Chapter 93 Death Resistance
The fragrance lingering on the tip of his nose made Meng Lang feel a little restless...
You say kiss, there are some beasts, you say no, the atmosphere is already heated up here.
Encountering a famous scene like this in a TV series, and meeting a woman like Lin Haitang.
How many men are there who are worse than animals?
What's more, my brother can kiss me, but I can't?
According to the normal development of urban romance dramas, maybe as soon as my mind is warmed up and we kiss each other, the relationship between the two parties will heat up quickly, and my sister-in-law will be just around the corner?
However... the brother who chose to be a beast has told Meng Lang with personal experience that that bad old man Destiny can't be so kind as to give you benefits...
[Everything seems to be Had the opposite effect? 】
A fleeting sentence in the book has already implicitly explained the consequences of being a beast.
It is possible that the other party thought that I was frivolous and got on the bus without buying a ticket. As a result, the goodwill accumulated before was quickly wiped out!
Gentleness is not necessarily a trap, but the trap must be gentle!
In the darkness, the two looked at each other for a short moment. Lin Haitang suddenly looked away and turned his head slightly.
"Can you...can you get up?"
Lin Haitang, who was pressed under him, spoke softly.
"Huh? Oh! Sorry!" Meng Lang quickly stood up.
"Sister, what happened?"
At this time, Xiao Yu, who heard the noise in the house, came out in confusion.
"Oh! It's okay, I dropped my chopsticks and accidentally hit the chair when I picked them up."
Lin Haitang stood up pretending to be nonchalant and smoothed his messy hair.
Xiao Yu looked strangely at the location of the two people and the chair that had fallen on the ground, and imagined the scene of the accident.
"You dropped your chopsticks and knocked over the uncle's chair when you picked them up?"
"Pfft!" Meng Lang couldn't help but break his guard.
At the same time, Lin Haitang's forced composure was also broken. Her expression froze.
“I’m going to wash the dishes.”
Meng Lang couldn't help laughing as he looked at the figure who turned around and hurried into the darkness.
If you don’t feel guilty, what excuse can you make? Isn’t this the three hundred taels of silver that are missing here?
This guy... is quite cute when he is nervous...
"Uncle, what's wrong with my sister?" Xiao Yu asked in a strange low voice.
Meng Lang thought for a while and said to her seriously.
"Xiao Yu, do you want to know the difference between growing up and maturing?"
"What is the difference?"
"The so-called growing up means that you know what happened, and the so-called maturity means that You deliberately said you didn’t know after knowing it, do you understand?”
“Uh...”
……
"Why don't you leave?"
"There are no candles in my room, and... I'm afraid of the dark!"
Lin Haitang looked at Meng Lang who was lingering on the sofa, Rolled his eyes.
She sat further away on the sofa, looking down at the materials in her hands by the candlelight, as if she didn't want to pay attention to him, as if she was making her position clear in this way.
Meng Lang looked at her little movements and felt funny in his heart. He picked up his phone and started scrolling.
Fortunately, his Juchang mobile phone still had 40% battery left, so he should be able to use it for three or four hours if he saved his money.
Open the scarves in the same city, and they are all talking about the power outage.
"There's a power outage, and I can't do anything. The moonlight is just right, and the wind is gentle. Go to sleep!"
"Mom, I saw the stars!"
"Continuous I have been working overtime for 7 days... Just when I felt like I was about to collapse, there was a sudden power outage! Ah~ It felt like a light piercing through the dark clouds in the sky, like first love..."
"It exploded~ I was just writing a novel at home and my computer suddenly went black without saving it! I have no love, Virgo has Mercury retrograde recently (f*ck)"
"Where is the power outage notice? Who ate it? ? Please spit it out!"
"I have no choice but to use the data to watch the news broadcast..."
"..."
After browsing for a long time, Meng Lang frowned. frowned.
"Strange, this power outage seems to be quite extensive? And it has not been restored for almost an hour."
For a big city like Su City, even a power outage is usually notified in advance. Usually it doesn't last too long.
"There seem to be a lot of old community renovation projects recently. Maybe there is a problem with the transformer station somewhere." Lin Haitang replied casually.
Meng Lang's attention immediately shifted.
“I thought you didn’t want to talk to me tonight?”
Lin Haitang rolled her eyes at him, "Childish."
Although it was not a compliment, Meng Lang noticed something different from usual in the change of tone and demeanor.
At least in the past, although the two of them were familiar with each other, Lin Haitang would never say "childish" if the level of intimacy was slightly higher.
