Chapter 305: Immortal
When eating breakfast, Zhang Chen deliberately looked around the restaurant and didn't see Natalie.
Natalie tries her best to be mature and sensible, but after all, she is only a sixteen-year-old girl, and sometimes she will inevitably commit some childish diseases.
The two didn't speak all the way last night, returned to the hotel, and went back to their rooms.
Zhang Chen found out in the morning that his coat was still with Natalie, and after thinking about it, he still didn't go to her to ask for it.
Zhang Chen shook his head, forget it, it would be embarrassing to meet again, gobbling up the cold meat on the plate.
Gan Jie and Le Pen had already eaten breakfast and went to check the condition of the car and checkout, and Zhang Chen was also in a hurry to set off and ate quickly.
A glass of lemonade was handed to his dining table, Zhang Chen thought it was a waiter, just said thank you, and when he looked up, it was Natalie.
Natalie sat down across from him casually, "Where are you going today?"
Zhang Chen looked at Natalie and nodded: "Yes, go to a security company over there." β
Natalie took a plate of vegetables and sprinkled with olive oil to make a salad dressing.
Natalie took a bite of the salad, "Which security company?"
Zhang Chen frowned, and gave her another omelette from his plate. βBENI Talγ β
Natalie pursed her lips in disgust, "I don't eat eggs." β
Zhang Chen swallowed the meatballs in his mouth: "If you still want to grow taller, you must supplement a certain amount of animal protein at each meal, eggs and milk are the best sources of protein, and even in Buddhism, these two are vegetarian foods." β
Zhang Chen put the last bite of bread in his mouth: "I can guarantee that if you continue to maintain your current eating habits, your height will be fixed at 5 feet 3 inches." β
Natalie hesitated and ate the egg.
"I'm done, you can do it yourself. Zhang Chen stood up and prepared to leave.
Natalie suddenly said, "I'm going too." β
Zhang Chen turned around: "Miss, I'm going to do business." β
Natalie raised an eyebrow, "Isn't Beni Tal an Israeli company? I'm also Jewish, so maybe I can help?"
Zhang Chen's heart jumped when he saw it, Natalie's charm at this age was almost unstoppable.
Licking his lips, Zhang Chen still said firmly: "Forget it, you are a star, it will not be good if there is a scandal." β
Natalie wiped her mouth and picked up her backpack from the chair next to her: "I've eaten too, let's go, where's your car?"
Zhang Chen saw that everyone had already packed up and the room had been withdrawn, so he came prepared, and said helplessly: "Okay, but I may not be able to come back today, and I have to go to the training base in Carlsbad in the afternoon." β
Natalie shrugged: "It's okay, tomorrow weekend, as long as I can come back on Sunday." β
Zhang Chen also shrugged his shoulders like Natalie, and the two walked to the parking lot one after the other.
Natalie changed into a T-shirt, but she was still wearing yesterday's baseball cap, Gan Jie and Le Pen saw Zhang Chen followed by a girl with a very low brim, and they both looked at each other.
Le Pen is French, very gentlemanly, and wants to take the initiative to take the backpack in Natalie's hand and put it in the back of the car, Natalie smiled and said thank you, but did not give him the backpack, indicating that there are belongings in it, just put it in the back seat.
Le Bon saw Natalie's face, was shocked, and said nervously: "Is it Miss Natalie who plays Mathilde?"
This killer is not too cold, in fact, it is more like a French movie, the director, the actor, the cinematographer, except for the heroine and the anti-number one, almost the entire production team is French.
And the highest award this film won is also the CΓ©sar Award, the highest award for French cinema.
As a French man who naturally loves movies, Le Pen has naturally seen this movie, and everyone who has seen it has not been attracted by the amazing charm that Natalie shows in it.
Zhang Chen opened the door for Natalie: "Natalie is my good friend, she will go to Malibu and Carlsbad with us, she is a star figure, pay attention to secrecy, don't talk nonsense." β
Le Pen took a deep breath, although she was quite excited, but after all, the boss was next to her, so she still stopped the idea of continuing to talk, and just secretly observed through the rearview mirror.
Natalie took out Zhang Chen's coat from her backpack, "Oh, by the way, your coat is still with me, give it back to you." β
Zhang Chen took it and threw it to the third row of seats in the commercial car. Le Pen and Gan Jie trembled in their hearts after seeing them in the rearview mirror, it seems that the relationship between these two people is not pure.
Zhang Chen took a book in the car and read it quietly, and Natalie was also reading a book, and for a while there was only wind noise and dull engine sound in the car.
Ten minutes later, Natalie turned her head sideways and asked Zhang Chen, "What are you looking at?"
Zhang Chen turned the book over and showed Natalie the cover, "To have or to be".
Natalie made a gesture, "You also read these kinds of psychology books?"
Zhang Chen smiled: "To make investment, more important than technology is to study people's psychology. In a sense, psychology is the foundation of all social sciences. β
Natalie took the book in Zhang Chen's hand and flipped through it: "I like Fromm's critique of the possessive lifestyle very much, people spend too much time and energy defending these possessions while constantly having (it is always inaccurate to translate as possession), and invisibly, people lose their self and become possessed by possession." β
Zhang Chen smiled: "As a believer in Freud, Fromm likes to use the theory of the ego and superego to explain all social psychology. In fact, his concept was put forward thousands of years ago, in Buddhism, greed, hatred, ignorance, slowness and suspicion are called the five poisons, and Fromm is talking about the category of greed. And in Judaism, there is also a saying of the seven deadly sins, and greed is one of them. β
Natalie wondered, "You don't agree with Fromm's theory, so why are you taking it so seriously?"
Zhang Chen shook his head and said: "I can't talk about disagreeing, it's just that I think that no psychological theory can completely discuss the psychological causes of people, and I value the practicality of various theories more." β
Zhang Chen raised the book in his hand: "Just like this book, through Fromm's description, I, as an Oriental, can understand how Westerners' unique thinking is formed and what are the psychological causes. β
"I'm an investor, and the most important thing is to deal with people, and it never hurts to learn more. β
Natalie sighed: "You are a typical possessive mentality, reading with a utilitarian mentality. The more people possess, the more they lose their true self, and the more difficult it is to resist the fear of death. Because you are afraid of losing, you are afraid of losing your wealth, you are afraid of losing your life, and you will use all your energy to protect the safety of all this, but you will ignore what you really want. β
Zhang Chen thought for a while: "Nat, have you ever beaten Tetris?"
Natalie nodded blankly, not knowing why Zhang Chen brought up this topic.
Zhang Chen gestured with his hand in the air, "Tetris is a game that will not be cleared, the only ending of the game is death, but death and death are also different, because when you die, the score is different." The top 10 players with the top 10 points in the game can enter their name in the game history, and everyone who plays the game on this console will be able to see the record you set. β
"Life is actually a game, and maybe the final ending is certain, but everyone gets a different score at the end. Some people's achievements are remembered by the world, while most people, maybe not two years after his death, the only people in this world can remember him is his immediate family, and in a few decades, maybe the last person who remembers him will also disappear in this world. β
"I once heard the saying that a person dies three times in his life, the first time is brain death, which means death in the biological sense, the second time is funeral, which means death in the social sense, and the third time is forgetting, and no one in this world will ever think of you again, that is, you will die completely. β
"Whether it is the pursuit of wealth, the pursuit of art, or the pursuit of knowledge, there is no difference between them. Fromm gained immortality by writing a book to make more people remember him, and I, I hope to gain immortality through wealth, and you, too, will definitely be immortal in the movie through your own performance. β
