Chapter 0649: Smart People

"Jiang Wen, that guy, isn't actually that smart," Zhao Fusheng said slowly to Zhou Yun.

Zhou Yun was taken aback. Clearly, she hadn't expected Zhao Fusheng to evaluate Jiang Wen like that. Not very smart—what kind of evaluation was that?

If the two of them hadn't been drinking together until they were dead drunk the night before, she would have even doubted whether they were actually friends. Who evaluates a good friend like that?

This was an evaluation that was harsh to the extreme!

Seeing Zhou Yun's delicate brows furrow slightly, Zhao Fusheng smiled faintly. "What, do you think my words are biased?"

Since he asked, Zhou Yun nodded honestly. "I can't quite figure it out. Aren't you two friends?"

Zhao Fusheng chuckled. "Who told you that friends have to praise each other? Old Jiang and I are friends, that's true, but even if we're friends, it has nothing to do with my evaluation of him."

Zhou Yun was startled for a moment, but she nodded lightly. What Zhao Fusheng said made a lot of sense.

After thinking for a moment, she said to Zhao Fusheng, "According to what you mean, Jiang Wen isn't a smart person. Then do I still need to interact with him?"

Clearly, a person who isn't smart will have a hard road ahead, after all, in the entertainment industry, there are too many smart people.

Zhao Fusheng smiled slightly. "Zhou Yun, you need to understand that smart people have a flaw, a very fatal flaw. That is, when danger comes, smart people always choose to avoid it. Because they are smart enough, sometimes they can dodge the danger. Unlike those who aren't smart enough, knowing they can't avoid it, they grit their teeth and push through. Once, twice, after many times, the not-so-smart become tenacious and won't give up easily..."

"As for smart people, they keep avoiding danger. Over time, in their eyes, everything in the world can be solved by avoidance. When faced with difficulties, their first reaction is to protect themselves and dodge."

"Do you know what problem this can cause?"

Zhao Fusheng looked at Zhou Yun and said slowly.

Zhou Yun blinked and nodded. "I understand. Once they fail, it might destroy this smart person."

"Not only that." Zhao Fusheng laughed. "If a person likes to protect himself, then if he's with you and encounters difficulties, his first reaction will also be to protect himself. What will you do then?"

"A person who emerges after enduring hardships is far stronger than someone who relies solely on clever tricks, both in mind and character."

Zhao Fusheng concluded with a final sentence to Zhou Yun.

Zhou Yun seemed thoughtful. After sitting for a while, she got up and took her leave.

Watching her back, a faint smile appeared on Zhao Fusheng's lips. He had to admit, that guy Jiang Wen really had charm. It hadn't been long, and Zhou Yun already had his shadow in her heart. If it were him, he definitely wouldn't have that ability.

"What are you thinking about?"

Fan Baobao saw Zhao Fusheng smiling inexplicably and couldn't help asking.

Zhao Fusheng smiled and shook his head. "Nothing, just thinking that Zhou Yun and Jiang Wen's affair is probably a done deal."

"That's true, but I feel something's off about you saying that about Jiang Wen." Fan Baobao looked at Zhao Fusheng suspiciously. Usually, this guy wasn't the type to casually gossip about others behind their backs.

Zhao Fusheng chuckled. "Of course, there's actually another half of that speech I didn't finish. If a person's cleverness is strong enough to solve any problem, then that itself is a powerful force, unrelated to diligence—it's a matter of talent."

"Like you?"

Fan Baobao blinked and asked tentatively.

Zhao Fusheng grinned but didn't respond, instead turning his gaze back to the TV to watch current affairs news.

He didn't plan to interfere too much in Jiang Wen and Zhou Yun's affair, letting them develop on their own. Even knowing that the two would eventually end up together, Zhao Fusheng didn't care. Since his rebirth, he had already met many big shots, even dealing with a few giants of the internet era. Both Jiang Wen and Zhou Yun were just relatively special but not particularly significant figures.

Winds follow the tiger, clouds follow the dragon. Every tycoon's rise accompanies changes in the times. Only when the world changes can someone seize the opportunity to stir up the clouds. If everything is calm, even with immense talent, one can only stay home and be an ordinary person.

For example, without the internet, both Ma Xiaoyun and Ma Laoban would at most be programmers or translators. Both Alibaba and Tencent could only be their dreams.

Dreams, when realized, are beautiful. If not realized, they are often called wishful thinking.

Fan Baobao didn't go to the set today. After all, she wasn't the lead, just an extra, occasionally playing roles like passerby A or B. When needed, she'd fill in; when not, she'd stay home obediently.

Zhao Fusheng was used to this. Being an actor was like that—busy times left no time to rest, wishing for 24 hours to be 48. Free times left nothing to do, eating and sleeping without knowing what else to do.

"So boring..." Fan Baobao sat on the sofa, seeing Zhao Fusheng ignore her and watch TV, couldn't help muttering.

"Then call Sister Hua and say you want to work."

Zhao Fusheng smiled and said to Fan Baobao.

"No use. Sister Hua said she won't arrange any ad shoots for me recently, afraid it'll affect the movie..." Fan Baobao said with a grimace.

She hadn't expected that Wang Jinghua actually thought her being in the "Good Dream One Day" crew was training, and actually stopped her ad shoots. Her original intention was just to reduce them.

Hearing this, Zhao Fusheng frowned. He didn't believe Wang Jinghua didn't understand the situation. It seemed she wasn't as wary of him as before.

Or rather, after hitching her wagon to Huayi, Wang Jinghua felt she no longer needed to act as she had before.

Thinking about it, it was normal. After all, everyone's thoughts change at different times, especially when their status changes, the angle from which they consider things also changes.

The simplest example: a poor person who can't afford food won't consider whether to eat steamed buns or rice tonight. As long as there's food, they'll be happy.

Conversely, when that person becomes a millionaire, they won't consider what to eat at night, but whether the food suits their taste.

In this world, the easiest thing to change is the human heart.
