Chapter 373 (1/2)

Sean was a broken mind, zero did not feel how unexpected. If theon can't see through, he's not theon.

”I need your knowledge and talent very much, Mr. sheen,” he admits

”I understand.” Theon lit himself a cigar and handed it to zero.

For this kind of rough ”cigarette”, zero lack of interest, he shook his head to show that he was not interested. Sheen put the cigar back in his pocket. He said, ”it's a good product. It's from the herbens. It's a pity you don't try it.”

Zero fist slightly tight, although it is only a very plain sentence, but the meaning is very obvious. With theon's ability, it's no surprise that he will be solicited by the herbans. He hesitated and said, ”you...”

”No. Although there is a lack of housekeeper who can handle all kinds of situations, I refuse their invitation Theon's face was dimming under the flash of the cigar. He looked at zero and said, ”believe me, zero. The conditions offered by the herbens are definitely better than you can imagine. If it was before, I would not refuse. But now, I'm not the Sean I used to be. By the time remt was buried in the hands of the monsters, theon was dead. Now I'm just trying to survive in order not to let Pera's sacrifice be in vain. ”

Taking a deep breath, sheen looked at the dim base board and sighed, ”it's hard to live, zero. Especially living aimlessly like me, can you imagine? Every night I have to drink a bottle of liquor to go to sleep, and every morning I wake up in a trance thinking that I'm still in remtrey. That fire, not only buried me and Pera, but also completely destroyed my dream. Zero, a person without a dream, how to help you who are building your ideal blueprint. ”

”I can't do it because I'm afraid that all my efforts will end in a war.” Looking at zero, sheen said faintly.

For the first time, zero felt the pain in this man's heart, as well as his hopelessness. Now standing in front of him, Sean, who was still talking and laughing in the VIP room just now, was nothing more than his body and his remaining instinct. As Sheehan said, the real him, his soul died when remt fell.

But

”Can you believe me for once?” Zero looked at theon seriously and said, ”I know it's not easy. I can feel the pain and despair in your heart. Because like Mr. sheen, I lost everything. The people I love, the people I care about, my friends, my comrades in arms. Those once beautiful, because of the cruelty of the world, they left. Or helpless, maybe tragic, but I can't keep them. All this, because my strength is not strong enough. So from then on, I wanted to be strong and change the world. Naive or arrogant, some dreams, always put into everything; In some battles, escape is not allowed. But I can't do this alone. I need partners, like Feng, belien and others. And Mr. Sheehan, even if you lend me your ability, I will build the dream country in return! ”

On the end of the cigar, the flames flickered slightly, like theon's confused thoughts.

After a moment's silence, sheen whispered, ”it's moving, zero.”

He shook his head and said, ”I know your ideal, your ambition. I'm glad you can feel my pain and helplessness, but these are not enough, zero. I've lost everything and I don't want to change anything. Money, I think the income of this position is enough for me to spend the rest of my life; Quan, although I am not a big man in this city, many big men are willing to make friends with me. If I want to, I can get ten times more power than I am now. So, what can you give me, zero? ”

This is not only a question that can not be answered by zero, but also a realistic question.

Theon continued: ”if I were twenty years younger, maybe I would promise you. But I am no longer young, the rest of this life is given to me by Pera, I can't take it to squander. So zero, if you want me to work for you, you must give me a reason to do so! ”

Zero silent, he shook his head wry smile: ”I can't find.”

Sheen laughed, patted him on the shoulder and said, ”that's the only way. When you find it, come back to me. But before that, I can share with you a secret of my business. It should be a gift for your company to start business. ”

”Go ahead, please.” Zero asked modestly.

”What do you think of Douglas?” sheen asked as they walked to the entrance and strolled down the main street of the base

Zero one sign, casually replied: ”superior, no shelf, approachable. I get a lot of help from him. Although he has his own purpose, on the whole, I appreciate what he has done for me. ”Sheen chuckled and said, ”it's like a kind old man, isn't it?”

Zero shrugged and said, ”that's about it.”

”Even if you think so, I can only say that glass's image is very successful.” Theon said faintly, but there was something in it.

Zero brow slightly wrinkled: ”you mean...”

”No, I don't mean anything else. Douglas really cultivated you with great care, and he didn't mean you any harm. There's no doubt about that. I just want to remind you that what you see is not the whole picture of Douglas. Zero, you have to remember that every big man can become a big man because of their ambition. ” Theon said solemnly, ”ambition and desire are innate instincts of human beings. But ambition can be divided into high and low. It's like wilderness. A refugee who can only have one piece of bread every day hopes to eat ten pieces of bread every day. This is also ambition. For Douglas, his ambition is more than just an asgart. That's the difference between the big and the small. Douglas is investing in you now, and the investment needs a return, zero. ”

Theon suddenly said with a smile, ”so don't let the temporary favor blind you. There is no such thing as a free lunch. One day, Douglas will ask you for something in return. Once you can't or don't want to take it out, you will find that you don't know the old man that well. ”

In silence, Sean's words had a huge shock to him. Just like this man said, he had never thought about these things before, but now he was punctured by theon and found that he was too immature in many places.

For example, it's easy to trust people, even if they think they are quite careful. Of course, Sean doesn't mean to be careful of Douglas. After all, it's good for zero now. For at least a year or two, Douglas won't do anything threatening to zero.

But later, who knows?

Nothing is unchangeable, but among the constantly changing things, interests always become the fastest.

With theon's reminder, zero suddenly realized that not all investments are worth accepting. Before accepting, he must consider whether he can get something in return.

Among them, there is an invisible ruler, whose name is interest.

”Thank you, Mr. sheen.” Zero said sincerely.

Sean nodded with satisfaction and said, ”it seems that you are not a fool with muscles in your head. That's good. Then you should be able to understand what I'm going to say.”

”Don't take yourself too high, zero. Never do that, even if you are above ten thousand people, keep a humble heart. ” Sheen said faintly.

Zero opened his eyes, this contains too much meaning, zero seems to capture, but also seems to understand nothing. In his ears, theon's deep voice sounded.

”Humility is not shameful. It allows you to see yourself clearly and not do stupid things beyond your ability. It may not help you succeed, but at least it will help you reduce or even avoid mistakes. As long as you don't make mistakes, you have half the success. Only by being humble can you see the wider world. Put yourself down, and people will be happy to interact with you. But... ”Sheen stressed:” humility does not mean cowardice, it is a kind of self-discipline, is introverted. The object of humility should be your elder, lover, friend and partner. As for the enemy, naturally, there is no need to give them any respect. ”

”Those who violate our territory should be rewarded by thunder. This is the iron rule of the new era. Otherwise, how can we establish our own prestige? ” Sean said again: ”look at Douglas and them. How do these big people get their prestige? It was the blood of both hands, but they never doubted themselves, because they believed that they were right. In the pursuit of ideals, there is never a smooth road to go, even if the end of the ideal is to bring happiness to all. But the foundation of this country is also made of blood and bones. If you don't have the belief that you will go on even if you are accused, you'd better give up as soon as possible. ”
