Working Prophet

"I heard that you changed your job?" Xu Ming put his phone on the table and asked while drinking Coke.

"Consultation is probably about listening to other people tell me about the troubles they encounter, and then helping them solve the problems." Li Yu said.

"The House of Everything in "Gintama"?"

"It's a bit like it."

"It sounds quite interesting," Xu Mingdao said, "Then if I encounter any difficulties in the future, I will go to you to solve them, and I can also take care of your business."

"You'd better not get your hopes up too much."

"Why?"

"Because humans are not gods after all. No matter how hard we try, some difficulties cannot be solved." Li Yu said.

"It sounds so depressing, but it's not like you would say it." Xu Ming was a little surprised, "Why, is the new job not going well?"

"Not really," Li Yu paused, "but there is something that is really bothering me."

At this time, the proprietress brought up the cold dishes ordered by the two of them, a plate of cold chrysanthemum, and a plate of gluten with sesame sauce.

Xu Ming took out two pairs of disposable chopsticks from the chopstick bucket, handed one pair to Li Yu, and broke the other pair by himself, rubbing the wooden splinters on them, "Let's hear it."

"Well, do you still remember a debate topic in the debate club? Is that unconscious evil really evil?"

"I have a little impression." Xu Ming took a mouthful of gluten first, and then greeted, "Don't just talk, eat it quickly, it still tastes the same, it hasn't changed at all... It's strange to say that the sesame sauce and chili oil in other places It doesn't smell like his home."

Then Xu Ming couldn't help letting out a sigh of emotion, "Ah, when it comes to the debate club, I really miss when I was in school. Every year, many beautiful junior girls join the club. That bastard president, relying on the little power in his hand, changes every year." Girlfriend. I heard that guy is working as a headhunter now, so many female job seekers will probably suffer."

"President Zhang?"

"Yes, I met him at the China World Trade Center before. I digressed. Let's not talk about that guy. Is unconscious evil evil? Is there anything wrong with this argument? I remember we won the argument at that time.

"Evil deeds are evil deeds and have nothing to do with subjective consciousness. When a chick is just born, it will push other companions out of the nest and throw them to death. It may not realize that it is doing evil, but it is just out of the survival instinct of getting more food.

"But its behavior did have a very bad impact on other chicks, so this is a kind of evil... I remember what you said at that time."

"Well." Li Yu also took a sip of orange juice, "Suppose a group of people did bad things, but for the purpose of survival, and then they find you and are willing to pay you a large sum of money in the hope that you can save them. And you happen to have the ability to save them, and you need that reward very much, what will you do?"

"Is it illegal?"

"What?"

"Did I say it's illegal to save them?"

"This...is not illegal."

"Then there's nothing to hesitate about. Save him." Xu Ming said without hesitation.

"They are evil people, according to our previous discussion."

"Yeah, so what, what does it have to do with me that they are evil people? And as you said, the reward is very generous, and you happen to need that reward. Isn't this really illegal? Listen to your description, That group of people seems to have committed something big, be careful, make money and make money, don't get yourself involved," Xu Ming advised.

"What they committed is quite big and serious, but it does not violate the laws of our country." Li Yu said.

"That's it." Xu Ming thought for a while, "I will save him."

"I thought you would persuade me to give up the reward from a moral point of view..."

"Morality is of no use. Can it keep you fed? Of course, I'm not saying that people don't need morality. Without morality, the world will become a bloody primitive jungle. No one would like to live in this kind of world. It’s a hell of a place, but...Li Yu, do you know what your problem has always been?”

"What?"

"You have set your moral bottom line too high. You are capable, think clearly, and are organized. You are the most outstanding person I have ever met. You work hard enough, but you know why you have been unable to do anything for the past three years. Promotion?"

"Because I always have bad things happen to me?"

"You asked for it."

"I'm trying not to be nosy now."

"Not meddling in other people's business is just the first step. Next, you have to learn to let go of yourself. When things come to you or you want to do something, you have to lower your moral standards appropriately."

"This is a bit difficult, because what I am doing now is a job full of moral sense." Li Yu said.

"It doesn't matter, double standards are human instinct." Xu Ming sighed, "Do you remember when we discussed education? What you said at that time impressed me deeply."

"What words?"

"You said that our education system will tend to reward top students who abide by the system and rules, but when we enter society, we often find that the final winners are those who do not follow the rules and take the ordinary path."

"Well, schools or teachers should do this to reduce students' management costs. To achieve this goal, they will try their best to continuously strengthen students' obedience. After all, the evaluation dimension when studying is very single, which is grades." Li Yu said.

The boss lady had already put the grilled squid, shrimp and meat skewers out on the iron plate, and the meat smelled fragrant.

Xu Ming first picked the oily chicken wings grilled on skewers, and said while eating, "But the society is different. Unless you are so capable that you can't live without the people around you, otherwise it is very important to be a human being. And if your moral bottom line exceeds High, it may not even be able to carry on with normal work.”

Li Yu picked up a bunch of squid whiskers, "I didn't exaggerate to that extent. In fact, I chose to save people, but I feel a little uncomfortable."

Some things are not convenient for Li Yu to say, but what really touched him was what Miss Rabbit said to him before leaving Teacup Castle.

The girl looked into his eyes and said seriously, "I don't like those lizardmen at all, the reason why I agree with them to settle in my territory is not because I believe they will abide by their agreement with me, but because I believe in you. "

This sentence made Li Yu somewhat concerned.

Xu Ming was still rambling, "Really, you have been working for more than three years, and you should have seen all kinds of messy things than me. Fortunately, I am still worried about when you will become black. I didn't expect Are you still struggling with this kind of thing?

"You are the president of Xuexue Zhang. The last time I saw him, that guy was very powerful. He seems to have been promoted again. No matter how bad it is, let's look at the starting point. Don't you know that killing decisive protagonists is popular recently? , the so-called revenge does not separate chapters, if there is a disagreement, blood will be spattered for five steps, so everyone loves to watch it."

"Understood, enjoy your skewers." Li Yu said, "I will handle my affairs myself."

Sorry, half an hour late.
