Chapter 1142: Chapter 659 The Difficult Problem Given by Old Liu
Qin Yuan, upon hearing these words, no longer felt any surprise. He had been quite surprised at first, but now he was completely calm.
He pondered for a moment, then slowly said, "Actually, I know why youāre rejecting this here and now. You either feel that you donāt have the courage to face all of this, or you think that this wonāt be successful."
"But you havenāt even started taking action. How can you know it wonāt be successful? I think you should let your heart be moved and try, as long as you make an attempt."
"Then there wonāt be an issue. If you donāt take any action, youāll never know whether youāre capable of accomplishing this thing."
He still wanted to encourage Liu Yue.
Without encouragement, how could Liu Yue ever muster the courage?
Encouragement was needed.
Now it all depended on what Liu Yue would do.
The next moment, Jiang Qi nodded and spoke slowly, "In fact, what he said is not wrong. If you put your best effort into this matter, you will succeed. Itās not about giving up because youāre afraid. Once youāre afraid, what can you ever hope to accomplish?"
"You havenāt even taken the first step, let alone anything else. So what you need now is to take that first step well; otherwise, there really is no success to speak of."
"Our work is just like anything else; only through trying can we study better things. Without trying, there is no chance of reaching anything better."
He used their work as an analogy.
After all, thatās how scientific research is.
If youāre too timid to try, how can you ever expect to succeed?
Everything must be attempted.
You canāt shrink back without even trying.
If every technologist acted that way, new technologies would never emerge.
Thatās why he made the comparison.
Whether Liu Yue could take it to heart was unknown.
If she did, that would be best.
But if not, they would find another way.
In any case, they wouldnāt give up.
Moreover, old Mr. Liu was still watching over there.
Though he was eating, his mind was still on this side.
Even occasionally glancing over.
Not that he had been observing old Mr. Liu all the time, but he was aware of him in his peripheral vision.
At this point, Wu Zeyuan turned his gaze on Liu Yue, raising his eyebrows, his tone becoming extremely serious, "My own experience is actually very similar to yours. I was always running away at first, afraid to face the difficulties I encountered."
"But I chose to come clean just now, so Qin Yuan and Jiang Qi decided to persuade me, and they also made me willing to confront my challenges."
"Although I havenāt figured out how to deal with these difficulties yet, Iāve overcome the fear, and Iām ready to take the first step, which is a success in itself."
Since heād taken the first step, he now hoped that Liu Yue would do the same.
Once you take that first step, thatās success.
So now it was about what mindset Liu Yue had.
Could it be that she had not taken his words to heart? He truly hoped not.
He still hoped Liu Yue would listen to him.
At this moment, Liu Yueās brows furrowed slightly, but she remained noncommittal.
"I donāt know what you are talking about, you know. Arenāt you here to keep me company for a drink? If not, then please leave. All I need is a drinking buddy."
"If you canāt be my drinking buddies, then thereās no point in staying here any longer, itās just a waste of time."
"And I have no idea what youāve been chattering about, I just know I need a drinking friend, so if you really want to carry on drinking with me, stay. If not, leave."
Now it was up to them.
She truly didnāt wish to talk about this matter.
Besides, she came here to escape.
In fact, they did get one thing right.
She was here to rebel.
Time ticked by, and not one of the three men said a word.
They just set their eyes on Liu Yue.
After an unknown period, Qin Yuan said, "Although we think a young lady drinking alone here is very unsafe, fearing that you might encounter hooligans, but with the three of us here, weāre not afraid that such things will happen."
šš£ššš°ššš§š¼ššš.š°šØš¦
"Even if those kind of people show up, we will stand up to protect you. Considering you our friend, we will certainly ensure your safety. Otherwise, what kind of friends would we be?"
"If you want to drink, we can keep you company. Even though we havenāt eaten and our stomachs are empty, as your friends, we should be righteous and not refuse a friendās reasonable request."
He spoke of reasonable requests, not just any request.
They would listen only if itās reasonable; if not, thereās no discussion.
But upon hearing this, their faces showed great surprise.
Qin Yuan was onto something.
Wasnāt this a bid for sympathy?
It was uncertain whether Liu Yue would fall for it.
Hopefully, she would.
If she did, then they would achieve their goal.
Just then, Liu Yueās brows furrowed again, and she immediately said, "Iām not asking you to be my friends, just my drinking buddies. If you really canāt drink, then thereās no need to stick around and gain my sympathy. Your not eatingāwhat does that have to do with me?"
