this man is not calm

Chapter 409 Like each other
The development of Jinxi Culture and its related companies is almost closely related to Jin Shang's own decisions. No one knows how to use the emerging technology of the Internet. There are young entrepreneurs studying plagiarism everywhere at home and abroad. Most of them are not successful, but there are also a few small companies that are more or less vibrant.

Through repeated splits and reorganizations, Jin Shang has roughly completed the restructuring of the company, but its control has also become less stable. For example, after the listed companies CSSC Electromechanical and Jinxi Video were listed and became public companies, they had to accept supervision from multiple parties and were no longer the sole decision-makers of Jin Shang.

Even if there are ways to control it secretly, the procedures on the surface still have to be formal, and this gives those "barbarians with an eye on the greedy" the opportunity to take action.

If Jinxi Culture's various businesses are to grow and develop in the future, it will have to introduce strategic investors and even go public. The external shocks it will face will become increasingly greater. It would be terrible if something went wrong in such a crucial decision as marriage.

In his previous life, Jin Shang had seen too many negative examples where the direction of the entire group company was affected due to the personal problems of the actual controller.

Zhang Yunying listened very carefully to the advice of his two cousins.

"It seems very troublesome. I still need to learn more professional knowledge."

"Knowledge is important, but cultivating one's character and tempering one's will are more important. In addition, everyone's situation is different, and the way of dealing with public and private matters will also be different. For example, situations like mine and Li Xuan are actually quite rare."

The character of Zhang's cousin is probably that of a nouveau riche who just came out of a small place. He still retains a very naive simplicity. He is not a bad person and has some abilities, but he lacks insight and calmness. He needs more time to train himself before he can become a good young man who can stand on his own.

It was probably only in recent years that Zhang Yunying realized that his family was a wealthy family with some assets. Although he had never been poor or hungry as a child, he had also suffered more or less. He went out with his father in the wind and snow in the winter, taking the sheepdog to look for lost sheep. He was eager to arrange the plowing and compressing of green manure before the snow melted, and pushed a cart to transport silage when he was too busy.

But my younger brothers and sisters did not have such an experience. When they grew up and had a little strength, the family's financial situation had improved a lot and they could hire people to do the troublesome and heavy physical work.

Apart from him, there are several brothers and sisters, and probably no one is willing to work hard in agriculture and animal husbandry.

Zhang Yu is determined to become a star and wants to develop in the big city. His two younger brothers and sisters are well protected by their parents and older siblings. They appear to be smart, a little naive, and a little silly, but it seems that we can't expect too much from them at the moment.

"Ashan, do you think... is it possible for me to fall in love freely and find my future wife?"

"Of course, it's fate, it's hard to tell. Li Xuan and I didn't have any romantic feelings at the beginning, and our first impression was even a little bad, but we got along for a long time and gradually got together. You... listen to your aunt's advice more, but don't listen to everything. You have to have your own persistence and opinions."

Zhang Yunying is not a mama's boy. It is not surprising that he seems a little weak under the long-term suppression of his strong mother. As long as human nature is tenacious and unyielding and able to take responsibility when encountering problems, it will be fine.

In the past two years, Second Aunt has also contacted many people, and she has also personally met some promising ones, but unfortunately, they all have their own problems, and Zhang Yunying himself is not particularly cooperative, so there has been no progress.

Even Wei Shuangping, who was under the company, was investigated privately. It was found that she was a good person, but there might be hidden dangers that had not been exposed due to the burden she brought with her. In the end, the matter was left unresolved.

Jin Shang also knew that she had participated in blind date and dating activities within the company, registered an account online, and even made moves outside, but the results seemed less than ideal.

As a boss, Jin Shang would not care about his employees' personal problems. From an entrepreneur's standpoint, he would like all his employees to be like machines without private lives, but he cannot accept such a thing personally.

To put it bluntly, Jin Shang's thinking is not completely typical of capital and he is not ruthless enough.

The three of them chatted and laughed, especially Zhang Yunying, who had a lot of feelings about what he had seen and heard over the past year:

"I used to think that those wealthy young men and dandies either spent their days in debauchery and debauchery, or worked hard to study and improve themselves, and carry forward their family business. After dealing with you for a long time, I found that there is a big difference. You are not as bad as the villains in TV dramas, but you are not pure and unselfish either. You still like to play, but you are not as hardworking as the Phoenix men who are obsessed with progress and seek success by any means. You live an ordinary life every day, neither hurriedly nor slowly, and enjoy your current life. Work... is also a part of life."

