Interstellar Energy Tycoon

Liu Xuexian is 30 years old this year, a native of Ganxi Province, and has a hard but acceptable job.

But as he got older, it was time to find a partner, and his parents became more and more anxious, urging him to get married and have children every day, otherwise he would become an old bachelor.

Liu Xuexian was also anxious, but his qualifications were too ordinary, no matter whether it was appearance, education, height, income, etc., there was nothing outstanding about him.

Just an ordinary, ordinary person.

However, Liu Xuexian, who asked for help everywhere, found a matchmaker, and after hundreds of blind dates, spent 20,000 to 30,000 yuan for dinner, finally found a woman who was willing to associate with him, and soon developed to talk about marriage. the point.

In fact, the woman's conditions are also very average, 29 years old, rural household registration, 160 height, college degree, a little fat, and a younger brother, the family conditions are not as good as Liu Xuexian's. Thinking that he is not good enough for the other party, he also believes that with the conditions of the woman's family, it is not impossible to find someone with better conditions, but the possibility is very low.

Liu Xuexian also thought that he could develop smoothly, obtain a marriage certificate, and have children.

However--

The bride price is 388,000, not a single point less.

The woman's name should be added on the real estate certificate.

Buy a new car worth no less than 200,000.

In addition to the hardware, the banquet on both sides must be borne by the man.

The sum of the zeros and zeros is estimated to be close to a million.

Liu Xuexian was stunned.

He has heard of exorbitant betrothal gifts, and it is not a rare thing, but after several years of rectification, the atmosphere has improved a lot, and he is from the city, where young men and women get married, and the betrothal gifts are usually 66,000 to 88,000 These figures, at best, will not exceed 100,000, and the bride's family will also provide some dowry as a kind of support for the new couple as much as the bride price given by the man's family.

The betrothal gift is 388,000. This is definitely a mess, and the purpose is probably not to protect the new couple, but for other purposes.

I can't accept it.

Liu Xuexian immediately refused, but he couldn't come up with such a large bride price.

But the woman's parents said that this is the rule in the countryside. 388,000 is already a small income. Others have 588,000. Liu Xuexian can't afford this money. Believe it or not, as long as the wind is released, many families will be willing immediately Take out 380,000 to marry his daughter? You must know that there are more than forty male bachelors in their village, and it's not that there are no rich people in them, and there are many choices.

"Then why didn't you find those bachelors who can afford the bride price in the first place, and come here to harm me?"

Liu Xuexian couldn't figure it out, and expressed that he would rather give up this relationship, and he couldn't afford so much money, and the negotiation was about to collapse.

But Liu Xuexian's parents were in a hurry. They didn't want to wait any longer. Although the gift was high, they could still get it if they gritted their teeth and borrowed some from relatives and friends. As long as they hugged their grandson early, they would be able to say anything.

Liu Xuexian felt that his parents were a little confused, but the woman's parents gave him a PUA success, saying that nowadays there are more men than women, and they can't marry a wife if they don't give Gao Caili. If you have enough bride price, you want to get married and have children, that is daydreaming.

Liu Xuexian's parents accepted this logic, borrowed money from everywhere to collect money, and even did ideological work for him, persuading him to accept the reality and not worry about divorce. As long as the child is born, the woman's mission will be completed. Divorce No problem, just spend money to buy a child - these parents' ideas also made Liu Xuexian dumbfounded.

soon.

Empty all the savings in the family, and borrowed 100,000 yuan from relatives, which can be regarded as enough money.

Tomorrow is the day of the engagement.

Liu Xuexian was extremely reluctant, but under the will of his parents, he had to accept this reality.

But tonight, on the computer, I clicked and played the advertising film "A Gentleman Is Like a Sword, A Gentleman Is Like Light" by Xingyuan Group.

The content and copywriting in the video may not feel much to others, and they may even make ridicule, but to Liu Xuexian, it is like the big bell of Huang Lu ringing in his mind over and over again.

