240. Disappointment
It's good now, the bitter fruit that Ted himself planted can only be borne silently by himself.
Listen to Ted constantly complaining about himself, and even blame the real culprit behind this on the icing on the cake.
Seeing this, Robin smiled.
Because Ted looks so cute now, even if he cheated on his current girlfriend Victoria.
Isn't there a saying that says, "Men are not bad, women are not loved."
The more you don't cherish something, the more you lose it, you may realize the preciousness of these things.
This may be what Robin is feeling in her heart now.
It was clear that in her eyes now, Ted was an existence that she didn't cherish before.
But what is lost is what is lost, and it may never be possible to go back to the past.
Looking at Ted, who was at a loss, Robin gave him a good idea.
That is to buy some small items that are representative of New York and send them to Victoria in Germany, such as some bagels, key rings from the Empire State Building, a replica of the Statue of Liberty (a smaller version, of course), and so on.
But the most critical one of them is that Ted wants to pretend to accidentally put a copy of the New York Times three days ago in it, so that Ted's lie will be perfectly solved.
After hearing this, Ted was full of praise for Robin.
This solved all his problems perfectly, and in this way, he finally escaped.
He also joked that he was still thinking about how to impress Robin not long ago.
But now Robin is helping him clean up the mess he has made, which is ironic if he says it.
When Robin heard this, he could only smile awkwardly.
In fact, Ted said this with deep meaning, he had already learned from Lily that Robin still had feelings for him, but it was a pity that creation made people.
He himself met his current girlfriend Victoria, and Ted was ready to settle down and go on with his girlfriend.
If nothing else, the two will get married, have children, and form his ideal family.
But what he never imagined was that his girlfriend Victoria went on a study tour in Germany thousands of miles away, which also interrupted all of Ted's plans.
Maybe this is what people say, "Man is not as good as heaven".
And the long-distance relationship between the two is not going very smoothly, which also makes Ted have strange emotions in his heart.
That's when his feelings for Robin are back.
In fact, maybe he has never given up this idea, but he buried everything deep in his heart.
But after all, Ted and Victoria haven't broken up yet, and Ted can only do his best to maintain this relationship.
Even if "men are not bad and women are not loved", the men in this sentence must at least be a little responsible.
......
That night, after Matthew and Barney talked, they didn't fall asleep until the second half of the night.
After hearing what Barney said, Matthew looked at Lily, who was snuggled up to him, who had insomnia tonight.
Although Barney said the truth was brutal and realistic, he was not rough.
To put it mildly, money can sometimes really make people bend their waists.
Otherwise, those so-called people who do not bend their waists will go down in history.
In addition to being spiritually wealthy, people also have the ability to ensure that they have no worries about food and clothing.
After a day and a night of tossing and turning, Matthew clumsily echoed the colleagues he worked with.
But his colleagues still make fun of him, which also makes Matthew retreat in his heart.
So he summoned up the courage to give Barney advice again, hoping to get a solution from him.
But Barney's answer deepens his expectations, and Barney says that Matthew will either feel sorry for himself, or he will learn to change his life and become more tactful.
When he got home, Matthew told Lily about the method, hoping to get some encouragement from her.
When Lily heard the news, she looked incredulous.
There were even objections.
Because she loves the current Matthew, the character of loyalty, honesty, warmth, and innocence, the most important thing is that he will not deceive and betray himself.
But Matthew puts it differently, quoting his favorite book "Days with Gorillas", which says that if you want to live (work) with them, you have to be like them to get their approval.
Matthew even calls this process an anthropological subject.
After hearing what Matthew said, Lily weakly said that it seemed to be peer pressure.
Especially when Lily attends the class reunion every year, this phenomenon is especially evident at the party.
Aristotle said that man is a social animal. Therefore, people cannot live in isolation from the group and society.
Peer pressure means that in order to gain affinity and respect, some people will do things that they feel they shouldn't do, or do things that they don't feel ready to do, in order to fit in with the people around them and become the people around them.
Such as participating in peer social activities (with friends, attending parties, concerts, school events, pursuing heterosexual relationships, etc.), inappropriate behavior (drugs, alcoholism, petty theft, vandalism, and minor delinquency), obedience to peer norms (dress, musical preferences, etc.), participation in school activities (study and extracurricular activities), and participation in family activities.
With the continuous development of society and the ever-increasing pace of life, few people can be completely unaffected by peer pressure.
Hearing this, Matthew hurriedly retorted that this was an anthropological topic.
He even forcibly argued that he was just playing the role of a person who succumbed to peer pressure, and that he was just studying these people.
Maybe I can be like that doctor, and be able to publish a book or something.
Lily, who loves her fiancé deeply, can only hold back the worries in her heart, and has no choice but to agree to Matthew's request.
However, one thing to make clear is that you should never learn to smoke with them just because you want to be like them.
Matthew humorously said, "Unless I'm drunk!"
Lily was very satisfied with her fiancé's answer.
But what she didn't expect was that what happened next made her deeply regret that she shouldn't have agreed to Matthew's request in the first place.
In order to better integrate into the environment of his own company, Matthew could only consult a person who was a master in interpersonal relations - Barney.
Barney looked excited when he heard the news.
I finally have a "successor" in this ability, and I don't have to worry about my unique skills being lost.
