Chapter 25 Philosophy

Sitting in the classroom, quietly listening to the professor's lecture.
"An ancient Chinese philosopher, Zhuangzi, proposed a philosophical point of view that people cannot accurately distinguish between reality and illusion. One day he dreamt that he had become a butterfly, and when he woke up he found himself still Zhuangzi. So, was it him dreaming of a butterfly, or was it the butterfly dreaming of him?"
On the classroom, the professor is wearing a casual sweater or knit cardigan. His slightly graying hair is complemented by the gold-rimmed glasses on his collar.
He puts on his glasses and gazes at the students seated before him. He asks, "Zhuanzi Dream Butterfly, not knowing if the butterfly or Zhuanzi is real or an illusion, reflects a confusion and doubt about one's own existence. What are your thoughts?"
A student raised his hand, and the professor pointed to him: "This student, please answer."
His face was full of confidence and composure as he slowly stood up from his seat: "Firstly, humans must exist before they can have thoughts! Existence is real, and thoughts are generated in reality, but thoughts themselves are illusory!"
The conclusion was lengthy and impressive, causing the classmates in the classroom to applaud.
"Well, this student may take a seat now," said the professor.
The professor wrote five big words on the blackboard: "I think, therefore I am."
After class ended, some unwelcome guests appeared on the peaceful campus of the University of Hong Kong.
A young man dressed in a black suit jacket with gold-rimmed glasses made him look like a scholarly, youthful lecturer in the school.
There are two middle-aged men in floral shirts walking behind him, and from their physique and callused hands, it's clear they are not ordinary people.
Cui Chong just walked out of the school building. He was wearing a white T-shirt and a pair of jeans that had been washed several times, and he was holding notes from class in his hands.
The weather has already entered deep autumn, and his attire makes him appear a bit thin.
The man in the elegant black suit paused in front of Cui Chong, looking to be about twenty-eight years old.
At the moment he saw Cui Chong, he bowed ninety degrees with his waist, and the two men in floral shirts behind him followed suit.
The students who came out with Cui Chong turned their attention to this seemingly low-key classmate. From the temperament of the three, it was clear that they were not ordinary people.
Now that school has started for a while, this classmate's presence is just like an ordinary passerby.
Meanwhile, Cui Chong completely ignored them and walked past them directly.
"Mr. Cui, we came here with Sheng Group to apologize for our behavior that offended you last time. The boss wants to see you in person and express his apology. We hope you can spare some time today!"
They rarely mention their club background when they are outside, but speak openly and candidly here, of course, that is their surface background.
The Chairman of Hegemon Group is Du Jiaxi, while other regional leaders serve as directors.
This is the status of the association, which extends to the rights of the group on the surface.
Directors do not have the right to interfere in the overall development of the company, and are responsible for distributing their share of profits each year.
Some students around were amazed and some exclaimed: "Hesheng Group? The famous big company in Hong Kong, I didn't expect him to have this background!"
After all, his dress and appearance were very ordinary, and he had a low sense of existence, without any second-generation aura.
Both Hesheng and Ershiniannian have successfully transformed themselves two decades ago, and now they have a presence in both legal and illegal industries, thriving in the capitalist society.
The young man in front of us may look elegant, but his identity is far from simple.
He is not a simple clubbing juvenile, but a top-notch student majoring in law and psychology at the University of Hong Kong. He is also the legal advisor for the He Shenghe Club.
He is a strategist for the He Shenghe Club and can be considered one of the top figures in the club.
Now he can speak to the young man in front of him in such a low and humble tone because of the impressive performance of the young man at the Red Coral nightclub a few days ago.
The young man in front of them has the ability to flip the table!
Outside the school, several luxury cars were parked at the campus gate, which is not common even for prestigious universities like the University of Hong Kong.
As such, an ordinary student wearing a white T-shirt and jeans boarded the car amidst the crowd, drawing the attention and murmurs of onlookers. One young man in particular looked at the back of Choi Chung with some doubt in his eyes.
He was a young man who had just been in the same class as Cui Chonggang and was very popular.
His father was the new leader of Xinji, different from the election in Woji, which is based on inheritance from father to son.
And his two elder brothers have already been involved in the family business. As an insider in the industry, he naturally knows the reputation of Lawsuit Lawyer Kun, who is a cunning snake and the mastermind behind most of Shenghe's decisions.
能够令他如此恭敬的，即使是陈嘉喜的私生子都做不到吧！
他之所以跟着他们过来，是因为刚刚那人说了简短的一句话，只能他们两人能听见。
"Our boss said he can answer secrets from you."
Bakun, who was beaten to death by him, appeared in the same condition as him, and was mostly in an irrational state, just like him, and did not come from this local world."
He felt like he was outside a fog and only had a glimpse of the iceberg of this world.
There are still many secrets waiting for him to discover, and he hopes to get the answers this time.
Looking at the incessant flow of vehicles outside, and the bustling crowds, the towering buildings illuminated by lights, after staying in Foshan for so long, he almost forgot the bustling scenes of the world. Now, each scene here makes him revisit it once again.
However, there was no ripple in his heart, and there was no nostalgia or yearning.
Sitting in the passenger seat, Lawyer Sun Kun looked at the other party's eyes through the rearview mirror.
He had studied psychology, and his professional habits made him unable to help but analyze a person.
可在他的身上却看到了一种极为矛盾的一个个体，在他冷静如水的情绪之中仿佛压抑着一个极为暴戾呢人格。
可明明却又是一个意志坚定的人，又怎么会有这么不稳定的情绪呢？
This is like a split personality, but the other person does not fit its characteristics.
He noticed the pair of eyes in the rearview mirror looking back at him. The narrow phoenix-shaped eyes did not seem gentle but sharp, making him unconsciously avoid direct eye contact with the other person.
In Causeway Bay, Central and Western District, towering buildings are scattered around, and vehicles stopped in front of a hotel at the heart of the central district.
Despite the bright lights, it was eerily quiet and there was scarcely a soul around.
Only seeing the Chinese-style buildings on the upper and lower levels, a Hong Kong-style tea restaurant sits in front of me.
A black sign with gold letters reads "Jiu Ji Yuan".
"Sir, this way please."
