Dramatic changes in the movies and TV shows

Chapter 1242 There are many ways

"Forget it, I'm not going to analyze it for you, lest we lose our brotherhood in the future!"

Seeing Jia Kuan's unpleasant expression, he finally listened to Lin Hao's words, and at this moment Lin Hao began to act arrogantly.

"Wait a minute, keep going!" Jia Kuan, who had somewhat come to his senses, urged Lin Hao on, seeing his hesitant attitude.

"They say that stones from other mountains can be used to polish jade, and I think what you said makes a lot of sense. Why don't you finish what you're saying?"

Lin Hao hesitated for a moment, then said with some difficulty:

"To be honest, I really don't want to get involved in your relationship, but as your brother, since you've asked me, it wouldn't be right for me not to say anything."

"So I'm just an observer, helping you analyze this situation, but I won't make any decisions for you. The choice is yours!"

"Okay, go ahead!" Seeing how serious Lin Hao was, Jia Kuan subconsciously sat up straight.

Lin Hao took another sip of wine, and then, emboldened by the alcohol, said:

"Your biggest problem right now seems to be about whether or not to have children, but in reality, you haven't noticed the root of the problem!"

"The root cause?" Jia Kuan muttered to himself, his mind growing increasingly confused.

"Yes, the child's problem is just the surface; the essence is an imbalance in your family, or rather, a role reversal."

"As for things like the director's position, raising children, and education issues, they're essentially about the imbalance in your marital relationship!"

Seeing that Jia Kuan was listening intently, Lin Hao continued his analysis:

"Let me make an assumption: suppose you are now the director of the company, no, even a deputy director, or even just a supervisor!"

"Liu Yingxia is just a junior employee. Now that she's pregnant, are you worried about whether or not to keep the baby?"

"No way!" Jia Kuan said with absolute certainty.

“We’ve always wanted children. If Liu Yingxia were just an ordinary office worker, she could have simply gone home and had a baby!”

"As for work, I'll go back to work after giving birth. If I can't stay at VG, I can just find another job. It's just an office job, it's a simple matter!"

"Isn't this it!" Lin Hao shrugged before continuing:

"Liu Yingxia, by a twist of fate, is now standing at a height that doesn't belong to her!"

"And Liu Yingxia now takes it for granted that all of this has nothing to do with others, and is entirely due to her own efforts."

"And what you call your efforts are seen by her as stagnation and a lack of ambition. So in her eyes, you have become a burden to her!"

"Now that she's finally become a director, if she goes home to have a baby, she definitely won't be able to keep her position, which will lead to a host of other problems!"

"Do you think my analysis makes sense?" Lin Hao asked immediately when he saw Jia Kuan looking thoughtful.

“Indeed!” Jia Kuan nodded.

Lin Hao's words helped him clarify things from another perspective, and after she sorted out her thoughts, just as Lin Hao said, she found the source of the conflict and solved the problem.

Seeing Jia Kuan nod, Lin Hao then said meaningfully:

"Besides the fear of losing this position, the hard-won director position, and your unreliable performance in her eyes, there is another extremely important reason that makes her reluctant to give up her job!"

"What's the reason?" Jia Kuan was shocked upon hearing this, and then asked anxiously.

Lin Hao paused for a moment before saying calmly, "It's Liu Yingxia's problem of insufficient ability!"

"Tell me, if Liu Yingxia had Jian Ai's abilities, do you think she would still care about a director position?"

Jia Kuan was taken aback when he heard this. This was the same as what Lin Hao had said before: if Liu Yingxia were a junior employee, they wouldn't have this kind of anxiety at all, and they could completely ignore work-related issues.

Take Jane Ai, for example. She has been married to Lin Hao for seven years and has been a full-time housewife throughout that time. Now, she can easily assist Liu Yingxia through the M3 process. After the work is completed, she will be directly appointed as the administrative director by Andy. This is a testament to her ability.

If Liu Yingxia really had Jian Ai's abilities, wouldn't she be able to easily find high-paying jobs like director or supervisor?
Now he finally understood why Lin Hao said that Liu Yingxia lacked work ability!

