Chapter 390 Unity of knowledge and action?

The dispute that just happened in the cafe caused some ripples and bursts of whispers.

Xu Mingyuan is a celebrity in the academy, as is Su Muqing, and even more so Qin Man who left.

The only one who didn’t look familiar was Xiao Yangzhi who followed Xu Mingyuan.

Although Yang Zhi, who had sharp eyes and sharp ears, could not hear what others were saying, he could always hear Xu Mingyuan's name in the fragments of conversation.

He also noticed that from time to time, some eyes were looking at him, but more were looking at Xu Mingyuan and Su Muqing.

After graduating from high school, there are no school rules and regulations to govern hairstyles.

It was hot when she went out, so Yang Zhi tied her hair into a ponytail again.

Unfortunately, the thick bangs I had in junior high school were not allowed to be let down in high school. I hadn't taken care of them for two years, and they had already grown to the point of hanging down to my chin.

Yang Zhi didn't understand why her brother didn't let her trim her bangs again. He insisted that it would look better if it looked more natural. But isn't it popular to have bangs straight across the face now?

But Yang Zhi didn't hesitate. Since he said it looked good, then it looked good.

Otherwise, you can cover your forehead so that half of your face won’t be visible.

In fact, it’s not that bad to have side bangs, as they can barely cover half of the face and just enough so that no one can see you when you’re sitting in a cafe.

Yang Zhi, who was sitting against the wall, didn't understand why her brother could sit here and chat calmly after just having an argument with someone else.

Su Muqing on the opposite side is even worse. All the girls she had an unclear relationship with have run away, so why can she still sit still?

If this happened to me, how could I dare to sit here and let others watch? I'm afraid I would have disappeared without a trace.

Fortunately, my brother placed himself against the wall and attracted most of the attention, otherwise I would have been very uncomfortable.

Under so many eyes, Yang Zhi didn't feel comfortable peeling pistachios for Xu Mingyuan to eat. Instead, he peeled a bunch of shells and shared the kernels among himself.

Taking the nuts handed to him by Xu Mingyuan, Yang Zhi gently put them into his mouth and chewed them with his mouth closed like a little hamster, feeling a guilty conscience.

Xu Mingyuan, who had cooled down enough in the air-conditioned room, became a little impatient as he looked at Su Muqing who had been in deep thought for a long time.

Just as he was about to get up and leave, Su Muqing finally spoke.

"I don't understand. I'm not the only one who wants to be promoted to deputy manager. There are also several excellent people who come from better-off families than me, but they don't have much power either. Why do you think that everyone is targeting me?" Su Muqing asked, raising her head.

In fact, Su Muqing thought about it for a long time and didn’t think that anyone was setting a trap for her.

DeRui Assets itself was created by a group of people who knew each other well. Those who had money contributed money, and those who had strength contributed strength.

Like myself and those kids from wealthy families, we have lived under the shadow of our elders since childhood. The achievements of our parents are like an insurmountable mountain, always looming over the children's heads.

We all get together to make a difference.

Su Muqing felt it was ridiculous to hear Xu Mingyuan say that it was for money. The problem was that none of the decision-makers were short of money, and everyone just discussed it together.

Even if one person wanted to trick her, Su Muqing would be prepared. Did everyone agree? Then why exclude him directly?
Just ridiculous.

It's not like Su Muqing hasn't said these things to Xu Mingyuan before. She's even tired of calling him, but he keeps repeating the same frivolous and unspeakable words: "You'd better take care of yourself."

Su Muqing was almost vomiting blood.

But what inside information did Xu Mingyuan have?
This is purely speculation based on Su Muqing's later experiences.

What else can he do if he doesn't make his words ambiguous? Xu Mingyuan didn't know what happened exactly, he was not a god.

And this silly Su Muqing just keeps asking questions all day long.

If you believe it, it exists. If you don’t believe it, it doesn’t exist. Xu Mingyuan can’t give you any certainty.

If Xu Mingyuan were to come back to this world, it would be just a piece of cake for him to help others occasionally.

