"Okay." Uncle Gong nodded heavily, opened the door and left.
After the people left, Zhu Xiaoxiao came out of the inner room, puzzled: "Teacher, you clearly know that Bai Zhi and the others have contacted Uncle Gong, why do you still want to help his son? Faced with the interests proposed by Bai Zhi and the others, Uncle Gong
You are obviously tempted, aren't you angry?"
Lu Xixin put down her pen, turned her chair and looked out the window, with a calm tone: "I decided to help Gong Qi a long time ago. It's because of Uncle Gong's loyalty to grandpa and care for me over the years. This is what he deserves."
of.
Even if he chooses Bai Zhi in the end, I will still help."
Zhu Xiaoxiao sat on the sofa next to her, still unable to understand: "Aren't you angry then? Uncle Gong is shaken. Although he hasn't made a choice yet and is even more inclined to you, he is tempted after all and hides it from you.
Bai Zhi is looking for something to do with him."
"Smile." Lu Xixin turned to her and said solemnly: "If the water is clear, there will be no fish. If you want people to follow you, it is necessary to show some of your trump cards.
As long as Uncle Gong knows that following me will bring greater benefits, he will naturally give up on Bai Zhi and the others."
"But..." Zhu Xiaoxiao was still confused: "What about the other members of the Gu family? Why don't you give them greater benefits and let them know that it is better to follow you?"
"Because I have double standards. I want Uncle Gong, so I show my worth to him. I don't want to care about those Gu family members, so I hide my identity and test them." Lu Xixin spoke calmly, talking about his selfishness naturally, "laugh
Laugh, you have to know that there are relatives near and far in this world. I am a human being, not a machine. I have my own emotions and inner preferences.
Uncle Gong has taken care of me for many years. Not to mention that he was just hesitant and did not betray me. Even if he really leaned towards Bai Zhi, I would have a way to catch him back. I would also make excuses for him, thinking that he turned to Bai Zhi for the sake of his children.
them.
Xiaoxiao, this is emotional bias, because Uncle Gong has my childhood memories and emotional dependence, so I will unconsciously favor him and make excuses for him.
But those people of the Gu family are strangers to me. For such a group of strangers, why should I take care of them and give them benefits? They have never done anything for me, so why should I be good to them?"
Speaking of this, Lu Xixin paused and lowered her tone: "Xiaoxiao, you have to admit your selfish weaknesses and understand that you will be influenced by emotions when making decisions.
Only if you understand all this can you master all this."
Zhu Xiaoxiao understood a little, but also didn’t understand a little. She was totally confused.
Seeing this, Lu Xixin said: "Let me give you an example. If you are from the Gu family and you have never met me, let alone know me, will you trust me, respect me, and obey me?"
Zhu Xiaoxiao shook his head: "No."
Lu Xixin continued: "To give another example, a distant relative in your family suddenly came over to give you 1 million and said to you, Xiaoxiao, follow me and I will be very good to you. Do you dare?"
"Of course I don't dare." Zhu Xiaoxiao was frightened, "Isn't this just candy from a stranger? How could I ask for it casually? He suddenly came out and treated me well. I must have some agenda. I definitely won't believe it.
You have to hide a little bit."
"That's right." Lu Xixin said indifferently, "Gu family members and I are not familiar with each other, have no intersection, and have never experienced anything together. There is no way to establish mutual trust in a short period of time.
I don't trust them, and they don't trust me.
In fact, if I take my time, after ten or eight years, they may recognize me, but I don't have time to wait. I need to gather the strength of the Gu family in the shortest possible time, and then a huge betrayal will be required."
Betrayal? Zhu Xiaoxiao raised her eyes in shock.
"Yes." Lu Xixin said in a calm tone: "Those who betray me are easily seduced by petty benefits and don't need to care about it; while those who stay will establish a closer relationship with me and they will consciously support me.
If I didn’t betray me, then I would be on the same side as me. Therefore, when I give them benefits, when I give them benefits, they will not think it is a stranger’s candy, but will take it for granted.
Because they feel they have not betrayed me, they deserve my benefits."
"More importantly, there is a contrast after this. People don't cherish things they take for granted. Only when they have lost it, or almost lost it, or watched others lose it, will they cherish it more.
The worse off those who betray me are, the happier those who follow me will be, and then they will build a closer relationship with me.
Only with such a close relationship can I be regarded as the true head of the Gu family, and I will obey all orders and prohibitions."
