Chapter 2488 (Two Thousand Four Hundred and Eighty-Eight) Interruption

"Yes, I'll draw it right away." Li Pingrun replied.

As he said that, he went over and looked at the ink on the table.

"Spread the paper first. If you don't spread the paper, you will start to use ink. Where will you draw?" Tie Wandao said.

Li Pingrun said, "Oh, I'm just taking a look first. I also want to spread the paper before painting." After saying that, Li Pingrun spread the paper on the table.

Tie Wandao said, "It's just ink. What's so good about it? My subordinates just said that the ink is already ground. Didn't you hear it? Don't tell me you didn't hear it. People not only need brains, but also ears."

Li Pingrun wanted to explain, but he felt that since Tie Wandao had said so, no matter how he explained, he would probably still have something to say, so he said nothing and continued to prepare to paint.

He didn't expect that his silence would cause Tie Wandao's dissatisfaction.

"I'm talking, can you hear me?" Tie Wandao said.

"I heard it." Li Pingrun said.

"You did react after hearing it. I just told you that you not only need to use your brain, but also your ears. Even if you have all of those, you still need to use your mouth. Otherwise, if you think of it and hear it, how can you give feedback to others?" Tie Wandao said.

Li Pingrun looked at Tie Wandao and waited for him to speak. He had not expected that Tie Wandao would have finished his words here.

Tie Wandao immediately asked him: "What did I say just now?" "With my brain, with my ears, and with my mouth," said Li Pingrun.

"After I said that, you don't have to close your mouth?" Tie Wandao asked.

"I thought the clan leader was going to continue speaking," Li Pingrun said, "so I didn't interrupt easily."

Tie Wandao never likes others to interrupt him when he is talking. If others interrupt him, he will feel that they do not respect him and that he does not have enough face. He is likely to interrupt others when they are talking. Not only that, but sometimes after interrupting others, he will not give them a chance to continue speaking. Others will be blocked by him. He does not think there is anything wrong with this. He thinks it is natural for him to do so as the patriarch. Li Pingrun learned this during his interactions with Tie Wandao. In order to prevent Tie Wandao from thinking that he interrupted, he kept waiting for Tie Wandao to speak. At this time, he said in front of Tie Wandao that he thought the patriarch was going to continue speaking so he did not interrupt easily, which was to express his actual thoughts.

Tie Wandao said, "Who told you to interrupt? You are definitely right not to interrupt me when I am talking, but can't you hear me if I continue to talk? Do you mean that you only brought ears, but not brain and mouth?"

Li Pingrun originally thought that he shouldn't say anything to Tie Wandao at this time, but he was worried that Tie Wandao would say he didn't speak, so he said, "No. I'm just not sure whether the clan leader has finished what he said just now. What if I interrupted before the clan leader finished speaking, it would be so inappropriate."

"Even if you're not sure, can't you just say 'oh' when you hear me speak?" Tie Wandao said.

Li Pingrun thought: Just now the clan leader asked, "How do we give feedback to others?" It would not be appropriate for me to respond with an "Oh".

But he felt that it was not appropriate to say this to Tie Wandao, otherwise it would easily make Tie Wandao think that he was denying the correctness of Tie Wandao's words, so he just said: "The clan leader is right, I will pay attention to it."

Tie Wandao was about to say something critical, but before he could say it, he heard Tie Jinjue say, "Patriarch, do you think the girl who went to the basement of Muxi Pavilion was practicing the Palm of the Universe?"
