Chapter 1291 I Can’t Get Drunk
At 9 o'clock in the evening, Shu Huizhan arrived.
He was holding a piece of pig's head in his left hand and a bottle of wine in his right hand. He looked a little haggard, but his overall condition was still good.
This shock has had a huge impact on him. Even if he continues to preside over the work, no one knows whether he can make further progress in the future.
"Brother, I'm sorry for getting you implicated." Lei Zhen said apologetically.
He was implicated in this matter. Even if nothing has happened now, Shu Huizhan will slowly leave the center of power as time goes by.
"What are you talking about? What is coming will eventually come. If it weren't for you, I would have lost the chance to take this position when our old man passed away." Shu Huizhan said with a smile.
It's easy to say, and it's the truth.
When people leave, the tea gets cold. When Mr. Shu left, it meant that Shu Huizhan stopped making progress.
Although the family's glory is still there, the old ones have passed away, and it is useless to fight for it again. However, the appearance of Lei Zhen gives him a push.
"Are you unwilling?" Lei Zhen asked.
"Of course I'm not willing to give up. I still have many ideals and ambitions." Shu Huizhan told the truth.
Having reached this position, no one is willing to just leave like this.
Whether it is for family development or one's own ideals and ambitions, a certain amount of space is needed to display them, otherwise everything is empty talk.
"What if it really doesn't work?" Lei Zhen laughed.
"So I came to ask you. If you say yes, then yes. If you say no, then no." Shu Huizhan opened the wine and said with a smile, "We are family and we should not have different opinions. The higher-ups asked me to advise you, haha."
This is a very well-written statement. The first half of the sentence clearly states one's attitude, and the second half points out the above ideas, but the overall meaning is that you and I are a family.
Should I persuade him or not?
I didn't say I would persuade you, nor did I say I wouldn't persuade you.
"It depends on how deep the bondage will be in the future. I hope they understand a little bit." Lei Zhen said.
This is his attitude. If the higher-ups are still so ignorant, then there will be no fun and Shu Huizhan will lose his position.
"What they did was so dishonest. They didn't even do basic maintenance. It's really disheartening." Shu Huizhan shook his head.
Everyone has a scale in their heart to measure how well things are done.
You can ignore it, but sometimes you have to ask, you have to care, and what needs to be maintained must be maintained, instead of leaving it alone.
It is only when someone dies that we should reach out.
"Actually, this wasn't their original intention; it was a helpless act." Lei Zhen raised his wine glass and sighed, "When things get lopsided, only sacrificing the kindest person can bring peace."
Shu Huizhan didn't say anything. He couldn't open his mouth to make a more in-depth comment, even though he knew that his brother-in-law was very wronged and almost lost everything.
These can only be kept in mind because of different identities.
"And once the kindest people are unwilling to sacrifice anymore, guess what will happen? They will be accused of destroying harmony, and all their previous sacrifices will be wiped out. Isn't that ridiculous?" Lei Zhen raised his head and drank.
Although his face was full of smiles, it was full of sadness.
I have done so many things from beginning to end. Although my behavior is unruly, everything I have done is for this big family.
You can say that Lei Zhen is arrogant, extravagant, and licentious, or that he has low moral character, or that he has committed evil, but you cannot deny what he has done for this family.
"But I don't care. Do you know why? Because this is my roots, my home, and I want to make it better, even if I'm ignored, hurt, or betrayed."
"Even dogs don't mind being poor, and no matter how hard you try, they won't leave. How much more so humans? I, Lei Zhen, can endure grievances, withstand pressure, and tolerate suspicion, because time will reveal everything."
"So I don't feel bad, not at all! Big brother, let's drink, hahahaha..."
Amidst laughter, Lei Zhen gulped down wine, as if alcohol was the only way to numb himself at this moment, and there was no other good way.
Sunny days could not soothe his heartache, and drizzle could not sympathize with his situation. Only strong liquor could make him feel better by burning from the inside out.
"Lei Zhen, drink less."
"I can drink a thousand cups without getting drunk! Big brother, let's drink!"
“…”
It was late at night, Shu Huizhan told Yu Qing to take good care of the drunk Lei Zhen, then got up and said goodbye.
The wind outside was a bit chilly, which made him subconsciously wrap himself up. Standing downstairs and looking up at the lighted room, he couldn't help but sigh and shake his head.
Many things cannot be explained clearly or explained plainly.
…
Lei Zhen woke up and became conscious the moment Shu Huizhan left the house.
"Husband, you're not drunk?" Yu Qing asked in surprise.
"Even two more pounds won't make me drunk." Lei Zhen sat up and said, "Besides, how could I possibly get drunk when something so serious is happening right now?"
"So you... don't trust my brother?" Yu Qing asked.
As someone who had experienced a lot in the political career, he immediately realized the reason.
“You can trust people, but you can’t trust power.”
"There's nothing wrong with Big Brother. He has ideals and ambitions, and he's upright and honest, but his power is too terrifying."
"Once anyone is influenced by power, they will undergo fundamental changes. Do you think Big Brother is here to persuade me? No, he wants to understand my thoughts, even though that is not his original intention."
Lei Zhen has his own judgment model when it comes to trust.
He can trust those who like money, and he can also trust those who like women.
But he will not trust anyone who is obsessed with power, no matter who the other person is, because other things are easy to satisfy after getting addicted, but this thing is a bottomless pit after getting addicted.
No matter how high the position is, it will never satisfy you.
If one reaches a high enough level, like the First Emperor, who believed that all under heaven was his land and all the people in the world were his subjects, then one will start seeking immortality.
"But don't worry. Big Brother knows what to do." Lei Zhen laughed. "He'll find the most comfortable position for himself. My previous words of grief and indignation were half true and half false. In this world, if you want to be a good person, you need a butcher's knife. If you want to be loyal to your country, you need skills. Otherwise, these traitors won't let you feel comfortable. Haha."
"Husband, you see things so clearly!" Yu Qing's eyes were full of admiration.
Different times have different levels of awakening.
In the past, people believed that as long as they worked hard to do good deeds, they would be good. However, the reality is whether the good deeds they did affected the interests of others. If so, not only would they not be considered good people, but they would also be condemned by thousands of people.
As for the fact that one needs to be skillful to serve the country, this is even more of a reality, because there is a saying that appears very frequently: There is no way to serve the country.
These four simple words have made many passionate young men lose heart. So if you want to serve your country, you have to have the skills. You can't just serve your country if you want to.
"Xiao Shuiwa, bring the child here tomorrow and I'll arrange for you to leave."
"Where are you going?"
"Stay by my side."
"Honey, this is great!"
"Have a good rest. I still have to go to Hong Kong."
“…”
Take them all away one by one.
For Lei Zhen, remaining indifferent and allowing things to develop is the greatest malice towards him!
