National Tide 1980.

Chapter 773

Director Huo looked at Ning Weimin who was talking eloquently, he was very surprised, and his mood became more and more complicated.

Ning Weimin actually knew the source of most of the 16 foreign exchange certificates for the painting.

Not only that, he also knew that Ning Weimin had been buying seal stones in private.

And taking the opportunity to purchase from the cultural relics store for the altar palace, he also bought a lot of porcelain for him personally.

He even knew that many of the calligraphy, paintings and porcelain in the Tangong restaurant were leased to the restaurant by Ning Weimin, and he collected rent from them on a monthly basis.

Because of this, he firmly believes that Ning Weimin is a profit-seeking philistine.

Think about it, this kid is not satisfied with such a high income from a foreign company, and even uses his power to try his best to take advantage of it.

It would be strange if this kid didn't love money to the core.

However, there are some related situations that Director Huo has never considered or realized.

Ning Weimin actually claimed that among the batch of paintings and calligraphy he bought through Huo Xin, he never sold a single one to make a profit from it.

And for a long time after the transaction was completed, he was under unimaginable debt pressure.

It is also an objective fact that there are so many calligraphy and paintings in this batch, it is not easy to preserve, and it will continue to consume a lot of money.

In addition, the kid patted his chest again and let out bold words.

Guarantee that the paintings and calligraphy will not be sold for 20 years, and will try to find ways to promote the public exhibition of these paintings and calligraphy.

So no matter how much Director Huo hated Ning Weimin, he had to admit that such a personal sacrifice was not small.

If all of this is true, naturally the words "seeking profit only" cannot be pinned on Ning Weimin.

Even speaking from the bottom of my heart, even this kid using his power for personal gain seems to have become a matter of fate

After all, renting a hundred pieces of calligraphy, painting and porcelain to a restaurant only earns two to three hundred yuan a month, not even enough to rent a suitable warehouse.Compared with the actual needs of preserving these paintings and calligraphy, it is really nothing.

So after a while of silence, Director Huo's tone couldn't help but change subtly.

"Your words have yet to be proven. I can't be completely sure whether your words are true or not. I will check carefully. If it turns out that you have done this, then you are not hopeless, and it is still good for the country and society. It is beneficial. I will consider forgiving you moderately."

Be obedient and listen to the sound, this matter has obviously slowed down, and a positive turn has taken place.

Needless to say, Ning Weimin will naturally strike while the iron is hot.

It's just that he didn't happily continue to put money on his face, but wisely took another approach that ran counter to it.

He suppressed the surge of joy in his heart, pretending to sigh deeply.

"Director Huo, thank you for your magnanimity, thank you for patiently listening to my explanation, and thank you for giving me some affirmation. In fact, from your standpoint, even if you don't want to forgive me, it is reasonable. After all, I did something wrong. It is a fact that Huo Xin was hurt, so I will be responsible for my actions. Everything will have a price, I accept this truth. "

"But don't you want to listen to the truth? There is something in my heart that I have always wanted to say. I am a philistine, and my calculation skills are engraved in my blood. This cannot be changed. So Huo Xin and I It was wrong to meet each other. It is not right to be ordinary friends, if we really want to be together, it will be a disaster."

"I don't know what Huo Xin's situation is now, but as long as her life is safe, her mood is gradually returning to calm. From another perspective, this is the best way now. This is life correcting mistakes. To be honest, I'm really happy for her too."

Director Huo was momentarily speechless by the reasoning that "it's too late".

If Ning Weimin wanted to evade responsibility, he didn't deny his mistake.

If Ning Weimin wanted to shirk his responsibility, he only said his own fault and did not express any dissatisfaction with Huo Xin.

It seemed that there was nothing wrong with Ning Weimin's words.

But with years of experience, this kind of humble attitude made Director Huo feel wary.

He could clearly feel that Ning Weimin was retreating, trying to further shake his mind.

So his words became harsh again, as a way to beat him.

"What kind of talk is this! What is God's will? Man is determined to conquer nature. Can't people's shortcomings be corrected? Unless you don't want to change. It will be a disaster? What do you mean? My daughter has become a disaster star? It's so disgusting ?”

However, Ning Weimin was not affected in the slightest, calm as usual, and talked freely.

"Director Huo, to me, you are completely 'Wei Guangzheng'. Although you are in a high position, you are principled, practical and convincing. As your daughter, Huo Xin has a good family environment, It also makes her naturally noble, jealous of evil, and full of sense of justice."

