Chapter 525 People, the most important thing is not to lie to yourself

Frankly speaking, although the former Cao Zhiqiang always said that he was not a good person and was not a good person, in fact, based on his growth trajectory in his previous life, his three views have always been quite upright.

In his previous life, Cao Zhiqiang's parents were both in the system, and his family conditions were better than worse. He had a smooth life since he was a child. He studied, played games, and read comics when he was supposed to. Anyway, he did everything his peers did.

Before time travel, although Cao Zhiqiang had been in love, they were all serious relationships with the purpose of getting married.

It's a pity that the three loves in the previous life all ended in vain due to various practical reasons.

As he gets older and more experienced, he no longer pursues love so much, and he is even more dismissive of so-called love.

Therefore, even after time travel, Cao Zhiqiang thought about falling in love, but he really never thought about marriage, let alone love.

Because in his opinion, it is enough for a man to have a career.

As long as a man has money, power and a career, why waste time on love if he can't find any woman? That's all a disease.

Therefore, even though he has written so many poems describing love and sang so many songs praising love, he himself has never believed in love.

He felt that he was just doing what all time-travelers like to do, transporting some text.

That's right, I may have never had it or been in contact with it, so I don't believe there is such a thing as love.

However, after seeing Hao Shuwen, he was slightly shaken deep in his heart and seemed to begin to believe in love.

You must know that Hao Shuwen is not the kind of person with poor family conditions. Whether it is Wu Qinghong or Yu Yuanyuan, they are not as good as her in terms of family background and conditions.

Although Cao Zhiqiang is quite rich now, when he met Hao Shuwen, he was actually not as rich as Hao Shuwen, at least not as rich as Hao Shuwen's family, because at that time, Hao Shuwen's husband was already a manager of a military enterprise, so the amount of funds he could mobilize

, it is simply not comparable to Cao Zhiqiang.

Not to mention when it comes to power, Hao Shuwen's parents are both high-ranking officials, and Hao Shuwen's parents-in-law are also high-ranking officials. At least when Cao Zhiqiang first met Hao Shuwen, there is no comparison at all in terms of power and status.

Even now, on the surface, Cao Zhiqiang is just an ordinary person with a little money. In the eyes of those high-ranking officials and disciples, he is actually nothing at all.

But such an ordinary man with a low status on the surface actually made Hao Shuwen willing to give up everything, give up her original comfortable family conditions, and try her best to be with him. Even after Cao Zhiqiang said that he would not marry her, he was willing to do so.

Be a mistress.

You know, everyone didn't show their cards before, and it didn't matter until Cao Zhiqiang officially showed his cards. But after Cao Zhiqiang officially showed his cards, she could still accept the fact of being a mistress and tell the truth about the past. How courageous it is.

If this is not love, then what is love?

However, knowing it clearly, Cao Zhiqiang could not do the same.

Anyway, Cao Zhiqiang cannot do what Hao Shuwen does, nor can he do what Wu Qinghong does, nor can he do what Yu Yuanyuan does.

He cannot give up everything for a woman, nor can he stand still for a woman.

Or it can be said that Hao Shuwen's affectionate confession not only did not move Cao Zhiqiang, but he saw himself more clearly.

In essence, he is an exquisite egoist who only pursues desires and has no mercy.

No matter how good Cao Zhiqiang says or does, the essence is like this.

He gives women money, gives them houses, helps them with their careers, and gives them freedom. It seems enlightened, but in fact it is just a transaction.

Yes, giving money to a career, or even giving more freedom, is all a transaction.

Cao Zhiqiang gave them what they wanted, and they gave Cao Zhiqiang what he wanted. It was a fair transaction for everyone.

Originally, Cao Zhiqiang thought that Hao Shuwen, like other real women, only wanted to get what she wanted from him when she was with him.

But now it seems that Hao Shuwen, the most vain and refined egoist, is actually a love brain, which really surprises Cao Zhiqiang.

Then Cao Zhiqiang thought, if that's the case, why should he pretend?

You are obviously a scumbag, why are you pretending to be a pure and self-disciplined good man?

People, the most important thing is not to lie to yourself.

It’s okay to deceive others, but deceiving yourself will only end up involving yourself.

So, be a real scumbag, it may be better for everyone.

Because a man who is clearly a scumbag is actually putting a filter in front of himself, which can filter out those good women in advance.

For those women who cannot accept him, they will naturally stop moving forward because of his scumbag attributes.

