Chapter 346

Netizens who had already moved their stools, cracked melon seeds, and sat waiting to eat melons swarmed in like a floodgate.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I’m here to liven things up for you!"

"Ye Gouzi, I’m here! I missed the airport photo with Ye Gouzi last time, so I can't be absent from today’s live broadcast!"

"Where is Ye Xuan? Where is Ye Xuan?!"

"Ye Gouzi is sitting in the C position! Wow, why do I feel like only Ye Gouzi is leisurely?! On the contrary, the other three guests are a bit nervous..."

At this time, netizens had gradually noticed the atmosphere of the four people at the Roundtable Party.

Whether it is Dou Wentao, a gold-medal host who has been in the media industry for more than thirty years, or the famous intellectual Liang Wen, and the young talented writer Jiang Fangzhou, everyone present is a big shot in this industry.

But at this moment, the slightly pursed lips, straight backs, and clenched fists of the three revealed their nervousness.

And in sharp contrast is Ye Xuan, who is half-lying on the sofa, relaxed, and leisurely tasting tea.

After all, Ye Xuan is the benchmark of the literary world.

With an idol in front, who can control their excitement?!

At this moment, Dou Wentao remembered his important role as the opening host and took the lead to introduce.

"Welcome to the first episode of the sixth season of the Roundtable Party; I am the host Dou Wentao. Today, I finally invited my idol—"

Halfway through, Dou Wentao’s flushed face couldn't hide his excitement; he deliberately paused for half a beat, and then suddenly raised his volume.

"Mr. Ye Xuan!"

As soon as the voice fell, Jiang Fangzhou and Liang Wen on both sides had already applauded very supportively.

The live broadcast room also brushed a wave of barrage after wave.

At this moment, Ye Xuan also nodded slightly, and seeing the applause from the host and guests didn't stop for a long time, he couldn't help but smile.

"Low profile, low profile."

Seeing Ye Xuan say this, the three of them also put down their hands.

Unexpectedly, the next second, they heard Ye Xuan say this slowly.

"No applause, just screams."

Jiang Fangzhou was stunned at first, and then laughed out loud on the spot.

Dou Wentao and Liang Wen beside her also showed smiles after reacting.

Originally thought Ye Xuan was being humble, but didn't expect Ye Xuan to come with a reversal on the spot.

The netizens in the live broadcast room had already brushed 666.

"Oh, you call this low profile? Almost everyone in the country knows!"

"This guy has the word 'show off' written on his face!"

"No applause, just screams, I’ll give you my voice!"

"It really is you, Ye Gouzi! I didn't expect such a reversal waiting for me!"

"It still has to be you! You don't stop until you say something amazing!"

Just as the barrage was brushing the screen, Dou Wentao, who was laughing with wrinkles on his face, also slowly reacted.

I’m afraid Ye Xuan had already seen everyone’s nervousness, and this was a little joke to ease the atmosphere.

Now that everyone was laughing and leaning on the sofa because of this little sentence, where was the initial tension?

Thinking of this, the look in Dou Wentao’s eyes toward Ye Xuan was even more grateful.

After introducing Jiang Fangzhou and Liang Wen again, Dou Wentao cleared his throat and entered the topic of this time in a deep voice.

"Today, the guests we invited are all big shots in the literary world. We want to talk about a very classic question, about knowledge.

There is a kind of person in this world who thinks they are great if they have money, and there is also a kind of person who thinks they are great if they have knowledge."

"In my opinion, whether it is money or talent, everyone is equal in personality; I don't know what you think?"

Jiang Fangzhou beside him nodded and took the lead to talk.

"Yes, many people will feel that the other party knows so many things, and if they don't know, they will feel ashamed. But conversely, if you don't know and pretend to know, that is the real slap in the face."

Jiang Fangzhou’s voice was slow and orderly, and Liang Wen couldn't help but agree.

"Indeed, many people now also say that the ancients had a lot of knowledge and admired ancient times very much.

But there is a word in ancient times called 'learning rich in five carts.' Don't forget that these five carts are filled with bamboo slips; in fact, after five carts, I’m afraid there are only a few books, maybe not as many as everyone reads."

The speeches of three consecutive guests triggered countless discussions in the barrage of the live broadcast room.

"I have so much resonance with this topic today. I often feel inferior because I know so little!"

"So learning rich in five carts doesn't have many books! Learned something!"

"Also, the ancients are concentrated essence!"

"Yes, what’s wrong with knowing less, what’s wrong with knowing more, everyone is actually equal in personality!"

"Listening to big shots talk is always fascinating, and I don't know what Ye Gouzi will say..."

At this moment, seeing that the host and the other two guests had finished speaking, both the netizens in the live broadcast room and the three of Dou Wentao had looked at Ye Xuan, who hadn't spoken yet.

As the heavy guest this time, what will Ye Xuan say?!

At this time, Ye Xuan was still leaning on the sofa, his body stretched, his posture relaxed, seeming to notice the eyes of everyone, curled his lips, and chuckled.

"A farmer comes to the city and doesn't understand traffic rules; he is not stupid, he just doesn't understand very well."

A city person goes to the countryside and can't distinguish between wheat and rice; you can't say he is stupid either, he just doesn't understand very well."

"Human knowledge is like a circle; inside the circle is the known, and outside is the unknown. The more you know, the bigger the circle, and the more you don't know."

"The more you know, the more unknown there is. I know that I am ignorant."

Knowing one’s own ignorance is the greatest wisdom."

Ye Xuan slowly threw out the classic quote of the sage Socrates.

Sorry, now there is only Ye-crates!

And as soon as this sentence was thrown out, the three guests were stunned at the same time.

Knowing one’s own ignorance is the greatest wisdom?!

It was clearly a short paragraph, but it seemed to hit the hearts of the three like the bell of a temple.

If this was uttered by an ordinary person, everyone might not take it to heart.

But it happened that Ye Xuan said this.

As the first Chinese writer to win the Nobel Prize in Literature.

As the number one person in the literary world today.

As the miracle itself that broke countless miracles in literary history.

Yet he says he is ignorant?!

What a rare wisdom of knowing one’s own ignorance!

This is the real smart!

If a person is self-deprecating, arrogant, and doesn't realize his own shortcomings and deficiencies, that is the real ignorance!

At this moment, Jiang Fangzhou, who had been listening carefully, felt enlightened.

Turning her head suddenly, the look in her eyes toward Ye Xuan became brighter and brighter, and she had already started to support him for the first time.

"Mr. Ye is right!"

And the barrage in the live broadcast room had already exploded like a tempura fryer.
