Chapter 183 I am a local dog and I love to watch
While the two were eating, Jiang Wanxing suddenly remembered something and spoke with a smile.
"Rong Shuyan, do you know?"
"What?" Rong Shuyan subconsciously looked up at her.
Jiang Wanxing narrowed his eyes and said slowly, "When you said you wanted to hold me to sleep, it reminded me of the overbearing CEOs and princes in many novels, the kind who can't sleep without holding the heroine."
Rong Shuyan: "What is it?"
"You don't understand."
Jiang Wanxing waved his hand.
"It's a story about a man who is rich, powerful, and beautiful, and who, due to some chance, meets the ordinary woman and falls in love with her. I'm a local dog, and I love to watch it."
Rong Shuyan: “…”
Rong Shuyan looked at her, was silent for a moment, and then continued to eat with his head down.
"Hey, what do you mean?" Jiang Wanxing glared at him.
"..." Rong Shuyan: "Nothing."
Jiang Wanxing always eats very quickly.
After she finished eating, she held her face and watched Rong Shuyan eat.
"Do you know what my college major was?"
Rong Shuyan replied without thinking, "I know, literature."
Jiang Wanxing tapped his fingers twice on the table.
“I think words, whether vulgar or elegant, reveal a lot about human nature.
The "dear wife" literature that many girls despise is actually about the heroine sacrificing herself and becoming an appendage of a rich and powerful man in order to gain money, power and other things that she does not have.
The heroine is not looking for the man's love, but the superior life after getting the man's love, or the man's help in life and financial support.
But what’s the difference between this and going to work? The only difference is probably that it’s covered in the cloak of love.”
While Jiang Wanxing was speaking, many people were already looking in their direction.
Both of them have very superior appearances, and their clothes also show that they have extraordinary status.
No matter where you go, you will inevitably attract a second look.
Rong Shuyan didn't know what she wanted to say, so he didn't say anything.
So, Jiang Wanxing continued:
"In fact, family relationships are the same. Through your own emotional investment and support for each other in real life, you can gain emotional feedback and help from the other party.
To a large extent, whether it is family, love, or friendship, it is essentially an exchange of value.
Humans are social animals, and value exchange is an established rule in the evolution of human society.
Primitive Homo sapiens lacked fangs and claws, and lacked the ability to survive independently, so they could only live in groups. In modern society, humans have the option of being alone, but their needs go beyond mere survival.
After hearing this, Rong Shuyan almost understood what Jiang Wanxing meant.
"I have no feelings for him."
"But there is no hatred, right?" Jiang Wanxing asked with a smile.
Rong Shuyan fell silent, and after a moment he said:
"But I have the choice not to give it back to him."
Jiang Wanxing continued, "I know, but from the perspective of interests, you have to give him a certain amount of emotion in return... I can't even say it's emotion, it just requires you to be less indifferent.
He may become someone who helps you at some point in the future.
Of course you can say that you don't need his help, but the rules of getting along between people are not as simple as you think.
Your indifference doesn't guarantee indifference from the other party. If the other party's emotions are not reciprocated for a long time, they may become resentful of you and stab you in the back in the future."
Rong Shuyan frowned slightly, thought about it, and brought up what he had said to Rong Shuhuai before.
"If someone is deeply in love with you and wants to spend the rest of his life with you, but you don't like him at all, would you choose to give him emotional reciprocity just because of his wishful thinking?"
Jiang Wanxing smiled.
“So, it’s a question of weighing the trade-offs.
If the emotional harm I cause to myself by choosing to give him emotional feedback is greater than the possible consequences, then I will not choose him.
On the other hand, if the harm he might cause me due to hatred and resentment because I don't choose him is greater than the mental damage I would suffer if I chose him, then I might choose him."
Many people say that it is better to die with honor than to live in disgrace.
But Jiang Wanxing didn't want to die in disgrace.
She is someone who is keen on weighing values and trade-offs.
No matter what you do, you will always consider the consequences first.
Just like her previous dispute with Zhao Xintong.
If Zhao Xintong's family background was better, so good that it could cause her substantial harm, she would never bother with such a fool.
After all, the impact that something like an idiot might have on her is really minimal.
Seeing Rong Shuyan didn't say anything, Jiang Wanxing picked up the juice on the table and took a sip.
"I've said all this, but I'm not forcing you to do things according to my ideas, nor am I forcing you to put on a show of brotherly love with your brother.
I just hope you can put aside your subjective wishes and consider the reality."
Jiang Wanxing and Rong Shuyan are actually very contradictory people.
Jiang Wanxing is young and seems to act according to her heart, daring to love and hate. In fact, her way of thinking is more objective.
Rong Shuyan is cold and calm, but the logic behind his actions basically comes from his subjective will.
"good."
——
After lunch, Jiang Wanxing went to the Gray Iron Delta base in Continent X.
Because she was worried about the two machine tools, she even went to the cruise ship to make sure they were safe.
When we arrived at the base, someone was already waiting there.
As expected, the mercenaries who came to rob people did not dare to come.
The only buyer who came was the boy with the rare blood type.
Jiang Wanxing walked into the reception room, pulled out a chair and sat down.
"I think we're all reasonable people, so we should discuss and come up with a foolproof plan before making a decision on this matter today."
"What?"
The middle-aged man in a suit and tie sitting opposite Jiang Wanxing was stunned.
He said in disbelief: "This lady..."
Jiang Wanxing reminded with a smile.
"My last name is Jiang."
"Ms. Jiang, we paid a high price for this mercenary goods. Today, those mercenaries wanted to steal it! It's ours in the first place, why can't they return it to us?"
Jiang Wanxing continued to smile, "Because this isn't a commodity, it's a person. Before we make a decision, shouldn't we respect his wishes?"
Middle-aged man: "..."
Unless he was stupid, he would not believe that the people in the Gray Iron Delta would suddenly show kindness.
The girl in front of me said this simply because she didn't want to pay it back.
"What happened this morning was due to our inadequate handling of the situation, which has caused you trouble. I have no objection to any compensation you seek, but please return the goods to us."
