Spring Breeze Twenty Years

Chapter 707 Youthful Days

Xiao Wei asked, "Would students from your school be willing to work for our small, run-down private company? Don't they all have to work for the government and get a government job?"

Xiaohong said, "Not everyone can get into a government agency. So many people graduate every year, and it still depends on connections. Most people end up in companies. These days, companies aren't all that great; not everyone wants to work there. It's just that people have no choice. Everyone needs a job to earn a living."

Xiao Wei nodded and said, "Okay, if you think it's useful, go ahead and do it. It's not much money anyway, and if we can really recruit a group of people from here, it will be worth it."

Ran Tu and Mo Lijuan led a few boys over to carry things. Xiao Hong got out of the car and opened the trunk to help. Xiao Wei didn't get out of the car; he just waited in the car.

After a while, Xiao Hong still hadn't come over, but a boy ran up to Xiao Wei, walked to the driver's side, and asked, "Are you Wang Xiao Hong's boyfriend?"

Xiao Wei sized him up a few times. He wasn't short, and quite sturdy, with a few pimples on his forehead. Nodding, Xiao Wei said, "Yeah, what's wrong?"

The boy said, "My name is Lu Hongyu. I am Wang Xiaohong's senior and the Minister of Organization of the Student Union."

Xiao Wei asked, "Did you need something from me?"

Lu Hongyu took a few deep breaths and asked, "Which school did you graduate from?"

Xiao Wei said, "I never went to university, I didn't even finish high school, so what?"

Lu Hongyu seemed a little nervous, swallowed a few times, and suddenly said loudly, "I don't agree to her dating you. How old is she? You took advantage of her youth and deceived her. What right do you have to be her boyfriend?"

Xiao Wei took out a cigarette, lit it, and asked Lu Hongyu, "Want one?"

Lu Hongyu glared at Xiao Wei menacingly and said, "I won't smoke your cigarettes. I'm here to tell you that you're not good enough for her, and you can't give her happiness."

Xiao Wei looked at Lu Hongyu: "Uh, you can?"

Lu Hongyu said, "I'm sure I can. I'm a student union cadre, the organization minister, the captain of the school football team, and a national second-level athlete. We can learn and grow together, and after graduation, we will both be national cadres and can contribute to the motherland together."

You didn't even finish high school; there's absolutely nothing in common between you. You're taking advantage of her youth to deceive her; she'll definitely regret it and suffer in the future. You've ruined her life for your own momentary desires; that's a crime."

Xiao Wei asked, "Classmate, do you know what happiness is?"

Lu Hongyu raised his hand to wipe the fine sweat that had broken out on his forehead due to nervousness, and stared fiercely at Xiao Wei: "Happiness is when I understand her, she understands me, we have shared life experiences, we have common language, and we can live a happy and joyful life together."

We can contribute to the country together, study and participate in activities together, recite Bei Dao's poems together, experience the world together with Wang Guozhen, follow in Gu Cheng's footsteps, and appreciate Hai Zi's poetic and philosophical philosophy of life.

Can you? What can you give her?

Xiao Wei frowned and thought for a moment, then asked, "Are you suggesting that you would take her with you to commit suicide? Or go and wander abroad?"

Lu Hongyu was stunned for a moment, then looked somewhat embarrassed and angry, and said loudly, "I will not allow you to slander my idol."

Xiao Wei asked, "Whom did I slander?"

Lu Hongyu took a few deep breaths and said, "You can't give her happiness. She doesn't find joy with you, so why do you insist on clinging to her?"

Xiao Wei said, "Being with me makes me unhappy, but being with you makes me happy? Where do you get that confidence?"

Lu Hongyu said, "Because I like her, I love her, I can give her everything I have. I believe my life will be brilliant, and all of this belongs to her. We can study together, work hard together, and strive together to create our wonderful life. Can you do that?"

Xiao Wei said, "I can't. I don't need her to work hard and struggle with me. Struggling is too tiring."

Lu Hongyu said, "You don't even have the courage to fight for yourself, so what makes you think you can be with her?"

Xiao Wei said, "Classmate, do you think the earth belongs to you alone? That you can kick it whenever you want, throw it whenever you want? Is your confidence and sense of superiority because you're truly excellent or because of your ignorance? Are your parents national leaders? You come to me so aggressively and inexplicably, did you ask Wang Xiaohong beforehand? Did she agree to it?"

Lu Hongyu said, "I will earn all my glory and achievements with my own hands. You people who can only rely on your parents and family will never understand this. I don't need anyone's consent because this is my mission. I ask you to leave her and give her her freedom."

Xiao Wei shook his head and said, "Universities shouldn't admit students like you. Your personality is even less suited to be a leader. You're too selfish, too extreme, self-righteous, arrogant, and conceited. Stay away from Xiao Hong from now on. You don't even deserve to know her. Understand? Okay, hurry up and leave. Stay away from me. I don't want to talk nonsense with you anymore."

Lu Hongyu kicked a tire: "Get out of the car! Are you even a man? Get out! I want to have a contest. The loser leaves her. Do you dare? Are you even a man?"

Xiao Wei looked at the spot where he had kicked and said, "Stand back a little. If you damage the car, can you afford to pay for it? Is your family very rich?"

Lu Hongyu kicked the tire again and said, "Does having money make you so great? Do you even know what love is? Do you even know what ideals are? What does money even matter?"

Xiao Wei said, "Money is nothing, but if you kick me again, I'll go to the school. Let me tell you, even if you sell your house, it might not be enough to cover the losses."

Several students gathered around, discussing and watching the spectacle from a distance.

Lu Hongyu gave him a disdainful look and said, "All you know is how to go to the school, go to the parents, and talk money. If you're so capable, come down here and compete with me. Do you dare?"

Xiao Wei said, "You kicked my car, and I won't go after the school or your family, I'll go after you instead! Do you have the money to pay for it?"

Lu Hongyu said, "All you see is money, dirty and stinking money. We have ideals, we have a brilliant and splendid life, do you?"

Xiao Wei asked, "Is your ideal plus a glorious life enough to fix my car? Or do you think that if you have ideals and a glorious life, you won't have to pay for the damage or pay for the murder? Didn't you grow up because your parents worked hard to earn money for you? Did you build this up based on your own ideals?"

The students surrounding them laughed. Lu Hongyu said, "Come down here. If you're a man, have a match with me."

Xiao Wei asked, "What do you want to compete in?"

Lu Hongyu said, "You can choose to compete in sprinting, football, or poetry."

Xiao Wei shook his head and said, "None of those three things you mentioned will bring any value to your life, classmate. You're living too superficially. Besides, why do you always choose things you're good at? Are you even a man? Do you dare to compete with others in what they're good at?"

Lu Hongyu said, "Are you a man? If you are, come down and compete. Whoever loses leaves Wang Xiaohong."

The number of students surrounding the area increased, and their emotions became heated. It turned out they were vying for a girl's attention—how delightful!