"A gentleman refuses mediocrity, even if he can only spend his life in mediocrity, he must show an attitude of life that is not mediocre, hahaha, well said, well said, I am such a mediocre gentleman, I have long been Accept mediocrity."

"But! I am a gentleman, how can I accept the blackmail of the bad habit of bride price? How can I compromise with the low-level reproductive needs? A gentleman lives with a breath and an attitude. If there is no future, there will be no future. The ancient gentleman , never consider these issues, the integrity of a gentleman is more important than anything else, and I will defend the name of a gentleman!"

Liu Xuexian immediately slapped the table and stood up.

He walked to the living room and said to his parents who were arranging bundles of cash: "Dad, Mom, I don't want to end this marriage! I admit that I am ordinary, I am not good enough, and my life-long events have broken your hearts, but From today onwards, I will be a gentleman, I will be more filial to you, so that you can enjoy your old age, but this kind of marriage does not matter, I cannot let you bear such a big burden and risk, this era is developing, Some things are not so terrible, maybe one day, I will meet a woman who is willing to marry me without a bride price."

hear this.

The parents stopped counting the money, remained silent for a long time, finally nodded and said: "Okay, we respect your idea, the engagement will be cancelled."

...

In a famous university, in a laboratory.

Doctoral student Su Guan's fist fell on the bald middle-aged man one after another, beating him frantically.

"Qin Yangshuo, you bastard, go to hell! I, Su Guan, am not your slave. I am a human being. I am a gentleman. How can I be squeezed by you for five years for mere degree? If my thesis is not approved, you want me to let you, a beast, work for the rest of your life. Today I can't bear it anymore, I will die with you! I want to show you what it means for a gentleman to get angry and splatter five steps with blood!"

Su Guan exploded.

After swallowing his anger for a long time, he broke out completely today. With the thought of dying together, he didn't care about anything and frantically beat his mentor Qin Yangshuo.

"I don't want my shit degree certificate anymore!"

"I don't want a shitty future either!"

"From today onwards, I will be a gentleman! A gentleman who will not bow down, will not be humiliated, and will no longer compromise to any unreasonable rules! Even if I can't survive, even if I starve to death, I will never bow to a beast teacher like you! "

Su Guan roared angrily, and kicked hard with one foot after another.

His crazy appearance caused Qin Yangshuo on the ground to keep begging for mercy, expressing that he knew he was wrong and begging to let him go.

In the end, the beating ended with the dissuasion of the school teachers and classmates. Afterwards, the police intervened and took Su Guan away and detained him. He might face lawsuits and huge compensation, but this matter also quickly rushed into the trending searches. The whole country is aware of the trouble, and the bad deeds of Professor Qin Yangshuo have also been exposed. In addition to Ka Suguan's graduation thesis, making him a research slave, X harassed female students, academic misconduct and other behaviors, Professor Qin Beast deserves his name , which caused condemnation from countless netizens, and then went to jail. This life is basically over.

As for why doctoral student Su Guan suddenly went berserk, the reason was quickly investigated.

He also watched the advertising film "A Gentleman Is Like a Sword, A Gentleman Is Like Light".

Su Guan very much agrees with the concept of "gentleman" in the advertisement. Yes, a gentleman is like a sword. The sharp blade is not intended to hurt others, but to cut off one's own weakness, so as to bravely fight against those injustices Unreasonable phenomenon.

A gentleman is also like a ray of light, he must have a light that sticks to the righteous way, if he doesn't have a trace of the right way in his heart, he will always compromise, even if he gets a degree certificate, even if he graduates, there is a high probability that he will be a beast like Qin Yangshuo in the future, because The injustice and oppression he has suffered must be recovered in some way, and he may not necessarily live a very happy and sunny life in the future.

Rather than that!

It's better to be a gentleman now. In today's society, it's hard to starve to death, and you can always find a way to make a living, but if you continue to be so slave-like, he really doesn't want to endure it for a second!

