I was forced to start the second round because I was raised in poverty

Chapter 184 I’ll leave it to Brother Tianyan!

Zhang Lekang lowered his head and remained silent. The more he listened, the more ashamed he felt, and the more he felt that his education was a failure.

He was even more furious after seeing Zhang Yangwen's luggage list in the information record:

"This...why is he still carrying toys?!"

"Is this the state of working hard in Jingzhou?!"

"I'm going to smash all his toys when I get home!"

Zhang Lekang roared hysterically.

This brat drinks Paris Baguette and Starbucks every day, and he’s never even eaten candy beans!

"Hey, Lao Zhang, this is your fault. How could you smash a child's toys?"

"Have you ever seen those 'education experts' online who hire tutors and start by smashing children's toys? How much psychological harm does this do to children?"

Zhang Lekang made no secret of his anger: "This guy really pissed me off!"

Su Tianyan felt a little superior, and he comforted Zhang Lekang: "Old Zhang, don't be too angry. In fact, Xiao Zhang can still be saved."

"Is there any hope?"

“There is hope!”

“The best time to plant trees was 20 years ago. The second best time is now.”

"As long as you start cultivating it now, it's not too late."

"Besides, Xiao Zhang has studied abroad for a few years and has a good foundation. Once he gets his bearings, he will definitely become even better."

Zhang Lekang was half-believing and half-doubting. He felt that this was how his son's life would be.

"I think the most important thing right now is that Xiao Zhang is no longer alive."

"What's wrong with you?"

"It's that breath... that can provide him with enough energy and oxygen during the sprint."

Zhang Yangwen has the feeling of being the protagonist, but not much.

Zhang Yangwen's sense of being the protagonist comes from his wealthy family background, which is somewhat similar to Tang Ke's height of 191cm.

It's not the energy that comes from the heart, nor the sense of being a protagonist that comes from within.

Different from Su Cheng's division of people into five groups, Su Tianyan generally divides people into three stages.

Stage 1: The mob, I am the protagonist of this world.

They may make all kinds of common sense mistakes, be unable to think independently, and incorporate an idea they see somewhere into their own heads without verifying it, and implement it as a gospel, without normal values ​​and awareness of the overall situation.

The most classic manifestation is: thinking that you are the protagonist of this world, the whole world revolves around you, and everyone around you is a supporting role to set off you.

Most people can enter the second stage through regular learning: mediocrity and silence. It turns out that I am just a supporting role.

This stage is different from the previous stage. It has normal values, outlook on life, and a certain sense of the overall situation, but it is still impossible to truly think independently.

An important sign of entering this stage is: realizing that you are a mediocre person, that you are not the protagonist, but a small supporting role in this world.

As for breaking through to the third stage, that is more difficult.

But it’s not that difficult.

Because a considerable number of people are able to make breakthroughs and complete transformation after experiencing tremendous setbacks and pain.

The most important sign of entering the third stage is: you must have the tone that Su Tianyan just said.

Qi is just an abstract concept.

The true meaning is a powerful energy that bursts out from the deepest part of the heart and provides to the whole body.

Who said I’m not the protagonist?

I am the fucking protagonist!
Having this attitude does not guarantee success.

But without this spirit, nothing will be accomplished.

It is worth mentioning that after most people reach the third stage and master the "sense of being the protagonist", they are unable to truly maintain the stage state stably.

Some people may only be able to enter once or twice in their lifetime, and then stop at the second stage.

Some people will never be able to break through the shackles and enter the third stage in their entire life.

If one can rise and fall between the second and third stages many times, or hover on the edge of the third stage, then this person is actually a powerful person with many achievements in real life.

Zhang Lekang was listening at the side. He was a little confused at first and thought Su Tianyan was talking about some fantasy novel, even using words like strength and realm.

But the more he listened, the clearer Su Tianyan's meaning became.

Only those who have fully experienced these three stages can understand the concept of realm that Su Tianyan mentioned.

Zhang Lekang strongly agrees with this statement.

He already had a vague concept in his mind, but Su Tianyan was more capable than him. He summarized these things directly and expressed them very clearly and accurately in his own words.

Zhang Lekang even wanted to add two points:
"The first two stages can be entered passively, and can be intervened manually through the accumulation of resources and education."

“Only the third stage requires active entry.”

"Yes! What you said is correct, Lao Zhang!"

Zhang Lekang felt that his son had just recently left the first stage and had only entered the second stage a few years ago.

