Qiu Tong said with a smile: "maybe what you said is reasonable, but most of the time, what we are facing is not necessarily the principle of right and wrong. There is no need to tit for tat. Take a step back, others will pass, and you can pass. Loose and harmonious interpersonal relationship can bring us a lot of convenience and avoid a lot of trouble.


    "If you have lofty aspirations, you can concentrate on accumulating strength; if you only want to be an ordinary person, you can live a leisurely life. You can advance or retreat, and the road is at both ends. Why not? Perhaps you will say that this is too sophisticated, too tactful, right? You may say that this is not to suppress the free development of personality? In fact, convergence is actually a shortcut to protect the healthy development of personality and realize self-worth


    "I don''t know if you have noticed how many people, because of their youth and their love of publicity, have run into walls everywhere. In order to adapt to the society, they have to smooth out their edges and corners, so that they lose their spirit and finally achieve nothing. There is a saying that a good knife comes from the blade? A person''s edge should also be shown to the public at the critical time and when necessary. At that time, people will naturally admit that you are indeed a sharp sword. Instead of taking it out and waving it from time to time, I''m willing to kill others. The blade needs to be sharpened for a long time. If you don''t know how to maintain it, it will be passivated. "


    I looked at Qiutong with a smile: "well That''s right


    Qiu Tong continued: "the literary giant Bernard Shaw has won the respect and admiration of many people. It is said that he was very smart and humorous since he was a child, but when he was young, he especially liked to show his sharpness and speak bitterly. If anyone said a word to him, he would have a sense of incompleteness.


    "Later, an old friend said to him in private: you often speak in seclusion now, which is very funny and gratifying. But everyone thinks that if you are not present, they will be happier, because they can''t compare with you. With you, they dare not speak. Your talent is a little better than them, but in this way, friends will gradually leave you, what''s the benefit to you?


    "His old friend''s words made Bernard Shaw wake up from a dream. He felt that if he didn''t restrain himself and make a complete change, the society would no longer accept him. What''s more, he would lose his friend? So he set up his aim. From then on, he would never speak sharp words any more. He wanted to give full play to his talent in literature. This transformation changed his position in the literary world later


    "This example tells us that in ordinary times, showing our talents will make us rebel from our relatives and go to a dead end. We should appropriately restrain our talents and use them to useful events to accumulate strength. It''s bound to be a career. "


    This example made me deeply agree with it, so I nodded: "well said, since you don''t advocate showing your edge, how do you think you can do it?"


    Qiu Tong said, "my philosophy is that silence is golden."


    "Silence is golden?" I look at Qiutong.


    "Yes, silence is golden In fact, I also get inspiration from you. Many times, you are a silent mountain, but you may not be aware of it Qiu Tong looks at me with a smile.


    "Am I? I didn''t realize it I laughed, too.


    Qiu Tong said: "no matter in the workplace or in the officialdom, we will see such people, who are mainly young people. When they arrive at the new unit, they will talk freely and freely. They have the spirit of not afraid of tigers. But this kind of sharp display may make the more subjective leaders and colleagues feel that you are arrogant and extreme I have a bad impression of you.


    "Besides, the shallowness and impetuousness of free talk are also damaging your image. It''s better for you to keep a proper silence. It''s a modest and friendly expression. It''s also a manifestation of self-confidence and strength. You can show your edge in your work and win your reputation with outstanding performance and modest style. "


    I watched Qiutong intently.


    "If you are smarter than others, you don''t have to let others know. Time will prove everything. Gold always shines. It''s a necessary self-protection as well as an inner temperament to be admired by others. " Qiu Tong said again.


    I nodded: "well Qiutong, I find that you are more and more thoughtful. "


    "Learn from you, practice and life." Qiu Tong said with a smile.


    "Ha I''m not qualified to be your teacher. " I suddenly remembered what Qiu Tong called just now and said, "how can I be called her second master?"


    "Isn''t that right? Don''t they call you second master all the time? Don''t you have no objection? " Qiutong looks at me.


    "I can''t help it. She has to call it that. I can''t stop her. Alas Helpless, helpless. " I sighed.


    "You found it yourself. Who asked you to be a mistress?" Qiu Tong said.


    "I -" I stopped, and then began to quibble: "what''s wrong with calling her mistress? I''m praising her, looking up at her and encouraging her."


