Rebirth 2010, the best

Chapter 53 Daughter

Chapter 53 Daughter
At noon, I found a private restaurant recommended by Hu Li.

Private kitchen is a place that specializes in making local dishes of Shanghai.

Lu Yao thought it was delicious, but for Xu Ruochu, that bowl of bacon rice was not as delicious as Lu Yao's mother's...

After eating, Hu Li called Wang Tianshu directly and made an appointment to have dinner together in the evening.

By the way, call Wei Qianqian and Wang Tianming.

Wang Tianshu agreed readily.

After the dinner, when getting in the car, Lu Yao asked:
"Boss Xu, Sister Li, where are we going?"

Hearing this, Xu Ruochu asked Hu Li:
"Where are you going?"

"Just take me... back to the hotel. I'm a little tired and I'm going to rest in the afternoon."

"it is good."

Lu Yao nodded.

But Xu Ruochu was speechless.

But they didn't say much. The car drove all the way to the hotel, dropped her off, and agreed to pick her up in the evening. Lu Yao then took Xu Ruochu to start this half-day work.

There is nothing much to say about her work. In Lu Yao's opinion, although Xu Ruochu is a loser in life, when it comes to work... this woman is incredibly smart.

After a busy afternoon, it was already past 4:30.

Xu Ruochu asked Lu Yao to take her back to Tan Palace.

In the first half of the journey, Xu Ruochu didn't say much. Instead, he leaned back in the back seat and closed his eyes to rest.

But when she passed the congested intersection on the elevated road, she suddenly said:
"Have you really considered what Hu Li told you to do to take revenge on Hua?"

Lu Yao glanced at her through the rearview mirror and said with a smile:

"Did Mr. Xu and Sister Li say that?"

"Ah."

Xu Ruochu nodded and continued:
"Actually, in a sense, I agree with her point of view. Choosing a school is just the beginning."

Lu Yao naturally understood this principle.

But from the very beginning, Fuhua was not within his consideration.

Perhaps because they had more experiences in common, the "well-behaved" brother in front of Hu Li said slowly:
"I'm very grateful to Sister Li, and I know why she arranged this dinner tonight. To put it bluntly... I can see that many people want to curry favor with her, and I'm very grateful that she arranged a dinner for others just because of me. But... how should I put it, I also understand that in a person's life, 30% is fate, 70% is luck, and the remaining 90% is the support of noble people."

At this point, Lu Yao paused and shook his head:

"But in these professional fields, I still have to rely on myself. Even if others take care of me for Sister Li's sake, I still have to show my true ability in the end. And in my current situation, to be honest, Mr. Xu, whether I choose TV University, Qinghua or Fuhua, the difference in undergraduate education is not that big. I also know that if those two can take care of me for Sister Li's sake, my path in Fuhua will be smooth. But now I am actually more concerned about my family."

"family?"

"Ah."

Lu Yao nodded and sighed, which was rare:
"Alas... Mr. Xu, to be honest, my biggest wish right now is not about academics. It's that I hope my parents can be healthy... My dad came back the day before yesterday, and when we were having dinner together, I discovered for the first time... that his hair has turned white. And it's not just one or two strands, but a whole bunch... All the roots are white."

"Is it because you worry too much?"

"Actually, I'm tired. Being a truck driver is too tired. Before my sister came back, before she told me she wanted to go abroad, I hadn't thought about it. But since my sister came back and told me she wanted to go abroad, and then I look at my dad's white hair, my wish now is to make my parents feel more relaxed. In fact... To be honest, we had already discussed it. Logically speaking, yesterday was the time when I finished work, so we waited for my grades to come out before going on a trip..."

Xu Ruochu nodded slightly.

She could probably guess it.

His attitude change was very abrupt, there must be some reasons behind it.

And now the truth is out.

"But my current idea is that I don't want my father to be so tired, and I don't want my mother to worry about our children. But this kind of change takes time, and I don't have this ability yet. So, I can only try my best to cater to their wishes. When I was communicating with my father, his tone was actually very firm: Qinghua, just go to Qinghua..."

Xu Ruochu could tell that the boy's thoughts at this moment were no longer as pure as before.

Although it is unclear whether his own ideals have changed, as far as the current situation is concerned, "family" is the highest position in his heart.

"Lu Yao, my father gave me an example when I was a child. Do you want to listen?"

she said suddenly.

Lu Yao nodded:
"Mr. Xu, please tell me."

