side door
Chapter 996
Yu Ming didn't want to discuss any more about the matter that the old man said about his daughter's heart. This matter has already passed, and some things have already caused scars, no matter how he tries to mend the scars, they will not disappear. 【 】And this person is still my father. In the family relationship in China, I am a junior, and my position cannot allow other bad rumors to appear on me.
"Dad, what do you think of what Xiaolang said?" The old man sitting on the chair sighed after hearing this sentence. Obviously, the old man also felt something, and he really didn't have much for Yu Ming himself. In other words, my fourth son was not favored by me at the beginning, otherwise I would not have excluded him alone and let him take the path of official career. Although I had other ideas at the beginning, this anger In fact, it was just a so-called rhetoric. You must know that even if the Yu family has reached the present, its foundation is still in the power of the military, and there has been no change.
But my own son has come to this position today by virtue of his limited strength. I have to say that I still misjudged him at the beginning, and the same is true for Shen Lang, and in Shen Lang It's not once or twice that I miss myself, this little guy is always beyond my expectations.
It's like the current situation, I have clearly felt the difference in the situation, but this time Shen Lang's performance is very severe, I can already feel this from the words of his son, it is obvious that if Shen Lang If Lang was alone, he would definitely not speak so harshly. You must know that the person he faced was his own son, and even he himself would not be like this, but Shen Lang not only did it, but also did it very well. thorough.
"Let's put this matter aside for now, but I don't know if Xiaolang has the time!" Obviously the old man wants to talk to Shen Lang, but he also knows that this matter is almost impossible. One is that Shen Lang won't Yes, although Shen Lang has a good relationship with his son, but what about his relationship with him?Although there has been cooperation in limited areas, but in many areas it is also in dire straits.
In addition, Shen Lang may not really have this time. And at this stage, I am afraid that many forces are staring at Shen Lang. Inviting Shen Lang now, I am afraid that it will increase my bad impression in some people's hearts. , so this matter can only be placed here now, there is no other way, even if I guess something, I can only place it in my heart, because apart from Shen Lang, I can't find any other ways. Otherwise, I wouldn't be looking for this guy.
But at this moment, Shen Lang found another apprentice of his own. Liu Yuan, the little fat man, has already graduated from the teacher, but the other children in the villa are still more than one level behind. They will closely follow Liu Yuan's footsteps. It's really not very easy to say now. Both of them have their own advantages, but the same disadvantage is also very obvious and prominent.
So Shen Lang can only sharpen them now, so that they can get out of this circle as soon as possible, don't rest on their laurels. As a master, he has done his best, and the rest is up to them. If they go If I don't come out, this doesn't seem to have much to do with me. I have already fulfilled my responsibility as a master. Every master and elder hopes that the younger generation can learn something and use it.
But not every apprentice can reach the height he expects. It also created a lot of opportunities for them. But if they didn’t grasp it, it’s not their own fault. Just like what Xinxin did back then, he had already created that platform for her, but Xinxin’s family Did not cherish.
It can be said that this opportunity was picked up by Liu Yuan. In terms of qualifications, Liu Yuan was a few blocks away from his heart, but because Liu Yuan went through that process, and at the same time broke through by himself, so he can achieve today. Such an achievement, this is the so-called coincidence, which can be met but not sought.
Although Du Shaocheng changed into casual clothes when he came, the strong military aura on his body still didn't dissipate, and he showed it very strongly. As for him personally?Although a little restrained, the restraint is still not enough. In some respects, you can still feel a bit sharp. It's not that Du Shaocheng doesn't want to be suppressed, but he hasn't reached that level yet, that is, in this respect, although he He is a senior brother, but he is a big step behind Liu Yuan.
But Du Shaocheng wouldn't just admit defeat like this, it's also not his character, but after Du Shaocheng saw Liu Yuan, he stopped his footsteps, looked at it for a long time, and then nodded slightly , and then squeezed his own fist. "Not bad, very good!" One must know that Du Shaocheng's temperament is actually similar to that of Shen Lang, and sometimes he is even more indifferent than Shen Lang. It is not easy for him to say these four people so sincerely. .
