Chapter 323 The Frog in the Well and the Mayfly Seeing the Blue Sky!
After experiencing this technical exposition meeting, the atmosphere in the office reached its peak.
The Experts gathered in twos and threes in front of the office desks, their eyes gleaming with fanatical light.
They looked at the basin of clear water with floating lotus leaves, looked at the black Fishing Rod, and were still discussing it with lingering interest.
Meanwhile, in the corner.
Wang Dachui, who had watched the whole process, was motionless at this moment.
His nearly two-hundred-pound, obese body was hunched over on a small stool, lost in a long silence.
According to his usual habits, by the time this grand drama came to an end, he should have already jumped up in excitement or grabbed a handful of melon seeds to savor the aftermath contentedly.
But now.
He was no longer cracking melon seeds.
Nor was he taking any more notes.
That little notebook he regarded as a treasure was just left casually on his knees.
Wang Dachui's pair of mung-bean eyes had lost their usual restless darting and had become somewhat dazed.
Because he felt there was something he hadn't fully grasped.
In the past half hour or so, as the only informed spectator, he had indeed been marveling the entire time.
Because he only felt shock.
However.
He couldn't quite figure out why exactly this performance by Factory Director Li was so shocking.
This feeling was extremely uncomfortable, like seeing a world-class dish, knowing it was incredibly delicious, yet being completely unable to distinguish what precious seasonings were inside.
This caused him, a person who had made it his mission to learn Factory Director Li's techniques for showing off, to feel a deep sense of frustration.
Wang Dachui's brain began to run at an overload.
He replayed everything that happened today, from when Liu Jianguo stormed in aggressively, all the way to when the last worker carrying a lotus leaf left.
All the scenes, all the dialogues, all the twists.
Were all playing back crazily in his mind like a revolving lantern.
...
Suddenly.
Because at this moment, he had completely connected all the clues of the entire grand drama!
The core logical chain hidden beneath countless coincidences and conflicts became incredibly clear at this moment.
Wang Dachui's pair of small eyes widened abruptly.
He finally understood why it was so shocking!
And this grand performance of showing off was ten thousand times more impressive than he had imagined!
He frantically reviewed it in his mind.
He understood.
The reason it was so shocking was that Li Jiajun had treated everyone who appeared as his tools for showing off!
Not a single person was superfluous.
Not a single segment was filler.
Everyone was led by the nose by Li Jiajun, perfectly completing their own part of the script.
Wang Dachui began to deconstruct the roles of these "tools" one by one in his mind.
First.
Liu Jianguo, Director Liu, was his tool.
Wang Dachui recalled the scene at the very beginning.
Li Jiajun deliberately put on a double act with Liu Jianguo, one playing the innocent Factory Director who was being wronged, and the other playing the furious, accusatory high-ranking leader.
The two of them were arguing fiercely there, passing the buck to each other.
This intense opposition between a top-tier bigwig and a factory director immediately maximized the drama of this performance.
This was the perfect opening line, immediately grabbing everyone's attention tightly.
...
Then.
He then had Wang Dachui point out the shipping mix-up in public.
Thinking of this, Wang Dachui couldn't help but swallow.
He only just realized it now.
When Li Jiajun suddenly turned his head and accused him with that furious tone of not seeing the recipient clearly.
It was actually him deliberately adding a scene for him!
Li Jiajun, through this seemingly angry act of passing the buck, logically made himself a part of the showing-off game.
It was like throwing a huge rock into a calm surface of water, instantly escalating what was originally just a conflict between two people into an internal mix-up event with elements of suspense.
This kind of plot twist was simply silky smooth to the extreme!
Then again.
It was Elder Qian and the Experts.
Wang Dachui looked at the bigwigs in the distance who were still marveling.
These people were audience members with enough weight.
If not for them.
Even if Li Jiajun bragged about that Fishing Rod until the cows came home, even if he explained those bionics theories as thoroughly as possible.
It would just be casting pearls before swine.
Only with national treasure-level scientists like Elder Qian, and Aerospace Experts specializing in various cutting-edge fields.
Only when they were dumbfounded by shock, only when they gasped in cold air after seeing through the truth.
Could the gold content of this grand performance be truly raised to the peak!
They were not there to watch a show.
They were pulled over by Li Jiajun to use their illustrious status and profound knowledge to provide the most authoritative endorsement for this grand performance!
...
Finally.
Which was the stroke that most amazed Wang Dachui.
It was those seemingly simple workers.
This was the core essence of the chain-reaction showing off!
Wang Dachui was frantically marveling in his heart.
Li Jiajun first pretended to be humble, refusing to admit in front of Elder Qian and the Experts that he had any heaven-defying technology.
He attributed everything to luck, saying it was all a coincidence.
This extreme low profile whetted the Experts' appetites to the fullest.
Then.
At this moment, he "arranged" for these workers to come out one by one.
Carrying tattered spider webs.
Wearing greasy aprons.
Carrying fresh lotus leaves.
Letting these workers, who were at the very bottom of society and couldn't even pronounce physics terms correctly, expose the truth in the most simple and honest way!
This kind of contrast.
This kind of dimensionality reduction attack.
This interlocking chain, it was simply too impressive!
Having understood all this.
He was naturally even more shocked, to an unparalleled degree.
...
Wang Dachui sat on the small stool, his whole body trembling slightly.
This was a trembling caused by catching a glimpse of the truth.
At this moment, a deep realization surged in his heart.
'If you do not learn to show off, seeing Factory Director Li is like a frog in a well gazing at the moon in the sky.'
'You only feel that Factory Director Li's show-off is shocking.'
'But.'
'If you learn to show off, seeing Factory Director Li is like a mayfly seeing the blue sky!' Such a thought emerged in his heart.
This gap was no longer a matter of talent.
This was a crushing of realms.
He himself was a prime example.
When he didn't understand, he only felt that Factory Director Li's show-off was shocking, thinking it was just a coincidence.
Now that he understood the principle, it was simply breathtaking, like seeing the blue sky.
Wang Dachui took a deep breath, feeling his soul had been sublimated.
He picked up the little notebook on his knees again and solemnly turned it to a brand-new page.
He felt that what he learned today was enough to benefit him for a lifetime.
He also felt that today's events should be settling down and coming to an end.
