Rebirth 1980: Marrying my sister’s best friend at the beginning

After calming down a bit, Li Yi said, "Come in!"

Then, the door of the room was pushed open, and Jiang Longcheng and Ye Jianhua walked in together.

"Third brother, Brother Jianhua, why are you here!" Li Yi asked with a smile.

Jiang Longcheng said in a somewhat depressed mood: "Brother-in-law, we want to talk to you. Is it convenient for you now?"

"That's convenient. I don't have anything to do right now. You guys sit down and talk!" Li Yi said.

The two nodded and immediately sat down on the sofa next to them.

Li Yi poured them some water and asked, "What happened? Why do you all look unhappy?"

After a brief silence, Jiang Longcheng suddenly said, "Brother-in-law, do you think we are useless and only suitable for living a life of idleness and waiting to die in the system?"

Li Yi was stunned at first, then asked: "Why do you say that? Are you stimulated by something?"

"nor"

Before he could finish, Li Yi said in a deep voice: "Tell the truth!"

Jiang Longcheng opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but no sound came out.

At this time, Ye Jianhua next to him said immediately: "Let me tell you, this afternoon when Brother Longcheng went to the toilet, I accidentally heard someone discussing us in the toilet, and said some ugly words!"

"Oh, what did you say that caused such a big reaction in Third Brother?" Li Yi asked with interest.

"They said that we were both related, and that you were forced into Warwick Company because you were our brother-in-law, and that we were able to become supervisors because of you!"

Then Ye Jianhua continued: "Besides, they also said that we know nothing except making a lot of noise, and we are completely useless. And they keep saying it..."

"What else can you say?" Li Yi said.

"They also said that Third Brother acts like a worldly gentleman, but he is useless except for causing trouble!" Ye Jianhua said.

Li Yi looked at the two of them, then said, "Is this why you have self-doubt?"

Jiang Longcheng sighed and said, "When I heard this, I was very angry. I was so angry that I almost wanted to grab them and beat them up. But when I think about it carefully, what those guys said makes sense."

Seeing that Li Yi did not respond, Jiang Longcheng continued: "When I was in Beijing, I always felt that I was a person of some importance. I lived a carefree and comfortable life, and I was doing well and thriving like a fish in water."

"Although I also know that in most cases, they rely on family favors and do not have much ability. But I don't think I am a waste, let alone a second-generation rich man like Liu Dongping, Yang Hua, Du Haicheng, and Gou Chenggong."

"However, in the past two or three months since I left the system, when I had to rely on myself for everything, I suddenly felt like I was a loser, I knew nothing, I could do nothing, I was just a complete idiot."

"Regret it?" Li Yi asked indifferently.

"No, I just feel a little embarrassed, and I'm also unsure!" Jiang Longcheng said.

Li Yi nodded, then looked at Ye Jianhua and said, "Brother Jianhua, what about you? Do you regret it?"

"I don't regret it. After all, life now is much more exciting than when I was in the system, and I earn more. But sometimes I feel a little uncomfortable when I see others pointing fingers at us, and even saying that we are just relying on your relationship to get by!" Ye Jianhua replied.

Li Yi looked at his two uncles, and then said with a hint of relief: "It is important for people to know themselves. The fact that you have such thoughts shows that these few months have not been in vain."

"You should know that those who can fly freely in the dark are not necessarily eagles, but may be bats. Those who can thrive in a cesspool are not necessarily mandarin fish, but may be maggots. So don't be complacent about your success. It may not be because you are so good, but because you are in the right position." "Many people fail to see this point and mistake luck for their own strength, and end up in failure. But you can recognize your own incompetence, which is good."

Jiang Longcheng and Ye Jianhua were both stunned. They didn't expect Li Yi to praise them. Their disappointed mood improved a little.

"Brother-in-law, what should we do now? We always feel that we know nothing and are just dispensable waste in the team!" Jiang Longcheng said.

"Everyone is born with a talent for something. There is no such thing as a born useless person. There are only fools who don't know how to make progress!"

Then Li Yi continued: "Don't underestimate yourselves. I know your abilities. As long as you study hard, you will definitely be able to do your current job well!"

Li Yi was not just giving spiritual chicken soup to his two brothers-in-law, he really thought so.

As for people, the most difficult people to communicate with are not the uneducated ones or the fools, but those who have been indoctrinated with standard answers.

Although Jiang Longcheng and Ye Jianhua did not have a high level of education, they were quick-witted and, influenced by their families, their overall view was much better than that of people from ordinary families.

What's more, there are three good teachers in life who can teach people to grow, including the experience of failure, the empty wallet and the people who leave.

Now that they have experienced setbacks and have escaped from their original environment, as long as they are given more guidance and learning, and as long as they are allowed to find the direction of their efforts, they will definitely achieve something.

"Really?"

"Of course it's true. You must remember that when you go out, you must face the reality, know yourself, and know the people around you!" Li Yi said.

"Reality, myself, and the people around me?"

"When you are adding icing on the cake, the door is crowded with people, but when you are sending charcoal in the snow, the door is deserted. This is the reality. Don't overestimate yourself, be low-key, don't underestimate others, be humble, this is how you can know yourself. As for how to know the people around you, Yang Hua's incident should be enough for you to learn!"

Then Li Yi said again: "I'll give you a word. If you can do this, your future will be limitless!"

"What?"

"Opening your mouth is a disaster, keeping your mouth shut is a blessing. Speak less when you meet people, and don't get involved in things. The water is too deep and the wind is too strong. If you don't have the strength, don't speak!" Li Yi said.

Hearing Li Yi mention the words "If you don't have the ability, don't talk too much", Jiang Longcheng and Ye Jianhua both fell into deep thought.

At the same time, there is a little more color in their eyes.
At this time, Li Yi said again: "By the way, you have been away from home for more than three months. I am going back in two days. Do you want to go with me?"

The two looked at each other, and then said in unison: "No!"

After saying that, the two of them immediately fled from Li Yi's office, as if they were afraid that Li Yi would forcibly pull them back.

Seeing the backs of the two people leaving, Li Yi couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly.

After going through so much, these two guys have obviously grown a lot.

In their previous lives, one of them died young and the other was imprisoned. Although they cannot be said to be successful in their careers and have a happy life now, they have managed to change their fate.

But how far they can go next depends on their talent and hard work.

Seeing their changes, Li Yi was very happy. He thought he could give an explanation to the two old men.

Thinking of this, Li Yi immediately picked up the phone and asked Rang to help him arrange a return flight.
