Chapter 1721: Hard Work Does Not Mean Success
Cao Mengyuan didn't understand Shen Dapeng's thoughts. In her opinion, Shen Dapeng was very capable.
When he was in Qingshu County, Shen Dapeng opened several companies and did very well in business.
Not long after, at Shen Dapeng's suggestion, the company moved south to Beijing, and the operation was booming. Although he looked like a student on the surface, he had already become a big boss with a net worth of hundreds of millions.
Last time Shen Dapeng came to the school to find me and told me that he was going to the south to develop. At that time, I had strong confidence in him, and Shen Dapeng did not disappoint me. He not only opened a large-scale Wanhai Plaza in Shenzhen, but also started real estate and financial companies, which can be said to be a hundred flowers blooming.
However, what puzzled me was that Shen Dapeng didn't seem to be impressed by my praise. On the contrary, he seemed dissatisfied.
"Although the development of each company is not bad, it is still a long way from my goal."
Sure enough, Shen Dapeng smiled gently and said to Cao Mengyuan after pressing Cao Mengyuan's hand.
"There's still some distance?" Cao Mengyuan was stunned. "Tell me, how big is your appetite?"
"Even if your appetite is not big, you still need to exercise a lot!"
Shen Dapeng's eyes flashed with a trace of determination. He looked at a large chicken leg on the plate in front of him, picked it up with chopsticks without hesitation, and put it into his mouth to chew the next second.
Cao Mengyuan stared at Shen Dapeng's movements, and then at the way he chewed hard, and couldn't help showing a trace of confusion. She didn't know what Shen Dapeng meant by this.
What do you mean by exercising a lot even if your appetite is not big?
"See, just like me, even if I don't want to eat, I have to force myself to eat!"
After a chicken leg went into his stomach, Shen Dapeng patted his stomach with satisfaction and said with a smile.
"According to what you said, aren't you trying to make people die of overeating?" Cao Mengyuan was even more confused.
Shen Dapeng shook his head slightly, then sighed and looked at Cao Mengyuan, "I'm just giving an example, Mengyuan, actually, the reason I came back this time is only secondary to handling graduation matters. More importantly, I want to talk to you about some things."
Cao Mengyuan raised her eyebrows, "Talk about some things?"
"Yes, to be exact, it's about the things between you and me." Shen Dapeng nodded, looking at Cao Mengyuan intently, "Do you still remember the four-year agreement?"
Cao Mengyuan was startled, then her eyes softened, "How could I not remember, when I graduated from high school, in Qingshu County, the two of us sat on a hydrogen balloon, you held my hand , said it to me in person. "
"In the past four years, this agreement between the two of us has been imprinted in my heart, and I have indeed seen your efforts!"
Shen Dapeng nodded, and then smiled bitterly, "Efforts do not mean success! This is just like the example of appetite I gave you just now. Although I have worked hard enough in the past four years, I am still a long way from my expected goal. The Huang family still exists and has not been defeated by me!"
Cao Mengyuan has been listening to Shen Dapeng carefully. When the word Huang family came out of Shen Dapeng's mouth, Cao Mengyuan was startled and a bright light flashed in her eyes.
Now, she finally understood what Shen Dapeng meant by trying to expand his appetite even if it was not big.
The four-year agreement is to defeat the Huang family and make Huang Bin have no qualifications to talk about marriage with him.
And Shen Dapeng wants to defeat the Huang family and Huang Bin within four years to realize his wish to be with him.
Now, although the Huang Group has shrunk in some businesses, as the saying goes, a lean camel is bigger than a horse. After all, the Huang Group has been operating for many years and has a wide network of business contacts. It is not easy to overthrow it in a few years.
Although Cao Mengyuan understands that it is difficult to overthrow the Huang family, she does not blame Shen Dapeng psychologically. However, when she heard Shen Dapeng's words, her face suddenly dimmed and returned to the worried look when she first came in.
"So, the promise I made to you was not fulfilled, so I have been feeling guilty for this period of time. I'm sorry!"
Shen Dapeng looked at Cao Mengyuan's dim expression again, and thought that Cao Mengyuan was blaming him in her heart, so he said his true feelings with guilt.
And this sentence is what he has always wanted to say. No matter what, the four-year agreement has not been fulfilled. The time has come, and he must give Cao Mengyuan an explanation, right?
After saying it, no matter what, he will feel more comfortable. Otherwise, if he doesn't say it, how will Cao Mengyuan see him?
Shen Dapeng's apology was met with silence, a long silence!
Cao Mengyuan didn't seem to hear Shen Dapeng's apology. She kept her head down and didn't say a word, as if she was still thinking about something.
"Mengyuan, don't you accept my apology?"
Seeing Cao Mengyuan didn't speak for a long time, Shen Dapeng was stunned and asked softly.
"What if I accept it? Isn't this agreement meaningless now?"
The next second, Cao Mengyuan suddenly raised her head, and her clear eyes flashed with light, staring at Shen Dapeng.
Shen Dapeng was shocked. He saw that the light in Cao Mengyuan's eyes was the light of tears hidden in her eyes!
It's not that she didn't hear his apology. On the contrary, she has accepted this result. What's the use of apologizing for an unfulfilled agreement?
"You are right. It doesn't make any sense now, Mengyuan. I'm sorry. I know you always have me in your heart, but my promise has not been fulfilled. I can't control our future life."
Shen Dapeng sighed. Although he is doing very well now, he still can't shake the huge Huang Group. Cao Mengyuan has graduated. The Huang family may propose to the Cao family at any time. What can Cao Mengyuan, a weak woman, do?
Even the Cao family, which is a huge group in Beijing, can't compete with the Huang family, let alone an individual.
At that time, what can I change as a person?
Listening to the complaints in Cao Mengyuan's words, Shen Dapeng's heart also rose with deep melancholy, and all kinds of tastes can't be expressed in words.
"You can even say such a thing?"
Just when Shen Dapeng felt very uncomfortable, Cao Mengyuan's voice rose again, her eyes widened, and a trace of disdain appeared on her face.
"You have never been like this. In my heart, you have always been a person who has a plan in mind and nothing can stop you. But how can I trust you when you are like this now?"
Shen Dapeng was stunned by Cao Mengyuan's aggressive tone. He didn't know why Cao Mengyuan suddenly said such a thing.
