Free Web NovelChapter 743: Chapter 593: Marrying a Blessed Person
"Adler said, ’The world is simple, and life is the same. It’s not the world that’s complex, but people who make it complex.’
Shi Wangyue’s voice was deep and textured, not particularly loud, yet all eyes quickly turned to him.
The internet mogul who had raised the topic with him sat firmly in his chair, "I agree. Many people say ’judge the heart of a gentleman with the mind of a petty person,’ actually, this isn’t completely accurate because every idea someone thinks of, others must have thought of too. The difference is that people with morals restrain themselves and keep reflecting, preventing their actions and thoughts from becoming bottomless, while those without morals act on them.
Sometimes, to tackle the complexity of others, one must start by understanding the complexity within oneself. With this change in perspective, many things become simple: you are what others are, and there aren’t so many issues."
Shi Wangyue nodded gently, "Anyone who wants to exploit human nature just doesn’t understand the heart and humanity."
"Exactly, exactly," the internet mogul smiled warmly, "Simplicity and love are what help people endure."
"A straightforward mind is the way," Shi Wangyue’s lips curved subtly, his well-defined hands clasped in front of him, and his sleek suit made him look like a top male model.
The surrounding executives found it hard not to be mesmerized by his charisma. After finishing one topic with the person next to him, someone wanted to start another conversation, but just then he took out a vibrating phone from his pocket.
"Sorry, I need to take a call." Shi Wangyue glanced at the number on the phone and turned to the people around him.
Everyone said:
"President Shi is really busy with work."
"No problem, go ahead and take your call."
Immediately, Shi Wangyue answered the call in front of them, and this unabashed manner of taking a private call surprised the group of executives.
But soon, everyone realized that since he answered the call in front of them, it probably wasn’t anything crucial.
The people around sensibly raised their glasses, "President Shi is busy, let’s drink."
Everyone present, regardless of how eloquent their words were.
Were astute people with layers of insight.
Even as Shi Wangyue was on the phone, their drinking was genuine, but that didn’t mean they weren’t paying attention to him.
Everyone soon noticed that the always elegant and reserved man, typically with a serious expression, now had a look of unprecedented tenderness.
Then, they saw him smile happily, though they didn’t know what the person on the other end was saying.
They were seasoned individuals, and seeing the change in attitude of this young man rising in the industry, his evident tenderness made the relationship with the person on the phone somewhat obvious.
So when Shi Wangyue hung up, someone jokingly asked, "Was that your girlfriend calling?"
Shi Wangyue nodded lightly, slipping the phone into his pants pocket.
The young man’s exceptionally handsome face, though the smile dissipated, still held an unmistakable gentleness, and this expression of being in love intrigued the middle-aged, married executives around him, prompting more conversation, "President Shi’s life is like an idol drama."
"Mr. Zhang has a point," others agreed, marveling, "We could only envy."
"I merely walked the path that you predecessors have all traveled," Shi Wangyue responded with a humble smile.
This smile was like a gentle breeze to everyone’s brows, mesmerizing them.
"President Shi, you’re modest," someone said sincerely, "Idol dramas are for domineering CEOs. We at most are called ’entrepreneurs,’ and entrepreneurs aren’t fit for idol dramas."
Then the executive seemed to recall something and asked the crowd with a smile, "Do you all know why we’re called ’entrepreneurs’?"
Everyone there was exemplary people.
They knew that his question wasn’t one with an easy answer everyone would anticipate, so they waited for him to explain.