Liu Yuan also nodded to his senior brother, "It's a coincidence, I believe the senior brother will not be too far away, I just left here first." Du Shaocheng didn't say anything, and then went to see himself Master Shen Lang, I feel very happy about my junior brother breaking through this matter, and there is no such thing as jealousy. I am short of that because my cultivation is not enough. What does it have to do with other people? If you feel jealous and unhappy, then Just take this step by yourself, sooner or later, it doesn't make any difference.
Shen Lang looked at the apprentice who came in, and also smiled, "Did you see the little fat man?" Du Shaocheng nodded vigorously without any hesitation, "I didn't expect the younger brother to come to this step, it's very powerful." Without further ado, it was obvious that he still had a strong competitive spirit.
Shen Lang also smiled at this, "Shaocheng, do you know? Liu Yuan's talent can't be said to be the strongest among you, the only thing he is better than you is that he has a good temperament, is very open-minded, and basically You are not affected by the outside world, whether it is you, Xinxin, or even Guoguo, Kitty and Chongchong, you are more or less affected by family and other aspects, although more or less, But it will definitely affect your practice!"
"I will put my heart into it."
"No, that's not what I'm talking about. In fact, I don't know if you have looked at yourself from other angles. At your age, most children are doing something even if they are among the same people. You can be regarded as the best, a genius among geniuses. What I want to tell you is that life is hard and easy to break. In fact, genius is nothing. If you don't reach one level, you can only be called a genius if you really grow up, don't let this name become a burden for you!"
Du Shaocheng looked at his master, and he understood the truth very well, but he seldom took it into consideration, or he didn't realize it at all. Now that the master said this to him so seriously, did he mean it? What do you mean?Seeing Du Shaocheng lost in thought, Shen Lang also slowed down for a while, "Shaocheng, you have been sharp for so many years, you should have restrained yourself and try it, and you will find a lot of differences!"
Du Shaocheng looked at his master with a strange expression, but he didn't say anything, and quickly went to pack his things. After waiting for a short time, Liu Yuan also walked in quietly and saw his master Looking at himself, he also smiled, "Senior brother is a little weird, he even asked me something after I went out, I don't understand, master, you also know that senior brother is sometimes very fierce, so I can only hide from you, master coming!"
Shen Lang also snorted, "From the perspective of realm, Shaocheng may be a level behind you, but if the two of you face-to-face, you may win before you know it, and if it's not face-to-face, I can win." I am very sure, you are definitely not Shaocheng's opponent, even Shaocheng has no problem with letting you have one hand."
Liu Yuan directly covered his head, and said in a very funny way, "Master, don't hit me like this! My tail hasn't turned up yet! Can't you let me be proud for a while?" Shen Lang said At the time, I didn't mean to be too much of a joke, "You must know that the stronger the power, the more difficult it is to control. When we want to do it, we can control our own power instead of letting ourselves be controlled by power. The road you are taking is very Steady, because you are cultivating xinxing, but the result is that your strength is one level lower, and what about Shaocheng? The road to take is relatively bumpy. He majors in strength, but the final result of the two of you is Different routes lead to the same goal."
"Understood!" Liu Yuan shook his head, "I'd better go out and find senior brother! Although senior brother is a little cold and sometimes not easy to get along with, it's better than being with you, master. When I grow up, I really doubt that if I continue to stay here, my head will reflect the Mediterranean Sea, if that is the case, our family Xinxin may not want me, master, you will be responsible."
Listening to Liu Yuan's ruffian-like tone, Shen Lang frowned. This Liu Yuan looks like his father, but he laughed after thinking about it. This is Liu Zhuang son!It would be really strange if he was not like his father, but Liu Yuan is not so smart. After knowing what he meant, he left in such a way that was almost rogue. His child is different, no wonder he can get to where he is today, it really is not Gaide.
As for how Du Shaocheng and Liu Yuan communicated, Shen Lang did not ask. I believe that the two of them will handle this matter well, and Shen Lang has come to the basement at this time. The very important files were handed over to Shen Lang, and then he said slowly, "Our bank on the surface has been squeezed out a lot, but because of its good reputation, it's still doing well!"
Hearing this, Shen Lang had a wry smile on his face, "These guys really want to kill me! Isn't it just a bank? Do you need to be so exaggerated? I don't intend to compete with them for jobs !"
