Chapter 517: Trouble Caused by Greed

"You want to plot against me, but your methods are not smart. In the end, you won't get any advantage. Why did you come here?" He Ning pressed his neck with a mocking look on his face.

He Shuo pursed his lips, shouting unwillingly in his heart, glaring at He Ning as if he wanted to cut him into pieces. However, in front of Comrade Old He, he had no choice but to endure and not fight back, in order to fit in with the image of a sensible and well-behaved person in his father's mind.

He Ning looked at his forbearing expression and let go of his hand in boredom.

"My temple is too small to accommodate you. Please leave quickly."

Comrade Lao He knew that things had gotten to this point and there was no point in staying any longer, so he snorted and turned around to leave.

As soon as he stepped out of the room, he saw Dai Qing standing in the corridor. He was stunned for a moment. He was familiar with this girl, but he couldn't remember her name.

He Shu covered his face and followed behind with his head down. When he looked up, he saw Dai Qing leaning against the guardrail. Her eyes flashed, and she pulled Lao He's arm and spoke in a low voice.

“This is my brother’s girlfriend.”

As Lao He listened, the veins on his forehead couldn't help but twitch again. He stared at Dai Qing from head to toe, his eyes unconsciously revealing a hint of disdain.

"Although times have changed, girls should still behave themselves and not hang out with boys. Once your reputation is ruined, it will be difficult for you to move forward in the future."

Hearing this, Dai Qing raised her eyebrows and couldn't help but chuckle.

"It is said that a person of integrity has nothing to fear. I know what I am doing. It is better for this comrade to take care of himself first."

This man's wives and concubines have messy patterns and dull complexions, and the relationship between husband and wife is in chaos.

The Fude Palace is dim and there is no hope for official career.

"You should have evidence when you speak and rules when you do things. It is not like a mature elder to accuse someone without any evidence and just based on one side of the story."

Comrade Lao He's face darkened when he heard this. It would have been fine if his son didn't give him face, but he didn't expect that even an outsider would dare to bully him.

"What about your upbringing?"

"My education is only for those who deserve respect. Those who start to make random accusations with prejudice are not worthy of respect."

Dai Qing looked at him with sympathy in her eyes.

"I'd like to kindly remind you that you should be more diligent in your work recently. Don't take advantage of your age and waste time. Otherwise, it's hard to say whether you can keep your job."

Comrade Lao He was stunned when he heard this.

"What do you mean?"

"I'm a fortune teller. My specialty is fortune telling. Judging from your face, your work has not been going well recently. It's almost like you've been idle. Your position is already in jeopardy."

When talking about work, Comrade Lao He's face tightened. The job he had been in charge of had indeed been replaced by someone else.

Moreover, the leader assigned him several college students to lead.

He was also reminded to give more opportunities to young people and let him train new people as soon as possible. He originally thought that the leaders had taken a fancy to him and asked him to help train talents.

Now that I think about it, are the people he brings going to take over his job?

Thinking of this, Comrade Lao He shuddered suddenly.

The day before yesterday, the leader suddenly talked to him and told him not to be affected by the mood at home and to do his job well. If it really doesn't work, the logistics department is relatively free, and if he wants to go, it can be arranged.

Logistics staff are idle. Every day they just drink a cup of tea, smoke a cigarette, and read a newspaper for half a day, and then go home.

Although he had less time, his salary also went down. Now his family of three depended on his salary to make ends meet. If he was transferred to the logistics department, he would be even more strapped for cash in the future.

Thinking about work, Comrade Lao He completely lost the desire to preach. He walked down the stairs in two or three steps and left.

He Shu had been standing by, listening to Dai Qing's tone, staring at her blankly, as if trying to discern the truth from her expression.

Dai Qing looked him straight in the eyes and smiled.

"Although you were born in a shady family, you would have had a good life if you had behaved yourself. But you have an evil mind and are too greedy. If a person is greedy, angry, or foolish, his future path will only become narrower and narrower until he is forced into a dead end."

Some people are born with resentment. After getting one, they want two, or even three. As their greed grows, their temperament becomes more and more distorted.

Some people are born to repay favors, some are born to collect debts.

Those who only ask for things without giving anything in return are definitely very naughty children.

He Shu looked at her in surprise and couldn't help but laugh softly.

"What do you know?"

"Although I don't understand your thoughts, there is one thing you must understand: if it's yours, you can't avoid it, and if it's not yours, you can't get it no matter how hard you try."

Dai Qing was somewhat helpless about this person.

"You are a very contradictory person. On the one hand, you want to get He Ning to your father, but on the other hand, you don't want them to be too close to each other, and then ignore you. It's a bit ugly and childish."

Anyone who treats others as fools will eventually suffer the consequences.

When his thoughts were exposed by Dai Qing, He Shu's face trembled a few times and his expression was a little distorted.

"My eldest brother is originally a child of the He family. What's wrong with our family of four being reunited? I never wanted to compete with him for the position of eldest son. I just wanted to persuade him to go home. You don't understand my good intentions."

"Your good intentions are mixed with calculations. From the beginning to the end, you and your son just want to live a life without worries about food and clothing. Do you think I am the one who got taken advantage of?"

As they were talking, He Ning walked out of the room with an indifferent look.

"You are right to want your mother to live a good life, but your calculation is wrong. It is better to rely on yourself than on others. Those who put their hopes on others will fail miserably in the end."

"We are destined not to live in harmony in this life."

In order not to worry his mother, he was very polite by not driving them both insane.

"This is the last time. If there is a next time, you and your mother will not have a stable life, and your studies will probably come to an end."

Hearing this and looking at He Ning's serious eyes, He Shu's heart trembled. Everything was planned well, why didn't he follow his plan?

He Ning leaned against the door frame and flexed his wrists.

"If you keep going on like this, your family will be in dire straits."

What a shame! Dad's job is really in crisis. Isn't a job in a government agency a stable job?

He didn't understand and couldn't figure it out. Looking at his father who had disappeared long ago, he hurried downstairs to catch up with him.

Finally, Dai Qing looked at He Ning.

"I'm pissed."

"I used to be a lot worse than this. They can't make me angry, but I'm a little annoyed." He Ning leaned against the door and raised his hand to pinch his eyebrows. "I mainly don't want to worry my mother."

"The family is not harmonious and everything is going wrong. Maybe they won't have time to trouble you anymore after the three of them grow up." Both of them looked gloomy. Everything was going wrong and they were plagued by troubles, so how could they have time to cause trouble?
