Siheyuan: Rebirth 54 years ago, neighbor is stupid

When he arrived at Li Zhenmin's home, Hu Yong first greeted him normally and then visited his nephews and nieces.

Li Zhenmin was lying in a rocking chair holding his youngest son and humming a little tune. Hu Yong came up to him, said hello, exchanged some pleasantries, and then started to tease his little nephew.

After playing for a while, Jiang Tao came over and said she wanted to hug her grandson, so she took Xiao Qingshan over, leaving only Li Zhenmin and Hu Yong here.

Li Zhenmin had already noticed that Hu Yong was absent-minded when he was teasing the child just now. It was obvious that he was worried about something. Just now, Jiang Tao took the initiative to come over and take Xiao Qingshan away, which was obviously a way for Hu Yong to talk about serious matters.

"Come over for a cup of tea and I'll ask you some questions."

Li Zhenmin stood up and walked towards the tea room.

Hu Yong hurriedly followed.

Arriving at the teahouse, Li Zhenmin poured a cup of tea for Hu Yong and said casually, "We are all family, so just tell me what you want to say. When you have finished, I can ask you some questions."

Hu Yong was curious about what Li Zhenmin wanted to ask him, but when he heard Li Zhenmin asked him to speak first, he didn't act pretentiously. Or maybe he has never been good at refuting or rejecting others. Since Li Zhenmin asked him to speak, he would do as Li Zhenmin said.

After thinking about it, he finally decided that it would be better to get straight to the point, so he said, "Brother, can you talk to the factory and ask them to change my position?"

Li Zhenmin was stunned, but he was not dissatisfied. Instead, he asked in confusion: "Have you thought about it? What position do you want to take?"

Li Zhenmin had no aversion to the request to change jobs. After all, young people have their own ideas, and the job he inherited might not be suitable for Hu Yong. If Hu Yong had a job that he was more interested in or better at, it would make Li Zhenmin happy if he could speak up.

After all, Hu Yong seldom speaks out his thoughts. Perhaps he has always felt inferior to his elder brother. Now that he can speak it out directly, it is a psychological breakthrough and a good thing.

However, what Li Zhenmin didn't expect was that Hu Yong scratched his head awkwardly and replied, "Well, I want to go to the administrative department, preferably the personnel department. Is that okay with you?"

"Administration?" Li Zhenmin had no idea why this happened. For a technician to suddenly change careers and work in human resources, the transition was too big. More importantly, in his mind, Hu Yong was not the right person for the job.

"Why do you want to go to the Administration Department? Is this your own idea, or is it something else? Can you tell me the specific idea?"

Li Zhenmin did not refuse immediately, but asked the reason gently.

Hu Yong hesitated, not knowing how to answer for a moment.

Li Zhenmin guessed what was going on, so he said, "Your request is not difficult, and it's not even a request. I can help you by saying a few words, and it will be done without any accidents, but I don't want you to do this."

Hu Yong subconsciously asked: "Why?"

Li Zhenmin replied truthfully: "Everyone has their own areas of expertise, or everyone has their own talents and specialties. Some specialties are cultivated since childhood, such as Zhuzi's job as a cook. If you have not cultivated any abilities since childhood, you must choose an industry and position based on your personality."

"As for innate talents, ordinary people don't have the conditions to develop them."

"And you, like most people, are the second type I mentioned. The best way is to choose an industry and position based on your personality."

"The reason why I don't approve of you going to the administrative department is mainly because you have an upright character and are not suitable for those things. If you force yourself to do it, you will get half the result with half the effort, and you may not make any progress in your entire life."

"You are not young anymore. Have you ever thought about this aspect? Or, have you ever thought about how you can do your job if you are in that position? Or, have you ever understood what that position is about?"

Li Zhenmin tried to explain the truth as simply as possible, and also tried to make his tone softer and less reprimanding.

Hu Yong was curious when he heard this: "Aren't HR positions about recruiting people and assigning work? I can do those, right?"

Li Zhenmin thought about it, and finally explained patiently: "This is just the most basic work, anyone can do it, but why can some people do it well and others can't? If you want to do a good job in that area, you should actually ask your sister-in-law first."

"But the fact that you didn't ask shows that you are the type of person who will keep things to yourself and try to solve the problem yourself. This kind of personality is not suitable for human resources work."

“Human resources work requires communication and trade-offs. You may understand this principle, but whether you can do it is another matter.”

"I won't go into details. Maybe you will say that you can learn a lot of things slowly while working, which is understandable, but you have a good job now, why do you have to learn things you are not good at from scratch?"

"It's like Zhuzi was a cook. He was doing well, but suddenly he had to work as a fitter. What's the point? His salary would be reduced, some people would exclude him, and it would be hard to learn new things."

"So, your request is not excessive, but I am curious about what made you think this way. I don't think it was you who thought this way."

"If someone guides you or forces you to come up with this idea, I would think that person has ulterior motives. To a normal person, wouldn't this be to ruin your future and deliberately torment you?"

As Li Zhenmin spoke, his tone became heavier.

Hu Yong was a little dissatisfied at first. Just like Li Zhenmin said, he thought he could learn everything slowly in the new position. But after hearing what Li Zhenmin said, his expression became serious.

Ulterior motives?

Ruining your own future?

He shook his head, not daring to think about this possibility, thinking that Li Zhenmin's speculation was a bit excessive.

Li Zhenmin felt a little uncomfortable when he saw this, so he waved his hand and said, "You make a request to me without telling me the specific reason. To be honest, this kind of behavior is hard to make people feel comfortable."

"I feel like you haven't thought through a lot of things yet. Why don't you go back and think about it carefully? If you have really thought it through, or decide to stick to your idea today, I will do it for you then."

At this point Li Zhenmin was really angry.

But because of this family, he still didn't want to make a big deal out of it, and didn't want to directly scold Hu Yong and hurt his self-esteem.

Hu Yong did not understand the final warning and disappointment in Li Zhenmin's tone. All he could think about now was whether Li Zhenmin was just trying to get by with him. If he failed to get it done this time, would he find other excuses next time?

After Malanlan's constant "influence" over the years, he has become paranoid.

He had an idea in his heart that even if he was being unreasonable, he still hoped that Li Zhenmin would directly agree to and tolerate his idea, and then use this to prove that his elder brother's love for him was comprehensive, and then use this method to refute Ma Lanlan.

So when he came here, he had fantasies in his heart, fantasizing that Li Zhenmin would agree to him the first time no matter what the reason was, but the reality was different from what he thought.

So the paranoid heart becomes even more paranoid.
