I have ten trillion licking dog gold
Chapter 1204 Idealism
Although childhood experiences vary, they are due to personality and gender differences.
As people of the same era, Boss Jiang must be aware of the fable of Mr. Dongguo.
It's still the damn sense of humor at work.
Afterwards, after Xu Kuan went to rest, Boss Jiang asked the Filipino maid to pour him a cup of sobering soup.
"You're not drunk."
Boss Jiang drank the hot soup and said, "It's already cooked, so it won't be wasted."
Pei Yunxi did not tease him this time, but looked at him silently, making him feel uncomfortable.
"Do you think I'm pretty good-looking?"
Boss Jiang was holding a hangover soup and while talking, his eyes were looking at the setting sun outside the window.
A year goes by really fast.
Tomorrow is New Year's Eve.
"Can you tell me why?"
Pei Yunxi asked calmly.
I don't know if it can be said that it was love at first sight, but at least Jiang Chen, who was able to make people never get tired of him, continued to drink the hangover soup, exhaled slightly, and then the corners of his mouth turned up.
"Did you have any ambitions when you were a child?"
“Study for the rise of China?”
Pei Yunxi responded calmly, fully able to understand and cooperate with the other party's humor.
Jiang Chen's arc is deeper.
"That's not the case. My ambition when I was a kid was actually pretty vulgar. When I grew up, I wanted to buy a big villa with a front yard and a backyard, a sports car like the ones in Transformers, and if my family was healthy, then I wouldn't ask for anything else."
"Are you still thinking of finding a beautiful wife?"
Jiang Chen smiled dumbly, without any shame, and said openly: "I haven't thought about this."
He tilted his head and looked at the woman who was modest enough to describe herself as "beautiful as a flower" and said, "I'm not being hypocritical. Think about it, I already have a big villa and a sports car, so why would I need a wife?"
It's indeed not hypocritical.
So damn honest.
The face that impressed all the visiting guests remained calm, Pei Yunxi remained calm and nodded slightly.
"No wonder you have achieved what you have today. You are so insightful at such a young age."
"Ha ha……"
Boss Jiang couldn't help but laugh out loud, slapping his thigh.
No matter how ingenious a piece of art is, if it fails to create a tacit connection, it is like a soulless shell and its appeal will be greatly reduced.
The difference is like a collector who will collect many treasures. Some of them will be placed in a corner to gather dust and no longer be cared about, but some will be taken out from time to time to admire and cannot be put down.
"If you keep being so funny, be careful that your contract expires. I insist on renewing it."
Jiang Chen picked up the sobering soup, his face curved and smiling.
Pei Yunxi was unmoved and disagreed, "You won't."
"Why wouldn't I?"
Jiang Chen was puzzled and curious.
"How could a man of such noble character embarrass a woman?"
"cough……"
Jiang Chen was almost choked, and became even more delighted.
Not easy.
Although Pei Yunxi is not a "feminist" like Cao Jinse, she is definitely not a weak character.
She actually took the initiative to describe herself as "a woman".
Needless to say.
Today it is today.
Step by step, she was finally convinced by Boss Jiang, at least on some level.
"Are you serious?"
Jiang Chen asked with a smile, "Do you really think I'm noble?"
"Whether I feel it or not is not important."
Yes.
No matter how this guy behaves in front of her, it cannot affect his "noble sentiments".
Just because someone can be called great does not mean that he is perfect in every aspect. History will never make evaluations on a narrow level.
and many more.
When did we have to look at this guy from a historical perspective?
But it is really as the Allied commander said.
This guy has become an indispensable part of this era, or in other words, an integral part of this era.
And most people.
In the torrent of the times, we are just tiny specks of insignificant dust, drifting with the tide and leaving no trace.
"Ms. Pei, your spiritual realm has improved significantly since coming to Myanmar."
Jiang Chen praised, looking impressed.
Whether I feel it or not is not important.
It seems simple, but it is actually full of meaning and fascinating.
"If you keep improving like this, you can give lectures at universities. Coincidentally, I know a friend at Kyoto University..."
No matter how great a person is, he will have a lazy side.
Pei Yunxi stood up as if she had heard nothing.
"Why go?"
“A breath of fresh air.”
"..."
Jiang Chen put down the bowl, stood up with a smile, and said, "Let's go together."
The two went out, not taking a car, but walking.
of course.
