"Teacher, I’ve read your letter, and while I truly appreciate it, I’m currently in a humble position and in a remote area. Even if I et a better teacher, it would be an opportunity wasted."
"There’s an old saying, ’Virtue not matching one’s position brings harm.’ While teachers wouldn’t harm , after careful consideration, it’s temporarily of no use to . Opportunities that don’t suit oneself aren’t necessarily opportunities."
"Thank you for your deep concern, but such kindness, for now, I cannot accept, so I can only let down your goodwill." Lu Cheng finished editing the ssage, read it several tis, and then pressed send.
Lu Cheng didn’t know who Xiao Mingqi was, nor their status. He didn’t doubt Xiao Mingqi’s connections and abilities.
But the person Xiao Mingqi wanted to recomnd to Lu Cheng was too far away from his reach; Lu Cheng simply didn’t have the capability to manage it.
A child without a lavish outfit in a bustling market is more absurd than a toddler holding gold.
What Lu Cheng currently lacks is the ability to convert potential into real, tangible assets, such as recognized skills and academic papers, rather than building connections with people.
An interpersonal network not established by oneself is ultimately superficial.
Not ntioning Professor Zhong Junyun, even with people like Chen Song and Tong Yuan’an, if Lu Cheng doesn’t have real skills, his ties with them might only remain at Long County People’s Hospital.
Few have taught Lu Cheng that he must be truly capable and adapt his networking to his abilities.
But Lu Cheng can observe both himself and others.
Not every place is Rongcheng, and compared to people like Tian Zhuang, Lu Cheng doesn’t have anything particularly special, except that his ’learning speed’ is sowhat faster.
If without the ability to support himself, then Lu Cheng is just another ’Tian Zhuang,’ not even as good as ’Zeng Huanqi’ or ’Zhang Tiesheng,’ and he couldn’t have established the current cooperation ties.
Moreover, Lu Cheng had already received many ’lessons’ from Professor Zhong Junyun!
A teacher’s role isn’t necessarily beneficial; teachings can co in various forms.
Whippings and beatings can also teach many lessons.
Sotis, one lesson is enough.
Xiao Mingqi didn’t reply again.
Mu Nanshu, on the other hand, cautiously said, "Bride price is a common custom here. You also know, I don’t really care about that money, and neither do my parents."
"But without this process, it wouldn’t look good."
"The wedding process, when you think about it, is mostly for show."
Lu Cheng returned to the WeChat page and replied more realistically, "Book Bag, do you think it’s who’s crazy or my parents who can’t understand, twelve thousand bride price for marrying a woman making three or four hundred thousand a year."
"A great deal, no loss, right?"
Mu Nanshu quickly replied, "You?"
Lu Cheng said, "It’s a bit harsh, but it’s indeed reality, what you just ntioned is also a realistic issue."
"For us, happiness is the most important. For , if you want, I can give you my salary card, it doesn’t matter."
Mu Nanshu said, "I didn’t an that, you’ve already given many good opportunities, for example, you made a correspondent for those projects."
"That’s priceless."
Lu Cheng laughed and asked, "So are you saying, you’re worth a hundred pounds at twelve hundred a pound?"
Mu Nanshu sent an angry voice ssage, "I’ll get really mad if you keep talking like that."
Lu Cheng replied, "Isn’t it possible that what you just said already made a bit angry? We’ve discussed this before, bringing it up again makes it seem like my parents are hard to deal with, doesn’t it?"
"Or maybe your parents think my parents are hard to deal with."
Mu Nanshu fell silent for a while and didn’t reply again.
Lu Cheng said, "Sigh, to be honest, I also feel that during engagents and weddings, discussing the bride price is quite sensitive. No matter the amount, both sides are sensitive."
"From what I know, most conflicts start here."
"Anyway, when you explained this to , I felt you were already becoming sensitive."
"Of course, when I say these things to you, I also beco a bit sensitive. Because I feel, even if my parents change roles in the future, you’ve been with them for so many years."
"In my opinion, the points you need to adjust should be slightly fewer."
Lu Cheng had never been married, nor had he been engaged, but he knew that as a diator, he had to step up at this ti.
Many conflicts between both sides probably co from the diator trying to appease both ends.
But Lu Cheng felt, at this ti, being slightly assertive as a diator might be better.
No basis, just a personal choice.
"I’m sorry," Mu Nanshu eventually replied with these three words after a long ti.
Lu Cheng said, "I should be the one apologizing to you too, I ntioned earlier, my emotions are also a bit sensitive now."
"Actually, it’s not just what you ntioned, but I realized when my parents ca to see the house here, they beca extrely cautious."
"Picking details to the point they almost created a three-bedroom apartnt out of shoe space."
"I feel a bit stifled inside, and at certain monts, I even thought they were pretending too much. But most of the ti, I felt they were thinking too lowly of themselves, their thoughts too sensitive."
"For a mont, I even thought, if my inco were much higher and they beca wealthier, our families could be well-matched, and perhaps they’d feel better."
