Chapter 312: Bad Girl Course
Although there was no mention of hypocrisy at the moment, Su Yun's "humbly seeking advice" still greatly satisfied Zha Lan's vanity. After waving her hand to signal her to sit back in her seat, she began to talk incessantly.
Su Yun asked him for advice for more than half an hour, but finally couldn't help but interrupt him: "Can you... put it more briefly?"
Probably because it was a rare opportunity for him to meet a sucker like her who came to him on his own initiative, Zha Lan directly turned on the reminiscence mode for most of the hour and talked at length about his experiences over the years.
So Su Yun once again repeated the experience of her expression changing when she listened to Ovitz reading the first draft of Zha Lan's autobiography, from interest to silence to impatience and then to dumbfounded. Finally, she waved her hand and said in a gesture of indifference: "That's enough, I don't think I can do what you say."
"You really have no self-confidence. On the contrary, if a woman is ruthless, she will have more advantages than men in the field of love." Zha Lan taught earnestly, "First and foremost, the most important point is that women hold the final initiative and right of interpretation in childbirth."
“Isn’t this a relative disadvantage?” Su Yun was puzzled: Whether in ancient times or in later generations, women’s inevitable physical weakness during childbirth has led to a host of oppressive and plundering regulations.
From the ancient times when women were regarded as reproductive machines, to the future when women are so-called equals but are very picky and demanding towards pregnant women, it seems that childbearing is a yoke imposed on women, pulling back their steps, forcing them to stay where they are or even retreat helplessly.
"This point still depends on your perspective." Zha Lan drew a line on the tea table with her hand. "Because women are bound by a higher sense of morality than men, coupled with the inertial concepts from ancient times to the present and the relationship during pregnancy, most women want to keep their children with them no matter how hard it is."
Just like his biological mother whom he rarely sees, even though she is divorced from his biological father, she still wants to fight for his custody; but people always fail to cherish after getting it, so now after getting his custody, she ignores him and puts him aside casually.
Occasionally, he would be allowed to stay with his biological father for a period of time - anyway, the custody rights were with his mother, and sending him over would save various living expenses and a lot of energy in taking care of him.
The difference is that, unlike many loveless children who were treated like a ball and developed a taciturn personality, he has never been the kind of person who complains about himself, relying on his superficial good looks to stir up trouble. In short, he has known how to use all his advantages to gain benefits since he was a child.
“No wonder you were chosen to play in The Wrath of the Sea.” Although Zha Lan’s childhood sounds quite pitiful, his attitude of “as long as you are mentally strong enough and thick-skinned enough, you don’t have to be afraid of anything” made Su Yun speechless: The protagonist of The Wrath of the Sea is a combination of a sinister gigolo, a gigolo, and a criminal. No wonder Zha Lan, whose acting skills were ridiculed by everyone at the time, was able to get this resource. It turns out that this is a completely true to himself…
After all, ever since she knew that when he was stationed in the Navy, he stole a jeep from the army and ended up falling into a ditch with the jeep, and then was stripped of his rank of private first class and expelled, and then ran to Paris to continue to rely on his looks to cheat people everywhere... Su Yun felt that nothing could push Zha Lan's bottom line.
"Yes, I was involved in a murder case a few years ago, wasn't I involved in a murder case?" Zha Lan said calmly, "Those bastards took me back and interrogated me for a long time, so I simply wrote a ten thousand word letter of apology to the government and hired a lawyer to fight those who framed me to the end. In the end, I even earned some compensation, which was just enough for my company to use to make a new movie..."
"But do these things...have anything to do with falling in love?" Su Yun was puzzled.
"This is what I want to teach you - no matter when and where, you must try your best to occupy the most advantageous position, occupy the most useful people and things, turn passivity into initiative, but always show that you are the 'passive' party with relatively fewer mistakes." Zha Lan said very seriously.
"As long as you can 'prove' that you are the better party, then all problems will be solved."
Su Yun was silent for a long time before nodding heavily: "I think I roughly understand what you mean."
To put it bluntly, it is a variation of the struggle in the business and political circles, using the advantage of public opinion to brainwash all bystanders, even the opponents of the struggle, and then portraying oneself as a super white lotus that goes with the flow and has no control over its own behavior.
As long as they don't run into the kind of old driver who can see through everything in an instant, they can make the public's thoughts and the direction of the story follow their own ideas in the shortest possible time. If necessary, they can even take the opportunity to bite back and make themselves an innocent and pitiful victim...
"Besides, you are a woman, so you naturally occupy the position of 'weak', making most passers-by who only care about gender and don't have time to understand the truth stand by your side as a teammate subconsciously..." Zha Lan spread her hands helplessly, "Everyone says that women are weak, but I still think that - when a weak person starts to choose to be cruel, nothing in the world can defeat her."
"Because of this inertial thinking, there are so many single-parent families in the world." When Zha Lan said this, she suddenly lowered her eyes and stared at Su Yun, "Perhaps you can't imagine that when you are about to enter the glorious but dark middle age, the so-called bloodline will emerge without warning."
