Rebirth 07: Start adding points from elementary school students

Chapter 299 The More You Reflect, the More Confident You Become
After finishing a painting, reward yourself.

Li Yan found a mutton noodle restaurant and ordered a 100-yuan plate of hand-pulled mutton, a few skewers of mutton and a bowl of noodles.

"Boss, give me some garlic cloves, slice them."

He actually hadn't tried it before, but he had always heard that it was very delicious to add a bite of garlic when eating meat or noodles, so he decided to try it today.

It’s my first try, so I’ll just ask for some garlic chips.

The hand-pulled lamb dish was served slowly, and Li Yan began to reflect on herself as usual.

The issue of "cooperation" was indeed something that Li Yan was criticized for before her rebirth.

His concept then was exactly the same as it is now: cooperation is for the sake of betterment.

Either produce results or save effort.

There is actually nothing wrong with this idea. The problem is that when it comes to cooperation, Li Yan can't stand any operation that is not as good as his.

In his opinion, if the purpose is to achieve better results, but the people he cooperates with are not as good as him, it will only hinder the results in the end.

That means that there is only one reason to continue the cooperation at this time - to save trouble.

He believes that everyone should have this idea, so the person with the highest level of skills will ensure the quality, and those who are not as good as him will just help out.

But obviously, his level and prestige before his rebirth were not enough to make everyone willing to help him.

Everyone wants to find a sense of existence and improve their grades, so the atmosphere in the group with Li Yan is not very good.

Either he takes the lead and then has to work overtime to revise the content that others have not done as well as he has, and in the end the group assignment becomes a more burdensome version of the individual assignment - he will still keep the content that he is not familiar with or obviously good enough at.

Or he would just give up, marginalize himself, and refuse to acknowledge that this "team work" was his creative product.

Then the matter of "cooperating with Li Yan" has the "dual nature of rolling and swinging".

Either he kills all the team members and becomes a one-man army, or he just starts to act as a high-level fighter.

Of course, everything is based on his initial sufficient professional and technical level.

It’s just that the team members who cooperate with him often fail to see the part that Li Yan affirms, but they are quite dissatisfied with the fact that he has improved his own work.

They thought that Li Yan was too proud and looked down on their work.

Of course I look down on you!

Do I have to swallow shit if you feed it to me?
Then he became the big nemesis in the group work, and he was happy to handle everything by himself.

But he would feel sad on some late nights when he was not understood.

The purpose of cooperation is to create better things, so why do we have to deal with so many social conventions?
Later, during his internship, he understood that the more work you do, the more mistakes you make; taking the lead means responsibility; and in teamwork in the workplace, interpersonal skills are far more important than "better output."

The reason is that the starting points are different.

Li Yan has always just wanted to do "what she wants to do", and most of the time her interests do not overlap with those of others.

In her previous life, Li Yan did not have much freedom to choose.

A group assignment is just a group assignment. You want to do a good job, but I want to report to you, which can really become a contradiction.

"If you want to find value so badly, go find something to do yourself!"

I can still vividly remember the angry rebuke of a team member after he rejected him.

What a vivid memory.

Thinking of this, the steaming mutton was served.

As the name suggests, this dish is meant to be eaten with your hands.

Li Yan grabbed a rib, dipped it in raw garlic soy sauce, picked up the garlic slices with the other hand, took a bite of the meat first, and then threw the garlic slices into his mouth.

The gravy fills the mouth, the spicy feeling is buffered a lot, and the taste is really strong.

Collaborative mines and the like, that’s all from the past life.

Li Yan now has an all-round system and is a true hexagonal warrior.

His fame and prestige are also rising steadily.

What about not understanding the ways of the world when it comes to cooperation... No need to change!

As long as I am the best in every aspect, cooperation is just a name. The essence is how all parties can meet Li Yan's requirements.

If you can satisfy me, cooperate. If you can't satisfy me, get lost.

End of reflection.

Please note that reflection is just a review, and it does not mean to reach the conclusion that "what I did was indeed inappropriate."

In the end, you feel that "I am always right and everyone else is an idiot", which is also called reflection.

I examine myself three times a day. I am right, I am not wrong, and I am the best in the world.

I want the right to speak, the sense of existence, and the freedom.

Thinking of this, Li Yan ate the mutton with his hands with a sense of heroism.