It's more of a malicious desire in my heart, wanting to change history and see what changes will happen in the future.

"It's actually very simple. Do you know what kind of person you are?"

Xu Mingyuan acted mysterious for a long time and then asked Su Muqing back.

"Me? Huh? Isn't the question you asked too broad?"

Every time Su Muqing listened to Xu Mingyuan talking, she felt a little toothache.

Am I a good person? A bad person? An ordinary person with some money?

Or someone who is pretty good looking?

Su Muqing held her chin and twisted her face, not knowing how to answer.

"You are too principled and take principles too seriously." Xu Mingyuan said while sipping watermelon juice.

If Xu Mingyuan was holding a cup of tea in his hand now, it would definitely enhance his aura.

Unfortunately, there is a sense of frivolity in the coffee shop with petty bourgeois decoration style.

"I have principles, isn't that good?" Su Muqing asked in confusion.

"Of course. Being principled means having a bottom line and not doing anything out of line easily." Xu Mingyuan said calmly.

"Yes, then why do you think I can't keep my bottom line?"

Su Muqing was even more puzzled.

If you know this, why do you keep bringing it up?
"But there is another point about you, which is that you are too career-oriented. This is your true principle. Everything else can give way to your career. Do you understand now?"

Xu Mingyuan stared into her eyes, saw her lowering her head in thought, and nodded with satisfaction.

"Am I such a person?"

Su Muqing opened her eyes wide in disbelief and asked word by word.

Seeing that she seemed a little fooled, Xu Mingyuan couldn't help but laugh.

Seeing the growing suspicion on Su Muqing's face, Xu Mingyuan coughed lightly and said calmly, "It is precisely because of this that I think something bad will happen to you."

"Why?" Su Muqing asked in a daze.

"Isn't this simple? What good can come out of you guys getting together?"

This is such a simple and easy to understand truth. Is Su Muqing simply confused by the situation or is she really stupid?

"But we have a lot of resources." Su Muqing said. Xu Mingyuan sneered and said, "You know nothing. Finance makes money too quickly, and there are always faster ways. The biggest shortcoming of rich people is that they always think the numbers in their bank accounts are increasing too slowly."

"The worst thing is that the past two years have been a bull market, and it will continue for a long time. No one can resist the temptation to get in. I believe you can resist, but even I can't, let alone those of you."

"Don't worry, it won't be long before you're put in a position of power. Everyone is forcing you to quit. Can you quit? No, you can only stick to your career ambition. This is also the most fatal point for you. The more you work, the more blame you will bear. In the end, when your good deeds are exposed and the parents come to clean up your mess, they will see that you, a fool, have done the most work, and you will have to be pushed out."

Xu Mingyuan sighed and shook his head, not knowing whether Su Muqing had heard it or not.

Thinking back to when Xu Mingyuan was just starting out, he was very daring and bold in thinking and doing. If it weren't for the old man who was there to clean up his mess, he would have been beaten to death on the beach by the waves. How could he have the capital to brag?
Especially when a group of people of similar age get together, they can come up with so many clever ideas, and Xu Mingyuan has a deep understanding of them.

Therefore, Xu Mingyuan couldn’t count on one hand all the second-generation friends he had close relationships with, but now he didn’t want to get to know them again because he knew too well what kind of people they were.

After learning about what Su Muqing had done, Xu Mingyuan finally understood how she became a broker.

Su Muqing can take on such a big blame, who wouldn't give her some face?

People who do things well are generally worthy of respect, not to mention that she is a woman.

"Hmm..." Su Muqing hesitated for a moment, stared at Xu Mingyuan and asked, "You said you couldn't help it, but why don't you invest the cash on hand in the capital market? You have never lost money in the stock market, so your investment must be good."

Xu Mingyuan is almost regarded as a god in the company.

Su Muqing didn't believe it at first, but she found out from the finance department that Xu Mingyuan's personal account had increased several times since 2003.

I have never lost any money, it's really amazing.

"Me? No time." Xu Mingyuan said casually.

"Do not have time?"

Su Muqing tapped the tabletop lightly with her fingers, clearly not believing the explanation.

