Li Mai smiled and beckoned, and Zhou Qi walked over, "Mr. Li." ”

Facing Zhai Ruonan's puzzled gaze, Li Mai said, "Let me introduce you, Zhou Qi, Qin Guohua's personal assistant, and my old subordinate." ”

Zhai Ruonan slowly understood, "No wonder you are confident, it turns out that there are already undercover agents by Qin Guohua's side." ”

"Hehe, no book is made without coincidence. I didn't expect to enable Zhou Qi at this time. Zhou Qi worked as an errand in the intelligence agency and worked in my old army for two years. It was also after I came back that I learned that Zhou Qi had entered the Guosheng Group. ”

Li Mai said, "All in all, for you, the qiē is over, and for me, after dawn, the qiē is over." ”

Looking at Zhai Ruonan, Li Mai said, "Zhou Qi and you will go to Germany together, and one more person will take care of it, and Haohao and I will rest assured." ”

"He ......," Zhai Ruonan wanted to speak, but stopped.

Li Mai said: "Zhou Qi's identity will be exposed sooner or later, and it is also planned to go out to avoid it." In that case, you will go to Germany together and take care of each other. You can rest assured, Zhou Qi is a trustworthy person. ”

Zhou Qi nodded and said, "Mr. Li, don't worry, Miss Zhai won't have any security problems." Miss Zhai, don't worry, I will never affect your life. ”

"Well, Zhou Qi, you go to the room and take out Miss Zhai's luggage, and I'll send it to you. Li Mai said.

Zhou Qi walked into Zhai Ruonan's room and took out his luggage.

"Ruonan, take good care of yourself, come back when you have time, Haohao will miss you very much. Li Mai whispered to Zhai Ruonan, who was standing there looking at Haohao's room.

Zhai Ruonan took two steps towards Haohao's room and stopped, his eyes filled with tears, and he whispered, "Take care of him." ”

Li Mai sighed in his heart.

"Don't worry, let's go. ”

Li Mai sent the two out, Li Mai and Zhai Ruonan stood at the door, and Zhou Qi carried the luggage into the car. Zhai Ruonan turned around, looked at Li Mai, wiped his tears, smiled, and said, "Let me hug you." ”

Li Mai smiled and opened his arms and took Zhai Ruonan into his arms.

Zhai Ruonan hugged Li Mai hard for a while, closed his eyes and felt it for a while, let go of him, and strode over to get into the car.

Zhou Qi walked over and said in a low voice, "Mr. Li, what will happen to Qin Guohua?"

Looking at Zhou Qi, Li Mai patted him lightly on the shoulder, "He will have a very good life, you also said it, this is the last thing he meant to you." ”

Zhou Qi bowed deeply to Li Mai, "Thank you, Mr. Li." ”

"Go ahead and take care of Miss Zhai. I'll arrange someone to take care of your family's affairs, so you don't have to worry. ”

Zhou Qi bowed again, turned around and walked quickly to get into the car, and the car slowly drove away.

Seeing the car getting farther and farther away, Li Mai suddenly felt empty in his heart.

Hu Wenbing flashed out of the darkness, walked over, and walked around the villa with Li Mai, came to the courtyard behind, sat down, and smoked.

"Zhou Qi is grateful and sympathetic to Qin Guohua, so you can rest assured that he and Zhai Ruonan will go abroad together?" asked Hu Wenbing.

Li Mai sat on the recliner and leaned back comfortably, and the starry sky came into view.

"Zhou Qi has followed Qin Guohua for seven years, for seven years. As far as I know, Qin Guohua regards him as the same as his son. If Zhou Qi didn't have any sense of this fatherly feeling, he wouldn't have been trusted by me. Love and righteousness and right and wrong are two different things, Zhou Qi sees it very clearly, and he is still rational. Otherwise, he would not have followed Qin Guohua for seven years, and still retained his original faith. Li Mai said slowly.

Hu Wenbing sighed slightly, "Maybe what you said is right." ”

After a pause, Hu Wenbing said, "Zhang Xiaoyu is gone, Zhai Ruonan is gone, what should you do?"

"What should I do, the days will be taken care of and the money will be earned. Li Mai spat out a cigarette.

Hu Wenbing adjusted his sitting posture to be more in line with the rest of the conversation.

"So I went back to the old topic - what should Hao Hao do?" Hu Wenbing looked at Li Mai and said, "I know that you don't care, physical problems are easy to solve, and emotional problems can also be comforted by Rava for the time being." Don't stare at me, I can tell by looking at my eyes that there is a path between you and that Rava . You're full alone, what about Haohao, what about your son?"

