The girl sitting in front of the window looked up when she heard the speech. There was no expression on her delicate white face. She looked at Yan Kuan lightly, and then said in an indifferent tone: "you are not late. I came 10 minutes earlier. I am Yan. I didn't ask for leave to attend the appointment, but took advantage of the lunch break at work, so I don't have much time. I hope you can understand." Yan Kuan stood by his seat and looked at the face in front of him with the golden sunshine pouring in from the window, but he hid his eyes well, and his lips raised a good-looking radian. When he smiled, his eyebrows and eyes also bent slightly. A pair of brown eyes bent into the shape of a new moon, which made his smile look particularly gentle. "It doesn't matter. I'll just sit down and go. I won't waste you a lot of time."

Yan Kuan quietly put away his eyes when he finished this sentence, turned to the empty seat opposite Yan, politely asked, "can I sit opposite you?"

"Please help yourself." Yan nodded and closed the open pages.

After the page was closed, Yan Kuan lowered his eyes and looked at the name of the book at will. Only then did he know that Yan was reading financial engineering.

"Miss Yan likes reading very much?" Yan Kuan asked casually, "seems to be Lorenz's work?"

"It's OK. I've just read too many books over the years. I'm used to reading. I'm not sure if you'll be late, so I'll bring a book to have a look." Yan politely raised the corner of his mouth, drew a very light smile, and pushed the book at hand to the other end of the table while talking.

"Reading is a good habit. I haven't sat down to read for a long time because of my busy work." Yan said to the dessert store employee at the seat, "have a cup of black coffee, thank you."

The clerk nodded and left, leaving only Yan Kuan and Yan in the dining area.

Yan sat up straight and put his hands flat on the table. His sitting posture was very upright but also very formal. The volume of his speech did not change, but it was still plain and crisp: "President Yan, in fact, I have guessed the purpose of your asking me out this time. I have to say that I don't like my elders to ask me for anything. For example, I choose to continue to study as a graduate student, my cousins and cousins. They work separately only when they go to college. Of course, there are people who travel around the world. Only I choose to continue to study, and I don't want to use some of my family's resources like others Relationship to get what. Of course, I admit that I did use these. "

"You are very calm and honest." Yan Kuan's smiling eyes showed some appreciation. "I envy you very much. You can be yourself and have the right to choose."

"In fact, you can too. President Yan, you have worked in the commercial sea for many years and operated Baoli group well. You should understand that opportunities need to be fought for by yourself." Yan smiled and seemed to have deep meaning in a light tone.

"Opportunities need to be grasped by yourself, but not everyone can choose their own will. Miss Yan, you have a good family background and a better family background. Of course, you can't understand how difficult it is for a person in a complex family." At this time, the black coffee has been delivered. Yan Kuan carries a delicate cup holder and gently stirs the hot coffee, as if he were telling a story, "I started to subsidize those poor children to study three years ago. One of the little girls is a low-income family in the mountains of Yunnan Province. They still have three brothers and sisters. Their mother was sold by human traffickers and was beaten into half a madman because she ran away. Her father went to the coal mine to earn money, but the coal mine exploded and died in it. Her brothers and sisters grew up and went to Guangzhou before finishing junior high school I worked in a weaving factory near the border, and the girl was raised by my second uncle because she was too young. The second uncle was a bachelor and didn't marry a daughter-in-law at the age of 40... A man without a wife raised a girl who was developing and about to go to junior high school. You should be able to guess what would happen later. "

Yan Kuan said this and took a sip of coffee, but his eyes were always on Yan's face.

Yan heard this, his sitting body couldn't help retreating, and there was a stiffness on his indifferent face, "then, what happened to the girl?"

"The girl was young and her mother was crazy. No one told her what was wrong. She spent more than a year in a muddle. She had good academic performance, but because of the impact of this kind of thing, she was in a trance all day. The teacher felt strange. When she went home to visit, she knew that the girl slept in the same bed with her second uncle... And then the whole village When everyone knew it, the girl realized how humiliating it was, so she stole a bottle of 'dimethoate' and drank more than half of it. "

"Happy fruit?" Yan frowned. "Is it poison?"

"It's a pesticide, but it's fatal to people. However, it was found that it was rescued in time, but the damage to the lungs caused by that drug is irreparable. At that time, I just sent my assistant to visit poor villages in Yunnan to subsidize some children willing to study. When the assistant heard about this, he called me. Of course, I subsidized it, and the follow-up treatment cost was also reduced I took her from the village and did my best to give her a good living and study treatment. The girl was also very hard-working. The children who lived a hard life cherished the opportunity to study, and her grades were among the best. It was not a problem for her to enter a key high school, and it was also possible for Tsinghua and Peking University. " Yan Kuan smiled and sighed softly, "she is really a hard-working child."

