Chapter 239: Consolation
"Hey, aren't you going to dinner with us?"
Seeing that the father and son were leaving, Chen Lao asked in a little surprise.
"No, we brought bread here!" the middle-aged man laughed, "It's in the car!"
"Come along, I'll invite you!" said Boss Chen generously.
The middle-aged man refused with a smile and said, "I am not a person who eats 'food that comes from waste'. ”
Speaking of which, Chen Lao couldn't say anything more, so he had to separate.
In the car, Chen Lao saw that Tang Chen seemed a little sullen, and asked a little strangely, "Xiao Tang, what's wrong......?" Don't take it to heart, he is a generation that has experienced a different kind of traditional education, and he thinks that feng shui is a remnant of feudalism, and it doesn't make sense to persuade him. Isn't there a study that when people reach the age of twenty-five, their worldview is fixed. You can't convince someone whose worldview has been set in any way, and even he wants to convince you in reverse. But I'm sure that when he's in his sixties and has experienced more and more uncontrollable factors, he'll slowly embrace Feng Shui. ”
Tang Chen sighed: "Old Chen, I'm thinking, is it really good for me to choose this path?"
Chen Lao was stunned: "Why is it not good?"
"It's nothing, it's just that I feel like this profession, as soon as I say it, people will think of you as a liar...... It's not a good feeling!"
The dodge in Tang Chen's words, Chen Lao understood: "You mean that the social status is not high, right? Xiao Tang, you think badly about this." Think about it, what kind of class is that person just now?"
"He's a teacher, how can he say it's a solid family, right?" Tang Chen seemed to understand a little.
"That's right, such a class is enough in terms of food, clothing, housing and transportation, and it is very comfortable to travel and travel like us. But how much spare money do they have in their hands? This class comes to Mr. Feng Shui to look at Feng Shui, and it is impossible for you to expect him to give you hundreds of thousands, millions of dollars, tens of thousands of dollars is too much. Chen Lao smiled, "Do capable feng shui masters still care about these small money? In the same way, since they don't believe it, we just don't do business with them." ”
"But the society looks at us ......" Tang Chen still has some concerns.
"We don't care about the opinions of a small group of people at all, and our reputation is not something that this small group of people can hide. Chen Lao Zhengse said, "As long as you have the ability and professional ethics, wherever you go, there will be rich people who will recognize you." The more wealthy the circle, the more they will understand the role of Feng Shui, and you don't need to waste your tongue at all, as long as you come up with the corresponding strength. ”
Tang Chen didn't understand: "But isn't it really important what ordinary people think?"
Chen Lao hit the nail on the head and said: "On the contrary, the opinions of ordinary people are very important!"
"Then why don't you care about the opinions of this small group of people?" Tang Chen was a little confused by Old Chen, and on the crooked mountain road, he had to slow down the speed of the car to think about this problem.
"It's easy to understand, there aren't many middle-class families like this in China, so I say it's just a small group of people. Such a middle-class family, they have only experienced a better education, and have worked hard to reach this class. Just because they have knowledge doesn't mean they have it. You know, there are many things in the world that science can't explain, and Feng Shui is just that. So it doesn't matter if they don't understand, as long as ordinary people understand that there is such a thing. Chen Lao said with a smile.
Tang Chen was even more confused: "The middle class doesn't believe it anymore, but ordinary people will believe it?"
"That's the crux of the matter. Chen Lao lowered his voice, "Xiao Tang, if you carefully recall, are the uprisings of all dynasties accompanied by a certain superstitious color? For example, Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, had to kill the white snake; Chen Sheng and Wu Guang fortresses entered the belly of the fish; wasn't the Yellow Turban Rebellion still instigated through Zongjiao? From ancient times to the present, ordinary people are the easiest to believe in these things, so in order to strengthen their beliefs, Feng Shui has also been surrounded by many superstitious and mysterious things. In fact, removing these things, Feng Shui is still Feng Shui. ”
Tang Chen seemed to understand a little: "Old Chen, what do you mean, ordinary people are so confused?"
"It's okay to say that it's easy to be fooled, but it is accurate to say that ordinary people are more likely to believe in Feng Shui. On the contrary, people with some knowledge will doubt Feng Shui. Chen Lao sighed and said, "This is also a helpless thing, who says that Feng Shui has not yet had a complete scientific explanation? But this part of the people does not represent everyone's meaning, and it is the rich class who really have the right to speak." As long as the rich class believe, we are blessed, aren't we?"
Tang Chen nodded and continued to ask, "But in this way, wouldn't the social status of a feng shui master be very low?"
"Do you really think it's low?" Chen Lao was very surprised, "Think about it, how many big bosses worth more than 100 million yuan have to grovel to you, such a low social status?"
Tang Chen was also stunned for a moment, and then said to himself, "That's right!"
"Xiao Tang, I just said it, don't care about the eyes of ordinary people, just do a good job of yourself. As long as you are strong, someone will definitely give you enough respect. Chen Lao said earnestly, "No matter which dynasty or generation, the truly powerful feng shui master is the guest of the wealthy and noble, and even the emperor must be honored as the 'national teacher' when he sees it." Those with low social status are just gods and liars in our industry. ”
Tang Chen understood: "Old Chen, I understand, I was stunned just now. ”
"Don Jr., you have a lot of potential. Chen Lao said approvingly, "As long as you maintain a heart that is not arrogant or impatient, and keep improving, one day you will reach the realm of transformation." ”
Tang Chen smiled bitterly: "Old Chen, don't praise me, I just shook my confidence, do you want to continue to develop this industry......"
"Why not?" asked Chen Lao rhetorically, "Is it because there is less money?"
"It's a lot of money, but it's ......" Tang Chen didn't know how to say it.
"If you have money, your social status is not high?" Chen Lao teased in a tone full of wisdom, "After you buy a luxury car and drive out, who do you think will look down on you?"
"Old Chen, there are a lot of people who hate the rich in this society......"
"Fart, this can only be said behind his back, do you think he dares to say it in front of you? It's not a person, I can't wait for you to look at him twice, and then climb up the pole and ask for some benefits?" The capital of our feng shui master is our feng shui strength. As long as you have excellent strength, you will be able to exchange money and the respect of others! Face is not given by others, but earned by yourself! If you are an ordinary person who has no skills, why should others give you face?"
Tang Chen was still skeptical: "Why don't you feel unreliable?"
Old Chen's eyes glared: "Unreliable? Is it reliable to say a lot of reasons to cover up problems like what is said on TV?"
Tang Chen didn't dare to argue any longer, and saw that Wang Dongxu's car had slowed down and drove into a restaurant, so he hurriedly followed: "Old Chen, let's eat first, and then discuss this issue after eating......
