1988: Back to the human world for a few years

Chapter 424: Having no desires is the greatest desire (1)

"I heard that the eldest daughter of the Mu family didn't have a very harmonious relationship with her father before?"

Zhuomali asked a subtle question as if she was chatting with a friend.

Song Wenxuan, who had been looking unhappy, was slightly stunned when he heard this question, and then smiled: "This is normal. Children who grow up in a family environment like ours will more or less have some trouble with their family."

Song Wenxuan's answer was equally subtle.

Different from the family environment of those second-generation kids, perhaps because they are in the heavenly world, the atmosphere in families like the Mu family and the Song family is extremely depressing. It is more like another school or office than a home.

Therefore, although it is impossible for the second generation like them to leave their families, many of them have serious rebellious emotions in their hearts.

For example, the eggplant girl always has a rebellious buzz cut. She is obviously a very good-looking girl, but she makes herself look androgynous. In fact, it is just a release of her dissatisfaction.

Of course, Lin Luosu's situation is just an extreme case. The situation of most people is hidden. Therefore, there are many people like Miss Mu who appear to be a loving and filial daughter in front of outsiders, but actually have a very strained relationship with their parents.

Seeing Song Wenxuan's noncommittal look, Zhuo Mali suddenly laughed, "But it seems that since the second half of last year, their father-daughter relationship has suddenly improved, and even better than that of ordinary fathers and daughters?"

Song Wenxuan frowned, staring at the peach thoughtfully for a while, then smiled bitterly: "Sister Zhuo, you know that in a family like ours, unless there is a major conflict of interest, we rely on strength to speak... Xiaoya is lucky to have found a monster like Yang Mo, so Uncle Mu will naturally not treat her with the same attitude as before... After all, blood is thicker than water. Since Uncle Mu's attitude has changed, the relationship between father and daughter is naturally very different."

Zhuo Mali looked at him with a half-smile: "Brother, although it is true that the eldest sister of the Mu family is extremely lucky to find Yang Mo as her partner, but ask yourself... can this be explained by just the word pure luck?"

Song Wenxuan's expression froze, as if he was unwilling to answer the question directly. He simply picked up the glass of watermelon juice on the table that had never been touched and drank it silently.

Zhuo Mali was unwilling to miss this opportunity to completely shatter the other party's psychological fantasy. She smiled and leaned forward: "Brother, our parents often warned us when we were very young..."

"When a coward encounters a difficult problem, he will just endure it silently and then blame others;"

"When mediocre people encounter difficult problems, they only know how to complain about injustice and then shout cynical cries at the top of their lungs;"

“Only the strong will calm down and face the problem with great determination, and then try various methods to solve the problem…even if they have to use all means possible.”

After repeating this cliché, Zhuo Mali lazily shrank back into her body again: "It is obvious that although the eldest sister of the Mu family is not a key training target like you, she is not the kind of obedient girl who can only let her family arrange everything for her... Otherwise, she would not have gone directly to the drilling company in the first place."

"In fact, as a woman, I understand why she rejected the marriage between your two families... The fact that she has no thoughts about you between men and women is certainly an extremely important reason, but the real reason is... She hates the feeling of being bought and sold like a commodity!"

After slightly exposing someone's scars again, Zhuo Mali's eyes flashed with a sharpness: "If it were an ordinary woman, she would have just run away. Maybe she would have thought about waiting for a few years and then begging her father for mercy. In the process of mutual concessions, she could get a relatively ideal result;"

"But unfortunately, ordinary people are ordinary people, and we are us. You and I both know that there are few real losers among those who come out of a compound like ours."

"So I can tell you very clearly that the reason why the eldest sister of the Mu family went to the drilling company was, on the one hand, because it was a star unit under the Southwest Petroleum Bureau. Not only was it not subordinate to the headquarters, but it also had its own weight. Even if Uncle Mu wanted to go back on his word, it would be difficult for him to reach out directly. It was considered an ideal safe haven;"

"But on the other hand, the eldest sister of the Mu family is clearly thinking of breaking the impasse. She wants to take advantage of this buffer period to work hard, accumulate enough strength, and finally control her own destiny!"

Seeing Song Wenxuan opening his mouth to say something, Zhuo Mali waved her hand unceremoniously: "Brother, don't doubt the truth of this. We are all women. If it were me, I would do the same!"

Song Wenxuan looked at the peach in silence: "No, Sister Zhuo, I'm not doubting the truth of your speculation. In fact, everyone knows what Xiaoya was thinking when she took the initiative to ask to be transferred to the drilling company. What I mean is... this doesn't mean anything."