"And because of the physiological differences between boys and girls, you can't even effectively test whether these children who suddenly appear without warning and ask you to fulfill your fatherly responsibilities are really your own children!" Zha Lan said gritting her teeth.
Su Yun nodded in understanding: For Zha Lan, who had always been free-spirited and easy-going in his early years, this sudden arrival of the so-called "lost pearl from the sea" must have been quite common.
The question is, is it a real bloodline or someone is plotting against him? The truth is too difficult to detect.
"But the advantage of being a woman is not only the accurate identification of the bloodline of the offspring, but also that as long as you can handle it well, then such a thing will never happen in the future..." Zha Lan said with certainty, "This is the fundamental reason why I think women have a far greater advantage than men in the love field."
What should I do? I suddenly feel that what he said really makes sense!
Even if it is an unexpected pregnancy, women have the right to choose whether to keep the pregnancy or not, and if they do, they should be mentally prepared to move forward step by step. It is not likely that one day in the next few decades, a nearly adult child will suddenly appear and ask you to perform a modern version of "My Fair Princess" without you being mentally prepared at all...
And most importantly, the super trump card plan of secretly having a child to preserve the relationship has become quite difficult to achieve due to the reversal of the circumstances of both men and women.
Seeing that Su Yun fell into deep thought, Zha Lan suddenly smiled as if he had seduced his target, as if he was the poisonous snake in the Garden of Eden that seduced Eve to eat the forbidden fruit. Besides being extremely gorgeous, he also had a bit of satisfaction of having succeeded in his trick.
Against the backdrop of the evening glow outside the window, there was an indescribable ambiguity.
Even though I have seen many outstanding beauties from China and abroad, when I inadvertently glance at them, I will be shocked by the unusual movement of this kind of tense and self-aware seductive scumbag.
This man has a fatal attraction, but also a deadly lethality.
However, this almost contradictory polarization creates the fundamental truth that although you can clearly see that the person in front of you is a scumbag to the core, you still can't help but be attracted to him like a moth to a flame.
Zha Lan is a well-known narcissist in the circle. She likes to see others amazed by her. Seeing Su Yun's performance, she felt so happy that her subsequent questions were slightly upbeat: "What do you think? Do you think I'm right?"
"You are so charming..." Su Yun pressed his forehead, "If you were not like that, you might be more successful in politics than in the entertainment industry - of course, I mean if."
"Forget it. The political circle is not suitable for me." Zha Lan waved her hand with a gloomy look on her face, and then the two smiled at each other.
The reason is simple: although Jair Bolsonaro is indeed quite flexible, he is even more famous for his self-defeating personality, so much so that not only in other countries, but even in his own "base camp" France, there are many people who dislike him.
As a European actor in France, with such status and fame that he could occupy a place in the rapidly developing golden age of Hollywood, anyone else would be considered a national treasure in his own country.
The only exception is Zha Lan, a weirdo with a long criminal record who doesn't care much about clearing his name (and may not be able to do so). Apart from some people who want to work with him, he is treated with a kind face and good attitude by others. Although he is not to the point of being hated by everyone, it is definitely not an exaggeration to say that he is hated by everyone...
Therefore, the only way to quickly get over this sensitive topic that everyone knows about is to smile at each other.
"By the way, with the current development of science and technology, the technology for testing kinship has gradually made considerable progress..." Su Yun had previously explored the development of current DNA technology because he was planning to return to the Zhao family.
Unfortunately, although scientists have developed two DNA sequencing technologies in 1978, the most commonly used and classic DNA paternity testing technology for testing bloodline has not yet been officially launched. Of course, today's scientists probably can't imagine that the most widely used commercial application of DNA sequencing technology in the future is actually paternity testing...
"Perhaps in the future, we will be able to see some simple yet effective detection and identification technologies." Su Yun said with certainty, with the future knowledge that comes with a golden finger.
"You have gone further than so many people in science and technology, but why are you so good at love that people can't help but shake their heads?" Zha Lan couldn't help but ask.
Su Yun thought for a moment and said, "Maybe... science and technology will gradually step down from the altar with the passage of time and human efforts, but the way of love is an eternal problem that people still find difficult to explore and solve."
"That's an interesting idea." After hearing Su Yun's answer, Zha Lan pondered for a moment, then waved his hand to drive away the group of dogs sitting around his feet.
After settling all the dogs of different sizes and colors, Zha Lan shook the car key in her hand at Su Yun: "Let's go, while it's still night."
"Where are you going?" Su Yun was stunned.
"Although I haven't read many books, I still believe in the principle that 'no matter how much you say, it's not as good as practicing it yourself.'" Zha Lan explained, "Just like your science and technology, the theory ultimately needs to be proven by practice, and then complement each other."
"So, I'm going to give you a little test - I'll set you a goal, and then you have to tease him as quickly as possible, but in the end you must be able to retreat unscathed."