"She treats her friends with absolute sincerity. She instinctively hates conspiracies and philistine calculations. Frankly speaking, she is more forthright, generous, trustworthy, and empathetic than many men. If you force her shortcomings, it is that her world is Black and white, too idealistic. She doesn't rub the sand in her eyes, and always intervenes to the end in things she doesn't like."

"But the problem is that people are different. Some people have choices, and some people don't. The other way around, I am not like this. I am an orphan. , they all passed away. I am the only child in my family, and I have no relatives. People like me have no education, no support, no family, low birth, and nothing. Where can I find my life path? Objectively speaking, Since I was born, I have no choice. It is good to be alive."

"But I don't want to live in mediocrity, and I don't want to be curled up at the bottom of society forever. So what should I do? I can only rely on a little talent for calculation, and try my best to carefully seize all the opportunities around me to look forward to Change fate. That's why I said, philistine and calculating, this is the background color I have from birth, it is my instinct for survival, it is deeply rooted and cannot be changed."

"I'm like this, I'm a dog, I'm sure even you can't get used to it. Huo Xin is still very young, impulsive, and emotional. She despises me even more. So from the beginning we met, we were like enemies who couldn't get along Right. But then we became colleagues again. In order to eliminate her bad feeling towards me, I had to find ways to make her happy. Because I couldn’t afford to offend her, lose my job, or take risks. But this has a new It's easy to make her happy, but I can't control the scale just right."

"Yes, when I get along with Huo Xin, I have always been scheming and using tricks to make her change her attitude towards me. But if I don't do this, what else can I do? I'm not making excuses for myself, nor do I want to excuse myself .Mainly because of my personal experience. Sometimes the truth is not lofty, but cruel. I would also like to be a moral person, and I don’t want to do anything wrong. But I can’t do it when I’m hungry.”

"Of course, in reality, I have gained a lot, far exceeding the expectations of food and clothing. Among them, Huo Xin's help to me is a very important factor. I am actually very grateful to Huo Xin. I also have a moral bottom line, and I really want to repay her. I never thought of breaking her heart. But because I know very well, her affection for me is completely an illusion I created for her. The truth is that she and I are two extremes, I am small, she is big, I am underground, she is in the clouds, I live in the dark, she is good at the light. We can't go further, I can only live up to her kindness."

"To be honest, if I am with Huo Xin like this, I will undoubtedly become a despicable person. Not only have I lied to Huo Xin, but I may also completely mess up your family relationship. Said To be disrespectful, I have shown you the most difficult side of me. If we formally date, can you agree? Can you rest assured? Can your family accept me? Who can believe that I have no evil intentions? , intending to get more from Huo Xin? And in the end, Huo Xin and I will never have any good results. There is no such thing as a happy marriage and harmonious family. Because we have different values, worldviews, and life goals. , no one will change their nature. In the end, it will only become a mutual harm of sparks hitting the earth."

These words really touched Director Huo's heart.

He was shocked by Ning Weimin's conclusion and also contradicted.

Even if he had been wary, he had to admit that Ning Weimin's analysis was reasonable. This is a real and sincere statement.

"It turned out to be a conflict of ideas."

Director Huo's sudden concluding remarks once again showed that the ice in his heart had melted again.

Ning Weimin knew it in his mind, and he began to relax from his hunger.

"Yes, my habit is related to my poor background and lack of corresponding social status. I didn't have the concept of credit until I had wealth and status. The luckiest thing about me is that I have met many truly level people in my life. You are a noble person, especially when you work in a multinational company like Pilkon. I met a boss like Mr. Pilkon and a general manager like Ms. Song Huagui. Let me follow their example and reflect on my own shortcomings. Understand what is real success Otherwise, my repeated successes in the early stage will strengthen some wrong ideas in my nature and turn those wrong ideas into something at the root.”

"If that's the case..." At this point, Ning Weimin couldn't help but look up at Director Huo, "...It will undoubtedly be a vicious circle. I will really become a person who only pursues profits, just like you said. A man who has completely abandoned morality."

The lingering fear in Ning Weimin's eyes was clearly captured by Director Huo.

Such an expression is by no means a fake or a show, it can be shown.

This vivid scene made him unable to doubt anything anymore, and he really began to let go.

I even thought of many past events, such as the difficulty in studying when I was young, and the hesitation when I first joined the unit and started working.

Several times of distress while performing missions abroad, years of silent forbearance, emotional regret and loneliness, helpless compromise in marriage...

Life is indeed helpless!
So unconsciously, empathy replaced the hatred in Director Huo's heart.

And the grievance suffered by his daughter Huo Xin brought him indignation, and most of his biggest knots really disappeared.