"Those extreme cases you mentioned do exist, but they tend to cause trouble and are more high-profile. Our daily social circles are quite different from the general public, and we are not interested in showing off our wealth to feel superior..."

Mei Wenhui smiled and said modestly,
"It's just because they have more material conditions, have seen more, and their spiritual world is not barren, so they can generally control their unruly thoughts and extreme emotions..."

"Due to my upbringing and experience, I have a relatively calm personality."

Jin Shang added without missing a beat,

"Observe calmly, judge rationally, and finally draw conclusions. Manage your life well and don't make a mess of it. It's obviously not worth it to act emotionally in the company or to mix too many shady personal affairs into your career."

"Ah... yes! Speaking of which, A Shang also has an entertainment company with many handsome men and beautiful women..."

That's a world of fame and fortune. As long as a big boss like Jin Shang shows off a little bit of his wealth, there will be countless beautiful women scrambling to get around him, without even any need for a hook.

Waving his hand to stop Zhang Yunying from continuing, Jin Shang sighed and said:

"In fact, the most critical factor is that there are too many resources and too many 'games' to play. The common people who work hard every day, the small bosses with a little wealth, the landlords, and the local tyrants, even if they use their own advantages to the extreme, they can only show a little sense of superiority in front of the people who are worse off than them to satisfy their shallow selfish desires. When they move up to a higher level, those things... are within their reach, and they are not so keen on them. Isn't it more interesting to be able to reach out and touch the competition at a higher level?"

To cultivate oneself and bring peace to the world, the most romantic thing for a man is to conquer the world, even if it is just a small fragment, it is intoxicating. How much can you achieve by messing around in the enterprise that carries your dreams? The hobby of "stamp collecting" is a false appeal that cannot be achieved. A real man must shock the world and be remembered by history.

"Well, I'm not very good at studying, but I still remember the saying 'When the granaries are full, people know etiquette; when they have enough food and clothing, they know honor and disgrace.'"

All in all, what Mei Wenhui and Jin Shang said means the same thing, that when one reaches a certain level of wealth and status, people with a little bit of self-cultivation should realize that the desire for food, the things in the crotch, the useless and inexplicable sense of superiority and the like are actually too shallow and meaningless, and one has to find some more interesting "games" to play, otherwise, the rest of one's life will be a waste and not worth it.

On the other side, a few half-grown children, with their younger brothers and sisters, were picking up shells, digging sand castles, and catching crabs. Mei Fengchun, Li Xuan and others, were leisurely enjoying the sunset under the parasols set up nearby, and chatting about harmless trivialities.

Li Xuan, who is a little older, is not very good at socializing, but she still knows how to lead the topic when she meets girls of the same age. Mei Fengchun is not very good at it either, or he is not very keen on socializing and is more casual. Fang Hua is more casual and calm. He always has a warm smile on his face and interrupts from time to time to keep the topic, which has no connotation, going.

The youngest, Zhang Yu, was obviously much more outgoing. Although he was not particularly familiar with Li Xuan, and was not particularly close to Mei Fengchun and Fang Hua from the same team, they could get along well. It was just that he was too young and eager to try, and he didn't know how to get involved in the seemingly mature but actually nonsense chat between the "young ladies".

When a few girls get together and chat a lot, they naturally talk about men. In this regard, Li Xuan is obviously more experienced and knows more, so she has become the main force of "explanation".

"How do you meet a boyfriend that suits your heart? I don't know. It's probably fate and luck, plus a little bit of smartness and patience. My experience may not be representative. If I say too much, it will mislead you. But..."

After a pause, Li Xuan calmly said to the others,

"No matter how close or passionate the relationship is, we must grasp the boundaries between each other and leave enough buffer zones. We should not easily test the areas that the other party does not want to be touched. Treat each other with respect and treat each other with dignity is not only a symbolic statement, but also has practical significance."

These words made Zhang Yu, who was somewhat puzzled, ask doubtfully:
"But, if a man and a woman are in love, shouldn't they face everything together without any distinction? Why should there be any reservations?"

