[Rebirth to the Future] Diplomacy

Chapter 125

When Rong Junlin was born, there were already two children in his family. Father Rong was of mediocre aptitude, so he went all out to pursue Mother Rong who was both beautiful and intelligent.

Rong's mother was also a beauty who was admired by the stars back then, but somehow she was moved by Rong's father, and the two were extremely affectionate.

When Rong Junlin was a child, he often asked his mother why he married his father. Rong's mother was so annoyed by him, she could only explain: "It's hard to find a family like the members of the Rong family who are so simple and just right in line with our family. Yes—it's pleasing to the eye."

The word pleasing to the eye had a great influence on Rong Junlin.

Mother Rong's tone at the time was a little teasing, but with the sensitivity of a child, it was not difficult to find that she was satisfied with the status quo.

Rong Junlin made friends, accepted students, and even found a lifelong partner, all based on the condition of "pleasing to the eye".

When Rong Junlin was in his teens, there was an old saying "reading thousands of books is not as good as traveling thousands of miles" was very popular in the empire, and thousands of young people and teenagers took a white card and embarked on the journey.

Although the white card is the card with the least rights in the empire, it also has many benefits: free rides, free learning, free reading, etc.

All of a sudden, a "study craze" broke out in the empire, and the academic atmosphere was stronger than ever.And compared to serious seminars, these young people who come from all directions and go to all directions are full of vitality and vitality. They are like the rising sun that is about to burst out, and they are destined to shine on the earth in the near future.

During that period, a large number of "study tour" factions emerged who later became famous. They spread across every industry in the empire, each with their own success trajectory. The only thing in common is that they all went through the "study tour" stage.

Rong Junlin coincided with the beginning of the "study tour craze", and he had two older brothers who were responsible, so he expressed his thoughts to his parents.

Both Rong's father and Rong's mother agreed, because they believed that their son had enough determination to resist the temptation of the outside world, and also had enough ability to accept more outside knowledge.

Rong Junlin was so excited that night that he couldn't sleep. The eldest brother Rong En and the second brother Rong Li came to his room to sleep together. Rong En often worried about the naughty younger brother, so he spent most of the night talking in Rong Junlin's ear to be careful on the road What, don't trust others too much, if you have something to tell your family.

Rong Junlin's ears became callused when he heard it, and he went to sleep beside the taciturn Rong Li.

Rong Li didn't say much, just patted his brother on the back to let him go to bed early.It wasn't until the next day when we saw off Rong Li that he said: "If you decide to go out to learn something, you should study hard. Don't embarrass the Rong family. Don't worry about the family, we have us at home. As long as you are promising, even if you want to study abroad, If you want to learn all over the world, we all support you. It was the first time Rong Junlin heard his second brother say such a long word to him, and after feeling the heart in it, his eyes turned red, and he finally felt the sadness of leaving home.

He hugged his second brother who had always been emotionally restrained tightly, and didn't let go for a long time.

It wasn't until he realized that his elder brother was still looking at him that Rong Junlin let go of his hand, turned around and gave his elder brother the same hug, and said, "Brother, I will definitely write down the good historical materials I found on the road and send them to you."

Rong En hugged his youngest brother tightly, Rong Li has grown up like a child since he was a child, and only this brother can give him the feeling of being a big brother.

He has always loved this younger brother the most, and now that Rong Junlin is going on a long journey, he is the most reluctant.

Rong En originally wanted to read to Rong Junlin what he had nagged countless times, but seeing Rong Junlin's red eyes gave up the idea.He patted Rong Junlin's cheek lightly, and said, "I'm not a child anymore, I have to take care of myself."

Rong Junlin nodded.

He didn't know that this meeting would be the last time he saw his second brother. He only remembered that the sunset glow was golden and golden, and the whole sky seemed to be plated with gold.

On the train to the first destination, Rong Junlin met his lifelong confidant: Qu Zhengming.

In fact, he didn't have a good impression of Qu Zhengming at the beginning. If he really wanted to find the reason, it was probably "not pleasing to the eye".

Seeing that the other party was carrying the same simple luggage as himself, Rong Junlin raised his eyebrows in surprise. This guy looked serious, and he didn't expect to do such a thing as a "study tour".And looking at the information he was flipping through, it seemed that the first destination was also the same as his own.

After hesitating for a moment to strike up a conversation or not to strike up a conversation, Rong Junlin finally chatted with Qu Zhengming, who was "not pleasing to the eye".

Qu Zhengming was not as unkind as he seemed on the surface, although at first he simply answered Rong Junlin's question, and then slowly opened up the conversation under Rong Junlin's guidance.

After chatting, Rong Junlin realized that this was a task assigned to him by Qu Zhengming's mentor. While traveling abroad, he analyzed the current situation, pros and cons of the study tour, and proposed corresponding normative plans.

Rong Junlin asked him if he was nervous, and Qu Zhengming said that this was not the first time he traveled far away. As early as when he was ten years old, he was thrown to a state far away from home to live independently, and later he returned to the capital by himself. It is still "self-sufficient".

Seeing that Qu Zhengming was about the same size and age as himself, Rong Junlin was secretly stunned: The Qu family's education is really extraordinary.

We chatted happily along the way, and Rong Junlin found that Qu Zhengming was much more talkative than he imagined, and Qu Zhengming gave him a lot of guidance on what he should pay attention to when going out, so his impression of Qu Zhengming was never pleasing to the eye. It has become "look pleasing to the eye".

The two became friends just like that.