"No wonder she's so attached to this position!" Jia Kuan said with a wry smile.

At this moment, Lin Hao crossed his legs and said nonchalantly:

"Beneath Liu Yingxia's strong exterior lies a lack of ability. People always cherish what they have obtained with great care!"

"Because of the fear of losing, they neglect other things!" Lin Hao said, pointing at Jia Kuan.

"For example, you've already become a deputy director, so you have no worries about anything, whether it's your life or your work."

“But in her eyes, you’re still a child who never grew up!” Lin Hao poured Jia Kuan a glass of wine, then continued:
"Because in her mind, you became the deputy director not because of your own ability, but because of my help and promotion!"

Seeing that Jia Kuan did not speak or refute, but only kept drinking in silence, perhaps even he himself felt that he had received a favor from Lin Hao.

Thinking of this, Lin Hao smiled and said:

"She believes that she became the director entirely through her own efforts, without relying on anyone else!"

"As for asking my best friend Jane for help, that's not really helping, and it's not because she's incompetent. It's because I'm helping Jane find a job!"

Actually, this is also why Lin Hao looks down on Liu Yingxia. To put it bluntly, they both received help from others, so who is more noble than whom?

Upon hearing this, Jia Kuan suddenly realized that this was a double standard. He didn't have the life of a rich girl, but he had the illness of a princess.

Lin Hao helping him is considered relying on others, but Jian Ai helping Liu Yingxia isn't considered relying on others. What kind of logic is that?

With Jian Ai's abilities, other companies would be scrambling to hire her, so why would they need her help?
"That's what women are like!" Lin Hao said with a smile.

"Doesn't she know about her own limitations? If she didn't, why would she ask Jane for help?"

"In fact, from the day she took over as HR director, her fate was already sealed. Her role was to be the villain responsible for layoffs. After she finished the layoffs, she would be the final sacrifice to be optimized and the scapegoat to quell the resentment of the company's employees."

"To put it bluntly, if it weren't for Jane's help, and if you hadn't repeatedly asked me to take care of her, the position of director would have been taken over long ago!"

But from the moment she became the director, she started to ignore Jane's help, deliberately disregarded the fact that you helped her time and time again, and indirectly denied my help!

Jia Kuan was somewhat distraught at this moment. Lin Hao had completely deconstructed Liu Yingxia's character, from her abilities to her personality. Some things are best left unthought, because they are truly terrifying to contemplate. Jia Kuan then felt deflated and lost.

It's like dissecting a person and seeing their heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys—that's not a pleasant experience.

Although you can see through a person's true nature and understand their behavioral logic, you can imagine that when you interact with them again in the future, it will be difficult to feel any warmth in your heart; instead, you will feel more of a bloody reality.

The thought of Liu Yingxia made Jia Kuan feel somewhat lost, and he didn't even know how to continue his relationship with her.

Seeing Jia Kuan's ever-changing expression, Lin Hao spoke again, "Do you know why I'm analyzing all this?"

"Why?" Jia Kuan looked up at Lin Hao, his voice a little hoarse.

"I'm helping you remove the curse from Liu Yingxia!" Lin Hao said calmly.

"You're too good to Liu Yingxia. Everything revolves around her, to the point that you've lost yourself!"

“If this continues, you’ll probably end up like me, receiving a divorce agreement. In fact, Liu Yingxia had already brought up divorce with you before, hadn’t she?”

Looking at the dejected Jia Kuan, Lin Hao continued:
"Your problem has never been the children, but the imbalance of power between you. What women need is someone to rely on, not a child to take care of."

"As someone who's been there, let me give you some advice!" Seeing Jia Kuan looking at him, Lin Hao said solemnly:

"Don't try to make yourself as transparent as crystal; transparency only leads to being ignored!"

"You're a man, and a man should take control of his life. Don't rely on others to give you everything you have!"

Jia Kuan opened his mouth and looked at Lin Hao, who was concerned about him. For a moment, Jia Kuan did not know what to say.

"Thanks, brother!" Lin Hao's words deeply moved Jia Kuan.

It took Jia Kuan a while to recover, but his eyes still held a sense of bewilderment.