    "Ha, you''re talking nonsense again." Qiu Tong smiles with two dimples on her face, which makes my heart move. I want to pour some wine in and drink it.I pretended to be upright: "I''m not bullshit. What I''m saying is true. You see, the great women in modern history, the national Mother, are not all second wives? For example, Song Qingling, Song Meiling and Jiang Qing are all... "


    Qiu Tong was happy: "I''d like to ask you to say that to be a great woman, you have to be a third child first and a second wife first? Sophistry


    I said: "to be a great woman is not to be a junior, but to choose who to be a junior! It''s like doing things. A lot of things don''t depend on whether to do them or not, but on who to do them with. "


    "That sounds reasonable to you..."


    "It makes a lot of sense..."


    "Ha ha, according to you, it''s right for Xiayu to follow you as a second wife, isn''t it? It''s right for her to follow you, isn''t it?"


    I laughed and began to speak freely, blurting out: "I don''t want her to be a mistress with me. You''re almost the same."


    As soon as I spoke, I suddenly felt that something was wrong, but I couldn''t take it back.


    Qiu Tong''s face suddenly turned red, staring at me: "you - you are the second master, you -"


    "I I I''m kidding I am anxious, some flustered, busy said: "in fact, you are not suitable to be a second wife, you are suitable to be a big one."


    When I say this, I feel more confused. What nonsense is this.


    "You --" Qiu Tong''s face was more red: "what are you talking about. You How can you talk like that


    It can be seen that Qiutong looks a little flustered. In fact, my heart is also flustered. Although it''s a joke, it doesn''t sound like that between me and Qiutong.


    Qiutong''s face was red and drooping, and her fingers were shaking the table uneasily.


    For a moment, we were silent. The air in the room was awkward and ambiguous. Of course, the ambiguity was my own feeling. I don''t know what Qiutong felt like.


    Silent for a long time, I stood up and said softly: "Qiutong."


    "Well..." Qiu Tong bowed his head and agreed.


    "I''m going."


    "Well..." Qiutong still didn''t look up.


    I went out, and when I got to the door, I looked back at the door.


    Seeing Qiutong looking up at me, his eyes were confused and flustered.


    My heart jumped and I closed the door and went out.


    When I got back to the office, Cao Teng wasn''t there, and I sat at my desk, my heart still beating wildly


    Half a day, a little calm, I looked at the computer screen in a daze, and then hesitated, landing button, see floating life is online.


    "Here we are." I hit the keyboard.


    "Well Just came up, and you were there


    "I''ve just come How are you doing? "


    "Well, good You may as well


    "I''m fine It''s getting cold. Go out and wear more clothes Don''t freeze. "


    "Well, I will, and you should pay more attention to yourself."


    "Well..."


    Then, we fell into silence. It seems that we all have a lot to say, but we don''t know what to say.


    Half a day, floating life like a dream, began to speak: "guest guest guest."


    "I am -"


    "I..."


    "Whatever you want to say, say it."


    "I I''ve been so tangled and conflicted recently. "


    "What''s the matter?"


    "I I don''t know if I should tell you. "


    "If you think it''s necessary to talk to me, you can say it. If you don''t think it''s suitable to talk to me, you don''t have to say it!" My heart is beating wildly again.


    "I Alas... " She sighed: "I know I shouldn''t tell you, but However, I can''t help but want to tell you I can''t say that to anyone around me, except you... "


    "Say it then." I said.


    She was silent.


    I''m speechless, looking at the dialogue window on the computer screen.


    "I I''m sorry for you. I''m sorry for our... " For a while, she said.


    My heart suddenly trembled, a sense of speechless flow in the body diffuse.


    "Why do you say that?" My fingers on the keyboard were shaking, and I knew what she was going to say.


    "Because Because I I betrayed my feelings for you I I I don''t know what happened to me. I feel so mean and guilty. "


    "What''s the matter?" I said.


    "I I don''t know what happened


    "I don''t know why, why do you say that again?"


    "I I don''t know when I unconsciously treat a person in reality as you, knowing that he is not you, knowing that you are the shadow in the air, but I don''t know how to treat him To him I have that feeling. "


    "Oh..." My heart does not know whether it is ecstasy or panic, I do not know whether it is pain or contradiction.


    "Is this the ike?" I said.


    "You How do you know? ""I guess it is. I guessed it right You are a real person, and the one you mention most in front of me is this guy. " I said, "you mean you''re in love with him, don''t you?"


    "I I don''t know Maybe It''s I''m sorry, Hakka. I''m wrong. I know I''m wrong. I shouldn''t have this feeling for him. I should only have this feeling for you. I shouldn''t have this feeling for anyone any more.


    She said, "but But I also know that he has a girlfriend. His girlfriend and I are as close as sisters. I have such feelings for him. I know that I am mean, shameless and sinful. I am sorry for you and my sisters I I''m so miserable, I''m so tangled. "