Hu Wenbing stretched out his palm and counted and said, "You see, it hasn't been half a year since you brought your son back, and how much has happened. One by one, the women came and went, one moment the one acted as the mother, and the other played the role of the mother. I can remind you, don't look at Haohao, this kid seems to know a lot of truth. After all, he is a five-year-old child, and when it comes to the sky, he is now a blank slate. What pattern and reverence can be left for him, it all depends on your home. ”

Pointing to the villa behind him, he said, "Look at it, how long has it been, how many hostesses have changed in this house? The country must be stable, and the family must also be stable, no matter where it is, if it is not stable, something will happen." ”

Li Mai shook his head a little distressedly, "I can't figure out now whether I like Zhang Xiaoyu or Zhang Xiaoyu because of Zhai Xiaoyu." ”

Hu Wenbing shrugged his shoulders, "I can't help you with emotional problems, you think for yourself." Still, in my opinion, you'd be realistic. You're not like everyone else, you have a son. Your focus is on your son. To put it bluntly, you don't have to be emotional. If you think you are good at raising children and educating children, Haohao is satisfied, it is your daughter-in-law. Talking about love is too extravagant. ”

Li Mai frowned and looked at Hu Wenbing, but asked, "Actually, I've always wanted to ask you, you have never been in love and you are still a virgin, why do you see these problems more clearly than I do, and you always see blood for a while?"

It was late at night, and the wind from the sea had weakened a little, but it was still cool.

Pulling the corners of his mouth, Hu Wenbing said, "How do you know that I am a virgin?"

"You said it yourself. Li Mai squinted his eyes and said.

"Uh, did I say that?" Hu Wenbing was stunned for a moment, "I guess I drank too much." Alas, these things have nothing to do with whether or not they have experience. Men and women, these things, you think are very complicated, I think it's very simple. ”

"Sir taught me. ”

Maslow believed that there should be five levels of human needs. From bottom to top, they are physiological needs, safety needs, belonging needs, respect needs, and self-actualization. First of all, I affirm this view. Now the vast majority of people are at the bottom, and they have to work hard every day for firewood, rice, oil and salt. Do you agree with that?"

Li Mai nodded slowly and said, "I should agree." After all, there are very few people who don't have to worry about material things. ”

"That's right. Then the question comes, the vast majority of people are at such a level, so, at this level, can falling in love and talking about feelings be inseparable from firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea? Obviously, it is inseparable at all. I believe that love is a purely spiritual need that should be classified as self-actualization. People at the bottom pursue the spiritual harvest at the top, you say, will there be problems, what problems will go wrong?"

Li Mai waved his hand and said, "You digress, what I ask you is, do you think things between men and women are simple, how can you see them?"

Hu Wenbing shook his head, "That's too superficial, who doesn't understand this truth now." It costs a lot of money to fall in love, and it costs a lot of money to get married. Money is the cornerstone, and without it, no matter how great love is, it is a mirage. But that's not what I'm trying to say. ”

After a pause, Hu Wenbing said, "Take you as an example." You don't lack anything now, but you still have to worry about women's affairs. Why? Because you're getting the starting point wrong. ”

"You go on, if you can't convince me, I'll remove your mandible right away. Li Mai said.

"You'd better be prepared to pay for tuition. ”

Hu Wenbing smiled and said, "Your current situation, looking for a woman is for the purpose of getting married, right?"

"That's right. ”

"Then why are you still asking the question of whether I like her and love her?"

Hu Wenbing asked with a glare.

Li Mai's eyes also widened, and it took a while to come back to his senses.

"You mean, you don't need love or love to form a family?" Li Mai asked as he looked at Hu Wenbing incredulously.

Hu Wenbing smiled, "The trivialities in life will ruin all love." What you're looking for is just a woman who is suitable for living with you and Haohao. ”

Li Mai said slowly, "I understand, sparing such a big circle, you want to show that I am still at the bottom." ”

"The people at the top have almost died during the Republic of China, and the rest of them died during the Cultural Revolution, and those who didn't die died later. In this day and age, there are only a handful of people like you and me who still have faith, let alone those who go beyond their personal needs. Hu Wenbing's tone became stern.

"It's a mundane world. More than 30 years of economic development is towards the development of a materially rich society, and also towards the development of the world. Traditional morality and concepts will slowly become more and more tools for framing vulgarity. Hu Wenbing said, "I believe in the love of 30 years ago, and I don't believe in the love that will start now." You know, why didn't I fall in love. ”

Slowly refilling a cigarette, Li Mai looked at Hu Wenbing and sighed with emotion, "Old Hu, I never imagined that you could see this issue so deeply and so thoroughly." ”

"Still, it's hard for me to agree with you. We are a nation with a history of more than 5,000 years, and what has not changed for more than 5,000 years, I don't believe that it can change after more than 30 years. I believe that this is just a stage, a stage of the trough. Or in ten years, twenty years, Chinese New Year's Eve, the whole society will develop upward. ”

Hu Wenbing nodded slowly and said, "Of course, once the material abundance is so desirable that the gap between the rich and the poor is small to a certain extent, the whole society will yearn for the spirit and the spiritual greatness." But until then, the synonym for greatness is still money power. ”

"It's an inescapable process, and it will pass, and I firmly believe that. ”

Li Mai said, "That's why you, me, and more people stick to their beliefs and persist in moving forward." ”

Hu Wenbing smiled and stood up, "I should go back, after dawn is the beginning of busyness." Think about it for yourself. ”

Li Mai sent Hu Wenbing away, returned to the courtyard, and looked up at the starry sky......