Zhuo Mali stroked her hair calmly, with a sneer on her face: "It doesn't prove anything? I heard that although the eldest sister of the Mu family took the initiative to approach Yang Mo at the beginning, the relationship between the two was just a familiar friend. Even after Yang Mo's ability was discovered, the relationship between the two was just a common alliance of interests... right?"

Song Wenxuan nodded: "That's right. Actually, no one expected Xiaoya and Yang Mo to end up together. After all, although Yang Mo showed great potential at the beginning, the difference between their identities is too big, including their values, philosophy of life, and living habits. There are quite a few differences."

Zhuo Mali nodded gently: "That's right, so don't you think that the two of them went from strangers to ordinary friends, and then to lovers in just one year, this speed is too fast... You know, the eldest sister of the Mu family is a first-class talent in all aspects. Such a star-studded figure, in such a short time, established a relationship with an ordinary person with a huge difference in status and living habits. Don't you think this is abrupt?"

Song Wenxuan was silent for a while. In this era, even a decent girl from an ordinary family would spend a year or so with someone before considering establishing a romantic relationship. What's more, she was a proud girl like Miss Mu who had excellent conditions and high standards?
If this young lady was really that easy to pursue, she would have been won over when she was in college.

What is even more incredible is that it is said that Yang Mo never showed much initiative at the beginning, and did not even show much love for Miss Mu. But even if the human nature of "what you can't get is the best" is taken into consideration, the relationship between the two changed too quickly.

Zhuo Mali raised a mysterious arc at the corner of her mouth: "What's interesting is that the eldest sister of the Mu family has always been aloof. It is said that she rarely does housework on weekdays. But look at her now, when facing Yang Mo, she has the posture of a shy little girl, and her every move is extremely gentle... As a woman, I know very well that people from family environments like ours rarely have true love brains. Even if they are really love brains, their hearts are completely tied to a man, and there will definitely not be such a big contrast before and after... It is obvious that our eldest daughter of the Mu family knows how to use her appearance advantage, and she also understands what type of women a strong-willed person like Yang Mo likes!"

"What's more interesting is that everyone knows that in this era, foreign trade is the most profitable and easiest job to achieve results. Let's not talk about the things that happened to the eldest sister of the Mu family before she got together with Yang Mo... Although she exported domestic vodka to the Bear Country under Yang Mo's guidance, and later successfully launched an extremely eye-catching independent beer brand export project, and also imitated Yang Mo to set up an import and export trade promotion association, and then collected a large amount of special deposits. These three major actions really made her more important at the time, but at that time she and Yang Mo were allies in interests after all. When Yang Mo was unwilling to become her subordinate, it was understandable that she did not let Yang Mo get involved too much in foreign trade work."

"But what happens when the eldest sister of the Mu family and Yang Mo officially get together?"

"Didn't you notice that, whether it was when he was at the Drilling Company or at Dahua Company, even though Yang Mo has become the de facto boss of Dahua Company, he never intervened in foreign trade business, but let the eldest sister of the Mu family make all the decisions?"

At this point, Zhuo Mali seemed to be afraid that Song Wenxuan didn't understand the key point, so she reminded him: "After spending some time together, I think you can see that Yang Mo is a person with a strong desire for control. Even though the eldest daughter of the Mu family is about to marry into his Yang family, it is really not like him to ignore such an important business as foreign trade;"

"Yang Mo's ability is obvious to everyone. Apart from other things, the fact that he was able to help the eldest sister of the Mu family design the two projects of domestic vodka and beer for export to Northeast Asia is enough to show that he is not ignorant of foreign trade and overseas markets... In fact, when Yang Mo was just the chief of the drilling company Momo Baitou, he was able to take the absolute initiative and force Sangong Co., Ltd. to sign a series of investment projects with them with a total amount of up to 1.3 million US dollars. This proves that Yang Mo is actually much better than we thought in this area!"

She habitually crossed her well-proportioned and voluptuous long legs and looked at the younger brother in front of her with a smile on her face. "Both the young couple work in the system. The most capable and courageous man is busy all day, using all kinds of unimaginable means to revitalize the muddy and small domestic market one by one. The woman, who is much less capable, is in charge of the lucrative foreign trade business with unlimited market potential... Don't you think this is interesting?"

If this kind of thing happens to an ordinary couple, it is normal. As a man, he should be at the forefront of the storm and work hard for the family.

