Chapter 450 Using the small self to realize the greater self
Li Yan doesn’t quite understand what “a flower” in the park is.
He thought it was some kind of rare species, placed in some very special place.
It turned out to be just a mediocre grassland with few people.
It’s perfectly fine to say it’s a corner that no one cares about.
The park is not very popular, but this lawn is not a place for people to watch from the streamline design, so it is very simple.
A place where no one wants to stop.
Except Wei Yunzhi who found a small white flower growing very tall.
“Look, there is such a high-spirited little white flower sprouting out of a whole piece of grass. Isn’t it worth recording!”
The girl also looked very high-spirited, carrying her all the way. I was sweating a little while holding the painting materials, and a few strands of hair stuck together on my forehead, which looked really nice.
Wei Yunzhi's voice is actually sweeter now than two years ago.
"The word high-spirited is very appropriate. This little flower is very vital." Li Yan leaned down and observed, "It grows taller than the grass."
Li Yan once thought that he was gradually losing his temper. In order to gain the ability to perceive the world perceptually, we only need a little introduction.
The ability is always there, and he always has an artist side.
This kind of sensibility is naturally not just for becoming a great writer or painter, nor is it for making money by writing and painting.
No matter how much money you make, you can't make money without making mobile phones.
There are many ways for Li Yan to pursue the realization of self-worth.
Literature and art are of course one of them.
But the greatest value in awakening perceptual cognition lies in self-awareness.
Not to mention sticking to the original intention, but to not be confused along the way. To be "firm" is the more difficult it is for people who are more pursuing.
The threshold will be increased, the ideological realm will be improved, and the ability will be improved, but these three are not necessarily synchronized.
Once there is a gap, pain will come.
This kind of thing can only be thought by oneself, and Li Yan does not dare to tell others.
While making billions, I said I was a little tired.
“It would be too late for me to be happy!”
This is bound to be poked in the spine and said that there is no reason to complain.
People have different pursuits, and the scenery they see after reaching a certain height is also different.
Not to mention someone like Li Yan who was reborn with a system.
A goal that is beyond the reach of others has been achieved, but there are still more unimaginable goals pressing in my heart.
It's not happy enough to say that I'm happy, but it's really impossible not to take this business empire that's about to set sail seriously.
No matter how ambitious Li Yan is, the only thing he knew in his previous life was "How wonderful it would be to have a monthly salary of over 10,000 yuan."
Now that we are sitting on billions all at once, even if we treat it as a number, it is something that makes our heart beat faster just thinking about it.
How can it be possible not to worry about company management?
A strong mind has stabilized his emotions, and he has enough abilities to cope with various challenges well, but his cognition has never improved.
He enjoys everything in the present, but he is also worried that this enjoyment will make him content with the present and stop moving forward.
But if we really want to move forward, it will be difficult to let go of company operations that currently consume a lot of energy.
The way to break the game is actually there: become a numerical monster and crush everything.
However, time is always limited. If you cannot let go of the management of the company, it will be difficult to devote energy to yourself.
The difference between self-perception and objective conditions is the source of pain that plagues many people throughout their lives.
In her previous life, Li Yan was limited by the gap between talent and reality, and now she feels vaguely trapped again.
He really needs to awaken his perceptual understanding of the world.
Always thinking about objective laws is not following your original intention. In the end, you will follow a path called "reasonable" and become a robot sooner or later.
"What are you thinking about?" Wei Yunzhi waved his hand when he saw Li Yan staring at the flowers in a trance.
"No, recently... my mind has become confused again."
"You think about so many things every day, how can you not be confused."
"How do you know I think about a lot of things every day?"
"If I didn't think about a lot of things," Wei Yunzhi said while opening the small easel, "Why would you need me to think of a way to spend money for you?"
Li Yan laughed dumbly.
“Don’t think so much,” the little beauty put down the stool, “Dang, dang, dang, it’s the exclusive sketching spot for great painters.”
“That little chair next to it?”
"Exclusive observation position for the great painter's number one fan!"
Damn, it's really cute.
Who would have thought that today’s “consumption journey” would switch to sketching so smoothly?
With Li Yan’s current painting skills of 62 points, it can be said that sketching is not difficult at all.
It is not difficult to draw such a simple flower.
From the perspective of "finishing the painting", it is indeed very simple.
Li Yan calmly shoveled paint and spread paper, while Wei Yunzhi ran to the corner faucet and filled a small bucket of water.
The shiny golden pen washer is a bit out of place.
In the little beauty’s expectant eyes, Li Yan raised her pen and then got into trouble.
It’s too simple, but I don’t know how to improve it.
A small white flower, a very ordinary little white flower. Even if it is to show its "high-spirited" attitude, it doesn't have much room to show off its skills.
How many clicks will lead to simplicity?
It seems a little sorry for the shining eyes next to him.
Then just think about it, what else can you delve into with such a simple content?
Li Yan’s color accuracy is now very good. Facing the white flowers under the sun, she can basically adjust the color just right.
