Evil Emperor Zun

Chapter 1611 Bento Philosophy
After that strange dinner, Yi Xin found time to make a bento according to Xilingchen's request.

Some time ago, Brother Xiao taught himself and Senior Sister Liu Mo to cook. At that time, the three of them even had a video connection with God of Cooking Chen Shiyu.Under their guidance, although Yi Xin dare not say how good her cooking skills are now, at least she is no longer a complete novice in the kitchen.

"President Xiling, this is the bento I made. Would you like to try it?" Right now, Yi Xin is standing in his office, carefully handing out the bento box, "Because I'm still a beginner, the taste may not be very good... ...and please forgive me."

"Then, President Xiling, take your time, and I'll go first?" Afterwards, she tentatively asked for instructions.

"Wait a minute." Xi Lingchen stopped her, "Go and close the door, come and sit together."

"Eh?" Yi Xin was taken aback, "Is this... okay?"

Xilingchen looked at her with a half-smile: "Then you are going to put it down and run away? If it doesn't taste good, I won't admit it."

Yi Xin hesitated for a moment, vaguely feeling something was wrong.But after thinking about it, it's not like they didn't have dinner together. They don't care if they are big bosses, so don't take it too seriously. After all, this is still an "apology box".

Thinking of this, she nodded obediently, and closed the door behind her.Xi Lingchen had already prepared a chair for her and let her sit next to him.

The air-conditioning was turned on in the office. Unlike Jing Chuzhuo's icehouse-like office, the air-conditioning here was quite moderate and comfortable.But maybe because the distance between the two is too close and they are alone in such a special place, Yi Xin can still feel the temperature on his face rising sharply.She was fidgeting, her fingers crossed repeatedly on her knees, and she could only try to concentrate on the bento box in front of her.

What she made was braised pork rice, and thoughtfully added eggs and bean curd sticks, at least it still looked pretty.

Seeing him take the first bite, Yi Xin sat upright subconsciously, waiting anxiously for his evaluation.

"Don't be so nervous." However, Xilingchen neither said it was delicious, nor said it was not delicious. Instead, he chatted with her like a family routine, "Actually, I quite like the feeling of getting along with you." , very relaxed, you can say whatever you want. Unlike those other girls, I always feel that they are trying to figure something out of me."

"What they say and do, I can easily read the purpose behind their words and deeds. Every word they say, and even every expression is purposeful, just to make you feel good about her. Create good feelings After that, I will take advantage of you. If you are surrounded by such people, you will know how valuable sincerity is."

"What about you?" After some emotion, he turned his eyes to look at Yi Xin, "Are you very restrained with me?"

Yi Xinben wanted to deny it, but thought that his cover-up would definitely be seen through by him.Since he just said that he likes sincerity, then... try not to hide it from him.

"A little bit." After a brief silence, she nodded honestly, "After all...you are a big shot with status, and I'm just an ordinary student. I find it incredible. But it is because of this that I am even more afraid that if I say something wrong or do something wrong, I will make you angry..."

It is precisely because of this reason that when she gets along with Xilingchen, she can't always be as relaxed and natural as other friends.His identity was like a mountain, weighing her down so hard that she couldn't breathe.Perhaps, the class difference is too great, it is difficult to have equal friendship.

"And then?" Xi Lingchen suddenly smiled, and he moved a hand to rest on the back of her chair, with a touch of teasing in his gentleness, "Afraid that if I get angry, I won't talk to you anymore?"

"Hey..." Yi Xin looked at him blankly, her face turned red again.

I can't say that, why did the atmosphere suddenly become so ambiguous...

"Then I promise you, I won't be angry with you." Xi Lingchen still said in that bewitching tone, and brushed the bangs on her forehead, "Even if I am really angry, I can't bear to talk to you , so you can rest assured, right?"

"Also, don't worry about the script, I don't blame you." After teasing the girl enough, he returned to the subject, "If you like to write, next time I will invest in a drama for you. "

"The script..." After the manuscript was handed in, it was the first time Yi Xin got news about the script, but it made her heart sink heavily, "Did it pass...?"

