As is often said, mountains and rivers may change, but a person's nature is hard to alter. It is truly difficult for someone to change themselves. When one cannot change and also cannot accept this reality, direct words from another can be deeply hurtful. And it was Chen Xue who spoke those words.
This woman had always been blunt, never considering the feelings of others, not even a little bit about what they might be thinking.
It was truly a sad state for a person to be in. One had to admit that he had accomplished things many could not, yet he was not easily respected. Those who did respect him were naturally not simple people.
The reasons for this were, of course, complex, so complex that one could not possibly understand them.
In reality, he was like a dead fish on a beach, trampled upon and looked down upon by everyone.
Because many of the residents in this area were wealthy and influential, each with assets worth over a hundred million, they looked down upon Ye Tiancheng when they saw him arrive in a pickup truck.
Many people despised him, even believing he deserved whatever misfortune befell him.
"I never expected to be treated like a rat here, reviled by everyone. It's truly pathetic, how laughable."
Ye Tiancheng couldn't help but mock himself, feeling that some people were truly lacking in insight.
Sometimes, certain matters held no significance for others because those individuals were always entrenched in their own views, never giving others' thoughts and perspectives any importance.
They always placed their own ideas in the highest position, just as they were doing now.
Those people always wished him ill fortune, wanting to see him disgraced. Among them were undoubtedly those with unique ideas and ulterior motives.
When Ye Tiancheng arrived, Chen Xue was already there. What she hadn't expected was that such a capable man would be driving a car that so ill-suited him.
Why was he driving a pickup truck? This was something Chen Xue desperately wanted to ask.
At this moment, he was facing problems as numerous as mountains…
"Stop asking so many unnecessary questions, alright?" Ye Tiancheng's face was etched with disdain.
This disdain completely led him astray.
"These people are truly quite detestable!" At this moment, he heard himself speak, his meaning self-evident.
For Ye Tiancheng, this was now a real-life tragedy.
"It's said that incompetent people babble in front of capable people. I truly feel like slapping these people!"
"Are you perhaps overthinking things?" Ye Tiancheng did not wish to waste many words with them in this place.
He just wanted to become even more powerful.
From this moment on, he was like a confused yet honest man.
While the others jeered, he did not get angry. Idle talk ceases with the wise. Now, Ye Tiancheng had a clear understanding of how frustrating these people were.
They claimed to be correct in everything they said, but in reality, they were profoundly wrong.
They hadn't even managed the most basic things properly, so why did they still have the audacity to be here?
Since they had no face to remain here, why did they need to utter so much nonsense?
"Because generally, we wait here when the event begins."
"And what about after the event ends?" Someone standing behind them suddenly asked. This person had been standing there silently from the beginning. It seemed they were truly detestable.
Why was he like this?
Even he himself could not comprehend or understand.
Some things truly could not be expressed clearly in words. The more one tried to express them, the more difficult it became to put them into words.
The aura that person exuded, Ye Tiancheng recalled, always made him feel that the person was formidable.
"Who are you?" Ye Tiancheng asked.
The person took a deep breath and said, "I cannot tell you!"
"Are you perhaps too timid?" Ye Tiancheng smiled, his expression conveying pity.
It was precisely because of this that he felt the saying "demons are a foot tall, but the righteous are ten feet tall" was applicable.
"Do not underestimate anyone." At this moment, people from the Black Clothes Society arrived.
Facing the words of this person from the Black Clothes Society, Ye Tiancheng finally understood that this person was a member of the Black Clothes Society.
Their appearance here was, therefore, natural. However, Ye Tiancheng did not know why they were present.
Because their presence made things seem incredibly difficult, Ye Tiancheng became even more silent.
"People from the Black Clothes Society, are you trying to snatch the market share of the Chinese medicine market here?" At this moment, Chen Yang appeared.
Facing Chen Yang, Ye Tiancheng didn't know what to say.
Was it not better to have some foresight?
Why did he have to state the problem so plainly?
It was truly exasperating.