Rong Junlin's study abroad career had a great influence on him in the future. He met several of his mentors, many of his friends, and many of his staunch supporters at this time.

Rong Junlin is like a dragon entering the sea, he is happier than ever.It was at this time that some of the ideas he insisted on slowly took shape. The openness and tolerance of the empire during this period deeply moved his heart. He wanted to expand this good atmosphere to every young level and every Industry, every state, he tried to use his own method to knock on doors that have been closed for a long time.

This idea has been rooted in his heart since then, and he also talked about it time and time again with his friends, peers, and older people, and thus gathered a group of supporters who followed him at the earliest By.

When Rong Junlin was working hard for his ideal, he met Qin Sangrou, his future partner who was "pleasing to the eye" at first sight.This woman understands his thoughts better than anyone else. She is smart and cunning, but also has a natural gentleness and consideration. Rong Junlin is at the stage of love, so he fell in love with her naturally.

Successful in studies and happy in love, Rong Junlin at this moment is more energetic than ever.

But at this time, a sad news came from the capital that made him have to end his study tour: his second brother Rong Li died of illness.

Rong Junlin rushed back non-stop, and the burden of the entire Rong family immediately fell on his shoulders.

Eldest brother Rong En held his hand and said, "Third brother, I'm really not that kind of material, so I asked my father to call you back..."

Rong Junlin had no room to refuse, and immediately began to receive training to become the heir of the Rong family.During this period, he brought Qin Sangrou home and confessed his love to his parents.

Father Rong and Mother Rong quickly accepted Qin Sangrou.

It was a long time before Rong Junlin found out that Qu Zhengming had also returned to the Qu family, and that he had already firmly established himself as the heir, taking over the family affairs one after another.

After hearing the news, Rong Junlin immediately went to Qu's house to visit Qu Zhengming.

Qu Zhengming was taken aback by Rong Junlin's sudden visit, but he also knew Rong Junlin's temper from his previous contacts, so he immediately entered the stage of reminiscing with Rong Junlin, and generously told Rong Junlin most of his experiences .

Rong Junlin likes the cold-faced and warm-hearted people like Qu Zhengming the most, which reminds him of his second brother who he didn't have time to see for the last time.

He stayed with Qu Zhengming for the whole afternoon, until the sun was sinking and he realized that it was getting late, so he quickly stood up and said goodbye - at this time Rong Junlin was still a frizzy young man.

Rong Junlin didn't know that there was such a conversation after he left——

An elder of Qu's family said to Qu Zhengming, "It's not good for the future if you help him like this."

Qu Zhengming said: "Empire should not be a personal stage."

The elder Qu’s family said: “Your views are too far apart, sooner or later you will part ways.

Qu Zhengming said: "Although the concepts are different, our hearts are the same. We are just trying different directions and taking different paths. Maybe one day we can really meet at the end. For the empire, diversification is the best development trend. He is very talented. At this time, helping him to avoid detours is good for him and even better for the empire. Just look at it, it won’t take five years , and his name will spread throughout the empire."

The elders of Qu's family didn't speak any more.

Qu Zhengming's prediction was correct. Four years later, Rong Junlin's name resounded throughout the empire.

Of course, his prediction was a little bit off, because he didn't expect that he would also become famous, and he and Rong Junlin were called "Double Stars of the Empire".

Rong Junlin has never concealed their friendship with each other. On many occasions, he has never avoided the fact that they are close friends. Therefore, whenever Rong Junlin's name appears, the word Qu Zhengming will be mentioned more or less.

Qu Zhengming didn't feel much about this situation. He was in the military, and this system didn't place much importance on popular support.It's just that Rong Junlin's sincerity still moved Qu Zhengming. At this moment, he finally regarded Rong Junlin as a true friend, not a predicted opponent—or even an enemy.

This is Rong Junlin's strength. He is good at turning people into his friends. His friends are all over the world, and his supporters are getting more and more.

Confluence into a river.

This situation became more rapid after Rong Junlin accepted a student named Qin Shizhang.

Rong Junlin praised this student to Qu Zhengming more than once, and arranged for Qin Shizhang and Qu Zhengming to meet several times.

Although Qu Zhengming was surprised by Qin Shizhang's lively thinking and rigorous style, he always felt something was wrong.After he went back, he checked Qin Shizhang's background, and it was no different from what Rong Junlin introduced to him. He was born as an orphan, and there was nothing wrong with it.

But Qu Zhengming believed in his intuition.

He wanted to remind Rong Junlin, but he gave up after thinking about it, because his next move was about to confront Rong Junlin tit for tat.Everyone can see how much Rong Junlin appreciates Qin Shizhang. If he argues over a small student at this juncture, the rift between them will probably grow bigger and bigger.

Qu Zhengming quickly put the thought of warning Rong Junlin behind him.

Many years later, when the upheaval broke out in the Far East, Qin Shizhang's identity was revealed, and domestic turmoil began, Qu Zhengming recalled his hesitation at the beginning, full of regret.

Therefore, when Qu Zhengming walked into the highest meeting side by side for the last time, Qu Zhengming's inner feelings were very complicated.

At this time, his daughter was already several years old, and Rong Junlin's wife was also pregnant. They both had families and wives, but their friendship with each other had not changed.

They are still lifelong confidants.

But in order to break out of the predicament, he must personally send his confidant to prison.

No matter how many emotions Qu Zhengming had in his heart, what he showed was only a momentary pause, and soon he and Rong Junlin walked side by side.

It was as if they had walked into this place together countless times before.