If you want to take over, it is essential to go through all three stages. Even if you stay in the second stage for a long time after taking power, it is okay as long as you know how to identify and use people.

But with Zhang Yangwen's current strength and realm, it is still unknown whether he can break through in this lifetime.

On the other hand, the eldest young master of the Su family.

People now maintain a high level of the second stage on a daily basis. As long as they want, they can enter the third stage at any time, and entering and exiting this state is as easy as walking on flat ground.

If you encounter unexpected situations in your life, or discover opportunities and chances, and think that it is time to sprint, you will adjust yourself to the three-stage state without hesitation until you complete a milestone of achievement.

Then return to the second stage for a short respite and rest until you encounter the next goal, the next problem that needs to be solved.

Zhang Lekang increasingly felt that he was just a rookie compared to Su Tianyan in terms of educating his children.

"This is the huge shortcoming of traditional rote learning."

"At school, I go to class on time and go to bed on time."

"At the company, I come to work on time and leave on time."

"Children always need 'compulsory instructions'. There is no possibility of any subjective initiative, let alone the cultivation of subjective initiative."

Facing the two fathers, Bai Zihua remained silent.

Bai Zihua could understand the three stages and three realms that Su Tianyan mentioned, and he had also fully experienced the three stages.

But he thinks there is nothing wrong with the second stage, and only the first stage is foolish.

The third stage is very harmful to the body, and no one can stay in the third stage all the time.

Every generation has its own things to do.

You guys have done all the work for them, so what's wrong with letting the children have an easier time?
What's wrong with Su Cheng and Zhang Yangwen living a safe and happy life as rich men?
Why do we have to charge into battle, exhausting ourselves, and deliberately causing pain in our minds, bones, and bodies?

Although this is a necessary triggering condition, Xiao Cheng and the others didn't need to suffer all this in the first place.

Their generation suffered so much, didn't they just want the next generation to have an easier time?

Bai Zihua completely disagreed with the discussion between Su Tianyan and Zhang Lekang.

It may also be that Bai Zihua has not had children yet, so he treats Xiao Cheng as his half-son.

"Lao Zhang, I think there is something I need to emphasize to you."

“That’s the question of empathy.”

"You know, being overly compassionate is a big taboo in the business world."

"When it's time to act, there must be no hesitation."

"If compassion outweighs rational thinking and influences the final decision, it will inevitably backfire."

Su Tianyan asked someone to pull out the surveillance footage in the commercial CBD that night and the video taken by the field team.

Zhang Lekang watched Zhang Yangwen's behavioral choice between buying balloons and not buying balloons in full.

The anger in his heart suddenly rose again.

No. Are you fucking sick?!

What’s it to you whether someone buys balloons for their grandchildren or not?
What does it have to do with you?

The more Zhang Lekang looked at him, the more he felt that his son was a waste, and the more he felt that Su Cheng was a man full of wisdom.

Zhang Yangwen is far from being able to reach the level of empathy that Su Cheng has. He is just plain stupid.
The [balloon incident] of the past two days is a smaller version of the [Chen Suna incident] and is a microcosm of Zhang Yangwen's handling of related issues.

Su Tianyan also made such mistakes when he was young, especially with women.

He had also been influenced by women who had problems in their original families and were traumatized.

However, his mistake was not serious and he quickly corrected himself.

After realizing this problem, Su Tianyan's behavior became: I can listen to the trauma of your original family, but you know what I am going to do after listening.

Zhang Lekang humbly asked: "Brother Tianyan, how did you help Xiaocheng solve this problem?"

Su Tianyan explained his method.

Zhang Lekang frowned, feeling that this method would be harmful to both Su Cheng and the girl.

Zhang Lekang couldn't even think of doing such a thing, let alone doing it.

Bai Zihua was a little scared.

He was afraid that when Su Tianyan helped Xiao Zhang deal with this problem, he would also transfer Chen Suna out.

If that were the case, he would immediately and strongly dissuade it.

At least change someone.

That little girl Chen Suna would really jump off the building.

"Brother Tianyan, what questions should my son be doing right now? Can you help?"

Su Tianyan thought for a moment and gave his judgment: "Xiao Zhang is not yet at the stage of solving problems."

In other words, Zhang Yangwen is not qualified to take the exam at his current level.

Since it is an exam, you must have a certain foundation, with both right and wrong answers, in order to summarize the problem.