Gu Zhen then trained Matthew in the bar by Barney, but he still underestimated the difficulty of this.
But what kind of person is Barney, he belongs to the kind of person who breaks through the south wall and doesn't look back, and his personality is very stubborn.
Otherwise, he would not have lived in the big city of New York, relying on his heart of never admitting defeat.
So Barney patiently taught Matthew.
You must know that even for those beautiful girls, he has never been so concerned.
And Matthew's performance did not disappoint him, in the following days, Matthew was very comfortable in the company, and most of his colleagues got along very well, and even the people in the legal department were ready to recommend Matthew to the company's personnel department, and when he graduated, Matthew could come directly to their company.
You must know that although Barney's company does not have a good reputation in the industry, it can be seen from the huge number of lawsuits they receive every year.
But these companies are a large enterprise after all, and it can be said that Matthew can officially join them after graduation.
It's really hard to find!
The profession of a lawyer is based on experience, just like playing an online game.
The more lawsuits you fight, the more experience you have, and the faster you will grow, so your fame and income will naturally rise.
Of course, there is a premise for this, and the more lawsuits you win, the better, otherwise why would people invite you?
Since this company receives so many lawsuits every year, the more cases Matthew can participate in, even if it is to collect some information for those companies on the side, he can learn a lot from it.
The style of doing things, the strategy of dealing with the other party, and the argument in court.
For a rookie like Matthew, these are simply "pulling out seedlings to help grow".
When many big cases first enter the workplace, there are actually mentors behind them.
Otherwise, how could they stand out from so many competitors?
In addition to its own excellence, it is that there are many lawsuits, so it is naturally handy.
So why are there so many lawsuits, and they are not arranged by the mentor behind them openly or secretly.
Matthew has become more and more comfortable in the company, and even called some of his colleagues brothers.
No, at home, he still talks and talks with his so-called friends on the phone.
Lily, who was painting, couldn't help but have a displeased expression when she looked at Matthew's hanging appearance.
Yes, Lily has not given up on her dream, which is her dream of becoming a great artist.
It's a pity that I don't know if it's because she didn't meet her, or if she's really mediocre in talent, so far she hasn't gotten a good opportunity.
But whenever she is resting at home and has nothing to do with her after vacation, she will draw a few pictures at home.
And Matthew is the one in charge of the show.
She even gave her elaborate creations to many friends.
As a liberal arts student, John actually has a certain level of appreciation.
If it weren't for the systematic task, John would have really thought about moving towards a career as an artist.
There is a sullen heart under every reserved appearance, and who can compare to the so-called masters of art when it comes to sullenness?
In recent years, in addition to the entertainment industry, the art circle is also making money very quickly.
Compared with the previous illegal activities, the two are not on the same level at all.
What kind of wine pond meat forest, bright lights, drunk gold fan, but unfortunately all these fantasies have gone with the wind.
John can still see from Lily's works that Lily's talent is really limited, and most of her works still have traces of the works of those famous masters in history, and she is just copying, completely losing her own style.
It is also possible that she may not have developed her own unique style now.
Although most artists start by copying the works of great masters, they will inevitably show their own unique style in the middle of their artistic career.
As the saying goes, "He who learns from me lives, and he who resembles me dies."
That's probably what it means.
The profession of an artist is not much different from ordinary work, and it also has a golden age.
Rather than the older you live, the more exquisite your work will appear.
And Lily is now in the golden age of her life, and has not yet shown her artistic brilliance, which shows that her artistic career has come abruptly.
But Lily was a good friend of his own after all, and John naturally never mentioned it in front of everyone.
Maybe Lily, she'll be able to excite her thickly.
It's not unheard of this kind of thing, and there are quite a few of them.
There are still such masters in history.
In fact, John's qualifications in this regard have to be reared, because Peggy is the one who can speak a word.
In addition to Peggy's unparalleled talent in mathematics, her artistic attainments are actually quite extraordinary. Especially when it comes to drawing, in her opinion, mathematics and painting actually have something in common.
The famous painting master Xu Beihong once said: "Artists and mathematicians have the same spirit of seeking truth, studying science, and based on mathematics; I study fine arts, based on drawing." Sketching, in turn, is based on perspective (mathematics).
Cézanne, the "father of modern art", also said, "Everything in the world follows the shape of a cone, a column, and a square."
Leonardo da Vinci, Picasso, Escher and other famous painters used mathematics in their works.
Even mathematics and fine arts were closely combined, resulting in a new marginal discipline – fractal geometry – the study of infinitely complex geometry with self-similar structures.
To this end, John and Peggy accompany them on tours of the world's major museums.
John once joked to his girlfriend that if the two of them went bankrupt in the future, then he would be responsible for going out to perform the chest crushing boulder, and she would be responsible for drawing and sketching.
After hearing John's teasing, Peggy immediately gave her boyfriend a roll of the eye.
If nothing else, John's extravagant hope will not be fulfilled in this life.
.......
After the painting was finished, according to the old tradition between the two, Lily brought it to Matthew as usual and asked him to comment on it.
When Matthew saw this, he couldn't help but say in the tone of greeting himself and his colleagues, "Beef sauce (A1)!"
It means that it is very good. (Sun Country Wagyu beef is divided into A1~A55 grades according to the oil flower, and A5 is the highest)
But after Lily shook it directly, her face showed a very disappointed look.