The old housekeeper Hart showed a little disdain for Shen Lang's pretended helplessness and depressed tone, "Master, at least the bank's income and expenditure are relatively balanced now. Although we have lost some, but because of the comparison of control Strictly speaking, relatively speaking, the situation is much better than in the past, and there is another bank of ours, the situation is very good. No one has noticed it yet, and our income and expenditure problems, because of this There are two banks, which is much more convenient.”
Shen Lang looked at the income and expenditure report and was very satisfied. After having these two banks, he has a lot more room to maneuver, and many things don't need to be placed in the sun anymore. There is no need , In the past few years, I have suffered too much in this area, now I finally have such an opportunity, why don't I cherish it?Otherwise, I would be too sorry for myself.
As for the amount of income and expenditure, this does not have much practical significance to Shen Lang, it is just some numbers. The only thing that can make Shen Lang feel satisfied is that the current control over these numbers is completely his own, and he is completely You don’t need to be influenced by other aspects, but you also need to be vigilant to yourself. Sometimes struggling is not a good thing. You must keep this in mind. Even if you have absolute power, you can’t be presumptuous. The examples are all placed there, and I have to learn from it.
Another point is the problem of my diligence and frugality. Although the family is rich, it is just a drop in the ocean. I always keep this in mind, and at the same time, I also warn the children in the family that they are not tired of every inch of land, so they become majestic. The sea does not reject the trickle, so it becomes vast. Bit by bit is hard to come by, don't you believe it?Then go and see those children in charity, Shen Lang will never be stingy about investing in this area.
Let them see the beautiful side of this world, but at the same time let them get in touch with the dirty side of this world. The mutual opposition and existence of black and white may be difficult for them to understand, but they must have this awareness. You know, this is the way and method of Shen Lang's education.
When it was almost night, Shaocheng's side had also finished their preparations, because they didn't take the same route as Shen Lang and the others, so Du Shaocheng carried different things. Looking at the preparations Du Shaocheng had chosen, Shen Lang also grimaced. Grind my teeth, this apprentice of mine is really not polite at all!Du Shaocheng didn't pay attention to the gaze that his master was looking at him at all, and even gave his master a hand.
Shen Lang looked at the list, and also signed his name on it, and then returned the list to Du Shaocheng again. Shen Lang didn't need to ask for the rest. Du Shaocheng has his own channel, and the route he takes is the same as His master Shen Lang is also different. You must know that he was in the United States at the beginning. I'm afraid they will all express deep fear. To a certain extent, Du Shaocheng's cold-bloodedness is probably not much different from his master Shen Lang, and the people at the entrance are also deeply troubled by Du Shaocheng's behavior. But there is one thing this guy does that makes them really have nothing to say, that is, he is very careful and meticulous in everything he does, and he can't grasp any evidence or evidence of this guy, even if you deliberately I can't find it even if I look for it.
Because of this, Du Shaocheng was also called Ghost Death God at the entrance of the hall. Ghost Shadow meant that this guy never left any traces of what he did, and Death God was completely used to describe him. Shen Lang is very similar, as long as it falls into his hands, don't think about other things, there is basically no other possibility except death, at least until now, I haven't heard too much about breaking free from his hands people who come out.
Now that Du Shaocheng, the tiger who had been imprisoned for a long time, was released, I don't know what the lottery will be like, but no matter what?They are all making trouble on other people's land. Anyway, something happened out of the lottery, and Shen Lang is standing on top of it. Shen Lang doesn't have any worries. Others are worried about what. If you have this thought, you might as well think about it. What kind of benefits will be gained from this operation.
And now the situation in Japan is also very strange. After Shen Lang came for a while, although there was a short period of calm, everyone also came together. Previously, the United States was the overlord here, but now? ?The United States has chosen to back off. Whether it is active or passive, the fat has already appeared. If this is the case, what else is there to say, let's start eating!
It’s free to eat, and it’s not free to eat, and even if the United States wants to cause this trouble in the future, it depends on whether they have the power and ability, and so many people don’t mind joining forces with the United States. Confrontation, if you don't believe it, try it!Anyway, even if it is a loss, it’s nothing, because everyone had nothing before, and it’s worth it to get these things all of a sudden. ! .
