Eveni obviously doesn't know much about Chinese culture. She has never heard of Wu Zetian.
"I'm sorry, I haven't heard of the character you mentioned, but I will look up the Wu Zetian you mentioned when I get back." Yvonne said with an apologetic look on her horse.
"It's nothing, just like I don't know much about many historical figures in Europe and America. Let me tell you about this legendary emperor." Zhao Mingyang said.
"Emperor?" Eveni looked shocked. How could this be possible? This was different from her understanding of China.
Zhao Mingyang was too lazy to popularize Chinese knowledge with her. He was only responsible for telling Eveni about Wu Zetian. It only took about fifteen minutes to let her know about this person, what he had done, and why he wanted to tell this story.
Zhao Mingyang's talk was very simple and direct. The first five minutes talked about Wu Zetian's life experience, the middle five minutes talked about some of her experiences after entering the palace, and the last five minutes talked about some of the reforms she made after becoming the empress, including many of the current Western systems.
There are also some practices that are closely related to this matter, because the prosperous Tang Dynasty at that time basically affected the entire world.
If you look for the current microcosm of some systems in the prosperous period of the Tang Dynasty, you will definitely find them, such as the imperial examination system. Eveni did not listen to these at all. Her focus was on what Zhao Mingyang said about Wu Zetian: dragon, phoenix, dragon and phoenix, why
Can only the dragon be in front? Not the phoenix?
Why can't women be the emperor? Under such a system, Wu Zetian can be the emperor, why can't I, Yvonne, under such a simple model?
Wu Zetian is really powerful. She is much more powerful than the so-called royal family and the female prime minister. She is truly a nine-five-year-old. She can come out in that hell difficulty mode. After she decides to go back
Let’s study Wu Meiniang and Wu Zetian to understand Chinese culture.
Eveni, who grew up here, basically studied modern European and American history. She basically knew very little about Eastern culture. Not only Eveni, it should be said that the entire West did not know much about the East.
But what Zhao Mingyang said got to Eveni's heart. She wanted power and fame. She had great ambitions, but she never had the chance.
"Miss Yvonne, do you know? The moment I saw your eyes, in addition to seeing your hunger, I also saw a kind of calling of the same kind.
We all long for more things, we just don’t want to be bound by fate or defined by others. I want to be a brand, a brand that is not bound, and you have what I am looking for.
I like your ambition, you know? You are unique in my eyes. I looked at hundreds of candidates, some of them passed by at a glance, and most of them were directly rejected by me.
And you, you are the one I went back to watch after watching it, because your unique temperament made me feel that you are different from those people, they are all the same, but you have a soul and are unique, which they cannot compete with.
You compared it.
Maybe you haven't noticed the difference between you and them. They have the same figure and appearance as you, but they seem to be walking skins, soulless bodies, all the same without any highlights.
People often talk about the soul. What exactly is the soul? The soul I understand is an independent personality. A person with a firm will, independent thinking, and a clear goal has a soul..."
Zhao Mingyang frantically pumped out compliments that lasted for more than ten minutes. In fact, no one dislikes being flattered, and most people can't get enough of it. As the saying goes, flattering and flattering are the key to the ability of the other party.
Acceptable range.
For example, if a person knows a little about calligraphy, if you praise him for it, he will be happy, and the recognition will satisfy his vanity. However, if you praise him for being a mathematical genius, it will be irrelevant and the picture will be wrong.
Yvonne has always distinguished herself from the group of models who only have looks. She always thinks that she is a noble. However, she also feels that the wealthy people of the nobles are not as smart as her, so she is actually very similar to her father in her heart.
Others know better and understand everything.
Zhao Mingyang just wants to trap Eveni. This girl is still young and has little energy, but she will have great energy in the next few years. At least in two to three years, Zhao Mingyang can get a lot of value from her.
She belongs to a family marriage, and her husband's family is as wealthy as theirs.
However, businessmen with only a billion or several billion dollars can only be regarded as rich people in the United States, and there is a huge gap between them and those old-line chaebols. Otherwise, she would definitely prefer the marriage of those big families, such as Morgan, Rockefick, Mars, etc.
Wharton and other big families got married.
But these families don't look down on ordinary families like Yvonne's family at all. Yes, Yvonne's family has more than one billion US dollars. In the eyes of these big families, they are ordinary families, and can even be said to be nouveau riche.
Because Yvonne's grandfather is not a rich man, nor is his grandfather. Only his father's generation has made the family truly wealthy, and these riches are not looked down upon by those big families. They have been rich for five or six generations.
, and Eveni and her family have only truly become rich for a generation.
Yvonne wanted to be a member of such a big family and wanted to socialize with them, but since she was a child, she had never interacted with them at all. She also wanted to be a daughter who was looked up to by thousands of people, and her father also wanted to
Becoming a being that thousands of people look up to, both father and daughter are trying every means to strengthen their family and want to turn their family into a century-old family.
