The King of Machinery, the All-Time Master

Chapter 231 Father and Son

"What are you doing standing still?"

Seeing the always obedient son standing there motionless, Luo Haitian also showed an angry expression.

He knew that as long as he showed an angry expression, Xiao Luo would definitely do it.

It's been that way since childhood.

Except that one time.

"I..." Luo Xingzhi hesitated.

"What am I?" Luo Haitian frowned. "Do you know what you're doing now?"

"I'm working hard to become a professional e-sports player." Luo Xingzhi finally replied seriously.

"E-sports? Oh, you're right." Luo Haitian nodded. "I have indeed changed my view of e-sports now. The country recognizes this as an official sport, and I will also admit that this is a qualified competitive game. There are daily training and mental confrontation. I have abandoned it. It’s a legitimate industry and I don’t have the same prejudices I used to have.”

"Then you should support me." Luo Xingzhi said.

"Support ass." Luo Haitian said. "You know what those guys say after you lose? Do you know what they think of you players?"

"Of course I know." Luo Xingzhi said. "They look at us as clowns on the stage, bets on the field, and jokes after dinner. I know it all."

"Since you know everything, do you still want to stick to your career?" Luo Haitian asked.

"Yes. That's right." Luo Xingzhi nodded firmly.

Luo Haitian suddenly laughed.

Then he asked: "In this kind of environment, if you win a game, you will be praised to the sky, if you lose the game, you will be thrown into hell. Do you like it? Is it something you want to continue? Is it something you can bear?" The pressure of public opinion and the pressure of reality, and then continue on this road where we don’t know where the end point is?”

Luo Xingzhi nodded firmly without any hesitation.

"I want to continue."

His expression was serious, just like when he decided to leave home.

"why?"

Luo Xingzhi was silent for several seconds, seeming to be thinking about why, but he clearly had the answer in his heart.

"I can't even give a reason, what do you want me to believe in you?"

"It's the same as before. Just don't trust me." Luo Xingzhi looked at him. "You always want me to be number one, number one in piano, number one in saxophone, number one in high math, number one in Go, but you know, I don't want to be the number one in those things."

"You don't even have self-motivation, and you still say you want to continue?" Luo Haitian said.

"It's not that I can't be the first, I don't want to be those firsts. Because I don't like it."

"I deliberately played the wrong keys, I deliberately played the wrong notes, I deliberately did the wrong questions, and I deliberately made the wrong moves. I just don't want to be the first, because I know that even if I become the first, I will not get your praise. You will always say that Jiahui won the provincial championship, Ziyang won the first place in the city, Xiaoqiu won the [-]th dan of Go, and I can't compare with them, and I will never be able to. You want to use these encouragement Me, you want to put pressure on me to do better."

"But if there's no interest, if you're doing something you don't like, what's the use of being first? Just keep going where you don't like. Wasting time where I don't like. I always thought you'd know I do not like."

"You are doing what you like now, so have you become the number one?" Luo Haitian asked.

"That's why I have to continue." Luo Xingzhi replied firmly. "Because I lost, I have to win it back. Because I didn't win the championship this time, I must get it next time. This is what I want, this is the path I want."

"If you know you will fail, do you want to continue?" Luo Haitian asked again.

"Of course! When you first developed Tianhe, were you [-]% sure?" Luo Xingzhi asked.

Luo Haitian suddenly stopped talking.

The development of Tianhe Intelligence is the largest investment plan of Liyue Group, and it is also the only plan that Luo Haitian failed.

A lot of money was invested, a lot of money was spent, and in the end, it was nothing.

That was the pain of Luo Haitian's life.

"Tianhe's success rate at the beginning was [-]%, which was enough for me to take risks." Luo Haitian said. "And the path you are pursuing, the chance of success is one in ten thousand."

"One ten-thousandth is enough." Luo Xingzhi said. "Even if it is a [-]% failure, I will create a miracle for you to see."

"Hehe." Looking at his son, Luo Haitian burst into a smile for no reason. "Hahahaha, you are just too much like me. It's exactly the same as when I was young."

"Isn't it natural that a son is like a father?" Luo Xingzhi also said.

"Okay." Luo Haitian nodded. "Then I will give you another chance. Let you make a breakthrough in the industry you like. If you succeed, you can do whatever you want. If you fail, just follow me home, okay?"

"Okay." Luo Xingzhi nodded.

"How long do you need?" Luo Haitian asked. "I can't wait for you for too long."

"One year." Luo Xingzhi said. "One year is enough. Next year, I will definitely win the championship and go back with the championship ring."

"Without a trophy?" Luo Haitian frowned.

"Uh" Luo Xingzhi scratched his head. "The trophy will belong to the club when the time comes, so you won't be allowed to bring it."

"It's good to be able to go home." Zhao Ya held her son's arm with a smile on her face.

The father and son are just too rigid, which is why the relationship is so bad.

"However, before that, you still have to take me to find someone from your club." Luo Haitian said.

"Ah? Why?" Luo Xing didn't understand.

"At least check your contract to see if there are any trap clauses." Luo Haitian said. "We can't let you be sold and count the money for others."

"You are so stubborn." Zhao Ya smiled, very happy that the father and son could have such an equal conversation on such an occasion.

"It's my fault, Xiao Luo." Luo Haitian smiled. "I have always regarded you as a child, but during the more than a year since you left home, I have been thinking, thinking about my own mistakes, and then I slowly began to understand that you have grown up .You should also have what you want to do, I am too restrictive."

"I've been waiting for you too. One day I insisted on my own opinions like this. I had a dream before. When you stood firmly in front of me and said what you wanted to do, it proved that you had grown up. Now, maybe that's the time."

"Xiao Luo, be yourself and move towards the future you want. No matter what the consequences are, no matter what the ending is, you must bear it yourself. You must know this better than anyone else. .”

Luo Haitian calmly told what was in his heart.

The Luo family's education has always been very open-minded.

The mistakes I made, I have to bear, the path I choose, I will come to the end by myself.

The men of the Luo family will not escape, but also know how to let go.

When the child grows up, he is willing to venture into the outside world.

Then go ahead and either get a bloody head or win brilliantly.

For Luo Xingzhi, the matter that had always worried him the most was finally solved.

It's even simpler than expected.

A year, a year's time.

Win the championship.