"What's with the thanks?!" Lin Hao said irritably. "Just don't blame me for meddling in your relationship!"

Jia Kuan rubbed his forehead, then said somewhat confusedly:
"Although I understand the core of the problem, that doesn't solve the practical issues. The most important thing now is how to save the child!"

Lin Hao was somewhat speechless, so he reiterated, "Don't ask me about this. I won't make any decisions for you!"

"Just tell me!" Jia Kuan looked at Lin Hao and said seriously:
"We're brothers, I trust you wouldn't hurt me, and whatever you say won't affect my decision, and I won't blame you for it!"

"Sigh~!" Lin Hao sighed, then said with a hint of helplessness:
"Your biggest problem right now is that the balance of power within the family has been lost. Restoring that balance is the key to solving the problem!"

"Of course, that's something that needs to be adjusted in the future. Right now, there are only two solutions: have children or don't have children!"

"But this is actually Liu Yingxia's choice for you. If you follow her logic, you will never achieve your goal!"

"Because if you agree, you will inevitably lose the child, but you can save the marriage."

"However, I think your final fate will probably be the same as the path Jane and I walked."

"The other option is that if you insist on having the child, Liu Yingxia will divorce you and then abort the child herself."

"So!" Lin Hao concluded, "You can't follow her line of thinking; you have to let Liu Yingxia make the choice!"

"Didn't she give you two choices? But in essence, there's only one choice; there's really no choice at all."

"So you need to show your stance, you must have this child, and then give her two choices: either have the child or continue the marriage."

"Either she insists on aborting the child, then the only outcome will be divorce!"

"Of course, this only represents your attitude: leave the choice to her and let her make the final decision."

"Don't interfere with her during this time; let her think it through herself!" Lin Hao added at the end.

Jia Kuan's eyes lit up. He felt that Lin Hao was absolutely right. Why should he have to choose?

If he hadn't listened to Lin Hao's analysis before coming to Lin Hao's house, he might not have been able to stick to his goal.

Jia Kuan hesitated for a moment, then finally asked, "What if Liu Yingxia really doesn't want the child and insists on aborting it?"

"How would I know!" Lin Hao replied, seemingly changing the subject, "If nothing unexpected happens, I'll be marrying Jiang Nan soon!"

Lin Hao's seemingly random remark caught Jia Kuan off guard, but after seeing the layout of Lin Hao's home, a sudden inspiration struck him.

His nerves immediately registered that Lin Hao meant he had divorced before, had found a young and beautiful girl, and was about to get married.

The unspoken message is that if he really divorces Liu Yingxia, he should find someone younger and prettier and not hang himself on Liu Yingxia.

To be honest, Jia Kuan was tempted for a moment. Although he was reluctant to part with Liu Yingxia, he was also a bit annoyed lately.

As Lin Hao said, Liu Yingxia had wanted to divorce him for a long time, but he had cleverly resolved the situation. The conflict between the two of them was not something that had just started.

However, Liu Yingxia has not yet made a decision. She is also reluctant to divorce Liu Yingxia. So many years of feelings cannot be exhausted in a short time.

Seeing this, Lin Hao didn't say much, but instead advised Jia Kuan, "You need to have confidence in yourself and in Liu Yingxia!"

Then, Lin Hao patted Jia Kuan on the shoulder and said:

"Actually, Liu Yingxia still has feelings for you. Yesterday, when you suddenly ran away from home, Liu Yingxia couldn't find you, so she rushed to find us."

"I searched for you for ages and couldn't find you. I was so worried I cried. If you hadn't called to let me know you were safe, I don't know how heartbroken I would have been!"

"If possible, try to salvage the situation, after all, you're getting on in years!" Lin Hao joked at the end.

Upon hearing this, Jia Kuan rubbed his hair, feeling somewhat undecided. In truth, he hoped that Liu Yingxia could have a peaceful childbirth instead of falling out with her.

Finally, somewhat hesitantly, he asked Lin Hao, "Isn't there any other way?"

"Yes!" Lin Hao smiled and said decisively, "Actually, there are plenty of ways!"

"What method?" Jia Kuan asked quickly upon hearing this.
