Urban Master of All Powers

"Uncle has investigated me very clearly." Chen Ling closed the book without changing his expression towards the oppression of his father in Xiangxi Palace. "I don't know why uncle is disappointed in me now..."

Xiangxi Gong's father's name is Xiang Zhongyong, but the seemingly mediocre name actually has a deep arrogance. Every movement and look in his eyes can make people feel at a loss.

A stern look flashed in Xiang Zhongyong's eyes for Chen Ling's calm treatment. "Chen Ling, 20 years old, from Nanhu, his parents are laid-off workers who opened a small jewelry company by themselves, and have a sister who is three years younger... With such an ordinary family background, I can only expect you to be a good person, but it seems that I My daughter has found someone who doesn't even know how to be polite."

"I can stand beside my uncle obediently, just like my uncle's subordinates, and don't come to talk to me until my uncle is interested or bored with books, but does my uncle really expect such a person?" From the beginning, this How could Chen Ling fail to notice a little temptation. "I don't think so."

A trace of surprise flashed across Xiang Zhongyong's eyes, and he was noncommittal to what Chen Ling said, but his eyes were much sharper. "Arguing with parents at the first meeting is a very bad impression."

Chen Ling was embarrassed to scratch his hair, and he absolutely couldn't make any answer at this time, otherwise the impression of fighting with reason was really nailed.

After a long time, Xiang Zhongyong laughed and said, "You aroused my interest, and I didn't frighten you when you came here." An ordinary person would be frightened by using an armed helicopter for transportation, but Chen Ling felt that there was nothing left on earth. It can scare him.

What happened next surprised Chen Ling. He was already mentally prepared to face the forced questioning of kissing Xiangxi Palace, but the topic of Xiangzhongyong had no such meaning at all, and they were all small and insignificant issues.

Chen Ling didn't dare to be careless. People with high positions and powers like them often like to hide needles in problems. It seems that every action is full of intrigue. Chen Ling feels that if the power is like this, life is really tiring.

After talking for more than ten minutes, Xiang Zhongyong suddenly asked: "You should have noticed what I was reading in my hand. You read it very seriously just now. How do you understand Zhongyong?"

Moderate? Many people understand it as a middle-of-the-road, impartial, seasoned, or simply mediocre. And the statement that it is too much to go too far is the best evidence, but most of these are just because of the literal meaning and even false information.

If he answered that way, Chen Ling would probably be despised, so he thought for a while and said: "The Doctrine of the Mean says: "What is not biased is called the middle, and what is not easy is called the mediocre." The middle is the right way in the world. The mediocre is the law of the world. ""

"What is middle? My understanding is not in the middle, not a compromise, but conforming to the Tao and following the Tao. What is the Tao?" "The Doctrine of the Mean" says: "The destiny is called nature, and the way is called the way." "That is, in line with nature, following the laws of nature is called Tao..."

Xiang Zhongyong asked casually, wanting to know what young people think now, and by the way, wanting to know what young people in front of them think about the so-called middle-of-the-road, that is, ordinary, ordinary, and mediocre. I didn't expect much at first, but seeing Chen Ling Talking eloquently, I can't help but become interested and listen carefully.

"Everything in the world is originally following the Tao, and nature is inherently regular. What is mediocrity? It is not easy, or unchanged. It is not mediocre or not outstanding. The world always follows the laws of nature. This unchanging characteristic is Yong, so it is the theorem of the world. From the perspective of the world, nature is always in line with the objective law (Tao), this is the golden mean. From the perspective of "I", recognize the objectivity of the world, and always follow the objective law Doing things, this is the golden mean.”

"That's why "The Doctrine of the Mean" says that when joy, anger, sorrow, and joy are not released, it is called the middle. When it is released but restrained, it is called the harmony. That is to say, the most objective face is called the middle. The subjective conforms to the objective, and the so-called harmony between man and nature is achieved. one."

After Chen Ling finished his speech, seeing Xiangxi Gong's father's expression, he wiped the cold sweat from his brow. To be honest, it was really painful for him to talk so much.

"I understand well." Xiang Zhongyong praised.

Chen Ling said: "The so-called too much is too much, just like walking in the city. Every road is a "road". If you want to reach a destination, some people walk blindly and do whatever they want, but they always fail to reach their destination. This is what Confucius said: Fools are too late. Some people want to take shortcuts instead of following the road, but they always hit the wall. This is what Confucius said: The wise man surpasses it. Because they have not followed the right path..."

"The right way?" Xiang Zhongyong said indifferently: "It refers to those who find the right way and then go straight to the end, they are the ones who take the right way. Because they are "the mean", take the right way and only reach the destination on the right way .This is the real golden mean! This is what you want to say."

Chen Ling nodded, completely seeing through his thoughts.

"Then I want to ask you: You are walking on the most correct path, but someone destroys your "right path", so what should you do? Are you going to change to another path and start over again? Or fix it and continue walking?" ? Or knock down those who break your way?"

Xiang Zhongyong asked three questions in a row, and the atmosphere dropped to zero.

Chen Ling knew that the real test was coming.

The candle flame flickered slightly and suddenly went out. The room was plunged into silent darkness, and the breathing disappeared.

He heard Chen Ling's freezing answer from the darkness.

"Re-walking obviously completely negates the previous hard work, and it won't work. It is a good choice to repair and continue walking, but this is only to solve the superficial problem, and the next section of the road may also be damaged. The third seems to be the best answer. Now, defeat the enemies that destroy your path, so that the road will be unimpeded..."

"Oh, you choose the third method?"

"No, the third option is precisely the least optional." Chen Ling resolutely denied: "An enemy who can destroy your path means that he is stronger than you. Maybe you will hit a stone with a pebble if you defeat it."

"So you want to avoid all three options?"

Chen Ling just laughed: "Uncle, I didn't say to escape. Uncle should surf the Internet more. This answer is already very popular on the Internet."

"Ok???"

"Go their way, let them be cornered!"

This is Chen Ling's choice.

The atmosphere was silent for a moment, there was a kind laughter, and a flame lit up in the darkness, Chen Ling saw the wise and sharp eyes of Xiangxi Palace's father.

The room was lit up again, but this time it was not a candle-lit night talk, the lights had already been turned on, and the bright atmosphere made Chen Ling feel much more comfortable.

"It's an interesting answer. Although there are many things worth considering, it's really interesting." Xiang Zhongyong showed a faint smile for the first time.

Chen Ling breathed a sigh of relief, the crisis is over? ?

"Chen Ling, since you call me uncle, I will ask you a question in the name of uncle this time..."

Come on, Chen Ling swallowed his saliva, a lot of brain cells died. "What does uncle want to ask?"

Xiang Zhongyong asked coldly: "Chen Ling, do you think you are qualified to marry my daughter Xi Gong?"

When it was over, the problem Chen Ling didn't want to face was coming.
