"I remember when the war was in the past, the old man took dozens of us to fight guerrillas in the mountains, and there was no food to eat. The villagers in the village used the only remaining coarse noodles at home to bake 500 sauerkraut pies and prepared to deliver them to us.

Unexpectedly, when we arrived, all the people in the village were killed. The weather was hot, and these pies had turned bad after being soaked in blood.

At that time, food was short of food and I was reluctant to throw it away, so the old man asked us to dry the pies and eat them.

Later, we learned that the villagers were slaughtered because they were sued by traitors. These bloody pies were exchanged for their lives by fellow villagers.

Since then, in order to commemorate those fellow villagers, we will bake this sauerkraut pie every day of our death, and we will deliberately put it to rot and eat it." The middle-aged man's eyes were filled with tears.

"So there is such a story. Chen Meng is right. I shouldn't be immersed in the desire for pleasure. Compared with my ancestors, I am too selfish..." Lin Xuening murmured.

"Make the lady laugh."

The middle-aged man wiped his tears, "What's wrong with Miss coming to Xiangjiang this time?"

"Come with a friend and tell me to check the investment business." Lin Xuening said.

"Xiangjiang has been doing business in recent years, and the large industries that can make money have been controlled by a limited number of wealthy businessmen. In addition to the positioning of the Far East Xiangjiang Financial Center and Shopping Paradise, there is no way out for the industry unless it involves financial investment." said the middle-aged man.

“My friend wants to start the electronics industry.”

"This is an emerging industry, but Europe and the United States are doing this, and Xiangjiang has no advantages. If the lady wants to do this, I would recommend you to go abroad to take a look." said the middle-aged man.

"I have to discuss this with my friend. I come to find Uncle Crip. The main reason is to borrow your identity. My friend's intention is that foreign countries are now strictly preventing this kind of industry. If mainlanders do it, it is afraid it will be difficult to succeed." Lin Xuening said.

"This is the truth. Some people in Xiangjiang do it, but as far as I know, in terms of technology introduction, European and American cards are very strict, and almost all those who do it in Xiangjiang have gone bankrupt." said the middle-aged man.

"When I go back and ask my friend, see what he says, and come to see Uncle Crip if necessary," Lin Xuening said.

...

Chen Meng returned to the hotel.

Before Lin Xuening came back, Mao Ba was about to go back to his room to rest, but Chen Meng stopped him, "Sit down, we haven't spoken for a long time."

Mao Ba's feeling of heavy heart suddenly became strong. He sat down and smoked without saying a word, waiting for Chen Meng's next words.

"You said, are Ding Laoba and the others thanking me or will they hate me?" Chen Meng said inexplicably.

"Until now, Lao Ba and the others should be grateful to Mr. Chen. If it weren't for you, they might still be gangsters in the mainland, and they had no meal after eating the last meal." Mao Ba said.

"It's nothing wrong with being a gangster. In fact, the greatest success of a person's life is to accept his own mediocrity. 99.99% of the people on earth are mediocre people. However, many mediocre people have dreams of unwilling to be ordinary. In order to pursue such dreams that do not match their identity, the price they pay may be fatal." Chen Meng sighed.

thump!!

Mao Ba suddenly knelt down.

"What are you doing?" Chen Meng was stunned.

"Mr. Chen, I know that Lao Ba and the others have made you angry, so I apologize to you for them. As the saying goes, the son is not the fault of the godfather. Although they are not my sons, according to the rules of the world, once they recognize me as the boss, I have to be responsible for them." Mao Ba said.

"You have already taken the responsibility, I gave them a choice at the beginning." Chen Meng frowned.

"No, you didn't give them a choice. You brought them to Xiangjiang, let them see the prosperity of Xiangjiang, and pave the way for them... Mr. Chen, I haven't said something, but it doesn't mean I don't know. The reason you did this is actually to let Lao Ba and the others help you do something bad about your conscience. If you come forward to deal with them, you will have no worries about your reputation." Mao Ba said.

Chen Meng was a little surprised and looked at Mao Ba in a deep voice, "So, are you blaming me?"

"No wonder, as you said, they chose the road themselves."

"Then you said, I didn't give them a chance to choose?"

"Because you know their weaknesses very well. Lao Ba has always wanted to make money by making a fuss. You have wiped out all the smuggling forces in the small fishing village and let Hongxing support them unconditionally. Lao Ba must not refuse, so they actually have no choice." Mao Ba said.

"You are right, but I still gave them a choice. I don't dislike being flirting with the wrongdoing. What I dislike is ungrateful and bullying the weak. Everyone has weaknesses, such as your weakness is loyalty and family. My weakness is lust, and Lin Xuening's weakness is arrogance and arrogance..."

Chen Meng lit a cigarette and pointed to the chair.

Mao Ba stood up and sat down. He knew that it would be useless to continue kneeling down.

All he can do is to end here.

Otherwise, it's just crossing the line.

"Everyone's weakness is a manifestation of nature and belongs to human nature's defects. When the external environment cannot meet the conditions for release, it can be well controlled. However, once a certain condition is met, the defects of human nature will be infinitely amplified."

"If you can restrain yourself, you are a saint. If you cannot restrain yourself, you are a demon. Many ordinary people cannot be saints because they cannot completely restrain the defects of human nature, but they can choose not to do evil. Do you understand what I mean?" Chen Meng said.

"I understand." Mao Ba looked dim.

Just then.

Lin Xuening came back, and Mao Ba immediately stood up to say goodbye.

"I'm so obedient, I haven't seen the prosperous nightlife in Xiangjiang?" Lin Xuening said.

"I'm here to do a serious business, not picking up girls. Have you met an old friend?"

Chen Meng stepped forward, took the bag from her and hung it on the clothes hanger, "Do you want to take a shower to relieve your fatigue?"

"See."

Lin Xuening suddenly hugged him and pressed his face against his chest, "Chen Meng, I was wrong."

"Why did you apologize again?" Chen Meng was a little surprised.

"I suddenly realized that the life I lived before was too extravagant, too decadent, and wasted my great years."

"Oh? Why did Xue Ning suddenly have this idea? What was touched by?"

"Because of a story told by Uncle Crip..."

Lin Xuening told Chen Meng the story told by Uncle Crip.

Chen Meng was solemnly respected, "Yes, think about the ancestors who were not well-fed or warm, for the faith in their hearts and for the poor, for the sake of their lives, and for the sake of their lives, what reason do we have to be immersed in luxury and enjoyment, not to be enterprising, and only seek selfishness."

"Well, you're right, so, go." Lin Xuening suddenly pushed him away.

"Why?"

"If you stay here, I will be immersed in the pleasures of the flesh again later."

“Some fun is something to enjoy.”