If the script fails to pass, she will not be able to get the manuscript fee, and she will not be able to become famous as a screenwriter. These external factors will certainly disappoint her, but what makes her even more frustrated is that President Xiling gave her the first job. If she didn't do well, she felt that she was sorry for him, and also for Senior Sister Liu Mo who worked so hard to guide her...

This feeling of living up to other people's expectations is so sad...

"Frankly speaking, I was really disappointed at the beginning when you wrote it like this at your level." Xi Lingchen didn't shy away from anything, "But when I think about it later, with your current experience, this result is quite normal."

Based on her experience, it's not that "poor writing" is normal, but that "being tricked" is normal.

He also figured it out, and asked Liu Mo to take her to do this project. She was doomed to "do not write well" from the very beginning.

As a secretary, Liu Mo's working ability is indeed very strong.But the fly in the ointment is that her jealousy and jealousy are also very strong, it is impossible for her to be a green leaf for others honestly.

Therefore, she will give herself a satisfactory answer sheet, but she will not let this answer sheet bear the name of others.

Maybe Yi Xin really didn't finish the script this time, but even if she did, Liu Mo would probably get in the way.It's not her fault, it's the people he arranges who don't want her to be well, so why should he blame her.

Liu Mo can't be blamed for this "not wanting to be nice to others", he himself is a very bad role model.

The Lianghu Chamber of Commerce and the Mohist Firm are both leaders in the business world today, and their business has penetrated into all fields.In terms of comprehensive strength, the Mohist firm became famous first, and its foundation has been established, but the newly appointed young owner, Mo Liangcheng, is indecisive and not a material for doing business.The neutralization of the two gave Xi Lingchen the opportunity to catch up.

For many bosses, doing business does not mean being No.1 in shopping malls.They know that they don't have the ability, as long as they can keep the property in their hands and get a stable piece of cake to eat, that's enough.But Xilingchen is very ambitious. His era of "willing to be the second" has passed. From the day he took over as the chairman of the Lianghu Chamber of Commerce, he made up his mind that the number one in the business world belongs to him. !

Those large and small enterprises are nothing to worry about, his only thorn in the side is the Mojia firm!He must pull down the Mo family and his son as a stepping stone for him to climb to the top of the business world!

Here I would like to say that the competition between the microfilm of the Lianghu Chamber of Commerce and the opening of the Mojia Food City has puzzled many people.Don't you compete with so many film and television dramas released at the same time, and compete with a gourmet city?They are not in the same field, so what is there to argue about?

But it is not surprising that this matter is blunt.Xilingchen didn't pay much attention to the film and television dramas of the same period. He only stared at the Mojia firm from the beginning to the end.When the listing time of the two projects arrives at the same time, then compete for popularity and profit, no matter whether you are in the same field or not, you will be better than you anyway.

Some people on the Internet think that Xilingchen's "cross-field competition" behavior is stupid, and he hasn't even found a real enemy... But in fact, he is not stupid, he is just narrow-minded.

"President Xiling, can I ask you a question?" While he was silently contemplating, Yi Xin's voice brought him back to reality, "Which one is better... in your creation, imitation or innovation?" The right choice?"

"Since a routine can become popular, it means that it already has something that can be recognized. If it is well imitated, the results should not be too bad. In contrast...innovation may be thankless, because it does not It’s not that something you haven’t seen must be a good thing. It is very likely that you have thought hard and worked hard, but the final product is not satisfactory. So in this case, should the same Do you choose to follow the trend or insist on innovation?"

"Although it is indeed safer to follow the trend, if everyone chooses this safe path, no one will innovate, and there will be no progress. Just like many works we see now are all the same, This is a market-oriented choice. I don’t think it’s wrong for an author to write works that readers like to read in order to survive, but it shouldn’t be wrong to follow the path he wants to go, right? I’m really a bit hard to say...”

She didn't think about these issues before, she just naively thought it was good to stick to herself.But the failure of the script made her doubt her inherent ideas.Does untimely persistence mean being eliminated by society?

When Sister Liu Mo suggested that she revise the script, she was asked to imitate popular routines.After a few struggles, she accepted the offer.But the revised script still failed, which made her start to think, if she had chosen to stick to herself, would the result be different today?Or...will it be worse?
"Imitation and innovation, isn't it?" Xi Lingchen smiled, seeing her such a reserved little girl discussing these in-depth topics, she immediately put aside her timidity completely, which is quite interesting.In order to cooperate with her, he temporarily made himself more serious.

