Chapter 1202

Generally speaking, girls mature earlier than boys.

Yuan Lu was also a year older than Yuan Zhe and had even dropped out of school for a year.

Therefore, her thinking was more mature, and she already had her own plans for the future.

Yuan Zhe was different. His father was a section-level cadre, and his mother was also a civil servant.

His grandparents were both intellectuals. Born into such a family and living in a city, his conditions were inherently better than Yuan Lu's.

It couldn't be said he was spoiled, but his thinking wasn't mature yet, and he didn't have his own long-term plans.

If there was no one pushing him from behind, given this kid's flighty personality, his future life would definitely take many detours.

Yuan Zhe blinked: "Are you giving me advice, or are you making me repeat a year?"

"Of course it's advice." Zhou Andong said: "You have to walk your future life yourself; I can't replace you, so I don't have the right to decide anything for you.

Your choice now will determine how easy your future path is and how far you can go. For example, you said you want to join the Yugong Group after graduation; I can promise you that right now.

No matter what university you attend, even if it's a junior college, I can arrange for you to enter the group. But I must tell you that just this year, the group, including the distillery, Xurishang, Yuzhou Technology, Yuxi Real Estate, and the Yongchuang Tianya Brewery,

recruited more than two hundred college students, among whom more than forty were graduates from prestigious schools like Beijing Normal University and Tsinghua or Peking University. Think about it, if you only graduate from an ordinary institution, or even a junior college, how can you compete with these heaven-favored children?

It's true that I am the chairman, but I told you back then that how far you can go depends on yourself. If you are eliminated in the competition, you can only stay in place forever.

I will never promote you just because you are my younger brother. In the Yugong Group, the capable go up and the mediocre go down. Of course, if you have the ability, I'm not the kind of fool who avoids appointing relatives.

If your abilities are comparable among a group of competitors, I will definitely push you forward because you are Zhou Andong's younger brother. So, you need to be careful about how you choose."

Yuan Zhe fell into deep thought. Zhou Andong's words really touched him deeply and also shook his idea of not repeating a year.

Zhou Andong patted him on the shoulder: "There's still one semester left. Sprint hard and don't have any psychological pressure. As for whether you choose to go wherever you get into or repeat a year, let's talk about it after the exam."

"Right!" Seeing Jian Qiu said: "It's still a bit early to talk about this now."

"Oh, right!" Yuan Liying came out from the inner room: "Your third uncle called. Yuan Mei gave birth to a big, fat boy, seven jin and eight liang."

Zhou Andong smiled and said: "He's really not small."

"Isn't he!" Yuan Liying said: "Yuan Mei said to let you, the uncle, give the child a name."

Zhou Andong scratched his head as soon as he heard this, then looked at Yuan Lu: "Xiaolu, what is your brother-in-law's name?"

Yuan Lu said: "His name is Yao Peng."

Seeing Jian Qiu hit him: "You've been together for more than a month, and you didn't even remember his name?"

"I remembered." Zhou Andong said dissatisfiedly: "I was just asking casually, what if I got it wrong?"

"You still didn't remember." Zhou Anqin muttered.

Zhou Andong ignored her and pondered for a moment: "Let's call him Yao Shun."

"Yao Shun?" Everyone looked at Zhou Andong. An Jing asked: "What does it mean?"

Zhou Andong said: "The Yao surname comes from the Gui surname. Before Shun became emperor, the Four Mountains once recommended the Taotang clan to Emperor Yao. After Shun inherited the throne, Emperor Yao married his two daughters to Shun and let them live by the Gui River.

Their descendants who remained living by the Gui River took Gui as their surname. After King Wu destroyed the Shang, he found Gui Man, a descendant of Emperor Shun, married his daughter to Gui Man, and enfeoffed him in Chen, later changing the surname to Gui. After five generations, it changed to the Yao surname.

Shun was an emperor and also the ancestor of the Yao surname. Naming him Yao Shun borrows the luck of an emperor, to be respected by others and enjoy wealth and glory. Like a ten-thousand-foot building, rising from the ground."

"Good!" An Jing couldn't help but shout 'good': "This name is good."

Comrade Old Zhou came out pushing the tires of his wheelchair: "This name is indeed good, and the meaning is also good."

"I'll call your third uncle tonight." Yuan Liying said, then looked at the time: "I'll push your dad to do his rehabilitation training. You go handle the discharge procedures. The training will be done in an hour, and then we'll leave directly."

Zhou Andong said: "Isn't rehabilitation training only done every afternoon? What time is it now?"

"There's no fixed time for rehabilitation training." Yuan Liying pushed Comrade Old Zhou out: "We go every afternoon because the rehabilitation center is crowded in the morning."

"Alright!" Zhou Andong nodded: "I'll go handle the discharge procedures right now."

Discharge procedures were easy to handle. As long as you didn't owe the hospital money, you could leave whenever you wanted.

In less than half an hour, the procedures were finished. The main thing was that there were more than two thousand yuan left in the account, and getting a refund was troublesome; otherwise, it wouldn't have taken so long.

Zhou Andong returned to the ward, and Dabao came over: "Brother, are you being discharged?"

This guy's expression was a bit dejected, and his pitiful look made Zhou Andong not know what to say.

"The illness is cured, so of course we have to be discharged."

Dabao wanted to say something but stopped, and in the end, he didn't say anything: "I'll go see Mom and Dad."

"Come back!" Zhou Andong stuffed the refunded money into Dabao's hand: "You take this money."

Dabao put his hands behind his back and didn't take the money: "I already owe you enough, and I still have money on me. I don't want it."

Zhou Andong stuffed the money into his pocket: "You've been to Anqiu Hutong, right?"

Dabao nodded: "I've been there."

Zhou Andong asked again: "Can you find it now?"

Dabao hummed: "Of course I can, it's not far from here."

"If you can find it, why are you acting like this?" Zhou Andong hit him on the head: "Go there when you have nothing to do. That is your home, do you understand?"

Dabao looked at Zhou Andong, tears swirling in his eyes: "My, my mom's illness has also improved a lot, and she will be discharged in a while. We might never see each other again."

Zhou Andong wanted to laugh, but looking at Dabao's genuine display of emotion, he couldn't laugh. He patted him heavily on the shoulder.

"How could we not see each other? When your mom's illness is cured, I'll rent a house for you, and you can just stay in Beijing. Then follow me, and I'll pay you a salary later."

Dabao's fighting ability was quite impressive. Even if this kid wanted to go back to his hometown, he had to find a way to keep him by his side.

"Really?" The tears in Dabao's eyes disappeared instantly; it seemed like it was just an illusion just now.

"Really!" Zhou Andong nodded.

"That's great." Dabao jumped up: "I'll go tell my mom right now."

"Why do I feel like this kid isn't as stupid as he looks on the surface?"

Watching Dabao disappear at the door, Yuan Zhe said.