"I won't tell you why I gave this example. This example is about a day when a superior's son asked the superior: Dad, can I be a superior in the future? The superior nodded: Of course. His son asked him again: Then can I be a chief? The superior shook his head and said to his son: No, because he also has a son."

Lu Yao was stunned.

The officer's son said: "But I want to be the chief." The officer told him: "Then you can marry the chief's daughter."

"..."

Lu Yao's mouth twitched.

I wonder if the fairy tales and fables in your family are so real?

Xu Ruochu continued in a rational voice:
"The reason I told you this example is very simple. If you just want to make your family happy, Qinghua is naturally the best choice. However, the current situation is that you are unable to change some objective facts, but you want to take the initiative to help your family share the responsibility. A man who has such a responsibility is naturally excellent. But at the same time, when your ideals are no longer pure and are infected by external forces, you will naturally consider more and more."

"Ha~"

Suddenly, Lu Yao chuckled:
"So I'm going to marry the chief's daughter... just like Sister Li thought. Maybe she didn't even think so, because for Sister Li, this kind of thing might just be a piece of cake. But she introduced the "chief's daughter" to me, right?"

"Yes, and no. What I mean is that since you already have a spirit of dedication, you might as well think about the long term. Fuhua may just be your superior to you, not the chief's daughter. But before you get to know the chief's daughter, you must ensure that you can grow up healthily and shine upward." Having said this, she paused and continued:
"As long as you are good enough, you don't need to look for the chief's child. The chief's daughter will naturally come to you."

"So, Mr. Xu also thinks Fuhua is more suitable for me?"

"..."

Xu Ruochu's lips moved slightly.

But after two seconds of silence, he said:

"It's not necessarily people like Wang Tianshu and Wang Tianming. But... from what I know about you, Fuhua is more suitable than TVU and Qinghua. To be realistic, in terms of educational resources, Qinghua requires you to take the initiative to find them, but with these people here at Fuhua, it will be a natural thing for you to get them. And just like you said before, the reason you want to go to TVU is because the academic atmosphere there is more intense. But Qinghua is different. Its international influence means that it is destined to focus more on providing you with an international stage. But I see that you seem to sneer at the international stage... If you want to do research in China in a down-to-earth manner and have more platforms to showcase yourself, Fuhua is better than TVU."

"..."

Lu Yao was speechless for a moment.

But I could also hear that she seemed to think Fuhua was better.

Or it could be said that it is a difference in thinking. Everyone has a different starting point.

But this kind of thing cannot be accomplished overnight, and since the multiple-choice question, which was originally a single-choice question, now has an additional item, he needs to think carefully about it.

In fact, when Hu Li revealed Wang Tianshu's background last night, he had already realized the power behind the other party.

They are the students of the founder of China's semiconductor industry.

Although academic cliques may sound bad, just like feudal families, anyone in the academic field cannot escape them.

Just like what Xu Ruochu said, there may be some resources that you can't get even if you ask for them, but others are too lazy to do anything or even look at them.

These have nothing to do with talent. If you have it, you will have it naturally. If you don’t have it… then you have to work hard to get it.

It's actually quite unfair.

But there is more than just one unfair thing in this world.
After his rebirth, his greatest need is actually to be the first in everything.

From this point of view...

After a moment of silence, he nodded:
"Thank you Mr. Xu for your advice. I will consider it."

The moment he heard this, a hint of joy flashed across Xu Ruochu's eyes that he himself didn't even notice.

But at the same time, it's a bit ridiculous.

At the beginning, you were so sure of what I said...

So I couldn't help but say something that made me want to slap myself after I said it:
"Are you wavering so quickly?"

After saying it, I regretted it.

I thought to myself, why did I say such a thing?
And Lu Yao also chuckled:
"Ha~ I'm not wavering, I just need to think about it carefully and talk to my family about it. And..."

"and?"

"...Then we have to see if the chief's daughter is pretty. If she is pretty, forget it. But if she is not."

At this point, he shook his head:
"If she's not a great beauty, then the chief's price isn't quite enough."

"..."

Xu Ruochu's mouth twitched.

But as she leaned back in her chair, she suddenly thought of something, and her eyes changed as if she had discovered a prey.

……

Garden of Fortune.

"Mr. Xu, your dinner..."

"Just eat a banana. I'm trying to keep in shape lately. Go pick up Hu Li."

"Okay. I'm leaving then?"

"Um... Lu Yao."