But it is very abnormal for such a thing to happen to a powerful person of Yang Mo's level... This has nothing to do with whether a man is responsible or not. It is simply a huge waste of resources and can be called a crime!
Some things cannot be thought about too deeply. Thinking too deeply will shatter the beautiful bubble in people's minds. Therefore, Song Wenxuan's smile became a little bitter: "After all, Xiaoya is just trying to protect herself. Besides, being favored by Xiaoya is also a blessing that Yang Mo has cultivated in his previous life... As a man, you should be more generous. Since she is with you, you should at least give her some protection."

This answer seems a bit confusing.

It is obvious that the problems pointed out by Zhuo Mali have had a great impact on this guy.

But at the same time, these words were undoubtedly a disguised acknowledgement that there was indeed utilitarian motive in the relationship between Miss Mu and Yang Mo... Otherwise, it would be impossible to explain the various abnormalities before.

Thinking of this, Song Wenxuan sighed: "Just like what you said, Sister Zhuo, men will always meet a woman who wants to kill them in this life. It's hard to say whether it's lucky or unlucky... In short, heroes are hard to resist beautiful women. Life is hard to be confused, and it's nothing to suffer a little loss in insignificant places." Although his words were full of emotion, they also carried some relief. He must have felt that even a person like Yang Mo suffered such a loss from a woman, and it was nothing for him to be fooled.

Zhuo Mali's expression suddenly turned sarcastic: "Brother, since Yang Mo was able to go from a newly graduated white-collar worker to stirring up one storm after another in just two years, and directly jumped to the point where he could be on par with our fathers, and even be looked at differently by Mr. Zhao... You don't think that he is like you, a pure boy with childish fantasies, right?"

The corner of Song Wenxuan's eye twitched, as if he was dissatisfied with Zhuo Mali's repeated ridicule of him as a pure boy, and he was even more unhappy about using Yang Mo to drag him down.

But on second thought, although Yang Mo was indeed his peer and had indeed told him personally that their overall abilities were comparable, he was not stupid enough to really equate them;
And what the old sister said was right. Yang Mo's breadth and depth of vision were obviously better than hers, and his gambling nature was even greater; but at the same time, his meticulous thinking, strong risk control awareness, and ruthless means of controlling his subordinates were definitely not comparable.

Judging from these minor details, Yang Mo does not seem like a guy with childish fantasies... This guy gives people the feeling that he is more like an old fox who has been lost in the world for a thousand years rather than a talented young man.

Thinking of this, Song Wenxuan's face became slightly grayer: "Sister Zhuo, what you mean is... Yang Mo actually knew Xiaoya's purpose of getting close to him, and he also acquiesced to this... behavior?"

After all, she was the woman he once loved, so Song Wenxuan really couldn't say the words "equivalent exchange".

Zhuo Mali nodded, then shook her head: "How can the relationship between people be so simple? Although the eldest sister of the Mu family is walking with Yang Mo for certain reasons, it is too superficial to simply use words like "seductiveness" and "lust" to describe it as equivalent exchange."

"In short, there is still a foundation of affection between the two of them, but..."

At this point, Zhuo Mali paused, and suddenly tilted her head: "Brother, do you think the eldest sister of the Mu family likes Yang Mo?"

Song Wenxuan said without hesitation: "Of course I like you. That look can't deceive anyone."

Zhuo Mali pouted: "Tsk~ When have you men ever been good at this... But you are right, the eldest sister of the Mu family should still like Yang Mo more... But this is not surprising, even if there were other purposes at the beginning, facing a monster like Yang Mo with amazing ability and potential, any woman would slowly fall in love with him."

Should I still prefer it relatively?
What adjective is this?

Song Wenxuan was dumbfounded and started to suspect whether the teacher who graded the reading comprehension questions in the college entrance examination had given him some easy answers.

Zhuo Mali glanced at him with disdain, and then lowered her voice involuntarily: "Then do you think Yang Mo likes the eldest sister of the Mu family?"

Song Wenxuan hesitated for a moment, and then answered honestly after thinking for a while: "I think... I like him, right? But the feeling of liking him is different from Xiaoya's feeling of liking him. Um... I can't describe it right away."

Zhuo Mali raised a strange arc at the corner of her mouth: "Is it the kind of feeling that you like someone but lack the feeling of cherishing him/her? I always feel that there is a lack of enthusiasm from the heart, and there is no such feeling of wanting to protect the other person at all costs?"

Song Wenxuan smacked his lips with a bit of toothache: "Almost... This is the feeling, right?"

Zhuo Mali smiled softly: "To use the words in the novel, this is called liking, but not reaching the level of love... To put it more rationally, it is more of lust than spiritual desire."

"So, now you know why I said that the eldest sister of the Mu family is relatively fond of Yang Mo, right? After all, love is a two-way thing. If one party is hesitant, the other party can naturally feel it!"

