CHAPTER 1202: CHAPTER 168 THE PILGRIM’S SOUL (FINAL CHAPTER)_6

Kevin glanced at the first row again, noticing that no one was paying attention to them, he lowered his voice too and said.

"It’s precisely because he’s over seventy that Chan invited him to go hunting!"

At first, Benny didn’t quite understand, but later on, he was completely taken aback.

Wow, mixing in the California Elephant Party is indeed an elite game!

"And what about your injury... were you bitten by the prey?"

"Not exactly, at the time, Mr. Charles was an excellent shot, he hit a rabbit, but didn’t kill it.

I saw the prey was about to run, so I ran up to chase it for Mr. Charles, I chased and chased.

Then, ’bang’!"

The two were quite close, Kevin’s ’bang’ startled Benny.

"What happened? Did you fall?"

Kevin, forcing a bitter smile, said.

"Chan was worried I wouldn’t catch up, so he shot at the rabbit again... and then, well...

Actually, Chan was trying to help me, he meant well, but his shot was too accurate and hit my hand.

But it wasn’t a serious injury, Chan’s a good shot, just a graze, only a graze."

Benny almost couldn’t hold it in.

Kevin, you’re really something.

Chasing prey, isn’t that the dog’s job?

You’re competing with a dog for work?

Seriously!

But after silently complaining, Benny took note of it—there are big shots at bootlicking within the party, he needs to step up his game in the future.

"So... did Chan feel particularly sorry?"

Kevin was being so over-the-top that Benny had trouble finding the right words.

"Yes, he felt really sorry about it, and gave me two big slaps on the face."

Kevin said, finding humor in his bitterness, he didn’t dare curse at Boss Cheng, let alone betray the party, the only thing he could do was try to find humor in his misfortune.

"Why did he hit you?"

Benny was stunned.

He didn’t understand, neither Kevin’s sycophancy nor the boss’s ruthlessness.

"Why? He said, if it wasn’t for me getting in the way, he would’ve shot the rabbit dead already."

Kevin finally couldn’t hold it in anymore, hatred showed on his face.

Damn capitalists!

How ruthless is Boss Cheng? How dark his hand?

Got shot, huh?

Perfect, especially with Charles Koch here.

Boss Cheng used Kevin as a sacrificial lamb in front of Charles, giving him two big slaps to cheaply demonstrate his prowess to Charles.

How to say this—it was incredibly effective!

"Um..."

It took Benny a few spins of his brain to come up with something to say.

"Why not just prepare two dogs for him?"

Kevin was too busy internally cursing Boss Cheng to hear clearly, he asked back.

"What? You said get two dogs?"

"Yes, a dog’s nose is so keen, it can find prey." Benny explained.

"Yes, a dog’s nose is keener than mine." Kevin agreed.

"Also, dogs run faster than you."

"Yes, dogs do run faster than me."

"And, dogs are more intuitive than you."

"Right, dogs are more intuitive... No, wait, I think I’m more intuitive than a dog?"

Kevin realized something was off.

Realizing he inadvertently spoke his mind, Benny quickly explained.

"Of course, of course, I meant hunting dogs are better at chasing prey, you misunderstood."

In truth, Benny held a considerable contempt for Kevin’s behavior.

Chasing a rabbit?

You’re the only one who’d actually do that!

You really are more intuitive than a dog!

"Stop! That’s enough!"

Boss Cheng loudly halted the speaker’s presentation, drawing everyone’s attention to him.

Benny and Kevin stopped their nonsense and looked over.

Tiffany was startled by Boss Cheng’s sudden interruption, while Wolf frowned.

"Today’s guests did well, splendidly, and prepared thoroughly.

But I have one request, we’re funding your research to promote the progress and development of cutting-edge sociological research.

However, when it comes to sharing and exchanging, I prefer to hear more about macro-level content, rather than endless micro and subdivision.

Of course, Professor, I have no objections to you, from the perspective of research, you are all academic elites; I’m just an outsider.

The problems in reality are complex, they are connected, and the problems political leaders face are no different.

Academic micro and subdivision research is a product of a complex modern social science research system, but is there a factor of actively leaning towards this direction to quickly produce results? I think there is.

But micro and subdivision research can’t help us on a macro level, that’s what’s most regrettable."

The professor on the stage was a bit at a loss, he braced himself to rebut.

"Sir, macro research often presents different results due to differing narrative and research systems, macro researchers in social sciences, however skilled, cannot cover every detail.

Modern society is complex, moving our research toward subdivision is a demand for professionalism and objectivity, whereas overemphasizing macro and interconnection blurs specific issues, quickly reducing the significance and credibility of conclusions."

Silence, an overwhelming silence.

Wolf’s lips curled into a smile.

Pretending much?

Got slapped in the face, didn’t you?

You also know you’re an outsider, so why pretend?

"Professor, I don’t need standard answers, I need various possibilities and the logic and process behind them.

As for the significance and objectivity of conclusions, I believe objectivity doesn’t exist, it’s limited by humans themselves, the subjects of cognition.

Significance, well, that’s for you professors to consider as a direction.

In conclusion, the institute’s funding in the future will lean more towards the macro aspects.

Times are developing, the world is changing, the future is unseen.

You acknowledge the complexity of modern society, this very complexity itself drives us, forces us to find new, metaphysical abstract theories adaptable to the level of modern social development and contradictions.

This process is destined to be bumpy, after all, there is no truly unchanging conclusion or direction, we must advance, explore, continue advancing, exploring.

Alright, you can continue, sorry for interrupting you before."

After Cheng Daqi finished, he leaned back gently, closing his eyes in some fatigue.

He wanted to take this opportunity to rest a bit.

After all, the professor on stage’s presentation ’On the impact of differences between toilet and squat toilet in public restrooms on users’ willingness to defecate or urinate’ was really nonsense.

He wasn’t interested at all!

Boss Cheng closed his eyes, but Temir was wide awake, quietly observing Boss Cheng’s profile, momentarily entranced.

Actually, she and Zhao Hongjin were quite similar in one respect—they were always in love with Boss Cheng’s pilgrim soul.

(The end of the book!

When I typed these words, I was filled with tears!

Thank you all, and thank myself too—these words are free of charge.

I’m a super conscientious author, never scamming you all~)
