Chapter 1701 Companions(2/2)
Lin Shaoqing was very adaptable to Lao Cheng's approach of making gongs and drums in person.
The only thing that made Lin Shaoqing feel uncomfortable was the alienation and wariness among the guests here, which seemed to remain the same no matter how hard he tried...
Looking at Robert, who was rarely very talkative, Lin Shaoqing hesitated and said: "I was not like this before, I want to throw away the things that made me who I am now...
The people here will one day adapt to the current Lin Shaoqing!"
Robert listened, he frowned and said: "You can't throw it away!
Just like we don't put our hands into the fire, it's instinct...
Unless you leave Hell's Kitchen and go somewhere else, put on another mask for yourself after you get used to it.
You can't find friends here if you remain in your current state!
But there are other ways..."
After hearing this, Lin Shaoqing couldn't help but asked curiously: "What can we do?
I know you agents have no friends at all, how did you get rid of the past and completely integrate here?"
Robert smiled and gestured to Lin Shaoqing to refill his teapot with boiling water, and then said with a smile: "Agents also have friends, because we can always find the right person to open our hearts to.
Even an old executioner like "Church" has a few dead colleagues, and of course I do too.
Friends always tolerate our bad habits and even think of them as minor problems that don't matter."
Lin Shaoqing is a smart man, he can understand what Robert said...
Those who have the same experience can more easily understand each other's heart and can naturally tolerate each other's shortcomings.
Because maybe my friend also has other problems...
But what he doesn't understand is, how does this help with the dilemma he faces?
After hesitating for a moment, Lin Shaoqing said: "How did you become friends with the people here?
I can see that they respect you, but not out of fear of you!"
Robert smiled and shook his head and said: "Because I am just me now!
And I have the same position as most people here..."
Robert was silent for a moment and said in a recalling tone: "At the beginning, I was just tired of my career and wanted to find a place to 'atone'..."
So I opened a supermarket to help some young people who want to change their living conditions.
But then I discovered the significance of the school to Hell's Kitchen, so I sided with Alvin and vowed to guard that magical school.
That’s the ‘ladder of destiny’…
Slowly, people here began to discover the changes in Hell's Kitchen, and they located the source of all changes in Alvin and the school!
Then some people began to think that the school was the "center" of Hell's Kitchen, and people began to spontaneously protect that place.
Some people began to focus on Alvin and tried their best to keep him here.
No one can be friends with everyone, not even Alvin...
But we can find like-minded friends among these people who share the same stance.
When you have the same goals as others, you will find that your own problems are easily ignored.
Lin, you can't even be called a 'bad guy' here!
Live with your true self…
Find yourself a goal that you must defend here!
A girl, a car, a dog, a house, whatever...
If you want to protect these, you must defend Hell's Kitchen!
In this way you will find that you can find people who have the same goals as yours...
Then those people may still not like you, but they will relax their guard against you and accept your fucked-up personality.
That’s how to really get involved here…
A selfish bastard like you, pretending to be a gentleman here, won't win anyone's approval at all.
Peace Hotel is a place that shows sincerity...
This is a place where many people like you can find their souls!
If you break this tacit understanding, you will be hostile to everyone!"