"But by the same token, you should also know why I, your sister, said that the eldest daughter of the Mu family is not an easy person to deal with, right?"

After sorting it out, Song Wenxuan naturally understood why Zhuo Mali made such a comment on the eldest daughter of the Mu family.

The logic behind this is very subtle. It is true that Miss Mu has a desire, but her feelings for Yang Mo are also real. There is a sense of truth mixed with falsehood, and falsehood mixed with truth... The only difference is that unlike the plots of grudges and love in novels, Miss Mu's state is proactive, and she has grasped the essence of the most difficult to guard against "live spies" in "The Art of War" by Sun Tzu.

In short, it is difficult for ordinary people to achieve this level.

Thinking of this, Song Wenxuan suddenly didn't want to talk about this topic anymore, and forced a smile: "Sister Zhuo, after all, we are all on the same boat, and Yang Mo is still the helmsman of this boat. It's not appropriate to discuss these personal issues in private... How about we stop here?"

Zhuo Mali shook her head gently: "No, brother, you are wrong. It is precisely because of you that we are already in the same boat that I am talking to you about these topics without caring about decency... Whether the Lin family's sister and the eldest lady of the Mu family are as simple as you think is actually not that important;"

"The important thing is, I need to use analogies to make you understand that Yang Mo is not as simple as you think, and the situation of the children of us in the compound is not as leisurely as you think... If you still don't understand what kind of leader you need to face, then it will be difficult for us to truly cooperate sincerely... Believe me, by then, not only will we fail to achieve results, but we will die miserably!"

!!!

Song Wenxuan's pupils shrank, and then he looked at Zhuo Mali suspiciously.

Everyone knows that Yang Mo is no simple person, but... if all the people on this ship don't cooperate sincerely, they will die miserably?
Is this a bit too alarmist?
Seeing this, Zhuo Mali sneered, "Brother, let me ask you, everyone knows that Yang Mo is actually a person who has no fun in life. He is not greedy for money, nor is he lustful. In fact, apart from liking to drink Pu'er tea and occasionally fishing, he has no other hobbies to speak of... Then tell me, why did he still get together with the eldest sister of the Mu family when he knew that she actually wanted something?"

If this question was asked to an ordinary person, Song Wenxuan would definitely roll his eyes and tell her, facing a beauty like Mu Liya who is absolutely first-class in all aspects, what else do you want?
But unfortunately, for people who have reached a certain level, beauties are not a scarce resource, and Southwest Drilling Company No. 1 has never lacked beauties... The so-called beauty depends on comparison; even if the beauties in the drilling company are indeed slightly inferior to Mu Liya, but in contrast with the very large base of beauties, it is actually difficult for Mu Liya to stand out from the crowd with absolute stunningness.

More importantly, although it is human nature for young men to admire women, and even many men cannot resist the temptation of beauty when they grow old, no matter what, a section chief who holds real power and works in a unit like a drilling company full of beautiful women and has a strong desire for control will obviously not easily accept a beautiful woman with ulterior motives approaching... What's more, his hobbies and behaviors that are full of middle-aged and elderly connotations all prove that Yang Mo's resistance to female beauty is obviously better than that of ordinary people.

Thinking of the topic that the old sister just mentioned, Song Wenxuan took a deep breath: "Why?"

Zhuo Mali smiled and said, "It's very simple. Yang Mo also likes the Mu family's strong ability to allocate funds... You have to know that not all industries are as well-funded as our oil system, and not all units are as rich as Dahua Company... In this era when 80% of small and medium-sized state-owned units have an annual output value of less than 1000 million, Dahua Company has hundreds of millions of special funds every year, which is unimaginable to most people."

"It can be said that as long as you can complete the diversion task assigned by the headquarters, the value of this huge amount of funds that can be freely used is inestimable at the moment...especially when the domestic economy is in a cold winter."

At this point, Zhuo Mali mentioned lightly: "Don't forget, the official change in the relationship between Yang Mo and the eldest sister of the Mu family began during the New Year's Day last year... As far as I know, Uncle Mu once went to the drilling company on the night of New Year's Day, and not long after that, Dahua Company began to urgently prepare for its establishment."

"Brother, Yang Mo is a very forward-looking person. I'm afraid that when he knew that the headquarters planned to carry out a large-scale reduction in staff and increase efficiency, he had already set his sights on the hundreds of millions of special funds in Dahua Company's account every year... And objectively speaking, the establishment of Dahua Company was originally promoted by Yang Mo!"

Song Wenxuan gasped: "Yang Mo is eyeing the special fund of Dahua Company that is as high as hundreds of millions of yuan every year... How is it possible!?"
