Apocalyptic villain_ I am surrounded by heroines

“Your etiquette process is too cumbersome.”

Su Yan, who was sitting next to Chen Ye, couldn’t help but complain in a low voice.

According to ancient rules, women are definitely not allowed to be brought along on such occasions.

But after all, we are in modern times, and many women will be involved in key family affairs, so these rules naturally need to change accordingly.

Nowadays, family members are allowed to bring their female relatives to meetings.

Of course, this is usually done as a couple.

Chen Ye is not married yet, so logically speaking, he cannot bring Su Yan in.

But there is no way, who makes him strong now?

And there is something like the power awakening serum in his hand.

Even the factions that have no dealings with Changfang are not willing to pick a fight over such a trivial matter.

“Whether it’s cumbersome or not depends on what angle you look at it from.” Chen Ye said calmly: “Modern society pays attention to efficiency. From this perspective, this etiquette and process are indeed a bit too cumbersome. It has been criticized as red tape and feudal dross. It’s not unreasonable.”

“But from the perspective of ritual, the grand ceremony brought by these rules and procedures has a huge impact on people.”

“This thing is not just as simple as satisfying the master’s vanity. There is actually a very complex psychological logic behind it. Every etiquette process has a lot of psychological implications. The ultimate goal is to establish authority. If Shen Yanxi was here, it would be You can ask her to explain it to you.”

Su Yan: …Her little brain naturally couldn’t figure out the many details behind these complicated processes. She was stunned for a while and then said angrily: “I don’t understand, it’s too troublesome.”

Before the business started, Chen Ye didn’t mind chatting with her for a few words. Hearing this, he smiled and said, “Have you ever eaten Western food?”

“Um… When I was in school, the rich girls in the dormitory took me to eat. The average price per person was more than 2,000, which is very expensive.” Su Yan stuck out her tongue and said, “But the atmosphere is really good, it’s just food. Too little, not enough to eat.”

“Do you think it’s very ritualistic?” Chen Ye continued to smile.

“It does seem to be more ceremonial than going to an ordinary restaurant to eat.” Su Yan said a little uncertainly: “How to put the knife and fork, how to cut the meat, etc., there seem to be requirements, it looks very formal Looks like this. Is there anything wrong with this?”

“What do you think is the essential difference between the so-called etiquette in Western food and the etiquette processes you see now? If we just talk about eating, then everyone does not need these etiquettes, and they can also fill their stomachs. These so-called dining etiquettes are also It won’t make you feel better, why do you think that one has a sense of ceremony and makes you feel formal, but now this one just feels cumbersome to you?”

“this……”

Su Yan immediately gave up after hearing this.

Naturally, Chen Ye didn’t mean to embarrass her. He was just chatting on a whim. When he saw this, he just smiled and said: “Nowadays, there are always some people who like to praise those things in Western dining as a sense of ritual, and then talk about Xia Guo’s planing.” In addition to criticizing the normal dining process after the etiquette process, it has no sense of ceremony and is not romantic. At the same time, it also forgets to criticize these traditional etiquette as feudal dross, which actually makes no sense.”

“The essential reason for this situation is that Xia Guo’s table manners have been integrated into daily life after eliminating the complicated parts. Most people have eaten this way since childhood, and it doesn’t feel strange to them physically. For example, you can’t smack your mouth while eating. , chopsticks should not be inserted into the rice, they have been integrated into daily life and become a habit. You rarely experience Western food, so it naturally feels fresh and ritualistic.”

“As for why you feel that the process in front of you is cumbersome and not ceremonial, the reason is actually very simple. These etiquette processes have a strong purpose. They are originally intended to establish the authority of the host and at the same time express a grand welcome to the guests. You are neither the host nor a guest, so of course you don’t think there’s anything good about this thing.”

With that said, Chen Ye glanced at his parents sitting in the highest position, smiled and said to Su Yan: “Did you see it? If you have the opportunity to sit there with me in the future, you won’t find these procedures cumbersome.”

In the final analysis, this thing is still a problem of the audience.

For those who are qualified to participate in person and receive such high-standard etiquette and the host family, these things are not feudal bad habits, but a proper sense of ceremony, and both face and face are taken care of.

But for those who can only watch on the Internet, this is of course a unnecessary act of taking off your pants and farting.

“Sit there?”

However, Su Yan’s focus was different from Chen Ye’s. After following his gaze, she thought of something. A bright red suddenly appeared on her pretty face, and she quickly lowered her head.

While the two were chatting, everyone had basically taken their seats, and wine and food were already placed on every table.

Of course, this thing is just a bonus. To have a place here, you have never tasted any delicacies from the mountains and seas.

The focus is still on what to say at the dinner party.

After three rounds of wine, five flavors of food.

Starting from the head of the family, Chen Ye, the formal discussion finally began.

This thing is said to be a matter of discussion, but in fact, the real core senior management has already discussed how the family will develop in the future, and speaking out at this time is just to inform all the family children.

The final distribution of benefits cannot be decided now, but will depend on the abilities of those with special powers among the young disciples later.

Society must keep pace with the times, and aristocratic families must do the same.

It is already foreseeable that the world of superpowers will follow, so whoever has stronger superpowers will naturally get more resource support from the family.

Wen Wu is the first, Wu Wu is not the second, this thing does not count in private, it can only be seen at hand.

Even for a direct descendant like Chen Ye, if he were still an ordinary person without the power to restrain a chicken, the support he could get from his family would definitely be greatly reduced.

Family branches such as Dafang and Second Fang consider things from the perspective of their own interests, but for the clan elders who truly control the greatest power of the family, keeping the family strong is what they want to do.

Juniors can have factional fights, but they can’t.

If you don’t even have this awareness, you are not qualified to become a clan elder.

In ordinary times, clan elders may also be divided into factions on small matters, but on major matters related to the continuation of the family, if they want to have a place in the family ancestral hall and enjoy the incense and worship of future generations, they must focus solely on the family.

The last distribution of interests of the family before the end will be led by these clan elders.

After Chen Ye’s father Chen Wu, the head of the family, has finished explaining the general policy for the subsequent development of the family, it will be the clan elder who announces the competition between the younger generations of the Chen family’s superpowers.

But as expected, something unexpected happened during the process.

After Chen Wu finished speaking, he sat down. Before the clan elders could stand up and announce the contest, the speaker in the second room, Chen Chang, who was sitting not far above Chen Ye, suddenly stood up and looked at the clan elders sitting behind Chen Wu. He said in a voice: “Dear clan elders, my second wife, Chen Chang, has something to say!”