But for those women who can accept it, or who are seeking a deal, it is never a question whether you are a scumbag or not. The question is whether you can give her what she wants.

The most fearful thing is that someone pretends to be innocent and decent on the outside, but is dirty on the inside. This is what is truly despised.

You can play around with things if you want, and just do business with people who are willing to do business with you, and that's okay.

But if you pretend to be a decent man but are very carefree on the inside and can't control your carefreeness, then you are ruining people.

You don't have to be kind, but you must be honest.

At least he must be honest with himself.

If you lie to yourself, you will only fool yourself into a trap.

In order not to fall into the trap, he decided to be an honest person.

"Sister, I am actually a scumbag and not a good person."

After another storm, Cao Zhiqiang hugged Hao Shuwen, who was as obedient as a kitten, and sighed softly.

"Are you really willing to follow me like this, without any name or status?"

"What's wrong with this?" Hao Shuwen hugged Cao Zhiqiang's arm and whispered with her eyes closed, "Men are not bad and women don't love you. Who told me to fall in love with you? I admit it.

Besides, there is nothing wrong with following you except for the lack of status. At least I am much freer and happier than in my original home.

Let me tell you, although I seemed to have a lot of glory before, those things were not my own.

I'm like a canary in a cage, I look good, but I'm nothing.

It's different here with you. Although you can't give me status, you are really good to me, you really take care of me, and you care about my feelings.

Unlike them, who always say they are doing it for me, but in fact it is just for themselves.

I have wanted to escape from that home for a long time, but I am incapable and indolent, so I am unable to escape.

It's good to have you. If you support me in the future, I will feel more at ease.

At least you won't force me to do something I don't want to do, and you will fully respect me."

"Is that all?" Cao Zhiqiang asked.

Hao Shuwen opened her eyes, turned to look at Cao Zhiqiang, then smiled and said: "Of course, you are better-looking, more handsome, and more powerful! Only when I am with you do I know how good a woman is, hahaha.

"

Cao Zhiqiang took a deep breath: "Sister, you are playing with fire!"

"Then come and put out the fire!" Hao Shuwen chuckled, "Do you still have the strength? Can you do it?"

Cao Zhiqiang chuckled: "A man can't say no. In this case, I can't pretend that I can't hear you."

After saying that, Cao Zhiqiang turned over, stared at Hao Shuwen and said: "Sister, I tell you honestly, I am not a good person, and I will never become a good person in this life.

Not only that, I am very ambitious and have many desires, and there may be more women around me in the future.

So, I ask you again, even if this is the case, are you willing to be the woman behind me?"

Hao Shuwen closed her eyes: "No matter how bad you are, no matter how many women you have, as long as you are willing to let me be by your side and never leave me, I will be willing to do so."

Cao Zhiqiang exhaled: "Very good, in that case, I can't give you the complete me, so I will give you a successful career and a flourishing flower!"

Neither party knows what the future will bring, but at least at this moment, they both have each other, and that's enough.

Just when Cao Zhiqiang was fighting Hao Shuwen for the third time, He Yuzhu at the Capital Airport was standing with Lou Xiao'e, saying a cordial farewell to He Xiao, who was pulling his suitcase alone and was about to go through the security check and get on the plane.

"Son." He Yuzhu smiled and said to He Xiao, "Are you afraid of going back alone?"

"Don't be afraid." He Xiaodao, "It's not the first time, and my uncle will pick me up there, so there will be no problem."

"Good son." He Yuzhu sighed, "I'm not as good as you. I've grown up and I haven't gone out so far alone."

Lou Xiao'e smiled and said: "Don't say that, the times are different, the environment is different, it's hard to compare."

He Yuzhu smiled and nodded: "Yes, yes."

He Xiao said to He Yuzhu: "Dad, actually I have something to tell you."

"What's going on?" He Yuzhu asked, "Tell me."

He Xiaodao: "Actually, my mother has always wanted me to transfer to high school here."

Before He Yuzhu could reply, Lou Xiao'e smiled and said: "The main thing is to practice his language. You haven't seen him for only two days and you dare to speak? If he is always there and everyone speaks Cantonese and English, I really

I'm afraid that he won't be able to adapt when he grows up."

He Yuzhu nodded: "Okay, that's a good thing. It's good to come to the mainland to study. Hong Kong is richer than us, but if you want to talk about education, it's definitely better here. After all, it's a whole country.

