Chapter 75 Gossiping about tea
August 28, 1990, afternoon tea time.
Kane has recently chosen to get out of his busy schedule. He has free time and wants to please Catherine, so he will spend afternoon tea together.
In addition to exquisite refreshments, afternoon tea also requires music and flowers to embellish.
The song must be melodious and elegant, and the flowers must be clear and fragrant.
But Kane has not studied these things in fact.
He is a master who cannot be idle, busy with life in his previous life and career in this life.
The Chinese people in the era when he grew up were already built with a core of high-speed operation, and his experience in the Wanxiang Gate system strengthened the characteristics related to "forwardness".
A sense of vigilance, a sense of mission, a paranoia of victimization... These things make him feel like a machine with a clockwork, so busy that he is so busy that he has become accustomed to this kind of busyness and the achievements he has achieved through busyness.
His values made him feel that this was a kind of noble character, and that people should live like this without wasting themselves.
Then, afternoon tea naturally becomes a petty bourgeois mood, and represents the pain of being idle and lazy. How could he spend time studying and taking care of it?
The function of afternoon tea should have been to allow people to feel the peace of mind and family-style warmth in an elegant atmosphere, thereby easing the fatigue of the day.
But when you get to Kane, it becomes time to read information.
Many bosses have the habit of reading newspapers. Those who play business read the economic daily, those who play politics read reference information, and those who play intelligence website read the summary of information, and they feel like they are commanders of the Jinyiwei, or the governor of the East Factory.
Anyway, he would not read the newspaper. In his words, "Those are novels or words that have been chewed at least once. They are either added with emotional humanistic seasonings, or they are subjectively taken out of context or theme processing. They are neither plain nor truthful. Only those who lack credible news channels will regard it as a standard, then use it as an argument, process it through their own preferences, and then talk to others. This is spreading rumors."
Sometimes Catherine hates Kane's nitpicking, which is simply the king of truth. She is exaggerated when reading a newspaper, but it is a bit of a fallacy, making people lack interest in those activities that originally thought it was good.
However, Catherine still felt that her son was the most outstanding in the world. She had become accustomed to Kane's strong personal style and even felt it was very warm.
After all, Kane has always been cold and silent in front of most outsiders.
Or you need to express your attitude and meaning, understand people's hearts, speak sharply, and talk freely.
Only in front of people close to you will complain and complain, and of course sometimes you will express your emotions clumsyly.
This last point is often funny, but also very likeable, at least Katherine likes it. She knows that Kane loves her deeply, and it is rare for a person who has Su Hui and has been used to death and killing since childhood.
After looking at Kane with a doting look, Katherine deliberately picked up the Prophet Daily and took a few glances, then said: "They placed Stanley's old photos in the most conspicuous place. The article gives people the feeling that Stanley is the main target of this prison robbery, and the previous dark king Grindelwald was actually taken by a word."
Kane put down the report in his hand, drank a sip of black tea, and said coldly: "Some people have not seen the various efforts of the Shafik family in their efforts to achieve success. They only have the rise and wealth written by the Shafik family."
"Apart from jealousy and self-pity, there is nothing worth mentioning about the weak. They will not turn envy into motivation to find their own path to success. Instead, they stumbled on the same days that were neither planned nor promising. When they had time, they fantasized about why it was not themselves who got rich, just like this kind of thing, like winning lottery tickets, mainly relying on luck."
"The mentality of such people is somewhat distorted. They are often the ones who use imagination as facts and speak nonsense. They are the favorite readers of newspapers and magazines that like to create gimmicks. Without them, it would be difficult for them to make some decent news tomorrow."
Catherine covered her mouth and sneered, saying, "You are too exaggerating."
"I think it's the truth." Kane explained: "Most wizards live alone, basically self-sufficient, and have very little dependence on the outside world. Such a lifestyle, like the farm farmer in the past, wouldn't care about who your king is? Or what happened to a great noble family? It's too far away. When you have free time, you can listen to it from the passing bards as a topic of conversation. When you are busy, who will love die? It's better to be tight on the land that has not been watered yet. With such an attitude, who will the newspaper show show?"
Catherine said: "Let us see a lady who has more free time?"
Kane ruthlessly exposes: "Since the Victorian era, women with certain social status, more accurately, British women represented by idle ladies, most often do is to use their afternoon leisure time to talk about other people's private lives under the fragrance of tea. At that time, newspapers with serious mainstream styles were not the choice of women."
"Okay, you actually dare to arrange your mommy and say I'm a gossiping woman. Let's see how I deal with you." Catherine said and rushed forward with her turn.
Kane immediately looked confused, saying it was OK, why did he start the full martial arts?
So he was ravaged by Catherine without any preparation.
The face was squeezed between breasts and squeezed and rubbed back and forth, which made Kane very embarrassed. Catherine's words: "Do you want to eat breasts?" made the name of "Death Star Lord" broken up and could not even be swept.
Kane seemed to see this scene:
He stood on the high platform, and below was an endless army of iron-blooded insects. The flags flew and the atmosphere was solemn. Just when the master gave the order, he immediately burned the city and destroyed the country, buried millions of corpses, and drifted blood.
Then suddenly I heard someone shouting with a loudspeaker: "Boss, your mother called you to go home and have breastfeed..."
Fortunately, this fight was as always as ever, no outsiders saw it, otherwise that person would definitely be on Kane's quick kill list or the list of Forgetful Curse practice targets.
There is a past here. Kane, who has Su Hui, has never eaten human milk since he was a child. He could not speak at that time. He insisted on crying to make Catherine understand that drinking milk and rice soup, but don’t let her go.
This later became the handle for Catherine to tease the Caines.
This fight ended with Catherine's great victory also interrupted some of what Kane wanted to say.
Jealousy leads to distorted mentality. Some people say frivolously, treating the Shafik family as the comedian who relies on entertaining themselves and making fun of others, and making comments at will.
Even when the atmosphere is open and the president is often made fun of, or in America thirty years later, talk show hosts are not dared to be the target of entertainment, and they make fun of it without any depth or shallowness.
The Shafik family is now rich but not powerful. Although most wizards already know that there are strong people behind the Shafik family, it is a red line. The majesty of the conventional category has not yet been established, so it is taken out repeatedly as a salad-like tune.
This naturally made him unhappy, but when he thought about it again, he decided to hold back his anger. A tough opponent had already reached out, and if the incident broke out in the conventional category, it would be a full-scale outbreak. It would immediately push the Shafik family to the forefront of public opinion. Those guys who had long been unable to bear it will also wait for an opportunity to take action. After a fight, it would be a series of big battles.
This is not good. His iron-blooded worm group has not yet been launched, and it is too much to lose now.
It's best after three years, or four years later.
When Voldemort is resurrected, there is that guy who is a target, Shafik's style will be more sharp and will be accepted by people.
"Why would you help Grindelwald? Voldemort, whose IQ is not online, is uncontrollable. If you come to Shafik's family to occupy the nest and try to get rich overnight, then should you kill him? Or, kill him?"
