Chapter 1317 He Chen's Longzhong Plan!

"Doesn't it feel hopeless?"

Looking at the speechless Shi Xiaomeng, He Chen smiled and spoke his mind: "Despair is the right thing to do! You don't have the resources of a rich second-generation like the crazy guy, yet you keep dreaming. It would be strange if you weren't desperate!"

You've been led astray by him and forgotten your original aspirations!
Think carefully about what you were thinking when you first came to Beijing from your hometown!
Perhaps it's just a small house!

But you've never felt this anxious and urgent before!

How could a graduate from out of town with no savings dare to dream of buying a house in Beijing and starting a family after only three years of work?
Isn't it because you have a rich second-generation like Crazy who has everything you could want, which has raised your expectations?
What you need to do now is to figure out what you want, whether you can achieve it reliably, and most importantly, whether your childhood sweetheart is among these goals.

If so, have a good talk with her; maybe her views are completely different from yours!

Maybe she just likes her hometown?

“Go back to my hometown? No way!” Shi Xiaomeng blurted out when He Chen brought up going back to his hometown again.

"Why not?" He Chen smiled knowingly: "Is it because you feel that you finally went to the big city to work hard, but you didn't make any progress and instead went back in a sorry state, which is very embarrassing?"

Is saving face really that important?

Do you live a very prestigious life in Beijing?

Have you ever encountered a landlord giving you the sideways look or speaking to you in a sarcastic or unfriendly manner when you rent a place?

You take the bus, and you don't encounter Tongtianwen calling you a stinking out-of-town beggar?
You walk down the street, staring blankly at the bustling traffic, and don't encounter anyone asking to check your temporary residence permit.
Do these things really make you look good?
You might think that losing face in front of outsiders is not as bad as losing face in front of your hometown folks, but why bother?

It's foolish to suffer for the sake of others' opinions, to force yourself to endure hardship when it's not necessary!
Try to think more positively, and you'll feel much better!

"It's not just about saving face; it's not so easy to go back to your hometown," Shi Xiaomeng shook his head.

He is indeed very concerned about his image.

Putting aside everything else, he was just a few points away from getting into Tsinghua or Peking University, which was a source of absolute pride in his hometown.

If I don't make some progress, it will be really hard to face my hometown folks.

Because of how much his hometown elders valued him and gave him face, if he goes back like this, it could very well be the other extreme, with people pointing fingers and gossiping. Just thinking about the pressure is suffocating.

Even if he could accept it, his parents are too old to bear it.

He didn't want them to suffer this either.

“I know!” He Chen nodded: “Prominent families stay in their hometowns, while poor families go to other places! Those who are not as good as you, but stay in their hometowns because of their good family background, all became Brahmins in the county town.”

Your family is poor and you have no one to rely on, so you have no choice but to come to the big city to work hard and make a name for yourself.

In big cities, there are not only endless possibilities, but also a safety net; at the very least, you can find a decent job.

Upon returning home, it became difficult to even find a job, as they were all taken by the Brahmins of the county town.

"He Chen, you really know your stuff!" Shi Xiaomeng looked at He Chen with admiration.

He subconsciously knew these principles and concerns, but not as thoroughly as He Chen had explained them.

"But like I said, it depends on how you think about it!" He Chen laughed. "My suggestion that you go back doesn't mean you should just slink back like that!"

I still have to go through all the trouble of pulling strings to find a job!
Instead, you need to take the exam and go back!
With your grades, as long as you prepare well, getting first place in the written exam shouldn't be difficult.

With your school and experience, passing the interview shouldn't be difficult.

Once you've made it ashore, whether in Beijing or your hometown, few people will look down on you. Even a Brahmin in a county town is only at this level.

You can have a high quality of life, a high social status, and you can also spend time with your parents and have all kinds of friends. You can live a very comfortable life!

Why squeeze into a small apartment of just over 30 square meters when you can live in a fully furnished house of 100 or 200 square meters?
Even after things have completely stabilized, and they've fully integrated into the local Brahmin community, built their own networks, further struggles will not only be possible, but will be much easier and simpler, leading to a brighter future.

"How so?" Shi Xiaomeng looked at He Chen with a sincere, inquiring gaze.

He was filled with despair after He Chen's words and had almost resigned himself to his fate. But He Chen said that he could live a comfortable life and even have a bright future, which made him excited again.

He knew everything that He Chen knew.

What he didn't know, He Chen also knew.

He Chen had thought of everything, including things he hadn't.

In this situation, he completely trusted He Chen's words.

“Your hometown is in Yunnan!” He Chen reminded him with a smile, “It’s a picturesque tourist area, very suitable for developing tourism.”

Once you've established yourself back in your hometown, with local resources and connections in Beijing, you'll be able to attract customers. If you combine the two and start a guesthouse business, you'll make a fortune!

It's definitely better than you struggling to make ends meet as a migrant worker in Beijing, working for someone else!

At that time, you can really make money standing up, and it won't interfere with anything.

Minimal risk, highest potential!

If things go well in the future, it's not impossible for him to not only become a crazy rich kid, but also to rival or even surpass his crazy father!
This is a development plan that's more suitable for you!

Upon hearing He Chen's words, Shi Xiaomeng suddenly stood up, looking at He Chen with the same excitement as Liu Bei upon hearing Zhuge Liang's Longzhong Plan, momentarily at a loss for words.

The more desperate we were before, the more excited we are now.

It turns out his life wasn't so bleak after all.

It turns out that his desire to strive was not completely blocked; there was still another direction.

Previously, he blindly forged ahead, always feeling full of enthusiasm and ability, but repeatedly encountered setbacks, just like Liu Bei in the Three Kingdoms, who was very powerful in battle but always ran into obstacles and could not build a foundation or achieve anything.

But then Zhuge Liang presented the Longzhong Plan, a customized business plan, and everything became clear.

He is not Liu Bei, and He Chen is not Zhuge Liang.

More importantly, he didn't make three visits to Zhuge Liang's thatched cottage. He treated He Chen with great courtesy and repeatedly begged him. As soon as they met, He Chen opened his heart to him, first reminding him, and then directly giving him the limited edition of the Longzhong Plan when he first came to him.

What profound affection this is!

How could he not be moved!

He was the kind of person who kept a record of every favor, and he felt that the favor He Chen had done was so numerous that he couldn't fill an entire notebook.

"Don't get excited!" Seeing his reaction, He Chen knew exactly what he was thinking and teased him with a smile: "No matter how good the plan is, it still requires people to work hard step by step! It's not that easy! And like I said, you should think it through yourself first, and then discuss it properly with your childhood sweetheart."

As for being grateful to me?
Then don't keep me in your favor list.

I also have something to ask for!
