If the cows and horses knew that they would never get ahead in their lives, would they still plow the fields diligently and without complaint?
Times have changed, and today’s world is indeed different from Shi Zhenhua’s era. Gone are the days when as long as you dare to venture and fight, you will always succeed if you don’t die.
Song Chaoge does speak of reality to a certain extent.
Aren’t people working hard enough nowadays?
No.
Not inferior to his predecessors.
However, our predecessors were able to rise from scratch and create the myth of wealth, but now all the sweat has become a catalyst for internal friction and involution.
The harder you work, it seems that it does not bring you the beautiful life you want, but instead makes you harder.
The harder you work, the results promote the evolution from 9 to 5 to 996 and even 007 models.
But the world cannot be turned around, we have to live.
So you can’t live with yourself.
If the surroundings are dark, you can only light a candle for yourself.
People always have to have a little hope, even if it is self-deception.
If I were not selected by the dog-licking system, where would I be at this moment?
Looking at the packed Afang Palace, Jiang Chen couldn’t help but think again.
No surprises.
It should also be one of the cows and horses.
Just like Song Chaoge said before leaving, there shouldn't even be any unrealistic fantasies.
Graduating from Tunghai University, in terms of academic qualifications, is enough to defeat 90% of people, but it does not mean that you can get ahead.
At least.
It shouldn't be easy to settle down in a city like Kyoto.
So Boss Jiang never thinks that he is gifted, nor does he think that he is the son of destiny. He knows the truth of the world, so he understands his own ordinaryness better.
——And it is precisely thanks to this sobriety that he can stick to himself and remain consistent.
Why do people easily lose their way?
Because I always forget where to start.
It stands to reason that with Comrade Jiang Chen's current net worth, a bottle of 1972 Macallan is only a drop in the ocean, but he actually wants Song Chaoge AA.
Why?
The nouveau riche mentality is terrible.
Song Chaoge, who had a very different starting point, was obviously not so diligent and thrifty. When he left, he had not finished drinking nearly two million yuan in wine, with almost half left.
Jiang Chen drank by himself and enjoyed the show on the stage. Returning to his hometown from a war-torn place full of bullets, although he didn't need jet lag, he needed to adapt.
Just when Boss Jiang was sitting alone and relaxing, someone suddenly sat down uninvited.
Just say nothing.
Then she even took the initiative to pick up the bottle of 1972 Macallan and poured herself some wine.
That’s right.
The person who came uninvited was a woman, and she was quite beautiful in the eyes of the public.
Long hair flowing.
Black and gold tweed mini jacket.
Half-neck white long-sleeved bottoming shirt.
Straight-leg extra wide-leg trousers.
Simplicity reveals a foreign style.
A small and exquisite nose, a palm-sized oval face, which makes the eyes extra large, plus the makeup effect... If a woman like this takes the initiative to find a man to join the stage in a nightclub, I believe she will basically not be rejected.
Of course.
"Basically" does not mean 100%.
As we all know, Boss Jiang is a weirdo. No matter when he was in school or now, he does not follow the crowd. Furthermore, this woman is beautiful, but she does not meet Boss Jiang's aesthetics.
There is no other reason.
——The sense of technology is too heavy.
Everyone has the right to pursue beauty. Boss Jiang respects this, but respect is just respect.
In contrast, he agrees more with the beauty of original ecology and pure nature.
The beautiful woman with a sense of technology really treated Boss Jiang as nothing, and was not worried about whether there was any problem with the wine. She started drinking as soon as she poured it down, and she drank half a glass. It seemed that she was not in a good mood. Boss Jiang is naturally a gentleman, not to mention that this is still in his own store. Even if the other person does not meet his aesthetic taste, he did not say anything bad. He just pretended that nothing happened. He glanced at the other person and then turned his attention to the stage again. .
"What kind of wine is this?"
The beauty who didn't know how much investment she had made in her asked.
People have different visions.
The 1972 Macallan, which is rarely circulated in the market, is unrecognizable to most people, even veterans who often hang out in nightclubs.
“Whiskey.”
Jiang Chen said simply, and at the same time he picked up the wine glass, feeling full of it. There was a beautiful woman sitting in front of him, but he didn't seem to care. She was young but calm and very attractive.
Nightclubs are undoubtedly one of the places where romance is most likely to happen, which is why so many men and women love it here, but Epang Palace is an exception.
As one of the premier places in Kyoto, the women who come here to spend money are basically not ordinary people, and the chance of having sex here is very slim.
Boss Jiang doesn’t feel that his charm is so great that he can be embraced by rich and beautiful women just by sitting still.
Because the mind is calm, the mind is at ease.
Besides, he has no interest in seeking excitement. To say the least, even if he did, it wouldn't be in his own store.
The boss is looking for beauty in his own store, which is disgraceful and breaks the rules.
“Why is it not the same as the whiskey I drank?”
The beauty with long hair was confused, holding the cup, she was quite familiar, and at first glance she was a regular customer of the nightclub, said Then, she took another bite.
“The taste of whiskey should be full and rich, producing a burning smoky feeling from the mouth to the nasal cavity.”
"Different whiskeys have different tastes."
Jiang Chen was still concise, clarified, but seemed to ignore it, with a lukewarm attitude.
"Alone?"
The beauty flipped her hair.
“I have a friend, let’s go.”
"You don't mind?"
Jiang Chen smiled.
What's the use of minding it?
Miss, please sit down.
And the wine was drunk.
Jiang Chen remained silent, not even looking at the other person.
Beauty is a scarce resource in society, and the same goes for artificial beauties.
After all, artificial beauty requires self-investment.
This lady who is dogmatic in every move and even in her conversation should rarely receive such neglect. Of course, she is at a level where she can come to Afang Palace to spend money, and she will definitely not be as vulgar as a low-ranking person. pink.
She didn’t show off her face, nor did she feel unhappy. She just left and continued chatting with Jiang Chen.
"Looking at your accent, you're not from Kyoto, right?"
"No."
According to the convention, after answering, you should ask the other person a question naturally. In this way, the topic will be Opened it, but Boss Jiang didn't do that. He only answered without asking questions, and played cards against common sense, thus risking the embarrassment of letting the atmosphere fall into silence.
“Have you had enough trouble?”
A man came over, stood by the table, and whispered at the artificial beauty.
Upon seeing this, Boss Jiang suddenly realized, and at the same time, he felt a little dumbfounded.
Same.
Where did so many beautiful blessings fall from the sky?
He is not like the young prince. Even if he is kicked out of the house, he can live on his face.
So.
Are you using this as a tool? (End of this chapter)
