When Su Meng came out of the shower, she saw Lu Yiwei lying on the sofa with a serious look on his face. There were three or four cigarette butts in the ashtray next to him. He seemed to be thinking about something.
Su Meng wrapped her body in a bath towel and walked to Lu Yiwei. She squinted her eyes and fanned the smoke with her hand. She snatched the unfinished cigarette from Lu Yiwei's hand and stabbed it into the ashtray. She said with distress, "Can you smoke less? The room is full of smoke. What's wrong? Is there something on your mind again?"
Lu Yiwei looked at the lovely Su Meng and threw all the messy things to the back of his mind. He said without any head or tail, "Su Meng, guess how much money I've earned so far?"
Su Meng's family was well-off and she had no concept of money. She dried her hair and said, "You know, I never ask about your privacy. I don't care how much money you have. As long as you treat me well, I don't care if you live a hard life."
It seemed that Su Meng still didn't understand Lu Yiwei. A man who was frustrated in the officialdom was like a tiger that had lost its fighting spirit. Now that Lu Yiwei had found another way to make progress in the business world, he wanted to regain his lost dignity.
A man's dignity was an irresistible pursuit of values in his life. For dignity, he could give up money, abandon women, and even sacrifice his own life to defend the invisible dignity. The English novelist, John Galsworthy, said, "Men are shaken in many different ways: some in the spine; some in the nerves; some in the moral sense; but the strongest and the most lasting is in the dignity of the individual." What is dignity? It was actually a person's fragile and sensitive nerves.
Lu Yiwei had earned money now, and what he needed was recognition and affirmation from others. If the person he loved the most was indifferent to him, his dignity would be ineffective and there would be no shock.
Su Meng also realized that her words were a little inappropriate. She quickly climbed onto Lu Yiwei's body and played with his slightly hard little brother with one hand. She giggled and said, "Then tell me how much did you earn?"
Lu Yiwei let Su Meng fiddle with him. Then, he stretched out a palm and revealed a mysterious smile.
"500,000?" Su Meng stopped what he was doing and asked tentatively.
Lu Yiwei nodded in satisfaction.
"Oh my god! My monthly salary is only 600 yuan. "Su Meng covered his mouth in surprise. At the end of the 1990s, it was very impressive to have a deposit of 500,000 yuan. Although it was nothing in the entire Xijiang Province, it was already considered a superior person in Nanyang County. "What are you going to do?" Su Meng asked.
Lu Yiwei thought for a moment and said, "I'm going to spend all the money and continue to expand the orchard. This project will be very profitable."
Su Meng poured a bucket of cold water on Lu Yiwei. "I think you don't have to develop in agriculture. Agriculture depends on the weather. If there is a natural disaster, you will have to pay for it."
Lu Yiwei did not think of this. He thought about it carefully and felt that Su Meng's words made some sense. However, he still insisted on his own idea. After all, this road was just on the right track, and the development prospects were still relatively bright. Most importantly, after he became the Dongwa Village Party Secretary, he promised to help the villagers get out of poverty and become rich. It seemed that the time was ripe.