If we give Zhang Yangwen questions directly now, he will definitely get them all wrong, and he will definitely not learn from his mistakes or summarize the problems.

"Just let him follow my brat and learn by watching."

Bai Zihua breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.

Su Tianyan read the relevant report. This brat even gave someone 10,000 yuan. It seemed that the two of them got along very well and could be put together.

"Brother Tianyan, I will leave my kid to you."

"You can beat him, you can scold him, whatever you want, Brother Tianyan, as long as you can help him become a successful person!"

Zhang Lekang's behavior at this moment was as if he had sent his son, who was just a little bit playful, to Professor Su, who specialized in helping people with internet addiction, in an attempt to cure Zhang Yangwen's internet addiction, which he did not have in the first place.

"Hey, it's definitely not going to work on my own. I need your cooperation as a father, so that it will work."

Zhang Lekang nodded repeatedly, "Cooperate!"

"Absolutely cooperate!"

"Brother Tianyan, I'll cooperate with you in whatever way you tell me to!"

"First of all, you can't let him have so much disposable pocket money."

"it is good!"

"I'll call him later and find a reason to get all the money he has."

Su Tianyan nodded, thinking that Lao Zhang finally got the point!

……

……

That night.

Tiantong East Garden.

An old and dilapidated house somewhere.

Su Cheng was half lying on the sofa.

In his left hand is an unreleased ZK2 lighter, and in his right hand is a cigarette.

Su Cheng used all channels and tried his best to collect more information that was useful to him at this stage.

Including Zhang Yangwen, Zhang Yangwen's father, and the Zhang family behind him.

Zhang Yangwen's father is indeed named Zhang Lekang, which is a real name that can be verified, including birth certificate, ID number, driver's license, social security information, etc.

But these things can only prove that the Zhang family is just an ordinary middle-class family in Shanghai, which is exactly the same as what Zhang Yangwen said at the beginning.

Zhang Lekang is just like an old guy, living on paper documents before the millennium.

Same technique, same routine.

Su Cheng didn't have any breakthrough in information and could only lie half-paralyzed on the sofa and smoke in silence.

While his mind was gathering information and colliding thoughts, he was unconsciously consumed by negative emotions.

The more I thought about it, the more depressed I felt, and the more I felt my mood and emotions were getting worse.

Suffering is not worth it.

Whether it is "tempering one's will" or "exercising growth", it is simply because suffering cannot be avoided.

At first, Su Cheng thought he was born with six eyes.

Later, Su Cheng felt that his six eyes were deliberately cultivated by Lao Deng.

But now, Su Cheng had to deny that his six eyes had nothing to do with Lao Deng!

Su Cheng knew that Lao Deng must also have six eyes.

But how did Lao Deng’s six eyes come about?
Isn't it still up to yourself?

It can't be his grandfather who has no education at all, right?
Grandpa passed away a long time ago, and Su Cheng had never even met him.

Therefore, it is impossible for Grandpa to teach Lao Deng any "magic weapon to defeat the enemy".

The six eyes were honed by Su Cheng himself, not cultivated by his father.

“I keep on striving, keep on thinking, keep on loving and self-destructing, saving myself tens of thousands of times.”

"What does this old fucking thing have to do with it?"

“The IKEA effect, is that it?”

"The old guy thinks he invested a lot of time and energy in me, and as a result, he naturally develops a sense of ownership and pride, thinking that he made me what I am today? He's the real hero?"

Awesome!

What the hell did you teach me?
Wow, all you have is suffering and more suffering.

Suffering is suffering. It does not bring success and is not worth pursuing.

Su Cheng believed that it was he who made the old man's teaching method successful, rather than the old man's teaching method making him successful.

There is a very big essential difference between the two.

Su Cheng admitted it.

Old Deng is indeed very capable. His historical status in business can surpass Edison in the scientific world, and his achievements and contributions are far greater than direct current.

But, when it comes to children’s education?

Ha ha! ! !

Su Cheng has experienced so much hardship since childhood and faced the darkness and ugliness of human nature, but he did not grow up astray, did not turn evil, and did not develop an antisocial personality.

He broke through the siege and became a mature, stable, rational, wise and gentle person.

He is well aware of the ugliness of the world, but his heart is clear.

He knows the ways of the world, but is not tainted by materialism.

Su Cheng's past life made him see the tenacity of life, and he was truly proud of his former self!