"This problem is not limited to creation, it is the same in any field. Some people make a new type of project popular, and when others see it, they all get together to do it, and it has been a bad street, so the value of this project is depreciated. These get together People who do it can indeed make some money by following the trend, but no one can compare to the first person who made the project popular. There is a saying that is 'always imitated, never surpassed', and this is the truth."

Yi Xin took a deep breath: "So... Is it true that innovation is more promising?"

"It can be said to be, but not all." Xi Lingchen leaned against the back of the chair and talked eloquently, "I am not against imitation. When you have no experience, it is okay to imitate something that is already very good in this field." Let you learn a lot. The main thing is to see if you can transform these things into your own."

"There are only so many ideas. It's not so easy to completely innovate. You can see that there are many outstanding inventions in this era, but they are all based on imitation. For example, some high-tech electronic products now, When it was first created, the functions were often very simple. So many people continued to design similar products, and gradually the functions became more and more comprehensive, completely replacing the previous generations of products.”

"The first generation of inventors is what you call innovators. Compared with the inventors of later generations, who is better in terms of influence and income? Naturally, they are the inventors of later generations. This is starting from imitation and achieving success. typical example."

"Then why they were successful, because they added innovation on the basis of imitation. Let me tell you this, assuming that the first-generation product has 5 functions, you have to imitate without using your brain, and only imitated 3 functions. Then naturally, if you imitate for a lifetime, you can still only pick up the wisdom of others."

"But if you put your mind to it, and you find that there are things worth improving in these existing functions, then you launch a new product with 10 functions. You have the advantages of the original product, and the disadvantages of the original product. You don’t have any, so who do you think customers will choose? It’s very simple.”

"That's why, there are many people who like to imitate, but few can really imitate the results. Many people are lazy, they just go for the immediate benefit, so they can barely imitate the 'shape'. Of course, it is okay to make a small profit, but once the whole street is similar to your imitation, you will have no competitiveness.”

"So whether you can have enough wisdom to imitate the 'God' and innovate on this basis is the key to whether you can reach the top of the pyramid."

Yi Xin nodded thoughtfully, that's why Senior Sister Liu Mo said before that there is nothing wrong with innovating on the basis of routines, it's just that I'm too stupid, I learned the form but didn't learn the spirit...

"In addition, I have to remind you." Then, Xilingchen said casually, "If you want to be a successful person, you need to maintain independent thinking ability, and you can't just believe what others say. It doesn’t mean that you have to deny all the well-intentioned suggestions of others. What you should believe and what you should not believe, you need to have your own judgment. As for how to judge, this will test your experience.”

"Oh, and." He smiled mysteriously, "You seem to have put too much salt in your rice, and it tastes very salty."

"Will it?" Yi Xin was a little surprised, but also a little flustered, "I tried it myself after I made it, and the taste is quite normal..."

"Then you try again now?" Xi Lingchen smiled, picked up the idle spoon in the lunch box, scooped up a spoon and brought it to her mouth.

Yi Xin didn't think too much, she was really worried about making a mistake in the bento, so she subconsciously opened her mouth to eat it.

"It's nothing...is it wrong?" Tasting the moderately salty meal, Yi Xin doubted her sense of taste for a moment.

Xilingchen smiled: "Really, have another sip?"

Looking at the rice spoon brought to his mouth again, Yi Xin's heart skipped a beat.She realized that there is actually nothing wrong with the rice, President Xiling...just deliberately lying to herself to eat...

She wanted to refuse, but she couldn't resist him, so she blushed slightly and opened her mouth to eat.

At this moment, Liu Mo happened to come over to deliver the documents, and with a light push on the door, she had a panoramic view of the scene.

"!" Alarm bells rang in her mind, and Liu Mo's first reaction was to quickly close the door again.But the way the president feeds Xinxin is always lingering in her mind, making her jealous and driving her crazy.

Unwilling, Liu Mo collected herself, pushed the door open again, and secretly took a photo with the jade slip.

After that, she became ruthless and sent this photo to Rong Huang with a small account.
