I have ten trillion licking dog gold

If oxen and horses knew that they would never get ahead in their lives, would they still plow the fields diligently and uncomplainingly?

With the changes of the times, the world today is indeed different from that of Shi Zhenhua's era. The days when you would succeed as long as you dared to take risks and fight hard and survive are gone forever.

To some extent, what Song Chaoge said is indeed realistic.

Aren’t people working hard enough these days?

No.

Not inferior to predecessors.

However, our predecessors were able to create a wealth myth by leaping into higher classes from scratch, but now all their sweat has become a catalyst for internal friction and involution.

The harder I work, the less I seem to get the good life I want. Instead, it becomes harder and harder.

The harder you work, the more it drives the evolution from 996-to-007 to or even .

But the world cannot be changed, and we have to live.

So you can't be hard on yourself.

If it is pitch dark around you, you can only light a candle for yourself.

People always have to have a little hope, even if it is self-deception.

  If I had not been 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.

Not surprisingly.

It should also be one of the cattle and horses.

Just like what Song Chaoge said before he left, there shouldn't even be any unrealistic fantasies.

Graduates from Tunghai University, in terms of academic qualifications, are enough to beat 90% of people, but it does not mean that they can succeed.

at least.

It shouldn't be easy to settle down in a city like Kyoto.

Therefore, Boss Jiang never thought that he was gifted, nor did he think that he was the man of destiny. He knew the truth of this world very well, so he understood his own ordinariness even more.

——And it is precisely thanks to this clarity that he can stay true to himself and remain consistent.

  Why do people easily lose their way?

Because I always forget where I started.

Logically speaking, with Comrade Jiang Chen's current wealth, a bottle of 72 Macallan is just a drop in the ocean, but he actually asked Song Chaoge to split the bill.

  why?

The nouveau riche mentality is not good.

Song Chaoge, who had a very different starting point, was obviously not so frugal. When he left, nearly two million bottles of wine were not finished, with almost half left.

Jiang Chen drank by himself and enjoyed the performance on the stage. Returning to his homeland from the war-torn land of bullets and gunfire, although he did not need to adjust to the time difference, he still needed to adapt.

Just when Boss Jiang was sitting alone and relaxing, someone suddenly sat down uninvited.

Just don't say anything.

Then she actually took the bottle of 72 Macallan and poured herself a glass of wine.

That's right.

The person who came uninvited was a woman, and a very beautiful woman in the eyes of the public.

Long hair flowing.

Black and gold tweed Chanel style jacket.

White long-sleeved half-high collar base shirt.

Straight-leg extra wide-leg trousers.

Simple and stylish.

A small and delicate nose, an oval face the size of a palm, eyes that look extra large, plus the modifying effect of makeup... If such a woman were to actively seek out a man for a date in a nightclub, I believe she would basically not be rejected.

of course.

“Basically” does not mean 100%.

As everyone knows, Boss Jiang is a weirdo. He never follows the crowd, whether in school or now. Besides, although this woman is beautiful, she does not meet Boss Jiang's aesthetic standards.

There is no other reason.

——It feels too technological.

Everyone has the right to pursue beauty. Boss Jiang respects this, but respect is just respect.

In contrast, he identifies more with the beauty of pristine nature.

The high-tech beauty really treated Boss Jiang as air, not worrying about whether there was anything wrong with the wine. She poured it and started drinking, drinking half a cup at a time, and seemed to be in a bad mood. Boss Jiang is naturally a gentleman, not to mention that this is in his own store. Even if the other party does not meet his aesthetic standards, he did not say anything bad, just as if nothing happened. He glanced at the other party and then turned his attention back to the stage.

"What kind of wine is this?"

asked the beautiful lady who had no idea how much she had invested in her body.

People have different perspectives.

The 72 Macallan is rarely circulated in the market, and most people cannot recognize it, even those who often hang out in nightclubs.

"whisky."

Jiang Chen said simply, while holding up the wine glass, feeling full of energy. There was obviously a beautiful woman sitting in front of him, but he didn't seem to care. He was young but calm and very attractive.

Nightclubs are undoubtedly one of the places where romantic encounters are most likely to occur, which is why so many men and women are fond of these places, but the Afang Palace is an exception.

As the leading place in Kyoto, the women who come here to consume are basically no ordinary people, and the probability of getting lucky here is very small.

Boss Jiang doesn't think that his charm is so great that he can make rich and beautiful women fall into his arms just by sitting still.

Because the mind is calm, the heart is at peace.

Besides, he had no interest in seeking excitement. Even if he did, it would not be in his own store.

It is shameful and against the rules for the boss to hunt for beauties in his own shop.

“Why is it different from the whiskeys I’ve had before?”

The beautiful woman with long flowing hair looked puzzled, holding the cup, quite familiar and obviously a regular customer of the nightclub. As she spoke, she took another sip.

“The whiskey should taste full and rich, with a burning, smoky sensation from mouth to nose.”

“Different whiskeys have different tastes.”

Jiang Chen was still concise. He answered but seemed to ignore him, with a lukewarm attitude.

"one person?"

The beauty lifted her hair.

"I have a friend, I'm leaving."

"you do not mind?"

Jiang Chen smiled.

What's the point of minding or not minding.

Miss, you are already seated.

And they all drank the wine.

Jiang Chen remained silent and didn't even look at the other person.

Beauty is a scarce resource in society, and the same goes for artificial beauty.

After all, artificial beauty requires a huge investment in oneself.

This lady, whose every move and even her conversation reveal dogmatism, should rarely be treated coldly like this. Of course, she is of a level that can afford to spend money in the Afang Palace, and she certainly won't be like the low-level, vulgar women.

She didn't show any displeasure or just walked away, continuing to chat with Jiang Chen.

"From your accent, you're not from Kyoto, are you?"

"No."

According to convention, after answering the question, one should naturally ask the other party a question in return, so that the topic can be opened up. However, Boss Jiang did not do this. He just answered without asking any questions, which was unconventional. As a result, the atmosphere was put at risk of becoming awkward.

"have you had enough."

A man came over, stood beside the table, and whispered a scolding to the artificial beauty.

Seeing this, Boss Jiang suddenly realized what was going on, and at the same time, he felt a little amused and helpless.

Also.

Where does so much good fortune come from?

He is not like the little prince who can live on his face even if he is kicked out of his home.

and so.

Have I become a tool? (End of this chapter)