Seeing that Xingyuan Group was recruiting a large number of people, Su Guan decided that when the detention period was over, he would go to Suhong City to have a look and submit resumes to Xingyuan Group for an interview. He wanted to try it out. of enterprises.

...

In Tianhai City, in a rental house.

Teng Changqing, a 19-year-old gifted boy, was caught in a tangle with two offers in his hand.

One is a joint master's and doctoral degree in a famous school in Laochou, with a full scholarship and a tax-free relocation allowance of 1 million dollars, which can be said to be very sincere.

The other one was the official offer from Huayao Company's 'Genius Boy', because he had won first place in multiple rounds of written test interviews, so he got the highest annual salary of 5 million, after tax, You can also choose your own field of interest to delve into, giving yourself a lot of flexibility.

For these two offers.

Teng Changqing is still more inclined to Huayao Company. Although many of his senior brothers and sisters recommend him to go to Lao Chou for a master's and doctoral degree, which is better for his future development, Teng Changqing is eager to serve his country and does not consider going to He doesn't believe in developing abroad. If you stay in China, you won't be able to learn real things, and you will definitely be inferior to others outside.

What's more, the salary offered by Huayao Company is really good, not lower than that of foreign schools, and you can choose what you want to do according to your own preferences. This kind of flexibility is also one of the main reasons that impresses him.

Therefore, if there is no accident, he will choose Huayao Company. He plans to reply to Huayao within two days, and then apply for employment.

But after watching Xingyuan Group's recruitment advertisement "A Gentleman Is Like a Sword, A Gentleman Is Like Light".

He could see that Xingyuan Group wanted to establish and spread a "gentleman" culture. The boss, Li Xingyang, Xingge, was also establishing a gentleman's personality, faintly standing on the side with the majority of young people, and wanted to become a "gentleman" for the majority of young people A leader or leader of people.

Many unsatisfactory young people also like this very much. They naturally stand on the side of Xingyuan Group and want to become a gentleman today. They want to resist unfair and unreasonable phenomena and pour a big bucket of chicken soup , and it’s not necessarily a beneficial chicken soup. Judging from the comment area, there are at least dozens of cases in which they resist sky-high betrothal gifts, give up loans to buy houses, and express their determination not to get married or have children. According to the trending news, the Xingyuan Group's advertisements, and the gentleman's spirit it promotes, ignited countless fires of resistance, and have violated and hurt the interests of many people.

This is actually not acceptable.

It is easy to cause harmony.

Xingyuan Group still does this, and it seems that it will become the first company in China with a "gentleman's demeanor and temperament".

This is certainly possible, but without enough ability and charm, can you manage tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of gentlemanly employees? Once there is something that can't be done well, aren't you afraid of being backlashed?

Brother Xing, why is he so calm and confident?

Then Teng Changqing changed his decision. Instead of going to Huayao Company, he went to Suhong City and joined Brother Xing's Xingyuan Group.

"Brother Xing is too hot, too much for my appetite!"

"Even if Brother Xing's set of ideas is too rigid and idealistic, he will definitely be rejected and suppressed by the mainstream values ​​of society, but thinking about it is still too exciting. My middle school soul can no longer hold back. Now, only joining such a company can make me feel excited!"

"A gentleman is like a sword, and a gentleman is like light! I am only nineteen years old, and I am just a boy in my classmate. I am in the prime of life. Of course, I want to become a sword and a light, instead of becoming a veteran in the workplace and a refined egoist. Become a person who only has interests in his eyes and has no original intention and principles."

"I want to become the same person as Brother Xing, and become a contemporary gentleman! Xingyuan Group, I am determined to join, and no one can stop me!"

Teng Changqing was very good at secondary school, and immediately made a brand new resume, submitted it to Xingyuan Group, bought a high-speed rail ticket, and went to Suhong City tomorrow to recommend himself.
