Urban Evil Emperor

"Although my sister-in-law has had a rough time these years, it's just a conflict between her and her brother. Generally speaking, she doesn't have much ill feeling towards the Mei family, even for my notorious sister-in-law.

"On the other hand, my parents and I have treated my sister-in-law pretty well. Over the years, with her unyielding character, the reason why she can live a peaceful life is largely due to the protection of the Mei family. , that is, the identity of the daughter-in-law of the Mei family can make her, a young and beautiful woman mixed with all kinds of men, safe and sound.

"I think you may see this point more clearly than my sister-in-law. It is also because of this that you may accept the friendship of a daughter of the Mei family. How about it, am I right?"

Tingdong smiled and clapped his hands and said, "Sister Linlin's summary is relatively comprehensive. I am indeed not mistaken. You are indeed a more pragmatic and rational woman. On the one hand, that kind of casual behavior is caused by the harm that life itself has given you. On the other hand, it is also a superficial phenomenon that you intentionally create.

"I believe that over the years, there are not many people who know your rational side. Come on, Sister Linlin, let's have a toast for your reason and our future cooperation!"

The two goblets collided together and made a crisp "ding" sound. The two drank the wine in the glasses at the same time. Ting Dong squinted his eyes and thought about it, admiringly said: "It's really extraordinary, the 30-year-old wine , the entrance is soft, full-bodied, with a long aftertaste, a rare wine."

Linlin pursed her lips and smiled: "It turns out that you also have insincere moments, hehe!"

Tingdong was taken aback: "Sister Linlin, why do you say that?"

"Didn't you just say that there is no difference between you drinking Moutai and Erguotou? Why are you talking about this aged wine so well now? Does this mean that you know how to taste wine very well!" Mei Linlin said coquettishly.

Tingdong smiled: "I didn't say I don't know how to taste wine? In fact, I like wine tasting very much. I like to experience the different breaths, flavors and textures of various wines on the tip of the tongue and when they enter the throat.

"But wine tasting and drinking are different. Wine tasting is like tasting tea. A small cup or a small cup, drink it in one gulp, and slowly aftertaste. .

“Tasting is for appreciating and appreciating the pleasure of enjoying that moment. To put it bluntly, it is just a kind of luxury enjoyment, which is what literati and refined scholars do in their spare time.

"Drinking is to quench your thirst, solve your body's need for lack of water, and solve basic survival problems. Linlin, to be honest, you and I come from different backgrounds, and we understand things from different angles.

"According to the tradition, you were born in a noble family, and you were born with no worries about food and clothing, even though you are very aware of danger now, it is because you have a prodigal brother in your family, otherwise, you can maintain your current life in peace. The standard of living is fine.

"But I am different. I was born as a commoner. When I was a teenager, my parents were both laid off. Survival was a problem. I had to struggle desperately to solve the problem of survival first.

"Yes, after years of hard work, on the one hand, I work hard, on the other hand, I am naturally smarter, and at the same time, I have always had a group of good friends to help me. Now I can also live a life of luxury.

"However, you also know that I am not a person who forgets my origins. The kindergarten I run, I give the villagers double compensation for land expropriation because I know the hardships of their lives.

"In the future, I will do more things for them. This is my philosophy. Of course, I am not opposed to occasional luxury when conditions permit. It's just that unnecessary waste should be avoided as much as possible."

It may be that the atmosphere is right today. After sitting down, the two of them talked a lot, and they seemed to be opening their hearts. Although Linlin's eyes were full of affection, she was unwilling to destroy this kind of communication. She knew the atmosphere. The same can be met but not sought, and it is even more difficult to find opportunities than the ambiguity of two people.

But she still couldn't restrain her desire to get close to him, she moved her body closer to Ting Dong, put one leg on his, tilted her head and said, "I've always wanted to ask you a question, Dong, why do you insist on demolishing the house yourself instead of contracting it out to a professional demolition company?

"Aren't they more professional and efficient than us? The division of labor in society is becoming more and more detailed, which is a manifestation of social progress. We businessmen mainly pursue efficiency and wealth, right?"

Tingdong nodded, picked up a lake shrimp with his chopsticks, tasted it, put down his chopsticks, put one hand on Linlin's calf naturally, and said with a smile: "You are right, about efficiency, about Social division of labor, about the profit-seeking nature of businessmen, but there is one thing that I have repeatedly emphasized.