"I want to take a rest too, okay? Life is short, so we should enjoy it while we can." Xu Mingyuan said.

"I've seen many people who live for the moment, but you are not like them." Su Muqing said with a chuckle.

“That’s because the fun we pursue is different.”

"I understand. Thank you for saying this for me." Su Muqing said with a smile.

"What do you unserstand?"

Xu Mingyuan was stunned. He really didn't understand what Su Muqing meant.

"I'll think about it carefully, thank you." Su Muqing thanked again.

A smart person doesn't need to say much. Su Muqing understood that Xu Mingyuan said these words just to get herself out of the trouble as soon as possible.

It seemed that he still recognized her as a friend, and Su Muqing felt a lot more relaxed.

"You're welcome. Can we help each other?"

Xu Mingyuan waved his hand casually.

"Huh..." Su Muqing let out a long sigh and said with a smile: "Xu Mingyuan, you are the only person I have met in my 23 years of life who can achieve unity of knowledge and action. I am sure that in another 23 years, I will not meet someone like you again."

He is young and rich, but he doesn't love money. He has a lot of talent, but he doesn't show it.

Only those who have truly worked in a career will understand how difficult this road is.

But in front of Xu Mingyuan, everything seemed to be smooth sailing.

His nonchalant attitude towards everything is probably just a disguise.

Maybe geniuses are all lonely, and Xu Mingyuan must have felt difficult and tired in his heart, but he came out of it. He did not speak out his unspeakable feelings, but kept them in his heart forever and appeared relaxed to the outside world.

Perhaps the reason why Xu Mingyuan chose Tao Shuxin was simply because he was attracted by her innocence and romance.

And it is this innocence that is what he lacks most.

Of course Xu Mingyuan didn't know the character portrait that Su Muqing had drawn for him, but when he heard her say that she had achieved the 'unity of knowledge and action', he was stunned on the spot.

"Unity of knowledge and action? Good fellow! You think too highly of me, tsk tsk tsk tsk ..."

Xu Mingyuan touched his chin and smacked his lips. This realm was too high. He was just an ordinary man and it would be difficult for him to achieve the unity of knowledge and action in his lifetime.

Deceiving Xiao Taotao and bullying Xiao Yangzhi every day, can this be considered as unity of knowledge and action? I'm afraid the philosophy teacher will jump up and beat me...

"Mingyuan, being too modest is arrogance, which is not a good thing."

Su Muqing blinked playfully, and the teardrop mole at the corner of her eye jumped up and down, attracting attention, like a small satellite circling around her eyes.

"You're right! Hahaha..."

Xu Mingyuan couldn't help laughing out loud on the spot.

It feels good to be flattered by others, especially when Su Muqing is bragging seriously.

"Sorry, I have to go first. I have to go see how Xiaoman is doing. I wanted to treat you two to dinner, but you wouldn't agree. So goodbye now."

Su Muqing waved her hand, did not stay, and went to pay the bill.

Xu Mingyuan had had enough of the air conditioning and continued to take Xiao Yangzhi for a stroll.

"Brother, what is the unity of knowledge and action?" Yang Zhi suddenly asked.

"Ah? This..." Xu Mingyuan scratched his head and said to Xiao Yangzhi as simply as possible: "Real 'understanding' must be able to be implemented in actual actions, otherwise it is not truly understood."

"Hmm? What does this mean?"

Yang Zhi also scratched her head, feeling that what her brother said was confusing. She had a slow mind to begin with, so now she was even more confused.

"Hey, they'll teach you about this in college courses, you can ask the teacher when the time comes."

Xu Mingyuan quickly sent Xiao Yangzhi away.

This little girl is always asking a million whys. It gives me a headache to talk about philosophy. I should go for a walk and count the balls...

"Oh……"

Yang Zhi shook her head, let her bangs fall on her face, and continued to stroll around aimlessly with her head down and the arm of Xu Mingyuan.

Since my brother is embarrassed to accept the praise of "unity of knowledge and action", but the girl named Su Muqing still insists on saying it, then my brother must be a better person than I imagined...
