Chapter 54 Director Meng
The next morning, when Meng Lang packed up and went out, Lin Xiaoyu was already waiting at the door.
"Good morning, Xiaoyu. You didn't wait long, right?"
"Good morning, uncle, I just went out. This is the breakfast I brought for you."
Lin Xiaoyu He handed over a plastic bag with a smile.
Meng Lang was flattered and took it over. Inside was a small water glass with rabbit ears and a ham and egg sandwich.
emm...
It has been 24 years, this is the first time a girl has brought me breakfast, and it seems that it was made by myself...
This What's going on with this complicated mood?
"Xiaoyu...oh no, Mr. Manager, you have troubled yourself."
"Haha!" Xiao Yu was amused by Meng Lang, and the two went downstairs laughing.
As Meng Lang walked, he took a bite of the sandwich. The runny fried egg yolk lingered between his teeth, and the meaty aroma of ham filled his mouth.
What a wonderful day...
Opening the water glass and taking a sip of the fragrant soy milk, Meng Lang asked casually, "Where is your sister?"
"Still there? She was sleeping. I was busy very late last night, so I didn’t call her...Uncle, are you disappointed that you didn’t meet my sister?”
"Pfft!" Meng Lang spurted out a mouthful of soy milk.
He coughed twice and glared at Xiaoyu, "Children, don't talk nonsense."
"Hehe!"
"Cough! So what... Xiaoyu, how are you studying at school?" Meng Lang casually changed the subject to hide his guilt.
"Uncle, don't you know everything? You are always first in the class." Xiaoyu blinked.
"I...I mean, don't be proud! Being first in the class doesn't mean anything. There are only a few people in a class, and being first in the grade is awesome!
You must know that there are people outside the world, and there is a sky outside the world!"< br>
Meng Lang also felt that his last question was a bit stupid, and immediately released his "adult domineering energy", preparing to have an educational conversation with Xiao Yu from a position of strength.
“But I am also number one in my grade.”
Meng Lang was choked.
"What class are you in?" he asked weakly.
"6 classes, a total of 312 people."
"Remember... I remember it quite clearly."
Meng Lang seemed to see the steaming blood rising from Xiaoyu's body. Invisible arrogance.
My "adult color domineering spirit" was mercilessly crushed by the "academic domineering spirit"...
When it came to dignity, Meng Lang felt it was necessary to maintain his "adult" persona.
"Actually, academic performance cannot explain everything. You must read good books, but also understand them. You must learn and apply them flexibly, and you cannot study hard. Let's do this. I will test you with a few questions."
“Okay!”
“Question: In the physical fitness test, you ran and ran, and finally passed the second place. Where is your current rank?”
“No. Two." Xiaoyu said without thinking.
"Well! This question is relatively basic. Please listen to the next question.
A snail fell at the bottom of a well. The well was 7 meters deep. One morning, it started to climb up. It could climb 3 meters during the day. At night, due to Rest and slide down 2 meters. How many days will it take to climb to the wellhead? "
"Fifth? God."
"It is known that putting an elephant into a box takes three steps: opening the box, putting the elephant in, and closing the box. How many steps do you need to put a giraffe into the box?"< br>
“Step 4, because we still have to take out the elephant.”
"0 is bigger than 2, 2 is bigger than 5, and 5 is bigger than 0. Why is that?"
"Because it's rock, paper, scissors."
Orz!
You are forcing me to use nuclear weapons!
"Haha! It seems that these elementary school questions are not difficult for you. Let me give you a more difficult adult question..."
"Uncle, why do you smile so sinisterly?"
"Really? Those are all small details. Please listen to the question!" Meng Lang took out his phone and opened the collection.
“Cecilia Zhang’s ex-husband is Nicholas Tse,
Tse Tingfeng’s ex-girlfriend is Wang Fei,
Wang Fei’s husband is Li Yapeng,
Li Yapeng’s ex-girlfriend is Qu Ying,
Qu Ying’s current boyfriend is Zhang Yadong,
Pu Shu has an ex-girlfriend named Zhou Xun,
Zhou Xun has an ex-boyfriend named Li Yapeng,
Wang Fei’s ex-husband was Dou Wei,
Dou Wei has a cousin named Dou Peng,
Dou Peng has an ex-girlfriend named Zhou Xun,
Dou Peng’s cousin is Dou Ying,
Dou Ying’s ex-husband is Zhang Yadong,
Zhang Yadong’s current girlfriend is Qu Ying,
Qu Ying’s ex-boyfriend’s name is Li Yapeng.
Excuse me! What is the relationship between Zhang Cecilia and Li Yapeng? "
Xiaoyu: "..."
"Uncle, you are bullying people..."
Meng Lang felt a little embarrassed when he saw Xiaoyu's aggrieved look.
"Ahem! In fact, uncle's real purpose is to tell you that the adult world is very complicated, so you still have a lot to learn, so you can't be proud and complacent, you know?"
"Oh~ expensive The circle is really messy..." Xiaoyu shook her head helplessly like a young adult.
Meng Lang sweated on his forehead, and he quickly changed the topic when the red light on the sidewalk turned green.
