"What's wrong? Dinner is not good? "
Tang Yifeng frowned slightly as he looked at Su Nuannuan. He had sacrificed his dinner with her to give her more time so that she could interact more with the crowd, freeing her from the two boring aspects of life in the school. This was to make her happy, and not to make her uncomfortable.
"It can't be considered to be unpleasant, everyone is very warm to me, but it's just that I'm a bit unable to get used to it. Everyone is smiling at me, but I can't tell which one of them's smile is genuine, and which one has other intentions behind it."
Tang Yifeng laughed as he reached out to rub her head, "You scared me, and I thought that someone's words were unpleasant to hear, and made you unhappy, so it was for this matter!"
"Is this a trivial matter in your opinion that doesn't deserve my sadness?" Su Nuannuan turned his head to look at Tang Yifeng. He had grown up in such an environment all his life, so he was used to it.
"It's indeed an hour, so it's not worth it for you to grieve over it. Think about it, does the other person's laughter have anything to do with you? What does it affect you with? No matter what plans they have in mind, just live your own life according to your own feelings. Don't say that they didn't make a request, but even if they did, is there a rule in the law that you must fulfill their request? If you don't want to help, just don't. With your identity and status, even if you were to refuse, what can they do to you? "
"That is true, but we are all classmates. If they were to say it out loud, I probably wouldn't be able to refuse them. Moreover, if it was a request from a very good student, it would be even more difficult to refuse."
She only felt that if she could agree to it, then it would be fine. But if there were some requests that made it difficult for her, then it wouldn't be a big deal if it made it a little difficult for her. She kept feeling that rejecting others felt like she had done something to let down others.
It was also because of this that she didn't want to get too close with other people and was afraid that they would ask for something when they got close to each other. However, because she wouldn't refuse, she felt uncomfortable just by reluctantly agreeing to it.
This was also one of the main reasons why she chose the job. Although this job was hard and sometimes the price wasn't even proportional to the reward, she was free to spend time on it and didn't need to maintain a close relationship with many people.
However, now that he wanted to become a screenwriter, he thought that screenwriting was similar to writing novels. They were both literary workers, so he didn't need to face too many people.
But the reality proved that she was too naive. As it turned out, the writers of this novel could already be considered half a person from entertainment industry. As it turned out, writers were also the selling point of a single piece of work.
"Why do you feel embarrassed? Why do you feel that there's no way to say no? What are you afraid of? Afraid that if they were to turn him down, he would stop being friends with them? "
Tang Yifeng's low voice sounded beside Su Nuannuan's ears, she bit her lips, carefully analyzed her state of mind, and finally nodded.
What Tang Yifeng said was right, the reason why she did not dare to reject him was because she was afraid of hurting her relationship, and was afraid that her good friend would cause trouble in the end because of this.
"Then let me tell you, a true friend will definitely not part with you just because of your rejection. Even from the start, she will never make a request that would make things difficult for you."
Tang Yifeng was startled, seeing Su Nuannuan frown, with a thoughtful expression, he said, "Do you know what a friend is? "A friend is someone who will strike at the same time when the other party is in trouble, but at the same time, she knows very well what kind of position they are in, what kind of distance they should maintain, and what kind of decisions they should respect. As for matters within her capabilities, she would never trouble her friend, because she knows that friendship is very precious, and it's not worth wasting it like that."
"But …" Su Nuannuan subconsciously wanted to refute, but after saying those two words, he did not know what else he should say.
You might think that I'm being a bit too cruel now, or even feel that if that's the case, then what's the point of making friends? Or would they think that only a few friends would be able to do it? "But when you have a true friend, you will understand what I have said today. Moreover, friends are only one or two people in a lifetime, and friends are rare, so you must cherish them, but cherishing them is not a compromise to maintain their friendship. Remember, what will make you feel awkward is not a friend, since you are not a friend, what can you do if you give up?
"..."
What Tang Yifeng had said completely overturned the meaning behind the word friend. She lowered her head and kept thinking about what Tang Yifeng had said.
Seeing the serious expression on the little girl beside him, Tang Yifeng smiled and rubbed her head again.
