daughters or Cinderella, they can be loved and spoiled, and they can go to the pinnacle of life, which is impossible to achieve in reality, and can be satisfied through a sense of substitution.

When you see through the laws of this world, either you go to conform to him, maximize your interests, make yourself stronger, and make yourself better; Either despise it, live a chic and uninhibited life, and retain a free heart. In the final analysis, there are only two needs for human beings in the world: a sense of belonging and a sense of identity. To be loved, understood, to be recognized, people live for nothing more than that.

You can think about my words, I'm not very clever, but I want to be able to comfort you, but my mouth is stupid. ”

Chen Xu suddenly smiled, "Brother, I think you are very smart, and you have read so many books, and you think things very clearly." I can get the love of my parents and you, and become a family with you, this is in line with the way of heaven, right? Liu Jingsheng also smiled, "Yes, even Tiandao feels that it is unfair to you, so it will let us meet to make up for you." What else could you not be happy about? The disturbances of the human world are like clouds covering the sun, but dark clouds cannot cover the sun. ”

Chen Xu hugged the pink pig, "Brother, it's good to have you!" ”

The young colleagues of the procuratorate suddenly found that Chen Xu seemed to have changed as a person, and he had become cold. As a result, many people began to have different opinions about her coldness again.

One day, Li Chang gave Chen Xu a form and said: "Our unit is selecting experts in the position, I reported to you, you fill in this form." Chen Xu shook his head and said, "Director Li, I haven't been here for a long time, and I haven't done much work, so this title is well deserved." Li Chang insisted: "I see everyone's performance, you are not afraid of hardship and tiredness in our department, and you do the most work, who do you choose if you don't choose?" If anyone is not satisfied with this decision, they can come and say it to me. ”

Gao Jiaqi and the newcomer Zhang Yu looked at them very unconvinced, but they didn't dare to say anything. Chen Xu filled out the form and handed it to Li Chang.

Gao Jiaqi is just a temporary worker and is not eligible to participate in the selection, but she would rather give this opportunity to others than let Chen Xude, sometimes people's feelings are very delicate.

Gao Jiaqi has been looking at Chen Xu constantly in the past two days, and her eyes are like X-ray scans. Chen Xu couldn't ignore it if she wanted to, one day when Chen Xu didn't have work at hand, she looked up at Gao Jiaqi: "Sister Qi, why are you looking at me like this?" It's not the first day you've known me! Gao Jiaqi smiled, "Do I really know you?" I don't know anything about you! ”

Chen Xu said: "I don't know what I have aroused Sister Qi's curiosity about me?" I'm usually as transparent as a bowl of water, and there's nothing worth delving into. ”

When Gao Jiaqi heard this, she sneered, "Just you, still as transparent as water?" No one can compare to you when you tell jokes. Zhang Yu and two other old comrades were also watching the two of them with the mentality of watching a play.

Gao Jiaqi is married, and her father-in-law is the deputy director of the Water Conservancy Bureau, because Gao Jiaqi is the object of her husband in college, so although her father-in-law is dissatisfied with Gao Jiaqi's lack of work, but her son refuses to break up, so she has to come forward to help her find this temporary job. Although Gao Jiaqi is not established, the salary is not high. But Gao Jiaqi drives a good car, lives in a big house at home, and has a mother-in-law to take care of the children, she is like an unmarried young woman every day, and she and her husband have no burden to play as much as they want. The leader of the unit looked at her father-in-law's face and was quite polite to her, so she was more free in the unit. Such special treatment has lasted for a long time, making her a little drifting and unable to find her position.

Gao Jiaqi did not shy away from saying: "Chen Xu, I found that your watch is good, and you are quite precious to it, how much did you buy it?" In fact, she is like a mirror, such an expensive thing cannot be bought by Chen Xu herself.

Chen Xu glanced at the watch, "I do like this watch very much, but not because it is expensive, but because it is the same as my brother's, As for the price, I don't know, because it is customized, no one tells me how much it is, and I don't care about this." Gao Jiaqi saw that Chen Xu didn't mind answering this, and became interested, "Chen Xu, in fact, I have always wanted to ask you, what's the matter with your brother?" Chen Xu stared at Gao Jiaqi's eyes and said: "Actually, these are my personal life, so I don't want to tell you, but I don't think there's any need to be so secretive, it's not a big deal." Let me tell you: My brother and I were originally friends, at first we were ordinary friends, and then after a long time, he wanted me to be his sister. So his parents recognized me as their daughter, and that's it. Gao Jiaqi looked at Chen Xu in surprise, "Can it still be like this?" So what does his family do? Rich? "Chen Xu smiled, my father-in-law is a civil servant, my stepmother and brother are businessmen, although it is not a rich and noble family, but the conditions are still good in comparison."

Gao Jiaqi still felt a little unbelievable, "They are really willing to spend money on you, your clothes are not cheap!" Chen Xu said proudly: "My parents really love me and treat me like a daughter." ”

Gao Jiaqi was skeptical, "It's not a kiss, can it be so close?" Chen Xu smiled slightly, "Why not?" Mom and Dad like me. My dad used to be a soldier stationed on the frontier for many years, and he didn't smile at all, but he would go to the mall and buy me a lot of stuffed animals. Mom would take me to meet her friends and proudly introduce me to others as her baby girl. Not only did my brother buy me clothes and toys, but he would also put a lot of flower pots in the house and plant flowers that were originally born in the wild, just because I liked them. As he spoke, Chen Xu took out his mobile phone and pulled up the photo album and handed it to Gao Jiaqi, "You see, this is the toy that my father and my brother bought for me." Gao Jiaqi looked at the many photos taken by Chen Xu in surprise, so many delicate and beautiful toys, enough to open a plush toy store. Then, Chen Xu picked out a few more photos of cosmos, "Look, this is the flower my brother planted for me." It happened to be open during the Chinese New Year. Gao Jiaqi couldn't close her mouth in shock, "Your brother spoils you too much." ”

Chen Xu took back his mobile phone, "Sister Qi, I didn't want to talk to you about this. But I find that you seem to have a lot of misunderstandings about me. Gao Jiaqi said a little sarcastically: "Actually, everyone is very strange, since your brother's family is so rich, why do you still let you do this kind of work of thousands of yuan a month?" Chen Xu smiled, "Because I like it, my dad has said many times that if I don't like this job, I can stop doing it, and the three of them are more than enough to support me alone." But I don't want to be so wasteful. Speaking of which, it's just that others don't understand, Sister Qi, you should be able to understand me, I heard that your family conditions are also good, do you still need to earn more than 1,000 yuan a month? It's not enough to drive to work! Gao Jiaqi was very embarrassed for a while, because the salary of temporary workers is indeed very low, only more than 1,000 yuan per month, and her car is more fuel-intensive, and the salary is indeed not enough to maintain a car.

People are really strange, ordinary Chen Xu treats people politely and kindly, and there are no complaints when she does more work, so Gao Jiaqi feels that she is weak and can be bullied, but she didn't expect Chen Xu to be unkind to her today, Gao Jiaqi is ashamed of herself.

An aunt in the office who was about to retire said to Chen Xu: "Oh, you kid has finally come to an end, I heard people say that you suffered a lot when you were a child, and your parents don't care about you." When Chen Xu heard this, he didn't get angry, but said with some pleasure: "That's right, my biological parents really don't care about me, but there are still good people in this society, although there are not many." I don't complain about anything, I'm grateful for what I have. ”

The conversation couldn't go on, and everyone felt that Chen Xu was no longer the Chen Xu of the past.