"Xiaoyu, have you ever thought about what you want to do when you grow up? Do you have any dreams?"
"Hmm... I haven't thought about it, but I must choose the one that is the most profitable. That kind of thing.”
"Making money? Why?" Meng Lang was stunned for a moment.
"Because it's hard for my sister to make money. If I can make a lot of money, my sister won't have to work so hard." Xiao Yu said matter-of-factly.
Meng Lang was helpless.
"Xiaoyu, actually you don't have to think about others. Of course making money is important, but it's also important that you like it.
Think about what you like, and then decide on one from a young age Maybe your dream will come true when you grow up?”
"I like..." Xiaoyu thought for a moment, "I like to be with my sister, so what dream should I choose?"
emm...
Is it severe sister dependence?
As Xiaoyu's "temporary guardian", Meng Lang feels that he has the responsibility and obligation to guide the flowers of the motherland on the right path of growth.
“Actually, we can think about the problem from another angle. You like to be with your sister and hope that she can live a better life, right?
So the most important thing for us is to make ourselves better and stronger. In this way, the more capable you are, the more help you can give to your sister? "
"Well..." Xiaoyu frowned and thought seriously for a moment.
"But if I make a lot of money, doesn't it mean that I am very good and powerful? ? "
"Uh..." Meng Lang didn't know how to refute for a while.
Because this view is almost the universal value today.
The money-only theory, laughing at the poor but not at prostitution, is the reality of this society.
He can actually understand why Xiao Yu has such a stubborn concept of money.
Due to family reasons, she had the concept of money in her young mind very early. Coupled with her premature maturity, she was able to see things more clearly than her peers.
From Xiao Yu's point of view, Meng Lang is really not qualified to preach to her about "lofty ideals" from the "moral high ground".
Because even not long ago, my imagination and judgment criteria for a successful life stopped at an annual salary of one million.
From this aspect, in the second grade of elementary school, Xiaoyu had already reached the life perception that Meng Lang had when he was 24...
Inexplicably, he felt sad.
And with Xiaoyu’s intelligence and hard work, the starting point of entering society in the future may be the end of his own struggle in the version of "A Tragic Life".
A poor student is qualified to dictate the life of a future top student?
However, after reading too many autobiographies, Meng Lang also gained a new understanding of life.
"Money is indeed an important criterion for judging strength, but many things cannot be solved with money. At this time, the importance of dreams is reflected."
"For example, what?"
"Like health, like life, like happiness..." Meng Lang sighed, expressing his feelings.
Seeing Xiaoyu's confused look, Meng Lang said calmly.
“For example, in ten years, I find out that I have cancer. Can money save me?
For example, a disaster suddenly occurs around me, and many people I care about lose their lives. Can money bring them back to life?
Another example is that twenty years later, I got Alzheimer's disease and slowly forgot all the people around me. Can money make me happy again?
So above money, we should have a more ambitious and noble pursuit. This is the dream!
It is harder than making money, but once you achieve your dream, you may be able to change the whole world! "
"Well..." Xiaoyu fell into deep thought.
"Uncle, what do you mean, I should become a doctor to save lives and heal the wounded?"
"Well! I think this dream is good!"
Meng Lang looked happy as a child.
"I seem to understand a little bit, uncle, what is your dream?" Xiaoyu asked curiously.
“Me?” Meng Lang was stunned for a moment.
Yes, my childhood dream fell apart after only half of it was completed. So what about my future dream?
He seems to have really not thought about this issue carefully.
After thinking seriously for a moment, he gradually gained some clarity.
“My dream...should be to see a world without sadness and more interesting.
At least, when I am old, the autobiography I will write...No It should be a tragedy..."
"Uncle's dream is so weird."
Hearing Xiao Yu's comment, Meng Lang also smiled.
Seeing that the two of them had reached the school gate, Xiao Yu suddenly stopped.
"Uncle, I have one last question."
"Well! You always have the last question, ask it." Meng Lang smiled.
"Um... is it profitable to be a doctor?"
Meng Lang's fatherly and kind smile froze on his face.
......
Watching Xiao Yu walk into the school, Meng Lang shook his head helplessly.
“The main reason that prevents us from living freely and sublimely... is the obsession with wealth...”
After saying something to himself, Meng Lang was about to leave when he suddenly noticed a familiar figure standing next to a car on the side of the road, smoking a cigarette.
"Hey! Captain Wang! Why are you here?" Meng Lang waved and said hello as he walked over there.
A few passers-by heard the sound and looked over.
Wang Zhaoping's expression suddenly changed when he heard the voice.
He turned around and saw Meng Lang walking slowly towards him, his face a little stiff.
But the next moment, he changed his expression to a happy one and threw away the cigarette butt in his hand.
"Director Meng! I've been waiting for you, hurry up! Come with me, the owners of the community are about to start a riot. If you don't go back, the brothers in our security team won't be able to stand it anymore. !”
Meng Lang was stunned.
Director Meng?
Am I just a consultant in name only?
Has this entered the system? (End of this chapter)
