It made him feel a little more empathetic too.
Thinking, Governor Li looked at Rong Shu, his expression became much kinder, making him look, at the moment, not like a party B who came to talk business, but an amiable elder.
“Miss Rong, don’t feel sad, this is a very realistic problem, a person, without ability, without human relations, without a backer, can’t go far, I hope you can understand.” Governor Li said soothingly.
Rongshu knew that Governor Li was saying these words for her own good, but in her heart she still had some trouble accepting them.
It was as if all the hard work she had been doing was a joke.
It was clear that you had worked hard and struggled, but what others saw was not your efforts, but the power behind you.
Your so-called efforts seem so pale and worthless in front of this power.
“Shushu.” Lu Qi looked at Rong Shu’s tightly bitten lower lip, as well as her slightly pale face, and became even more worried in his heart.
At the same time, there was also some self-blame in his heart.
It was all his fault that he was not as capable as Fu Jingting and could not open up new territories like Fu Jingting, but could only be a ruler who kept his word, so he had not been able to bring the Lu family to a new level so far.
Otherwise, if she had any difficulties, he could easily help her out, instead of ending up in an uncomfortable situation like he is now.
“I’m fine, don’t worry.” Rongshu read the meaning in Lu Qi’s eyes and squeezed out a smile at him, indicating that she was fine.
But how could Lu Qi not see that she was forcing a smile on her face, forcing herself to say she was fine, when in her heart she could not tell how upset she was.
But he, again, was not the one to say anything to soothe her.
Inhaling a breath, Rongshu barely calmed herself down, looked at Governor Li across the table again and smiled, “Governor Li, thank you for your enlightenment, indeed, I am still very sad in my heart when I hear you say that, I always thought that you agreed to come and meet with me because of my own reasons and not because of other people, but it turns out that you are now telling me that it is not because of my reason for coming to see me, but because of my boyfriend and that I’m not qualified to meet with you, and to be honest, it’s really quite a big gap in my heart.”
“I’m sorry.” Governor Li still apologised.
Rongshu waved her hand, “No, no, no, you don’t need to apologize to me, you just spoke the reality, and I should also thank you, thank you for your words that woke me up, let me understand that I am nowhere near strong enough, nowhere near qualified enough, let everyone look up to me, here I want to thank you, I toast you.”
With those words, she stood up with her own red wine.
At first, when she heard that the bank had agreed to meet with her, she was really happy, and really felt that the bank was willing to meet for talks because of her as a person.
For this reason, she had indeed been complacent in her heart, thinking that she was now really powerful and could basically succeed in whatever she wanted to do, without ever thinking about whether it was really her own power behind it, or whether others were looking at the reason that she had Fu Jingting behind her?
So now Governor Li’s words reminded her that she is actually not that great, the reason why she can basically succeed in whatever she does is actually a lot of it is because she has someone behind her, not because of herself.
Even many of the reasons why people gave her a good attitude were because of the people behind her, not because they gave her face.
After all, in the eyes of these people, without Fu Jingting behind her, she was just a small cricket, far from being enough to make them smile and say they would meet.
It was Governor Li’s words that woke her up and allowed her to see the nature of things now.
Otherwise, I’m afraid she would continue to be blinded by one leaf, thinking that everything that goes well is really because of herself, and in the end become more and more blindly confident, or even just drift away, and that would be truly terrifying.
After all, a conceited person has no way of accepting things that are different from what she thinks.
If she really becomes conceited in the future because of her blind confidence, once she learns that her success is not because of herself but because of Fu Jingting, at that time, her mind and body will collapse, thus doing something extreme.
It no longer needs to be said how terrifying it is to meet an egotistical person by chance.
Fortunately, it was really fortunate that at this time, Governor Li appeared and nudged her awake, making her understand that she was weak and that her so-called success was all an illusion.
In this way, she can better face up to herself and put an end to becoming an egotistical person in the future.
So how could she not be grateful to such a Governor Li?
Governor Li could see that Rong Shu’s thanks were sincere and not just words on her lips, his heart felt better about her and his smile became more kind and amiable, lifting his own wine gla*s and accepting her toast, “Miss Rong is very kind, in fact you don’t need to thank me, I am saying this for my own performance.”
“I know.” Rong Shu took a sip of her wine and smiled back, “You are doing it for performance, but all the same, you have also woken me up, so my thanks are not conflicting.”
Governor Li laughed loudly twice, “In that case, then I’ll accept Miss Rong’s thanks unceremoniously.”
“Of course.” Rong Shu nodded with an imploring smile.
At the side, Lu Qi saw that her smile was natural and she was not at all as downcast as she had been earlier, so he was somewhat relieved.
After thanking Lu Qi, Governor Li then looked at Rong Shu and said, “Miss Rong, you still haven’t answered me, why do you want to borrow money from our bank and not from Mr. Fu?”
After Lu Qi finished pouring the wine and sat back in his chair, he also followed and looked at Rong Shu, wondering how she would answer.
Would she answer truthfully, or would she find another reason?
Rong Shu turned the wine gla*s in her hand and did not reply immediately.
Instead, she was silent for a while before she spoke, “Actually, this reason, it’s quite simple, I just don’t want to rely on him.”
“Oh?” Governor Li raised his eyebrows, “Don’t want to rely on Mr. Fu?”
“Mm.”
“Why is that?” Governor Li sat up straighter, “Does it mean that you and Mr. Fu, are not planning to go to the final step?”
“Of course not.” Rongshu shook her head, “I made a deal with him, as long as there is no change in our relationship, the re-marriage will definitely be resumed, just not now for the time being.”
“Since it will come down to the final step, then what does Miss Rong mean by this statement of not relying on Mr. Fu?” Governor Li shook his gla*s, “Mr. Fu is your lover and future husband, isn’t it a normal thing for you to rely on him?”
Rongshu fondled her gla*s and looked at the bright red liquid in the quilt, the corners of her mouth contained a faint curve, “Governor Li also knows that I manage a business by myself, if I was all alone, or if I was a doddering flower, then I would have no problem relying on him, and I would have no psychological burden, but I don’t want to be that doddering flower, I want to hold Tian Sheng up, and I want Tian Sheng to be in my hands. I don’t want to hear that every time the outside world mentions Tiansheng, the first thing that comes to mind is not my ability, but that I am Fu Jingting’s woman, and that I rely on Fu Jingting to hold Tiansheng up, and for me, I can’t accept that.”
“So that’s how it is.” Governor Li nodded, “I understand your difficulties Miss Rong, indeed, no matter which industry, for women, the restraints and concepts, will always be more than men, so women give far more than men in many places.”
