If it were a greasy uncle or an ugly young man who said this, Chen Yao would probably refuse directly or even turn around and leave.
But in front of him was Li Shi.
The previous atmosphere had been brewing to this point, and what he said was particularly calm and indifferent.
Chen Yao stared at Li Shi's face, which became more and more beautiful the more he looked at it, thinking that he made this weird request for the sake of creation, rather than wanting to eat his own "tofu". She had heard of this kind of behavior before. Artistic people sometimes have little quirks.
From the moment they met until now, Chen Yao felt that this rich and handsome boy was quite serious. She had planned to arrange a special service for a massage the night before yesterday, but Li Shi immediately and resolutely refused. Unlike that guy Lu Congwei, A look of regret.
"OK."
Anyway, it’s just touching your face, not...
Li Shi blinked when he heard this.
This request of mine is actually quite inexplicable and a bit rude.
When I saw Chen Yao being silent just now, I thought she would refuse, but I didn't expect that she actually agreed.
Li Shi was naturally very happy, so he could get another "sample" of bone touching.
He checked the weather forecast on his mobile phone and immediately said: "Let's do it tomorrow morning. The weather tomorrow will be similar to today, and there should be sunshine. Sister Yao, please come to my place early tomorrow, before seven-thirty."
We also made an appointment to meet in the lobby at 8:30 tomorrow. From 7:30 to 8:30, one hour was enough for Li Shi.
Chen Yao glanced at the painting on the desk again, and said with some regret: "Okay, this is the only way."
The two went out together and went downstairs to the hotel lobby. Lu Congwei and Chen Yao's assistant and driver were already waiting for them. Seeing them coming down at the same time, Lu Congwei gave Li Shi an incomprehensible look.
On the way to the parking lot after breakfast, he came over and whispered: "Brother, it turns out you also like types who are more mature than yourself."
also?
Li Shi looked at him in surprise, feeling that his words contained a lot of information. This old man was almost forty years old.
Tsk tsk.
…
The next day, a small team of them spent most of the day looking at the stones at the auction venue.
The main force in the bidding was Chen Yao. On behalf of her company, she submitted a total of nineteen bids. However, she also revealed that she was confident that she would win only two or three bids. The others were not given too high prices. It all depends on luck. .
"Our company mainly focuses on plain materials."
Although Li Shi also joined the Jade Association with the guarantee of Chen Yao and Lu Congwei, this time he did not bid alone, but jointly invested two stones with Lu Congwei.
He mainly just followed and studied.
He even went to the wholesale market alone in the afternoon, and made a series of purchases, harvesting several small and unique products that could be used as exchange samples.
After a day of shopping during the day, they returned to the hotel at night. Lu Congwei and Chen Yao were exhausted, but Li Shi was still energetic. He took a shower, sat on the sofa and logged into the Bihu app with his mobile phone, wanting to see Are there any new answers to the questions he posted?
Looking at it this way, it’s really rewarding.
There are many new answers to the dozen or so questions, but most of them are short and useless. The only long answer comes from a netizen named "Last Lala is unconscious":
laxative.
I've been shopping around for several years and I rarely answer questions, but after seeing this question, especially other people's answers, I didn't want to be silent anymore.
This question immediately reminded me of a certain respected scientist, Mr. Qian.
Many people should know the famous "Qian Lao Zhi Qian".
…
First, let’s talk about what a master is and what a guru is.
The definition of "master" in "Modern Chinese Dictionary" is "a person who has profound attainments in knowledge or art and is respected by everyone", and the explanation of "grandmaster" is "a person who is respected by others in terms of thought or scholarship" A person who is regarded as a teacher."
If you use this definition, to become a master, you must meet two conditions: 1. Objectively, you must have deep knowledge in a certain field; 2. Subjectively, you must be respected by others. If you want to become a master, you need to add one more thing to this foundation: that you have innovation and development, and you can be regarded as a teacher.
Taken together, in this regard, I agree with the other long answer (the one with the most likes), but I don’t agree with the example he gave, and even sneered at it. What example can you give that is not good? Take it from a movie. Taking the characters as an example, can the movie characters be 100% the same as the character prototypes in reality... The Grandmaster must be an existence of Zhang Sanfeng's level. If we talk about Ip Man, we might as well talk about Bruce Lee. Bruce Lee at least created something in the real world. Created Jeet Kune Do and made it famous all over the world! He also greatly promoted "Chinese Kung Fu"!
…
Returning to the main question, can there still be masters in modern society? I don’t know this, but I am certain that modern society can definitely produce masters!
…
"The future will look upon the present, just as the present looks upon the past."
It takes a long time for a master to be verified. Compared with the long history, the decades of our life are too short, and it is difficult to identify who the master is. Only by extending the span of time can the true face of the master be revealed.
Rather than saying that this is an era without masters, it is better to say that modern people can no longer see masters...
Moreover, don’t just limit your vision to the humanities world, put it into the science and technology world. In the past seventy or eighty years, the development of science and technology has been such a big explosion. There are not many scientists and engineers who can be called "masters". ?
In addition, there are sociology, politics...
…
This netizen responded with thousands of words eloquently. Although he agreed with some aspects and disagreed with some points, after reading it, Li Shi felt that his horizons had opened up a lot. At the same time, he also clearly realized that in society, people have negative opinions on "masters" and "masters". There are differences in the definition and cognition of "grandmaster", and personal opinions are highly subjective.
"What about the learning panel's definition of a master?"
He couldn't help but fell into thought.
After a while, I suddenly smiled bitterly. The requirements of the learning panel have always been "comprehensive".
"Learning to run requires combining theory with practice in order to upgrade."
"It can be foreseen that the road to becoming a master will be very difficult... but it doesn't matter. After having the learning panel, I have already lived a wonderful life that I could not even imagine before. I have even surpassed my long-term goals (desires) in life. Ordinary people’s understanding…”
Soon, the bitter smile on Li Shi's lips turned into an optimistic smile.
He took out the notebook and water-based pen he carried with him from his schoolbag and opened the title page.
After thinking for a long time, he wrote three lines of writing in regular script on it:
Chanting songs and walking slowly, climbing up the stairs, leisurely and contented.
If the road is long and full of obstacles, it will come soon; if you keep on walking, you will have a promising future.
The master is the small one, the great master is the Tao.
After he finished writing, he put down his pen and looked at it for a moment. Suddenly, he smiled and said, "The writing is a little ugly."
…
The next morning, seven twenty.
Li Shi was studying with his tablet computer when he suddenly heard a knock on the door. He thought it was Chen Yao who came as an invitation.
He got up, walked over to open the door and took a look, but was stunned.
"Why is it you?"
I didn't hug it when I wrote this chapter, and wasted time writing a lot of "useless" content. In order to avoid entering the dark room, I deleted it and uploaded it again. Let’s update the two chapters together tomorrow night.
It's the end of the month, so I'm asking for a monthly ticket.