"If you want to highlight the white flowers, the green grass in the background cannot escape. But if you highlight the white flowers on white paper, it would be much more interesting. In this case, because the paper is very white, the white flowers will appear darker, and the environmental color will be emphasized without the environment. It should be quite interesting..."
Li Yan just muttered to himself and started writing.
“The pen has to be fast, but it doesn’t matter if the shape is accurate. The shape, color, and brushwork all emphasize this high-spirited emotion...”
As he spoke, Li Yan sank in.
In the world of painting.
His senses were focused on the flowers and paintings in front of him, controlling the pen in his hand, and he had no other thoughts in his mind.
Of course I also lost my sense of time.
The painting is finished, four minutes.
Anyway, it was a very simple painting, but many wonderful ideas flashed through the process. Li Yan thought he had spent at least half an hour painting.
Ding!
[Painting +1, level 4 skill, total 63]
Long time no see, really long time no see!
When this jingle sounded, it would be no exaggeration to say that Li Yantian’s spirit lit up with light.
There was a sense of comfort from the surging clear spring and the sound of wind chimes. Along with feeling a rare cool breeze in summer, Li Yan felt his soul tremble.
I haven’t experienced this kind of pleasure of improving my skill value after careful study and research based on my own interests. I haven’t experienced it for a while.
Li Yan lingered in this comfortable mood for a while, and when he looked sideways, Wei Yunzhi was looking at him in a daze.
However, the trance was also interrupted the moment Li Yan met his eyes.
“So your exclusive observation position is to observe me?”
Li Yan is gradually turning to offensive doctrine.
“I started by looking at paintings.”
"Uh..."
"Later I found out that you were very happy and engaged, so I couldn't help but look at you because I felt very happy too."
Li only painted for four minutes. ...
This is not the point. "I'm very happy?" Li Yan asked something that even he couldn't understand.
"Yes, don't you think so?"
Yes, of course I do.
A very simple and thorough happiness that does not require the help of external forces or looking for value in others. It is a happiness that is completely affirmed by oneself.
“This painting is very beautiful. The more I look at it, the more interesting it becomes.” Wei Yunzhi switched his attention back to the painting, “I thought you could paint green grass.”
“ Try something different." Li Yan smiled, "It's a pity that the canvas is relatively small, otherwise maybe I could figure out something deeper."
"It's really amazing, Mr. Li."
A strange yet familiar voice sounded. Li Yan turned around and quickly searched the brain information database.
I remembered a somewhat special name - Qi Delong.
Head of South China Region of Red Dragon Gallery.
Beard, nine rings, three strings of Buddhist beads... It seems that those who engage in art have quite high requirements for their own "personality".
"Mr. Qi, nice to meet you." Li Yan smiled, and then glanced at Wei Yunzhi. Unexpectedly, the little beauty also knew this person.
"Brother Long, what a coincidence."
"Xiao Yunzhi, this is no coincidence. I heard from Lao Lin that you were coming, so I have been waiting for you." Qi Delong was still very grasping. He looked like he was talking with a high tone, "You don't know how difficult it is for Mr. Li to get an appointment now."
"Brother Long will introduce artists to my dad." Wei Yunzhi whispered to Li Yan.
Li Yan thought it was exaggerated that the red dragon took the initiative to ask him for a painting, but who would have thought that it could actually play the role of following and waiting.
No big deal, brother, I am not a famous artist, my main identity at present is an entrepreneur.
"Mr. Li," Qi Delong's posture was quite low, and his body language was completely different from the two people at the dinner table when they first met, "please make a payment on this painting and set a price."
Wei Yunzhi looked at Li Yan with "You are amazing".
Li Yan refused without hesitation, "I am going to give this painting to Yun Zhi, and I have no intention of selling it."
Qi Delong showed a regretful expression, "Then I don’t know when I will have the opportunity to recommend your paintings to collectors.”
Li Yan smiled and said, "There will be. I will contact you one day when I draw some works that I am satisfied with. Today's picture is nothing. Even if it is not given to Yunzhi, I am not happy for the red dragon to use it to 'represent' My level.”
“It’s convenient to leave a WeChat message. "Do you have your contact information?" Qi Delong took out a Jiaolong mobile phone, "I really want Honglong to be the promoter of your painting. This will be beneficial to both of us."
At this point, Li Yan probably knows Qi Delong. The purpose is to follow Li Yan's legendary story as a bonus to his performance.
After all, he is also the general manager of the South China region. He can directly enter the top management of Red Dragon with one step forward. He has this motivation.
Li Yan didn't like his businessmanlike attitude before, but now that Li Yan is a businessman himself, he is not so disgusted with Qi Delong's straightforward talk about interests.
"This is my mobile phone number." Li Yan did not choose to give him a WeChat account because Qi Delong was not worthy yet.
"Then today is also very rewarding," Qi Delong smiled heartily, "Well, Mr. Li, to be honest, I think that with your talent, not painting more paintings is a big loss for the entire industry. It’s a loss.”