"That is, I am not a businessman. In fact, I also understand that this is a kind of hypocrisy, a kind of self-promotion. In fact, I have already been labeled as a businessman, but I am unwilling to accept the attribute of pure profit-seeking. It's kind of like the spirit of Ah Q."

Linlin enjoyed feeling Tingdong's big hand stroking her calf, with a calm and natural expression, but his main energy was still on the conversation between the two of them. After listening to Tingdong's words, she couldn't help asking: " However, there is nothing wrong with businessmen operating legally and pursuing profits, right?"

Tingdong nodded: "Yes, there is nothing wrong with it. It is the nature of a businessman to seek profit, the needs of the world itself, and the power given to businessmen by social needs, but it depends on what we are after?

"Amassing wealth purely for the sake of accumulating wealth, or for other purposes, and accumulating wealth purely for the sake of accumulating wealth, the end result can only become a miser. At the same time, there is a problem of social recognition for other purposes.

"Linlin, you said that you started the business to maintain the safety and continuation of the family, and to avoid accidents with your brother. Have you measured it? How much does it cost? Assuming that 1000 million is enough, what about the extra?

"I believe that all businessmen, including those misers, have a common purpose in accumulating wealth, social recognition, or because of the sense of honor and achievement that wealth brings to themselves. Do you think my words are meaningful? Does it make sense?"

Linlin nodded and said, "That's true. The commodity society is not like the small-scale peasant economy in the past where each household ran its own business. Social recognition, a sense of honor, and a sense of accomplishment are more important to a person, a company, or an organization."

Tingdong laughed: "So, I think that while seeking economic benefits, truly intelligent and knowledgeable businessmen should pay more attention to the social value and interests of themselves and their companies or groups.

"Only in this way can you more and more reflect the recognition and recognition of the society, and your existence will be more meaningful. Otherwise, you will be just a money-making machine, and you will be cast aside by the society slowly, just like a certain Like some unscrupulous real estate businessmen, they do not assume any responsibility to the society except for accumulating wealth, and one day they will be cast aside by society."

Linlin looked at Tingdong full of admiration, and then leaned against him again, with her thighs crossed together, Tingdong's hand naturally touched the root of her thigh.

Ting Dong suddenly realized something, raised his glass in embarrassment and said, "Let's continue drinking."

Linlin snatched Tingdong's wine glass and put it on the table, put her own wine glass into his hand, and said coquettishly, "I want you to feed me!"

Tingdong smiled, supported Linlin's waist with one hand, and brought the wine glass in his hand to her lips with the other hand, and slowly waited for her to take a sip of the wine before putting down the glass.

Linlin leaned into his arms softly, and said softly: "Dong, you know, the most direct factor that led me to cooperate with you is that people like you and think being with you is the most reliable."

Tingdong nodded and said: "I believe what you said. Just now you said three factors that contributed to my cooperation with you. In fact, the most important point is your frankness and sincerity. The quality I hate the most is hypocrisy. The most important thing is hypocrisy. It is sincerity.

"Among my friends, there are thieves and people with all kinds of taints, but people without hypocrisy. Your sincerity and enthusiasm make me unable to avoid it. At the same time, as you said, I really don't have a deep dislike for the Mei family. Even for your brother, I only have sympathy for him, not too much opposition, although he also had a small conflict with me.

"By the way, does he still work in a state-owned enterprise?"

Linlin nodded with a wry smile: "Yes, in name he is still the vice president of the provincial electric power company, according to the past, he is at the deputy department level, but he is not in charge of anything, only responsible for receiving wages, receiving bonuses and paying There are expenses for his hospitality.

"The power company pays well and has sufficient funds. Some of the more frugal bosses have a surplus in their annual entertainment expenses, but Merlin can spend all of his entertainment expenses in two or three months, and the rest can be offered to me. That's good. I I'm really afraid that he will put his hand into the pocket of the public. If someone has a quarrel with the Mei family, or if he offends someone, it will be too easy to harm him.

"So, I made an agreement with him that if he dares to take a penny from the public house, he will never get a penny from me in the future. Judging from the current situation, he has basically done it."

Tingdong sighed, stroked Lin Lin's fragrant shoulder lightly, and said, "I never thought that someone like Mei Lin would have a sister like you, you are a chivalrous woman, Lin Lin, let me toast you again, However, you should change to the red bar, and if you drink the white wine, I'm afraid you will get drunk first."

Linlin nodded meekly, got up to open the red wine, followed Ting Dong's instructions, put the wine bottle and red wine glass in front of Ting Dong, and came back obediently, snuggling up to Ting Dong's side.
