Qiang was the representative of this type of people. Before he became an adult, he had never cared about his family. In his eyes, he knew more than his parents.
In his eyes, his parents were burdens and shackles. In his eyes, his parents were always so self-righteous. Since he was young, they had taught him to study hard. But he did not listen. After he graduated from high school, his father told him that he had no future because he did not study hard.
At that time, Qiang knew that studying was useless. During his high school days, he had a lot of good friends, but they did not like to study.
There were people like him who lived in the slums, and there were also people who lived in high-class residential areas.
A few of his buddies' parents were sanitation workers or part-time workers. Their families were almost the same as his, with only four walls. After graduating from high school, they had nothing. Other than working hard, they had no other way. His family members were all busy with their meals. What else could he expect from his family?
A few of his friends' parents set up a night market. They made fried skewers, pancakes, and children's toys. They worked hard to earn some money. If they could not get into university, they could only follow their parents to do some small businesses. Their families had some money and did not let their children live in poverty.
There were also a few of his friends' families who were involved in big businesses. They owned factories. Their mothers were the boss, and their fathers were construction workers. These types of friends were doing better. They followed their families to do odd jobs. After they graduated, they could drive Audi and BMW. Their families did not expect them to earn money. They just hoped that they would not cause trouble outside.
What Qiangzi envied the most were those whose families were big officials. His father was a secretary, and his mother was a big shot. His relatives were either in the Public Security Bureau or the Political and Legal Committee. Even the most incompetent person in his family could be a section chief.
These guys were having a great time. After they graduated from high school, they could not show their faces and went overseas.
Which country did they go to? It had to be Europe and America. What East Asian island countries, what Russia and Ukraine, what Southeast Asia and Australia?
It was either the UK or the US! That was the price he wanted!
He had no choice. What if he did not spend the money?
Of course, he had to find a way to spend it!
When he was in high school, he got a duck on the math test. When he went to university, he directly got into Harvard's math department. When he was in high school, he could only rely on luck and got a perfect score. When he went to university, he directly went to Cambridge to study English!
These guys were really famous. After they arrived overseas, they lived in villas made of solid wood. Some of them even bought castles as their bedrooms. Every day, they drove all kinds of British sports cars or American muscle cars. They brought blond and brown haired white and black haired girls with them. They played all kinds of cruise parties.
This wasn't a matter of studying or not studying at all. It was a matter of who had the right father.
This era was different from any other era. What mattered was one's father and family power!
The descendants of political families would also enter the political circle because their families had already paved the way and flattened the ground. The descendants of successful merchants had to do business, because even if they were ignorant and incompetent, they could rely on their family's connections to support their generation.
As for ordinary people, they were still ordinary people at the end of the day.
The children raised by ordinary people must not be stubborn top students. They must have a master's degree from a high-class university. They must also have a very high EQ. Only then would they be able to work as a gold collar in a certain company and earn an annual salary of 300,000 yuan. They would be respected by tens of thousands of people and praised by their neighbors.
If they didn't do well, they could only work in an ordinary company. Those who earned 5,000 to 8,000 yuan a month were those who had a little relationship with the leader and could be a supervisor. If they had no relationship at all, they could get 2,000 to 3,000 yuan.
The premise was that they could get into university and find a job after graduation.
Those who were reduced to people like Qiang couldn't even get into university. His family didn't have any connections. He couldn't even find a way to work in a factory.
Therefore, he had always complained about this society and his parents.
In fact, in a big environment like Hua Xia, there were many people like Qiang. There were really many people.
Too many young people would complain about such things. They would complain about their lives, their conditions, and their parents. However, they never complained about their own lack of effort. It was as if their lack of effort was deserved and they didn't regret it at all.
Qiang really wanted to be mediocre for the rest of his life. However, because of the appearance of Xu Yun, everything changed for him.
Fate actually liked to play tricks on people.
If it weren't for the appearance of Xu Yun, Qiang's fate wouldn't have changed. If it weren't for the appearance of Xu Yun, Qiang wouldn't have had the opportunity to stand out.
If Qiang didn't have the opportunity to stand out, he wouldn't have left Hedong, and he wouldn't have experienced the feeling of leaving his parents.
Although he wasn't a sentimental person and wouldn't miss his family all the time, every time he thought about it, it would always make him feel heartbroken.
Because Qiang didn't have much interaction with his parents, he rarely called them because he didn't know what to say.
Some things really couldn't be said. Sometimes, he also wanted to say something, but when the words reached his mouth, he always swallowed them.
These things were facts that Qiang wanted to change but couldn't. However, he had to admit that this was his life and this was his destiny. He was already very grateful for his destiny.
At least now, he didn't let down Xu Yun's support and Ye Fala's important position. He managed Xingkai Hotel in an orderly manner.
This was the reason why Xu Yun left him in Shen Jiang and didn't bring him to Qingdao. It was because Qiang had already found his position in Shen Jiang.
He could do his job very well and he loved it.
Now, Qiang's only regret was that he couldn't always be by his parents' side.
This regret might last for the rest of his life, but this was life. Who could refuse it?
"I respect you wholeheartedly! We are brothers! Three Three Yuan! Four Seasons Wealth! Five Champions! Six Six Shun! Seven Coincidentally! Eight Immortals have arrived! Nine for a long time! Full house! "
The sound of drinking and drinking made the whole drinking party seem very lively. However, at this time, Qiang's heart had already flown to the east side of the river, to his parents' side.
The shanty town where he used to live had been demolished. With the help of Xu Yun, his parents had also moved into a three-bedroom building with an elevator. Although there were "up to" hundreds of yuan of property management fees every month, all of this was easily handled by Qiang with his current income.
Qiang could let his parents enjoy the life of an ordinary person when they were close to 50 years old. For him, it was already very enough.
All of this was thanks to Xu Yun who was sitting next to him and drinking draft beer with him at this moment.
"Brother Yun, let me toast you again!" Qiang raised his glass and said, "You are the biggest benefactor in my life. If it weren't for you, I really don't know what I am."
Although Qiang's words were rough, the logic was not rough at all.
He should toast this glass of beer, and Xu Yun would also drink very happily. At least, Xu Yun didn't misjudge.
When Qiang first met Xu Yun, he was just a small punk. However, Xu Yun saw his loyalty and sense of responsibility, so Xu Yun helped him.
In Xu Yun's eyes, it was just a small stretch of hand, but it pulled Qiang onto another path in life.
"If you want to toast me, one glass is not enough. At least, you have to drink for a long time!" Xu Yun smiled and raised the beer in his hand. "Nine glasses! Whoever drinks slower will be punished with a glass! "
Qiangzi's eyes were red as he laughed, "Good! For a long time, Brother Yun will always be my Brother Yun! "