Necessary safety measures are indispensable.
Several guards in plain clothes followed and provided secret protection.
Kaluzi under the rule of the Allied Forces should generally be a stable area in Myanmar. As for the massacre in the market, it was just an unexpected incident caused by the unearthed rare treasures.
If the dragon stone seeds are not opened, nothing will happen.
Children chased and played with each other, occasionally running onto the road, attracting honking horns and verbal abuse from car owners who leaned out of their heads.
There are many small stalls on both sides of the street, selling daily groceries, vegetables and fruits, as well as homemade handicrafts.
This is the atmosphere of fireworks that is becoming increasingly rare in China.
"Don't forget to call your parents."
Listening to the chatter around him, Pei Yunxi felt helpless for no reason.
What a big shot he is.
I actually have the leisure to worry about these trivial family matters.
"That's not the kind of problem you need to worry about."
"That should be the question."
Pei Yunxi was silent for a moment, then said, "Your safety issue."
Jiang Chen smiled.
"It's good to have a sense of crisis, but aren't you too nervous? Even if the allies no longer need my assistance and we part ways, it's at most a peaceful breakup. What reason do you have to turn against each other?"
"Even in relationships between men and women, there are many examples of peaceful breakups."
Jiang Chen was speechless for a moment.
"A woman's sixth sense?"
He asked with a smile.
"You taught me to assume the worst of others."
Pei Yunxi replied.
"If security is not guaranteed, I will return home."
Okay.
They say that when disaster strikes, everyone flees for their lives, but the forest hasn't even started burning yet. These are just subjective speculations and imaginary conjectures.
"What about me? You left by yourself and left me here alone?"
"You are a great man, and I am not."
Jiang Chen suddenly choked and felt chest tightness, then he laughed out of anger.
Who said this person is serious and not good at speaking?
Look at how sharp her tongue is. She is almost on par with that bitch Shi Qianqian.
"No, we agreed to go together and return together. I know you are hard on the outside but soft on the inside, and you must feel guilty about it."
What is an optimist?
The necessary point is to know how to comfort yourself.
Pei Yunxi ignored him and suddenly walked to the left side of the road and stopped in front of a stall.
Jiang Chen looked over.
It sells candy melon seeds.
He followed slowly.
"Boss, how much are the candies?"
Pei Yunxi asked the vendor.
Yes.
The scene has been set up, but the New Year's goods have not been purchased.
Things like melon seeds, peanuts, and candies are indispensable during the Spring Festival.
"Ten yuan a pound."
"Are they all ten yuan?"
"Yes, all the candies are the same price, ten yuan."
"I ate this candy when I was a kid, it tastes good, boss, give me a bag."
Boss Jiang next to him said.
The vendor quickly handed over a plastic bag and said enthusiastically, "Pick whatever you want."
Boss Jiang opened the bag and started to grab the candies skillfully, preferring hard candies. In a short while, he had grabbed a big bag.
"Can you finish eating?"
"If you can't finish it, eat it slowly. It's Chinese New Year and we need to make a big show. What kind of candy do you like?"
suddenly.
A skinny, dark little hand reached out from the side of the vendor, grabbed a handful of candy and ran away while the vendor wasn't paying attention.
The vendor didn't notice, but Pei Yunxi and Jiang Chen saw it clearly.
Although they didn't say anything, their eyes still reminded the vendor.
The vendor realized something was wrong, turned around instinctively, and immediately started cursing, "Stop right there!"
The boy who stole the candy didn't even look back, he just ran forward for his life.
If it happened in China, it was just a few candies and the stall owner would definitely not bother chasing after it. At most he would just curse at him. But this stall owner had no intention of giving up and immediately started chasing after it without thinking.
The child was skinny, probably about ten years old. He ran very fast and knew how to take advantage of the environment and go to crowded places. But children are children after all, and they can't outrun adults who are serious.
"It's you again, you little bastard!"
After catching the child, the stall owner became furious and roughly pushed the child to the ground, then kicked him hard, without caring at all that this happened in public.
"You don't remember your lesson, do you? I'll beat you to death!"
It's not pretense, it's real effort.
The child who stole the candy seemed to be a repeat offender. He lay in the street, curled up defensively, with his head in his hands, bearing the consequences of his actions.
If this kind of scene happened in any other area, I'm afraid someone would have stood up to see the injustice.