"That's right, we from the Black Clothes Society naturally understand how to distribute profits. Even if you are unwilling to accept this reality, reality is reality, and reality will defeat you." The person from the Black Clothes Society said with a smile, his attitude extremely arrogant.
Seeing the person from the Black Clothes Society mock him, Ye Tiancheng did not wish to continue conversing with him.
Some people were not worth talking to further…
"Then we'll meet at the auction house!" Ye Tiancheng said and left, paying no mind to whether these people were happy or pleased. It was enough that he was pleased. As for how others felt displeased, it had little to do with him.
When this person became selfish, he appeared very unpleasant.
He always gave off a nauseating impression.
At this level, Ye Tiancheng appeared even more inclined to reciprocate.
If others wronged him, he would definitely wrong them in return.
No matter how one thought about it, some matters still required the ability to execute them. Without the ability to resolve this matter, it was, for him, something difficult to express in words. No one understood what Ye Tiancheng wanted to do.
Having so many industries, why did he now appear so low-class?
There was no other way. They needed Ye Tiancheng's help now, so they naturally dared not appear arrogant in front of him.
They treated every word Ye Tiancheng spoke as golden advice, even like a royal decree…
There was no other way. Perhaps some people were simply accustomed to viewing matters this way, seeing problems very simply. Ye Tiancheng could not accept this reality, nor did he like being misunderstood by such people. In his heart, his true thoughts were self-evident.
But in reality, he was observing their expressions. Only when these people truly articulated the problem would he take it seriously. If these people did not take the problem seriously, then Ye Tiancheng would not take these problems seriously either. Many times, he would think.
Perhaps he had truly mistaken his audience and should not have categorized these matters so simply. He should have properly categorized these matters into what he wanted to see. The crux of the issue was that no matter how serious the words he uttered,
in the end, they would become very relaxed and ordinary. Time was slowly slipping away, and those who wished to become more powerful bore very serious consequences in their hearts. The people in black had naturally seen this. He now seemed like a demon king.
Ye Tiancheng certainly would not waste their time with idle talk at this moment, because too much idle talk served no purpose.
The only thing that served a purpose was to make others feel that one was correct. Therefore, these people from the Black Clothes Society were truly disappointing.
They had the courage but not the ambition. Were they still considered men?
"In reality, they have been plotting something for a long time. It's very likely that you will be finished in the next step." Upon saying this, he saw the nervous expression on his face.
"If the key to the problem lies with us and we feel it is with us, then it's naturally easy to handle. If you make this matter look ugly, then we will also end up looking ugly." Ye Tiancheng stated undeniably.
How others viewed things was their business; how he viewed things was his own business. All the underlying reasons were within himself.
"I, Ye Tiancheng, do not wish to attribute all of this to myself. Those who should bear responsibility must absolutely bear it."
What he said was truly unreasonable.
Just as he reached the door, he was stopped.
It was a security guard. Ye Tiancheng had never seen this security guard before and assumed he was an intruder, which was why he was stopped. Seeing himself being stopped, he couldn't help but become annoyed.
When things are explained too clearly, they become confusing. It would be better to simplify these matters. He felt his mind was completely blank, as if he couldn't find any sensation.
Because he had unknowingly been controlled by mental abilities, what appeared in his mind was simply chaos. If a person was very chaotic, it indicated that they had significant problems.
Conversely, Ye Tiancheng did not want to overcomplicate the issue. He simply wanted to resolve these problems. The security guard did not allow him to enter, calling him a waste among wastes, trash among trash, because only those who had nothing would display themselves as having everything.
It was precisely this that made him detestable. The people from the Black Clothes Society saw Ye Tiancheng being stopped and couldn't help but laugh.
These people felt they were truly powerful. They had originally wanted to see him embarrassed, and now they finally did. How could this not make them happy? "I never thought you'd have a day like this."
"These people are truly too self-assured. They don't realize that the more self-assured they are, the more trouble they'll cause. In contrast, ordinary citizens like me are the law-abiding ones."
