Porsche Inside the car.
Dong Xuebin drove the car onto the highway without turning his eyes, while Sun Kai sat in the passenger seat and looked at him hesitantly, as if he had something to say.
"What's wrong?" Dong Xuebin tilted his head.
"Brother Dong." Sun Kai said, "Thank you." Dong Xuebin smiled and said, "Thank you? Is there anything worth thanking you for?"
Sun Kai gritted his back teeth and said, "Too many, I, I heard Jingjing say yesterday that her family members don't agree with me dating her, and no one wants to support us. Only you are willing to help us, and, um, there is Lucky Money for my sister's child. Thank you too Brother Dong." The Power of Time and Wealth 941
Dong Xuebin shook his hand and said, "Xiao Jing is my sister. She asked me for help, so of course I have to help. That red envelope is also for the child, so you don't need to thank me."
"But that's too much money."
"I said it was piece by piece, not much."
"How is that possible, Brother Dong, I'm not stupid, I know you want to help me."
Dong Xuebin looked at him, "Now your family is counting on you alone, right? Xiao Jing Do you know the situation of your family?"
Sun Kai's expression froze, "She doesn't know, I haven't had time to tell her yet."
"Why don't you say it? Are you afraid that Xiao Jing will look down on you?" Dong Xuebin said bluntly.
Hearing this, Sun Kai hesitated for a moment, then nodded.
As soon as Dong Xuebin turned the steering wheel and hit him intentionally, he said sternly, "But I don't think Xiao Jing looks down on you now, but you look down on yourself."
Sun Kai sighed, "You are right, but the current situation of my family is so different from that of Xiao Jing's family. I, I really am not worthy of her." Since knowing the situation at Xie Jing's family, Sun Kai has been thinking like this all the time. He even thought that walking away and leaving the world of Xie Jing is the most correct choice.
"Why do you say that?"
"My family is poor and I don't have much ability. Brother Dong, you may not be able to understand how I feel now. If I had one-tenth of your ability, I wouldn't be so..."
Dong Xuebin blinked his eyes and said, "Haha, why can't I understand?"
Sun Kai felt that he was asking questions knowingly, "You are born with abilities and abilities, but I..."
"Then you think we are not from the same world? So I can't understand you?" Dong Xuebin asked.
"Not entirely, but you are in a high position at a young age, with money and power, and I... you may not have lived a hard life. In our family, a penny really has to be broken in half. I know I may not be confident, but... I really can't be confident in front of Jingjing."
Dong Xuebin laughed and said, "How do you know I haven't had a hard time?" This was the first question Dong Xuebin had asked.
"Can your life still be miserable? It's impossible." Sun Kai certainly didn't believe it.
Dong Xuebin shook his head slightly and slowed down the car, "Xiao Sun, I don't quite agree with what you said. You have too strong a sense of self-destruction now. Okay, I admit that some people are born with golden keys, such as Xiao Jing, but do you think that Xiao Jing has reached the position of leader of Xinhua News Agency's personnel department purely because of family connections? How could it be? Xiao Jing was born in this kind of family, and the elders will definitely help her, but more importantly She still has to rely more on herself. If Xiao Jing had not worked hard at all, was not serious about her work, and was not progressing in her career, she would not be where she is now even with help from her family. Everything is her own hard work. I can tell you this clearly. You only see that Xiao Jing's family members are all high-ranking leaders, but you ignore Xiao Jing's own efforts. I still say that we are all human beings, and they all have the same head. Who is worse than the other?" The Power of Time and Wealth 941
Sun Kai said, "But..."
"Tell me about me again." Dong Xuebin interrupted with a smile, "Am I born with abilities? Are you kidding me? Do you really think I'll have money, a car, and abilities as soon as I'm born?"
Sun Kai blinked, obviously thinking so.
"Let me tell you, I used to be far behind you. You studied well and mastered three foreign languages. But what about me? My grades have been average since junior high school and high school. I was in the middle and lower reaches of the class. You have also seen my appearance. I am much worse than you. I am not good at all in the class. It's just inconspicuous. If I go to a class reunion now, they probably won't be able to call me by my name, because I'm basically a dispensable person in the class. No one will care about me. Even my teacher who has taught me for two years sometimes can't call me by my name in class. Can you imagine?"
"This..."
"Haha, do you think I'm born with abilities? Then my abilities are too great!"
"You are keeping a low profile and don't want to show off," Sun Kai said seriously.
Dong Xuebin laughed dumbly, "You think too highly of me, Xiao Sun, Xiao Jing haven't you told me about my family situation?"