"The more intense the love, the more we need to know when to stop. 'To love too much is to spend a lot; to store too much is to lose a lot. So if you know how to be content, you won't be humiliated; if you know when to stop, you won't be in danger, and you can live long.' People are greedy creatures. Don't overestimate your rationality. Managing feelings is not a momentary impulse, but a lifelong commitment..."

"That……"

Zhang Wu rolled his eyes and asked mischievously,
"Who pursued whom between you and A Shang? Who was more proactive?"

"Well, it's hard to say. At that time, he was the lead singer of a well-known campus band, and I was just a passerby. So we knew each other quite early, but we didn't really start dating until later. From the time he wrote me a letter and a poem to the time he agreed to date me, it was only about three months, excluding the winter vacation..."

"So fast? I always hear that other people's long-term relationships last for many years. Isn't your relationship too fast?"

Li Xuan smiled reservedly and shook her head slightly:
"If you feel you are compatible, take the initiative to contact the person. If you are not disgusted, try to get to know the person better. If it is not suitable, just reject the person. Don't give people the wrong signal. I hate sayings like 'Sincerity can move mountains and break rocks' and 'A strong woman is afraid of a clinging man'. There should be a limit to harassment. If you don't know the limits and don't know the distance between you and the person, it is very rude."

Mei Fengchun couldn't help but say:

"This idea is similar to Ah Shang's. He has been a very independent and proactive person since he was a child. It's just that he is not interested in many things in the outside world, so he seems a little alienated and lazy. If he doesn't like something, he will stay away from it. If he is interested, he will take the initiative to contact it. His actions are decisive and gentlemanly. So, fate still exists. I once thought that the little cousin was not interested in girls, developed too late, and his feelings of admiration for young girls were too weak. Unexpectedly, when the time was right, he was really quick to act."

The fact is, Master Jin, whose body grew up normally but whose mind was relatively mature, looked at the little girl of the same age as a bean sprout with the mentality of a loving father caring for his children, or someone who would stay away from naughty kids. How could he have such strange ideas?

"Take action or something..."

Li Xuan smiled inwardly, not knowing whether to call the girl in front of her "sister" or "sister". Freshly graduated college students have a delicate mentality, especially Zhang Yu. Not only is she young, but she is also preparing to upgrade from a junior college to a university. She is just a kid who has half a foot in society.

"Nowadays, there are many different ideas, especially the flattery of girls, which is a bit too much. Everyone should stick to themselves and not be misled by some inexplicable bad people. Read more books, study hard, live a good life, respect yourself, respect others, and have more empathy."

"Love should know when to stop, know it, know it!"

Zhang Yu nodded nonchalantly, then took out her digital camera and enthusiastically put her arms around the arms of several sisters to take selfies, shouting that she would post them on her blog along with the vacation photos so that those who followed her would envy her.

When it comes to showing off, Zhang Yu is the most enthusiastic. With her extroverted personality, she is indeed more suitable for the entertainment industry than the lazy Li Xuan, the shy Mei Fengchun, and the non-competitive and very steady Fang Hua.

This is not to say that she is vain, she just likes the glamorous look under the spotlight. Zhang Wu, who grew up on the northern prairie, prefers this kind of life that is different from the past.

"Let's not talk about that. We've also been shortlisted for this year's awards season! By the way, Ashang's magazine has also held a music award. Tell me...why does he like to hold competitions and awards? Not only does he have essay competitions, but he also has book and novel awards, sports and football awards, film awards, TV drama awards, music awards, and everything else. Even if there's no fanfare, he still keeps holding them, wasting so much money..."

"Take your time. There's no rush. The authority of an award is not established in a short period of time. As far as I know, the essay competition, the foreign language oral poetry recitation competition, and the Golden Globe Awards have already made some progress. In fact, some people recognize the music award. The others are far behind..."

As for the domestic and Chinese-speaking regions, we have no intention of colluding with foreigners and will mainly serve domestic consumers of cultural products.

The company's management actually didn't make any requirements; it was the people below who took the initiative to apply. Jin Shang felt that it wouldn't cost much money now, so he just went ahead and did it. Maybe one or two of them could make it out of the "fake awards", and that would be a big win.
