Chapter 707: Master Lynch Understands Everything
“Inspirational film!” Lynch’s single comment lit up Shawn’s eyes.
“Yes, yes! Inspirational film—Mr. Lynch, that’s exactly what I was trying to say!”
Shawn’s mood improved, and he became a bit excited—typical of intellectuals.
They’re proud, even if they don’t show it. In an era where college education isn’t yet widespread, culture and the arts are seen as highbrow. Not everyone can understand what an artist wants to express, which only makes them prouder.
You can’t even understand what I’m trying to say—why should I take you seriously? That’s likely their most honest thought. They may act humble, but deep down, they look down on you.
Shawn probably didn’t even think much of Fox Jr.. If not to prove himself, he wouldn’t bother socializing here at all.
Fortunately, he came—and met a boss who understood him. That instantly put him at ease.
It’s a feeling only kindred spirits know. He believed Lynch could relate—struggling in this filthy world, only those of the same kind could understand his loneliness and isolation.
Shawn was an interesting man. He loved literature and had published a few works as a student that received praise.