Sun Kai snorted, "She said you are very powerful and can solve anything."
Dong Xuebin said, "You don't think I'm the second generation of officials and the second generation of rich people, do you?"
"You're not?" Sun Kai was stunned, he really thought so.
Dong Xuebin said happily, "My mother is also a teacher, the lowest-level one, with a monthly salary of two thousand yuan. My father used to be a worker, the most miserable and tiring one. My father's family has few relatives, and my mother's family members are all in the countryside. Haha, have you ever seen such a second-generation official? Have you ever seen such a rich second-generation?"
Sun Kai said, "Are you serious?"
Dong Xuebin said calmly, "There are some things that I have never said to my wife or anyone else. Let me tell you today. Haha, my family used to have a much harder life than your family does now. Don't look at me like this. I'm not making up things with you. It's just the truth. My father was critically ill many years ago. Surgery fees and medical expenses cost a lot of money. My family's financial situation was very average at that time. How could there be any spare money? So my mother bought the house I sold it to my dad for medical treatment. Within a few months, all the family's savings were spent. My dad's illness was not cured and eventually died. Since then, my mother and I have not had enough to eat. We have to pay rent and support my education. At that time, my family didn't just eat vegetables and steamed buns every day, and I couldn't even bear to eat eggs, let alone fruits. It's good to eat them once a month, and my neighbors helped me."
Sun Kai looked at him in shock, how could that be? Even at their house, you can still eat meat, and you won't be served steamed buns with vegetables every day.
Dong Xuebin spread his hands, "I must have been living like this for about three or four years. Only then did I know what a hard life is. But I'm different from you. I never looked down on myself. Later, after graduating from college, I got admitted to Civil Servants, and then relied on my own efforts to climb up step by step. What's wrong with my family background? What's wrong with being poor? All I wanted to do was to look good and let my mother live a good life. I didn't think about anything else. It was with this tone that I got to where I am today. Every step was made by myself, instead of sitting at home feeling sorry for myself and waiting for the pie to fall from the sky. That's why I am who I am now, and I can sit in the car and say these things to you."
"Brother Dong..." Sun Kai didn't know what to say.
To be honest, he really thought that Dong Xuebin would be born into a rich and powerful family, but he didn't expect that Xiao Jing Brother-in-law also came from a poor family.
From penniless to worth hundreds of millions?
From accomplishing nothing to becoming a powerful person??
From Dong Xuebin's tone, Sun Kai could also hear how many setbacks Dong Xuebin had experienced, and those hardships were probably not what he could have imagined. Thinking about it now, Sun Kai finally understood why Dong Xuebin didn't look down on him like others did after entering his house. He even sat down on a dirty bench casually, completely ignoring the tens or even hundreds of thousands of suits on his body, and spoke to his family members warmly and politely. Only then did Sun Kai understand that it turned out that Dong Xuebin's previous life was even harder than theirs.
Dong Xuebin looked at him and said, "Are you still saying that your family is suffering? At least you still have your own house, your own home, you have no worries about food and clothing, and the elderly at home are healthy. Isn't this enough? I told you back then In comparison, you are so happy now, what else do you have to complain about? Don't look down on yourself. My family has no money to buy meat? I came here like I was working three jobs a week! I have low self-esteem, but I never think others are much better than me! If I can't work for one year, I can work for two years! I can still earn tens of thousands without much effort? If you want to get promoted? Then I will work ten times as hard! I can still make my leaders trust me! I am still losing at the starting line, but so what? I won't lose forever!" The Power of Time and Wealth 941
Sun Kai is breathing a little quickly.
Dong Xuebin said, "Now that I've done it, why can't you? I'm confused. You rely on your own hands to eat, so why are you worse than others? Why are you lower than others? What a shame!" Dong Xuebin looked sideways at him and slapped his chest hard, "Stand up your chest! Lift your head up! Remember what I say, in this society you can bow to others, but you can never bow to yourself at any time! Only then will you really lose!"
The atmosphere was relaxed.
Dong Xuebin looked at him and said, "One last question for you, do you want to win or lose? If you think this is the case for the rest of your life, then get off the car now, it's still too late to go back!"
Sun Kai gritted his teeth and clenched his fists, "... I want to win!"
"Just want to win!"
"Brother Dong, I think I understand!"
Dong Xuebin smiled and said, "That's good, it's not in vain that I told you so much."
"Don't worry!" Sun Kai took a breath and said firmly, "I will fight hard this time! I won't let you and Xiao Jing down! You will be my goal from now on! If you can do it, so can I!"
"Okay! The momentum is good!" (To be continued