Just a kid.
Is it necessary to be so fussy?
But here, no one cared about what was happening. Some just passed by without paying a single glance, while others pointed and watched for fun.
"Stop hitting me, stop hitting me, I won't do it again, help me!"
The child's screams did not make the stall owner relent, and he kicked harder, "I told you not to steal! I told you not to steal!"
The child, who was enduring the violent storm, rolled on the ground holding his head in agony. It looked as if he might be beaten to death in the street.
After more than ten seconds, Jiang Chen coughed lightly.
"Wait a moment."
Pei Yunxi, who was just standing by and watching like the other passers-by, glanced at him.
Jiang Chen walked over.
The stall owner stopped, panting, turned around and saw that it was his customer, and explained: "This kid often comes here to steal things and has been caught several times."
Actually, I heard it all just now.
Whether adults or children.
If you make a mistake, you should be punished, but in many places, people are overly lenient with children, and here, it seems to be an extreme.
Stealing is wrong.
But he was not beaten to death in the street.
Jiang Chen said nothing and took out a few bills, "I bought the candy he stole."
The stall owner was slightly stunned. He probably didn't expect this to happen, but he didn't hesitate. He quickly walked over and grabbed a few red bills that were almost enough to buy the whole stall. He turned around and spit at the child, "You're lucky today, you bastard. If I see you again next time, I'll break your legs!"
Turning back to face Jiang Chen again, the stall owner quickly regained his smiling face and stuffed the bills into his pocket, "I'll help you pack the candy."
Who would have thought that the child, who had just escaped death and had excellent resistance to blows, did not learn his lesson at all after struggling to get up from the ground. He was covered in dust and cursed the stall owner who returned to the stall ferociously.
"Just wait! I'll come again next time!"
How could a child in his teens be so tough?
The stall owner stared.
The child ran away after cursing, his steps staggering. He turned his head and glanced at Jiang Chen.
"Sir, this bastard is a beast. You saw it all. You helped him, but he didn't even say a word of thanks."
As he spoke, the vendor handed over a bag of candy.
Jiang Chen walked back as if nothing had happened, and took the candy with a chuckle, "Thank you."
"Walk slowly."
The two left the stall.
The guard who was accompanying them came over and took the candy.
"Are you upset?"
Pei Yunxi, who had been watching from the sidelines, spoke with a hint of gloating.
"Why are you so upset?"
Boss Jiang remained calm and composed, and seemed to be trying hard to save his reputation.
"You saved the child, but the child showed no gratitude or even any remorse."
Pei Yunxi kept bringing up issues that were not relevant to the topic, not giving Boss Jiang any face at all.
It is honorable to do good deeds.
However, if good deeds are done to the wrong person, it may turn into an embarrassing incident.
“Does Schrodinger’s cat know?”
Boss Jiang said calmly, "Whether he will repent or not, no one knows until he gets back on his feet."
Pei Yunxi nodded, "That makes sense. But don't you know where this place is? The children here are not as innocent as you think."
“I never thought that children were innocent.”
Boss Jiang remained unfazed and argued confidently, "Do you think I did it to save him? No, I did it for myself."
Pei Yunxi raised the corners of her lips slightly, the amplitude was not big and not obvious, but it was still caught by Boss Jiang.
"What are you laughing at?"
"Have you ever looked carefully in the mirror?"
Pei Yunxi asked suddenly, his imagination was out of the blue.
"What do you mean?"
Jiang Chen couldn't keep up with the pace.
"What kind of person do you think you are?"
Jiang Chen was speechless.
The other party's question, which came without any warning, really stumped him for a moment.
“Pragmatism, no doubt.”
After a while, Boss Jiang gave a self-evaluation.
At such a young age, he already knows how to pursue a front and backyard, luxury supercars, and complete pragmatism. What else could he be?
"No, you're an idealist."
But Pei Yunxi affirmatively and quickly rejected his evaluation of herself and gave a completely opposite opinion.
Jiang Chen sneered, seemingly totally disagreeing with the other party's opinion, "Do you know what idealism is?"
Pei Yunxi watched helplessly as a child who stole things was almost beaten to death without any reaction, looking straight ahead and strolling calmly on the streets of Myanmar, where crime is rampant and only the fittest survive.
“Those who patch up the world are idealists.”
