Chapter 712: Laying the Foundation for Development
After determining the next direction of cultivation, Zhang Zhiping finally breathed a sigh of relief. Only with the goal and direction can he have the motivation to keep moving forward and avoid taking various detours.
But, how to sharpen your mood? Zhang Zhiping thought for a moment and then got the answer.
One is to comprehend various classics of sages, various schools of thought, Buddhist scriptures, and Buddhist scriptures. Each of them involves a lot of cultivation about the mind. Although he had kept these things in his mind before, he had never meditated them carefully. The various profound meanings involved the cultivation of a person's character and state of mind.
Another thing is that he needs to contact all kinds of different people. As the saying goes, the world is knowledge, and the human nature is proficient. If he comes into contact with more people, he will naturally experience various states of mind, so as to learn from his strengths and weaknesses, and strengthen his beliefs.
What's more, the development of modern society is not useless for the explanation of various qualities, qualities, etc. Every person who can succeed has certain advantages, especially those leaders at the top of all walks of life. Their state of mind is probably much stronger than most immortal cultivators. If they can cultivate immortals, they can also achieve extraordinary achievements.
"It seems that I am going to start from a brand new starting point now."
Zhang Zhiping muttered to himself with a smile on his face, with a strong sense of confidence, and with the things in his memory, he had already had a very high starting point in this society.
In the following days, Zhang Zhiping continued to practice Qigong without giving up, and also began to formulate a relatively reasonable rise plan for himself. In terms of career, he planned to quit his current job and start doing business. As the saying goes, no business is not businessman, although it is somewhat biased, it also shows that the businessman industry is complicated, and only when he is in politics and officials can compare with it.
It’s a pity that when he goes into politics, he is too restrictive and does not waste so much time, so relatively speaking, business is more suitable for him to sharpen his mind next.
However, he did not immediately start quitting his job, but made careful preparations. First, he pretended step by step that he seemed to have become interested in Chinese traditional culture. Starting from calligraphy, he signed up for several study classes and quickly showed his talent in this area. In just one month, the teachers in the class were amazed.
Then, he began to take various competitions and exams under the recommendation of his teacher. After achieving some results in the competition, he easily came into contact with many old seniors who were well-known in the calligraphy world. He joined the Calligraphy Association and greatly expanded his connections. Unconsciously, he spread his reputation in a small scale.
Of course, there were also some various conflicts during this period. In addition to the open and fire-ridden murderous battles in the world of immortal cultivation, modern battles are more like underwater tides. On the surface, they seem calm, but they involve confrontations of language, inner self, power, connections, etc.
One by one, one by one, was not hurtful but had hidden tricks, which made Zhang Zhiping feel relish and admired. His relationships, ways of dealing with things, etc., began to sharpen his past weaknesses.
Finally, he started with calligraphy, humbly accepted the guidance of all predecessors, and began to further contact the various traditional cultures, classics, classics, philosophical thoughts, etc. of China, and immediately showed extraordinary talent. Through the connections of predecessors in the calligraphy world, he contacted all the well-known masters of Chinese studies.
Through this method, he can be said to have already begun to come into contact with many literary masters. He humbly asked for advice while actively making friends, and constantly expanding his connections like a spider web, making many people who are paying attention to Chinese studies know that a new star is rising in Chinese studies.
Of course, this reputation is only limited to a specific circle, and there has been almost no reputation outside. Moreover, such unhurried and slow movements lasted for three years. It was really a long time for Zhang Zhiping, who wanted to quickly embark on the path of immortal cultivation.
However, all this is worth it. First of all, he has accumulated a lot of connections, which can be said to have laid a foundation for his future development. As the saying goes, there are great scholars in talking and laughing, but no white diving in contact. He often communicates with these people. He feels that his cultivation has greatly improved and his horizons have broader. Many descriptions in the classics correspond to reality one by one, making his perceptions more profound.
Then, after seeing that he was so studious and progressive, his parents gradually felt relieved, and took back one honor after another, making friends with one professor after another, which made them feel very proud. To use his father's bragging against others outside:
"My son is a cultural person, and my family will be the scholarly family in the future!"
In this way, Zhang Zhiping couldn't help but feel moved when he saw his parents' satisfied smiles and pride. Parents who work ordinary in the work actually have no high requirements. Their son has something worth boasting about, which is enough to satisfy them.
Of course, things like getting married and having children are still the knot in the hearts of the two elders, which made Zhang Zhiping, who often lamented that he was not in time, avoided it with a high vision and no job.
Yes, it was not until this time that Zhang Zhiping began to quit his job and was about to do business. Seeing the boss reluctantly looking at him, a good employee, he felt amused.
He loves everything and keeps his feet on the ground. Although he has been running around in the past three years, he has not given up his work at all. He has used what he has learned to handle everything in an orderly manner. Not only his job, but also through his literary literacy, he has won him a lot of face and often sits with guests, so that the other party unconsciously impresses his demeanor, thus making various negotiations very easy and bringing considerable benefits.
Of course, through the boss's link, he also met many local boss managers, which made him not too weak in business connections. What's more, who are those who learn Chinese culture all day long? Most of them are wealthy and belong to the upper class. They are either art-like or have officials at home, and those who do business can more or less contact them.
So until now, he can be said that everything is ready, but he only lacks the east wind. All joints have been opened. It is time to transform it into his own strength. The first step was that Zhang Zhiping started with antiques, cultural and artistic works. With his meticulous vision in his memory and some magical effects that qigong barely brought, he took a close chance of his move. Although he didn't make much money, he quickly stood firm.