When Meng Lang heard these two words, it was as if he heard a system prompt indicating an increase in his favorability.
The rehearsal of life is indeed not in vain!
"Hey! Let me ask a question!" Meng Lang approached Lin Haitang enthusiastically.
"You...what do you want to do!" Lin Haitang picked up a pillow to protect himself as if he was in a hurry.
Meng Lang was amused, "Why are you so nervous? What do I want to do? What did you do just now?"
Three consecutive words of "what?" took Lin Haitang a long time to react. Try to understand what the other person is saying.
“Ahem! Tell me, what do you want to ask?”
Lin Haitang felt a little relieved when she saw that Meng Lang didn't do anything drastic, but she still hugged the pillow and said cautiously.
Of course she knew her own charm, and of course she saw the struggle in the other person's eyes just now. She was afraid that if she had spoken out a few seconds later, the situation tonight might have gotten out of control.
Lin Haitang tried hard not to think about the scene just now, nor to recall the moment when he wanted to give up resistance...
"How much is your monthly salary?"
Lin Haitang was stunned for a moment.
She thought Meng Lang was going to ask something, but it turned out that he was asking about salary?
"Uh... the basic salary is 10,000, plus the company's bonuses and benefits, it's about 30,000 per month. Why do you ask?" Lin Haitang didn't hide anything.
"Thirty...thirty thousand?" Meng Lang couldn't help but be speechless.
If he hadn't made a fortune by relying on foresight, such a salary would be completely unimaginable to someone like him with a monthly salary of three thousand.
“With such a high salary, why do you still have to sing in bars and make yourself so tired?”
It turned out that was what he wanted to ask.
Lin Haitang's face dimmed slightly, he glanced at Meng Lang, and finally spoke slowly.
“My father’s business failed and he owed a lot of money to others. If he wanted Xiaoyu’s custody rights, he would have to pay him a sum of money every month.
My mother’s pension , Xiaoyu’s education expenses, our living expenses... Thirty thousand yuan is not much for us.”
Meng Lang was silent when he heard this.
At the same time, I felt a little disgusted with the man I had never met.
Not only did he fail to fulfill his obligations as a father, he actually used his custody rights to ask for money? What kind of scum are these?
After thinking about it, he finally couldn't help but speak.
“Although under normal circumstances, brothers and sisters are raised by their parents, and there is no relationship of rights and obligations between them.
However, under certain conditions, between brothers and sisters, and between brothers and sisters, A conditional obligation to support arises during the period
Brothers and sisters who can afford it have the obligation to support minor brothers and sisters whose parents are unable to support them, and they can also fight for custody rights. "
Lin Haitang glanced at him and smiled faintly, but said nothing.
After Meng Lang said the words, he also realized that he was a little stupid.
Even for an amateur like himself If Lin Haitang really wanted to seize the custody rights, how could she not do anything about it? She just had to be ruthless and start a lawsuit with her father.
However, it is not difficult to win the lawsuit. The difficult thing is to convince yourself to cut off the last trace of blood and family ties with your own hands...
I couldn't help but sigh in my heart.
Sure enough, those who can hurt you are the ones you once loved.
"Sorry, I took it for granted."
"It doesn't matter, let's talk about you." Lin Haitang didn't want to mention it more, so he changed the topic.
"Although your side job is a bit special, do you want to always work in insurance sales? Don't you have any career plan?"
Career plan? Meng Lang laughed dumbly.
"Yes, I have a very long career plan. Maybe you can call it career transformation."
"What's the difference?" Lin Haitang listened naturally. I don't know that this is a homophone.
“My career plan is like a tortoise, unhurried, steady, slow, leisurely, calm until death.
Simply put, just stay alive! "
"Poof! Lin Haitang couldn't help but laugh. "No one would plan their career like this." ”
But she didn’t know that Meng Lang was really feeling this.
Living long is a victory for him... and many "Meng Lang" !
“Why not? You are blinding your eyes. What ordinary people call career planning is nothing more than a short-term plan of ten or twenty years. I think the real career plan should be like that of Qin Shihuang! ”
"Qin Shi Huang? What does this have to do with Qin Shi Huang?" Lin Haitang was confused.
“What do you think was the original driving force behind Qin Shihuang’s desire to unify the six kingdoms and become one emperor through the ages?” Meng Lang asked.
Lin Haitang thought for a while, "It's the desire for power! The people who desire power the most are the ones most likely to gain power!"