.What’s more, this is our roots, we can’t forget our roots, right?”

"I think so too." Lou Xiao'e smiled.

"I think Hong Kong may look prosperous despite the flowers blooming now, but in fact it's just because of its special geographical location and special period. It's only temporary and won't last forever.

No matter how good it is, Hong Kong is only so big and has limited potential.

Now that China and the United States have reconciled and the country has opened up, our country will develop sooner or later.

So in the future, I am more optimistic about our country.

Even though our country is poor now, it will definitely become rich in the future.

That’s why I want He Xiao to come to the mainland, where there are more opportunities than in Hong Kong.”

He Yuzhu smiled and nodded: "That makes sense, it makes so much sense! Xiao'e, you are worthy of being a college student. You speak with a level of proficiency, and you speak one thing after another, and it also sounds very reasonable. Compared with you,

I’m nothing anymore.”

Lou Xiao'e smiled and stroked her temples, stared into He Yuzhu's eyes and said: "No matter how good I am, I will leave from here. Sooner or later, I, no, our whole family will come back, so if I really come back, you

You can’t ignore me.”

He Yuzhu chuckled, avoiding Lou Xiao'e's fiery eyes, looking down at He Xiao and saying: "He Xiao, if you come to the mainland to go to school in the future, your father will be waiting for you, and when you come back, I will make delicious food for you!

"

He Xiao nodded: "Yes!"

"Drink more water on the plane." Lou Xiao'e followed suit.

"I know." He Xiao nodded again.

Lou Xiao'e then said: "Okay, it's getting late, let's go!"

He Xiao then waved to Lou Xiao'e and He Yuzhu: "Goodbye, mommy, goodbye, daddy."

After saying that, He Xiao picked up his suitcase and went straight through the security check channel.

After watching He Xiao completely leave his sight, He Yuzhu put his hands in his pockets and said to Lou Xiao'e: "Is there water on the plane?"

Lou Xiao'e smiled and nodded: "Yes, of course there is, and there is food to eat. If you want to drink, there is wine in there, but there is no white wine, only red wine and beer."

"Really?" He Yuzhu nodded, "But I heard that there is Maotai to drink on the plane, and you can also smoke."

Lou Xiao'e smiled and said: "The ones you mentioned are domestic routes. This kind of international route does not have the Maotai you mentioned, and smoking is not allowed."

"That's it." He Yuzhu nodded, "Hey, a frog in the well like me who has never traveled far in his life. He has never been on a plane, so naturally he doesn't know the secrets here."

Lou Xiao'e smiled and said: "What about coming to Hong Kong with me and taking a flight to experience it?"

He Yuzhu turned to look at Lou Xiao'e, smiled, and took the initiative to change the subject: "By the way, how do we go back?"

Lou Xiao'e curled her lips and said with a hint of dissatisfaction: "Of course you come back the same way you came. Just take a taxi at the door. Let's go and take a taxi at the door."

He Yuzhu nodded, followed Lou Xiao'e with his hands in his pockets, and said as he walked: "There are more and more four-wheeled taxis now. In the past, most of them were three-wheeled, but now many of them are four-wheeled."

"That's not true." Lou Xiao'e smiled and said, "As the times develop, especially after opening up, changes will only become bigger and faster. If you can't keep up with the changes, you can fall behind at any time."

He Yuzhu smiled: "Yes, yes, but I don't care, I'm already my age, I just need to be a good cook."

Lou Xiao'e glanced at He Yuzhu, shook her head and sighed: "You have no ambition!"

He Yuzhu smiled and said: "Hey, it's not the first day you met me. When I was young, I had no ambitions, and I never thought about becoming a big shot. It's good to be an ordinary cook and an ordinary citizen, hehe

hehe."

"Even if it's for your son, you don't want to work harder?" Lou Xiao'e asked.

"Silly Zhu, I absolutely believe in your cooking skills. Believe me, I will provide the management and you will provide the skills. Let's work together to do a good job. I promise that you will make a great career in this era.

Be a person that makes your son proud of you!"

He Yuzhu blinked and simply avoided Lou Xiao'e's sight again: "What about that? Look, there is a car over there. I'll take a taxi. You wait here."

After saying that, He Yuzhu ran towards a taxi parked not far away.

Seeing He Yuzhu throw it away, Lou Xiao'e sighed and shook her head: "Pretending to be stupid again, let's see how long you can keep pretending!"
