Chapter 51: Prestige
After the morning class, Ling Chen went to the library to study diligently in the afternoon. As for going to the martial arts arena, there is no hurry. It's not that I deliberately put on a show, I just don't want people to feel that they are so active in fighting.
However, what Ling Chen didn't expect was that Wang Qingyun actually found him at this time.
"Does Lao Yun have any good opinions?" Ling Chen asked Wang Qingyun while sorting out the books returned by the students. After all, finding him at this time, Ling Chen believed that Wang Qingyun already knew about this morning's events.
"Do you think I won't be unfamiliar with these things?" Wang Qingyun said with an expression that he was all under control.
"That's why I asked you if you have any good opinions?" Ling Chen also said as a matter of course.
"I've almost investigated the people who are eyeing you, and as for those who are still in the shadows, it depends on the performance after today. Wang Qingyun propped up the desk with both hands and continued: "That Dou Zi'an is a veteran gunman in the outer courtyard, specializing in recruiting rookies to collect some commissions. But he is wise to protect himself, and he has not joined any faction, which is really slippery. ”
seems to be disdainful, and seems to admire Dou Zi'an's personality, Wang Qingyun's words have an inexplicable taste.
The factions he worked with were also the mainstream and well-known factions of the Academy. For example: Hongfei, Xueyi, etc., it sounds like they are all decent cultivation factions, but most of them sell dog meat on the head of a sheep. It has created some people, but it has also created more people. ”
"Therefore, we must not offend this Dou Zi'an. However, since he does not belong to the major factions, it is actually the easiest point to solve. ”
"The real tricky ones are the two who came to find trouble today. ”
Wang Qingyun began to sort out the relationship between the two, and Ling Chen was still sorting out the books on the side, but he was listening very carefully and did not interject.
"They are the Wenfu faction of the Outer Court, and they say that they are Wenfu, but they are actually doing some black hand work. It has a bad reputation, but it's a place to do real things. Others pay, they contribute. I can't find the boss behind the scenes, and the talent who is staring at you behind your back is the trickiest. ”
Ling Chen's brows furrowed when he heard this, and the work in his hands stopped. If you are not afraid of thieves stealing, you are afraid of thieves, so it is not pleasant to be calculated all the time.
"Even if you win against them today, tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, more people will come to you for trouble. Wang Qingyun said helplessly.
"What should I do then, won't I fight?" Ling Chen's heart swelled with a burst of nameless anger. He didn't do anything wrong, it's just that someone wanted to use him to make a name for himself and trampled him under his feet. But Ling Chen is not a soft persimmon and will not let them handle it.
"No, it's going to be hit. Wang Qingyun said resolutely: "And you have to be heavy-handed." ”
"They dare to provoke you, it's just that they think that you are not worthy of your name and opportunistic when you win Ye Jingxuan. Therefore, you have to prove your strength and let others recognize your strength. ”
"But aren't they also instructed by others?" Ling Chen felt that there was no point in beating these hired people, and it was the people behind them who should really strike hard.
"They take people's money and eliminate disasters for others. You're all burning your eyebrows and you're in the mood to care about others? Slap them in the face to let them know you're not easy to mess with. Wang Qingyun was quite speechless, this Ling Chen is good at everything, but he is too indecisive. Kindness isn't a good thing at the moment.
"But what if this angers them?" Ling Chen asked rhetorically.
The so-called dog beating also depends on the owner, since they have beaten them, the people behind the scenes will definitely have the next move. If you are so endless, you will only suffer your own losses.
"Well, that's my second point. Wang Qingyun seemed to have been waiting for Ling Chen to ask for a long time, and immediately answered.
"It's not enough to have strength on your own, if you want to gain a foothold in this academy, you must also have a backer. ”
"Talking for a long time is not the same as saying it in vain. Ling Chen said angrily: "Do you have to join a faction to protect yourself?"
This kind of deformed rule restricts the thinking and action of too many people, but people are too soft-spoken. A big invisible hand covers too many people with active minds, and they are manipulated like puppets. If you want to break this rule, you must have enough strength to support it, otherwise it will just be an egg hitting a stone.
"Didn't you say it before, that Dou Zienke is a good shield. He can eat well in various factions, and naturally has the ability to crawl and roll. So you just have to get in touch with him and tie the two of you together without offending him. With him as a shield, I believe you can live a peaceful life. Wang Qingyun laughed evilly, as if everything was in his calculations.
"There must still be trouble, after all, I'm sure they won't be able to swallow this breath. ”
"A, B, C, D, four different levels, are the four watersheds. No one dares to cross the line to cause trouble, and no one dares to break this rule. So you can rest assured, I'll keep an eye on you from here in the inner courtyard, and no one on Lao Sheng's side will be willing to surrender their status, because they don't dare to do so. ”
"How can I be considered involved with him?" Ling Chen asked.
Dou Zi'an gave him the impression that he should be the kind of person who is easier to talk, although he didn't think that Dou Zi'an would help him, but he believed that he would not refuse so directly. After all, relatively speaking, they still have room for negotiation.
"I also checked Dou Zi'an, he was also introduced to one of the factions because of some students, but because of some unknown reasons, the two sides had a stalemate, which caused some friction between Dou Zi'an and them. Although they are all old forces, they have also developed some among the new students. You help him solve this matter, and he provides you with a place to rely on, win-win. He didn't lose anything substantial, and you just managed to defeat an enemy that you were supposed to defeat. Wang Qingyun stretched out his hand and said that Ling Chen should use this as a breakthrough.
"Besides, he has one of the most powerful cards, intelligence. If you can get his intelligence support, it will be a great help for you. ”
The more important the decision, the more important it is to rely on intelligence. Many people tend to only pay attention to the result of the victory, but ignore the effort put into it. The more information you know, the more you can take the lead and dominate.
"Your goal is to be the first person in the fourth level, so that you will have the highest right to speak. It is precisely because of the protection of the rules that we have the ability to challenge the rules. It's not us who are constrained by the rules, it's the group of people who have climbed halfway through, but are difficult to get up and down. ”
Wang Qingyun's words were thought-provoking and made Ling Chen unforgettable for a long time. Because it is true, because reality is what it is, it can make people feel the deeper meaning more.
Ling Chen has always admired Wang Qingyun, not only because of his mind and ability, but also because of his unique vision and insights into things, which has benefited people a lot. If there is really something great to do in the future, Ling Chen believes that he will be the one who will change the world.
"A Ye Jingxuan is nothing. Dust, your challenge is just beginning. Wang Qingyun patted Ling Chen's shoulder and said earnestly.
"But don't worry, I'm behind me, you can go to war!" patted his chest, Wang Qingyun instantly became proud again, righteous and cloudy.
"Poof!" Even Ling Chen couldn't help but laugh.
Yes, life is the result of struggle. Rightly or wrongly, victorious or defeated, you should always try to break through. Youth, there are still many opportunities to be wrong. Don't wait until you look back and regret not trying to make it this step in the first place. It's a pity, and it's not worth it.
"Alright, it's almost time after that. Hurry up and come back to eat after the fight, don't let the begging person wait in a hurry. Wang Qingyun said.
According to the current situation, everything that should be said has been clearly stated, and it depends on how the situation develops in the future, and then further plans are being formulated.
Ling Chen looked at the time, it was indeed almost time, it was time for him to get off work. After the handover was done, the two of them rushed to the martial arts arena side by side, talking and laughing.
To be honest, Ling Chen still had some expectations, I don't know what kind of battle they would use to receive him, and what choices would they make for those who were hiding in the shadows, or those who were watching around?