"Well! It comes from Russell's "On Power", it's very Insightful." Meng Lang smiled.
“Power is essentially human, financial and resources. The pursuit of power can also be seen as the pursuit of resources. So after Qin Shihuang unified the six countries, at the end of his life, he did something else What?”
Lin Haitang thought seriously for a moment, "Uh... pursuing immortality?"
"That's right!" Meng Lang laughed.
“You see, what this emperor of all ages pursued at the end of his life was immortality.
If his life is regarded as a complete career plan, then you say, unify the six kingdoms Is the country just a five-year plan?
The purpose of his struggle for most of his life is to obtain the human, financial and other resources needed to pursue immortality.
His ultimate goal in life...is actually to stay alive!
So you said, to summarize his career plan in this life, should it be called career transformation? "
Lin Haitang couldn't help being amused, "How could you explain it like this.
Besides, you are obviously changing the concept. Even if Qin Shihuang pursued immortality in his later years, he at least had the ambition to unify the six countries, but he was not like the tortoise you mentioned, steady, slow, and peaceful. . "
Hearing this, Meng Lang couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
You have never experienced the dramatic fluctuations in life span between 3 days and 21 years.
Otherwise you will surely understand what is true and plain...
He shook his head.
"Two thousand years ago, how is it the same as now?
You want to summon a large number of alchemists to make elixirs for you, and you want to send Xu Fu and three thousand boys and girls to find the fairy mountain, but there is no How about strong human and financial support?
In the age of cold weapons, the fastest way to obtain these things... is to grab them!
By snatching away all the other six countries, wouldn’t it mean that they were unified?
It’s different now. There are no six major countries, but there are five major gangsters. Everyone has a bunch of nuclear weapons at home.
Anyone who wants to unify the earth by force must be prepared to end the game together if he is not careful.
So in this era, anyone has lost the opportunity to use force to forcibly integrate resources. There are only two ways to plunder resources, one is wealth and the other is technology!
These two are complementary to each other and can transform each other.
Both wealth and technology cannot be obtained through violent means. They must be reasonable and legal, and compete within the existing framework. Isn’t the ideal state to be stable?
If Qin Shihuang traveled to the present, instead of thinking about how to unify the five gangsters, it would be more realistic to think about how to make money and how to improve the biotechnology level of the earth...
Ugh! Why do you look at me like that? "
While Meng Lang was talking, he suddenly noticed that Lin Haitang opposite him was looking at him more and more strangely.
"So...Is this why you want evergreen creatures?
The organization behind you...want to live forever?"
Uh...
Meng Lang was stunned for a moment. Lived.
I am just using Qin Shihuang as an example to give you a chestnut!
You are so imaginative...
emm...
The next moment, Meng Lang fell into deep thought.
Hmm! Miss Haitang, you have such an open mind that you caught me off guard!
Immortality? You have to say you don't want to, what short-lived ghost doesn't want to? You have to think about it, that is indeed what I just thought about...
It was as if I had an enlightenment in my mind, and I had a sense of enlightenment that I suddenly found the "organizational program"!
Yes! Is there a conflict between curing illnesses and rescuing people and pursuing immortality?
No conflict at all!
Relatively speaking, curing diseases and saving people is only a five-year plan, while immortality is a thousand-year plan!
If I could live forever, wouldn't I be able to realize my dream of "A Thousand Years of Waiting"?
Not to mention an army of 100,000, I can go to the "end of the universe" single-handedly to show you!
Listen to it, the Assassin's League was founded with the intention of defending humanity, the Akatsuki Organization was founded with the intention of world peace, and the Avengers was founded with the intention of saving the universe. All of them are incredible.
As for my "All Things Gathering Together", oh, the original intention of its establishment was to treat Alzheimer's disease?
If you tell me, you will probably laugh your enemies to death!
The price should not drop!
Meng Lang had an "I understand" expression on his face, which made Lin Haitang confused.
I think I just used a question, not a statement.
Is this question...so thought-provoking?
"What's wrong with you?" Lin Haitang waved his hand in front of Meng Lang's eyes.
"Huh? Oh! It's okay. By the way, what did you just ask me?"
"Actually, it doesn't matter if you can't tell me. After all, I don't really care about secrets like this..."
"No! If you do, please be sure to ask again!" Meng Lang looked determined.
"Uh...I'm asking about the purpose of your organization..."
"That's right! The original intention of our organization was to 'resist death'!"
Lin Haitang : "..." (End of this chapter)