Li Yan was noncommittal.
“Of course, you are now at a high level and are already doing some things beyond my knowledge.” Qi Delong changed the topic again, “The money that can be earned from the mobile phone industry can be pursued no matter how many pictures you draw. No. Compared with today’s big self, doing literature and art is a small self.”
You are really commercialized...
Perhaps because they saw that Li Yan and Wei Yunzhi didn't want to spend too much time with him, Qi Delong said a few polite words and left after getting the contact information.
“Are you ready to go to the next location?” Wei Yunzhi looked at Li Yan and put away the painting in his hand.
Good guy, it’s as if Qi Delong never existed.
“I haven’t signed the painting yet.” Li Yan smiled and wanted to take the painting from Wei Yunzhi’s hand.
“No, that’s fine.”
"Where are you going next?"
"YY Bookstore."
"Do you want me to buy it?"
"That's not necessary." Wei Yunzhi smiled The branches are trembling.
“How to get there?”
"Uncle Gao is already waiting for us at the entrance of the park!"
"Eh? Are you taking a car?" It's still your family's official driver... The eldest lady is still the eldest lady after all.
“Because I’m getting on the subway with painting materials in my hand...it’s a bit conspicuous.”
Li Yan thought to herself, do we still need painting materials to stand out?
Walking to the entrance of the park, Li Yan nodded, "Yes, the Maybach is relatively inconspicuous."
The journey was not that far, and we were in Wei Yili's car with his own driver... He still couldn't let go. Li Yan didn't say much during the whole journey. When Wei Yunzhi saw him like this, he stopped talking twice and became quiet. Wait until the end.
"Uncle Gao, I will go home alone. You go pick up my dad."
Li Yan couldn't help laughing.
"What?" The little beauty frowned.
"No, usually only the elders say you pick up my child. This is the first time I heard a daughter tell the driver to pick up my dad, hahahahahaha."
I haven’t been to a familiar place for a while.
As always, there was no one inside, but it was very clean.
The landlady burst into laughter as soon as she saw them.
Can you stop laughing? I’ll be your exclusive guest soon.
Li Yan has always suspected that all the money this place makes throughout the year is from the drinks they buy.
It’s not enough to cover the cost of air conditioning for a month in summer, right?
"What do you want to ask me in the car?" After sitting down, Li Yan relaxed and asked the little beauty.
“I would like to know what you think about Brother Long’s big and small self?”
The girl blinked her curious eyes, just like the close-ups in the comics that hit people’s hearts.
"Qi Delong himself said that the big self and the small self are too superficial. The 'big' and 'small' are not about the size of the project and how much money is made...so I am too lazy to respond. But the two words themselves It is a discussion of value, a stance, and a realm. Thinking about more people and focusing on the majority of people is the big self; thinking about yourself or those close to you is the small self.”
Wei Yunzhi nodded, "That's what I want to hear."
The landlady brought lemonade, Li Yan quickly ordered two cups of coffee, and then continued, "Most of the time, we admire She Xiaojia For everyone, to realize the individual self with the big self, this is also the mainstream value of the entire society. The more you strive for the benefit of everyone, that is, the more you will be praised and loved. ”
< br>Wei Yunzhi nodded.
“A businessman who is dedicated to the people is a people’s entrepreneur; a businessman who is dedicated to himself is a capitalist.”
“I saw an article in the newspaper saying that you lowered the price of a smartphone. , spending huge sums of money to build food safety testing stations are all manifestations of great ambition.”
"I have considered this." After Li Yan finished speaking, he took a long breath, "In other words, I have indeed been coerced by mainstream values."
Wei Yunzhi seemed to be waiting for this sentence and nodded. Like pounding garlic.
"Seriously speaking, I really cannot be a pure capitalist. I can get a strong pleasure from creating benefits for the masses and changing human lives. But, I am a very As a selfish person, I can't use these things as my first motivation."
Li Yan said the tangled words, but his expression was very relaxed.
"You seem to have the answer." Wei Yunzhi moved closer to Li Yan.
"Use the small self to realize the big self." Li Yan said, "This is the road that belongs to me."
If you cultivate yourself to the extreme, you can change the world with just a single move, as long as you make some contribution to mankind. ideas, he can contribute.
There is no other reason, I am guilty.
No one can be deceived by the feeling of fullness, peace of mind, transparency and smoothness just now when the system value increases.
This is fucking stronger than the pleasure of making billions!
At that moment, all the messy thoughts disappeared.
Now that the matter is done, what Li Yan has to do is actually very simple, which is to seize every opportunity and use all time to improve himself.
Wei Yunzhi was staring at Li Yan in trance, his moist eyes facing Li Yan's eyes.
Getting a little closer, Li Yan could even feel the girl's breath.
It’s still a bit hard to cope with looking so straight.
"Uh... Yunzhi, what are you doing when you come to YY Bookstore? Buy this store?"
Wei Yunzhi did not flash back from the trance this time, but kept looking at each other. , the red lips slightly opened:
“Draw me.”