But this was too difficult. Her father had been thinking of various ways to try to get Eveni to marry into a well-matched family. He just wanted to help each other and become bigger and stronger.
But, things are more difficult than they imagined. They can only keep socializing and making new connections.
Obviously, Zhao Mingyang meets Eveni's requirements, and she wants to try to see how much energy Zhao Mingyang has.
"Mr. Zhao, thank you for your compliment. I am not as good as you said. What kind of industry is Mr. Zhao mainly engaged in? Is it mainly clothing?" Eveni said.
"No, clothing is an area of investment for me. The areas I invest in are quite complex. It's hard to say which industry it is in. For example, I also do real estate, entertainment, technology, and automobiles. My cars
The brand will soon be unveiled in Times Square here.
When I make friends, I never look at who the other person is. I only look at someone who is dignified and ambitious. I am not afraid of the other person’s ambition. I am only afraid of the other person’s comfort. I think the most terrifying thing in the world is comfort, because after we die, we will always be at ease.
.
In our limited vitality, we have to create value. What is value? We have to leave our names in the history books and link our names to the times, instead of just holding the history books to tell our descendants.
Other people's stories.
Why don't we let others interview our descendants about our stories?" Zhao Mingyang began to feed the most delicious chicken soup for the soul to Eveni. After drinking the chicken soup that night, he couldn't believe that she was not drunk.
As Zhao Mingyang said, Eveni was first flattered by Zhao Mingyang for more than ten minutes, and then fed chicken soup for more than ten minutes. Now she is really getting a little carried away. What Zhao Mingyang wants is for this girl to reveal her ambitions, not
Hiding it would take time, and she would have a lot of thoughts. It would be better to tell her directly so that she can't say anything else.
"Then do you want me to be a model? Or invest in me?" Eveni looked at Zhao Mingyang while riding a horse and asked.
"You are smart, and you can see my intention right away. I have learned fortune-telling, and you can learn about it. It is similar to the divination you are talking about here, or a prophet. I have always been very accurate in reading people.
I know you may not believe it, but time will prove that I didn't lie to you, and you can also prove to me that I didn't misjudge the person, right, Ms. Eveni." Zhao Mingyang said, at this time Zhao Mingyang was claiming to be a technology
The country is also a country of theology. People here believe in the existence of God. Is this considered feudal superstition?
There are too many people in the United States who believe in gods. What is the biggest difference between the gods in our country and the gods in the West?
The gods here have many holidays and their work is easy. For example, Santa Claus only works one day a year. There are other gods. If the wish does not work, then the person who made the wish must first find his own problem and self-examine whether he is not enough.
Sincerely, did you do something wrong and you need to correct it?
And the gods here are really open all year round. When people think of it, they go to worship them. For example, when it’s time to take an exam, they first go to worship Wenquxing.
If you give up, move on to the next family and continue worshiping.
Some people can even go to the Dragon King Temple to pray for rain. If it doesn’t rain, the Dragon King Temple will be bombed. You say it’s a pitfall. If you beg me, I have to agree, or if I don’t agree, I will bomb it? KPIs are given every day, so many tasks, begging is over.
It's like it's over. I don't understand the job of the gods, so I give bad reviews. For example, if I go to the God of Martial Arts for the literary test, I blame the God of Martial Arts if I don't do well.
So many of the gods here have stopped being gods, and have given up their iron rice bowl. Heaven is afraid that there will be no more gods, so it directly blocks the gates of heaven. You can’t see the gods coming down to earth, because the gods don’t even have a year off...
Zhao Mingyang is going to transform into a master of metaphysics and talk to Eveni about metaphysics. Many people in Europe and the United States believe in this.
"Can you still do this?" Eveni looked at Zhao Mingyang while riding a horse and said.
At this time, the two of them had entered the woods, and there was no one around. Zhao Mingyang squinted and looked at Eveni's horse.
This horse is not strong enough, and it is not on the right track. Why doesn't it stand up? At least it should go wild once.
Zhao Mingyang looked at Eveni, and a song sounded in his mind: My grassland, my horse, I can play whatever I want.
"I'm not good at it, I'm very good at it. I never do anything modest, nor do I do anything to belittle oneself. Excessive modesty is arrogance, and being too high-profile is also arrogance. What I am pursuing now is myself.
That is to be a person who is truly not afraid of being overheard by talking in his sleep or hiding in the dark.
If you like it, you just like it. If you don’t like it, you don’t like it. There is no need to hide it. For example, I like you in this state. There is no need to hide it deliberately. That would be too unreal. Being a real person is what I have always been doing.
The principle, the premise, is that I only show my truth in front of people I think I recognize, otherwise, I don’t want to be true to everyone at all.”
Listen, what Zhao Mingyang said seems to be unsaid and inconsistent, but it sounds somewhat reasonable. How could Yvonne know that this is nonsense literature.
Just as Yvonne was thinking, Zhao Mingyang took out a small marble from his pocket and flicked it hard against the buttocks of the horse that Yvonne was riding.