"I know what you mean. If she was born in such a family, she really can't choose many things. But she still grasped the opportunity. Because of you, she can start over. So people often grasp the opportunity more important." Yan's face returned to normal when she heard this.

But Yan Kuan shook his head. The smile on the corner of his mouth was still there. He just lost the temperature and turned into a sneer. "No, what I want to say is that people are often born in a more important environment. If their family situation is too bad, they can't really seize the opportunity in front of them."

Yan narrowed his eyes: "how do you say that?"

"At first, I thought that as long as I gave her a good material life and new hope, she could live again. At first, I was worried that those things would have a psychological shadow on her, and asked a psychologist to help her out of the shadow. Three years later, she was very sunny and lively, warm and cheerful, and no one could imagine what she had experienced in her childhood. She said that her eldest sister wanted to see her, so I agreed and booked a plane The ticket arranged for the hotel to let her relatives stay. After staying in the hotel for half a month, I didn't mean to leave. I asked my assistant to arrange to rent a house for them. After everything was cleaned up, the family lived in. The girl was very happy and said she would study harder to repay me. A week later, most of the students in the girl's birthday class came home to celebrate her birthday, and her eldest sister had nothing in front of a group of students Speaking of the past, the whole class soon knew, and she became the focus of discussion again. The girl didn't tell me such a big thing, but played truant for a week. A week later, she went home, stabbed her eldest sister five or six times with such a long fruit knife, and then opened the window and jumped down from the eighth floor. "

When the story was finished, Yan Kuan told it in an unusually calm tone from beginning to end. His gentle voice was like catkins dancing all over the sky in the spring breeze in March, indifferent but lonely.

He turned his head and looked at the extremely bright sidewalk illuminated by the sun. He looked at the people who hurried to and fro on the sidewalk. His smiling eyes like crescent moon had lost their smile, "You say it's important for people to seize opportunities, but what's more important is the person's family background. Many people's family background is doomed to lose some opportunities. Even if the opportunity is given to him, they will give up because of various factors. Miss Yan may have lived smoothly since childhood, so she takes it for granted that everyone has the same right to choose life as you and has the ability to seize the opportunity. Of course, because your starting point is much better than others, you can grasp it as long as you work hard, but not everyone has your good life. "

Yan looked at Yan Kuan in a daze, and his face was much more dignified than before.

Few people can make Yan speechless, but Yan Kuan did it.

As Yan Kuan said, most of her life has been going well, and when things are not going well, she can try to solve them. One can't choose one's family background. There are many poor people in society. She knows, but she hasn't really understood and contacted them. She has been studying in school all these years, and she doesn't have the ability to support poor children. She hasn't entered school yet When she joined the social work, her family was rich, but she couldn't use her family's money to support it.

She had no direct contact with those poor children in the mountains, and most of her friends were of the same origin as her. Occasionally, she had one or two ordinary families in her classmates, which was also a well-off life with no worries about food and clothing. Therefore, she could only imagine how the children of poor families lived, but she had never really experienced contact.

Now the story Yan Kuan told her really shocked her heart.

A girl could have a good life after she got rid of the shadow, but she couldn't get rid of her own background. The eldest sister may not be careless, but deliberately. She didn't want to think too bad about human nature, but the psychology she learned told her that human nature was complex. She was born in poverty. She ran to be a child worker before finishing a junior high school and stood in the assembly line for 14 hours a day Even longer, the other was funded by entrepreneurs to study and live a princess like life. Why?

Everyone's relatives always hide some people who can't see you. Not every relative is amiable.

"Sorry, in fact, you don't care, just listen to the story." after a long time, Yan Kuan took the initiative to break the peace between the two people, and a gentle smile reappeared on his soft face, "I'm sorry to delay you so long. In fact, I didn't expect you to agree to the request to meet. You are really a different girl. I thought you would ask to meet in a high-end restaurant, but I didn't expect to just make an appointment in this local dessert store."

"I just didn't have much time at noon. I didn't want to go too far away, and I didn't want to see you. I just wanted to pity my parents all over the world, so I went to see you." Yan also restrained his mood and recovered his composure. "You're not quite the same as what I thought. I thought you were looking forward to this meeting, but I didn't think you were just dealing with the family."

"Really?" Yan Kuan smiled with elegance and tranquility, and the slight radian of the corners of his mouth almost overlapped with Shao Jun's smile. "Why?"