It doesn't matter if you don't understand it at the moment. In the future, you will slowly know how to deal with human relationships. This person's relationship with others, whether it's close or distant, will require you to spend a lot of time studying and observing.
She felt that their relationship was too complicated, and so she decided to find a job where she didn't need to interact much with others. If she wasn't together with him, and he wasn't the CEO of Tang's, and she wasn't the wife of the CEO of Tang's, then he would be willing to fulfill her little willfulness and protect her under his wings, and not have to experience the storm outside his body for the rest of his life.
However, the truth did not allow him to do so. She would definitely stand by his side in the future, shouldering all of her responsibilities and facing all of the flattery and contempt from the outside world. The only thing he could do for her now was to give her time to slowly grow.
To force a person like Su Nuannuan, who was completely at peace with himself and was extremely satisfied with his small comfort zone, out of her comfort zone, to change his mind and adapt to this survival of the fittest entertainment industry and business zone, Tang Yifeng felt extremely guilty in his heart.
However, no matter how guilty he was, he still had to do what he had to do, and bear the responsibility.
"Brother Feng, do you feel tired that I'm so indecisive?" Su Nuannuan thought that she was not a smart person, but no matter how unintelligent she was, she could tell that when Tang Yifeng was with her, he would intentionally or unintentionally instigate some ideas for her.
She knew that he wanted her to adapt to their circle as soon as possible, but she had lived like this for almost thirty years, and many ideas were deeply rooted in her heart. Some ideas were not things that she could successfully change just because she wanted to.
Tang Yifeng hugged Su Nuannuan and kissed her forehead lightly with a lowered head. Not tired, I like you, just like all of you, no matter good or bad, they are all cute in my eyes, actually, I feel very sorry, because of me, I want you to change so many things, and even make you do so many things that you don't want to do, but we have no choice, in this position, if we don't fight against the world, then that means we have nothing, and what we are fighting for right now is not our own personal money and reputation, but our entire clan's, or even our entire Tang's, if we lose, our Tang's, it would be our Tang's. What about the employees of Tang's? "
Hearing Tang Yifeng's words while sighing, Su Nuannuan's heart, for the first time, felt pity for him.
She suddenly thought of a noun, the Engel coefficient, which she had learned in an economics class when she was still in school, the Engel coefficient, also known as the happiness index. Economists had linked the happiness index to the amount of money, and the study showed that the larger the base of the Engel coefficient, the more wealth a person had, the lower the happiness index he would feel, and the more he would be tormented by pressure and responsibility.
And wasn't Tang Yifeng's situation like this, or perhaps the majority of the wealthy in the country? With the development of the company to a certain extent, it was as if they had been kidnapped by wealth. If they wanted to retreat, they couldn't because they had so many responsibilities. If they retreated, what would they do with so many families?
This should be the reason why the rich would pay so much attention to their successors. Only by grooming a qualified successor would they be able to move away the burden on their shoulders and live solely for their own sake.
In the time it took the two of them to chat, they had already returned to the apartment building. After Tang Yifeng let the driver leave, he personally carried Su Nuannuan's huge backpack and carried her upstairs.
Once he entered the room, Tang Yifeng went into the kitchen. Su Nuannuan thought that he was going to pour water, so he didn't mind, only until he smelled the fragrance coming from the kitchen did he realize that he was cooking.
Just as she was about to stand up and go into the kitchen to take a look, she saw Tang Yifeng coming out with two bowls of shredded vegetable noodles.
He placed the two bowls of noodles on the tea table and called for Su Nuannuan who was sitting on the sofa to come quickly to eat.
Su Nuannuan moved towards Tang Yifeng and sat in front of him, asking at the same time, "Have you still not eaten?"
"Yes, I did. Even if you weren't here, it wouldn't smell good when I ate. I've only eaten a few bites, and I'm hungry again now."
Tang Yifeng gave Su Nuannuan a bright smile, and gave her the chopsticks and spoon in his hand.
"You're the one treating me to dinner, so you definitely haven't eaten your fill. Come, hurry up and eat some more with me!"
Su Nuannuan took the chopsticks and spoon, and glared at the man in front of him, "You say, you don't eat good food, yet you still want to eat Clear Broth Noodle Soup. Do you think you're a masochist?"