The National Day ended with Li Yan traveling around. Although it was called traveling, it was actually just visiting tourist attractions in various districts of New Taipei City.

He regretted it after watching it, and his mind was filled with the impression of crowds of people.

It would be better to visit other cities, such as Xin'an next door, and continue writing the city cognition series - Su Siqing is looking forward to it, and sent Li Yan a lot of precious old materials. Li Yan's call to Su Siqing "Teacher Su" couldn't be more sincere.

The National Day is over, and the 403 gods have returned. The first reaction is to see what Li Yan has done secretly.

"How can you say something like 'I took a vacation'?"

Lin Heng fully expressed his distrust.

"I really didn't do anything. I just slightly modified the painting. The only thing I really did was to visit the New Taipei attractions. It's not a good memory."

"Why? Because you're not with senior?"

"Maybe I'll be happier if I talk to her."

The straight ball is indeed invincible. Faced with such a direct statement, other people can no longer get excited.

After dinner, everyone thought that Li Yan, who was resting, would go to night self-study with them.

The outrageous equation that night study equals relaxation and rest also applies to Li Yan.

Then they were rejected by Li Yan: "Master asked me to talk about the auction."

Everyone with schoolbags on their backs stared blankly at Li Yan walking towards the school gate. Lin Heng came back to his senses: "I changed the painting a little bit. It was originally about going to an auction..."

"Hello, Master!" As soon as Li Yan walked into the door of Mu Sheng Research Institute, he saw Yang Chengzhang who was making tea.

"Very good, very energetic."

"After a few days of rest, I do feel good." Li Yan stood beside the tea table without sitting down.

"It's like you haven't rested as usual. Sit down and have some tea."

"I don't like tea."

Yang Chengzhang laughed twice. He looked very energetic and it seemed that he had a very enjoyable trip.

"Okay, you're too young, so don't drink too much tea." Yang Chengzhang pointed to the seat, "Sit down."

Only then did Li Yan sit down.

"I think the painting is finished." Yang Chengzhang asked.

"The painting is finished."

"The temperament of this painting is different." Yang Chengzhang drank a cup of tea by himself. "I don't have any more opinions. In terms of quality alone, it is good enough to be put on the auction. Name?"

“The Blue Peacock.”

"No..." Yang Chengzhang waved his hands repeatedly, "Her name."

"...Wei Yunzhi."

"It's a good name." Yang Chengzhang pushed a cup of tea towards Li Yan. "Are you sure you want to write your own name?"

"determine."

"I'm not going to push you to the front right now. So I won't come out and tell everyone that you are my apprentice."

"I know, Master, you told me before."

Yang Chengzhang slowly finished a cup of tea and pondered for a while, "This also means that the only one who endorses you at the auction this time is Red Dragon. People will speculate who you might be the apprentice of, but that's all."

"I see."

"Your biggest selling point is the painting itself."

"That's perfect." Li Yan was very confident.

Yang Chengzhang tapped the coffee table for a long time, "So how are you going to sign your name?"

"Write the letter Y."

This was beyond Yang Chengzhang's expectation. "Why? You didn't even write your real name?"

"To see what this painting itself can accomplish."

Yang Chengzhang was a little unresponsive at first. He meant that the name of his beloved disciple could be a trademark?

He has always been immersed in the world of painting, and other information is a bit lagging behind, so he cannot fully understand Li Yan's current influence.

On the contrary, Yang Chengzhang's son often mentioned Li Yan at his own family dinner table and asked Xiao Xiao Yang to take him as his target...

"Don't blame me for spoiling your fun. I have to give you a heads-up, Li Yan." Yang Chengzhang's expression became serious. "The first factor in a painting auction is profit and value. There will be art appreciation, and there will be people who pay for their personal aesthetic taste, but they are a minority after all. Your painting itself is of very good quality, but it is highly likely that no one will be interested in it in the end."

He patted Li Yan's shoulder earnestly and said, "I'm worried that your confidence will be frustrated, but painters should not doubt themselves. I'm afraid that you are not smart enough and regard this as a Waterloo!"

"No." Li Yan also shook her head seriously, "This painting is for myself."

Yang Chengzhang raised an eyebrow.

"I sent it to the auction just to see what collectors' tastes were like. If someone paid a lot of money to buy it, I'd have found a soulmate. If no one buys it, I'd be happy to keep it for myself, because that would mean..."

"Ok?"

“They have bad taste.”
